Murong Zheng took a step forward, but after hesitating for a moment, he retracted his leg.
He hurried into the queen's bedroom and saw her lying on the bed, not looking well.
"Why didn't the emperor leave?" The queen felt that she was too sick and had hallucinations. The emperor had clearly left, so why was he...
The queen's words made Murong Zheng stunned. He nodded awkwardly, sat down beside the bed, and said softly: "The imperial physician will be here soon. You should take a good rest first. I'll go out for a while."
"Your Majesty, please go ahead and do whatever you want." The queen said softly and closed her eyes tiredly.
The country has been peaceful in recent years, and there are very few urgent matters that keep the emperor busy late at night. If he goes now, he must be going to find Concubine Dong.
This kind of thing has happened too many times before, and the queen has long been accustomed to it.
"Queen, I'll be back soon." The Queen's attitude made Murong Zheng feel a little guilty. He felt in his heart that the Queen was seriously ill and he should stay with her.
The queen hummed inaudibly and closed her eyes. Murong Zheng looked at her and wanted to speak, but in the end he only sighed.
Because he was in a hurry to go back, Murong Zheng walked very fast. Murong Jie followed behind him and was out of breath after a short while.
"Jie'er, you go back first. I'll go see your mother." After hearing Murong Jie's panting, Murong Zheng turned around. When he looked at Murong Jie, his eyes were full of doting.
Murong Jie was different from other princes. He grew up under her pampering, so naturally she couldn't bear to see him suffer any grievances.
"Father, my mother may be in a bad mood, please don't be angry." Murong Jie bowed and prepared to leave, but suddenly said to Murong Zheng after turning around.
He had seen his mother's anger before, and if his father went there at this time, he would probably be blamed by his mother.
His mother was protected too well by his father, which made her mistakenly believe that she was the center of everyone.
"Don't worry about the affairs between me and your mother. The important thing is to study hard with your eldest brother."
Seeing the worried look on the child's face, Murong Zheng's heart softened. If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to make the child worry like this.
Bei'an, courtiers...
In fact, the queen could also be one, but when Murong Zheng thought of the queen, he immediately abandoned this idea.
On the way to Qingliang Palace, Murong Zheng was already thinking about how to get Concubine Dong to come out in Qingliang Palace. It would definitely not be possible recently. He would wait until the marriage between the two countries was over and then discuss it with Emperor Bei'an.
Or, when the time comes, Princess Jinxiu of Bei'an can be asked to take action. After all, Princess Jinxiu married into the Dong family, and Concubine Dong is Princess Jinxiu's aunt.
Murong Zheng's mind was full of thoughts on how to appease Concubine Dong, but he didn't expect to hear her voice before he even reached Qingliang Palace.
The loud shouting and vulgar words like "dog slave" all entered Murong Zheng's ears.
Murong Zheng was a little stunned. He knew that Concubine Dong was not a lady from a wealthy family and he never asked her to be as dignified as them. However, Concubine Dong usually behaved like a beautiful girl from a small family. He didn't expect that she was actually cursing.
Murong Zheng walked to the door of Qingliang Palace and saw two young eunuchs standing there with calm expressions, indifferent to Concubine Dong's scolding.
"You bastards, the Qingliang Palace is leaking, why don't you go in and take a look?" Murong Zheng thought about the abusive words of Concubine Dong and felt a little more impatient with the two young eunuchs in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the Qingliang Palace was specially repaired fifteen days ago to ensure that there are no leaks."
"Then the Imperial Concubine..." Murong Zheng was stunned, but he also understood that even if this little eunuch had the courage of a giant, he would not lie to him.
"The Imperial Concubine is not satisfied with everything in the Qingliang Palace." Another young eunuch couldn't help but interrupt.
