Empress Dowager Li did not want to come to Ying Tai to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Zhu Yijun insisted, and Wang Rong called for Fangruo, "Why is Mother unwilling to come to Ying Tai?"

"Empress." Fangruo also specially went to ask around, "From the palace to the Ying Tai, you will have to take a palanquin to get out from the afternoon gate and then return from the afternoon gate. Your Majesty, the Empress and Empress Dowager Chen can all go through the main gate, but Empress Dowager Li can't go through it. That's why Empress Dowager Li has always hated leaving the palace. "

"Only Your Majesty can go to the gates. The empress's wedding can take place at the gates, and the top three rankings for each exam can take place at the gates. Besides that, no one else can enter the gates." Fangruo said.

Even though the Empress Dowager Chen was Prince Yu's side wife and was currently behind a great treasure, the Empress Dowager Chen's carriage had also entered through the main entrance. Thus, if she wanted to leave the palace, she could also enter through the afternoon gate. But the Empress Dowager Li was only a Imperial Noble Consort in the past, so even if she was promoted to the position of empress dowager, she still could not enter and leave through the afternoon gate.

As the foundation of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, aside from gaining power, he also gained power in the Empress Dowager Li in order to raise his status. Although the Empress Dowager Li was the emperor's mother, in the beginning, she had no choice but to bring the two empress dowager together to face the emperor. When the emperor and she were the empress, she and the emperor would sit together, while the Li Imperial Noble Consort could only stand. When it came to the fact that she was the empress and her own son had become the emperor, the Empress Dowager Chen and the emperor could only sit together.

How could Empress Dowager Li accept that?

The Empress Dowager Chen had no children, they were always quiet, and did not have anything to do with them. But Empress Dowager Rong also had the intention of competing with Empress Dowager Li. After all, in terms of status, Empress Dowager Li would always have to be under her. But how could Empress Dowager Li, who gave birth to the most children of the Former Emperor, be an easy target?

After raising his identity, he came to a consensus with Zhang Juzheng and the others, and in the end, decided to use the excuse of taking care of the Young Emperor as an excuse to move into the Qianqing Palace. How could he be a match for the Empress Dowager Li? In the end, he could only rely on his long illness and weak body, live in a peaceful palace, and not ask about political matters.

But at the time when Empress Dowager Li was at her best, she would be her concubine in one day, and the order of the dresses could not be disobeyed.

"Then I will speak to His Majesty again." Wang Rong He said that entering August was actually a bit cold. He said that he was here to take shelter from the heat and that it was time for him to return to the palace. Since they were going to return, why would they need to be so unyielding as to host a banquet at the Ying Tai?

There were originally palace maid on duty to guard Ying Tai, and a portion of them came here to support their families. However, there were still some people who had ambitions in their hearts, and wanted to climb up the ranks, as the Emperor's Ying Tai to avoid summer heat was great news. Those months of climbing up the ranks, they had done their best to display it in front of their masters, to build good relations with their master's palace maid.

They had initially said that the empress wanted to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival at the Ying Tai, but it seemed that because of the displeasure of the Empress Dowager Li s at the palace, it was about to be cancelled. The Ying Tai was like a mama, her heart raced, as if she had found an opportunity to soar into the sky.

Although she was wearing a loose robe, it was still hard to see through. Wang Rong and recently had been feeling sore at the waist, and her feet had started to swell, so she had someone make her comfortable slippers. In any case, no one knew about the slippers she was wearing, even though the dress was covering them.

In the Ying Tai, one would not use makeup for so long, but the skin was white and exquisite, and looking at it without makeup, it was also very beautiful. Wang Rong and Zhu Yijun continued to chat and laugh, "This baby might really be a little princess, a girl is my mother's intimate little cotton-padded jacket, she would care for my mother from the bottom of her stomach, if my mother is pregnant, she will look ugly instead."

"The reason why you look so good is because you're stained with dragon essence." Zhu Yijun said in all seriousness, "The reason why normal pregnant women don't look well is because they aren't wet."

Wang Rong and Lao Mei refused to speak to him.

Although His Majesty had not promised the Empress that he would be returning to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would be returning to the palace after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he had to gather his luggage as well. Fortunately, it was much easier to prepare to return to the palace than to leave it, and there were many things that he did not need to bring back.

Wulv came over and reported, "Empress, a mama from Ying Tai has come to see the Empress to report on an important matter."

"What is it?" Wang Rong asked.

"I don't know." Wulv said, "She said that she insisted on meeting the Empress before she said it, and repeatedly emphasized that it was a very important matter."

Wang Rong He thought for a moment and then said he would let her come over.

Even though she was called a mama, she appeared to be in her early thirties. She was dressed in palace attire, and was not old at all. There were traces of hard work on her face, as well as a vigorous ambition. Wang Rong and Wen Yan asked her, "Do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes." The mama knelt on the ground and didn't get up. "May esteemed empress please hold yourself back."

"What do you need me to do?" Wang Rong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the punishment for offending me?" Do you know that in your heart? "

"When the Empress heard the words of this servant, she knew that the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better." The mama stared at the stone slab in front of her and said, "The news that this servant has sent over is what the Empress needs the most right now."

"Why don't you tell me what is most urgent for me right now?" She was admiring the scenery in the pavilion, and other than Wulv, the palace maid in the pavilion was also a quick-witted palace maid that had been selected by the Ying Tai.

Wang Rong waved her hand to allow Wulv to bring them away. They did not walk too far, they were at a place a hundred metres away from the pavilion, where they could see the scenery inside.

"Go ahead." Wang Rong He said.

