Early the next morning, Zhao Yuancheng went straight to Huayang Palace after leaving court.
At that time, Fu Qianyu was taking medicine.
"Let me come."
Zhao Yuancheng took the medicine bowl and sat beside Fu Qianyu's bed. Speaking of yesterday's incident, the emperor's eyes were filled with apology, "I'm sorry that you've been wronged by this matter."
Fu Qianyu understood that the reason why Zhao Yuancheng said this was that he must have already figured out who wanted to harm her.
"Your Majesty, I do not believe that the princess could do such a vicious thing. She must have been instigated by someone. I beg Your Majesty to give me an explanation for this matter."
Fu Qianyu has always been gentle and weak in front of Zhao Yuancheng. Today's attitude is so firm, which is the first time Zhao Yuancheng has seen it.
Zhao Yuancheng put the medicine bowl aside, firmly grasped Fu Qianyu's hand, and said sternly, "You don't need to tell me about this matter. I will give you an explanation."
Fu Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yuancheng hadn't sat down for a moment when Zhu Yu stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue requests an audience."
"knew."
Zhao Yuancheng raised his hand and gently stroked Fu Qianyu's cheek, saying softly, "Rest well. I will come to see you later."
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
Watching Zhao Yuancheng leave, a faint light flashed in Fu Qianyu's eyes.
This way.
Zhao Yuancheng lifted the curtain and walked out, but he never expected that a palace maid holding a basin of water would walk in from outside.
One came out, the other went in, and they suddenly bumped into each other.
All the water in the palace maid's basin was spilled on Zhao Yuancheng.
Seeing this, Zhu Yu raised his leg and kicked the maid hard on the shoulder, scolding her, "You bastard, don't you have eyes? Why are you running straight into the emperor?"
The little maid was terrified and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, confessing her guilt: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Wearing thick clothes in winter, and the water in the basin was not too much, it only wet the outer robe. Zhao Yuancheng did not mind, and looked at Zhu Yu with displeasure: "The Concubine Yi is still resting, what are you yelling about?"
"Yes, I know I'm wrong."
Zhao Yuancheng lowered his eyes and looked at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground and trembling. He softened his tone and said, "Get up. Be more careful next time."
The palace maid stood up tremblingly, her drooping eyelashes flickering gently like crow's wings.
"Are you from Huayang Palace? Why have I never seen you before?"
The little palace maid raised her head timidly, her bright face showing a charming look. After meeting Zhao Yuancheng's gaze, she immediately lowered her head.
"My name is Liuyin, and I serve tea to the Empress."
Zhao Yuancheng just nodded, asked her to serve him well, and left Huayang Palace.
"Your servant respectfully sends His Majesty off."
Liuyin knelt and saluted until Zhao Yuancheng left, then she slowly stood up. Upon closer inspection, she could see a thin layer of crimson at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, like a peach blossom blooming on a branch in spring, beautiful and charming.
But she was so busy looking at Zhao Yuancheng that she ignored Ling Yun who was standing in the corridor staring at her.
Lingyun quickly heard this scene from Fu Qianyu, "Liuyin is quite pretty. Initially, I thought she was quite obedient, so I transferred her to the tea room to serve. I didn't expect that after only half a month, she would become uncontrollable. I guess I didn't know her well enough."
Fu Qianyu smiled faintly, "She is quite pretty to begin with, so how could she be willing to be a slave for the rest of her life?"
"My lady, are you really not worried at all?"
"Before a palace maid leaves the palace, she is ultimately the emperor's woman. You can guard against her, but you can't guard against the emperor's heart. Let Haining find out her details first. Don't alert the enemy."
Lingyun nodded, "Yes, I'll remember that."
"By the way, since we entered the palace, who among the maids serving us has been the most honest?"
Lingyun thought for a moment, "There is one, her name is Pin'er, she is in charge of cleaning in our palace. Because she is dark-skinned and has a somewhat withdrawn personality, she is a relatively honest person."
"knew."
Haining was quick to act, having already gathered all of Liuyin's details before lunch. "Liuyin's original surname was Wei, and she was the daughter of an official family. However, her father was convicted of a crime, and she was forced into the palace as a slave. She previously worked at the Shangzhen Bureau, and then, when the Emperor ascended the throne, she was assigned to serve in our palace."
Lingyun hummed softly while holding the teacup, "No wonder this girl is so restless, it turns out her family background is there."
Hai Ning looked at Fu Qianyu's face, took a step forward, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, may I take her down?"
Fu Qianyu smiled and shook her head, "No need, let's see first."
"Yes, then the servant will go out first."
After Haining left, Lingyun asked again, "Your Majesty, are we just going to let this go, Princess?"
Fu Qianyu raised her hand and gently stroked her lower abdomen, a cold light flashing in her eyes, "I have already told the emperor that we should not interfere in this matter for the time being. As for what the emperor will do, I am afraid there will be movement in a few days."
Lingyun took a deep breath and said, "I hope the emperor can really give you justice."
When the sunset faded, Zhao Yuancheng came to Huayang Palace. After having dinner with Fu Qianyu, he returned to Zichen Palace to handle official business.
He did not summon anyone to sleep with him tonight. It was not until midnight that a palace maid quietly walked into the side hall of the Zichen Palace.
"Your servant pays respects to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with good health and happiness."
"Get up." Zhao Yuancheng didn't raise his head. After the maid stood up, he asked in a deep voice, "Has there been any movement in Zhilin Palace recently?"
The palace maid knew about the major events that had occurred in the past two days, so she answered truthfully, "Ever since Consort Zhaoyi was poisoned, she has often gone to Fengqi Palace to keep the Empress company. Her temperament has calmed down a lot, but she still curses Huayang Palace and Qiulan Palace in private."
"Well, does she still take the pregnancy medicine every day?"
