Chapter 8: Catch it all in one place (7)

This may be the only quarrel between Zhu Yinglong and Ma Gu in his life. Since the reason for the quarrel is that the double-player's imagination is too rich, and neither of them has verified the other party or figured out the facts.

Although Magu returned with a cold face, she was not allowed to enter and exit the imperial study room at will. Of course, the emperor was in it, and most of the time there was no problem. The eunuchs who were waiting at the door were also sensible. They knew when to let people go and when not to let people go. Of course, the concubines in the harem would not have enough food to have nothing to do, and they broke into the imperial study room to play, which became an unwritten rule.

"I'm so proud to see Concubine Yi!" The little eunuch saw Magu greeting him from a distance.

"Is the emperor still here?" Magu asked.

"Here, the emperor has never left the imperial study room since he came back from you, and lunch is also used in it." The little eunuch said quickly.

"Can I go in?" Magu continued to ask. If the emperor had any major issues or summoned ministers, she naturally could not go in at will. Therefore, she had to ask first, so she would not make any mistakes at the time.

"Of course." The little eunuch rushed forward to lead the way.

Zhu Yinglong was concentrating on reading the important memorials from the cabinet and the military cabinet. He did not notice Ma Gu's quiet coming. Yanhong, who was standing on his right and grinding ink for him, had to walk over and lean over and remind Zhu Yinglong's ear: "Master, she seems a little unhappy when you come here, and her face is not very good."

Zhu Yinglong looked up and faced Ma Gu's angry eyes. He couldn't help but feel a sudden sudden heart. Except for Lan Rong's affairs, he had never done anything else to be sorry for the harem!

"My beloved concubine, are you back?" Zhu Yinglong still smiled very happily, walked over and reached out to grab Magu's little hand.

Originally, the two of them were happy with this kind of intimate behavior, but this time Magu quietly pushed Zhu Yinglong's hand away, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, I want to say something to you alone."

Zhu Yinglong was a little unhappy, but it might be involved in Li Yao's personal privacy, so he endured it and waved his hand to signal Yanhong and Xu Yingyuan to temporarily withdraw from the Palace of Harmony.

Xu Yingyuan naturally didn't dare to be interested in anything. He lowered his head and went out strangely. Yanhong was originally the imperial concubine, and involuntarily sent a questioning look to Magu. Magu also gave a look of "I will explain to you later". Yanhong then took hesitant steps and withdrew from the imperial study room.

"What do you mean? My beloved concubine can say now!" Zhu Yinglong said.

"Where did the emperor go last night?" Magu asked, staring at Zhu Yinglong's eyes.

"I, I..." Zhu Yinglong hesitated a little.

"Is it my sister Yao's general's mansion?"

"Yes, there is something happening. I originally wanted to go out of the palace to relax, but I didn't want to encounter Fengxue, so I stayed with Li Aiqing's general for one night. What's the matter?" Zhu Yinglong was not the kind of person who dared not behaved. He didn't think it was hiding it from the harem, but just took the initiative and passed on it, and it was always a little uncomfortable.

"Why, please ask the emperor, what kind of room did you sleep in last night?" Magu continued to ask.

"What kind of room is just the guest room in the general's mansion. Can't you sleep in the hall?" Zhu Yinglong had a ghost in his heart. If Ma Gu knew that she was sleeping in Li Yao's boudoir, she might have to mention Li Yao's entry into the palace again. A young man slept in the boudoir of an unmarried woman. Although they were innocent, in this era of ethics and rituals, the reputation of this woman would be damaged, and his identity was even more serious. If it were reported that Li Yao and her unclear relationship, would she still marry?

"In my heart, the emperor has always been a man who dares to act and take responsibility, so why do you have to cover up now?" Magu asked.

"I have always been brave enough to act, why should I hide anything?" Zhu Yinglong made up his mind. Anyway, when Li Yao arranged for him, he said that it was the guest room. He later discovered that it was Li Yao's boudoir, but it was too late.

Magu was a little angry. Since he had done it, why didn’t he dare to admit it? He said immediately: “Since the emperor has already fallen in love with Sister Yao, why not bring Sister Yao into the palace openly? Why should he be so sneaky and gossiping!”

"Concubine Yi, what did you say?" Zhu Yinglong was also a little angry. Why did her husband seem to have an affair with another woman and his wife knew about it? But in fact, he had a little affection for Li Yao at most, and it was still too early to fall in love with her!

But Zhu Yinglong is the emperor after all, and reason suppresses the anger in his heart. Magu is not a jealous woman. Even if she has anything to do with that woman, she will not be like this to him. Moreover, there are more than a dozen women in the harem, even if she is unhappy, it is useless. He has always been aware of the general situation. Why did Magu, who understands right and wrong, suddenly become like this?

"I have nothing to do with Li Aiqing at all. I'd better not make random guesses!" Zhu Yinglong said in an unhappy tone.

"Okay!" A word popped out from Magu Yin's teeth, and there was a hint of red in his pretty eyes. He said hatefully, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, is it because Sister Yao resigned because you don't want her to enter the palace at all. She resigned and left in disheartened?"

"Concubine Yi, you are so erratic. I asked you to inquire about the reason why Li Aiqing resigned. How did you find out the reason on my head?" Zhu Yinglong said angrily. He had no affair with Li Yao at all, but he was repeatedly detained as a bad reputation for being rude, which really made him angry.

