Chapter 18: Suspicion

Concubine Zhen's face went from gloomy to sunny, and she only used three words - King Ruiming.

When she heard that he came to say goodbye, the corners of Concubine Zhen's lips curled, loving and amiable, as if she had changed someone.

"Say hello to my mother." Zhuang Chenchen's face seemed to have a smile on his face. The whole person didn't look as gloomy as in the mansion.

"I just discussed state affairs with the emperor and hurried to my mother's place, are you here to ask for peace, or are you worried about your princess?" The corners of Concubine Zhen's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.

Zhuang Chenchen's expression was flat and he didn't make a sound.

Taking the brocade box in Lei Zhen's hand, Concubine Zhen beckoned to Cen Mooning with a smile: "You come forward." ”

"Yes." Cen Muning thought to herself, how could he miss her. It's thankful not to bother her.

Just as she was distracted, Concubine Zhen suddenly took a golden hairpin from her sideburns and put it on her lap. Take out the one in the brocade box and give it to her.

Her heart was pounding very fast, and Cen Muning wanted to retrieve her mother's hairpin, but unfortunately Concubine Zhen had already put the old one away in the brocade box, and her slender phoenix eyes were cool.

"It's still this hairpin, which matches your current identity. You have to carry it with you every day, and remember it all the time. Concubine Zhen's words are quite meaningful.

Does she recognize her mother's hairpin? Does she know the truth about her mother's murder?

"Still stunned?" Zhuang Chen's cold voice reminded him abruptly.

"Thank you for the concubine's generous gift." Cen Mooning retracted her mind and knelt on the ground to thank her.

"In the future, just like Dai Chen, call my mother concubine." Concubine Zhen gave a hand: "Good boy, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground." ”

"Yes, thank you, Princess." Cen Muning's heart was still beating extremely fast, and Concubine Zhen's hands were as cold as Zhuang Chen, without temperature. Even the slightest touch to her skin can bring creepy fear.

"Alright, you guys go." Concubine Zhen looked at Zhuang Chen's eyes, always so warm and loving.

"The retainers retired." Zhuang Chenchen saluted and glanced sideways at Cen Muning.

Cen Muning was glared at by him so bluntly, and she only felt uncomfortable all over.

The two men stepped out of the inner room one after the other.

"Rei." Concubine Zhen furrowed her brows, and her tone was slightly cold: "You said that the Queen Mother chose her to be the princess of Yan Chen, did she deliberately embarrass me?" ”

"More than that." Lei Zhen said worriedly: "Behind her is Cen Xiang, maybe she and Cen Xiang should be in harmony with each other, and calculate our Highness!" ”

"yes." Concubine Zhen threw the brocade box in her hand on the ground, and the golden hairpin fell out of the box with a clatter. "The one born to such a lowly woman must also be a lowly race. Concubine Ben will never allow her to spoil the good things that have happened to Concubine Chen. ”

"Don't worry, concubine." Lei Zhen smiled brightly: "The things in the hairpin can send her back to the West at a time." ”

"Hmm." Concubine Zhen smiled with a cool smile: "Let's wait for it." ”

Zhuang Chenchen had a black face and forcibly dragged Cen Muning into his carriage.

"Temple...... His Royal Highness ...... "Cen Muning didn't know what he was going to do, worried and embarrassed.

"Who allowed you to enter the palace?" Zhuang Chenchen stuck her neck, and her face was ugly.

"The two princesses entered the palace in person, how could the concubines not come?" Cen Muning thought to herself, she was blamed for coming late like this, if she really didn't come, maybe she would cause some trouble!

Zhuang Chenchen's lips were at her ear, and such a close distance made Cen Muning want to dodge.

"Without permission, if you step out of the gate of the palace again, you will chop your legs." His thin lips furled, and his voice was calm and unquestionable.

"Yes." Cen Mooning couldn't help but worry, how could she investigate if she couldn't leave the house?
