Outside Yanxi Palace.
Early in the morning, the palace maids and eunuchs cleaned up the snow that had accumulated throughout the night.
It was a stark contrast to the situation in Jingren Palace.
Zhu Changluo stood outside the palace gate and cupped his fists respectfully.""Zhu Changluo requests an audience with the Imperial Noble Consort.”
"This son of the capital is really shameless.”
"Isn't that so? He was just thrown out like a dog yesterday, and now he's here shamelessly again.”
……
The maids and eunuchs who served in the Zheng family's bedchamber used their master's power to intimidate them. They did not put Zhu Changluo, the eldest prince, in their eyes at all. They pointed and mocked him.
There were even some servants who deliberately discussed loudly in order to please their masters.
The other palace servants were attracted and watched from afar.
Zhu Changluo saw that more people were watching from afar. He lowered his head, and the corners of his lips curled up into a cold smile.
This was exactly what he wanted.
"Zhu Changluo requests an audience with the Imperial Concubine. Even if I am the son of the capital, I am still the son of my father. I beg the Imperial Concubine to give face to my son's filial piety and allocate sufficient charcoal to my mother's Jingren Palace so that she can safely survive this winter.”
"Imperial Concubine, I beg you…"
Madam Zheng stood by the window in the hall and looked at Zhu Changluo's pleading. She could not help but feel relieved.
It was this son of the capital who became his son's path.
She had become a mother who relied on her son to become noble!
What qualifications did a lowly son of a capital city have to become the Supreme Martial Artist?
"Auntie, this is not a good influence. It's better to stop when it's appropriate.”Zheng Yangxing, Zheng Zheng's nephew, came to his aunt's side. He looked at Zhu Changluo, who was begging outside, and reminded him in a low voice,""No matter how lowly the son of the capital is, he is still of the royal bloodline. Now is the time for His Majesty and the courtiers to confront each other. If word of what happened here spreads, the courtiers will have even more reason to oppose the three kings.”
"Auntie, you'd better put on a show so that people won't gossip about you.”
Madam Zheng had been spoiled and spoiled for many years. At this moment, her nephew's reminder made her wake up.
His expression changed and he immediately ordered,"Tell that lowly creature not to shout!”
As she spoke, Madam Zheng also walked out.
Her nephew's reminder was right. At a time when her husband was fighting for the title of three kings for her son and paving the way for the future crown prince, she could not give those courtiers excuses.
"Eldest Prince, the Empress commands you not to make any noise!”Madam Zheng's trusted maid hurriedly walked out of Yanxi Palace and came to Zhu Changluo to berate him.
Not long after, Zhu Changluo saw Madam Zheng walk out. When he saw Zheng Yangxing, he frowned slightly and thought that it was a little troublesome.
However, it was good that Madam Zheng could come out.
Zhu Changluo greets the Imperial Concubine." Zhu Changluo saluted according to etiquette.
Madam Zheng's eyes flashed with disgust as she said coldly,""Eldest Prince, BenGong told you yesterday that everyone in the Imperial Palace is trying to save money, but since you said so, BenGong can't not sympathize with your filial piety. How about this, BenGong will give some of my monthly allowance to your mother.”
"Imperial Concubine is merciful and benevolent!" Zheng Yangxing immediately seized the opportunity to compliment him.
"Empress is merciful."
"The Empress is magnanimous and has the demeanor of a mother!”
……
Although the servants in Yanxi Palace did not know why the situation had changed so quickly, they still followed Zheng Yangxing and complimented their master.
Zhu Changluo frowned slightly.
Why did Madam Zheng put away her previous arrogance and despotism?
For the time being, he had not made any connection with the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
However, Madam Zheng had changed from her usual arrogance and despotism, which made him a little difficult to do.
"Thank you, Empress, for giving me and my son a chance to live.”Zhu Changluo shed tears of gratitude and knelt down to express his gratitude."Empress, Zhu Changluo knows that he, a son of a concubine, has a low status and cannot bear the great responsibility of being the Crown Prince.”
