The Queen's Road of the Little Palace Maid - Chapter 31

Chapter 31

In the Zichen Palace.

“Why won’t your Highness come out yet!” Laifu walked around outside the Hall of Cultivation in anxious manner, and finally grabbed a palace lady who was going to go in and serve tea, stuffed silver and begged: “Good aunt, please take a look when you go in, Your Highness When will you come out?”

The lady of the tea service estimated that she had an urgent matter to find her Highness when she came to Fu. This matter was not a spy news, so she collected the money and planned to make it easier.

Laifu spends seconds outside, even though the time for the maid to go in is not long, he is still anxious.

When the lady serving tea came out, Laifu immediately greeted him: “Aunt, how is it? How long will your Highness be out?”

“Your Majesty is happy today, I have a meal, I’m afraid I will have to wait.” The maid said, seeing a rumored eunuch coming over, she pretended to leave as if nothing had happened.

Can’t go on like this! Liu Nüshi couldn’t wait there anymore. Laifu was cruel, and directly took out his household money and pulled a Shangshan eunuch who was walking behind: “Thank you, father-in-law.”

“It turned out to be Father-in-law Laifu, I can’t afford it, just tell me what I need.” The eunuch immediately smiled when he saw that the eunuch who was holding him was the close-knit eunuch next to the prince’s eldest son.

Laifu gritted his teeth and passed the silver on his hand: “Thank you, father-in-law, to send a message to your highness.”

“In front of your majesty, this is a bit embarrassing…” The eunuch’s eyes turned quickly.

Laifu was bitter in his heart, and squeezed a smile: “This time, I apologized to you for helping me.”

“Well, I’ll take the risk to help you pass a message.” The eunuch naturally stuffed the silver into his sleeve.

Zhao Yongze was sitting in the Hall of Cultivation of Sex, not knowing why he was a little restless, looking at the table full of imperial meals, the first thing he thought was, I wonder if Zhen’er has eaten it?

Looking at the pan-fried tofu placed in front of him, Zhao Yongze’s first thought was that this was not the spicy flavor that Zhen’er loved. Then I saw another small paper ball on the table below the rim. Looking at the little eunuch who was leaving, Zhao Yongze still opened the paper ball from a secret angle.

There are only seven words on the paper: Ci’an Palace, female history is difficult!

It was the handwriting of Laifu, Zhao Yongze stood up abruptly.

“Yongze?” Qinghe Emperor questioned when he came back from changing clothes.

Zhao Yongze reluctantly calmed down when he saluted: “Father, the man who solved the seed problem that the son said is now in Ci’an Palace.”

“Oh.” Qinghe Emperor’s gaze was like electricity, “Who is it that made you so gaffe?”

After all, there is no way to hide this. Zhao Yongze made a decision in a flash: “She is the female officer in the Erchen Palace, Liu Zhener.”

“That little palace lady?” Qinghe Emperor’s eyes were a little dangerous.

Zhao Yongze bowed down and worshiped: “It is indeed her, and children and ministers must not lie to their father and emperor.”

Emperor Qinghe also didn’t want to believe that his son was a man who robbed others of merit for the court lady, and made a gesture into the air. A man with a black face and a mask appeared in the temple and saluted Emperor Qinghe.

“Bring the Xuanyiwei who is guarding Yongze today.” Emperor Qinghe waved his hand.

The man with the mask went down, and soon brought the coachman of Zhao Yongze today, but the coachman also put on the Xuanyi sweater decoration at this time, looking heroic and vigorous.

Zhao Yongze was not surprised that this person appeared here, and he did not guilty about his father’s next questions.

“In the imperial house, who proposed the solution to the problem that seeds can’t sprout?” Emperor Qinghe glanced at his kneeling son and asked directly.

Xuan Yiwei replied respectfully: “It’s a female officer named’Zhen’er’ next to His Royal Highness.”

It really is? Emperor Qinghe waved his hand to let Xuan Yiwei go down and looked at Zhao Yongze and said: “Get up, you are the eldest son of Daqing, don’t kneel down here.”

“Father, why don’t you tell Zhen’er directly for questioning?” Zhao Yongze, who had passed the first pass, couldn’t relax, because he didn’t know how Zhen’er was in Ci’an Palace.

Emperor Qinghe looked at his son and said, “Are you afraid that the queen mother will punish you?”

“The emperor’s grandmother is fair and strict, and Zhen’er has always abided by the palace rules. If it is normal, the son is not worried, but at this point in time, Zhen’er will be called over, I am afraid that someone will slander.” Besides, Zhao Yongze also thought. There is no reason for other imperial grandmothers to act repeatedly.

Emperor Qinghe snorted coldly: “Since your emperor grandmother called someone over, there must be her reasons.”

“But Erchen really can’t worry about it.” Zhao Yongze was straightforward.

Emperor Qinghe was going to scold him, but looking at his son’s stubborn face, he suddenly remembered what happened to him back then and waved his hand: “If you don’t worry, go.”

Zhao Yongze bowed and hurried out. When he saw Laifu, he asked, “When was Zhen’er taken away? What’s the reason?”

“When I first returned to the Palace of Longevity…” Before Laifu could say anything, he was frightened back by His Highness’s eyes.

Jiner is okay now? Is there any harm? Zhao Yongze’s heart was tight, he didn’t dare to think deeply, and he quickened his pace.

