She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Although Ye Xuwan knew that Yuandao had a grudge against the royal family, she didn't expect it to be so serious.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had dropped to freezing point, Ye Xuwan hurriedly stepped forward to try to calm down.

"Brother Yuandao, don't be so angry. His Royal Highness didn't hide it from you on purpose."

But before Ye Xuwan could finish her words, she was directly interrupted by Mo Yunzheng.

"No, I did hide it from you on purpose."

Ye Xuwan was ready to beat Mo Yunzheng to death.

No, will you die if you follow me? ?

"Ah."

Yuandao seemed very satisfied with this answer. He snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Of course the common people know. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince wants to, there is nothing he can't hide."

Yuandao's tone was full of distant sarcasm. It was clear that a few days ago they had had a pleasant conversation over wine.

With such a contrast, how could Mo Yunzheng be happy?

"If your Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do, please leave as soon as possible. I'm afraid that my humble abode will dirty His Highness the Crown Prince's body."

Yuandao turned his head away, unwilling to even look at Mo Yunzheng.

Ye Xuwan frowned. She was about to say something but was stopped by Mo Yunzheng.

"Three years ago, I met Brother Yuan Dao in the market. That day I sneaked out of the palace to look for accomplices, and happened to meet Brother Yuan Dao who was traveling. We hit it off immediately, and we became good friends who share the same goals and have fun over wine."

"I didn't know your identity until we got acquainted, Yuandao, I don't want to lie to you, but I can only lie to you."

Yuandao's eyes trembled slightly: "Are you trying to keep me, or are you using me? You and I know it well."

"The current situation is turbulent. What happened in the palace has spread throughout the streets. I know better how many enemies you have and how many people you need to help."

Even if Yuandao didn't say anything, Mo Yunzheng could guess that these were all he cared about.

Mo Yunzheng clenched his fist quietly.

"I am still discussing this with Little Leaf today. If I have to choose someone to trust in this world, it is really difficult. I don't trust anyone around me, but despite this, I also trust you."

"Yuan Dao, I am the prince. I have my responsibilities, but I am also a human being."

Mo Yunzheng didn't say anything, he just said the next sentence and pulled Ye Xuwan away from here.

Ye Xuwan obviously still had a lot to say, but Mo Yunzheng didn't even let him speak.

Along the way, Mo Yunzheng was so taciturn, and his quiet appearance made Ye Xuwan panic.

"Your Majesty, you must be tired today."

Concubine Lin knelt down behind the emperor, squeezing the emperor's shoulders with her long and slender hands.

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly and he seemed to be enjoying himself very much.

"Well... today is busy with government affairs, and I have no choice but to alienate the imperial concubine."

If I had known, Concubine Lin would be the only one with the most number among the three thousand concubines in the harem.

Even if the first empress died and there would be no more queen, Concubine Lin would still be a powerful presence.

Concubine Lin smiled, her tone seemed a little aggrieved.

"I know that the emperor is busy, so I don't dare to disturb His Majesty. When I think that His Majesty will come to my place to rest, I have prepared things early, for fear of neglecting him."

Looking at the sumptuous food on the table, the emperor's brows slightly relaxed. He smiled and held Concubine Lin's hand behind him.

"The noble concubine is interested, and I have prepared a gift for the noble concubine."

After saying that, the emperor raised his hand, and the personal eunuch brought up a wooden box with a green jade hairpin lying inside.

The jade hairpin sparkled under the candlelight, and the lilies on it were in full bloom. Concubine Lin's expression paused for a moment, but she quickly changed to an expression of surprise and joy, as if she was afraid that the emperor would find out.

"I would like to thank the emperor for the reward."

"What did you say? Come on, I'll put it on for you."

Concubine Lin leaned forward, her gauze gown and shoulders were half exposed. The emperor looked at her with squinted eyes and inserted the hairpin into Concubine Lin's bun.

On the second day, the emperor walked out of Concubine Lin's bedroom as usual. Liu'er and Zique were guarding the door. They saw that everyone was there before entering.

On the bed, Concubine Lin looked solemn. She looked at the jade hairpin in her hand expressionlessly, then frowned and shut it in the jewelry box.

Liu'er stood aside, seemingly complaining about Concubine Lin.

"The Emperor is so busy with everything, he has even forgotten that the imperial concubine hates lily and loves magnolia the most."

After saying that, Liu'er put the jewelry box aside, as if out of sight and out of mind.

Zique stood aside and took the makeup box from Liu'er's hand.

"Your Majesty must have been busy and forgot about it. Concubine, you don't need to take it to heart."

Although she said this, no woman would mind if her husband was so indifferent to her.

After all, Concubine Lin is still a woman. She has been in the harem for so many years and has made a lot of efforts to win the favor of the Holy One, just so that she can have a place in this harem.

Sure enough, she did it, but even so, she was still not satisfied.

She wanted power and the emperor's full attention.

Why has she always been so hostile to Mo Yunzheng for so many years?

Indeed, the appearance of Mo Yunzheng made it very difficult for Mo Qingsong to succeed to the throne. With so many princes, he was the only one who could not compete.

But more importantly, it was because he was the only son of the late Queen.

Even the string of lily and jade hairpins given just now are the Queen’s favorite style.

Thinking of this, Concubine Lin became even more angry. She clenched her fists quietly and did not see Zique standing quietly aside.

Zique approached quietly and handed the wooden box she just pushed away into Concubine Lin's hand.

"My dear concubine, don't be so angry. The hairpin the emperor gave you is still very beautiful. Why don't you take a look at it again!"

Concubine Lin turned around.

"Of course I know what's in this."

"Your Majesty, I took a special look at her. She is really beautiful."

Seeing Zique chasing after her, Concubine Lin lost her temper inexplicably. She opened the box in front of her, and there was indeed a jade hairpin lying inside, but the difference was that the lily had changed at some point. Became a magnolia flower.

The jade hairpin looked less expensive than the previous one, but Concubine Lin liked it very much.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad about this kind of thing."

Zique whispered.

"when will you……"

Concubine Lin was very surprised, and the haze just now seemed to be swept away.

In an instant, Concubine Lin's eyes towards Zique were different.

"Zique went out to the palace to do shopping a few days ago. He saw this hairpin that matched the imperial concubine and bought it back. However, he never dared to give it to the imperial concubine because it was not a valuable thing."

Seeing Zique's appearance, Concubine Lin didn't know what to say for a moment.

She just nodded.

"I like it very much."
