Chapter 167 A Wave of Calm

After a while, he waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Everyone except Yaofei is out."

Eunuch Jin quietly glanced at Mo Ziyao and Ruan Lingzheng and bowed his head and said, "I just quit." Then he didn't forget to gesture to those who followed him. He twisted his body and went down last, and finally didn't forget to close the door.

Soon there were only two people left in the huge hall, Mo Ziyao and Ruan Lingzheng, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little melanguid. Mo Ziyao was still half bent on her knees and waited for him to scream.

He turned around and turned his back to Mo Ziyao and suddenly shouted, "Concubine Yao."

"My concubine is here."

"You are so bold!" He shouted, walked over quickly, reached out and grabbed her jaw, and his faint eyes were sharp. Pulling her face closer to front of him, he said in a low voice, "Who asked you to come to the palace?"

He really came here for this matter, and it was so fast. I'm afraid he rushed over as soon as he got the news...

Mo Ziyao looked at him and frowned in pain. He was so close that his deep eyes could clearly reflect her face. There is a kind of intrating light inside.

Mo Ziyao's body suddenly shook, and the eyes of Princess Xi in the painting suddenly flashed in her mind. The same eyes as Ruan Lingzheng! It's just that in his eyes, he was a little more indifferent and ruthless. Sure enough, there is a mother and a son.

Ruan Lingzheng's hand exerted strength again, and Mo Ziyao couldn't help biting her lips in pain. She looked at the man in front of her in horror, and his face changed slightly. He grabbed her fiercely and whispered, "Do you see anything?"

Mo Ziyao was shocked, but she was not afraid of him at all. He is too smart to hide anything from his eyes. With a smile, she leaned against his chest, slowly brushed the dazzling dragon embroidery on his dragon robe, and summoned up the courage to ask, "Is the emperor avoiding something?"

Sure enough, Princess Xi is his biological mother. Although he tried his best to avoid reluctance to admit it, he could not change the truth.

A trace of anger flashed in Ruan Lingzheng's eyes and muttered, "I don't like it..." His voice suddenly lowered, and he suddenly pushed Mo Ziyao away and sneered, "I don't like you to be smart enough to come against me!"

His strength is so great that Mo Ziyao was pushed back several steps by him to stand firm. He looked up at him and unconsciously wanted to laugh. That's great. If you can't say a few words, are you going to start to lose your temper? At this moment, she felt that he was like a half-year-old child, and her temper came.

"Do you dare to laugh?" He asked with a straight face.

Mo Ziyao suppressed her smile and replied, "I dare not." His eyes flowed slightly and took a deep breath, and then walked to him to hold his hand.

continued to frown gently. In the past, his hands have always been warm, but today they are as cold as ice. Thinking of that time, he warmed his hands and joked that Yaoer was too delicate. The corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled, wrapped his hand hard, looked up at him and asked, "Zi, are you cold?"

He didn't answer, squeezed his thin lips and was still angry. Mo Ziyao smiled and wanted to make peace, so she held his hand in her arms.

At this time, Ruan Lingzheng suddenly looked down at her and said a crying and laughing words for a long time: "Do you think I won't pursue you if you let me taste some sweetness?"

He is still angry, otherwise why don't you say that I want to say me? When he called himself me, it showed that he was playing with pride, while when he called me, he put down all his airs and arrogance and treated me equally.

"Ge--" Mo Ziyao couldn't help laughing and whispered in her heart, "Do you think I'm trying to please you carefully, just for your poor anger? You don't know yourself. I know you. If you confirm something, how can my little action change?

"No laughing." He still had a cold face and was not moved at all.

Mo Ziyao stood up straight, smiled obediently, and looked up at Ruan Lingzheng. His hand was still in her arms and he didn't pull it out, so she knew that he was not really angry.

Ruan Lingzheng's amber eyes flashed slightly and suddenly said, "It's only been a while, you're going to turn to the sky, aren't you?"

Mo Ziyao lowered her head and looked like she was taught, and she didn't want to care about him at all.

In this way, Ruan Lingzheng seemed to be unhappy again and said with a gloomy face, "Shouldn't you beg me to spare my life? Why can you still laugh? You also want to move to the cold palace to accompany Qing Zhaoyi, don't you?

"Well, my concubine won't laugh, and the emperor won't send me to the cold palace!" With that, Mo Ziyao took a step back, restrained her laughing expression, and bowed solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me this time. My concubine is also unintentional. If you have a lot, don't care about the little girl!"

"What kind of little girl are you? The girl with sharp teeth and sharp mouth is almost the same. He turned his face and didn't look at Mo Ziyao. He said, "Come on, why did you come here? If I can't say why, I won't forgive you easily." After saying that, he didn't forget to reach out and touch her forehead.