"I'm just making trouble. What about the emperor? Sister Yao is deeply affectionate with you and even gave herself to you. You don't accept her. Isn't this the real reason why Sister Yao resigned from office?" Ma Gu shouted. She thought that the two of them had slept in the same bed, so nothing happened. It was also a pity that Ma Gu didn't ask Li Lian'er for confirmation in desperation, otherwise such a storm would not have caused such a storm.

"Concubine Yi, you are talking nonsense and making trouble. If you want Li Yao to enter the palace, I will not be sure!" Zhu Yinglong was furious, and there was a lot of reason in his words. At this moment, he was completely angry when the couple quarreled.

"You, Zhu Youjian, I, Ma Gu, I, I, I, didn't expect you to be such a person!" Ma Gu's eyes turned red in an instant, tears rolled down her clothes, and she stomped her feet and ran out of the imperial study room. Zhu Yinglong was shocked and wanted to chase after him, but considering his identity, he had to let Xu Yingyuan send someone to follow him first.

Today, the hype was inexplicably illegible and completely confused. What did Magu know from Li Yao? This made Zhu Yinglong feel a headache. It was obviously nothing, but it seemed that he really had something to Li Yao. It was so unfair!

Just as she was about to clarify her clues, Empress Zhou Yingning ordered someone to come and send a message. Lan Rong woke up and asked him to go to Kunning Palace to see it. On one hand, Ma Gu was run away from her anger, and on the other hand, Lan Rong, who needed to comfort herself. In order to eliminate the inaction, Zhu Yinglong could only put Ma Gu’s affairs aside and go to Kunning Palace first.

Magu didn't run out quickly, but he started early, so Xu Yingyuan chased after someone but was out of breath before catching up.

"Empress Yifei, you wait for the slave!" Xu Yingyuan gasped and kept waveing ​​behind him.

Ma Gu was also blinded by anger for a moment. When she almost calmed down, her steps naturally slowed down. Especially when she turned around and saw Xu Yingyuan, the fire in her heart was ignited again, and she shouted coldly: "Xu Yingyuan, why are you following me if you are not serving the emperor?"

Xu Yingyuan touched his sweat and said awkwardly: "Empress Yifei, it is the emperor who asked the slave to follow you."

"What did she ask you to follow me?"

"No, the emperor is afraid of you, afraid of you..." Xu Yingyuan didn't know what the emperor was afraid of, so he could not say anything, but it was certain that the emperor had a quarrel with Concubine Yi, and perhaps the loss of favor was right in front of him.

Magu gradually calmed down and thought to himself that the emperor would take Xu Yingyuan with him every time he left the palace in vain. Many of the emperor's personal secrets must be hidden from the eunuch's eyes. Will he really wrongly accuse them? What I just said, including some of the previous thoughts, were all from his own guesses. If he really made a mistake, then this fight would be really worth it.

"Xu Yingyuan, I asked you, where did you go after the emperor after leaving the palace last evening?" Magu asked.

"This..." Xu Yingyuan was a little embarrassed.

"What's the dilemma? I am very emperor's concubine. Do you have no right to know at all?" Magu shouted coldly.

"No, Concubine Yi. The emperor was in a bad mood last evening, so he wanted to go out of the palace for a walk. The servants naturally followed him. However, after encountering heavy wind and snow, they could not return to the palace, so they wanted to find a family or inn to avoid the wind and snow. Coincidentally, we walked to General Li Yao's mansion, and at first..." Xu Yingyuan thought for a moment. This was not a big secret, and there was nothing to tell Concubine Yi.

Could it be that I was really wrongly betraying him? Magu suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart, and she secretly annoyed that she had been wronged by some speculations. Then she asked: "Is that the first time the emperor went to General Li's mansion?"

"This is the first time when a slave is following the emperor, otherwise we would not have been arranged to live in the place where the servants live." Xu Yingyuan said with an excuse.

Magu raised his legs and was about to leave. Xu Yingyuan hurriedly asked, "Empress Yi, where are you going?"

"Go to General Li's Mansion with me!" Although Magu had already believed Xu Yingyuan's words, he still had to go back to General Li Lian'er to confirm.

Everyone in the general's mansion felt a strange feeling about the return of Concubine Yi. Li Yao was drunk and Li Lianer received them.

From Li Lian'er's mouth, Ma Gu confirmed the truth in Xu Yingyuan's words, and also learned why Li Yao discovered the identity of the emperor who was avoiding snow in a small dress. However, Li Lian'er didn't know what Li Yao talked with the emperor in the study. As for why Li Yao arranged for the emperor to sleep in his boudoir, Li Lian'er only knew that the guest rooms in the general's mansion were very simple. The emperor was a body of a thousand gold and a body of thousands of cyclists. He could not be arranged in a hurry. Therefore, it may be for this reason that Li Yao arranged the emperor to stay in his boudoir for one night.

When he heard that Li Yao was sleeping in a simple guest room, Magu suddenly felt a sudden grip in his heart. It turned out that he had really wronged them, and the between them was not as complicated as he imagined.

However, one thing Magu noticed was that Li Yao did not have any affection for the emperor. As for why she suddenly resigned, it must have a lot to do with the conversation between the two of them in the study last night. What did they talk about? This is what Magu is most concerned about now, and it is also the key to solving the mystery of why Li Yao suddenly resigned.
