Chapter 302 First Confrontation

"Empress dowager, please slow down!" Liu Yanfei hurriedly said, "There are not many people who want to know about today's matter. It's better for the Empress Dowager to take the face of the last general and let it go. After all, it is his wife who is at fault. The empress dowager is like this, and she will definitely do her best for the emperor in the future.

Mo Ziyao listened to the dialogue between the two and was slightly surprised. It seems that Liu Yanfei wants to suppress this matter with his identity. After all, there are not many people here. If the Empress Dowager wants to suppress this matter, it is not difficult. But the problem is that the Empress Dowager doesn't want to do this.

Sure enough, there was a trace of anger on the Empress Dowager's face, but it was not easy to attack. When I was in trouble, I suddenly heard Gan Lin outside say, "Empress dowager, all the adults outside want to see you."

Mo Ziyao looked out in astonishment. The Empress Dowager also showed an incredible look, but when she heard Ruan Lingzheng smile and looked down at him again, she saw that he still closed her eyes and lay down on her side.

The Empress Dowager did not ask them to come in, but asked Gan Lin, "What are they doing here?"

Gan Lin hurriedly said, "All the adults heard that Lord Shang and his wife went to the palace... The emperor fell ill, and now they are saying angrily outside that they want to deal with Lord Shang and his wife."

After listening to Gan Lin's words, Mo Ziyao smiled. So that's it. Didn't Liu Yanfei say that no one knew about this? Now, the ministers of the court know all about it. Let's see how he can keep it from standing!

Liu Yanfei's face has become extremely pale, but the empress dowager said, "The emperor wants to rest, please don't come in." She looked at the person in front of her again and said, "General Liu might as well go out with his family." After saying that, he didn't look at him, but walked out.

But Liu Yanfei snorted and had to follow him.

"Brother." Hui noble concubine called him softly, looked back at Ruan Lingzheng, hesitated, and finally followed him out.

Mo Ziyao's eyes looked out and saw who slowly closed the door. Ruan Lingzheng opened his lips and asked, "Guess, who called the people outside?"

She was slightly shocked and looked at Ruan Lingzheng with some consterling. Isn't it him?

He sneered and sat up, but his hand instinctively stroked his spleen and stomach. Mo Ziyao quickly reached out to hold him and whispered, "Your Majesty..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "I really swallowed a small bite."

Mo Ziyao was surprised. No wonder he would be like this! However, in the past, I only heard that he was allergic to spicy things, but I never thought it was so serious. Therefore, when the Empress Dowager left the Tairen Palace, she would be so angry and said that the people in the imperial dining room were impatient.

And I just gave him this idea. How can he really take risks? He couldn't bear it and asked him in a low voice, "Do you still feel bad?"

He didn't answer, just hummed, "I know how Liu Yanfei will come out!" The people he brought are definitely not ordinary people. Do you think you can fool it by using some tricks? It's just..."

He paused and said again, "Damn Zhu, how dare you put half a catty of chili oil and mustard into the pastry?"

I don't know why, Mo Ziyao couldn't help laughing when she heard him say that. However, he had to endure it. He felt uncomfortable, but he smiled. I'm afraid he will be angry again.

Seeing him frown gently, he was shocked and said urgently, "What do you think, emperor?"

Ruan Lingzheng shook his head and then said, "But the man named Qiao Zhongxian really has two hands. I took his medicine and didn't feel so uncomfortable."

Mo Ziyao's hanging heart was also slightly relieved when she heard the words. Although the doctor said that he would recover when the energy was over, but how uncomfortable should it be to vomit all the time and the rash on his body from time to time? He took a breath and said, "Why did the emperor really eat it without waiting to check it?"

Ruan Lingzheng smiled and said, "Do you think Liu Yanfei dares to be so boldly unfavorable to me tomorrow?"

Mo Ziyao didn't say anything, although she knew that he didn't dare. He just wanted Liu Yanfei to know how uncomfortable he was. But watching him swallow so fast, somehow, he was nervous.

After a while, Ruan Lingzheng said again, "Go back first and help me call Hui Guifei. Tell her that I have something to say to her." With that, he didn't look at her and lay down on his side.

Although Ruan Lingzheng didn't say it, Mo Ziyao also knew that it must still be uncomfortable. If you don't rest, you have to ask Princess Hui to come in. Although he doesn't know what he wants to say to her, you don't have to ask him about this. After hesitating, he nodded and got up and went out.

"I will go to the Yuyao Palace tonight." His faint voice came from behind.

Mo Ziyao's heart moved. It seemed that he still remembered that he would reward her after saying this. After a slight pause, he smiled and said, "When the emperor is ready, my concubine will wait for you in Yuyao Palace."

Mo Ziyao went outside, but did not see the empress dowager and the ministers. Duke Jin was outside. When he saw her coming out, he quickly greeted her and asked, "Your Majesty, how is your Majesty?"

Mo Ziyao said, "The emperor is fine. What about the Empress Dowager?" Hearing this, Eunuch Jin was relieved and hurriedly said, "The Empress Dowager and General Liu went to the side hall."

No wonder. He looked out again and asked, "Has the noble concubine Hui returned to the palace?"

"No, it seems to follow me to the side hall." Duke Jin replied.

Mo Ziyao nodded and said, "Go and tell her that the emperor wants to see her."

