Lu Qingtang didn't take a few steps and looked back at Yu Bai who was following behind.
He lowered his head and wiped his tears with his hands, like a child crying after being scolded.
She walked up and patted his shoulder, "Are you willing to follow me?"
Yu Bai continued to wipe his tears and nodded as if pounding garlic.
Lu Qingtang sighed slightly, "It will be harder to follow me. I have three children, so you are busy."
Yu Bai sniffed, then shook his head, "Yu Bai is not afraid of hard work. I can do any dirty work."
"Okay, let's go back to the palace to pack our things first. Tomorrow morning..." Lu Qingtang said half of his words before swallowing them back.
Where to go tomorrow?
She doesn't even have a place to live.
Forget it, don’t think about it so much now, just take it one step at a time!
The two of them were walking in the palace one behind the other. It was dark now and there were white flags hanging everywhere. It looked a bit eerie. Seeing this, Lu Qingtang felt increasingly sad in his heart.
The first marriage in her life ended like this, which is ridiculous to think about.
Originally, she always clamored to make peace with Mo Zeshen and go out to realize her self-worth. Now that her wish has finally come true, she should be happy.
But why does my heart hurt so much?
I blame myself for being too attentive. I should be more selfish as a person!
Sitting on the carriage leaving the palace, Lu Qingtang looked back at the palace. It always brought her beautiful memories, and she felt a little bit reluctant to let go.
Goodbye, Concubine Shu. I haven’t had time to say goodbye to you yet. I hope you won’t be angry with me...
Her vision gradually began to blur, and tears rolled down from her eyes and flowed into the corners of her mouth.
Lu Qingtang took a bite. It was sour, salty, and mixed with astringency. She didn't like it.
She doesn't like it very much!
The carriage was running on the empty road. Yu Bai, who was driving the carriage, vaguely heard the muffled crying coming from inside the carriage. He couldn't help but sigh.
Although he knew that everything Mo Zeshen did was for Lu Qingtang's good, he still didn't understand why he could be so cruel.
He thought the two were just having a quarrel, but he didn't expect Mo Zeshen to speak so harshly.
Could it be that things were more serious than he thought?
…
Mo Zeshen, who had been sitting in the side hall until midnight, finally stood up from his chair. He took Yuan Lang out of Longqing Palace and went straight to Leng Palace.
Jiang Cai and Concubine Ning are now locked up in the cold palace.
If Concubine Ning changes the prince, the entire Ning family will be implicated by her. In addition, Chongxin Boduo has committed injustice, so the cold palace is just Concubine Ning's temporary residence. In addition, she was always Mo Zeshen's nominal mother-in-law, so it would be inappropriate for Mo Zeshen to kill her, both emotionally and rationally.
Moreover, his target was not her in the first place, he wanted to kill Jiang Cairen.
Jiang Cairen's crime of climbing into Prince Chen's palace was not a serious crime. At most, he would demote Jiang Qingfei to a remote place, but Jiang Cairen could live in the cold palace unharmed until his death.
She slandered the royal blood and was still alive. This was unfair to Lu Qingtang and herself. Mo Zeshen would not make it easy for her.
The Cold Palace is located in the northernmost corner of the palace. It is overgrown with weeds all year round, and there are only two guards guarding the door. As soon as they saw Mo Zeshen, they immediately cheered up and were so frightened that they dared not express their anger.
"There are some things that you shouldn't see. You should also be more discerning and know what to say and what not to say!" Yuan Lang said to the two guards in a cold voice.
The two guards immediately nodded and bowed, and one of them said: "Today is the day of the Queen Mother's funeral. Everyone in the palace is keeping vigil for the Queen Mother. How can anyone come to the cold palace?"
"That's right, the two of us have been guarding here and haven't seen anything!" Another person also echoed.
Yuan Lang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Where are the newly arrived Jiang Cai and Concubine Ning being held?"
"One is at the east end, and the other is next door. There is a wall between them." One of the two guards was busy opening the door, and the other showed them the way.
After the door of Leng Palace opened, Mo Zeshen immediately walked inside, followed closely by Yuan Lang.
Following the guard's prompts, Yuan Lang saw Concubine Ning in the easternmost room and found Jiang Cairen next door.
Jiang Cairen had fallen asleep at this moment, and Yuan Lang immediately kicked in the door and lifted her out of the bed.
Yuan Lang's hands were heavy and he grabbed Jiang Cairen's neck and dragged her out of the room, cursing, "Sleep with your mother, and you have caused such harm to our palace, and you can still sleep!"
If it weren't for what Jiang Cairen did today, the emperor would not have murderous intentions towards the princess, and the prince would not divorce the princess to save her life. The cause and effect of all this is all because of this Jiang Cairen.
But he knew in his heart that Jiang Cairen was just a pawn, and the real mastermind was next door.
What's hateful is that they can't kill her to take revenge now. It's really hateful!
Jiang Cairen's eyes were bleary-eyed, and he was pulled out of consciousness by Yuan Lang. When he was about to scream, he immediately stuffed his mouth with a piece of rag.
She struggled to get up, but was slapped in the face by Yuan Lang. Her mouth was immediately covered with blood, and the rag was soaked with blood.
Jiang Cairen stopped resisting. She crawled to Mo Zeshen's feet and knelt down to beg for mercy. She just kowtowed on the ground and before she could get up, she was kicked hard on the shoulder.
She was kicked so hard that she fell to the ground, lying on her back. She was in such a state of embarrassment that even a talented person, not to mention a concubine, would not be in such embarrassment.
"Bitch, you caused my wife to be separated, and letting you die will be an advantage for you." Mo Zeshen's eyes were full of coldness, and the murderous aura around him kept tilting outward.
Jiang Cairen's thin body couldn't help but shiver. She turned around and tried to escape, but Yuan Lang stepped on her hand beside her.
Yuan Lang stepped on her hand and began to exert force with his feet. He gritted his teeth and said, "You bitch, you bitch, I will send you on your way today!"
Jiang Cairen's feet were shaking with pain. She kept hitting Yuan Lang's legs, but what she got was a kick in the heart from Yuan Lang. He had strong feet and was wearing official boots, so this almost hurt her to death.
Before she could calm down, Yuan Lang picked her up again and threw her into Concubine Ning's room.
Concubine Ning was also sleeping when she was suddenly woken up and screamed in fright. After seeing the person clearly, she immediately became less scared.
"It turns out to be Shen'er. Who did I think it could be?" Concubine Ning's tone was very disdainful.
The room was very dark, and even though Mo Zeshen couldn't see Concubine Ning's expression, he could still guess that she must be very proud at the moment.
What are you proud of?
Do you think Mo Zeshen doesn't dare to kill her?
No, Mo Zeshen really wanted to kill her at this moment, but now was not the time, and instead of killing her, it would be much more interesting for her to watch her family members die one after another.
There was a trace of evil in the corner of Mo Zeshen's mouth, and he said: "Mother Concubine, I was afraid that you would be lonely, so I specially sent Jiang Cairen to keep you company."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Lang grabbed Jiang Cairen's hair and stepped forward, pushing her to the ground and kneeling.
