Wei Yanzhou's hand suddenly froze.
Sensing the change in her mood, Ouyang Xi, who was half-crouching, knelt down directly: "I made a mistake, your majesty, please forgive me."
It's still the same as before. Regarding Cheng Ning, no one is allowed to sigh at all, not even Ouyang Xi.
Wei Yanzhou glanced down at her, and then said: "Don't keep your suspicions in your mouth."
"I was wrong. I was just worried about Your Majesty, so I couldn't help but ask more questions. I never said anything outside. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
When a beauty becomes nervous, it will make people pity her.
Wei Yanzhou landed on the ground and let Wang Xi put on his coat without saying anything.
Ouyang Xi was worried, but when he saw that he didn't move, he probably didn't blame him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
The saying "Being with the king is like being with the tiger" is something I deeply understand at this moment.
In order not to annoy Wei Yanzhou, say less and make less mistakes.
But she asked another question: "Has your Majesty dealt with the sweet apricot next to the emperor and the deposed empress recently?"
If it weren't for Xie Nianyao, Wei Yanzhou wouldn't even be able to remember who Tian Xing was.
He stared: "Disposal?"
"I've made a mistake again." Seeing that he didn't look well, Ouyang Xi hurriedly said, "I'm probably in a daze today. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
But Wei Yanzhou stopped and did not rush out. Instead, he turned his head and said, "Tell me clearly, what to do?"
She was just a palace maid. Even the queen's personal palace maid did not specifically ask him about the outcome of his decision.
Since she is a palace maid, she should live and die with her master.
Ouyang Xi just took it out and said it, but he didn't understand what it meant.
"I made a mistake!" Ouyang Xi knelt down on the ground, panic flashed across his face: "It's just, it's just that the day before Concubine Xi's accident, I went to Linhua Palace. At that time, dusk fell, and Tian Xing happened to come from Come out of Linhua Palace."
Wei Yanzhou had never heard anyone mention the matter of the queen's personal maid entering and leaving Linhua Palace.
He looked at Wang Xi.
Wang Xi also said: "Is your Majesty right? Tianxing went to Linhua Palace?"
Ouyang Xi seemed to feel that his words were inappropriate and caused trouble, and Ouyang Xi became hesitant.
Wei Yanzhou shouted: "Say!"
Frightened by his cold and stern voice, Ouyang Xi did not dare to hide anything: "No, it's not wrong. I was in a bad mood that day and walked around the harem, but Tian Xing also took a small path and bumped into me. , she said hello in a panic."
Now that he has spoken, it is impossible to admit the wrong person.
Tian Xing went to Linhua Palace to do what?
Something happened to Ning on the second day. Does it have anything to do with it?
Wei Yanzhou suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, but he didn't think about it deeply because he didn't dare to look into it in detail.
You shouldn't doubt Cheng Ning.
No matter what, you can't doubt Cheng Ning.
Ouyang Xi was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe, and kowtowed on the ground: "I'm the one who talks too much. I just had the intention of testing you. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
This time I didn't even dare to beg for mercy.
Everyone in Liyue Palace knelt down in one piece.
Although he didn't dare to look at Wei Yanzhou's face, the aura exuding from His Majesty the Emperor was very much like being on the verge of rage.
At this time, Wang Xi had no choice but to step forward and persuade her: "Your Majesty, you are just a little palace maid, and you are the one who deposed the queen. What you say cannot be trusted."
But he didn't dare to let Wei Yanzhou find someone to come and confront him.
Because even Wang Xi knows that it is not difficult to investigate this matter. If you really ask about the traces of a palace maid, the answer will be available in less than a quarter of an hour.
But what if Tian Xing really goes to Linhua Palace?
There are some things, every detail, that seem to be magnified at this moment.
But it passed so quickly that it was hard to catch it.
Wang Xi didn't dare to look at Wei Yanzhou's expression.
After a long time, Wei Yanzhou turned around and left without saying a word.
After he left, Ouyang Xi's body went limp. Fortunately, Yin Yin held him up from falling.
Yinyin was extremely frightened: "Empress...will your Majesty——"
Will she investigate? Will she think her mother-in-law has ulterior motives?
"He is too keen," Ouyang Xi's lips turned pale: "I can only venture to say this."
Then, she smiled coldly, with a bit of compassion and self-deprecation: "Do you think he can bear it and not check it out?"
"Didn't Tianxing say it herself when we asked her that day that she wanted to surrender to Concubine Xi? Concubine Xi knew that there was something wrong with the plum dew, but she still drank it. If His Majesty knew about this, there would be no way for them. "
Yinyin helped Ouyang Xi to the couch and whispered.
So what if the emperor's heir was saved in an extremely thrilling way? Ten months of pregnancy is a long time, and there are many opportunities for complications.
Ouyang Xi saw her face in the bronze mirror and gently stroked her cheek: "You can't survive in this palace relying on true love."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is very kind to your Majesty. In terms of sincerity, Concubine Xi hides more thoughts than all the women in the palace combined. Why should your Majesty blame herself?"
Ouyang Xi in the mirror is young, beautiful, dignified and steady.
She looked at herself, recalling everything that happened after entering the palace, and smiled: "You can only know the taste of the emperor's favor after you have tasted it."
Ever since the day of the New Year's banquet, when Wei Yanzhou suddenly appeared and solved the problem between her and Xie Nianyao, Ouyang Xi had been moved.
She knew full well that Wei Yanzhou was just putting on a show, and his intimacy with her was just for Cheng Ning to see.
But for such a person, even if he doesn't smile sincerely at you, when he holds her hand, what he dispels is more than just ice?
Ouyang Xi felt that Wei Yanzhou was to blame for noticing him in the first place.
But she didn't want to be the star beside the moon. Cheng Ning and Wei Yanzhou had a bad relationship.
The beginning is a mistake, and the ending is destined to be a mistake as well.
And she is not Xie Nianyao, let alone Xie Qingyi. She can get what she wants step by step.
It's just a little slower, but it doesn't matter.
Yinyin must be happy for her master: "Madam, you just tested the Cheng family's affairs, how do you think?"
It can be said that the emperor's expression changed when he mentioned the Cheng family.
But I couldn't tell if something happened to the Cheng family.
Ouyang Xi said lightly: "I only know that my father has spied on it, and the Cheng family was secretly taken away from the prison, but just now, I couldn't see His Majesty's expression."
No matter what, the Cheng family was Wei Yanzhou's rival, and she didn't dare to make it too obvious.
But she still felt something was wrong. Cheng Ning was awake and the emperor was fine, so Wei Yanzhou shouldn't be so sad.
So after thinking about it, she only thought that something might have happened to the Cheng family.
But it won't be easy to find out what Wei Yanzhou wants to hide.
She still had no news about her father, so she could only rely on guessing.
*
Before Wei Yanzhou returned to Linhua Palace, Cheng Ning had already woken up.
She was not allowed to get out of bed, so she could only sit on the edge of the bed and watch Chunhua embroidery.
Chunhua's female embroidery is of the highest quality, so when she found out that Cheng Ning was pregnant, she decided to embroider a bellyband for her mistress.
"I don't even know if it's a boy or a girl. It's all in vain if you embroider it." Cheng Ning looked at her with a smile.
"The blue and pink ones are all embroidered. You can't go wrong when you're ready, right?"
Cheng Ning went with her, but asked about Wei Yanzhou: "Where did your Majesty go after leaving Linhua Palace?"
