Murong Ke stayed in Chengde Villa for two days. Other than the first day he saw the Empress Dowager, he hadn't gone to greet her for two days. He also found that the servants in Chengde Villa behaved strangely. They didn't seem to speak much and there were even mutes serving the Empress Dowager.
He observed silently for two days and found that the Empress Dowager would make a big fuss before going to sleep every day. She would only fall asleep when Mo Rongyi read to her.
Murong Ke had traveled the world for so long that he had naturally heard of everything. But … if the Empress Dowager was hypnotized, it couldn't be like this. Especially Mo Rongyi … He didn't believe that Mo Rongyi could hypnotize people.
He decided to observe in secret.
When Mo Rongyi came out of the Empress Dowager's room, he happened to see Murong Ke standing outside. He frowned, "Sixth Brother, why are you here?"
"I hunted a goat in the mountains this morning and sent it to you and Mother. You can have a taste tonight." Murong Ke said with a smile. His deep eyes looked Mo Rongyi up and down. Although he hadn't spent time with Mo Rongyi, he still had a good eye for people. He didn't think this young man was an impatient and deep person.
"Mother just had her afternoon nap. If you want to greet her, come back later." Mo Rongyi said with a smile. He had been with Murong Ke for two days and felt that this Sixth Brother was a good person. But he really didn't want others to see the Empress Dowager's current situation to avoid more discussion.
Murong Ke nodded with a smile, "Then you have nothing to do. Come, accompany Sixth Brother to ride outside. We have nothing to do anyway."
"The weather is so hot, I'm not going." Mo Rongyi refused.
"You're a man and you're afraid of the heat?" Murong Ke glanced at him with a faint smile.
Mo Rongyi actually wanted to go. He was also very bored accompanying the Empress Dowager every day. When he saw Murong Ke's disdainful look, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
"Right, there's something I haven't asked you. What's wrong with the Empress Dowager that she didn't even go to His Majesty's wedding?" Murong Ke and Mo Rongyi went to the stable to pick a horse.
"Nothing," Mo Rongyi said. He didn't want to mention anything about the Empress Dowager's illness.
Murong Ke looked at him with a smile. "Is that so?"
Mo Rongyi picked a tall black horse for himself. He didn't even look at Murong Ke before he got on the horse and left the stable.
This child still didn't know how to conceal his own thoughts.
Murong Ke shook his head with a smile. He mounted his horse and followed after Mo Rongyi. Not long after, he caught up with Mo Rongyi. "Who is your master in the capital? I heard from His Majesty that you still need to go to the study every day? "
"Lord Xu." Mo Rongyi said that his teachers were all personally chosen by his royal brother. However, he didn't really like reading books every day. It wasn't fun at all.
"I thought you liked chanting scriptures, but it turns out that you do." Murong Ke said with a smile.
Mo Rongyi's face darkened as he glared at Murong Ke. He knew that he was definitely suspected, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he rode his horse and galloped away.
Murong Ke squinted at Mo Rongyi's back. If Mo Rongyi had something to do with the Empress Dowager living in Chengde Villa, then what was his purpose?
This didn't make sense! If Mo Rongyi really had the ability to hypnotize, how did he send the Empress Dowager to Chengde Villa? Also, on the first day he came, he heard the Empress Dowager scolding Yao Yao. Murong Ke fell into deep thought.
Mo Rongyi ran one round to his heart's content, his body was covered in a layer of sweat. His entire body felt comfortable as he let out a breath. It had been a long time since he enjoyed himself to the fullest. These past few days he had been accompanying the Empress Dowager and felt very stifled.
"It's getting late. We should go back." Murong Ke said with a smile. "Maybe Mother has already woken up."
"I'll go change first. If Mother doesn't see me when she wakes up, she'll be angry." Mo Rongyi said while panting. He strode to his courtyard.
Murong Ke raised his eyebrows. Why would the Empress Dowager be angry when she didn't see him when she woke up?
When he arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Murong Ke heard the Empress Dowager scolding before he entered. He listened carefully. It was all scolding the Emperor for being disrespectful and disobedient. He even disobeyed her marrying Lu Yaoyao. Lu Yaoyao was a demoness who brought disaster to the country.
The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor was so bad?
Murong Ke was slightly shocked. He slowly walked in. "Mother, have you woken up from your afternoon nap?"
Hearing Murong Ke's voice, the anger on the Empress Dowager's face faded. However, her tone was still not very good. "It's King Karma."
"He just went out for a run with Yi. He's sweating profusely. He went to change his clothes." Murong Ke bowed. "Mother, you don't look too good today. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
The Empress Dowager snorted. "How can I look good when I'm angered every day?"
Murong Ke smiled. "Who would dare to anger you? The Emperor just got married. He'll give you a few grandchildren soon. When that time comes …"
"I'm afraid that I'll be cursed to death by the prince of that demoness." The Empress Dowager snorted.
"Mother, why do you say that?" Murong Ke was shocked. For the Empress Dowager to say such vicious words, it seemed that she hated Yaoyao to the extreme.
The Empress Dowager was about to speak of her deep hatred for Lu Yaoyao when Mo Rongyi came in nervously. "Mother, you're awake? What are you talking about with Sixth Brother? "
"Look at you. Why is your face covered in sweat?" The Empress Dowager hated Lu Yaoyao, but she still felt sorry for Mo Rongyi. Seeing him covered in sweat, her heart ached again and she couldn't help but be distracted.
Murong Ke didn't ask anymore. He was now sure that the Empress Dowager hated Lu Yaoyao, almost to the point of deep hatred. What he didn't understand was what happened to the Empress Dowager who loved Lu Yaoyao like a daughter and even made her a princess two years ago.
He looked at Mo Rongyi quietly and their eyes met.
Mo Rongyi comforted the Empress Dowager. He knew that some things couldn't be hidden anymore. In fact, he didn't need to hide it anymore. Yesterday, he had sent someone to report to his brother that Sixth Brother was here. His brother had told him to let nature take its course. Some things couldn't be hidden from Murong Ke even if he wanted to.
After comforting the Empress Dowager, Mo Rongyi had the palace servants bring the Empress Dowager out for a walk in the garden.
"Yi, what happened to the Empress Dowager?" Murong Ke looked at Mo Rongyi solemnly. He didn't care much about the Empress Dowager, but he couldn't ignore it when it was related to Lu Yaoyao.
Mo Rongyi asked the palace servants to leave. He looked at Murong Ke. "Sixth Brother has been traveling all year round. I wonder if you've heard of hypnosis?"
"Hypnosis of Western Liang?" Murong Ke's expression froze. "The Empress Dowager has been hypnotized?"
"Yes …"
