1434. Chapter 1434 Complicated

Zhao Lan left Zhao Rong's palace with tears in her eyes, and ran for a short distance. The tears on her face stopped, and she looked back with complicated and sour emotions in her eyes. Standing together, the first person they see will only be Zhao Rao.

Even when she deliberately shed tears in front of Cheng Zheng just now, he didn't take a second look.

"Third Princess, Your Majesty is waiting for you." The palace maid reminded her in a low voice beside her.

Zhao Lan looked back and walked towards Concubine De's palace.

Concubine De knew that her daughter was going to enter the palace today, so she personally cooked and prepared a lot of Zhao Lan's favorite snacks early in the morning. She waited in the bedroom for a long time and didn't see anyone. Why haven't I seen anyone for a long time.

"Mother Concubine." Zhao Lan's slender figure appeared by the door, and a soft smile appeared on her gentle face.

"Lan'er, why did you come here now, but what happened on the way?" Concubine De asked hurriedly. She loved her two children with all her heart. She still couldn't let it go.

Zhao Lan bowed, sat down beside Concubine De, and cuddled on Concubine De's shoulder coquettishly, "I met Zhao Rao on the road, and said a few words to her."

Concubine De was shocked when she heard this, she held her daughter's shoulders and looked at her, "What did she do to you? Didn't she tell you to stay away from her? She has exactly the same temperament as the former empress, and she is not easy to get along with. We would rather hide Don't provoke her, either."

"Mother Concubine, you only tolerated her for so many years because of the former queen. According to your seniority, you are still her mother concubine. When will she put you in the eyes..." Zhao Lan complained in a low voice, "I'm sick Does it have nothing to do with her for so many years?"

"I used to be the queen's servant, so it's normal for her to look down on me." Concubine De said in a low voice, "After all, you have already married out of the palace, and the son-in-law loves you, as long as you live comfortably in the princess mansion, she So what can I do, the emperor will not protect her forever."

Zhao Lan's eyes were gloomy, "Even if the queen father can't protect her, the Marquis of Anning will protect her."

Concubine De shook her head lightly, "Cheng Zheng...he and the former empress are not biological siblings, and the former empress did not treat him well. How could he treat Zhao Rao as his niece?"

"When I came, I saw Marquis Anning looking for Zhao Rao." Zhao Lan said.

"How come..." Concubine De was stunned for a while, when did Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng get so close.

Zhao Lan looked at Concubine De, "Mother Concubine, the son-in-law said that the Marquis of Anning seems to be investigating what happened in the past recently, I'm afraid he was bought by Zhao Rao."

"Don't think wildly, Marquis An Ning won't easily believe Zhao Rao." Concubine De clenched the silk handkerchief tightly with both hands.

"Mother, have you met Emperor Father?" Zhao Lan asked in a low voice.

Concubine De's eyes flashed, "Your royal father has been busy since he came back, I haven't seen him, what's wrong?"

"The son-in-law said that the emperor's complexion looks much better than before." Zhao Lan lowered his voice, and said in a volume that only the mother and daughter could hear, "The emperor's body has improved, as the emperor's son-in-law said. That's right, the imperial concubine of the Yuan Kingdom's medical skills are indeed astonishing, Duanmuxiu failed to cure the emperor's illness, but she cured the emperor's illness."

"Really?" Concubine De raised her head in surprise. She didn't want Zhao Yongying to die young, but, over the years, she had already gotten used to the days without the emperor's favor. She is sad to learn that Zhao Yong is seriously ill and cannot be cured, but apart from worrying, she hopes that her son will become the king of a country in the future.

For her son, she has done a lot of things by any means.

If Zhao Yong recovers from his illness... Concubine De's face turns pale, she knows Zhao Yong too well, what he dislikes the most is women in the harem stretching their hands to the front court.

"If the father's illness is cured, no matter if it is the first prince or the second brother, it will not be easy for him to become the crown prince." Zhao Lan said.

"Now it's just a guess, don't think too much." Concubine De comforted her daughter, but she was actually comforting herself. They all knew that only when the second prince became the new king of Qi would they have a good life in the future, otherwise, Neither Zhao Rao nor the eldest prince will let them go.

Zhao Lan knew that what she said today scared Concubine De, she sighed in her heart, if she was not afraid that Concubine De would not know what was going on outside, she would not have come into the palace to remind her today, but now she was scared, "Mother Concubine , I heard that Concubine Lu Gui disappeared in the Yuan Kingdom, is there any news?"

Concubine De shook her head, her gentle expression made it impossible to see any gloating, "I heard that she was taken away by a kidnapper, and the emperor sent someone to look for her, but there is no news yet."

Then Lu Shuang'er had better not come back again, she knows too many things, whether it is being taken away by a kidnapper, or for other reasons, Concubine De is happy to see the success, Lu Shuang'er staying in the palace will only be oppressed by her forever on the head.

"I really don't know what happened in the Yuan Kingdom." Zhao Lan said, "Mother Concubine, I should go back, wait for the second brother to greet you, please persuade him, don't make the father angry at this time, I always feel… a little uneasy."

As if something was going to happen, she was very worried that the second brother would be implicated.

Concubine De nodded lightly, "I know."

After watching her daughter leave, Concubine De walked to the small Buddhist hall behind the palace. She twisted the beads in her hand and muttered, "Guanshiyin Bodhisattva blesses me, my son is wise and intelligent, and he is a rare monarch. Let the believer girl bear the retribution alone, don't implicate the two children..."

On the other side, Cheng Zheng finally left under Zhao Rao's anger. However, he did not leave the harem immediately, but waited not far from Yeting, until a palace official quietly came to his side and spoke to him in a low voice. He said, "Master Hou, the child's identity has been confirmed..."

"Where's the person?" Cheng Zheng's eyes were cold, and the murderous aura that had dominated the battlefield for many years suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The palace man's voice trembled a little, "Go back to Lord Marquis, already...already protected."

Cheng Zheng nodded lightly. Now that everything was confirmed, it was time for him to present the truth to Zhao Yong.

He just felt sorry for Zhao Rao more and more.

If he had known that he would be so tempted by her today, he should have protected her by his side earlier.

Thinking of the death of the former empress, Cheng Zheng clenched his fists.

He mistook Baiyanlang for a good person.

"Master Hou, the emperor just took some medicine and is resting. Why don't you talk about it later." Song Aoran stopped Cheng Zheng outside the imperial study.

"Okay." Cheng Zheng looked at the sky, it was still early, he could wait, but the emperor should also raise his spirits, so that he would know what to do in a while.
