1428. Chapter 1428 Forbearance
When Ye Zhen heard Murong Yi talk about what happened, she was already suspicious. Murong Zhan told her that Murong Ke had been in South Vietnam for two years and had uprooted several entrenched gentry. Some merchants rose up, all with the support of the imperial court, who else can reach out to the palace? From the fact that the two women came to the capital and finally died and the other lived, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a problem.
With just one merchant, she didn't believe it was possible to do this. Rescuing Yindong from the hidden guards, and another woman died so coincidentally. If it wasn't for the people in the palace, who would know Murongyi so well? Arrangement, this matter is clearly aimed at him and Zhao Ning.
However, these doubts just emerged in Ye Zhen's heart, she didn't say it out, if there is really a problem in the palace, it is likely that someone close to Murongyi was bribed, so she will not startle the snake, but investigate it first.
"Queen's sister-in-law, I've sent someone to go to South Vietnam, and that person surnamed Sun won't dare to play tricks anymore." Murong Yi said to Ye Zhen as if asking for credit.
Ye Zhen looked at Murong Yi and shook her head gently, but she knew that although Murong Zhan had been training him for the past few years, he was too well protected before, he was kind and simple, and would not think too much about dark things, so It is normal to not suspect that the people around you have problems.
"Then did you tell Zhao Ning about this?" Ye Zhen asked lightly.
"I said it." Murong Yi sighed, "But she still refuses to forgive me."
Murong Zhan said with a sullen face, "Who did you turn to to find out the truth? If the man surnamed Sun is so easy to deal with, he still has the ability to rescue those two women from your men?"
"Brother Huang, what do you mean... is there someone else behind the scenes?" Murong Yi was asked by Murong Zhan, and his mind was enlightened, as if... the matter was a little too simple .
"I won't talk about it today." Ye Zhen glanced at him, "We just came back, and we don't fully understand it yet. Let's talk about it in a few days."
Murongyi's expression was still a little heavy, "Queen's sister-in-law, can you help me persuade Ah Ning, okay?"
"How to persuade?" Ye Zhen asked him back, "When you rolled to South Vietnam, why didn't you think that today would happen?"
"Queen's sister-in-law..." Murongyi looked at her pitifully.
After all, Ye Zhen was soft-hearted towards him, "Let's talk about it after seeing Zhao Ning."
With the words of the queen's sister-in-law, Murong Yi felt that he had a better chance of keeping Zhao Ning, "Queen's sister-in-law, then I will count on you."
"Mingxi, Mingyu, come here to see your little uncle." Ye Zhen said to the two children.
Murongyi finally noticed that there were two little ones in the hall, he looked at Mingxi and Mingyu in surprise, then at Murongzhan and the others, "As expected of his own, he really looks like the emperor's brother and the queen's sister-in-law, When Lu Xiangzhi told me, I still didn't believe it."
"Little Uncle Huang." Ming Xi and Ming Yu stepped forward to salute Murong Yi.
Looking at the two exquisite children, Murong Yi couldn't help liking him, "Little Huang Shu didn't bring a meeting gift today, and I will make it up for you when we meet next time."
"You look just like your father." Mingyu tilted her head, thinking that this little uncle looks very much like her father, "but not as powerful as my father..."
Murong Yi does look a bit like Murong Zhan, but... "How do you know I'm not good?"
Mingyu said seriously, "I can tell."
"Children are honest." Ye Zhen sighed beside her.
"Queen's sister-in-law, you can't step on me like that." Murongyi cried out aggrievedly, although he is not as good as the emperor's brother, but don't say it so bluntly.
Ye Zhen laughed softly, "Okay, it's almost time for dinner, you stay to eat, and tomorrow I will send someone to pick up Zhao Ning into the palace."
When Murong Yi heard this, he nodded vigorously with joy on his face.
The Yongshou Palace, which had been silent for a long time, began to be full of laughter. Although the laughter here was not loud, it still spread little by little, and spread to all parts of the palace.
"My lord, the empress is back, shall we go to pay her respects tomorrow?" In a certain part of the palace, several concubines sat together. They already knew that the master of Yongshou Palace had returned. Although they were all happy on the surface, But in fact, it is really difficult for them to be called happy in their hearts.
An Guiren shook his head lightly, "Your Majesty won't want to see us, and you don't even think about having a chance to serve the emperor in this lifetime, it would be nice to live well in the palace."
"Have you heard? The Empress died in Chengde Villa..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. An stopped her, "Do you want to be like that person in the cold palace, if you say something, you think it will not reach the empress's ears?"
Everyone thought of the concubine Xian who had been favored in the palace, and their faces turned pale with fright, thinking that Hu Yue'er could replace the empress, who would have thought that her end would be so miserable.
Who else in this world can rival the empress?
"Let's all go back. If the queen wants to see us, she will summon us." An Guiren said, she had expected it before, and she was unwilling to do so. Now... she dare not think about anything, she is going to see it with her own eyes Hu Yue'er's fate was truly worse than death.
...

"Master, it's time to take medicine." Luo Cheng walked into the room carrying a bowl of steaming medicine. The temperature in the room was extremely high, but the person lying on the bed was still wrapped in a thick fur.
"Has Murong Yi returned to the palace?" Lu Lingzhi took the medicine and drank it one gulp at a time. The bitterness of the medicine was hard to drink, but he had already gotten used to it. In winter, he drank it almost every day.
Luo Cheng nodded lightly, "Yes, but Zhao Ning didn't come back."
Lu Lingzhi finished drinking the medicine silently, and put it on the low table next to him, "I can't go out for two days, is something happening?"
"No." Luo Cheng replied quickly, not wanting that Lu Lingzhi would have to worry too much at this time, otherwise the disease would be even more difficult to heal.
"Lu Yaoyao is back." Lu Lingzhi glanced at Luo Cheng and guessed the answer easily.
Luo Cheng said helplessly, "Master, even if she comes back, don't rush to get up, first recover from illness."
"It's good to be back." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice.
"Master..." Luo Cheng looked at him worriedly.
Lu Lingzhi closed his eyes, and suppressed the impulsiveness and irritability in his heart, "Don't do other things in the capital recently, Lu Yaoyao and Mo Rongzhan will investigate the affairs of those two women."
He was able to deceive Murong Yi and his wife, but Murong Zhan and Ye Zhen would not believe it so easily.
For the future...
He should continue to endure it.
