Ye Zhen lay on her side on the soft couch. Dai Mei took a pillow and put it behind her waist. It was much more comfortable for her to lean like this.
"Your Highness, this slave sent them all away." Hong Ying came in and whispered.
"Mmm." Ye Zhen responded lazily. For some reason, she felt weak all over and even lost the strength to speak.
She knew that Mo Rongzhan would give the order today. He had already told her yesterday. Actually, she wasn't jealous, she was just … a little tired. He had done so much just to protect her, but she felt that she didn't need such protection.
His amnesia … still had an impact, whether it was on him or on them.
Ye Zhen closed her eyes and entered the space. The little bird was still not here. She would come in once a day, but unfortunately, she did not see it. She probably would not appear until it could be reborn.
Last time in her dream, it said that it was involved in Mo Rongzhan's addicted memories. She really wanted to know what Mo Rongzhan saw.
If Mo Rongzhan had experienced her past life, he would have seen with his own eyes how he forgot her, how he treated Lu Wushuang as her, how he put her under house arrest in the palace, how she was killed by Lu Lingzhi … including the two years she was trapped in the palace … If he had seen all these … Ye Zhen took a deep breath. His mood at that time must have been more painful than hers.
But he forgot that it was her name he called when he woke up.
Perhaps in the depths of his memory, it still affected him. Otherwise, he would not be so afraid of losing her and would want to keep her like a canary at all costs.
Ye Zhen came out of the space and fell asleep unknowingly. She was just too tired.
When Mo Rongzhan came back, she had not woken up yet. She was covered with a thin quilt and slept soundly, but her brows were tightly wrinkled as if something unpleasant was bothering her.
What unhappy thing has happened to her recently?
There was no need to think about it to know what it was. She must be unhappy because he rewarded the harem today.
This little vinegar jar said that she did not mind, but in fact, she must be very sad. She said that he felt sad when he looked at other women, not to mention that he now rewarded so many beauties in the harem.
Mo Rongzhan shook his head with a bitter smile. Did she understand his intentions? He just wanted her to be well and not suffer any more harm. Once he could free his hands to deal with those evil dogs that wanted to hurt her, he would be able to focus all his attention on her.
If he spoiled and loved her wholeheartedly, what would others dare to say?
"Who came to see the Empress today?" Mo Rongzhan walked out of the bedroom and asked Hong Ying in a deep voice.
"Replying to Your Majesty, other than the Young Master of the Lu Family, there was only Miss Zhao and the little prince. Consort Shu and the others also came to pay their respects, but at that time, Consort Shu could barely open her eyes, so this servant asked Consort Shu and the others to return first." In front of the emperor, she didn't dare to show any disrespect to Hu Yue 'er and the others. No matter what, Hu Yue' er was still her master, and she was only a servant.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. "Has the empress slept for a long time?"
"It hasn't even been an hour." Hong Ying said. Looking at the emperor's expression, it seemed that she was right to send Consort Shu and the others away?
"Go down first." Mo Rongzhan waved his hand. At this time, if Ye Zhen saw the proud faces of the women in the harem, she would feel even more uncomfortable.
He couldn't say that it was wrong for those concubines to come to pay their respects. According to the rules of the palace, they should come to thank the Empress after receiving their rewards.
He could only wait for Ye Zhen to wake up and coax her to be happy. There was no need to worry about those women at all.
Mo Rongzhan re-entered the bedroom, sat down beside the soft couch, and gently held her hand. He didn't know why there was such a feeling of anxiety in his heart. It seemed that it had been like this since he woke up in Hua Village. Especially after seeing Yao Yao, there was only a strong feeling in his heart, that is, to protect her. No matter what method he used, he must let her stay by his side.
It seemed that as long as he let go of her a little, she would leave him.
This feeling made him very uneasy. He couldn't lose her …
"Ah Zhan?" Ye Zhen opened her eyes and saw Mo Rongzhan sitting beside her. She didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes were looking at her. She held his hand tightly and called his name softly. Her voice still had the laziness and hoarseness of just waking up. After opening her mouth, she stopped talking.
Mo Rongzhan suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and looked down at her tenderly. "Awake?"
Ye Zhen sat up holding his arm and was supported by him against his chest. "When did you come? Why didn't you wake me up? "
"Seeing you sleeping soundly, are you too tired?" Mo Rongzhan poured a cup of warm water from the side and fed it to Ye Zhen.
