Murong Jie saw his father rushing into the drizzle regardless of anything, and quickly got up to chase him, but all he caught up with was his back.
When Murong Zheng ran to Qifeng Palace, everything inside and outside the palace was normal, except for the closed door.
"Where is the Queen? Why did you leave her alone in the palace?" He saw the palace maids and eunuchs standing at the palace gate and asked anxiously.
Without waiting for their answer, he quickly walked to the door and tried to push it open, but the door was locked from the inside.
"Queen, open the door quickly, Queen..." Murong Zheng's heart was hanging in the air. When he realized that the door was locked from the inside, he felt a pain as if it was cut by a knife. He shouted in panic.
But there was not even the slightest sound inside.
"Queen, please open the door quickly, otherwise I..." He was so flustered that he had difficulty standing. He shouted loudly, but he couldn't utter a single threatening word.
The eunuchs and palace maids at the palace gate were all old staff of Qifeng Palace. They were used to seeing the emperor angrily questioning the queen, and also used to seeing the emperor coldly ordering the queen to do things. They had never seen the emperor so distraught. For a moment, they were at a loss as to what to do and just stared blankly at Murong Zheng circling at the palace gate.
"What's your queen's maiden name?" Murong Zheng suddenly stopped and looked at the queen's personal maid.
"Your Majesty, you..." The maid was shocked and trembling with fear, and when she was about to speak, she heard Murong Zheng shouting at the palace gate: "Yue Rong, open the door, and let's... discuss what you want me to do."
Murong Zheng still didn't want to depose the queen, but at this moment, the queen had locked herself in the palace. If he didn't agree, what if... No, that what if would not happen.
“Your Majesty, the side room where I live can lead directly to the palace. You don’t have to…” The maid wanted to tell Murong Zheng that the queen was just very tired and fell asleep, but before she could open her mouth, Murong Zheng had already taken two steps at a time and walked towards the side room.
But before Murong Zheng could reach the door of the side room, someone stumbled to Murong Zheng, knelt down and cried loudly, "Your Majesty, please go and save my queen. My queen is in Qingliang Palace..."
"What happened to Ruer?" Murong Zheng naturally recognized Xiao Dezi who was kneeling in front of him. He was Concubine Dong's favorite eunuch.
"It's leaking in the Qingliang Palace, and the Empress..." The young eunuch wiped his tears while talking about the miserable condition of Concubine Dong. But just as he opened his mouth, Murong Zheng impatiently walked around him and went into the side room.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is crying out of grievance, saying that Your Majesty doesn't believe her and doesn't love her anymore." When Xiao Dezi saw that the Emperor was about to leave, she quickly reached out and hugged the Emperor's legs. The Queen had instructed that she must let the Emperor know that she was heartbroken and no longer believed in your love for her.
Murong Zheng looked angrily at the ignorant little eunuch who was blocking his way. For some reason, he thought of Concubine Dong. Both the master and the servant had been spoiled by him to the point of lawlessness.
Murong Zheng raised his foot and kicked Xiao Dezi on the shoulder. Xiao Dezi staggered and fell to the ground.
"This is the Queen's Qifeng Palace. Only a dog slave like you can yell and scream at will. Get out."
After saying this, Murong Zheng didn't even look at Xiao Dezi and hurried into the side room.
It was the first time that Xiao Dezi saw the emperor so angry. He didn't dare to go forward and could only stand up obediently and stand not far away, waiting for the emperor to come out. The imperial concubine was still waiting for good news from him.
Murong Zheng hurriedly entered the bedroom of Qifeng Palace from the side room. The bedroom was pitch black and so quiet that it seemed like an eternal night of sleep.
Murong Zheng felt like his heart was about to jump out. He stood at the door of the bedroom and tried to speak several times, but each time he ended up sighing.
