Chapter 400: Chapter 400 - Not Comparable To Yaoyao
Chapter 400 â Not Comparable to Yaoyao
Mo Rongzhan didnât believe what Lu Wushuang said, but he hoped that Lu Lingzhi didnât know about this. Otherwise, he might be losing one of his most trusted generals.
Lu Shide⊠Was he the one to hide Little Yaoyao?
Upon returning to the imperial study, Mo Rongzhan summoned Cai Jinggao of the Supervisory House. Like Shen Yi, Cai Jinggao was one of Mo Rongzhanâs most trusted confidants. The Supervisory House was the branch he used to keep an eye on all of the court officials. Shen Yi was not in the capital, so it was most fitting that he had Cai Jinggao investigate Lu Shide.
If Lu Shide had really captured Little Yaoyao, he might let the Lu Family off. But, from now on, they wouldnât have anything to do with imperial favor.
Tonight, there were many people in the palace who werenât able to sleep. And likewise, there were many with the same problem in the Lu Family.
Although the imperial edict dismissing Lu Wushuang had not yet been issued, the news Lu Lingzhi brought back had rendered everyone speechless.
As soon as the gui fei was dismissed, the Lu Family would probably become the laughingstock of the capital.
Half a year ago. Lu Wushuang had still been the emperorâs beloved consort. There was no one in the capital who didnât envy this. How many people had hoped she would lose favor then? Who would have thought that⊠it would come so quickly.
âShuangâer has only made one mistake, and the emperor is going to dismiss her?â Old Madam Lu asked Lu Lingzhi in a whisper. She couldnât believe that, in a single night, the glorious Gui Fei had become a nun.
Lu Lingzhi was silent before saying, âHis Majesty was almost poisoned as well.â
Old Madam Luâs expression slightly changed. She grimaced and said, âWhatever, at least sheâs still alive. I had never expected her to do anything for the Lu Family anyway. Now that she can no longer be Gui Fei, she will have time to reflect on herself.â
âGrandmother, donât worry too much. When Shuangâer goes to Nianci Temple, I will have people take care of her,â Lu Lingzhi whispered.
âI shouldnât have let her enter the inner palace in the first place. She is not fitââ Old Madam Lu shook her head and sighed. âShe isnât comparable to Yaoyao.â
Lu Lingzhi was shocked at those words. âGrandmother, you say this becauseâŠ.â
âDonât think too much. I am just saying that Shuangâer is not as mature as Yaoyao.â Old Madam Lu sighed. âYou are tired tonight as well. Go back and rest. Keep this matter from your mother.â
âYes, Grandmother.â Lu Lingzhi lightly nodded.
He wasnât worried about whether his mother would be triggered by this or not. He was most worried if the emperor was aware that Lu Wushuang wasnât his savior. He would definitely have someone investigate what had truly happened.
What if the emperor knew that it had actually been Ye Zhen who had saved him?
Lu Lingzhi didnât dare imagine the consequences. It was nothing for him, but he couldnât implicate the entirety of the Lu Family. The only thing he could do now was to let the emperor expel his worries. But, how could he explain Shuangâerâs jade pendant?
He had thought that, with Ye Zhenâs death, the emperor would never know about this. But now it looked like⊠nothing was entirely safe, and he had still found out.
Ye Zhen woke up early in the morning. When she went to greet the empress dowager, Mo Rongzhan and Mo Rongyi were already in the palace.
The empress dowager called her to her side. âI heard you entered the palace last night. Silly child, did you think the emperor and I wouldnât believe you?â
Ye Zhen didnât know what to say, pressing her lips in a smile, and lowering her head in silence.
âSomeone who will not even spare their own sister, will I actually listen to what she says?â the empress dowager said.
âEmpress Dowager, I was wrong too. I shouldnât have gone with Gui Fei Lu to Xianfei Xuâs, otherwise, she wouldnât have had the chance to harm her,â Ye Zhen said quietly with guilt.
Mo Rongzhan quirked an eyebrow, looking at Ye Zhen. She had never quietly tried to please him before. Yesterday, she hadnât said she was wrong either. It looked like this little girl was still highly suspicious of him. She wouldnât try to please or act cute before him.
âHow could I blame you? If it hadnât been that Lu Wushuang wanted to use you, could you have agreed?â The Empress Dowager hummed. âWe will not bring this matter up again. Emperor, when are you sending her to Nianci Temple?â
âImperial Mother, I have already had people send her out of the palace.â
The empress dowager nodded and did not bring up Lu Wushuang again.
After breakfast, Ye Zhen took her leave to return to the Imperial Physiciansâ Courtyard. Only then did the empress dowager remember she had heard of her getting bullied while there.
âI heard there are people bullying you at the Imperial Physiciansâ Courtyard?â the empress dowager frowned and asked Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen laughed and said, âImperial Mother, who would dare bully me?â
âYou cannot use your position as Princess in the Imperial Physiciansâ Courtyard, I understand this. But if others think they can bully you because of this, or purposefully pick at you, then I will have to have a word on this matter.â The empress dowager coldly snorted.
âImperial Mother, with me here, no one will dare bully Yaoyao.â Mo Rongyi immediately wiggled up to his motherâs side pleasingly. âIâll take a walk over to the Imperial Physiciansâ Courtyard in a while, and let those people bullying Yaoyao know whoâs boss.â
