The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 67 The Emperor's Tenderness, General Zheng Asks for Justice

"It must be the little kid from the Mu family!" the emperor said directly.

Eunuch Xia smiled and said nothing.

"You old thing, you said you were keeping a secret for others, but your expression has already betrayed you!" The emperor's face darkened, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty is wise. How do you know who I am talking about?" Eunuch Xia asked with a grin.

The emperor stroked his beard and snorted, "It's you, old man, who keeps nagging me every day. I wonder if you thought that the girl from the Mu family had done you any good!"

Eunuch Xia still had a smiling face, and the wrinkles on his forehead were almost twisted into a flower.

The emperor was busy reading the memorials, while Eunuch Xia instructed the palace maid to make tea and bring it to the emperor.

The emperor started yawning just after reading a few memorials. He hadn't slept well recently because of the epidemic in the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Your Majesty, which lady's palace do you want to take a rest in? I'll go and prepare first!" Eunuch Xia asked tactfully.

Upon hearing this, the emperor put down the memorial, slowly stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Fengqing Palace. I haven't seen the queen for some time!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Xia leaned forward, slowly retreated, and shouted, "Go to Fengyang Palace!"

……

The queen has a gentle temperament, is graceful and charming, and likes quietness. She is rarely seen except on formal occasions. The emperor likes her non-competitive character, so he would seek her opinion on many matters in the palace.

Fengqing Palace is not far from the Imperial Study, and it only takes half a cup of tea to get there.

Outside the palace gate, several golden osmanthus trees were in bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers filled the air...

As soon as the emperor stepped into the gate of Fengqing Palace, all the palace maids saw the situation and knelt down to pay their respects. The emperor immediately signaled to Eunuch Xia to keep it quiet.

Everyone knelt down silently and dared not say anything more!

The emperor entered the room quietly and saw the queen sitting on the couch reading a book.

The queen wore a light blue pomegranate skirt embroidered with hundreds of fairies, dotted with blurred flowers and auspicious clouds. She wore a purple gauze dress with nine phoenixes painted in gold, which looked like they were about to fly. Her long black hair fell like a waterfall, set off by the imperial phoenix jade hairpin and embellished with broken beads and tassels, making her look gorgeous and noble. On her arm was a soft gold gauze with silver threads faintly visible, and the workmanship was very fine.

It was Qinghe, the palace maid beside the queen, who first noticed the emperor's arrival. Qinghe leaned over to salute, but was stopped by the emperor, who waved his hand to signal her to go out.

Qing He obeyed the order and quietly retreated. Eunuch Xia also tactfully retreated outside the door...

"What book is Wan'er reading now?" the emperor whispered in the queen's ear.

Perhaps because she was too engrossed in reading, the queen was startled and quickly put down the book. A smile appeared on her face and she asked in a gentle voice, "When did Your Majesty come? Why didn't you let the palace servants inform you?"

The emperor took the book the queen was reading, flipped through a few pages at random, and said with a smile: "I just wanted to come and see you!"

As he said this, he put the book back into the queen's hands, a look of weariness appearing on his face.

"Your Majesty, please take a rest here for a while!" suggested the Queen.

"Hmm," the emperor hummed softly, took the queen's hand and went to the inner hall.

……

In the main hall of the Mu Mansion, the National Defense General Zheng Xiuming and his son Zheng Peng came to Mu Xun and said that the daughter of the Mu Mansion had injured his son and they wanted to ask for an explanation.

I, Xiuming, was born a military general, and he was able to rise to the position of General Protector of the Nation entirely due to my own abilities. Therefore, he never took the civil servants of the court seriously.

Even though the person in front of him was a prime minister, he never looked at him directly.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward. Zheng Xiuming was drinking his tea, and occasionally he would spit out a piece of tea leaves.

"General Zheng said that it was my daughter who hurt your son. I have four daughters. I wonder which one your son is talking about?" Mu Xun couldn't help but ask.

In his eyes, his daughters were all weak and fragile. How could they hurt his son, a great general, so badly?

He concluded that Zheng Peng had recognized the wrong person, so he spoke arrogantly!

"Yes... yes... I..." Zheng Peng stammered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He only heard from others that he was from the Mu family, but he didn't know his specific name!

"Nonsense!" Zheng Xiuming put the teacup heavily on the table, stood up and shouted at Mu Xun, "Why don't you call your four daughters out and let my son recognize them and find out?"

Mu Xun's face sank, he was very angry. Zheng Xiuming was obviously trying to make trouble. His four daughters were not married yet, how could he just call them out for him to recognize? How could they get married in the future?

Although he doesn't think he is a good father, he is protective of his family and he will never let anyone bully his family.

"It seems that General Zheng came to my Mu Mansion today to cause trouble?" Mu Xun said coldly with a gloomy face.

Seeing Mu Xun's tough attitude, Zheng Xiuming's arrogance immediately deflated half, "I'm not making trouble, I just want to ask Peng'er for an explanation. Besides, my son's teeth can't be whitened!"

As he spoke, he showed Mu Xun the tooth that Zheng Peng had knocked out.

Mu Xun glanced at him and said calmly, "General, calm down. How could my daughter knock out your son's teeth? Your son is a strong man!"

"If my son says so, then it is so! Why are you wasting your words!" Zheng Xiuming said angrily.

"General Zheng, if you continue to be so unreasonable, then we can only go to the capital government to complain! Your son insisted that it was my daughter who beat him, but can you tell me who it was?"

After more than a month, Zheng Peng's injuries had almost healed. However, out of respect for King Yan, he wanted to just let it go.

But his father discovered that he had a lisp and a tooth missing, so he asked him what happened.

Zheng Peng did tell it, but he concealed the part about King Yan.

When Zheng Xiuming heard that his son was bullied, he could not tolerate it any longer, so he dragged Zheng Peng to the Mu Mansion to talk to Mu Xun.

But because Zheng Peng was afraid of King Yan, he did not dare to tell anyone about it, which resulted in him not knowing who had hurt him!

"Tall and thin, wearing a white dress. Hmm, let me think about it!" Zheng Peng racked his brains but couldn't think of any other words to describe him.

Mu Xun was startled. Mu Baiying liked to wear white clothes. Could it be that he was talking about her?

impossible!

Mu Xun immediately denied his own thoughts. His eldest daughter was dignified, elegant, noble, generous, and weak. She usually never went out of the house. How could she provoke a stranger for no reason!

"Master Zheng, what is this? There are a lot of women like this on the street. How can you conclude that she is from my Mu family?" Mu Xun asked patiently.

"She admitted that she is the future Princess Consort of Yan!" Zheng Peng blurted out.

Mu Xun's face changed slightly. He was calm before, but now he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

He had seen Mu Lanfeng's evil nature. Who else could be related to King Yan except her?