"I didn't sleep very well yesterday. I feel a little tired today." Ye Zhen drank the water, and her voice didn't sound so hoarse. "It's dark outside?"
Mo Rongzhan picked her up and sat her on his lap. "The sun has just set. Zhen will accompany you out for a walk. It's time for dinner. Don't sleep again, or you won't be able to sleep at night."
"I don't want to move." Ye Zhen said lazily. She just sat like this, not going anywhere.
"Yao Yao …" Mo Rongzhan rubbed her chest. "Don't hold it in. Don't feel uncomfortable. What are those things? Don't worry about it."
It took Ye Zhen a long time to understand what he meant. Was he worried that she would mind him conferring Hu Yue 'er the title of Empress Shu? She smiled bitterly in her heart, grabbed his hand and said, "I'm fine, Ah Zhan. I'm not as fragile as you think."
Mo Rongzhan laughed in a low voice and kissed her pink lips. After the two of them kissed for a long time, he still wanted to lick and kiss the corner of her lips, "We really want to put you in a pouch and wear you by our side every day. Yao Yao, don't leave us, do you understand?"
"Why should I leave you?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
He didn't know why he was so worried and afraid. Perhaps … she had left him before? Mo Rongzhan had never wanted to recall the past so much.
"Yao Yao …" Mo Rongzhan kissed her again, unbuttoning her clothes with one hand.
Ye Zhen's whole body was soft and numb from his rubbing. It seemed that since she had a child, her body had become more sensitive, and the feeling was even stronger. She clamped her legs together to prevent his hands from playing tricks on her. "Ah Zhan, don't!"
Mo Rongzhan bit her earlobe and said hoarsely, "I'm just using my hands …"
Isn't that the same! Ye Zhen's unbuttoned clothes revealed her round and fair shoulders. Under his kneading, her whole body glowed with the luster of a gorgeous rose petal. "You're bullying me!"
She reached out to grab his mischievous hands, but she couldn't push them away no matter how hard she tried. Instead, it made it easier for him to enter.
Mo Rongzhan buried his head in her chest and laughed vaguely. "Fool, if I don't bully you, who else can I bully?"
Ye Zhen lay on Mo Rongzhan's body, panting. She angrily bit his shoulder a few times and pursed her lips, not wanting to talk to him.
"Are you angry with me?" Mo Rongzhan laughed hoarsely. He carried her to the back of the screen to wash her.
"I'm already like this … and you're still like this. Every time you come, you call for hot water. What will the palace maids think …" It was as if she wanted it very much. Everyone thought that she was trying to win him over even when she was pregnant. Wasn't that very shameful?
Mo Rongzhan let her sit on him, and the hot water surrounded them. "Tell me, do you like it?"
"…" Their attention didn't seem to be on the same point.
"I really hope that time passes faster and the little guy will be born soon." Mo Rongzhan rubbed her shoulder and said.
Ye Zhen didn't want to talk to him anymore. If they continued talking, they would go further and further away.
Mo Rongzhan pressed against her smooth back and entered slowly and gently. Ye Zhen grabbed his arm, her nails digging into his iron-like muscles. "Mo Rongzhan … Mo Rongzhan …"
By the time the two of them came out from behind the screen, the lanterns were already lit outside.
Ye Zhen was held in Mo Rongzhan's arms, and even fed by him.
Hong Ling and Hong Ying, who were outside the side hall, looked at each other. Both of them blushed a little, but they were relieved.
This morning, after hearing that the emperor had rewarded the imperial concubines, they were not not worried. They thought that the empress had angered the emperor. If the emperor did not come to the empress, they did not know what the empress would do.
Fortunately, the emperor still seemed to love the empress.
Inside the room, Ye Zhen was still held in Mo Rongzhan's arms, and their hands were intertwined. "Zhen will accompany you to Chengde Villa."
"Good." Ye Zhen readily accepted his advice. He had already rewarded the imperial concubines. Next, it was time to do what he wanted to do. If she stayed in the palace, she would definitely hinder him.
She couldn't just let people think that she had fallen out of favor.
"Zhen will solve all the things at hand first, and then I will accompany you." Mo Rongzhan whispered.
Ye Zhen didn't know what he had at hand, but it should be very important. "Good."
