The news brought by Xue Lin made Mo Rongzhan feel funny, but he did not feel much crisis. Although he lost his memory, he did not become a fool. If his dynasty could be replaced by the empress dowager with a few words, then he would hide in the mountains and plough the fields as soon as possible instead of being the emperor. He was surprised that the empress dowager treated him like this behind his back.
Was he not the empress dowager's biological son?
"Where did the empress dowager learn of my disappearance?" Mo Rongzhan asked quietly.
"Qiu Yaozong learned from a man, and the identity of the man has not been found out."
Not many people could know that he fell off the cliff and disappeared, and Murong Ke and Ye Chunnan would certainly not let anyone leak the news back to the capital. The most likely possibility was that Lu Lingzhi deliberately sent the news to the capital, wanting to take the opportunity to make the capital chaotic.
"You have just recovered from your injury. Go and rest first. I already know what is going on," Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Xue Lin was anxious to report this matter to the emperor not because he was worried that the empress dowager would really usurp the throne, but because he was worried that the emperor would be killed by the empress dowager. Now that the empress dowager was so calm, it seemed that the emperor was confident and was not worried that she would pose a threat.
When Mo Rongzhan returned to the house, Ye Zhen was still soaking her feet. Today, she could not enjoy herself by the stream. Tonight, Jianjia brought her warm water to soak her feet, which was quite comfortable.
"You are back!" Ye Zhen smiled when she saw him, but soon found that there was something wrong with his expression. She asked Jianjia to dry her feet, thanked him and walked to his side. "What's wrong? Who is it?"
"Xue Lin!" Mo Rongzhan whispered, holding her on his lap. Her soft and fragrant body leaned against his arms, and his cold heart gradually calmed down.
Anyone who learns that he was betrayed by his own mother will not be too calm!
Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with astonishment. She knew that Xue Lin was seriously injured and was recuperating. Since he came here at this time, it proved one thing.
"What happened in the capital?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan's cold thin lips slightly hooked into a sarcastic smile. "Lu Lingzhi sent people to spread the news of my disappearance. The empress dowager intends to appoint a new emperor."
Ye Zhen sat up straight in his arms, unable to hide the anger and distress in her eyes. She was angry at the empress dowager's ruthlessness and distressed that he was abandoned by her again. "How could she do such a thing?"
"Perhaps we were not close in the past," Mo Rongzhan said mildly. "Empress Dowager liked Ah Yi more!"
"Did you not treat her well?" Ye Rou was so angry that her fingers were trembling. "If she saw herself as your mother, she wouldn't have allowed you to be bullied in the palace all those years ago. She wouldn't have poisoned your eyes … It's already like this, and she's still not satisfied. Even if you disappeared, shouldn't she be looking for you? How could she do such a thing?"
Mo Rongzhan was amused by her angry look and was no longer angry. He gently rubbed her chest, "Don't be angry. Zhen is not surprised to hear this news. In any case, no matter what the Empress Dowager does, it's useless!"
After he lost his memory, he was on guard against many people, but now the person who betrayed him was the Empress Dowager. She was really sad for him. "I'm just angry. Others say that a mother is strong, but the Empress Dowager is not weak. She just didn't do it for you." Ye Zhen's heart ached even more when she heard his words.
"It was Ah Yi who asked Xue Lin to come to me. He also asked the secret guards to keep an eye on the ministers drawn by the Empress Dowager." Mo Rongzhan's eyes rose slightly, as if he was talking about something happy.
"Ah Yi is a pure and kind child," Ye Zhen said. Fortunately, she was not wrong about Ah Yi. He really loved Mo Rongzhan, his brother. Otherwise, he would not have asked Xue Lin to come to the emperor. He should not be able to persuade the Empress Dowager. "Even if the Empress Dowager wants him to ascend the throne, he will certainly not betray you."
Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile, "You have so much confidence in him?"
"I watched him grow up. Whether in character or in other aspects, I don't think Ah Yi will betray you," Ye Zhen whispered. Mo Rongyi's life was saved by her. She treated him as her own brother. If Ah Yi betrayed Mo Rongzhan, she would be very sad.
"Since he is someone you trust, then I have no reason not to believe him," Mo Rongzhan said with a smile.
Ye Zhen thought of the current situation in the capital. Although she felt that the Empress Dowager could not succeed, she still couldn't help but worry. "What should we do now? What if the Empress Dowager forces Ah Yi to ascend the throne?"
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyes and looked forward. His eyes seemed to carry a blade of their own, so sharp and cold that Ye Zhen felt frightened. "Ah Zhan!"
"The news of my return to the capital has not reached the capital. Since the Empress Dowager believes that I am missing, let her continue to think so." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile. When he looked down at Ye Zhen, the ice in the depths of his eyes had melted, becoming warm and soft. "I want to know what she will do."
"Ah Zhan …" Ye Zhen's heart ached. He let the Empress Dowager betray her. Wouldn't he be sad?
Mo Rongzhan gently pressed his soft pink lips against hers and said hoarsely, "Yao Yao, no matter what others do, you must stay with me. Don't leave me!"
"I won't leave you." Ye Zhen responded to his kiss meekly. At this time, she only hoped that she could comfort him.
"You said that the Empress Dowager used to be very good to you." Mo Rongzhan did not dare to kiss her deeply, fearing that he would not be able to control himself. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger recently. He was careful to hold her, let alone do other things.
Ye Zhen had already felt the changes in his body. She did not dare to tease him again. She whispered about the Empress Dowager treating her like a daughter. "… I don't know when the Empress Dowager began to change to me. After returning from Dongqing, she didn't like me so much anymore."
Mo Rongzhan felt that Ye Zhen's statement was more polite. He was afraid that the Empress Dowager often made things difficult for him. "She was poisoned by Qi Ruoshui?"
"I asked Qi Ruoshui. She said that she never poisoned the Empress Dowager, but …" Ye Zhen glanced at Mo Rongzhan. This was a secret she had never been willing to say. She was afraid that Mo Rongzhan would be sad if he knew. "She just let Ye Yaoyao subconsciously draw out the Empress Dowager's true nature."
"So, I was abandoned by the Empress Dowager when I was a child …" Mo Rongzhan sneered.
Ye Zhen was stunned. "You remember?"
"Ah Ke told me those things," Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
"Anyway, it's all in the past!" Ye Zhen looked at him with a smile. "You still have me as your family. I am the most important person to you. Soon, our children will be born. We will love you very much." "Yes.
Mo Rongzhan laughed and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her mouth. "Yao Yao, how did you make me like you so much? Without you, what would I do?"
