Ye Zhen came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she wanted to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and go back. The Queen Mother was reluctant to let her go back like this, and wanted her to stay in the palace for a few more days, so that she could get back the skinny meat first.
She couldn't laugh or cry, and finally thought that she had to pretend to care about Lu Lingzhi when she went back now, so she didn't insist and stayed in the Compassion Palace.
She and the Queen Mother were talking about Murongyi playing polo just now, and just after they finished speaking, they heard the little palace maid outside reporting that Concubine Xu Xian had come.
The queen mother smiled and let Xu Huiru in, she seemed to like her very much.
Ye Zhen has some reservations about Xu Huiru's perception. When she was not married to Mo Rongzhan, she was in college with her. They didn't like each other, but Xu Huiru was able to pretend to be very close to her. , but she has done a lot of things behind her back, which she only found out later.
With her looks and scheming, it is not difficult to win the favor in the palace. Thinking that Murong Zhan might like Xu Huiru, a trace of inexplicable irritability slipped in Ye Zhen's heart.
"My concubine pays respects to the queen mother, and all the best to the queen mother." Xu Huiru behaved well and was very intimate with the queen mother.
"Get up." The queen mother said with a smile, and asked Xu Huiru to sit aside.
Xu Huiru looked at Ye Zhen with a gentle smile, "I heard that Princess Furong went to Jinwu City, did she just come back?"
As soon as she came back, she couldn't wait to enter the palace. It seemed that Lu Yaoyao really knew how to please the Queen Mother.
Ye Zhen understood what she meant, and smiled lightly, "Yes, I came back yesterday."
"The princess seems to have lost some weight. I heard that the Marquis of Anyang was seriously injured. Is it better?" Xu Huiru spoke sincerely, as if she was very worried about Lu Lingzhi.
"It's fine, thank you Concubine Xian for your concern." Ye Zhen dealt with her kindly.
Xu Huiru smiled and turned to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, my concubine copied a copy of the Mercy Mantra and gave it to you."
The queen mother frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to copy these things? Just serve the emperor well, and let Ai's family embrace the little grandson as soon as possible."
"Queen Mother, this... these are two different things." Xu Huiru lowered her head pretending to be shy, but she felt complicated in her heart. She could see that the emperor didn't hate her, and would still go to Xinhe Palace occasionally, and sometimes even just sit down It was the middle of the night, several times she thought that she would be able to attend bedtime, but the emperor did nothing after all.
She even wondered if she had done something wrong that the emperor refused to touch her all this time.
Seeing her shy look, Ye Zhen felt even more irritable.
The queen mother smiled and said, "The Ai family knows your filial piety. The emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, so he will inevitably focus on state affairs. If you are more considerate to him, the emperor will naturally like to go to your palace."
It seems that the queen mother really likes Xu Huiru, if it were Lu Shuang'er, she would definitely not say such a thing.
"The concubine will care more about the emperor in the future." With the queen mother's words, Xu Huiru felt that she had more excuses to care about the emperor.
Ye Zhen lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, it's one thing that she hates Murong Zhan now, but it's not a lie that she loved him for several years, seeing him hugging left and right now, she really felt... a little uncomfortable.
At this time, a palace maid came in from outside, saluted and said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the imperial concubine feels unwell today. I heard that Princess Furong is entering the palace, and I want to invite Princess Furong to come over."
Why does Lu Shuang'er want to see her again? A hint of impatience flashed in Ye Zhen's eyes.
When Xu Huiru looked up, she happened to see the expression in Ye Zhen's eyes, and she lowered her head and smiled.
The Queen Mother said to Ye Zhen, "Concubine Lu Gui is worried about Marquis Anyang, Yaoyao, you can go."
Ye Zhen didn't want to go at all, but the queen mother said so, what else could she do
"Yes, Queen Mother." Ye Zhen replied in a low voice.
When she came to Kunning Palace, Ye Zhen frowned and looked at Lu Shuang'er, "Is there anything you can do for me, imperial concubine?"
Lu Shuang'er covered her chest with one hand, "Yaoyao, you're back, tell me quickly, what's wrong, big brother?"
"Brother has come back, the remaining poison on his body is still not cleared, and doctor Qi is still needed to remove the remaining poison on his body." Ye Zhen looked at Lu Shuang'er lightly, "I heard that the empress is not feeling well, why don't you call the imperial doctor?"
Lu Shuang'er showed a weak look, "I am worried about elder brother, now I know that elder brother is back safely, so I feel relieved."
"Since the empress is fine, I'll go first." Ye Zhen said, don't think she can't see that Lu Shuang'er has nothing wrong with her at all, who is she trying to pretend to be ill
Lu Shuang'er hurriedly called her to stop, "Yaoyao, the emperor hasn't come to my place for a long time, can you go and persuade the emperor, I want to see him."
Ye Zhen almost laughed, if Mo Rongzhan didn't come to see Lu Shuang'er, could she have a way to make him love her again
"Your Majesty, why would the Emperor listen to me? If you want to see him, just ask someone to invite him." Ye Zhen said.
She still remembered how Mo Rongzhan doted on Lu Shuang'er in the last life. At that time, he never doubted Lu Shuang'er, and always thought that she was the one who saved him back then. Even if Lu Shuang'er was jealous, he would pamper her. Never let her status be threatened.
In this life... Ye Zhen still doesn't understand why Mo Rongzhan suddenly remembered that she had said her nickname before, and why he couldn't remember it at all before.
Lu Shuang'er said bitterly, "Then Xu Huiru used some method to coax the emperor not to come to me, Yaoyao, you are already a princess now, you can always say a few words for me in front of the emperor of."
"How do you want me to speak for you?" Ye Zhen asked with a half-smile, how long could Lu Shuang'er survive in the palace without Lu Lingzhi
She doesn't even have to go to Xu Huiru! Losing the favor of Murong Zhan, at least she must know how to honor the queen mother, but she still pretends to be sick every day instead of paying her respects to the queen mother.
"Just say that I miss him and want to see him. If I don't see him, I won't recover from this illness." Lu Shuang'er thought that Ye Zhen was willing to find Mo Rongzhan for her, and immediately said happily.
Ye Zhen suddenly felt that she didn't need to do anything to Lu Shuang'er. With Lu Shuang'er's head, she was already able to die.
"I'll do my best." Ye Zhen said flatly, "However, the Empress Dowager seems to have asked Concubine Xu Xian to care more about the Emperor. It's unlikely that the Emperor will meet me."
When Lu Shuang'er heard that Xu Huiru was fighting for favor with her again, her face immediately became stinky and dark.
Ye Zhen left Kunning Palace in a happy mood. Regarding Lu Shuang'er, she no longer needs to take action. I believe she will find her own death in a short time.
"Princess." On the cobblestone path, Ford was hiding beside him at some point, and when he saw Ye Zhen coming out of Kunning Palace, he immediately showed up and stopped her.
