The Empress's Special Favor: The Prime Minister and His Excellency are Offenders

12 Confession
"You go down first, Mr. Zheng has something to say, thank you and agree." Zheng Zhiqiu's assistant Zhao Kui said to the female prison guard,
"Yes." The female jailer exited the room and closed the prison door.

"So, on the night of the Concubine Conferment Ceremony, you did see Imperial Physician Chu enter Wanbi's room, but Imperial Physician Chu never came out?" Zheng Zhiqiu asked pleasantly,
Xie promised not to know that Zheng Wan'er was Zheng Zhiqiu's daughter,
"It's absolutely true, I swear by this servant." Xie promised to stretch out his right hand to make an oath,

"Why do you want to have trouble with Concubine Wan? Who do you belong to?" Zheng Zhiqiu asked straight to the point,
"The servant girl is just jealous of Concubine Wan's beauty, and worried about her wealth and honor when she becomes a servant girl in the future," Xie promised to answer,

Zheng Zhiqiu gave his assistant Zhao Kui a look, Zhao Kui understood and went out,

"I'll give you another chance to tell me who you are. After Assistant Kui comes back, you won't be as comfortable as you are now." Zheng Zhiqiu was still amiable, with a persuasive look,

"Your Excellency" Xie promised to know what kind of horrible instruments of torture Zhao Kui would bring with him when he went out. She was a little afraid.

"Are you still young, are you going to die for your master? He who knows current affairs is a hero. You have been here for so many days, and you have never seen your master come to save you." Zheng Zhiqiu continued,
"The maidservant is Master Zhang's adopted daughter," Xie promised as if he had made up his mind, hesitantly said,

"There is a registration in the dossier of this coming to the imperial court. What I am asking is, why do you do things?" Zheng Zhiqiu twirled the wrench in his hand, still amiable,

"Slaves are naturally doing things for Mr. Zhang,"

"Jang Keun Suk is too cowardly to plan any big things." Zheng Zhiqiu saw through Xie's promise at a glance,

At this time Zhao Kui walked in, Xie promised to see that he didn't hold any torture tools in his hand, he was slightly relieved,

"My lord, there is news from Ah Hu." Zhao Kui said,
"Think about it first, I will give you another day to tell me who you are working for." Zheng Zhiqiu left in a hurry.

"What did Ah Hu say?" Zheng Zhiqiu asked,

"Before Concubine Wan came to Zheng's Mansion, she was a peasant girl. In Lijia Village on the outskirts of Wudu, she had an older brother besides her parents," Zhao Kui returned,
"So, Concubine Wan is fine. It's the same as what I think." Zheng Zhiqiu had an expected expression.

On the morning of the next day, Mo Qingling announced that he would go to Wuzhu Temple to fast for 49 days, praying for the common people, accompanied by the Prime Minister,
"The Prince Regent is in charge of all affairs in the court, and the memorial can be sent to the Prime Minister of Wuzhu Temple. If there is any emergency, please notify the Prime Minister." Mo Qingling announced,

When the sun came down that day, we set off immediately.

Wuzhu Temple is a royal temple in the Wu Kingdom, which is specially used to pray for the common people.

The main reason why Mo Qingling agreed to Yu Mingxi's proposal was because the women in the harem always played with random encounters and all kinds of seductive eyes, which made her avoid these women all the time, and was so annoying to death.

In addition, she always felt that some people in the court might not be able to hold back anymore. She gave them a chance to get out of the way, and also tempered these officials. If something happened, without her, the emperor, taking charge of the overall situation, what kind of chaos would it be? She It's also good to perfect.

In fact, Wuzhu Temple is not too far from the imperial palace. It is just on the outskirts of Wudu, and it takes about an hour to ride a horse.
Mo Qingling didn't want to be too ostentatious, so she changed into private clothes with the Prime Minister, without any guards, and the two of them rode over on horseback.

"Hey, beauty." Mo Qingling and Yu Mingxi were in Wudu City, and they were not riding fast enough to avoid bumping into people. At this time, a young gentleman riding a horse passed by, and suddenly shouted,
Mo Qingling was dressed in men's clothes at this time, so naturally she couldn't answer,

"Hey, little beauty, why are you ignoring me?" The man rode behind the two of them,
"Master Mo knows this person?" Yu Mingxi asked,
"I don't know." Mo Qingling replied,

"But he's obviously following us," Yu Mingxi looked inquiringly, as if to say that this person was flirting with him again,

"It's possible that Zai fell in love with Mr. Yu." Mo Qingling teased,
"That person was talking about a little beauty. Although I am proud of my beauty, compared to the two of us, no matter in terms of height, shape or age, it is obvious that you are younger." Yu Mingxi was not angry, and countered in a good mood. Anyway, As soon as he thought that the emperor left the harem, he could live a two-person world with the emperor, so he couldn't help being happy.
Mo Qingling took a look at Yu Mingxi. Indeed, Yu Mingxi was more than 1.9 meters tall, so she couldn't possibly be considered a little beauty.
"But Mr. Yu is really beautiful," Mo Qingling said with a bit of sourness. She couldn't understand how a big man could be so good-looking.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived in the suburbs, and the person behind was still following.

Seeing that she was ignoring her, he didn't speak, and just followed behind silently.

"How long do you plan to follow us?" Yu Mingxi turned her head displeased, it was clearly a world of two people, why did a third person suddenly appear.

"Brother, you are wrong. This road is not your home. If you go this way, I will also go this way. We just happened to go on the same road and the same direction. How can you say that I followed you?" "The young man was wearing white clothes. Although it was spring, he was still a little cold. He was a little thin, but he didn't seem to be cold at all.

Mo Qingling expressed envy in her heart, she was most afraid of the cold, but when she looked at Yu Mingxi next to her, she was similar, only in black.

Turning her head around, Mo Qingling saw the face of the person following behind,
Mo Qingling searched her memory, and immediately recognized,

This person is the Prince of Xihai, Hua Kejian, the older brother of Concubine Zhu.

He also attended the Concubine Feng's dinner, so it was impossible not to recognize Mo Qingling.

"Hua Kejian, Ming people don't speak dark words. Since you recognized the identities of the two of us, what's your intention to offend the little beauties?" Mo Qingling said bluntly.

Yu Mingxi naturally recognized the identity of the person who came,
"Little beauty is really straightforward. Ming people don't speak dark words. Hua has taken a fancy to you. She was already impressed by your beauty when she was in Yuelai Inn, but Hua is not good at women. Later, she accompanied her sister into the palace. Knowing that the little beauty turned out to be a man, it would be easy to handle, Hua Mou has not left Wudu for a long time, just to have the opportunity to express his heart to the little beauty." Hua Kejian confessed,

Yu Mingxi's face turned dark, and someone confessed before him. He originally planned to cultivate his relationship during these 49 days, and then find an opportunity to express his thoughts on the emperor.
