Chapter 304 Do You Know - Xiao Qinshi 31
Although Qin Wanrong had no medical skills, she had common sense. As soon as she entered Ronghua Palace, she found that the entire palace had signs of renovation, and even the wooden furniture had been repainted with tung oil.
Normally, no one would think there was anything wrong with it, and some would even think that it showed the emperor's favor towards them, and also showed the generosity of Empress Cao who arranged the renovation of Ronghua Palace. But Qin Wanrong had read so many palace fighting novels that she could naturally guess that the tung oil might not be pure tung oil.
The Cao family behind Empress Cao is a centuries-old family. No one knows how many secret medicines they have, but if you think carefully about those weak concubines, Empress Cao would generously arrange a new palace for almost every one of them and help renovate it after she was favored and promoted.
Qin Wanrong took the body-building pill and the anti-poison pill, and the secret medicine had no effect on her, but Wenshu did not take it. If Empress Cao really tampered with the palace, then all the palace maids in Ronghua Palace would be affected.
Qin Wanrong didn't want to harm the clerk, but she thought that the emperor would often stay in Ronghua Palace, and Empress Cao should not be so unaware of this. As for suspecting that Empress Cao wanted to poison the emperor, Qin Wanrong shook her head, saying that this was impossible. The reason why Empress Cao was the queen now was because she was the emperor's wife and the emperor was in power.
Empress Cao had no children, and she did not have any help from the emperor in her later years like in her previous life. There was no hope for her adopted son Zhao Zongshi. If the emperor died, Empress Cao would naturally lose power. This would be an absolute disaster for a selfish daughter of a noble family like Empress Cao.
"So, there must be something I have overlooked." Qin Wanrong was lost in thought and did not notice that she had expressed her doubts.
"Beauty, what did you say was ignored?"
The clerk at the side thought Qin Wanrong was asking him something, but because Qin Wanrong's voice was too soft, the clerk couldn't hear clearly and interrupted Qin Wanrong's thoughts.
Qin Wanrong was not angry when the clerk interrupted her thinking. She looked at the clerk's gradually calm face and pinched him with a smile. The clerk was about to accuse Qin Wanrong when she saw Qin Wanrong's serious expression: "Clerk, send someone to invite Liang Duzhi over and tell him that I have something to ask him. Remember to keep it secret from others."
When the clerk heard Qin Wanrong's order, he also put away his expression and nodded seriously. The beauty said that she did it behind people's backs, which meant that the matter of looking for Liang Duzhi must not be known to other people in the palace. The clerk thought about it, gave a few simple instructions to the palace maids under his command, and decided to go and invite Liang Duzhi himself.
Because Concubine Rong was not feeling well, the Emperor was not allowed to go to Ronghua Palace to stay with her. He was in a bad mood. Thinking that he had not seen Concubine Zhao Shu for a long time, the Emperor was planning to go to Guanju Palace to visit Concubine Zhao Shu. Halfway through the journey, he met Zhang Wanyi dancing in the moonlight.
The emperor had not seen Zhang Wanyi for a long time. Now Wanyi's dance brought the emperor back to the day when he first met Zhang Wanyi. The emperor was suddenly filled with emotion, and all kinds of feelings surged in his heart.
"Ugh......"
"Forget it, now that I've met you today, you must have realized your mistake. Come with me!" The emperor forgave Zhang Wanyi's persecution of Qin Wanrong so easily. Liang Duzhi, who was standing by, looked at the affectionate man and woman in front of him and suddenly felt that the smiles on their faces were very hateful.
Liang Duzhi suppressed his dissatisfaction and quickly stepped forward to follow behind the official. Zhang Wanyi came prepared today and naturally didn't want too many people to surround the official, so she acted coquettishly towards the official, saying that she had prepared something special for him and only wanted him to see it.
Deep down, the Emperor still prefers women like Zhang Wanyi's appearance and personality. During this period, the rebound of the lovesickness poison and Qin Wanrong's beauty made the Emperor forget about others. Now that he has left Qin Wanrong and met Zhang Wanyi again, the Emperor's heart is once again filled with Zhang Wanyi.
The concubine he liked had prepared a gift for him, so how could he not agree if he didn't want others to see it? So the emperor waved his hand, signaling Liang Duzhi and the others to stay and not follow him. Even though Liang Duzhi was worried about the emperor's safety and tried to persuade him, he couldn't change his mind.
"Alright, alright, this is in the palace, how can I be in danger. Liang Duzhi, Liang Yuanlang, Liang Gonggong, rest assured."
The emperor clearly didn't mind his "disobedience" and even affectionately called him by his real name "Liang Yuanlang", so why did he lose his loyalty to such an emperor? Liang Duzhi always knew that he could achieve what he has today not only because of his own efforts, but also because of the emperor's appreciation.
In order to repay the emperor's appreciation, Liang Duzhi once made up his mind to be loyal to the emperor forever and never betray him, but at this moment, now, Liang Duzhi can clearly feel that his loyalty to the emperor is fading.
Why is it?
Liang Duzhi just stood there in a daze with a dazed look in his eyes, which made others think that this was the proof of Liang Duzhi's loyalty to the emperor. See, even though the emperor didn't ask Liang Duzhi to follow him, Liang Duzhi still couldn't help but worry about the emperor's safety and watched over him from afar.
"Boss, boss!" The confidant Zuo Yi quietly approached Liang Duzhi. He was a subordinate selected and trained by Liang Duzhi himself, and was the most loyal to Liang Duzhi. In his heart, even the emperor was not as good as the boss Liang Duzhi. Therefore, he was the only one who could see that Liang Duzhi cared very much about Concubine Rong.
"What's the matter?" Zuo Yi's voice was very low, but it still made Liang Duzhi instantly come back to normal from his trance.
"Lady Rong's personal maid wants to see you for something!" Following the direction of Zuo Yi's finger, Liang Duzhi immediately saw the document. He had seen the document as early as when he was in Hanshan Temple, and he knew that the document was very important in Qin Wanrong's heart.
What could have caused her to send the clerk to see me?
At this time, Liang Duzhi's mind was full of worries about Qin Wanrong, and all his previous thoughts about the emperor had disappeared.
"Miss Clerk, what do you want to do with me?"
The clerk first bowed to Liang Duzhi, then stood up and leaned closer to answer in a low voice: "The beauty didn't say anything. She just asked me to come to see you and said she had something to ask you to come over. She also asked me to stay away from others."
Liang Duzhi's heart skipped a beat. He was both worried and excited. He was worried that Qin Wanrong had encountered some big problem, but he was also excited that he finally had the chance to meet Qin Wanrong without the emperor being present.
"I'll follow you right away." Liang Duzhi nodded, called Zuo Yi to whisper a few words, and then left alone with the clerk. The clerk looked back at Liang Duzhi's men who had disappeared in an instant, and was surprised that they were so obedient, and also surprised that Liang Duzhi was so easy to call. She thought that it would take a lot of effort for her to invite Liang Duzhi over?
"Miss Rong, is there anything wrong there these days?"
The clerk couldn't help but frowning when listening to Liang Duzhi's question. There was nothing wrong with Liang Duzhi's words, but for some reason he always felt that his tone was too affectionate when he called her "beauty", like... like he was calling his beloved one!
