Because the Dong family was taken down, there was no need to conceal the news that Murong Zheng woke up from the poisoning.
Even though the court was suspended the next day due to Murong Zheng's health, Concubine Dong still learned that Murong Zheng had been cured of the poison.
Eunuch Wan knelt tremblingly outside the wall of Qingliang Palace, and told Concubine Dong the news that Murong Zheng had woken up in a trembling voice.
"My Lady, is the imperial edict true or false? If it's false, both of us will die."
After talking about Murong Zheng, Eunuch Wan finally couldn't help but ask.
A false imperial edict is enough to cost him his life. If this edict is related to the Great Zhou Dynasty and the inheritance of the throne, then dying a hundred times will not be enough.
He now urgently wanted Concubine Dong to give him a definite answer, to confirm that the imperial edict was written by the emperor.
When announcing the decree, he was very sure. After all, the emperor was so affectionate towards Concubine Dong that he would write any kind of decree to make her happy.
But for some reason, ever since he learned that Murong Zheng had woken up, he had been feeling very nervous. He always felt that the imperial edict was a little strange, but he just couldn't find the reason.
When Concubine Dong heard the news that Murong Zheng had woken up, she felt cold all over. She had not expected that Murong Zheng would be so lucky.
She clenched her shaking hands tightly, and all she could think of was Murong Zheng. If Murong Zheng came to question her, how would she answer? If Murong Zheng really wanted to punish her, what would she do...
If it was before, she felt that even if she got into a huge disaster, she could solve it perfectly by just acting like a spoiled brat, but now...
She was a little unsure about Murong Zheng's heart, especially since Murong Zheng had been bewitched by the bitch Queen.
So, how to get out of this situation this time...
"My Lady, is that imperial edict left for you by the Emperor? Does the Emperor really want the Fourth Prince to be the Crown Prince?"
Eunuch Wan could not hear what was said inside the palace walls, and he was extremely anxious. The silence prolonged the panic in his heart infinitely.
"My Lady, please tell me what is going on. Tell me and I will work with you to find a solution."
"My Lady, if this imperial edict is false, we will have no choice but to die. I, this old slave..."
Because there was no answer from Mrs. Dong, Eunuch Wan's heart gradually pointed to the truth.
"Why are you so anxious? Do you think I have been able to enjoy my glory in this palace for more than a decade only because of the emperor?" Because of the panic in her heart, she was even more impatient with Eunuch Wan's crying.
"Then, Your Majesty, if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me and I will do it right away." Eunuch Wan asked softly with a trembling voice, but in his heart, he was thinking, if Concubine Dong really wanted to do something unforgivable, should he go to the Emperor with such a matter? That way, it seems that he still has a glimmer of hope.
Yes, that’s right. No matter what Concubine Dong wants him to do, he will tell the emperor.
That way, I can make up for my crime with merit and have a chance to survive.
"I'll write a letter later and you can give it to my nephew Dong Lanyang. He should be in Kyoto now."
It was obvious that Concubine Dong had already made up her mind.
"Okay, Your Majesty, please write the letter quickly. I will find a way to send it out." Eunuch Wan was very excited after hearing what Concubine Dong said.
Not long after, a letter came out from the hole in the wall.
"Go to the Imperial Kitchen and contact Little Li, and have our people cooperate with my nephew's actions today. If this succeeds, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Concubine Dong's promise sounded very tempting, but even Eunuch Wan was skeptical about her words.
The Dong family is the emperor's ministers. How much power can they have? The palace is the emperor's palace. How many connections does Concubine Dong have? Their confrontation with the emperor is like hitting a rock with an egg.
Eunuch Wan was a smart man and knew how to choose, so it didn’t take long for Concubine Wan’s letter to be delivered to Murong Zheng.
