808, fear

After getting ashore, Xu Shu whispered to Deng Yarong, then took Yuzhu to the clean room where she was changing clothes and hid. Deng Yarong returned to the hall where the banquet was held as Xu Shu ordered. Sure enough, he saw Zheng Wanli still inside, but everyone around him had already left, wondering if he had arranged to go to the lake. Zheng Wanli herself had already gotten up and walked out, and it seemed that she was going to the lake, with her arms around her, so majestic.

Seeing Deng Yarong, Zheng Wanli walked over with a high smile, "Grandma Qi is here too. I thought you wouldn't come!"

"How dare I not come? Concubine Zheng personally invited the posts, how dare I not come!" Deng Yarong tried his best to endure his disgust for Zheng Wanli. Then she thought that Zheng Wanli was about to be in trouble. Her anger dissipated a little, her tone became much calmer, and she could even squeeze out a disguised smile.

Regarding Deng Yarong's sudden tactfulness, Zheng Wanli thought that Deng Yarong had seen the situation clearly and surrendered to reality, and couldn't help but feel even more proud, "What are Grandma Qi saying? I'm so happy that you can come!"

"Concubine Zheng is happy, I am so happy!" Deng Yarong suddenly laughed, but this smile was real.

This sudden smile made Zheng Wanli stunned, "Did I just said something funny?"

"No, no!" Deng Yarong waved his hand, but the smile on his face became even stronger, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy that could not be concealed.

"Since that's the case, why did Grandma Qi smile so happily?" Zheng Wanli narrowed her eyes and looked at Deng Yarong, knowing in her heart that Deng Yarong had a purpose for a sudden conversation with her.

"Because I saw something very interesting!" Deng Yarong blinked and asked, "Is Concubine Zheng going to visit the lake?"

"Yes!" Although Zheng Wanli wanted to know what interesting thing Deng Yarong said, she still answered Deng Yarong's question first.

Deng Yarong said meaningfully, "I advise Concubine Zheng not to go to the lake. Concubine Zheng has a more important thing now!"

"Oh? What's that? Why don't I know?" Sure enough, Deng Yarong came with a purpose. Zheng Wanli was not happy with Deng Yarong's closed attitude, but she still had to deal with her patience. Maybe she would go to something very important!

Deng Yarong raised his hand and turned away the maid, "You go down first! I have something to say to Concubine Zheng!"

"You guys go down too!" Zheng Wanli also gave up her maid, "Now Grandma Qi can say it, right?"

Deng Yarong smiled and said, "When I was just visiting the lake, I saw a woman in pink clothes coming ashore from the other side of the lake and walking towards the bamboo forest. She also followed an eunuch next to me. I looked at the eunuch who looked like someone next to King Qing!"

"Concubine Zheng, you said that King Qing was fine in the outer courtyard. He knew that the inner house was full of female guests, so why did he let an eunuch come in? He also kidnapped Concubine Zheng's guest. I knew that person, and Concubine Zheng also knew him. It would inevitably make people feel that it was a call, so I won't say it!" Deng Yarong's eyes were ambiguous and ridiculed, as if there were some obscure hints, but he looked like he was watching the fun.

Deng Yarong is from the Deng family and must be familiar with the people around King Qing, so Zheng Wanli is sure that Deng Yarong has not read the wrong person. She is interested in the woman in pink clothes that Deng Yarong said. Who among the guests today is wearing pink? Are they both Deng Yarong and herself?

A man suddenly broke into his mind, and Zheng Wanli suddenly became panicked, "Grandma Qi, please take it yourself, I will take a step first if I have something to do!" After that, she didn't care about the followers who were entrusted with her. She thought the gorgeous skirt was in the way, so she ran over with her skirt.

"Concubine Zheng, please go slowly!" Deng Yarong looked at Zheng Wanli's back with pleasure, and felt very pleased. She hurriedly went to find Xu Shu who was hiding, "How did you know that if I say this, she would definitely go to the outer courtyard to find King Qing?"

"The Concubine Zheng has just entered the Prince Qing Mansion and its foundation has not been stable. She hurriedly held this banquet today in order to stabilize her identity and make everyone in the capital think that she is the hostess of the Prince Qing Mansion. She is so anxious that others can treat her as the hostess of the Prince Qing Mansion, of course, because she feels that she is unable to sit firmly! The palace was rumored that Miss Xiao Liu was going to enter the Prince Qing Mansion, so anxious that Concubine Zheng went to the palace to find the Empress every few days. Miss Xiao Liu finally made a mistake and could not threaten her. Princess Qing would enter the mansion three years later. Concubine Zheng had three years to stabilize her status, but why was she so anxious?" Xu Shu asked.

"Why?" Deng Yarong was not interested in Zheng Wanli, so naturally he would not ponder Zheng Wanli's thoughts.

"Since there is no external worry, it is naturally an internal trouble! She is the only concubine in Prince Qing's mansion, but she is still so uneasy. This shows that Prince Qing does not like this concubine. Prince Zheng is not favored by Prince Qing. In Prince Zheng's opinion, Prince Qing must be someone else who favors him!"

Deng Yarong suddenly realized, "So when she heard that the eunuch around King Qing took the people to the outer courtyard, she became anxious, for fear that King Qing would get involved with other people, but why did you insist that I emphasize that the man was wearing pink clothes? I remember you were wearing pink clothes before, so aren't you afraid that she would suspect that it was you?"

"I just want her to suspect that it was me, and that's why I didn't go, but let you go!"

"You...what are you trying to do this?"

"Because she has always been very afraid of me!" After thinking for a long time, Xu Shu finally understood the reason why Zheng Wanli was so enthusiastic about her marriage today. "In front of the Empress, I had a little more face than her. She was afraid that I would threaten her, so once she realized that King Qing and I might have something, she would never sit still! What's more..." Xu Shu suddenly approached Deng Yarong, "The emperor actually wanted me to be the concubine of Princess Qing at the beginning, and Concubine Zheng should have known this! So, as long as she thought I went to see Princess Qing on her back, she would definitely rush over to stop it!"

So today Zheng Wanli was out of normalcy and was particularly concerned about Xu Shu's lifelong affairs. Xu Shu was curious and thought about it again and again. She always felt that Zheng Wanli was so afraid of her. However, nothing happened to Zheng Wanli recently. Apart from entering the palace, Xu Shu had to suspect that Zheng Wanli knew from the palace maid next to the queen that the emperor wanted to be the concubine of Prince Qing, and this was how she could explain that she was hostile to herself.

"What!" Deng Yarong was stunned, "You... you actually... are so dangerous, so dangerous! Fortunately, it's not you!" Deng Yarong was very grateful, "I would rather break my leg than run for the election, not only because of my fourth cousin, but also because King Qing was irritable and angry, and I was really not a good match!" Deng Yarong curled his lips, it was not good to say more bad things about King Qing, after all, he was the royal heir.
