When Mo Rongzhan learned that the Empress Dowager ordered his aunt to admonish Ye Zhen and passed such an inexplicable decree, a monstrous anger surged in his heart. He took a few deep breaths to suppress it.
"Go to the Palace of Benevolence and Peace!" There was no trace of emotion in Mo Rongzhan's cold eyes.
The Empress Dowager had just woken up and was eating snacks. Only Aunt Cheng was waiting on her in the bedroom. Yao Ye was summoned by the Empress Dowager for some reason.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has just woken up …" An exclamation came from outside the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" The Empress Dowager asked doubtfully. She put down the pastry in her hand and saw Mo Rongzhan striding in. Her face lit up with joy. "Your Majesty, how come you have time to come to Ai jia at this time?"
Mo Rongzhan looked at his mother indifferently. For so many years, he had always hoped that he could bring a peaceful and noble life to his mother and brother. Now he had done it, but when did his mother start to change?
He could give the Empress Dowager any honor and status he could, but he also had his own bottom line and principles.
Ye Zhen was his bottom line.
"Mother, I heard that you gave Yao Yao a decree today?" Mo Rongzhan sat down, raised his eyes, and glanced at everyone in the bedroom. The Empress Dowager would not become like this for no reason. Someone must have instigated her.
The Empress Dowager's face sank. It turned out to be for Lu Yaoyao. "Ai jia did give a decree, but it was all for her own good!"
Mo Rongzhan smiled. "Mother, who are you doing this for? Yao Yao hasn't entered the palace yet, and you've already slapped her face. I'm afraid it's not for her own good, but to suppress her first, right? "
"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager's face turned red with anger. "Your Majesty, what are you planning to do? Are you questioning Ai jia for Lu Yaoyao?"
"I'm not questioning you," Mo Rongzhan said lightly. "It's just that there are some things you don't seem to know."
The Empress Dowager glared at him. "What else do you think I need to clarify?"
"Yaoyao is my Empress. Even if she hasn't entered the palace yet, she has the honor of being the Empress. I regard her as my life. I hope you remember and understand this fact. One more thing, she is she, and Ye Yisong is Ye Yisong. If you think that Yaoyao needs to be responsible for the sins of the Ye family, why don't you look for Ye Yiqing directly? Mother, Ye Yiqing is now the Prime Minister of Dongqing, second only to the Emperor. You are making things difficult for Yaoyao. Do you think that Ye Yiqing will not dare to do anything? " Mo Rongzhan's voice was light. He was not angry, but his words made the Empress Dowager feel a chill down her spine.
What did he mean by Lu Yaoyao was his life? Did he think that Lu Yaoyao was more important than her mother?
Mo Rongzhan continued, "To be able to marry Yaoyao is a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes. I can't wait to hold her in my hands and protect her, so I don't want the person who hurts her to be you."
"Your Majesty!" The Empress Dowager was furious. "Do you know what you're saying?"
"I think it's the Empress Dowager who doesn't know what she's doing!" Mo Rongzhan said coldly. "That's all I want to say. Mother, think carefully. In the future, before you do anything, it's best to think clearly before you do it."
"You …" The Empress Dowager was so angry that her face turned pale. She looked up at Mo Rongzhan, who had already stood up.
Mo Rongzhan said, "I still have to go out of the palace. Mother, have a good rest."
"Your Majesty, come back. Tell me clearly …" The Empress Dowager shouted angrily. Unfortunately, Mo Rongzhan had already strode away, not intending to listen to her anymore.
The Empress Dowager coughed. Watching Mo Rongzhan's figure gradually disappear outside, the anger in her heart burned even brighter.
After Mo Rongzhan walked out of the Palace of Benevolence and Peace, he stopped and coldly ordered Eunuch Fu beside him, "No matter what method you use, find out who is instigating the Empress Dowager."
Eunuch Fu responded in a low voice. With the Empress Dowager's previous affection for the junzhu, her current strange behavior was indeed very suspicious.
Aunt Cheng hid in the corner and looked at the emperor's back. She was hesitating, should she tell the emperor about the Empress Dowager bringing back a commoner girl? That commoner girl was most likely Yao Guiren, who had faked her death? Did the Empress Dowager's temper have nothing to do with her?
As long as she told the emperor about this, he would definitely get rid of Yao Ye. Perhaps … … or patch her up. At that time, the Empress Dowager would be fine.
If that didn't work, the most she could do was beg the emperor to let her out of the palace. She would return to her hometown to retire and not stay by the Empress Dowager's side.
Once she made up her mind, Aunt Cheng's expression became firm. She looked behind her and wanted to quietly walk towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Aunt Cheng, where are you going?" Before she could walk out of the Palace of Benevolence and Peace, Aunt Cheng was stopped.
"I'm going out for a walk. Do I need Miss Yao Ye's permission?" Aunt Cheng was shocked. Why was this Yao Ye here?
Yao Ye curled her lips into a faint smile. Her gaze was cold as she looked at Aunt Cheng, "The Palace of Benevolence and Peace is so big, isn't it enough for Aunt Cheng to walk around?"
Aunt Cheng coldly snorted, "I'll go wherever I want to go."
"I'm afraid you want to go complain." Yao Ye smiled and said, "Aunt Cheng, the Empress Dowager treats you well, but you're not that sincere towards the Empress Dowager."
"If I wasn't sincere towards the Empress Dowager, I would have turned a blind eye a long time ago. How could I watch as the Empress Dowager was framed by a sinister and ruthless woman like you? You're not some commoner girl, you're Ye Yaoyao!" Aunt Cheng said.
Yao Ye smiled, "I heard that Yao Guiren is already dead. Do you think a dead person can be resurrected?"
Aunt Cheng coldly snorted, "Whether you're dead or alive, only you know!"
"Naturally I have to know." Yao Ye said with a smile, "However, I still have to ask Aunt Cheng to keep your mouth shut."
"You think you can stop me?" Aunt Cheng stared at Yao Ye and asked.
Yao Ye shrugged her shoulders and smiled coquettishly at the two rough old maids next to her.
Before Aunt Cheng could react, the two rough old maids had already stuffed a ball of white cloth into her mouth and quickly grabbed her.
"The living aren't safe. Only the dead can never speak," Yao Ye said with a smile. "There's a deep well over there, and people often accidentally fall into it. Take good care of Aunt Cheng. If she falls, she won't be able to get up for the rest of her life."
Aunt Cheng's eyes widened in horror. This woman actually wanted to kill her?
Yao Ye blew on her fingers and looked at Aunt Cheng with a smile, "Aunt Cheng, you go first. Don't worry, the Empress Dowager has me to serve her."
"You evil woman!" Aunt Cheng stuttered. Unfortunately, her mouth was gagged and she couldn't speak at all.
"Take her away!" Yao Ye said coldly. She could tell that this Aunt Cheng was Mo Rongzhan's person. Fortunately, she had people watching her closely. Otherwise, she would have exposed her secret in front of Mo Rongzhan today.
