The eunuch who went to take Concubine Dong came back soon without bringing Concubine Dong.
"The late emperor once issued a decree that the concubines who entered Qingliang Palace could never leave Qingliang Palace again for the rest of their lives."
"Move the two gatekeepers away and bring Dong out." Murong Zheng was a little annoyed. Strictly speaking, his father had not left too many orders for him to be restrained, but one Empress Dowager was enough. Unexpectedly, he even...
But just thinking about it made me feel relieved. The person who was imprisoned in the Qingliang Palace was my father's favorite concubine, and the decree he issued was not directed at Dong.
"Your Majesty, the young eunuch guarding the gate might be the Empress Dowager's man." After hearing Murong Zheng's order, the young eunuch suddenly knelt on the ground.
Those who can follow Murong Zheng are all shrewd people. Naturally, they know that the Empress Dowager is the emperor's Achilles' heel. He has tried his best to cover it up, but now he can only tell the truth.
Murong Zheng looked surprised. He looked at the trembling person in front of him and did not react for a long time.
If the eunuchs guarding the Qingliang Palace were the Empress Dowager's men, would they have known that Dong was going to poison them? They did not report it, so did they tell the Empress Dowager
Did the Empress Dowager know that Concubine Dong wanted to harm her? Did she acquiesce to Concubine Dong's actions
Is the Empress Dowager so disappointed in herself
"Bring the two little eunuchs here." Murong Zheng was silent for a long time before giving the order.
“Your Majesty, they…” The young eunuch hesitated to speak. The Grand Empress Dowager was a legendary figure in the palace. Anyone who could become the Grand Empress Dowager must have certain abilities. If he went to call them over, would they really obey him
"They will come." Murong Zheng was very sure about this. The Empress Dowager's people might have their own insistence, but they would definitely obey his summons.
Even though the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with him, she never humiliated him in public.
Whether in front of court officials or in the harem, the Empress Dowager always placed herself, the Emperor, in the most important position.
With the emperor's words, the young eunuch felt less anxious and hurried to call for help, but Murong Zheng's heart was already filled with huge waves.
Over the years, he had been able to prevent himself from thinking of the bright face in Feifeng Palace, but at this moment, those clear eyes seemed to be like a sharp blade piercing into his heart.
"Grandmother, will you come back?" Before the Empress Dowager left the palace, he went to Feifeng Palace for the last time and asked impatiently.
At that time, his greatest wish in his heart was that she would never come back.
"You won't come back." The Queen Mother spoke slowly, which made people feel at ease. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the Queen Mother continued, "As long as the Great Zhou is stable."
After the Empress Dowager passed away, he worked diligently and tried his best to keep the country peaceful and the people safe, all for the purpose of preventing the Empress Dowager from coming back.
He always believed that her return was a sign of his own incompetence.
However, when he realized that the Empress Dowager might not care even though his life was on the line between life and death, his heart was filled with resentment.
How could she be so cruel? Did she really not care about her own life or death? Or, did she really hope that she would be killed by Concubine Dong, and then...
I dare not think about it anymore, because when I think of her, I will still remember her kindness to me. I am already a young man, and when I go to Feifeng Palace, she will give me a handful of candy.
Just as Murong Zheng said, the two little eunuchs soon appeared in his bedroom. They bowed politely and then knelt on the ground obediently.
"Did you know in advance that Dong was going to poison me?"
The two young eunuchs raised their heads when they heard this, then looked at each other and nodded calmly.
Murong Zheng's anger burst out, and he wanted to kill the two people in front of him, but he was unwilling to do so. He suppressed his anger and asked, "How did you know about this? Did you tell the Empress Dowager?"
