Qiu Hua was surprised to see that her master was unaware of this matter. She had thought that the Emperor had come to see her master to tell her about it, but she hadn't expected that wasn't the case at all.
"Your Majesty, the news has spread far and wide. Everyone knows that the Emperor is going to take a concubine with him, but no one knows who she is."
"I just saw the Imperial Noble Consort, Consort Shu, and Noble Lady Zhang all heading towards the Emperor's study. Mistress, should we also go find the Emperor and ask him to take you out of the palace for a visit?"
For those who always stayed inside the palace, the opportunity to go outside and see the world was something they eagerly anticipated.
So at this moment, the entrance to the Imperial Study was crowded with people. Although there weren't that many concubines in Mo Yuhan's harem, if they all gathered together, and each of them brought one or two maids, the scene would be quite spectacular.
When Mo Yuhan came out, he couldn't help but frown when he saw the concubines outside.
Led by the Imperial Noble Consort, Zhao Furong was overjoyed to see Mo Yuhan emerge. She immediately went to Mo Yuhan's side, looked at him, and softly asked.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that Your Majesty is preparing to go out of the palace for an inspection tour and plans to take the concubines of the harem with you. Is this true?"
When Mo Yuhan heard her ask that question, he glanced at her and nodded.
He deliberately had this news leaked to lure the fish into his trap.
He didn't want a power struggle to break out in the palace, so he decided to resolve the matter outside.
Based on his understanding of King Cheng, he knew that King Cheng would definitely not give up this rare opportunity to settle things.
After all, he has only left the palace a handful of times since he took the throne.
If he leaves the palace this time, and if Prince Cheng has the opportunity to harm him, he will definitely do so.
When she saw Mo Yuhan nod, Zhao Furong immediately volunteered.
"Your Majesty, do you think I can do anything? I am hardworking and will not bother Your Majesty. I just want to stay by Your Majesty's side quietly."
As soon as Zhao Furong finished speaking, before Mo Yuhan could even open his mouth, the concubines beside her immediately started talking, one sentence after another.
A large group of people chattering away was giving Mo Yuhan a headache.
"Shut up!"
The sudden roar startled the concubines, who instinctively lined up in a row, trembling with fear for the Emperor's wrath.
"The Imperial Noble Consort will leave the palace with me; the rest of you will remain in the palace."
Now, apart from Zhao Furong, no one else was happy.
Mo Yuhan did this because Zhao Furong's father was a founding general. Mo Yuhan originally thought that he would never betray the country, but he did not expect that he would be on the list of those who rebelled with Prince Cheng this time.
Mo Yuhan's investigation revealed that the Imperial Noble Consort, whom he thought was a bit thoughtless in her actions, was also involved.
And today's incident was a trap he set specifically for, waiting for those who wanted it to fall into it themselves.
Sure enough, Mo Yuhan nodded in satisfaction. Before he even made a move, the fish were jumping into his cage one by one.
If that's the case, then we can't blame him.
At this moment, in Qianyue Palace, looking at Qiu Hua who was even more anxious than her, Jiang Jingyue was both amused and exasperated.
"Qiuhua, you must believe that the Emperor has his reasons for doing this. Besides, I don't really want to leave the palace. It's the Emperor's freedom to decide who to take with him, and we can't interfere."
Even though that's what she said, Qiu Hua still pouted, looking somewhat unhappy.
She felt that since the Emperor had been so fond of her mistress lately, if the Emperor were to leave the palace, the person he was going to take with him should be her mistress. However, the person the Emperor was preparing to take out of the palace was not her mistress.
"My lady, aren't you heartbroken? The Emperor left the palace without you, but with that Imperial Noble Consort. I'm so angry!"
Jiang Jingyue almost burst out laughing when she saw Qiu Hua like this.
She had no feelings for Mo Yuhan at all, so where did the heartbreak come from? Besides, she knew what kind of man Mo Yuhan was.
The fact that he can't touch other women means that if this man takes Zhao Furong out of the palace now, he must have some kind of plan.
If she guessed correctly, given the level of trust Mo Yuhan currently placed in her, he would definitely tell her the reason why he did this.
As expected, Jiang Jingyue guessed correctly. When Mo Yuhan came over that night, he explained to Jiang Jingyue why he did what he did.
After listening, Jiang Jingyue looked at Mo Yuhan with a worried expression.
"But Your Majesty, this might put you in danger. Could you perhaps have someone else go in your place?"
Mo Yuhan shook his head. This was something he had to do himself, since the Prince of Cheng was looking for him, not someone else.
"Yueyue, don't worry! It'll only be three days. I promise I'll have everything sorted out and I'll return safely after three days."
Seeing that he had said that, Jiang Jingyue nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, you must be careful. Your concubine and the child in your womb will be waiting for you in the palace."
Jiang Jingyue's words gave Mo Yuhan a sense of satisfaction. He had never felt this way before. Today was the first time he had experienced what it meant to have someone waiting for him.
Mo Yuhan couldn't help but touch Jiang Jingyue's belly, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Yueyue, thank you. The luckiest thing for me right now is that I saved you in that alley that day."
Jiang Jingyue nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Your Majesty, in this matter, the person who should be thanked is your concubine. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I should be even more grateful to you."
The two looked at each other and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
"Alright, Yueyue, go to sleep! It's getting late. I'm leaving tomorrow. You should stay in the palace these next few days and avoid going out if you can avoid it, understand?"
Jiang Jingyue nodded. She didn't know what was going on these past few days, so it was safer for her to stay in the palace.
Although the children have all taken medication to prevent miscarriage, it's still better to be extra careful just in case.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! During the days you are away, I will stay obediently in your palace and will not go out. I will only go out after you return."
Jiang Jingyue's words reassured Mo Yuhan considerably.
In this operation, his biggest worry was Jiang Jingyue; he wasn't so concerned about the others.
