Mo Rongzhan came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and looked at Qian Xue standing in the main hall. His eyes were stained with a layer of frost. Today, Ye Zhen's expression was very different. He didn't know what Qian Xue had said to make her misunderstand. He shouldn't have kept her in the Overwatch Council because she had helped him in the past.
"Your Majesty has appeased the Empress so quickly?" Qian Xue saw him and showed a light smile.
"What did you say to the Empress?" Mo Rongzhan asked quietly, step by step coming in front of Qian Xue.
At this time, in Qian Xue's eyes, Mo Rongzhan was like the beast she saw in the mountains not long ago. Elegant, indifferent, ruthless, as if he could easily take her life. She could escape from the claws of the beast, but she might not be able to survive in the hands of Mo Rongzhan.
"Naturally, I will answer whatever the Empress asks." Qian Xue's face was a little pale. It seemed that she shouldn't have provoked Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan's thin lips evoked a cold smile. "I kept you in the palace for King Ke. If you say something you shouldn't say, you can go to the Overwatch Council."
"I thought that the Emperor would at least consider a little past affection." Qian Xue said with a pale face.
"Past affection?" Mo Rongzhan looked at her mockingly. "You are just a servant. It is natural for you to serve me. You becoming a killer of Qian Luocha is a crime punishable by death. What kind of affection do you want me to consider?"
He did show mercy for the sake of her help, but today, she talked nonsense in front of Ye Zhen. This alone was enough for him to kill her a thousand times.
Qian Xue knew that serving him was her duty, but when he said it like this, it still made her feel embarrassed. "So the Emperor is so angry for a woman. I thought you were born a cold-blooded and ruthless person."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. "You can see what kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person I am."
"I can't tell you what you want to know. I haven't seen King Ke for many years." Qian Xue whispered.
"Did you join Qian Luocha because of him?" Mo Rongzhan asked lightly.
Qian Xue said, "No. Back when I left the palace, I met Elder Zhuo. I knew that he was King Karma's master, so I wanted him to bring me to King Karma. After joining Thousand Rakshasa, I've never seen King Karma."
Mo Rongzhan knew that she wasn't telling the truth. Based on his understanding of Qianxue, if she hadn't met King Karma, she wouldn't be in Qian Luocha anymore.
Today, she deliberately said those words in front of Ye Zhen, nothing more than to let Ye Zhen misunderstand him.
"Wu Chong." Mo Rongzhan called Wu Chong in. "Take her to the Overwatch Council. Interrogate her however you want."
Qian Xue had been in Qian Luocha for so many years, so she naturally knew what kind of place the Overwatch Council was. She looked at Mo Rongzhan in horror, "Your Majesty, I've already told you what you want to know."
"No, this is not what we want to know." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
"This is the truth. You think this is not what you want because you can't find a chance to frame King Karma?" Qian Xue asked angrily. "You're already the Emperor, and King Karma has never done anything wrong to you. Can't you just let him go?"
Mo Rongzhan laughed coldly as he listened to her hysterical questions. "Take her away."
Qian Xue gritted her teeth, regretting her provocation in front of the Empress today. She thought that even if she angered Mo Rongzhan, he would at most continue to imprison her. Who would have thought that he would actually send her to the Overwatch Council?
"Your Majesty!" Qian Xue called out. Unfortunately, Mo Rongzhan was no longer listening to her quibbling.
The more she wanted to hide the truth for Murong Ke, the more Mo Rongzhan was sure of his suspicions. King Karma was definitely connected to Qian Luocha. However, whether or not he was the Pavilion Master of Qian Luocha was what he wanted to know.
"Did the people who went to look for King Karma send back any news?" Mo Rongzhan asked Shen Yi in a low voice.
Shen Yi replied, "They only found out that King Karma had been to the Wasteland. After that, they couldn't find his whereabouts anymore."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly. "Did the other assassin confess?"
"He confessed. He was sent by Teng Ye to kill Wanyan Xi." Shen Yi replied.
"Teng Ye?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows. He had heard of this name. It was said that he was the other chief of Qian Luocha. In the absence of the Pavilion Master, this person was in charge.
Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice, "Is there a portrait?"
"The man fainted during the interrogation. Tomorrow, I will have someone draw a portrait of Teng Ye." Shen Yi said.
"Good." Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. "You may leave."
Mo Rongzhan did not get the answer he wanted to know from Qian Xue. He was still worried about Ye Zhen, so he did not stay in the Palace of Heavenly Purity any longer.
"Aunt Pan, you must have been in the palace for some time." Ye Zhen held a cup of hot tea and looked at Aunt Pan, who was waiting on her side.
"Your Highness, this servant has been in the palace for at least twenty years." Aunt Pan replied with a smile.
Ye Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the tea leaves swirling in the teacup. "Oh, so Aunt Pan should have heard of a palace maid named Qian Xue?"
Aunt Pan recalled carefully. "Your Highness is talking about Qian Xue, the little palace maid who used to be beside King Ke. This servant has indeed heard of her. Later, King Ke gave Qian Xue to the emperor. She took care of the emperor for about two or three years before leaving the palace."
Even if they were not childhood sweethearts, two or three years was a long time.
"I see." Ye Zhen chuckled. "It seems that she should be very good. Otherwise, why would King Ke give her to the emperor?"
Aunt Pan remembered some things she had heard in the past and smiled awkwardly. "This servant is not very clear about this."
Ye Zhen smiled, "This consort is just asking casually."
"Where did Your Highness hear of this palace maid Qian Xue? She has been out of the palace for many years. I'm afraid she has long been married and had children." Aunt Pan said with a smile. Even if the emperor had once favored this palace maid, she was no threat to the Empress.
"Yes, it would be strange if she was not married and had children." Ye Zhen said faintly.
Hong Ying quietly walked in from outside. "Niang niang."
"Hmm." Ye Zhen looked up at Hong Ying.
"This servant heard that the Empress Dowager ordered Liu Zhihua to pack up her things and go to Chengde Villa tomorrow." Hong Ying whispered.
Ye Zhen nodded lightly. "This Empress Dowager will personally send the Empress Dowager out of the palace tomorrow."
Ye Zhen thought about it carefully. She was afraid that even if she sent medicine to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager would not take it. Ye Zhen thought about it carefully.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside.
Hong Ying looked at Ye Zhen. "Your Highness, the Emperor is here."
"Hmm." Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with a touch of indifference. "This Empress knows. You can go down first."
Mo Rongzhan strode in and looked at Ye Zhen with burning eyes.
