1144. Chapter 1144 Interest

In the upper room of Yiyin Pavilion, Song Hongao came to see Zhao Yong after returning from Chengde Villa.

Zhao Yong stepped back from Liu Qiao'er, who was waiting next to him, and looked at Song Hongao with raised eyebrows, "Come back so soon?"

Song Hongao said, "Lu Yaoyao left the princess at the villa, so I had to come back first."

"The princess stayed at Chengde Villa?" Zhao Yong raised his eyebrows slightly. It seems that Lu Yaoyao and Zhao Ning were very familiar with each other.

"Yes, Lu Yaoyao seems to like the princess quite a lot." Song Hongao said, "Moreover, I also discovered one thing. Chengde Villa is as heavily guarded as the imperial palace. Lu Yaoyao doesn't seem to have fallen out of favor, but rather like Be protected there."

Zhao Yong smiled faintly, "Protecting a queen in Chengde Villa? What on earth did Mo Rongzhan think?"

"Probably because he didn't want Lu Yaoyao to be harmed." Song Hongao said in a low voice.

Hearing what Song Hongao said, Zhao Yong looked at him with a half-smile, "So, you have met Lu Yaoyao."

Song Hongao put away his surprise and smiled, "Lu Yaoyao summoned me, and I saw her."

"Being as beautiful as a fairy, overwhelming the country?" Zhao Yong asked with a smile.

"Yes." Song Hongao nodded gently, "I can hardly imagine anyone else in the Jin Kingdom's harem who can compare with her. It is impossible for Mo Rongzhan to abandon her to favor others."

Zhao Yong finally took a serious look at Song Hongao. This confidant had been with him for so many years and had never been interested in getting close to women. He had never been particularly concerned about any woman. The one who could make him say this was Lu Yao. Yao really impressed him so much, "It seems that Lu Yaoyao has fascinated you."

A trace of blush appeared on Song Hongao's handsome face, "I am also a man. I will naturally appreciate beauty more when I see it. I have no other thoughts in my heart."

"Hearing what you said, I want to see Lu Yaoyao more and more." What kind of woman can make even his love general, who is not a womanizer, fall in love with her.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to enter Chengde Villa." Song Hongao said, he didn't even bother to explain. Lu Yaoyao is indeed beautiful. As a man, there are probably not many men who will not be amazed when they see her. He is only amazed. That’s all.

Zhao Yong smiled lightly and said, "I want to see her, so I will naturally find a way."

Song Hongao knew this man very well, and he said cautiously, "Your Majesty, what can you do if you go to see Lu Yaoyao? She is the Queen of the Jin Kingdom. Mo Rongzhan seems to regard her as a treasure. You must not have anything." idea."

"I sent her out of the palace, favored other women, and now let other women get pregnant to compete with Lu Yaoyao for favor. Is this considered a treasure?" Zhao Yong scoffed.

Song Hongao said helplessly, "Your Majesty, don't you already have Liu Qiao'er?"

Zhao Yong smiled. He really liked Liu Qiao'er recently, "Let someone redeem Liu Qiao'er tomorrow and bring her back to Qi."

"..." Song Hongao was speechless for a while, "Your Majesty, do you want to bring Liu Qiao'er into the palace?"

"Why not?" Zhao Yong asked.

Song Hongao said, "Those ministers will not be able to calm down."

Zhao Yong laughed loudly. His joy in life was to watch a group of his courtiers go berserk.

…

…

It was a cool autumn morning, and Ye Zhen got up early with something on her mind.

Hong Ling helped her wash up, "Mother, it's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Ye Zhen looked at the sky outside and saw that it had just dawned. She asked in a low voice, "Is Wu Chong back?"

"He's back. Do you want to see him?" Hong Ling asked.

"Go and ask him to come over." Ye Zhen was anxious to know what happened in the palace. Since Wu Chong was back, he should have already found out.

Hongling went to call Wu Chong over, but Ye Zhen was already waiting in the teahouse.

"Empress, I didn't find out... The emperor said that he would come to see you in two days and then tell you about it in person." Wu Chong returned to the villa late at night. Because the empress had already rested, he I didn't go to Daohuayuan to ask for an audience.

Mo Rongzhan wants to come and tell her in person? Doesn't he think she is jealous again? From the time it was reported that Hu Yue'er was pregnant until now, she didn't believe it was true. She was only worried that Mo Rongzhan would be in danger in the palace.

If someone has been able to infiltrate the palace and poison Hu Yue'er, would even Mo Rongzhan be in danger? Ye Zhen felt a sense of fear in her heart when she thought of this.

"Do you know how Concubine Shu is doing now?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.

Wu Chong said, "Back to the empress, Concubine Shu is currently recuperating in Xiuhe Palace. The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb her."

Ye Zhen sighed in her heart. In this way, Murong Zhan has brought the situation in Kyoto under control. Everyone believes that Hu Yue'er is pregnant, so will the person who originally wanted to poison her look for an opportunity to do it? ?

Concubine Shu's poisoning should be related to Mo Rongzhan's dealings with the clan.

"You go down." Ye Zhen asked Wu Chong to retreat. It seemed that only when Mo Rongzhan came could he know all the truth.

Wu Chong responded in a low voice, bowed his head and retreated.

Ye Zhen sat in her original position and meditated, her expression looking a bit serious.

Hong Ling thought she was worried about things in the palace, so she comforted her in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you heard it too. The Emperor will come to the villa. I'm afraid that Concubine Shu's happiness is not like what is said outside."

"I know." Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "Go and see if Zhao Ning is awake."

"Empress, why did you let Zhao Ning stay in the villa?" Hongying asked with some confusion. She still remembered that when she was in Huajia Village, Zhao Ning pretended to be rude to the Empress, although she later saved the Empress. , who knows she will do other things for profit in the future.

Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Zhao Ning actually has a good heart. Since she intends to show kindness and she is the princess of Qi, I should make more friends."

She was so wary of Zhao Ning entirely because of her previous dream. Putting aside that dream, she didn't actually hate Zhao Ning, but was grateful to her for saving Mo Rongzhan.

After a while, Zhao Ning came with Hong Ling.

"Queen." Zhao Ning bowed and looked at Ye Zhen with a smile.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile, gesturing for her to sit down, "Have you gone to the hot spring pool to play?"

Zhao Ning nodded vigorously, "Yes, I slept really well last night. It seems that all the fatigue is gone."

"This villa is very big. I asked Hongying to take you around today. Although I really want to accompany you, it is difficult for me to move now." Ye Zhen looked regretful. She hadn't practiced archery for a long time. She really wanted to Go for a horse race in the mountains.

"Your Majesty's body is more important. I feel good that I can accompany you in the villa." Zhao Ning said with a smile.

Ye Zhen chuckled and shook her head, "Then go out for a walk with me and grow some medicinal herbs."

Zhao Ning said yes immediately.
