Chapter 115: Removing the Minions
That night, Su Chenyu and Rong Ruo went to cultivate Tan Xi's chamber. The location of Tan Xi's chamber was relatively remote, close to the cold palace.
At the intersection, they met Emperor Jing of Wei and Concubine Yun.
Su Chenyu and Rong Ruo came forward to pay their respects, and Emperor Jing of Wei asked, "Are you here to admire Tan Xi as well?"
"yes."
"I and Concubine Yun are also here to admire Tan Xi. If that's the case, let's go together."
Concubine Yun glanced at Rong Ruo, and Rong Ruo smiled at her...
Under an elm tree not far from the cold palace, Zhixia waited anxiously. Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of her, and Zhixia smiled and greeted him: "Ling..."
As soon as she shouted a word, Zhixia saw the face of the person who came, and the smile on her face froze instantly: "Why are you here? Get out of here quickly."
"Didn't you invite me here?" Asen looked at Zhixia with some confusion, "Did you invite someone else?"
Without time to explain, Zhixia took Asen's hand and was about to leave: "Come with me first."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard an extremely familiar voice: "Who is there?"
When Rong Ruo saw the figure under the elm tree, he immediately shouted loudly. All the people who had not paid attention to that place looked towards the elm tree.
"Catch them." Emperor Jing of Wei gave the order immediately, and the guards following behind immediately stepped forward to catch the two men. In order to escape, Asen even injured several guards, but was finally captured.
The guards brought Zhixia and Asen over. When Rong Ruo saw that the person staying with Zhixia was Asen, his face turned pale instantly. Shouldn't the person here be Ling Yu?
Emperor Jing of Wei looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, his face darkened. Zhixia was indeed banished to the cold palace by him, but he could not tolerate Zhixia having an affair with someone else.
Su Chenyu glanced at Asen and said, "Your Majesty, this guard is looking at you. Is he a guard from Dayu?"
Hearing this, Asen immediately lowered his head. Emperor Jing of Wei asked the guards to lift up his face and look at him carefully.
The people of Dayu and Beirong are somewhat different in appearance, and you can see it if you look closely. Emperor Jing of Wei stared at him and asked, "Are you a soldier from Beirong?"
The soldiers of the Northern Rong secretly meeting with the Northern Rong's maids would inevitably arouse the suspicion of Emperor Jing of Wei.
Rong Ruo quickly said, "Your Majesty, I was the one who brought the soldier into the palace. Zhixia was injured some time ago, and I wanted him to bring medicine to Zhixia."
"Since you are delivering medicine, you must have medicine on you, right?" Su Chenyu ordered, "Search your body!"
The soldiers searched around but found nothing. Emperor Jing of Wei looked at Rong Ruo and asked sternly, "Do you have anything else to say now?"
"Your Majesty, I..." At this moment, Rong Ruo's mind went blank and he couldn't say anything.
It was Rong Ruo's personal maid A Fu who reacted first. She stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Asen and Zhixia already had an affair. The princess didn't know about it. She felt sorry for Zhixia and asked Asen to deliver the medicine. She didn't expect Asen to take advantage of this opportunity to meet Zhixia in private."
If it was just an affair, the worst that could happen would be the execution of Zhixia and Asen.
But if Emperor Jing of Wei suspected that Zhixia and Asen were passing on messages, then the peace talks between Dayu and Beirong would be really over.
