Murong Zheng looked at the letter in front of him, feeling a little amused and helpless.
The eldest prince acted carefully and did not reveal any news about the Dong family being arrested. In fact, after the eldest prince left, he had been waiting for news about Concubine Dong. He even hoped that she would realize her mistake or admit it to him.
He didn't expect that Dong had gone so crazy that she actually wanted the Dong family to support Murong Jie to take the throne.
Murong Jie was spoiled by him since he was a child. He has a soft character and is not qualified to be the king of this country.
If Concubine Dong really succeeds, who will control the Zhou Dynasty
Concubine Dong or the Dong family
She was relying on the indulgence she received from him to overthrow the Great Zhou.
She is really lawless because she is spoiled by herself.
He had been angry with the Empress Dowager for these years. He believed that Concubine Dong was sincere to him, but his favor for Concubine Dong always had a bottom line, and that bottom line was the kingdom of the Great Zhou.
Therefore, even though Concubine Dong said countless times that she wanted Murong Jie to be the crown prince, he did not agree.
Looking at the letter in his hand filled with treasonous words, Murong Zheng vaguely saw the young girl from more than ten years ago.
She was a maidservant beside Concubine Jin. Every time she secretly glanced at him, he felt annoyed in his heart, because he didn't like the idea of having a woman coveting him around his beloved. A few times, he even wanted Concubine Jin to find a reason to send her away.
But before Concubine Jin could send her away, they were assassinated. Then, she said that she blocked the sword for him because she loved him from the bottom of her heart.
The confession mixed with blood and tears softened his heart and made him forget her ill intentions and her restlessness.
Then, he favored her so much that she became the most dazzling woman in the Zhou Dynasty, as bright as a dream.
He thought that all his efforts were worth it because she loved him more than his own life.
But I didn't expect that the truth would be so unbearable.
Back then, the young girl in my memory also became hideous, greedy and despicable.
"Come here, carry me to Qingliang Palace."
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that you are weak and need to rest. Concubine Dong is in the Qingliang Palace and cannot leave. Wait until you are better and then go see her."
The young eunuch advised timidly that even now, they were not sure what the emperor's attitude towards Dong was.
And it seems that no one who can make the emperor speak is here.
"Carry me over there." Murong Zheng's words were extremely firm. He just wanted to see that woman, the woman who had usurped someone else's favor for more than ten years, the woman who had put him in this embarrassing situation now.
During this day, the emperor's emotions fluctuated several times, and they all saw it. Seeing that he was angry, they naturally did not dare to disobey him anymore. They quickly had people pack up the sedan chair and carried him to the Qingliang Palace.
At the gate of Qingliang Palace, two young eunuchs looked normal. When they saw the emperor arriving, they just bowed respectfully and stood at the gate of the palace with no intention of opening the door.
Murong Zheng looked at them and suddenly remembered the late emperor's will they had mentioned before, that he could not go in.
"I won't go in. Open the door and call Concubine Dong." Knowing that the two little eunuchs in front of him were the Empress Dowager's men, Murong Zheng's tone became much softer.
He spoke in a negotiating tone, and he didn't know whether they would agree or not. After all, even if he was an emperor, he would not dare to disobey the will of the previous emperor.
The two young eunuchs were easy to talk to. Although they had the Empress Dowager as their backer, her backer was far away. They could not afford to offend the current emperor, especially since he had given them a way out.
The two young eunuchs opened the door obediently, and then one of them went in and called Concubine Dong to come out.