"Right now, the Empress Dowager is most anxious. The empress dowager is suppressing the empress at every turn. This servant has news that the empress can freely face the empress dowager." said Mammy.

Wang Rong He narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. Do you really think that I would believe that a Ying Tai palace maid who has never served the empress dowager and whose empress dowager has never come to the Ying Tai would know of the empress dowager's gossip? "

"You dare slander the empress dowager and commit a heinous crime, aren't you afraid?"

"empress is a kind person, ever since we entered the palace, the empress dowager has always been the first to enter. However, the empress dowager has always placed many restrictions on the empress. The mama said that Wang Rong He's reaction was within her expectations. How could he just tell the person they met for the first time to deal with his mama?

But the mama was sure that the empress was unhappy with the Empress Dowager Li.

"Although the empress dowager is now the empress dowager and has a noble status, she was once just a palace maid. How can a Imperial Noble Consort compare to the majesty of the empress when she enters the palace at noon?" The mama said, "The empress dowager doesn't like coming to Ying Tai's Mid-Autumn Festival. Isn't it because she's angry that she can't enter and leave through the main entrance that she's stingy?"

"You really dare to say that." Wang Rong He said, "Just based on what you said today, you won't be able to escape." I am a benevolent person, and I will not tolerate anyone who spouts nonsense and offends. "

"This servant truly cherishes the Empress Dowager's heart, but because I accidentally found out that the empress dowager was a Supreme Realm expert and disrespected her, my love for the empress dowager is even greater now." The mama said, "Even if Empress wants to punish this servant, this servant will definitely say it."

"You've already been keeping your mouth shut long enough." Wang Rong He said, "No matter how mysterious he is, he can't be lacking in this matter."

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, do you know that the empress dowager is unfaithful?" The mama said the last thing she said was to walk over to Wang Rong.

Wang Rong's eyes widened, "How did you know?"

I did not serve her in the Ying Tai from the very beginning. I was working on flowers and plants in the palace, and there was a fellow villager serving her in front of the empress dowager, hence she had always taken care of me. One day, she came to find me, looking uneasy and said that she would die, and I asked her what was wrong.

"Shut up, don't say anything." Wang Rong slapped the table and stood up.

The mama kept quiet, "Not long after this servant died from illness in the same village, this servant was very scared, so I found a mistake and was assigned to the Ying Tai. I had wanted to keep this news in my stomach. But since the empress has come, and has treated us remote palace maid with such care, this servant is grateful for Empress Dowager's kindness. I really can't bear for the Empress to be suppressed by the Empress Dowager, so I came to inform you. "

"Who else knows other than you?" Wang Rong He asked as he stared at her.

"Empress Dowager Li has already changed a group of people. Everyone who knows about him must have died on the road before returning to their hometown. This servant doesn't know if there are others in the palace like this servant who, due to fate, would find out about this news and bury it deep in her stomach. But in terms of Ying Tai, this servant should be the only one who knows. " Mammy looked up.

"Empress, don't worry about no one testifying." "Yes," Mammy said. Find a few palace maid s who are disguised as ghosts to call me back for my life, and then let out rumors. Empress Dowager Li naturally can only cultivate in Tzu An palace, and can't come out to suppress the Empress. "

"Empress." It was actually Gu Yanxi who had come over, and saw Wulv standing with her palace maid in a faraway place to watch. As for the Empress speaking to an unfamiliar palace maid in the pavilion, Gu Yanxi shouted unhappily. She saw Wang Rong She fall backwards, although she quickly supported herself on the stone table.

But Gu Yanxi, Wulv and the rest still came over quickly, "Empress?"

Wang Rong was grabbed by Gu Yanxi and Wulv, and whispered into Wulv's ears, "Stop her mouth, throw her into the lake."

Gu Yanxi also heard it and was inwardly shaken, but seeing that Wulv was about to step forward empty-handed, since the Empress wanted to gag him, it was natural that she did not want this person to say anything. Gu Yanxi took out his handkerchief and removed it from her waist, wrapping it around her as she walked forward with Wulv. When Wulv grabbed her shoulders, she immediately stuffed the handkerchief into her mouth, and then suppressed her from the left and right. She dragged her body into the water and threw her into it.

Wulv let go of her hands when she saw that they were underwater. She nervously swallowed her breath, her hands trembling, her chest jumping wildly, but she was not afraid, she was not sick, and was not present, the old lady had asked her to accompany Wuyou to the palace with the Empress. The old lady had already told them to follow the Empress to the palace, and they had to make sure that they were able to protect the Empress's blade, even if the Empress wanted them to kill people, they had to do it cleanly as well.

Although you do not wish for that day to come, you must do your best to realize this. No matter who the Empress trusts in the palace, only you two have followed the Empress since you were children. This friendship cannot be replaced by others, and if the Empress really wanted to do troublesome things, she would only be at ease in letting you do them. Everyone would betray the Empress, but the two of you would not.

Wulv clenched her fist tightly, she had done it! Although she was usually the youngest, and the Empress let her be, with her bright personality and loved to gossip, she had protected the Empress well without Wuyou here today.

Gu Yanxi became more cautious, she did not know if this person was able to find water, so she laid on the ground and stretched out her body to pinch the man under the water, causing water to splash out. Wulv immediately helped to hold him down, and when the movements under her hand lessened, the two of them worked together to pull the man up.

He felt his breath, his pulse, his heartbeat.

After determining that they were dead, the two of them sat paralyzed on the ground. Wulv raised her head and said to Wang Ronghe who was in the pavilion. "Empress, this person has already been executed."

Wang Rong He held his stomach as he felt a dull ache. He broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Good."

"Send the message to the imperial physician."