Mo Rongzhan looked down at the look on her face. She should be able to guess what he was going to do next. Although he was just putting on a show for others, he still felt that she had been wronged. "Chengde Villa has been rebuilt. You can't go out to ride horses, but you can walk around."
"Well, good." Ye Zhen continued to nod obediently.
"Nothing else to say to me?" Mo Rongzhan said helplessly. She promised so obediently, but he was more worried.
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "You can give me a few more delightful young men. It will be good to watch them go hunting. You can enjoy the beauties in the palace, and I can enjoy the handsome young men in the villa. I think it's quite good."
Mo Rongzhan pinched her little buttocks. "You can be angry with me!"
"Bastard!" Ye Zhen laughed and scolded, "If I don't do this, you will worry about me every day in the villa and wash my face with tears."
"I love you so much, and you still blame me." Mo Rongzhan said angrily, hugging her in his arms and kissing her hard for a while. "You know it in your heart. Don't be angry with me, and don't be estranged from me because of some trivial things."
Ye Zhen's ears were almost calloused. She used to worry that he would spoil other women, but now, she was really not worried. "I know, I haven't gone out all day today. Come with me for a walk outside." Ye Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan smiled and agreed.
At this time, the news that Mo Rongzhan was in the Yong Shou Palace was heard from all over the palace, and the mood of watching a good show withered.
It seemed that the Empress did not fall out of favor.
Then why did the emperor only confer Hu Yue 'er the title of Empress Shu?
Perhaps … the emperor only stayed in the Yong Shou Palace for the sake of the child in the Empress' belly. It would take a few days to see the truth.
… …
… …
Mo Rongzhan took Ye Zhen's hand and walked a few laps in the yard outside. When he was about to return to the bedroom, he saw the eunuch in front of him hurrying over and kneeling down in front of him.
"What's the matter?" Mo Rongzhan narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing that something must have happened in front. Otherwise, Chang Baoquan would not have come to the Yong Shou Palace.
The eunuch who answered was called Chang Baoquan, another trusted eunuch around Mo Rongzhan. He knew some martial arts and occasionally went out of the palace to do something for Mo Rongzhan.
"Your Majesty, Prince Wen and Marquis Luo are outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, asking for an audience." Chang Baoquan whispered.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the sky. The moon was already high in the sky. Don't they know the rules? Entering the palace at this time? "What are they doing in the palace?"
Chang Baoquan lowered his head. "I heard that … the people of the small mainland beat them."
"…" Mo Rongzhan smiled when he heard this and looked down at Ye Zhen. "It seems that Yi is indispensable. I will go and have a look first. If it is too late, I will not come back. You go to bed early."
"Good." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. She thought that Lu Xiangzhi and Mo Rongyi were very fast. They only thought of a way to collect debts this morning, and now they can beat people into the palace to see the emperor.
She really wanted to know what Lu Xiangzhi did.
But obviously, Mo Rongzhan would not take her to listen to Prince Wen's complaints.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Prince Wen and Marquis Luo were not waiting in the side hall, but directly kneeling at the foot of the steps. Both of them had an angry look on their faces, as if they would not give up until they saw the emperor. The surrounding eunuchs could not persuade them no matter how hard they tried.
Mo Rongzhan walked over slowly and saw their figures from a distance. He was not in a bad mood. Instead, he walked up to the two men with a blank expression. "What are you talking about? Have you forgotten your identity?"
Prince Wen finally saw the emperor. The anger and grievance on his face were even more obvious. "Your Majesty, please give this subject justice."
"Justice for what?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a faint smile.
"Lu Xiangzhi is too despicable. If he wants money, then he wants money. He actually … actually took away all the things in this official's house. He even said that if I don't return the money, he will confiscate this official's residence. Your Majesty, he is simply going too far." Prince Wen angrily shouted.
When Mo Rongzhan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Marquis Luo. "You also came to sue Lu Xiangzhi?"
Marquis Luo nodded angrily. He thought for a moment and his face turned red. "There is also the little prince!"
Prince Wen did not dare to mention the little prince because he thought that he was the emperor's younger brother, but he was unhappy that he did not say it.
"Oh!" Mo Rongzhan nodded. "Get up, let's talk inside."
Prince Wen and Marquis Luo looked at each other. The emperor is not angry? Does this mean that he intends to give them justice?
"Yes, Your Majesty." They hurriedly kowtowed.
Eunuch Fu, who was next to them, silently lit a candle for them in his heart.
