C132 Her Majesty Made Her Move

Feng Qingyun sent Feng Qingying to the Division of Punishments's entrance. She didn't know how long Xiao Chengyan would keep him locked up for, and her tone contained some self-blame, "It's all my fault for being useless and allowing you to suffer. Xiao Ying, don't worry, I will definitely plead with the emperor again."

"Big Sis, don't go. The emperor just wants to teach me a lesson. He won't do anything to me. After a few days, he'll naturally let me go."

Feng Qingyun knew that what Feng Qingying said was very true. She was Xiao Feimo's wangfei, and Xiao Chengyan would definitely not punish her severely in public nor take her life. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to Xiao Feimo.

Now, Xiao Chengyan still had to rely on Xiao Feimo.

"Xiao Ying, why don't you write a letter to your highness."

Feng Qingying rejected him without even thinking, "There's no need, the Duke has too many things to do, I don't know what the situation is like yet, I don't want him to worry, I can settle this myself."

"Then you have to be careful."

Division of Punishments had already been urged again, Feng Qingyun exhorted a few more times, and then watched Feng Qingying enter Division of Punishments with his eyes.

Yongan Palace

Empress Dowager Zhu sat on the main seat, while Xiao Chengyan sat on the lower right corner of her seat in silence.

Empress Dowager Zhu's expression was also somewhat ugly. Gui Fang knelt on the ground and thumped her legs, Empress Dowager Zhu rubbed his temples, "A good birthday is going to be messed up like this, my son, how do you plan on dealing with Prince Regent's Consort."

"What does Imperial Mother think?"

Prince Regent's Consort has always been arrogant. It's time to teach him a lesson." Empress Dowager Zhu pondered for a moment, and then said, "However, teaching her a lesson is not our fault, she has a deep grudge with Yang Family, and giving this opportunity to Yang Family, if anything really happens, Xiao Feimo can't blame us.

"Since muhou has a plan, we'll leave it to muhou."

In front of Empress Dowager Zhu, Xiao Chengyan was extremely respectful.

"My son …" Empress Dowager Zhu called out, as though he had not thought of what to say next, he paused for a moment before continuing, "You are already grown up, it's not surprising that you like women, but you have to remember, you are the emperor, the imperial harem does not only promise one woman every month, you have to get soaked in both rain and rain to be able to live harmoniously, you can't be emotional for the emperor, you can't get lost in those feelings of love."

"I will remember mother's teachings. It's getting late. If mother has nothing else, I will return first. Mother, rest early."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Chengyan stood up and said his goodbyes.

The Empress Dowager Zhu saw that Xiao Chengyan was distracted, so he knew it was useless to say anything more. He did not say anything else and only nodded.

After Xiao Chengyan left, Empress Dowager Zhu glanced at Gui Fang.

Gui Fang had been by Empress Dowager Zhu's side for many years, so he naturally understood Empress Dowager Zhu's intentions.

Empress Dowager Zhu felt a headache coming on as he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. A palace maid at the side hurried over to massage her temples.

After a short while, Gui Fang returned and reported respectfully, "Reporting to the empress dowager, the emperor has just gone to the Blessed Paradise."

Hearing that Xiao Chengyan had gone to the Eternal Fortune Palace again, Empress Dowager Zhu's expression became even more unsightly, he waved his hand, signalling the palace maid who was massaging her temples to leave.

Gui Fang knew that the Empress Dowager Zhu was angry, so he did not dare say too much and quietly waited at the side for her orders.

"I wonder what sort of method this woman used to have the emperor pay so much attention to her." In her eyes, Yue Lanyi was originally an indiscreet woman. If it wasn't for the fact that she had the dragon embryo, she would have already dealt with Yue Lanyi.

"Calm your anger, empress dowager. The emperor has just experienced love, so it's hard to avoid being considerate. When there's more people in the imperial harem, the emperor naturally wouldn't be so infatuated with her that he'd agree."

This girl is too scheming. If This Dowager doesn't let her suffer a bit, she would have thought that she had already firmly grasped the Emperor and would disrupt the balance in the harem. Gui Fang, go with This Dowager tomorrow to the Blessed everlasting Palace.

"Yu Jin is incompetent and Yuzhi is not much better. Even This Dowager has a headache from looking at her behavior, much less the Emperor."

The Zhu Family only had three girls in total, Yu Jin was already crippled, and his niece was only 11 years old.

She had wanted to take care of her own family, but her mother's family was such a loser.

The Imperial Consort Zhu Empress has a rather straightforward personality. Fortunately, she dotes on people and also knows how to respect the empress dowager. Ever since she entered the palace, she hasn't missed a day.

Hearing these words, Empress Dowager Zhu's expression eased a little. Zhu Yuzhi's mouth was indeed sweet and filial.

"filial piety is of no use to This Dowager. The main thing is to obtain the Sacred Heart and give birth to the next heir as soon as possible. This is her main purpose for entering the palace."

Gui Fang couldn't say too much about the Imperial Consort Zhu, so he changed the topic. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, the wangfei's side …"

"Feng Qingying has never put This Dowager in his eyes, she has always rebuked This Dowager, and previously, with Xiao Feimo here, This Dowager would not be able to catch her wrongdoings, and taking advantage of this opportunity, This Dowager will definitely teach her a lesson, lest I think that I can overturn the heavens in the capital."

Mentioning Feng Qingying, Empress Dowager Zhu's tone was filled with disgust.

"This servant will go to the Division of Punishments for a call tomorrow."

"Imperial Consort Yang is right here in the palace, Yang Family will not miss this rare opportunity, so you can instruct the people from Division of Punishments to turn a blind eye to Imperial Consort Yang, and when necessary, work harder in the dark."

"This servant understands."

Gui Fang respectfully replied.

"This Dowager is tired, help This Dowager to rest!"

After tormenting himself for an entire day, Empress Dowager Zhu was already tired.

On the second day, while Xiao Chengyan was in the imperial court, the Empress Dowager Zhu led him to the Blessed Buddha Palace.

Logically speaking, Yue Lanyi did not have the qualifications to live alone in a palace, but Xiao Chengyan doted on her very much.

After Zhu Ling was dealt with, Xiao Chengyan personally picked a palace maid called Liu Yan to serve him.

Seeing the Empress Dowager Zhu enter, Liu Yan anxiously ran in and reported to Yue Lanyi.

Liu Yan was about to help Yue Lanyi up when Empress Dowager Zhu had already entered the room. Yue Lanyi knelt down with Liu Yan and saluted.

The Empress Dowager Zhu sat at the main seat, and didn't call Yue Lanyi to stand up, as he carried the tea passed to him by the palace maid, and slowly sipped.

"The Emperor really does love and cherish the moon. Only This Dowager had the best Jadeite Spring."

Empress Dowager Zhu put down the teacup in his hand.

Yue Lanyi fearfully kowtowed like a frightened little bird. "Your Majesty dotes on me, your concubine bears a debt of guilt."

"So even if I agreed, I still knew that I wouldn't be able to take it. You are already a sinner, and to have you serve the emperor is already a blessing in disguise. I didn't expect you to be so pampered that you can't even protect your dragon embryo."
