"Chenqie orders." The empress bowed and watched the emperor leave.
Only after watching the emperor leave did Yuchi Min let out a sigh of relief and collapsed.
"Quick, send her back to her bed." The Queen quickly instructed the others.
"Su mama, go pass down my orders. Have the Internal Affairs Bureau immediately pick out a few maids who can handle matters cleanly to take care of Miss Yuchi." "You must pick the best ones. If you really can't do it, then call those maidservants of mine who are too used to serving in my palace over." The Queen sat down and instructed in front of Yuchi Min.
She then walked in front of the imperial physicians and personally urged them on, "As for the treatment, I'll have to trouble the imperial physicians to take care of it."
"As you command." Several imperial physicians kowtowed.
The Empress instructed a few more things before turning her head to Yuchi Min and smiling lovingly, "Good child, from now on treat this as your home and take good care of your illness." If any of these servants ever dare to make a mistake, the first thing you need to do is tell them, and I will not forgive them. "
"Thank you, esteemed empress." Yuchi was very sensitive as he spoke.
"Alright, I won't disturb your rest any longer. Take care of your illness, I'll come see you in two days." The empress personally tucked Yuchi Min in. Only then did she leave Mu Zhuo behind and left.
"Why did the Empress take so much interest in this Yuchi Miss just now?" Su mama asked in confusion. He was actually so generous as to ask for a maidservant from his own palace to attend to his.
"The crown prince was snitched on just now and almost angered the emperor. If it wasn't for Lady Yuchi's righteous words and help, the crown prince might have been injured by the other princes." The empress said gratefully.
"This girl is forcing herself to speak up for the crown prince even though she's suffering. It means that she has some interest in the crown prince." I heard that Miss Yuchi hasn't left the pavilion yet. This time, General Yuchi has asked her to stay in the capital because he wants her to find a good husband. " Su mama smiled.
"Right now, General Yuchi holds the most authority in the borders and is also a victorious general. He has quite a bit of prestige. If the crown prince has his support, then ascending to the throne will be just around the corner." As it turned out, the moment the empress saw the emperor was worried about Yuchi Min, she had come up with a plan.
"This woman looks very pretty, her family background is good, and she has feelings for the crown prince. This is a blessing from the heavens." When Su mama heard the empress's words, he also echoed his sentiments.
The empress covered her mouth and laughed softly.
The two of them walked a few steps past Zheng Ziyi's Zi Yuxuan. The empress coughed and cleared her throat purposefully. "Aiya, these are some evil and wicked people with ulterior motives. They wanted to frame my son. "What a pity, I failed to steal the chicken but instead ended up lifting a rock to smash my own feet. Thinking about it, it really makes me happy."
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince is the future Son of Heaven, how could these evil monsters be able to attack him?" Su mama raised his voice and said in a shrill voice.
Zheng Ziyi sat in the small courtyard and clearly heard these words.
"Hmph, these two people are obviously saying these words for me!" Zheng Ziyi waited for them to leave before flipping the items on the table in anger.
This was because even though this matter wasn't done by Zheng Ziyi, it was done by Mu Lingfeng. This empress knew that Zheng Ziyi and Mu Lingfeng were on the same side, so she purposely said these words to anger her.
"Empress, don't be angry. You must think for the sake of this prince, and definitely not be angry because of them." "It's actually falling into their trap." Lulu hurriedly knelt down and consoled Zheng Ziyi.
This Lu Luo had always been Zheng Ziyi's trusted aide. Previously, when Zheng Ziyi had been demoted to a different courtyard, Lu Luo had also been given a private room to wash clothes. Afterwards, Zheng Ziyi was once again favored by her, so he picked her up and brought her back.
"That's right, these two people have vicious thoughts. They are purposely angering me." Zheng Ziyi sat down with one hand on her waist. She was no longer as angry as she was just now. As expected, Lulu was a smart person, she knew how to pacify her.
"That's right, the Empress has the dragon embryo and is doted upon deeply by the Emperor. They are jealous of the Empress and hope even more that the little prince will not be able to protect her, so they put in great efforts to anger the Empress." The green loli carried a bowl of soup over and gently rubbed Zheng Ziyi's shoulder.
Zheng Ziyi let out a breath and was about to drink the ginseng soup when she suddenly stopped and asked: "Did you carefully examine the ginseng soup?"
"Empress, don't worry. The soup was prepared in accordance with the Crown Prince's instructions. The maidservant kept a close eye on the medicine and then cooked it herself. She definitely hasn't had any experience with it. Empress, don't worry."
When Zheng Ziyi heard Lulu's words, she calmed down and finished the soup in one gulp: "In the past half year of being pregnant, I've been out of everyone's control, secretly playing tricks, you have to be more careful."
"Don't worry, esteemed wangfei, this servant is keeping an eye on him." Look at the tonic medicine that was delivered by the concubines, the scented sachet that was used to protect the safety of the evil zone, and the red coral that was sent over by the empress a few days ago. Whether or not there's a problem, let's not get involved. "
"Yes, that is the best thing to do. You see, when she was just pregnant, she was cold as a plum, trying to betray the Empress Dowager, trying to curry favor with me, but she had no idea that there was a red musk bead on her body, which made me smell it. Even though I didn't believe her back then, I didn't think that she was up to this trick. " Zheng Ziyi thought of this matter and gnashed her teeth in hatred. She wished she could eat the flesh and drink the blood.
"That's right, this Mei Fei looked cold and aloof, standing apart from the rest. I never expected her to be so sinister." "It's a pity that we didn't discover anything afterwards. Otherwise, the Emperor would have long since punished her!" The green loli said bitterly.
