Ye Zhen lay down to sleep after Mo Rongzhan left. She thought that she would not be able to fall asleep tonight. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she fell asleep not long after. It was already dawn when she woke up.
Looking at the empty other side of the bed, Ye Zhen turned to look at Hong Ling who was preparing to change her clothes.
Hong Ling said with a smile, "The emperor sent Eunuch Fu to come yesterday. When he heard that Your Highness had fallen asleep, he did not come back but stayed in the palace."
Ye Zhen smiled. "Is it raining outside?"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Dai Mei came in with a food box in her hand. "The weather was good last night, but it suddenly rained this morning!"
"It's better if it rains, it won't be so stuffy!" Hong Ling said.
Ye Zhen washed and changed her clothes under their service. When she was about to sit down for breakfast, Mo Rongzhan arrived.
"So early today!" Ye Zhen looked at him in surprise. He was still wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, which made him look more dignified and cold than usual.
Mo Rongzhan reached out and touched her ruddy cheek. "Did you sleep well last night?"
Ye Zhen got up and untied his belt. Eunuch Fu stepped forward to help him change his dragon robe.
"I slept until dawn, naturally, I slept very well!" Ye Zhen smiled. "I'm about to have breakfast. You can eat with me."
"Good!" Mo Rongzhan nodded and went behind the screen to change into a relaxed gown. He sat down beside Ye Zhen. "It's raining today. The road is not easy to walk. Let's go to Chengde Villa when the weather clears up."
Ye Zhen looked out of the window and fed him a small meat bun. "It's a rainy day. Maybe it will clear up by noon."
Mo Rongzhan touched the tip of her nose. "I can't bear to part with you. Don't you know that?"
"Then I won't go to Chengde Villa. I'll stay in the palace with you." Ye Zhen hooked his finger. "You have to believe me, I can protect myself."
"I know you can protect yourself." Mo Rongzhan held her hand tightly and said to her expectant eyes, "But wait until I get rid of those evil dogs hiding in the dark first."
Ye Zhen sighed in her heart and tried to ask, "Who are those people you are talking about? I've never heard you mention them before."
"If it weren't for the treasury account books, I wouldn't have found them." Mo Rongzhan grabbed her hand and kissed it a few times. "Yao Yao, I will protect you and will not let you suffer any harm."
This was not the first time he had said this.
Why did he always say that he would protect her, that he was afraid that she would be hurt? Before he lost his memory, he wasn't this … nervous and worried about her.
"Ah Zhan, I won't be hurt that easily!" Ye Zhen whispered. She had even been a ghost before, and had experienced so many things. If she were to be schemed against so easily, she might as well go and be reborn as soon as possible!
Mo Rongzhan held her hand tightly. "I will personally send you to Chengde Villa today and come back tomorrow morning!"
It still didn't make sense. He just wanted to keep her in his world.
"All right." Ye Zhen had to agree. She would listen to him first and do whatever he wanted. When she went to Chengde Villa, she would also try to find a way to restore his memory. Perhaps when he remembered, he would not be so cautious. Ye Zhen was
Mo Rongzhan fed her the red date cake. "If you find it boring in the villa, it's fine to have Mrs. Lu accompany you. As long as you're happy!"
Ye Rou squinted at him with a smile. "I can do anything as long as I'm happy?"
"Handsome boy, don't even think about it!" Mo Rongzhan said with a sullen face.
"…" She was joking, but he took it seriously. Ye Zhen couldn't help but burst into laughter, her shoulders twitching.
Mo Rongzhan hugged her helplessly. "Well, don't laugh. What if you have a stomachache later?"
Ye Zhen laughed for a long time before she stopped. After being fed a few steamed buns and a bowl of porridge by Mo Rongzhan, she was already too full to eat. "I'm full. I don't want to eat anymore!"
"Then accompany me to read a book!" Mo Rongzhan said, pulling her to the side of the desk, insisting that she accompany him to write.
At this time, he actually had time to practice writing here!
"Ah Zhan, even if you don't take the time to accompany me, I won't be sad!" Ye Zhen leaned against his back and reached out to pull his sleeve to stop him from writing. "Why don't you tell me how many things have you remembered?"
Mo Rongzhan was pulled by her until he couldn't write at all. He had to put down the pen, turn around, and hold her in front of him. "Do you like to pester me to talk?"
"Hmm!" Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. She used to hope that he didn't have to think of it, but when she returned to the palace, she felt his strangeness.
She used to worry that he would not love her so much because of amnesia, but now she knew that there was no need to worry about this at all. He was too nervous about her, which made her feel a little depressed.
Mo Rongzhan put his coarse fingertips next to her earlobe. "I remembered most of the things …"
Ye Zhen rubbed her cheek against his palm. "You just didn't think of me, right?"
He didn't remember anything about her, but when he slept alone in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he would dream that she turned into a soul and drifted around him. No matter how he spoke to her, she did not hear him. It felt like … his heart had been taken away, and his whole body was in so much pain that he couldn't feel it.
So he wanted to protect her with all his might, no matter what method he used.
Mo Rongzhan bowed his head and kissed the corner of her mouth. "I will remember."
"Nothing happened last night, right?" Ye Zhen changed the subject. He couldn't remember her because his memory was confused by his past life. If only the little bird was there, it would know how to help her.
"It was Prince Wen and Marquis Luo …" Mo Rongzhan chuckled and told her what happened in the Palace of Heavenly Purity last night. "It seems that Lu Xiangzhi and Yi are enlightened."
Ye Zhen glared at him. "Isn't that what you want them to do?"
Mo Rongzhan smiled. "It's good to let them practice."
"Are the people of the royal family so easy to deal with?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. Mo Rongzhan was so vigilant that he wanted to protect her like a golden bird. It was conceivable that there must be people in the royal family that he found difficult to deal with.
"Yi is smart. He knows to pick the soft persimmon first." Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. "As for the others, I will let Ke watch them."
Ye Zhen turned her head and looked out of the window. "The rain has stopped."
Mo Rongzhan didn't speak, just held her in his arms. He was even more reluctant to send her to Chengde Villa, which meant that he would not see her for many days.
"I'll let Hong Ying and the others get ready. When the sun comes out, we will leave the palace." Ye Zhen whispered.
"You called Jianjia to the clinic again?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen looked up and smiled. "Yes, although there is Hou Peidong in the clinic, I feel more at ease with Jianjia."
"I will arrange a few more people for you." Mo Rongzhan remembered that Qi Ruoshui easily took her out of the capital. Xue Lin and Wu Chong were obviously not enough.
"Why don't you make an iron wall and lock me up?" Ye Zhen rolled her eyes at him.
