When the prince returned to the palace in late autumn, the holy patriarch asked the princess Shang;

Shang Fang ended the case and committed suicide. Zhang family buried their hatred deep in their hearts.

The loving empress said sorrowfully, ”How could this servant be so bold as to poison the princess for his own personal grudge?”

”Humph!” ”Destroy his entire family and poison his princess for me, how dare you!” The empress dowager said bitterly. Then, he looked at Zhang Le Qi: ”Zhang agreed, it was really hard on you, Zhuo Hui died without justice ah.”

Zhang Leyan raised her head and looked at the empress dowager with a complicated expression. She did not reply, but instead lowered her head once again.

The empress dowager closed her eyes and told the head steward of the internal palace, ”Send me the order. From now on, the imperial prince and his daughter must be extra careful with their meals. No trouble is allowed. Otherwise, the entire imperial kitchens will be involved.”

The head of the Internal Affairs Bureau stepped forward and answered. The empress dowager looked at everyone and said, ”Alright, the mourners are tired. Everyone should go back and rest.”

After returning to the Peace Palace, Rong'er accompanied Zhang LEqi back to her room. There was a strange expression on her face as she remained silent. Rong'er thought that she knew that Zhuo Hui's death was sad, so she consoled him: ”Zhuo Hui's death is really very unjust, this Zhang Gouzi is really cruel, at least he found the person who killed Zhuo Hui, he is dead, Zhuo Hui can also rest in peace.”

Zhang Leyan raised her head and sneered, ”A servant? No one dares to order her to poison the princess?” Then he squinted at Gayong and said in a muffled voice, ”Do you believe it?”

”This …” Rong'er did not know what Zhang LEqi meant, ”The Shang Fang Academy has already concluded their investigation. The results are as such. Sis, why do you need to think so much?”

”Humph!” Who was it that wanted to harm me and Zhuo Hui? There must be someone behind all of this! If you don't let me, then you won't either. ” Zhang LEqi looked forward and spoke with a cold expression.

Seeing the look on Zhang LEqi's face, Rong'er was a little taken aback. He hurriedly advised, ”Elder sister, don't be too worried. Don't think too much.”

Zhang Leyan only sneered and did not say another word.

At this moment, an eunuch called out from outside the door, ”The emperor has arrived.”

Upon hearing that the Emperor had arrived, Gai Rong'er's heart trembled. She missed the Emperor so much, but now that such a thing had happened in the palace, Zhang Leyan needed the Emperor more than she did.

He wanted to go up and embrace Rong'er, but he couldn't. His heart was in pain, and on the way to Shengjing for two months, he was already tired of paying respects to his ancestors, but this kind of thing had happened in the palace. Although he had seen little of this child Zhenhui, he also knew that his daughter was very well-behaved, and now that she had died early, he felt a tinge of guilt in his heart. Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er with a complicated expression. He felt both longing and regret.