Grandpa Jin and Li were obviously surprised, but he was only stunned and said quickly, "Yes, I'm going now."

Mo Ziyao unconsciously looked back again, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and walked out.

Out of Tianze Palace, Yuzhi waited anxiously outside. At this time, when he saw Mo Ziyao come out, his tense look eased a little. He hurried over and asked, "Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Mo Ziyao shook her head: "It's okay."

She smiled and then said, "Mother, will General Liu fall behind this time? Then Lord Shang seems to be unable to be the guard of this imperial capital.

Mo Ziyao was shocked and said in a low voice, "Who told you?"

Yuzhi was stunned and said for a long time: "The whole palace knows."

Mo Ziyao suddenly stopped and stared at her severely. Yuzhi's body trembled slightly and was shocked by her harsh eyes.

At this moment, a voice came from behind him: "Why did you come out so soon? The concubine thought that you would come out after watching the good play!"

Mo Ziyao looked up and saw Yunxianfei standing straight in front of her not far away. Her long and narrow phoenix eyes looked at her, with a smile in the corners of her eyes.

Mo Ziyao only felt tight and said in a low voice, "It turned out to be you!" I really didn't expect that the later play was conceived by Concubine Yunxian and helped the Empress Dowager sing. It's really surprising that she is pregnant and still can't be so idle.

Concubine Yunxian came forward with a light smile and whispered, "Sister, this group is the emperor. Don't you want the emperor to be good?"

Mo Ziyao sneered: "Are you really for the emperor?"

The smile on her face remained unchanged and said, "My cousin is so smart that she must think more than me. Yes, I really tried so much to make Liu Yan fly to break his wings for other purposes. But isn't it all right for me to do things?"

Mo Ziyao frowned and didn't expect that she would talk about the government in front of Tianze Palace without taboo. The purpose of doing this was nothing more than to consolidate her father's regime. She instinctively glanced at Yuzhi, and she retreated.

Yunxianfei glanced at the retreating Yuzhi and smiled, "Why is my cousin still afraid of being known by others? My father is not Liu Yanfei, let alone..." She didn't continue to say, but just raised her hand and gently stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen.

Mo Ziyao looked at her coldly and opened her lips: "What on earth do you want to do?"

She suddenly smiled, looked at Mo Ziyao, and said, "The Empress Dowager changed her outlook on you, but because of your cleverness. Mo Ziyao..."

This is the first time that Mo Ziyao has heard Yunxian call her name since she entered the palace. She also knew that in Yunxian's heart, she was never a noble concubine. She was always just a lowly girl who came out of the small villa and tried her best to fly to the branches as a phoenix.

Concubine Yunxian has never seen her with respect and never paid attention to her. The kindness to her in the past was just charity. However, over the years, with Mo Ziyao's growth, her position has been faintly shaken, which makes her have to start to find a way to remove this stumbling block.

Moreover, nowadays they no longer need to hide their hostility to each other. I don't know when they have already embarked on the opposite side, and there is nothing to hide. On the road to promotion, there are no relatives, only opponents.

Yunxianfei continued: "You can win the trust of the Empress Dowager with your wisdom, and so can I."

Mo Ziyao looked at her with some surprise. She and the empress dowager... When did it happen? When my heart moved, was it... when I and Ruan Lingheng rolled down the hillside?

"It seems that you have thought that Xuefei has come back, and the Empress Dowager has never liked her. As long as I do all this for the emperor, the empress dowager will not refuse. Isn't everything the Empress Dowager doing just for the emperor and for the Ruan Nan Dynasty?

Hearing her say this, Mo Ziyao knew that she already knew the true identity of Xuefei. However, she is really good at timing. Knowing that the Empress Dowager is angry about Xuefei, as long as she is on the line with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager will naturally not refuse. The Empress Dowager did not reject her. What's more, she still has imperial descendants in her belly, which is Ruan Nanguo's hope for the future.

How good today's play is. She must have informed her father, Lin Taifu, when she went out from Tairen Palace. The person who can be called an old fox by Ruan Lingzheng is naturally extremely smart. He doesn't need to mention the rest of the things, and he will do it just right. What's more, this time, he is competing with the Liu family. After so many years of rivals, he will definitely go all out to seize the opportunity.

Mo Ziyao didn't say anything, and Concubine Yunxian stepped forward and said, "Liu Lin, the empress dowager hopes to restrict each other."

Why doesn't she know this? However, mutual restraint is not a long-term solution. Ruan Lingzheng still hopes that all power will be taken back into his hands. That's why she wanted to push Chu Qingtian out.

She knows Chu Qingtian and believes in his ability. His rise means that the power of the Liu Lin two families will gradually be dispersed.

He is loyal and upright and dedicated to the court. Otherwise, Ruan Lingzheng will definitely not reuse him. When he comes to power, he will only be loyal to the Ruan Nan Dynasty, will not abuse his power, and will not monopolize the power and have the idea of taking it. Mo Ziyao has always believed in it.

smiled and said, "I advise you not to think about anything in the future. Remember that people in the harem are not allowed to engage in politics. No matter how well you do, the emperor won't like it.

Yunxianfei didn't seem to expect Mo Ziyao to say so. She was stunned and said with a smile, "Of course I know this." She stroked her lower abdomen and then said, "Do you think I still need to think about it now?"
