Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Emperor Renjing said nothing.

Just a pair of sharp eyes, fixed on the top of Su Liuer's head.

After a while, he said slowly.

"The imperial edict has been issued. You have no words to say. The matter is a foregone conclusion. There is no need for the queen to say more."

Su Liuer was silent and stood up slowly.

Her graceful and moving face looked a little gloomy.

Emperor Renjing also knew that he was arbitrary.

A while ago, he received a request from Hanyang Wang Lenghong, saying that he wanted to enter Beijing.

He then issued an edict and agreed to the matter.

Leng Hong must have some agenda when he came to Beijing. He speculated for a long time but still couldn't figure out the reason.

Until a few days ago, I received news that Leng Hong came to Beijing with Su Sheng in order to find a good county horse master for his little daughter.

Emperor Renjing was not stupid and immediately thought of Murong Yao.

If Murong Yao marries King Hanyang, the power of the Su family will be more difficult to control.

He must strike first.

So today, a decree was drawn up to give Lin Xiuyi to Murong Yao.

Emperor Renjing softened his tone.

"If the queen feels that it is not suitable for her, and if Prince Rui has a girl he meets in the future, you can just make the decision and bring her into the palace. But the position of the principal concubine can only be Lin Xiuyi."

Su Liuer said lightly.

"The emperor has already made a decision. It is useless for me to say more."

"Queen, I still like your dignified and sensible appearance."

Emperor Renjing was also a little displeased when he saw Su Liuer's uncompromising attitude.

At this time, a palace maid suddenly came in from outside and knelt in front of Emperor Renjing.

"Your Majesty, this servant is Yu'er from Yongle Palace. Concubine Xian said she has a pain in her heart and wants to see the Emperor."

"I understand. You go back and tell Concubine Xian that I will be there in a moment."

"Slave, you obey!"

Yu'er left happily.

In Changqiu Palace, the atmosphere suddenly darkened again.

Emperor Renjing stood up from the table.

"I see that the queen is in a bad mood today, and I don't have much appetite. Wang Defu, please drive to Yongle Palace."

"Yes."

Wang Defu bowed in agreement, then personally held the lamp and walked out of the Changqiu Palace together with Emperor Renjing.

The soft voice of "Farewell Your Majesty" came from behind.

Emperor Renjing never looked back.

He looked at the deep night with a dark light shining in his eyes.

This was the first time in so many years that he and the queen had a disagreement.

The matter involving King Hanyang must have been brought about by Su Sheng.

But is his queen really unaware of the inside story?

Emperor Renjing sat on the dragon chariot, holding his forehead and meditating. Unknowingly, he arrived at the door of Yongle Palace.

Ning Yingying had already dressed up and was waiting.

Standing in the night, with a graceful figure and half of his face hidden in the shadows, he looked like an old friend from many years ago.

Emperor Renjing was stunned for a moment.

He stepped off the dragon chariot and helped Ning Yingying up.

"Isn't my beloved concubine feeling unwell? Why are you still waiting outside?"

"When I saw the emperor, I was in a very good mood. When my mood felt good, my health also improved."

Ning Yingying looked shy and her eyes were full of him.

Emperor Renjing was pleased by her little daughter's demeanor, and then took her hand and walked into Yongle Palace.

Sometimes, he actually liked getting along with Ning Yingying.

She is stupid, can read people's thoughts at a glance, and has no background.

Being with her made him feel relaxed.

……

In Changqiu Palace, Su Liuer asked people to remove the table full of food.

She looked at the candlelight in the hall, her expression fixed.

After a while, he spoke.

"Prince Rui should come into the palace tomorrow and ask the small kitchen to prepare it. I will personally cook some of his favorite dishes."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid went down.

Yuzhi helped her stand up and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is rarely so tough. Could it be that something happened?"

"The emperor has his own considerations."

She paused, and then said: "But I also have my own considerations. Yao'er is young, and I hope he can choose the one he likes as his concubine."

Yuzhi thought for a while.

"My queen, don't worry too much. His Highness Prince Rui seems to be idle and innocent, but I think he has an idea and he will be able to deal with it on his own."

"I am afraid that he will have too many ideas."

Su Liuer looked at the palace lantern on the side with a slightly condensed expression.

For a while, she thought of something.

"Has there been any result on the investigation of Lan Bin before?"

"Your Majesty, after checking, this matter is really shocking."

Yuzhi lowered her voice, and then said something in Su Liuer's ear.

Su Liuer's beautiful eyes darkened slightly. After hearing Yuzhi's words, a coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Prince Duan is so brave to do such a stupid thing!"

"Yes, your Majesty, please say something more. His Royal Highness Prince Duan's mother-in-law died early, and she was raised under your knees. Now if she does such a treasonous thing, I'm afraid it will harm your Majesty."

Su Liuer thought for a while, then walked to the soft couch and sat down slowly.

She supported her forehead with one hand, frowned, and thought for a moment.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing."

Yuzhi was confused: "What do you mean, Madam?"

If this matter comes to light, neither Lan Bin nor Murong Xiu will end well, especially Lan Bin.

However, she is just a concubine and poses no threat to Su Liuer at all.

On the contrary, she will be accused of "lax management of the harem".

Su Liuer did not answer, but narrowed her eyes and asked.

"How many people know about this?"

"Concubine Rong knows that some of the maids and eunuchs in her palace were also present that day. I don't know how many people know about this."

Su Liuer nodded and then said.

"Every palace maid and eunuch who may know about this matter has been dealt with. We must not let this news get out."

"The servant knows."

Yuzhi was a little surprised.

When Murong Xiu came over, he was already more than ten years old. It was the time when young people were sensitive and he was not close to Su Liu'er.

Now Su Liuer took the risk to conceal such a treasonous thing for him.

"Empress, those palace maids and eunuchs are easy to deal with, but Concubine Rong..."

"Rong Bi's intention is not to let Lan Bi give her Mingyue so that she won't expose the matter?"

Su Liuer plucked the Buddhist beads in her hand, her eyes light.

"Then give it to her."

Yunlin Temple.

The night was dark, and the forest wind blew along the mountain peaks, bringing a chilling chill.

In the main hall of Yunlin Temple, a three-meter-tall golden Buddha is majestic and solemn, with his hands clasped together and his eyes slightly narrowed, which is extremely oppressive.

In front of the hall, Murong Yao was sitting cross-legged on a futon, with candlelight flickering on all sides, giving his originally soft and handsome face a sharp arc.

Opposite him was Master Xuantong, the abbot of Yunlin Temple.

He is highly virtuous and highly respected, and his cultivation is profound.

The signature is being read for him at the moment.

Murong Yao asked: "Host, how about this lottery?"

"This sign is the top sign."

Hearing this, Murong Yao's originally tangled brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.

However, he listened to Xuan Passage again.

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui is of noble birth and has the blood of a true dragon. As long as he cultivates his mind and cultivates his nature, he will be able to maintain prosperity, wealth, and food and clothing for the rest of his life."

"Oh?"

Murong Yao had a smile in his eyes: "Why does the host think this king is so kind and nurturing?"

"People have greed, and only when they have desires can they ask for something. Your Highness, let go of the greed in your heart, and it will be done."

"Is there greed in my heart..."

Murong Yao murmured and repeated, and then said slowly: "What if I can't let go?"
