Murong Qianjue's eyes dimmed instantly like falling meteors.
He didn't make a sound, just hugged Dongfang Jing quietly.
Throughout the whole night, he maintained a single movement, and did not overdo it.
Chengqian Palace.
The news of the Queen Mother's death reached Emperor Ning, and Emperor Ning locked himself in his room for a whole half a day.
Shen Zhaoyu had seen Gongsun Yun's tricks, and was anxious to get Gongsun Yun and Yu Chizhen married, finally found an opportunity, and with the support of Aunt Xinlan, she came out of Sudiexuan.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is asking to see you outside the hall." Li De'an said in a low voice.
As if Emperor Ning didn't hear it, he sat there without moving.
Zhongli Yuyan was wearing only a middle coat, sitting beside Emperor Ning, frowning, and waved to Li De'an, motioning him to go out.
Li De'an naturally did not give up, bit his lip, raised his voice and called again, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine..."
"The queen mother just passed away. She didn't go to guard the spirit of the queen mother. What did she come to Chengqian Palace in the middle of the night?!" Emperor Ning suddenly raised his head, and his fierce eyes suddenly swept towards Li De'an!
Li De'an couldn't help being startled, then tugged at the corner of his clothes, forced himself to be calm, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine came here for the death of the queen mother. The queen mother was kind and cared for the princes and grandchildren during her lifetime." Youjia, now it’s gone all of a sudden, and these eleven princes are still fighting on the battlefield..."
Emperor Ning was slightly startled, his eyes softened a little, and he sighed softly, "I was negligent, let Zhaoyu come in."
"Yes." Li De'an nodded again and again, "How can someone as considerate as the imperial concubine be unable to understand His Majesty's filial piety."
When Shen Zhaoyu came in, her eyes were already red from crying, and she was dressed in sackcloth and mourning, looking like a good wife.
Zhong Liyuyan took the tea on the table and handed it to Emperor Ning, saying with an ambiguous gesture, "Your Majesty is thirsty, let's drink some tea."
After finishing speaking, she gave Shen Zhaoyu a fierce look.
The corners of Shen Zhaoyu's mouth twitched, a trace of disdain slipped in his dim eyes, and then his eyes were full of sadness again, and he looked at Emperor Ning with red and swollen eyes.
Emperor Ning was not an idiot, he immediately sensed Zhongli Yuyan's deliberate provocation, frowned displeasedly, glanced at her coldly and said, "Yuyan, it's none of your business here, you step back first."
"But Your Majesty, this tea..."
"I'm not thirsty, I don't drink." Emperor Ning pushed the cup of tea out casually.
Zhongli Yuyan was unaware that the cup of hot tea was spilled on the back of her hand, it was so hot that she was shivering all over!
Shen Zhaoyu glanced at her lightly, with a victorious smile on his face.
Zhong Liyuyan was so angry that she got up angrily, took the teacup in her hand, and quickly left Chengqian Hall.
As soon as Zhongli Yuyan left, Emperor Ning beckoned to Shen Zhaoyu and said, "Zhaoyu, come here and sit next to me."
"Yes." Shen Zhaoyu nodded, and slowly approached Emperor Ning, seeing the bloodshot eyes in his eyes, couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his temples.
Emperor Ning's tense nerves were relieved a lot.
Shen Zhaoyu felt that the timing was right, and opened her mouth slightly "..."
"Zhaoyu, I know what you want to say when you come to me." Emperor Ning closed his eyes and spoke first, "I can promise you to move out of Sudiexuan, but you want Eleven to return to the palace now... that's impossible. "
