?
Xu Huiru's heart pounded. For some reason, she regretted what she had just said on impulse. The Empress Dowager seemed to love Lu Yaoyao very much. Even if she knew that she looked like Ye Zhen, it should not change.
The only thing she could bet on was the emperor's disgust for the Ye family and Ye Zhen.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes were deep and dark. No one could see what he was thinking.
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. She didn't like Xu Huiru mentioning this topic.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that saying it will make you unhappy. I'd better not say it. In fact, I just thought of it for a while and didn't pay attention to it before." Xu Huiru said awkwardly.
"Since it will make people unhappy, forget it." The Empress Dowager said faintly. What's wrong with this Xu Huiru? Why is she deliberately targeting Yaoyao today?
Mo Rongzhan knew better than the Empress Dowager what Xu Huiru wanted to say. He always felt that Xu Huiru was a well-educated, gentle and dignified woman. She was different from Lu Wushuang. So, although he did not like her, he never treated her badly. It seemed that all women were the same. If their hearts were big, they would change beyond recognition.
"Who do you think Yaoyao looks like?" Mo Rongzhan asked faintly.
When Xu Huiru heard Mo Rongzhan's question, she was a little nervous and happy. "I think … Yaoyao looks a little like Ye Zhen."
The Empress Dowager shouted angrily, "What are you talking about? Have you seen Ye Zhen? Why does Yaoyao look like her? "
"Empress Dowager, please don't be angry. I haven't seen Ye Zhen for a few years. Although we used to be classmates, I don't remember much. I just had some impression of her. Maybe I remembered wrong." Xu Huiru said hurriedly.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at her with a smile. "You are right. Yaoyao looks very similar to Ye Zhen."
Both Xu Huiru and the Empress Dowager's faces changed slightly. The emperor already knew?
"But what does it matter?" Mo Rongzhan looked at Xu Huiru coldly. "It's not worth Consort Xu making such a fuss."
"I … I thought …" Xu Huiru didn't expect that the emperor had long known that Ye Zhen and Lu Yaoyao looked similar. Since he knew, why was he still so good to Lu Yaoyao?
Mo Rongzhan said coldly, "Do you think I should hate Yao Yao just because she looks like Ye Zhen?"
Xu Huiru hurriedly knelt down, "Emperor, this concubine didn't mean that."
The Empress Dowager was also surprised. She also thought that the emperor hated Ye Zhen. If he knew that Yao Yao looked like Ye Zhen, he would not be happy. But she did not expect that the emperor already knew.
"Ye Zhen is my former princess. Do you think I don't know what she looks like? She is her, and Yaoyao is Yaoyao. They are two different people. How could we be so foolish as to treat them as the same person? "Mo Rongzhan icily asked Xu Huiru.
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction. That's how it should be.
Xu Huiru's heart was filled with regret. She really shouldn't have been blinded by greed, and even more shouldn't have made things difficult for Lu Yaoyao in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Now, not only had she not succeeded, but she had also incurred the Empress Dowager's displeasure. She had spent so much effort to make the Empress Dowager like her.
"This concubine has been ignorant." Xu Huiru knelt down.
"Get up." Mo Rongzhan said faintly. His impression of Xu Huiru had changed. If a woman wants to disguise herself, she can disguise herself very well.
The Empress Dowager no longer paid attention to Xu Huiru, but looked at Mo Rongzhan with a smile. "Your Majesty, Aijia sees that you look much better today. It seems that Mister Chen and Yao Yao have taken good care of you."
Mo Rongzhan nodded. "Yao Yao applied medicine to me today and said that I would be fine in two days."
"That's great." The Empress Dowager finally felt relieved after a few days of worry. "Your Majesty, will you attend the morning court session tomorrow?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly.
Xu Huiru stood aside and did not speak. She had to quickly think of a way to convince the Empress Dowager and the Emperor that she was not deliberately targeting Lu Yaoyao.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty …" Fu De suddenly rushed in. "Not good, the Fifth Prince has surrounded the palace gate with his troops."
Mo Rongzhan immediately stood up from the bed. "He really can't help it?"
The Empress Dowager worriedly grabbed Mo Rongzhan's hand. "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Fu De, have the Imperial Army send the Empress Dowager back to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful." Mo Rongzhan said. Since the little snake's patience was gone, there was no need for him to pretend to be sick.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fu De saw that the Emperor was still calm and composed. He knew that today was the day of the Fifth Prince and Kang Lao Wangye's death. There was no longer any fear in his heart. He immediately went out and told the Emperor's orders to General Wei, asking him to send people to escort the Empress Dowager and Consort Xian.
Mo Rongzhan took the clothes off the screen and quickly put them on. When Xu Huiru saw this, she wanted to help him, but he pushed her away with one hand. "Go back to the inner palace."
"Your Majesty, Her Highness the Princess … She … She went to the female doctor's office." Fu De remembered that the female doctor's office was not far from the palace gate and suddenly became worried.
"What?" Mo Rongzhan's eyes turned cold. "Why did she go to the female doctor's office?"
"The Princess said that the Emperor's medicine needs to be changed. She went to find the doctor …" Fu De said in a panic. "Your Majesty, this slave will go and find Her Highness the Princess."
Xu Huiru looked at the worry in Mo Rongzhan's eyes that could not be concealed. She could finally be sure that the Emperor's heart for Lu Yaoyao was indeed different. It was not the affection of a brother and sister, but the love of a man and a woman.
"Mother, you go back first." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice and strode out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
When Ye Zhen came out of the Imperial Hospital, she heard the sound of shouting and killing coming from outside the palace gate not far away. She also heard the Fifth Prince saying something loudly.
"We have to protect the Emperor. Now the Emperor is unconscious and is being used by the treacherous officials. The Empress Dowager is partial to the Little Prince and conceals the Emperor's illness. We have to kill our way into the palace, get rid of the treacherous officials, and protect the Emperor …"
"Get rid of the treacherous officials, protect the Emperor!"
When Ye Zhen heard what was shouted outside, she almost laughed out loud. What a fool, the Fifth Prince, thought of such a reason and found an excuse for them to force the Emperor to abdicate.
"Bang the door!" The Fifth Prince shouted loudly.
Strange, why did the Nine Gates Admiral let them all run to the palace gate?
Ye Zhen looked at the palace gate that was banging and suddenly felt a little worried. What if the Fifth Prince really had the confidence to force the Emperor to abdicate?
"Kill!" Ye Zhen ran in the direction of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. She had not run a few steps when she heard the roar of killing coming from outside.
Did the Fifth Prince really find some helpers?
"Yao Yao!" Mo Rongzhan had already strode over with his people. Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mo Rongzhan …" Ye Zhen's face lit up. "Outside, there seems to be an accident outside."
Mo Rongzhan squeezed her palm and handed her to Fu De. "Send the Princess to the Palace of Benevolence and Peace. No matter what happens, don't come here."
Ye Zhen heard his words and suddenly grabbed his hand.
"I will be fine." Mo Rongzhan said to her with a smile.
