Chapter 713 (1/2)
In a place like the palace, one less person or one more person will never attract much attention. Aunt Cheng's disappearance was not discovered until a few days later. The Empress Dowager learned that Aunt Cheng, who had been with her for many years, fell into a well and died. She was only stunned for a moment, which did not make her more sad.
Without aunt Cheng, Duke Fu inquired for him in the CI Ning palace. He wanted to find the little maid who had been planted in the palace, but he couldn't find out anything. He knew what the Empress Dowager had around him. However, no matter who he was, he couldn't make the Empress Dowager's temperament like this.
He told the emperor about the situation of the palace.
Mo Rong Zhan pondered for a moment, and now the palace of benevolence has become an iron wall?
”It's not necessarily the people around the Empress Dowager. If she had been serving around before, aunt Cheng must have seen the clue. This person is very deep. The Empress Dowager may still cover up this person and continue to investigate.” Mo Rong Zhan said coldly.
Fu Gonggong agreed.
After a while, Duke Fu came to Mo Rong Zhan in a hurry and said, ”emperor, the Empress Dowager has sent people to invite Lord ye into the palace of benevolence.”
Mo Rong Zhan nodded lightly, ”I know, don't worry.”
The Empress Dowager will not be ye Yiqing's opponent. Maybe Ye Yiqing can see who is in the palace of benevolence.
It is not so much that the Empress Dowager wants to see ye Yiqing, but that ye Yiqing wants to see her.
In the palace of CI Ning, the Empress Dowager is being treated with severity. In the past, she only thought Ye Yiqing was a weak and incompetent scholar, but now she thinks so. What kind of cowardly bookstore can become a prime minister of a country? He can find someone to send a message and want to see her, so it is not so simple.
”Empress dowager, Mr. Ye asked to see you outside.” A maid came in and whispered to the Empress Dowager.
”Let him in.” The Empress Dowager said faintly, as if a layer of frost coagulated between the eyebrows.
Ye Yiqing walked in slowly from the outside. Today, he was wearing a white moon embroidered gold silk and Hangzhou silk round Lapel dress, which made him look more and more like a crown jade, which was very noble.
It's not suitable to describe Ye Yiqing with his face like a crown jade, but he does look very young and handsome, which surprised the Empress Dowager. Ye Yiqing in front of her is totally different from what she imagined.
”I have seen the Empress Dowager.” Ye Yiqing bowed his head to salute slightly, and his eyes were light and did not reveal other emotions.
The Empress Dowager did not speak, but looked at Ye Yiqing without expression. After a moment, she asked, ”Mr. Ye, you are a little different than what I imagined.”
Ye Yiqing said with a smile, ”there is always a gap between imagination and reality.”
”Are you here for your daughter?” The Empress Dowager asked. Ye Yiqing didn't think that she would forgive Lu Yaoyao's rudeness if she came to ask for mercy?
”Yes, it is not.” Ye Yiqing raised his eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile. Looking at her like this, he did not notice anything unusual. ”Ye has not been grateful to the Empress Dowager for her help at the beginning. Today, he has come to thank the Empress Dowager specially.”
