Dumb Queen

Chapter 116 The Newcomer's Grace 1
Chu Zheng bent down: "You want to go back to the palace?"

"Yes." Zhuang Yi said softly and firmly, "Now I know how much I long to go back to him."

"But the emperor has already abolished the empress." Chu Zheng still told the truth, "In what capacity are you returning to the palace?"

Zhuang Yi caressed his child: "For this child's sake, he will accept me."

Chu Zheng sighed silently in his heart: "Since you want to go back, you must be prepared."

Even with strong anxiety in his heart, Zhuang Yi nodded firmly: "I will."

They finally set foot on the road back to the palace again.

The news they heard was shocking: Empress Dowager and King Zheng both fell off the cliff, leaving no bones left.

"How could this be?" Zhuang Yi asked Chu Zheng in astonishment.

"It seems that things are really strange." Chu Zheng pondered for a while, then went to Fu Junsheng's mansion.

When Fu Junsheng saw Chu Zheng and Zhuang Yi, he thought he was mistaken, and his face suddenly changed: "Empress? King Zheng?"

"Commander Fu must have guessed why this king came to you." Chu Zheng asked him, "Why do everyone say that the empress and this king are dead?"

Fu Junsheng knelt down with a plop: "Neither the king nor the empress died, which is really unexpected. At that time, the emperor heard that there was an accident on the road, and he was very anxious. He sent people to search everywhere but failed. Who knows..."

Chu Zheng said coldly: "It's only half a month before and after, so you can conclude that we are dead?"

Fu Junsheng looked at the two in embarrassment: "There was really no news at the time, and the emperor was getting more and more depressed every day. And... now in the palace..."

Chu Zheng looked at Zhuang Yi: "How is the palace now?"

Fu Junsheng looked at Zhuang Yi: "Like, it's too similar. The concubine Qi in the palace is exactly the same as the empress."

"What?" Both Chu Zheng and Zhuang Yi couldn't believe it, "What did you say?"

Fu Junsheng began to stammer: "Then...then... that concubine Qi was met by the emperor on the way to find the empress. At that time, the emperor always thought she was the empress, but Concubine Qi insisted that she was only Qi Ruosong."