In Ciangong, the murderous intent in the words of the empress dowager in the words of’bewitching the prince’s eldest son, causing him to change his temperament greatly and behave abnormally’ made the atmosphere in the temple tense.

Liu Zhener had a cold sweat on her back, but her thoughts were exceptionally clear.

“His Royal Highness is a wise man, this is the consensus of all the great Confucian scholars in the Wenhua Palace, can the slaves and maids be able to confuse it? Please see the empress dowager.” Liu Zhener leaned over and bowed again.

Luo Yiren immediately jumped out: “You mean I despise your Highness in order to slander you?”

I’m afraid you won’t jump out! Liu Zhener sneered in her heart, but did not answer.

In Luo Yiren’s words, he just blindly accused Liu Zhener, and did not show the slightest protection for her milky eldest son. The eyes of the empress dowager when she looked at her suddenly became cold, but Luo Yiren didn’t even notice it.

The empress dowager decided to change her original plan of only expelling Roche out of the palace, but this idiot can be dealt with later, she turned her gaze to Liu Zhener: “You don’t have to avoid the weight, but just say whether you are sitting and eating with Yongze?”

“Yes.” What has been done is irrefutable.

“Then you have confessed the crime of presumptuous?”

Liu Zhener’s fingers slammed into the floor tiles: “If the empress dowager said that it was wrong to follow the will of her Royal Highness, then the slave and maid would have confessed the crime of trespassing.”

“What a maid with sharp teeth!” The Queen Mother patted the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table.

Liu Zhen’er’s voice is as firm as ever: “The slave and maidservant are telling the truth, please ask the empress dowager to sanctify.”

Life and death are between the words of the queen dowager, and the queen dowager hates her to be put to death. All the struggles seem to be in vain. Liu Zhener simply closed her eyes and waited for the trial.

“In that case, then…” Before the empress dowager’s voice fell, she was interrupted by the voice of the emperor’s eldest son outside the palace.

Zhao Yongze was very fortunate that he had arrived in time, and he waved away the blocking palace man, and said loudly: “Grandson Yongze pleases the emperor’s grandmother.”

The empress dowager gave Liu Zhen’er a stern look, closed her eyes and calmed down, before she said, “Come in!”

The kneeling person in the temple was so thin that he almost didn’t protect him. Zhao Yongze felt a pain in his heart, but walked up to Liu Zhen’er without squinting, knelt down in front of the empress dowager, and kowtowed: “Grandson Yongze, please peace to the emperor and grandmother.”

“It’s time now, please come to my Ci’an Palace, please?” The empress dowager said sarcastically.

Zhao Yongze raised his head, his expression is still the respect that the younger generation should have: “The emperor’s grandmother has not rested yet, this time is just right.”

“If you are here for this servant on the ground, just kneel here and reflect on it.” The empress dowager wanted to come and be in a circle with her children and grandchildren.

Zhao Yongze knelt straighter: “Yes, the emperor’s grandmother.”

“Okay, okay, very good!” The empress dowager threw her sleeves out of the hall angrily.

The empress dowager’s close court ladies also quickly followed out, and all of a sudden, only Zhao Yongze and Liu Zhener were left in the hall, as well as a few other court ladies who guarded the palace.

“Zhen’er, sit up and lean on me.” Zhao Yongze helped Liu Zhen’er and coaxed softly.

Liu Zhener wanted to break away, but she couldn’t match her sore body. She knew that she was weak. When facing the Queen Mother by herself, she could hold a sigh of relief, but this breath suddenly disappeared when His Highness said that sentence.

“Why is your Royal Highness coming? In your Majesty’s habit, this time should be reserved for you to eat.” Liu Zhen’er, who was relying on the only heat source in this cold hall, finally let go of her weakness and sensibility.

Zhao Yongze held Liu Zhen’er’s shoulder with one hand, and rubbed Liu Zhen’er’s leg with the other. His voice became very soft: “Because you are here.”

“I blamed the royal family just now, because you are a royal family, I should be inferior, life and death, honor and disgrace are at the hands of people.” Liu Zhener’s voice was very soft, but it was deeply pierced in Zhao Yongze’s heart like a sharp blade.

Zhao Yongze hugged Zhen’er tightly: “No, no, you are not inferior to others, you are my most precious…” Treasure!

“Just now, I also resented you.” Liu Zhener was still talking to herself as if she hadn’t heard Zhao Yongze’s words.

Zhao Yongze’s heart was frozen all at once, his whole body stiffened, his lips trembled a little, and he could only mutter helplessly: “Jin’er…, Zhen’er…”

“Because only I can wake you up in the entire harem, I should be jealous of the Queen Mother.” Liu Zhener said it was funny, and then she laughed.

Zhao Yongze couldn’t find words, so he could only hug Liu Zhen’er tightly, as if he wouldn’t lose her in this way.

“Because of your gift, there is evidence that I manipulated the eldest son of the Daqing prince.” Liu Zhener laughed and tears came out: “Can I refuse as the gift of the prince’s eldest son? Rejection is another evidence of infidelity. Bar?”

It turned out that all these injuries were caused by him. He thought he was good to Zhen’er, but he didn’t find that Zhen’er was hiding in the depths of despair. It was his fault.

“No, there will be no such things again.” Zhao Yongze hugged Zhen’er and kissed her hair gently, his voice was exceptionally soft and calm.
