"… I believe that you will not be mean to Lu Jing. It was wrong of Fifth Wangye to quarrel with you because of this matter, but why did you beat him?" Ye Zhen asked helplessly.
The Fifth Wangye said with a sullen face, "This concubine has always been open and aboveboard. Even if I really wanted to clean up the concubine, there must be a reason. Fifth Wangye said that this concubine wanted to harm others without distinguishing right from wrong. He threatened that the position of Prince would fall on someone else in the future. How could this concubine calm down? I couldn't help but beat him."
She didn't want Fifth Wangye. There was nothing to be happy about in the glory he could bring her. The only thing she couldn't give up was the interests of her two sons. She would not let anyone take away what belonged to her sons.
Ye Zhen understood as soon as she heard it. This must have been instigated by Lu Jing behind her back. Otherwise, Fifth Wangye would not have said that the position of Prince would fall on someone else. It seemed that Lu Jing's ambition was not small. She thought that she wanted more when she was pregnant.
"Whoever is to be the Prince needs the approval of the emperor. Why are you so anxious with Fifth Wangye?" Ye Zhen said helplessly, "Now that things have become like this, how are you two going to end it?"
"This concubine wants to separate." The Fifth Wangye said firmly.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Separate? What about your two children? Do you think they will have a good life after leaving the Wangfu? "
The Fifth Wangye was stunned. Now she couldn't protect their interests even if she stayed in the Wangfu. What if she left?
"Yes, I can't leave!" The Fifth Wangye straightened her waist, "Empress, this concubine … this concubine has no choice but to enter the palace."
"You go back first. I will take care of this matter." Ye Zhen said. She didn't know how Mo Rongzhan was doing. If Fifth Wangye went to him, it was estimated that he was really determined to divorce the Fifth Wangye.
The Fifth Wangye nodded gently, "This concubine has moved to my mother's house with my children."
"Then live in my mother's house first." Ye Zhen said.
When the Fifth Wangye retreated, Ye Zhen wanted to ask Mo Rongzhan how to solve this matter. As soon as she walked out of Huaqing Palace, she saw Eunuch Fu hurrying over. "May the Empress be blessed."
"Eunuch Fu, what's so urgent?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Eunuch Fu came forward and said in a low voice, "The Emperor sent me to tell you that the Empress Dowager has returned to the capital. The imperial carriage is already outside the palace. Please go to the front to welcome the Empress Dowager."
Ye Zhen's face changed slightly, "The Empress Dowager is back?"
"Yes, Your Majesty only just found out." The Empress Dowager didn't even greet him when she came back, which really caught people off guard.
"Hong Ying, go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful and tell them to quickly pack up. This consort will go welcome the Empress Dowager." Ye Zhen took a deep breath. Although she knew that there was a problem with the Empress Dowager's return at this time, she still hoped that the Empress Dowager had woken up.
"Yes, Your Highness." Hong Ling accepted the order and left.
The empress dowager had planned to return to the Palace yesterday. She knew that Mo Rongyi would send someone to quietly return to Jingdou and forcefully forbade him from warning the Emperor. She wanted to return unprepared.
"Mother, why did you come back at this time?" When Mo Rongzhan saw the Empress Dowager's imperial chariot, he had already greeted her and looked at the guilty and guilty Mo Rongyi.
Mo Rongyi's bitterness could not be expressed. It was not that he didn't want to let someone send a message back, but that his mother did not allow him to say it. She lied to him that she would come back in two days. He wanted to send someone to the Palace today to remind the Empress Dowager.
He was cheated!
The Empress Dowager looked at the two brothers. "Can't Ai jia come back at this time?"
"I didn't mean that." Mo Rongzhan listened to the Empress Dowager's angry words and knew that she was still the same as before.
Ye Zhen hurried over. In fact, she was a little afraid to see the Empress Dowager. The eyes that used to look at her with a gentle smile had now become resentful and vigilant. She didn't know how to adapt.
"This concubine welcomes Mother back to the Palace." Ye Zhen stopped in front of the Empress Dowager and bowed her head.
The Empress Dowager looked at Ye Zhen coldly. She didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart. When she saw Lu Yaoyao standing here, an indescribable disgust surged in her heart. "I'm afraid that Ai jia's return will hinder some people."
Ye Zhen knew that the Empress Dowager was talking about her, but she could only bow her head in ignorance and pretend not to understand anything.
Mo Rongzhan smiled and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? I and the Empress are very happy that you have recovered from your illness."
Recovered from illness? The Empress Dowager snorted coldly. "In the Emperor's opinion, Ai jia may still be ill."
"Then I will send the Empress Dowager back to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful first. After a while, I will ask the Medical Officer Qi to come and check your pulse. Then I will know if you have recovered from your illness." Mo Rongzhan's voice also faded.
Although the Empress Dowager had an inexplicable anger in her heart, she also knew that if she embarrassed the Emperor here, she might really be placed under house arrest in Chengde Villa.
Ye Zhen followed silently. At this time, no matter how many words she said to please the Empress Dowager, it was useless. The Empress Dowager would certainly not appreciate it.
When they arrived at the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, the palace servants were already waiting outside to greet the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager glanced at them, her face gloomy. She didn't know how many people she could trust in her Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful now.
"Mother, you must be tired. Why don't you rest first?" Mo Rongzhan said with a smile. "I will talk to you after you have rested."
"Ai jia is not tired." The Empress Dowager said faintly, her eyes falling on Ye Zhen behind Mo Rongzhan. "Ai jia has been looking forward to the Emperor's wedding for so long."
Mo Rongzhan smiled and said, "Mother, isn't this what you hoped for the most?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Ye Zhen's eyes and felt all kinds of annoyance. "All right, you have been filial. Go down. Ai jia doesn't need you to accompany me."
"Mother, then we will go down first." Mo Rongzhan said, his eyes looking at Mo Rongyi. He still wanted to know what was going on and why the Empress Dowager suddenly came back from Chengde.
The Empress Dowager didn't want to see them either, so she waved them all down.
Ye Zhen bowed her head and followed Mo Rongzhan out of the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. She sighed softly. "Why does it feel like one wave has not yet subsided."
Mo Rongzhan smiled and held her hand. "Did the Gong family come to see you again?"
"The Gong family did not make a big mistake. No one would be able to bear it." Ye Zhen whispered. "I can't make the decision on this matter. It's better for you to solve it."
"I will let the heir be chosen tomorrow, but …" Mo Rongzhan looked down at her. "The Fifth Prince dotes on the concubine so much. It seems that it is because her surname is Lu."
Could it be that it has something to do with her? Ye Zhen frowned in disgust. "I also want to call Lu Jing into the palace for questioning."
Mo Rongzhan nodded and said no more.
