Chapter 420 – The Willful Emperor (2)
Wait, that’s not correct! Yaoyao said Ye Zhen had been given poisoned wine, but… I did not give her such a thing, so who was it? As he mused, Mo Rongzhan thought of Lu Wushuang. With her temper, she was the one most likely to give Ye Zhen poisonous wine at the ti. Lu Lingzhi… did he cover up the truth for Lu Wushuang’s sake?
Although Ye Zhen’s death did not leave a mark on him, Mo Rongzhan still felt unhappy. Lu Lingzhi shouldn’t have hidden this matter from him, not even for his sister’s sake.
Huangfu Chen sighed and said, “You should give Yaoyao so ti.”
“Zhen has already given her a lot of ti, but in her mind, zhen can still not compare to Ye Zhen who she has never seen before.” He snorted, holding back his anger.
Could it be that every emperor who found love for the first ti is all so naïve? I can’t believe he’s competing with a dead person. Huangfu Chen inwardly shook his head, deciding to let Mo Rongzhan suffer so hardships first. That way, he would learn how to love soone instead of forcibly getting soone to be with him with his identity.
“Since this is the case, do you want to change the female physician serving you?” Huangfu Chen asked.
Mo Rongzhan gave him a cold look and said flatly, “You don’t need to ddle in this matter.”
Look, his mouth said he no longer has any thought, but he still doesn’t want to see her replaced. Huangfu Chen smiled. “It’s almost ti to take the dicine. I’ll have soone bring it over.”
“I won’t take dicine.” Mo Rongzhan’s tone could not hide his disgust over the matter. The last thing he liked was taking dicine.
Huangfu Chen laughed and said, “Today, I have to go outside the palace, so don’t be willful and take your dicine when you should. The condition of your injury is still bad. What morials? You really think you are made of iron?”
“Didn’t you say that my injury is recovering well?” Mo Rongzhan asked faintly.
“You still have to take dicine before you fully recover.” Huangfu Chen said, “Lu Lingzhi’s poison broke out again, and Qijie Grass is useless this ti. My paternal aunt asked to go to the Lu Family.”
Mo Rongzhan thought of the remnant poison in Marquis Anyang and nodded silently. “You go then.”
Huangfu Chen withdrew from the Palace of Heavenly Purity. After he left, Mo Rongzhan glanced at the door a few tis, causing Eunuch Fu to hurry in, thinking that he had so instruction for him.
“Your Majesty, what can this slave do for you*?” Eunuch Fu ca in and asked.
Mo Rongzhan looked at him coldly. “You’re the only one outside?”
From the beginning, he was the only one outside, why was the emperor asking this? Could it be… he wished a certain soone was out there? Eunuch Fu was very intelligent, thus he imdiately thought of Ye Zhen, s said. “Princess has gone down to the Cining Palace. Your Majesty, are you looking for Princess?”
“Withdraw.” Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. Why would I want to see her? She disregards my intention for her ti and again, so why should I put down my pride just to coax her?
Eunuch Fu hurried out.
Mo Rongzhan laid down in the palace hall and began looking through the morials. Not long after that, Tang Zhen and Wei You requested an audience with him.
The eighth prince had been arrested, but he flatly denied he was involved in the matter of sending assassins and releasing the fierce tiger to murder Mo Rongyi. Still, despite his denial, Tang Zhen directly locked him up in the dungeon.
With the eighth prince’s arrest by Tang Zhen, the fifth prince and the other mbers of the imperial clan imdiately went to the palace to seek an audience with the emperor. However, Mo Rongzhan refused to see them, so they demanded to et Empress Dowager.
After Empress Dowager ca to know that the eighth prince was going to kill Mo Rongyi, she was furious. So much so that she wanted to execute him imdiately. So, how would she be willing to co out and listen to these people’s sophistry for Eighth Prince?
Therefore, Fifth Prince and Old Prince Kang went back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and knelt outside, howling loudly.
“Your Majesty, you have to give Old Eighth justice. There’s not many of us brothers to begin with; how can Your Highness allow Old Eighth to be wrongfully accused by the treacherous officials… Your Majesty, please show rcy.” Fifth Prince cried loudly.
“Xiandi*, ah! Please show your spirit and redress Old Eighth’s grievances.” Old Prince Kang also shouted.
[*O late emperor]
Behind them, the other mbers of imperial clans knelt, loudly begging Mo Rongzhan to give the eighth prince justice.
Mo Rongzhan just turned a deaf ear to all these and perused the morials in the palace hall. However, he didn’t use the cinnabar brush and evaluate them. Anyway, in the eyes of the officials, he was still seriously ill.
“Your Majesty, this official will go and drive them away,” Wei You said angrily.
“Let them beg themselves hoarse and ignore it,” Mo Rongzhan said lightly before turning to Tang Zhen and continuing, “Zhen will hand over Prince Shun’s matter to you. You’re allowed to use as much torture as you should.”
Tang Zhen complied, tone firm. He did not intend to be soft on Prince Shun at all.
Mo Rongzhan picked up the last morial and frowned when he saw its content. “How long has it been since the dam in the lower reaches of Huaijiang River was built?”
Tang Zhen and Wei You looked at each other in dismay. How could they know about this matter?
“Your Majesty, you may have to ask Pri Minister Xu about that.” Tang Zhen whispered.
Mo Rongzhan nodded his head in agreent. It was ti for him to summon and question Pri Minister Xu about this matter. “You all withdraw.”