What a proud guy. I begged you for mercy. How high do you have to climb? Mo Ziyao originally thought that if he did not investigate this matter, she would definitely investigate it. However, since he asked about the truth, let him know. This matter involves his mother's and royal face, and he can't be indifferent.

Mo Ziyao reached out and rubbed her forehead and stared at him. Suddenly, she knelt down and lowered her head and said, "Please make the decision for my concubine."

Huh? You made a mistake, but I didn't blame you. Why do you still have grievances?

Mo Ziyao looked at him earnestly and asked, "Your Majesty, do you believe in concubines?"

At this time, Ruan Lingzheng had put away his indifference, and his eyes exuded the wisdom of the wise. After listening to her words, his eyes flashed and he returned to normal. In this way, Mo Ziyao was relieved.

"I believe you."

Three words are comparable to a lot of money. His unquestioned trust is more than Mo Ziyao's delight, just because he believes in himself.

"Thank you, Emperor." Mo Ziyao bent her lips and smiled, and began to tell him the cause and effect word by word.

"It is said that the concubine has known the emperor for more than five years, and the emperor must also know the son of the concubine. The emperor must be very clear about the concubine's every move in the palace. I looked at him and saw that he was speech. Mo Ziyao said again, "My concubine has only been in the palace for more than half a year. How can I know that there is a Xilin Palace in the westernmost part of the imperial garden? Your Majesty, you have not taken the initiative to mention it to your concubine, and the people around you may not know. And this is a forbidden place, and those who know it dare not break in without permission.

lowered her voice, and Mo Ziyao said, "My concubine went to Sister Yun's place today. When I came back, I happened to meet a man and woman in the imperial garden. My concubine was attracted here by them."

When Ruan Lingzheng heard this, a fierce light shot out of his eyes. Suddenly, he reached out and patted the table hard, and his face was not as relaxed as before. An angry words burst out from the corners of his mouth: "How dare you do such a bad thing in Xilin Palace! I must catch them and smash them to pieces! Yaofei, can you see their faces clearly?

"The emperor, don't be angry. My concubine didn't see their faces clearly, and I don't know which palace they are from. When my concubine was locked into the Xilin Palace by them, I saw the woman wearing an ordinary maidservant's clothes from the crack of the door, but I thought it might not be her real name. And they are not really 'youhui', just to show it to my concubines. Their purpose is to attract concubines to come to the Xilin Palace.

Ruan Lingzheng stretched out his hand and gently lifted Mo Ziyao. He looked at her, and the cold light in his eyes could not hide the shooting out. And his face is even more gloomy. If what you are saying is true, then those who designed you and were involved in this incident deserve to die!"

He stood long, but his fist hidden in his sleeve was slowly clenched. Faintly, you can also hear the sound of the joints. That's hard. He's really angry this time.

Ruan Lingzheng is a superior emperor. He has what he wants to protect. He has his dignity. Although the person who designed Mo Ziyao knows her very well, she does not know Ruan Lingzheng.

Although Ruan Lingzheng easily believed her, he was not responsible for accidentally breaking into the forbidden place. Although she is not to blame, she is not as happy as she thought. The knot between him and Princess Xi weighed on her heart like a stone and made her feel heavy.

So she wanted to use her own strength to open Ruan Lingzheng's heart knot, so that he could understand Empress Xi's painstaking efforts and make him no longer hate.

Mo Ziyao pinched her sleeves, thought for a moment, and finally summoned up her courage and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Xi is actually..."

"Come on!" Ruan Lingzheng suddenly interrupted Mo Ziyao's words. Obviously, he didn't want to listen to anything about Princess Xi and resisted from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as the voice fell, Grandpa Jin pushed the door and came in and asked respectfully, "What is the emperor's order?"

Ruan Lingzheng did not look at the father-in-law waiting for him, but approached Mo Ziyao and gently held her in his arms. He said softly, "Yuer, thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest first. The next thing will be left to me."

"Send the Empress Yao back to the Yuyao Palace."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty..." Mo Ziyao gritted her teeth and called softly. Her hand has been in her sleeve, holding the painting tightly, and she finally swallowed the words below. Proud Ruan Lingzheng, this is about his royal face, and even he can't participate in it.

Mo Ziyao sighed and went out with Bichi, the maidservant arranged by Eunuch Jin. Outside, her attendants were carrying a sedan chair waiting for her not far away.

"It turned out that he believed me at the beginning." This kind of trust that doesn't need any reason makes her feel hot. Somehow, there was a little excitement. He secretly made up his mind: "No matter what happens between Zheng and Princess Xi, I seem to understand his mood. Uneasy, but with hatred. I will do my best to make you feel relieved."
