Chapter 83
"Your Majesty, should we send someone to rescue Miss Li?" Eunuch Liu asked in a low voice, looking at Zhu Jingchen who had been silent all along.
"Is Miss Li in danger?" Zhu Jingchen asked the guard.
"Your Majesty, that person merely locked her in the Cold Palace and did nothing else to Miss Li," the guard replied earnestly.
"Then let's wait a little longer." Zhu Jingchen wanted to know who exactly was daring to kidnap someone right under his nose.
If the person behind this isn't brought to justice, just as he was able to kidnap Li Zhiwei today, wouldn't he be able to eliminate me effortlessly in the future?
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingchen's expression became even more gloomy.
"Send men to protect Miss Li well, and do not give the enemy a chance to harm her," Zhu Jingchen added, his conscience bothering him.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Prince An won't agree..." Eunuch Liu thought to himself, Prince An probably wouldn't agree to let Li Zhiwei take such a risk.
"Don't tell him yet," Zhu Jingchen said coldly, glaring at Eunuch Liu and the guards below.
In the Cold Palace
Liu Ruyan frowned when she saw Moyu rushing back.
"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"
"My lady, the eunuch I sent to deliver the message has been arrested," Mo Yu said with a worried expression.
"What kind of work are you doing? You can't even handle this little thing?" Liu Ruyan angrily slapped Moyu across the face.
"Please forgive me, Master!" Mo Yu quickly knelt down to confess her sins. Although she felt wronged, she dared not plead for mercy. After all, given Liu Ruyan's personality, the more she pleaded, the angrier Liu Ruyan would become.
"Alright, this isn't your fault. Nobody saw you, right?" Liu Ruyan felt that if it was just that little eunuch, he wasn't worth worrying about.
However, if someone were to see Mo Yu's true colors...
Liu Ruyan's cold gaze fell on Mo Yu, sending a chill down Mo Yu's spine.
She knew that Liu Ruyan harbored murderous intent towards her.
She is Mo Yu, but she is not the only Mo Yu.
She replaced the previous Mo Yu and served by Liu Ruyan's side.
"No, I was dressed up as Miss Li and wearing a mask." Mo Yu wasn't entirely sure herself, but she quickly replied anyway.
"Very good!" Liu Ruyan said, and then went into another room in the Cold Palace.
There was a woman there, looking at Liu Ruyan with a frightened expression.
"Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"
As the woman saw Liu Ruyan approaching, she quickly pleaded.
"Useless thing!" Liu Ruyan only glanced at the woman with disdain and did not make a move against her.
"Consort Liu, my lady is Consort Jing." A maidservant in front of the woman, fearing that Liu Ruyan might do something to her mistress again, quickly warned her.
"Just a concubine from the Cold Palace. Consort Jing? Who respects her? The Emperor has long forgotten who she is." Liu Ruyan looked at the woman with disdain.
"It was you! If you hadn't framed my lady back then, how could my lady have been banished to the Cold Palace by the Emperor?" The palace maid Cai'er looked at Liu Ruyan with undisguised hatred in her eyes.
That damned woman! She clearly fell into the lake herself, yet she falsely accused her master of pushing her.
When her mistress arrived at the Imperial Garden, she jumped into the lake and miscarried. Her mistress was convicted of murdering the imperial heir and spent three years in the cold palace.
For the past three years, this crazy woman has been coming to beat and verbally abuse her master from time to time.
This time, they even managed to kidnap a woman.
Cai'er didn't know what this crazy woman wanted to do; she just didn't want her to hurt her master.
After all, she didn't know how this crazy woman lost her child, but the child in her master's belly was killed by this crazy woman in front of her.
