Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Mu Wanwan knew that the Empress Dowager's call for her was not for anything good, but she did not expect that the Empress Dowager would not bring up the matter of sending all the modern things back to her a few days ago, but would ask about Zhenying.

When the Empress Dowager looked at Mu Wanwan, she couldn't help but wipe away the tears that had fallen from her eyes.

"Your Majesty, how could your father let Zhenying's father go to Xicheng Kingdom for so long and forget about him? How could the people of Xicheng Kingdom let Zhenying go after he was discovered? All the family members he brought with him are dead."

Mu Wanwan was completely unprepared; all she had prepared for was why she had to send everything back to the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what business Zhenying's father has with my father."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but show a sorrowful expression on her face in front of the palace maids who were serving her.

"So you've already forgotten your daughter."

The Empress Dowager knew perfectly well that Mu Wanwan knew nothing at all; she was just preoccupied with her own heartbreak.

The other palace maids present were also moved to tears by the Empress Dowager's sorrowful appearance.

"Empress, kneel down! I need to ask the Emperor if he would not punish an empress like this!"

When Liang Yu arrived, he saw the Empress kneeling on the ground.

The palace maids and eunuchs around them all had red eyes, as if they had all been crying.

He already knew what was going on when he arrived.

He remembered a rumor from when he was young.

The Empress of Xu Kingdom is someone to be respected and cared for; to treat the Empress badly is to treat Xu Kingdom badly.

He knew perfectly well what kind of person his mother was.

The whole charade we've put on today certainly wasn't just about getting him to make the decision.

"Your Majesty, look at your Empress..."

Liang Yu noticed that Zhenying had arrived.

So today's play is for Zhenying to see.

Zhenying stood not far away, just watching.

Liang Yu looked around and saw that the people around him were staring at him with a hint of inquiry.

At this moment, Cheng Yunmo suddenly appeared.

When everyone saw Cheng Yunmo appear, they quickly and respectfully bowed.

After all, Cheng Yunmo's current identity is that of the Imperial Preceptor's female disciple.

The Empress Dowager frowned; Cheng Yunmo had arrived quickly.

"How did you come."

The Empress Dowager asked, clearly somewhat displeased.

Cheng Yunmo took a deep breath, and Lord Liu, who was following closely behind him, also appeared.

The Empress Dowager was even more annoyed when she saw this.

Just as I suspected, no wonder Cheng Yunmo always gave off an unfathomable feeling whenever Lord Liu appeared.

Pretending not to notice the Empress Dowager's displeasure, Lord Liu bowed to her and then stood at a respectful distance behind Cheng Yunmo.

"Your Majesty, I also heard about Zhenying's situation, so I came here specifically to see her."

The Empress Dowager was taken aback. She had thought that Cheng Yunmo would use his own name to prevent Zhenying from seeking any justice for this matter.

"So, Cheng Yunmo, you've come here to uphold justice?"

Cheng Yunmo shook his head. "Upholding justice is a matter for people of high moral character and prestige. I am not suitable for it. I am here now only to deliver something to Zhenying."

Send something?

The Empress Dowager tightened her grip on the chair. Although her expression was unreadable, anyone who had served her for a long time could tell that she was a little nervous.

Cheng Yunmo took out a stack of silver notes, but it was clear from the notes that they were from a long time ago.

There was also a jade pendant among them, which looked ordinary and unremarkable.

“Zhenying, these are things that Prime Minister Mu asked me to give to you. These should have been in your hands long ago, but someone in the court deliberately obstructed them, and Prime Minister Mu’s men risked their lives to protect them.”

Zhenying looked at these things in disbelief, then picked up the jade pendant. When she saw the jade pendant, she knew that what Lord Cheng said was true.

"Lord Cheng, this servant is willing to follow you."

Cheng Yunmo never expected that Zhenying would choose to follow her after learning the truth.

"this…"

Lord Liu glanced at the Empress Dowager subconsciously; in her eyes was undisguised murderous intent toward Zhenying.

If I'm not mistaken, the Empress Dowager was unaware of what was about to happen, which is why she harbored murderous intentions towards Zhenying.

“Zhenying, you should beg the Empress Dowager. Lord Cheng is short of maids. If he had a clever maid like Zhenying, that would be a good thing.”

Cheng Yunmo looked completely bewildered; what did she need to be served...?

If it weren't for the fact that Lord Liu wouldn't harm her, she would have instinctively argued back.

Cheng Yunmo looked at Zhenying and saw the helplessness in her eyes.

"Yes, Empress Dowager, would you be willing to let Zhenying follow me?" Cheng Yunmo did not let Zhenying beg the Empress Dowager, but asked the Empress Dowager directly in front of the Emperor.

The Empress Dowager knew in her heart that letting Zhenying go now would undoubtedly leave the Emperor and Empress with a useful talent.

“Look at what Lord Cheng is saying. Zhenying is my most capable palace maid. Everyone in my palace knows that. How can you take away such a capable person of mine now? This is unacceptable.”

It's obvious that the Empress Dowager doesn't want Zhenying to go with her. If anyone were to actually take her away now, they would undoubtedly be offending the Empress Dowager.

"I heard that the Empress has returned everything that Your Majesty gave her. I just wonder how much longer Your Majesty can use everything in this palace?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at the Empress subconsciously. Did the Empress also insist on sending Zhenying?

Mu Wanwan couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart, just like how she felt quite regretful after Zhen Yun left with Lord Cheng.

But now he wanted to save Jung-young's life even more, and immediately nodded in agreement.

The Empress Dowager clenched her fists. If that was the case, she had to give the Empress face, since the Empress was already quite dissatisfied with her as the Empress Dowager.

All the modern technology she enjoys in the palace is only temporarily available to her because of the Empress.

"Well, I was just saying it casually. If you really like her, then take her away."

The Empress Dowager's expression was ashen, and everyone present could understand it.

However, the Empress Dowager was concerned about her reputation, and no one dared to say anything to her. The matter ended with Zhenying leaving with Lord Cheng.

Cheng Yunmo was actually a little curious because she felt that everyone seemed to have a special attitude towards this palace maid, even though she knew that this was the most capable maidservant of the female lead.

Although Lord Liu went along, he barely said anything. After he came out, he frantically wiped the sweat from his face.

"Lord Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Yunmo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Lord Cheng, you don't know this, but Zhenying, whom you brought out, is a very lucky person. You'll understand once she's been by your side for a while."
