Chapter 327 Businessmen pursue profits
Meng Yanzhen said nothing, just kept crying. When the emperor came, Meng Yanzhen leaned in Zhao Fangyu's arms, tears falling like broken strings. Next to her was her son who was being plotted against for no apparent reason. As soon as the emperor came in, the mother and son were like two different swords, stabbing into his chest at the same time.
Seeing the emperor coming, Zhao Fangyu silently stepped back and the emperor took his place. Ni'er watched with his own eyes Meng Yanzhen crying bitterly in the emperor's arms.
Unlike his crying, Meng Yanzhen looked good no matter how she cried. She was heartbroken like a lotus weeping dewdrops, and her expression was not broken despite her grief. Her eyes and nose were red from crying, and she was so weak that she couldn't breathe because of sobbing.
The questions that the emperor originally wanted to ask disappeared in an instant, and he only wanted to coax Meng Yanzhen first.
Ni'er lowered his head thoughtfully, and when he raised his head again, his face couldn't help but have the same expression as Meng Yanzhen.
After all, they are mother and son. Even if Ni'er has only learned roughly, he is 50% similar to Meng Yanzhen. The two stood together. Zhao Fangyu retreated tacitly, leaving the place to the family of three inside, and took Lan Ye with him to clean up for Ni'er.
"Ni'er's clothes are clean. He fell so badly, but there are only a few spots of mud on his clothes. He ran all the way to the Queen's Palace. There are many people on the road. I'm afraid there will be trouble later."
"Find someone who has a bad relationship with your queen, and send him as a spy to find Ni'er's doctor."
"To put it mildly, it is better to say that a child does not know the severity of the injury and says that three-tenths of the pain is ten-tenths of the pain."
Lan Ye didn't know the whole story, but Concubine Dan trusted Zhao Fangyu, so she followed Zhao Fangyu's orders and arranged things.
Zhao Fangyu walked all the way to the Buddhist temple where clothes were offered for Ni'er. The temple was deserted and Zhao Fangyu met an unexpected person in it.
Concubine Li was wearing a half-worn smoky pink dress and was kneeling quietly in front of the Buddha, bowing her head and praying.
Zhao Fangyu was only two arms' distance away from her, so he couldn't hear what she said. The non-crazy Concubine Li looked thin and cold, like a puppet that had briefly gained a soul.
She prayed quietly, kowtowed, then prayed again and kowtowed again.
This happens over and over again.
Zhao Fangyu looked at Concubine Li's clothes carefully. With Concubine Dan and the Queen looking after her, her allowance would not be less, so she would not be short of food and clothing.
"How long will your Majesty stay like this?"
The maid replied respectfully: "Until your majesty is exhausted."
When the weather was fine, Concubine Li would come to this small temple to pray to Buddha, asking him to bless her husband to reconcile with her and praying that she and her husband would stay together until old age.
Never parting until old age... Being imprisoned in the palace by the emperor for life as a bargaining chip to restrict Zhou Qinghe, how can this not be considered a promise?
Zhao Fangyu had nothing to say to Concubine Li, so he instructed the maid to take good care of Concubine Li. If there was any problem, she should first go to Yanyun Palace to look for Concubine Dan. If Concubine Dan could not be found, then look for the Queen.
As for why the Queen was placed at the end...
Zhao Fangyu touched the lapis lazuli hairpin on her head, her eyes were too cold.
The former empress would do anything for the Ouyang family, even at the cost of alienating herself from the emperor. The disappearance of Zhou Qinghe's mother might have been the work of the empress.
There is a very small chance that she is unaware of it, but it is more likely that she is standing by and watching or adding fuel to the fire.
Zhao Fangyu had always bribed the Queen. It was too extravagant to have a relationship with such a person. Her own daughter almost lost her life in exchange for her sobriety and a moment of compromise. For such a woman, Zhao Fangyu believed that even saving her life would not make the Queen stand behind her completely.
It was getting dark. When I came out of the Buddhist temple, there was a brilliant glow outside and the sky was filled with smoky purple clouds.
Zhao Fangyu walked through the long alley alone and listened to the ringing of wind chimes under the corridor. The only sounds in the alley were the whistling wind and the sound of silver bells colliding.
Zhao Fangyu vaguely heard someone calling her from behind.
She didn't look back.
In the long alley, there were echoes. Someone was really calling her, and it wasn't just that one time.
“The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit.” The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit.
Businessmen are profit-driven and would hate to go back on their word.
Even if Yang Gushan ruined her business, she would not call him Yang Gushan, but Emperor Ruyi.