Lu Luo was a servant sent by Mu Lingfeng to take care of Zheng Ziyi, and she was completely loyal to Mu Lingfeng. Knowing that the child in her womb belonged to Mu Lingfeng, she couldn't help but feel extreme resentment at the thought of the child being almost killed.
The empress didn't go too far, but rather not too far away. She wanted to see Zheng Ziyi make a joke of herself and overturn the things inside. She landed on the ground with a thud. It was as if she had heard the horn for victory. She was enjoying herself to her heart's content.
It was a pity that the voice was gone after a while. The empress left in disappointment.
After the Queen left, only Mu Zhuoyun was left in the room. He gently wiped off the cold sweat on Zheng Ziyi's forehead and said with incomparable guilt: "How could you be so stupid? I clearly hurt you, why are you still lying to justify me?"
Seeing Mu Zhuo's reaction, Yuchi Min pursed her lips and shook her head with difficulty. "His Highness the Crown Prince is a good person. This is a competition that I proposed to take part in. Accidental injuries are inevitable in this competition. How can I blame you?" Yuchi Min said magnanimously.
"Besides, the Crown Prince is very good to me. He is very gentle and acts like an elder brother to me. How can I let you be punished for me?" Yuchi Min looked into Mu Zhuoyun's eyes and said softly.
"Yeah, you're that innocent. You've been like my sister, Liu Li, who likes to stick close to me ever since you were young." Mu Zhuoyun sighed in heartfelt admiration. It was for this reason that he had treated Yuchi Min so well.
Hearing her words, Yuchi Min stubbornly shook her head. "I don't want to be your sister."
"Oh? "Then what are you going to do?" Mu Zhuo asked tenderly.
Yuchi Min looked at Mu Zhuo's straight nose, handsome face, and gentle smile. She could not help but want to say the good impression she had towards him.
"I want to be with you." Yuchi Min said shyly. Having grown up on the border, she had developed a frank personality. She didn't want to hide her love and hate, but she did.
"You mean friends, right? Silly girl, we will be friends. "Alright, you've said too much today. It's time to rest." Mu Zhuo rubbed Yuchi Min's head before standing up.
"I didn't mean that..." Yuchi Min muttered softly, but Mu Zhuoyun had already walked out.
"Well, one day I'll ask her if she likes me." Yuchi Min laughed slyly.
"Someone, summon the third prince." When Mu Zheng came back, he immediately called for Mu Lingfeng.
Earlier, he had sent someone over in a hurry, saying that the fight between Mu Zhuoyun and General Yuchi's daughter had resulted in her being seriously injured and in imminent danger. Surprised, Mu Zheng hurried forward. It turned out to be a misunderstanding. He had even slapped Mu Zhuoyun's face.
"Father, what's the matter?" Mu Lingfeng knelt down nervously. He had already heard about what happened earlier. He originally wanted to make use of this matter to make the Emperor angry and punish Mu Zhuoyun. Who would have thought that Yuchi Min would stand up for Mu Zhuzhe at such a crucial moment? This time, he was instead charged with framing his imperial brother.
"Did you get someone to tell him that the crown prince hurt someone?" Mu Zheng asked coldly.
"Not at all. I just heard that something happened at the side of the enclosure. I heard that my royal brother was there too, so I hurried over while others came to report the situation." "It's not like Brother Huang hurt anyone." Mu Lingfeng pretended to be surprised as he quickly pushed the blame onto the guards.
"Men, bring the imperial bodyguards who reported the news here." Mu Zheng ordered.
The guard walked up and stared at Mu Lingfeng. Although Mu Lingfeng lowered his head, he gave the guard a warning look with a slanted eye.
"Tell me the truth. How did the Third Prince get you to report?" Mu Zheng asked.
When the guard heard this, he glanced at Mu Lingfeng. Upon seeing the vicious gaze, he did not dare to meet Mu Lingfeng's gaze and immediately knelt down.
Just now, when the emperor was visiting, Mu Lingfeng already knew about Yuchi Min's explanation, so he made the arrangements to take the blame. The lives of forty-eight or so guards were in his hands, and he had no choice but to obey.
"Your majesty, just now the Third Prince heard that something was up, so he told his subordinate to hurry over and report." At that time, his subordinate was there and he only saw the crown prince and the general's daughter practicing their swordsmanship. He thought that the crown prince had accidentally hurt her, so he misjudged her and sent the wrong message. Please spare my life, Your Majesty. " The guard kowtowed heavily on the ground.
"To think that he misunderstood us and lied to us. This crime cannot be forgiven, drag him down and execute him." Mu Zheng's expression did not change. He spoke in a low and fierce voice.
"Your majesty, please spare me! Your majesty, spare me!" The guard screamed and was pulled down.
"Get up." Mu Zheng glanced at Mu Lingfeng. He knew that this matter must be related to him. He must have deliberately added the words for the middle-aged man to recognize Mu Zhuoyun when the guard passed on the message. But now there was no evidence, and he didn't care.
"You want to deal with things calmly, calmly, and deeply. I just hope that you can use it on proper business. "Think about it."
Mu Zheng had yet to finish his sentence, but it caused Mu Lingfeng to tremble in fear. It was obvious that Mu Zheng's words were suspicious of him.
Indeed, Mu Lingfeng did not consider this matter to be worth it. He was too impulsive, and his wits had been turned against his own. Not only did he not injure Mu Zhuzhe, he had actually provoked suspicion. He had truly lifted a rock and smashed it against his own foot.
