1453. Chapter 1453 Concerns

The sudden death of Concubine De of the State of Qi was just a hasty burial with an imperial decree. Even the funeral was so simple that one couldn't help but think about it. Although the emperor is a romantic person and there are countless women in the harem, Concubine De is different after all. There are not many women who stay by the emperor's side for a long time, Concubine De is one of them, even if the Emperor doesn't like Concubine De, she still has two children, not to mention the third princess who married the son of Zhong Bohou, and the second prince.

It's no secret that the first prince and the second prince are fighting openly and secretly. If the emperor treats Concubine De like this, does it mean that the second prince can't become a prince? Otherwise, why would you embarrass the second prince like this? If you intend to establish a second prince, then you should lift Concubine De.

However, no matter what other people thought, they still couldn't find out a word of what they wanted to inquire about. The only thing that made them suspicious was that the eldest princess didn't live in the palace after Concubine De's sudden death, and lived directly in Cheng's house.

Hearing that Marquis An Ning was protecting her, the emperor didn't say anything, and let the eldest princess live outside.

However, today Zhao Yong was furious in the imperial study, if Song Hongao and Duanmuxiu hadn't been around to persuade him, his anger would have erupted.

"I'm going to kill that brat Murongyi!" Zhao Yong cursed through gritted teeth, and slammed the secret letter in his hand on the table.

Song Hongao looked down at his toes, Murong Yi was Murong Zhan's younger brother, if he could be killed so easily, the emperor would have killed him a few years ago.

"I'm going to Jin Kingdom!" Zhao Yong said.

"Your Majesty..." Duanmuxiu immediately raised his head, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to travel far now."

With Zhao Yong's physical condition, the most needed rest now, if he travels to Jinguo again, his condition will definitely get worse.

Zhao Yong feels that his health has improved a lot, but he also understands that this is only temporary. With the current situation of Qi, he cannot leave the imperial capital...

"Go and invite the Marquis of Anning into the palace." Zhao Yong said in a deep voice.

The eunuch outside came in and replied, "Your Majesty, Marquis An Ning accompanied the eldest princess into the palace not long ago, and went to the princess' Xiuyun Hall."

Zhao Yong has not seen his daughter for several days, since the truth about the death of the first empress came to light, he has not been able to have a proper talk with her. hurt.

"Let the Marquis of Anning and the Eldest Princess come here together." Zhao Yong said coldly.

The eunuch took the order and left.

Today Zhao Rao wanted to go into the palace to get something, she didn't want to live in the palace anymore, originally she just planned to go into the palace by herself, but after Cheng Zheng knew about it, he insisted on sending her here with her.

"These are all left for you by your mother?" Cheng Zheng thought that Zhao Rao went to the palace to take some precious treasures, but who knew that she brought them out were just some ordinary dolls, not to mention precious, they were already a little dilapidated. Needless to say, it must be something left to her by the former queen, otherwise this girl would not treasure it like this.

"Yeah." Zhao Rao responded in a low voice, she raised her eyes to look at Cheng Zheng, her expression a little uncomfortable, "I've already recovered, you don't need to accompany me into the palace."

Living in Cheng's house for the past few days, he has changed his ways to make her happy. She fell asleep in his room on the first day, and sat down in the yard next to him the next day. Everyone knows that, she always feels that others look at her with strange eyes.

Although... Although she does not resist his approach now, but his identity is still there, it is difficult for Zhao Rao to let go of her worries and cater to him.

Cheng Zheng looked down at her fixedly, and said in a deep and mellow voice, "Where do you want to move?"

"I also have Zhuangzi outside the palace, so I will live in Zhuangzi." Zhao Rao said in a low voice, she just didn't want to live in the palace, and she didn't want to see Zhao Yong.

"You can stay at Cheng's house." Cheng Zheng said in a deep voice.

Zhao Rao smiled, "It's not convenient to live in Cheng's house."

"Rao'er!" Cheng Zheng's tone was a little displeased. He had endured and endured, but he didn't want to scare her by taking it by force. If she continued to avoid it like this, then don't blame him for being desperate.

"You are my uncle." Zhao Rao stomped her feet.

"It's not because you don't like it?" Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked. He has been by her side these days, and he can feel her dependence and trust in him. He likes that she is not only dependent on him, he wants her heart .

Zhao Rao blushed and said nothing, "You didn't report to the emperor when you entered the palace, he will be angry if he finds out."

"You still don't want to see him?" Cheng Zheng looked at her shy expression with bright eyes. He is a mature man, how could he not see what Zhao Rao's expression meant? She liked him only because Due to identity reasons, it has not been decided for a long time.

"I don't know what to say when I see it." Zhao Rao said lightly, "I have taken all my things, and let the maid take the rest out of the palace when the time comes."

Cheng Zheng took her little hand and gently hugged her in his arms, "Rao'er, let's stay at Cheng's house."

"No." Zhao Rao refused without thinking.

"Then I'll go to Zhuangzi with you." Cheng Zheng said, anyway, he was worried about letting her live outside alone.

Just as Zhao Rao was about to say something, the voice of the court lady Ding Xiang came from outside, "Princess, the emperor invites you and Marquis An Ning to go to the imperial study."

"I don't want to go." Zhao Rao didn't struggle in Cheng Zheng's arms anymore, she didn't want to see Zhao Yong.

"Can you hide from him for the rest of your life?" Cheng Zheng scratched her cheek, "Go and listen to what the emperor has to say."

Zhao Rao closed her eyes, she would never be able to avoid her for the rest of her life, "Every time I think of my mother, I hate him in my heart."

"Hey, I'll be by your side." Cheng Zheng said softly.

"Okay." Zhao Rao finally nodded, and went to see Zhao Yong in the imperial study.

They had just left Xiuyun Palace and before they left the harem, they met Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan went into the palace to clean up some belongings of Concubine De. She was dressed in white, like a delicate orchid, which made people feel pity. When she saw Zhao Rao appearing, her eyes burst out with strong hatred. When Cheng Zheng protected Zhao Rao like a baby, he felt that there were thousands of ants biting his heart, and he was so uncomfortable that he was about to go crazy.

Zhao Rao saw Zhao Lan, but she didn't even look at her younger sister. Anyway, she didn't even care about the princess status.

"Stop!" Zhao Lan stopped Zhao Rao, "Zhao Rao, don't think that if the emperor doesn't punish you, you can be my concubine mother. You didn't kill me..."

"I did not wrong to be a concubine, I killed it, so what?" Zhao Rao looked at Zhao Lan indifferently, she never regretted killing the concubine.

Zhao Lan whispered, "I will take revenge."

"Go ahead." Zhao Rao chuckled, she never put Zhao Lan in her eyes.

"Second princess, I advise you not to do anything foolish." Cheng Zheng said flatly.

Zhao Lan glanced at them and walked away expressionlessly.

She will take revenge... definitely!
