Chapter 929: Dropping the Matter
By the time Queen Zhao received the news, Zheng Ru had already been sent to the Royal Physician Building in the middle of the night to get treated.
She involuntarily scoffed. “In the end, the king is unable to let go of his Noble Consort Zheng.”
“Your Majesty, you don’t need to feel uncomfortable inside.” Elderly Nanny Huaxuan advised softly, “Zheng Ru is already of the past.It is impossible for her to climb up again.”
“Who knows, if she is able to pull through this time…”
“Pull through?” Elderly Nanny Huaxuan chortled. “Your Majesty is unaware. Apparently, that Zheng Ru’s face has already been completely disfigured from the explosion.”
“Is that so?” Although startled on the inside, Queen Zhao still asked calmly, “What did the king say.”
“The king’s attitude is to drop the matter and stop the investigation.”
“Zheng Ru has left the Cold Palace.”
“As a matter of fact, no. However, the king will probably send an accompanying royal physician to look after her back at Chonghua Palace.”
“Ha.” Queen Zhao snickered upon hearing this. “That’s right, the king has to save face after all. He had just sent her into the Cold Palace on the day of the Lantern Festival, but if he were to take her out after only one day, he himself would also find it embarrassing.”
Nanny Huaxuan was also thinking the same thing, so she nodded to concur. “It’s good this way. Now we don’t have to send people to keep on eye on Zheng Ru.”
“Have our people observe her for a few more days. Transfer them back after she finally behaves herself.”
“Okay.”
“As for the crown prince…”
“The crown prince walked through Chonghua Palace once, after which he returned to the Eastern Palace when he saw that nothing concerned him.” Elderly Nanny Huaxuan’s mouth twitched as she reported.
In reality, let alone the king, even Her Majesty probably thought that it was the crown prince who sent people to do this.
“This child.” Queen Zhao shook her head with affection in her eyes.
The next day.
After listlessly getting up from bed, Qiao Mu bounced up and down several times on the ground.
“Is this… morning grumpiness?” The sound of laughter came from outside the window.
Upon running up to and opening the window, Qiao Mu saw that person clothed in white lazily waving at her from his seat by the stone table underneath the flowering tree.
Bang! Qiao Mu hastily shut the window again. Looking down at how she was not properly dressed, her small face couldn’t help but become slightly flushed.
What was this guy doing running over first thing in the morning?
“Miss! His Highness brought you a sumptuous breakfast.”
“Oh, oh, leave it over there.” After finding an outer robe to wear, Qiao Mu asked Shaoyao while washing up, “He came so early in the morning just to bring me breakfast?”
“Exactly! His Highness came over right after morning court adjourned, so he’s waited for you for some time already.”
Tossing the cotton towel into the water basin, Qiao Mu pattered over to open the door.
“You must have snuck in covertly!” It was more than likely that he didn’t use the main entrance, hence not alerting her father or mother at all.
“Mhm.” Mo Lian nodded emphatically. “I climbed the wall.”
Qiao Mu: … Why was this guy touting this in such a glorious manner?
“Qiaoqiao, come quickly. Today’s breakfast has your favorite honey and shrimp cake.”
After saying so, he took out a food box that was wrapped up in a heavy cotton cloth, keeping the food nice and warm.
“How is it?” Mo Lian couldn’t help but chuckle while watching her eat.
“Why did you suddenly think of wanting to make me breakfast?”
“Is a reason necessary? I just did it because I wanted to make you good food.” After Crown Prince Mo reached out and placed her on his knees, he drew close and whispered into her ear, “Darling, you’re so good to me.”
