The cold emperor reigns supreme, the arrogant empress begs for a truce.

Chapter 83: Where Did the Imperial Concubine Come From?

Because the emperor fell into the water, the originally planned outing had to end prematurely.

Back at Jingling Palace, Leng Yuling cried out in frustration, "Aaaaaaah... What the hell? I rarely get to go out of the palace for fun, and I'm back in less than half a day."

She picked up a new vase from the table, about to smash it on the ground, when Ziyan reached out to stop her and said in time, "Your Majesty, this is the vase His Majesty sent over after you broke it last time." After saying that, Ziyan let go of her, "I have finished speaking, Your Majesty, you can smash it."

Ziyan has grown bolder, daring to speak to her like that. Hearing her words, how could Leng Yuling dare to smash the vase she was holding on the ground?

In the end, he simply tossed the vase to Ziyan, then sat sullenly in a chair with his arms crossed, pouting, and remained silent.

Ziyan put down the vase, walked to Leng Yuling's side, and comforted her, "Your Majesty, although you didn't get to play for long as you wished, Consort Jing was also there. I guess you didn't have a good time either. Why don't you go out and play with the Emperor next time?"

It has to be said that anyone who can serve the Empress must be no ordinary person. Look at this girl, she has such a sweet tongue and knows how to talk, she only says the nicest things.

With Consort Jing targeting her in the background, she definitely didn't have a pleasant time. However, if it happened again, she might not want to go out with Mo Zhen again.

Mo Zhen is supposed to be the emperor of a country, yet he can't even swim? In the end, he had to be rescued by a woman like her? Aren't they afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?

Thinking of Mo Zhen, she couldn't help but say, "How is Mo Zhen now? I sacrificed myself to save him. If anything happens to him, I'll be really screwed."

"This servant knows that Your Highness cares about the Emperor, so I sent someone to check on him early this morning. The imperial physician examined him and said that the Emperor is no longer in any serious condition. Besides, with Your Highness and the Sage of Medicine's blessing, the Emperor will definitely be alright." Ziyan's speaking skills were getting better and better.

But why does Ziyan keep bringing her and Mo Zhen together when she talks today? The more I look at her, the more I feel that this girl is strange.

Leng Yuling raised her hand and pinched Ziyan's chin, deliberately asking with a lecherous look, "You're talking strangely today. Tell me, is there something I don't know?"

"No, Your Highness, really no," Ziyan replied, blinking her eyes.

Leng Yuling pinched Ziyan's chin before continuing, "If you don't tell me, I won't be polite to you." She was teasing Ziyan by portraying herself as a playboy.

Ziyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing me. I really have nothing to hide from you."

After getting tired of playing, Leng Yuling finally let go of Ziyan, then lay on the table and sighed, still regretting the missed opportunity to go on this trip.

While pouring tea for Leng Yuling, Ziyan said, "Your Highness, there is something I'm not sure if I should say."

"Hmm?" Leng Yuling took a sip of tea before looking at Ziyan and saying, "You really are hiding something from me. Tell me quickly, what is it that's so mysterious?" Leng Yuling pointed at Ziyan as if she were angry.

The latter, however, knew that she was just joking and had already gotten used to Leng Yuling communicating with her in this way.

After hesitating for a moment, Ziyan finally spoke, saying, "The fact that you saved the Emperor has somehow spread throughout the palace." Seeing Leng Yuling's puzzled look, she added, "It's about you giving the Emperor... mouth-to-mouth resuscitation." After thinking for a while, Ziyan remembered Leng Yuling's description.

After hearing this, Leng Yuling couldn't help but smile, thinking that people in this era were really making a fuss over nothing and were quite feudal.

"I'm at a loss for words to describe your feudalistic thinking. Besides, aren't Mo Zhen and I husband and wife?" After seeing Zi Yan nod, she said, "Since we are husband and wife, what's wrong with kissing?"

Besides, she was trying to save someone. Doctors are supposed to have a benevolent heart, how could she stand by and watch someone die? Even if it wasn't Mo Zhen, she would have saved him anyway.

“If I hadn’t taken action, the emperor of your Southern Chu might have been replaced,” Leng Yuling said without any restraint.

Unexpectedly, Rong Momo, who had just entered, overheard these words.

As soon as she entered, she said, "Your Majesty, please watch your words!"

Leng Yuling stuck out her tongue. She knew that her joking remark was considered outrageous by them, but she didn't care. On the contrary, it was indeed she who saved Mo Zhen's life, and twice at that!

She is not only Mo Zhen's empress, but also his savior. She wants to see how Mo Zhen can treat her!

"Isn't that right? Every time he was in grave danger, wasn't it me who saved him?" If it weren't for the fact that Rong Momo was an old woman, she really wanted to fight her or have a big argument with her.

However, she received a high-quality education from a young age, and she understands and practices the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.

Okay, she won't say it, but it's because Rong Momo looks really fierce that she doesn't dare to argue with her.

Seeing that Leng Yuling did not speak, Rong Mama suddenly spoke again: "Your Highness, the Dowager Consort requests your presence."

"A Dowager Consort?" How come she didn't know that the Southern Chu Kingdom had a Dowager Consort? "What Dowager Consort? Where did this Dowager Consort come from?"

-

It wasn't until Leng Yuling followed Rong Mama to the entrance of the 'vibrant and fragrant' palace that she realized, "Could this be the legendary palace of the Dowager Consort?" But Ziyan said that even she didn't know who lived here.

"Why would the Dowager Consort live here?" No matter how Leng Yuling asked, Rong Mama didn't answer. She just led her inside. Looking at the gloomy palace, Leng Yuling felt very repulsed. Before going in, she grabbed Rong Mama's arm. "Rong Mama, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Could it be because she said something that offended Mo Zhen or Rong Momo, so Rong Momo brought her here to destroy the evidence?

The next moment, just as she was about to turn and leave, Rong Momo grabbed her arm and pulled her inside.

Leng Yuling basically kept her eyes closed as she entered, because she had always been terrified of horror movies, and this courtyard was clearly just like one.

"We've arrived, Your Highness." Only when Rong Mama's voice rang out did she open her eyes, but the scene before her was different from what she had imagined outside.

The interior is incredibly luxurious, completely undetectable from the overgrown environment outside. If she hadn't come in herself, she would never have believed that it was such a paradise on earth.

"Didn't you say the Imperial Concubine wanted to see me? Where is she now?"

No sooner had Leng Yuling finished speaking than a voice came from not far away: "I am here."

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman dressed in simple clothes walking slowly towards her. If she was shocked when she saw the original owner's face, then the face of the woman in front of her was unexpected.