"After we return, Chang Luo will write a memorial to Imperial Father saying that Chang Luo is not willing to be the Crown Prince.”
" When the courtiers choose the Crown Prince, they first choose the virtuous and capable. Fourth Brother is not very intelligent. As long as the Empress teaches him a little, Fourth Brother's talent and virtue will definitely be able to convince the lords of the outer court…"
"Shut up!" Madam Zheng had been suppressing her disgust for Zhu Changluo and came out to put on an act. After hearing this, before Zhu Changluo could finish, a sharp and angry voice sounded,"You lowly son of the capital, my son is more talented than you!”
"Slap this lowly creature!”
Madam Zheng was furious. Zhu Changluo's words seemed to imply that her son was not supported by most of the courtiers because he was not virtuous enough!
Her son was not even comparable to a son of a capital?
"Empress, Chang Luo is not belittling Fourth Brother. What Chang Luo means is…"
Zhu Changluo explained in panic.
The servant girl of the Zheng family had already walked up to Zhu Changluo, and Zhu Changluo was slapped by the servant girl without dodging.
"Long mouth, Little Green, beat bengong up ruthlessly!”Madam Zheng screamed like she had gone crazy.
Zheng Yangxing looked anxious and hurriedly tried to persuade his aunt to calm down.
The maid waved her hand again.
But at this moment, Zhu Changluo suddenly looked up. The maid saw a chilling smile flash across Zhu Changluo's lips.
While the maid was stunned, Zhu Changluo grabbed her hand.
Clang!
Taking advantage of the situation, he took a step forward and stood up. Taking advantage of Zheng Yangxing's surprise, he pulled out the saber on Zheng Yangxing's waist.
He seemed to be suppressing great humiliation and anger as he roared,"Even if I, Zhu Changluo, am the son of the Gong Family's daughter, I am still a prince. When has it ever been your turn to shout and kill for a lowly servant?”
Puchi!
Before he could finish his sentence, a cold white light flashed, and fresh blood spurted out with hot steam.
Ah!
A sharp scream of horror sounded.
Everyone was stunned.
He could only watch as Noble Consort Zheng's trusted maid clutched her neck.
Zheng Yangxing was the first to recover. He subconsciously reached out to touch the knife, only to realize that it had been snatched away by Zhu Changluo. He quickly pulled his aunt Zheng back and shouted in horror,"Protect the Empress! Protect the Empress!"
The palace maids and eunuchs rushed out while Zheng Yangxing protected Madam Zheng and retreated into the palace.
Zhu Changluo's face was stained with blood, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"Imperial Concubine, you are going too far, you are going too far! I am a prince, and the dragon blood of the royal family flows through my body. You are going too far!”Zhu Changluo shouted like a madman from outside the palace gate. He held his knife and rushed toward the eunuchs and maids who were rushing toward him.
"Bad news, bad news!”
"What should we do, what should we do? The sky is falling, the sky is falling!”
……
The palace maids and eunuchs from the other palaces did not come back to their senses until Zhu Changluo killed his way into the palace. They all screamed in panic.
Inside the hall.
The people who stood in front of Zhu Changluo had already fallen into a pool of blood.
Zheng Yangxing stood in front of Madam Zheng with a pale face."Eldest Prince, do you know what you are doing? Calm down, calm down. It's not too late to stop now. If anything happens to the Empress, His Majesty will not forgive you. You offended your aunt with your son, which is also a violation of filial piety.”
Sizzle…
Zhu Changluo walked toward Madam Zheng step by step. The bloody tip of the knife rubbed against the ground, making a sharp sound that sent chills down Madam Zheng's spine.
The surviving palace maids and eunuchs in the hall were also frightened out of their wits. They trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to move at all.
Haha…
"Can't get past me?" Qing sneered. When have you ever let me off?!"
