After being interrogated repeatedly, this Lu Qi finally said that Su Mu had been out with an unfamiliar man, and sometimes the two of them would even come back together. After Zhuo Qingfeng found out, he felt very uneasy in his heart, Su Mu is now the current emperor's woman, no matter what sort of person the emperor is, but in the end, he is still Su Mu's husband, even if he doesn't have any status at the moment, the two of them would definitely be together in the future!
If Su Mu continued to indulge himself like this, he was afraid that there would be endless troubles in the future. Those long-tongued women would have their tongues twisted, and they would become a weakness in the future when they tried to deal with Su Mu!
In his anxiousness, Zhuo Qingfeng decided to personally go to the You Yin Valley to find Su Mu. It was a coincidence that Liu Zichen happened to be in the You You Valley today as he sat side by side with Su Mu.
From the view of their backs, the two of them could be considered handsome men and women. Zhuo Qingfeng stood at the back and coughed twice before walking forward and asking Su Mu, "Mu Er, why did you come out? It's really inconvenient for you to be carrying the top six right now; you should be less associated with people who are neither strong nor weak! "
When Su Mu saw Zhuo Qingfeng looking at her, she was very happy. She pinched her hand and said, "Qingfeng, you finally came to see me. You don't know that these few days, I have been feeling really depressed. Now, I want to tell you of a joyous event …."
Before Zhuo Qingfeng could say anything, Su Mu was already standing in the grass patch in front of him and said to Zhuo Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, have you seen that this place is extremely comfortable and relaxed? Today, I will also give it to you. From now on, this place belongs to us!"
"Su Mu, this place is a gift from me, what about it? You just casually send it to someone else? " This was the first time Liu Zichen had seen Zhuo Qingfeng. He had never seen a woman as special as Zhuo Qingfeng!
How should he put it? Even though she didn't have a smile on her face, Liu Zichen knew in his heart that Zhuo Qingfeng must be extremely beautiful when he smiled!
Zhuo Qingfeng frowned and said to Su Mu, "Su Mu, you have to take into account the emperor's feelings."
Hearing Lin Yi's name, Su Mu's face fell as he said to Zhuo Qingfeng, "Today I was so happy, I don't want to mention that person who made me unhappy."
Thus, the two of them sat there casually. Liu Zichen might have felt bored, but after a few days of chatting with Zhuo Qingfeng, he had no choice but to leave.
After he left, Liu Zichen and Zhuo Qingfeng returned to the Shoukang Palace. It just so happened that the little eunuch from the Caring Hall came to pass down a decree saying that the emperor was coming to the Shoukang Palace tonight. The empress dowager even specially bestowed upon Su Mu a series of new gifts, telling her to be more careful with her words.
The empress dowager was currently under house arrest, something the emperor didn't know about. If the emperor knew about this, he'd probably blame her. The empress dowager simply wanted to use these things to curry favor with him so he wouldn't speak nonsense in front of the emperor!
However, Su Mu gently shook his head and thought to himself, 'My heart is already as dead as death. A few days ago, Lin Yi hurt her heart.' How could he talk about such trivial matters to someone who wasn't related to them?
With great difficulty, Lin Yi had managed to recuperate and rush over to take a look at Su Mu. When the evening came, he finally arrived at the Shoukang Palace from the Heart Nurturing Palace. He first said a few words to the empress dowager, then went to take a look at Su Mu!
The imperial meal that he had today was originally at the Shoukang Palace, so it was a good day now. He happened to eat with Su Mu, but when he came over, he saw that Su Mu wasn't carefully groomed and was still wearing her usual wide robe!
Then, Lin Yi frowned slightly. He was not angry because Su Mu refused to dress up, but because Su Mu refused to dress up for him.
Lin Yi thought, could it be that Su Mu was still angry with him?
He walked up and gently held Su Mu's arm, then said to her, "Su Mu, are you alright?"
Su Mu replied coldly, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your servant is truly flattered!"
After she finished speaking, she did not greet Lin Yi anymore and walked forward without looking back. Today, Su Mu knew all of Zhuo Qingfeng's words. She also knew that Lin Yi, as the ruler of a country, had a lot of helplessness.
However, Su Mu didn't want to accept it in her heart. She just didn't want to accept that Lin Yi had already become such a person. He had three wives, four concubines, and viewed women as tools to ascend to the top!
After Lin Yi entered the main hall, just now, he had suspected that Su Mu was in a bad mood, which was why he was getting skinnier and skinnier. However, now that he saw all the decorations in the Longevity Palace, he understood.
It was clear that these items were newly unsealed. Moreover, this mahogany chair was given to the empress dowager just yesterday. The empress dowager had always disliked Su Mu, so how could she be so generous today as to gift this chair to Su Mu?
Lin Yi understood immediately. There was only one reason for this, and that was that the empress dowager knew that he was coming to the Longevity Palace today to let him know that Su Mu was being cared for by the empress dowager. Lin Yi had seen this from a young age, so how could he not understand?
However, if she wanted to be magnanimous, why did the Empress Mother let Lu Mu only have Lu Qi to serve him?
After Lin Yi and Su Mu sat down, Lin Yi said to Lu Qi, "Lu Qi, come over and tell me everything. What exactly has happened these days? Why did Su Mu fall to such a state? "
Lu Qi looked at Su Mu, then looked at Lin Yi, then kneeled on the ground and said, "Your majesty, Miss Su, it's all your servant's fault. Your servant doesn't serve you well …"
"I didn't ask you about that. I'm asking you about Su Mu. Tell me honestly!" This Lu Qi was obviously in a difficult situation. She didn't know if she should tell the emperor about the empress dowager's house arrest?
Lu Qi then kowtowed to the Emperor quietly, not wanting to speak a single word. She remained kneeling on the spot, but Su Mu couldn't stand it any longer. "Your majesty, you don't have to make things difficult for Lu Qi. I have everything to do, I'll tell you!" "You should ask your mother about this. Esteemed Empress Dowager wants me under house arrest and won't allow me to leave. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
When Lin Yi saw them all kneeling down together, he felt both surprised and uncomfortable. Su Mu had already suffered for such a long time, and in the past few days, he had been busy setting up his own concubines. The only thing he had overlooked was Su Mu's feeling, no wonder Su Mu was so sarcastic towards him and ignored him!
