It seems that he is going to report to the emperor. Seeing this, Murong Yun was slightly relieved. She knew that her uncle would definitely meet her.
But at the top of the steps where Murong Yun couldn't see, beside the carved white jade stone railing, the empress in luxurious phoenix robes and her daughter, Princess Murong You came together.
Originally, today she took her daughter to cook some home-cooked dishes to please the Emperor.
As soon as such a major event happened, the Emperor naturally summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures immediately, so there was no time to eat.
However, when the Empress saw Murong Yun below, she had a cautious thought in her mind. She waved her hand and intercepted the eunuch who was delivering the message.
When the eunuch saw the Empress' actions, he naturally did not dare to neglect, so he turned around halfway.
"I greet the Empress and Princess You."
"Princess Yunhua, what does she want from His Majesty?"
The Empress stroked the phoenix hairpin on her temples, looking at the anxiety on Murong Yun's face below, and the corners of her lips slowly curved.
Could Murong Yun, who was used to being domineering and walking around the palace and Liujing like a crab, encounter any troublesome things?
"Back to Her Majesty, the princess didn't say anything. She only said that she had something urgent to do and asked to see His Majesty."
The eunuch who sent the message naturally did not dare to look up at these two nobles, and naturally he did not know that the Empress and Murong You looked at each other with evil intentions in their eyes.
"His Majesty is worried about state affairs now. No matter how urgent the princess's affairs are, it is not as important as Nan Chu, so don't bother him."
The Empress stopped the eunuch with dignity and thought, since Murong Yun was so ruthless in her behavior, don't blame her for causing trouble.
"But, Your Highness..."
The eunuch shrank his neck and said thoughtfully, the princess is also the treasure of His Majesty's heart. Isn't this bad?
But before he could organize his words, the princess next to the Empress had a cold look in her eyes. She elegantly raised her hand to stop his words, and said softly with an unquestionable command: "Why, little eunuch, you also want to disobey the Empress' decree."
The eunuch's legs immediately went weak, and he knelt down without hesitation, begging for mercy with a trembling voice: "I don't dare, please forgive me, princess."
"If you don't dare, then go and ask the princess what she wants from His Majesty."
"Remember, you are not allowed to reveal that I and the princess are here."
The Empress lowered her head and looked at the eunuch below, and ordered in an unhurried manner. Her voice seemed to hit the eunuch's heart, making him dare not disobey at all.
"Yes..." The eunuch stood up with trembling hands, bowed his body and stepped back, then trotted down the steps.
"Mother, no matter what she does, she will leave naturally if she can't see father."
Murong You had confusion in her eyes. As for her mother, there was no need to pretend, so she asked directly.
"You, sometimes in this palace, any news and things you see must be understood in your heart. Maybe it is an opportunity."
The Empress shook her head, pointed her daughter's eyebrows with her fingers, and taught her.
"Murong Yun has been too close to that bastard lately and has taken away too much authority. It's time to kill her with all her vigor."
"She has forgotten that in the Murong royal family who exactly will be the next master."
Speaking of this, the Empress' eyes were filled with cruelty. Murong Yun was initially muddled and knew that it was okay to cause trouble, as it would not hinder her anyway, but if she stood too close to Murong Jia or even helped him, that would not work!
"You are right. Although Brother Xiao is young, he is also the legitimate son of the middle palace. How dare that bastard covet."
Murong You also thought about the previous incident where Murong Jia and Murong Yun were humiliating her by singing and drinking. She was a legitimate princess, but she was ridiculed by these two people in front of the important ministers of the court. It was simply... abominable.
"Besides, King Qi and her have been at odds recently. It would be good if we could use this to win over King Qi."
The Empress had been engaging in intrigues in the palace all year round. She would never be satisfied with getting only one benefit from one thing, and she almost instantly thought of Murong You.
The name of King Qi Murong You has the same pronunciation as her daughter Murong You, and even the words are the same.
Originally, members of the royal family were not allowed to be named like this, but when Murong You was born, the spiritual master divined his fortune and happened to choose this word.
She heard about it in the palace, and immediately sent a message to the then Princess Qi not to shy away from it, so she got Murong You's current name.
Because she wanted to win over the emperor's most beloved nephew and pave the way for her now seven-year-old legitimate son Murong Xiao.
Now that Murong You and Murong Yun are not getting along, it would be a good idea for her to use Murong Yun to surrender to Murong You.
Of course, Princess Murong You also thought about this. She was not comfortable with the overlapping names at first, but after the Empress explained the pros and cons, she no longer cared about it.
When her biological brother ascends the throne, she will be the eldest princess more noble than Murong Yun, so it is okay to tolerate these small things.
......
At the bottom of the steps, while Murong Yun was waiting anxiously, he saw the eunuch who had delivered the message coming down in a hurry. Her eyes lit up with joy, thinking that His Majesty had summoned her, so she hurriedly went up to greet him.
Unexpectedly, the eunuch bowed to her, but instead of welcoming her up, he asked:
"County Princess, His Majesty has important matters to discuss now. Please explain your intention, and I will inform him again."
Again? Murong Yun frowned and stared at the eunuch. Haven't you reported yet?
She almost lost her temper and lashed out, but thinking about wasting time, she still suppressed her hand that was about to move, took a deep breath, and said kindly:
"This princess needs the Heavenly Royal Holy Lotus urgently, so I would like to ask my uncle to give it to me."
The eunuch who was delivering the message was stared at by Murong Yun, and cold sweat began to form on his forehead. When he heard the answer, he hurriedly bowed and trotted all the way up to report to the Empress.
Who knew that the Empress smiled after hearing this. The Heavenly Royal Holy Lotus is a good thing that is made of human flesh and bones. Judging from Murong Yun's burning appearance, she must be trying to save someone.
She couldn't let her have her wish!
"What a nonsense. The Heavenly Royal Holy Lotus was specially prepared for His Majesty. Can it be taken out by a county princess to play with, don't report such trivial matters to His Majesty."
"Empress, this, this is not..."
The eunuch who passed the news had a bitter look on his face and almost cried. Who are these people today? If he didn't pass the news, wouldn't Princess Yunhua beat him to death when she found out.
But this Empress is not easy to mess with either...
What kind of person the Empress is, of course she knows what his concerns are: "Don't worry, I will transfer you to serve in my palace tomorrow, and your benefits will be indispensable."
"Yes...thank you, Empress."
Only after receiving such a promise did the young eunuch dare to agree tremblingly. This frightened eunuch found a blind spot in Murong Yun's sight and continued to stand guard.
