Seeing that he couldn't see Xue Lao Yun, the image of Zheng Ziyi's face couldn't help but surface in Mu Zheng's mind. Having been together with her for so long, it could be said that Mu Zheng had already gotten used to her. Sometimes, he couldn't even say if the one he liked was Zheng Ziyi or if he used it as a substitute for Xue Ruyun.
At this moment, Mu Zheng's mind was completely preoccupied with matters. He could not help but walk towards Zheng Ziyi's palace.
Zheng Ziyi had long heard about what happened to Mu Lingfeng. She felt that she should help him at this time to suppress Mu Zhuo and extinguish the spark that had just appeared in his heart.
Just as Mu Zheng sat down, Zheng Ziyi was already kneeling at his feet. She was beating his legs while listening to her narration about the troubles in the imperial court as usual.
However, Mu Zheng was different this time. Although he was preoccupied, he didn't mention anything.
Zheng Ziyi waited for a long time, but Mu Zheng didn't say anything. Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore. "Your majesty, those servants have been gossiping for the past few days …"
"Oh, what are you talking about?" Mu Zheng closed his eyes and asked.
"Sigh, you're not talking about the rotten seeds of Chen Seshi, but you're talking about the Crown Prince. You're talking about …" Eh … Although His Highness the Crown Prince did not go to the military camp, he was secretly entangled with the female general. He even saw her sneaking into the palace a few days ago. " Zheng Ziyi seemed to be in a difficult position as she deliberately added fuel to the fire.
"It looks like the harem has been reorganized and reorganized. These servants are so bored that they are flustered. They must be thinking of getting beat up." With a displeased expression on his face, Mu Zheng changed his posture and straightened his body.
"Actually, I don't blame these servants. From chenqie's point of view, there is no wall in this world that doesn't leak wind. The wind will only come from the holes. " Zheng Ziyi saw that the Emperor didn't seem to care and instead chided the people of the palace, further provoking them.
Hearing Zheng Ziyi's words, Mu Zheng stopped rubbing his coral hands. He opened his eyes and began to study Zheng Ziyi as though he didn't know her.
"Why is Your Majesty looking at chenqie like that?" Zheng Ziyi shyly lowered her head, her eyes flowing with emotion.
Mu Zheng looked at Zheng Ziyi as she became more and more unfamiliar with her. First, she was absent from the palace in the middle of the night and was lying. Second, he realized that she had been talking bad about the crown prince all along, seemingly unintentional. What was the intention behind all of this?
Besides, today was the day Minister Wu went to impeach the crown prince. Why would Concubine Zheng say something against the crown prince? Could it be that there was some sort of collusion between them?
The Emperor had always been the most suspicious of them all, and now he was even more suspicious of what had happened.
Thinking of this, Mu Zheng no longer had the mood to stay. He stood up and walked towards the empress dowager's palace.
They had just arrived at the gates of the empress's Hall of Fengyi when they saw that it was bustling with noise and excitement inside. The empress dowager and empress dowager were all there, as if discussing something.
The consort, Leng Rumei, said, "Esteemed Empress, chenqie heard about it recently. There were actually people who saw the figures of people sneaking out of the palace at night and returning in the middle of the night. "
"Oh, is there such a thing?" The empress was skeptical.
"That's right. That day, chenqie had a headache and asked the maid to gather some dewdrops to serve as a medicinal catalyst. She saw this scene with her own eyes. This chenqie is worried that this matter will affect the peace of the imperial harem and the dignity of the imperial family, so she did not dare to act recklessly with the Empress, and could only come to ask the Empress for a decision. " Leng Rumei bowed.
"Could it be the maids?" the queen asked.
"If it were a maid, chenqie would have dealt with it herself long ago. However, this matter is all because of you. Although the person who left could not see in the dark, but I could vaguely see that it was a young master of high status …"
"Ah, such a thing actually happened. If the young master of the palace really goes out in the middle of the night, then he must be doing something shameful. The empress slapped the phoenix chair and flew into a rage.
When Mu Zheng heard about this from outside the door, he immediately thought about Zheng Ziyi's strange actions that day. Could it be that the one who went out was her? In the middle of the night, she sneaked out of the palace, and she still smelled so good, so she must be doing something shameful.
As Mu Zheng thought of this, his mood darkened. This Zheng Ziyi, he doted on her so much, but he couldn't imagine her actually daring to do such a thing. Mu Zheng felt that he had lost all his face, and couldn't let it go on. Otherwise, he would lose all face for the entire royal family.
Now, whether it was her or not, Mu Zheng could no longer tolerate this person by his side. Without waiting for them to finish, Mu Zheng turned and walked away.
"Esteemed Empress, just now the Emperor came by. He was just by the door for a while before returning." The Queen's personal maidservant said.
After the empress heard this, she exchanged a glance with Leng Rumei, but didn't say anything.
The next afternoon, Mu Zheng and Zheng Ziyi finished their dinner. He didn't expect that Zheng Ziyi would actually be careless. Not only did the meal contain more salt, the emperor would vomit whenever he ate it.
Moreover, he didn't know what was in the cinnamon cake he made, but after eating it, the emperor actually felt uncomfortable. At that moment, he demoted Zheng Ziyi to a small promise and moved to the remote Pear Garden.
Everything happened so suddenly that Zheng Ziyi couldn't understand what was going on. She could not imagine that the usually cautious little kitchen would make such a big mistake, making her come here overnight.
