The news that Lu Wushuang was grounded by the emperor was not concealed for a long time. It soon spread all over the palace. Ye Zhen learned the news last night and was not surprised. She was just a little emotional. For a long time, she thought that dealing with Lu Wushuang was the most difficult thing to do. It might take years to make her fall out of favor and the Lu family decline because of her. She did not expect that it would only be a few days.
She remembered that Mo Rongzhan should dote on Lu Wushuang very much. Did he become indifferent just because he found out that Lu Wushuang might not be the one who saved him?
Ye Zhen's mood was a little bitter. She didn't know that Mo Rongzhan cared so much about her when they met. However, she also knew very well that his care was based on his ignorance of her identity as Ye Zhen.
If Mo Rongzhan knew that the person who saved him was Ye Zhen, he probably … would not be so obsessed with her.
Ye Zhen smiled self-deprecatingly and looked into the distance silently at a tower in the distance. It was a tower in the depths of the palace, built during the reign of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty. All the books of Empress Duan Hui were there, and it was also a place that was still intact after a hundred years.
It was said that no one had ever been able to enter that place except for the successive emperors.
"That's the Book Tower." Qi Jin walked slowly from behind Ye Zhen and followed her gaze to the tower. "There are the books of the Hundred Herb Hall in it."
Ye Zhen turned her head sharply and looked at Qi Jin. "Hundred Herb Hall?"
The Hundred Herb Hall that had once produced a Great Divine Doctor? She didn't know that Qi Yanling had a relationship with the Hundred Herb Hall.
"The most trusted bodyguard of Empress Duan Hui was a descendant of the Hundred Herb Hall. Those books were later copied from the place where the descendants of the Jiang family lived in seclusion. If you can see them with your own eyes, it will be of great help to your medical cultivation." Qi Jin smiled.
"Empress Duan Hui is a book lover." Ye Zhen whispered. If not for this, the books in the Book Tower would not have been preserved to the present.
Qi Jin smiled warmly. "My medical skills are all learned from the books at home. If you can have the opportunity to enter the Book Tower, I think it will go to a higher level."
Ye Zhen pursed her pink lips and whispered after a while, "Is the Book Tower a place where students can enter whenever they want?"
"Perhaps it also depends on fate." Qi Jin said.
What kind of fate would allow one to enter that library? Just as Ye Zhen was about to ask, she saw Aunt Cheng coming over from the Empress Dowager's side. "Miss Lu."
"Aunt Cheng." Ye Rou bowed, thinking that Aunt Cheng was here to look for Qi Jin. "Doctor Qi, this student will go back first."
"Miss Lu, the Empress Dowager wants to talk to you," Aunt Cheng said with a smile.
Ye Rou was startled. So they were here to look for her? "Oh, okay."
Qi Jin smiled and patted the back of Ye Zhen's hand. "Go ahead."
Following Cheng Gugu, they arrived at the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. The Empress Dowager was looking at a picture album, preparing to choose several gentle and refined beauties for Mo Rongzhan.
"This official's daughter greets the Empress Dowager. Long live the Empress Dowager." Ye Zhen came in, bent her knees and saluted, her eyelids slightly narrowed, not looking at the picture albums on the table.
The Empress Dowager looked at Ye Zhen with a smile and beckoned to her, "Yao Yao, come here."
Ye Zhen was stunned and walked towards the Empress Dowager.
"Ai Jia knows what happened last night." The Empress Dowager looked at her pitifully. As a person who has lived in the palace for many years, the Empress Dowager could not really naively and ignorantly think that everyone was sincere. She also suspected that Lu Yaoyao would deliberately approach the Emperor, but she could not see such thoughts in this child at all.
Lu Yaoyao's eyes were too clear and clean, as if she could see what was in her heart at a glance.
If she really had a little bit of that kind of feeling for the Emperor, it would not take much effort at all. With her appearance, as long as it was a man, no man would refuse.
"Empress Dowager, this official's daughter was negligent and almost made a big mistake." Ye Zhen knelt down and bowed her head to admit her mistake.
"This is not your fault. Those medicinal cuisines were not made for the Emperor." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "You have made a great contribution by accident."
Ye Zhen knew that the Empress Dowager was talking about Mo Rongzhan's eyes. If she could, she did not want such a mistake at all.
"It's good enough that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor do not blame this official's daughter. How dare this official claim credit?" Ye Zhen whispered.
The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "Yao Yao, is it good for Ai Jia to bestow you the title of princess?"
Ye Zhen raised her head and looked at the Empress Dowager in surprise. "Empress Dowager … This … this official's daughter does not deserve a reward without merit …"
If she had the title of princess, would it be easier for her to take revenge? However, once Lu Wushuang regained her favor in the future, she would be more vigilant against her and would never let her go.
There are advantages and disadvantages to being a princess.
"How can you have no merit? If it weren't for you, the little prince's medicine would have been useless." The Empress Dowager said.
Ye Zhen whispered, "But the little prince has already given me twenty thousand taels."
Although her spirit spring water may be more than twenty thousand taels, she did not want to make any contribution by treating Mo Rongyi. She just wanted to repay the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager laughed when she heard this. "He deserved to lose the twenty thousand taels to you, not Ai Jia."
Ye Zhen smiled shyly. "Empress Dowager, if I become a princess … can I still enter the palace as a doctor in the future?"
"You want to be a doctor?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. "How can the status of a doctor compare to that of a princess?"
If she only wanted to be a princess, how could she live in the palace? If she did not live in the palace, how could she settle accounts?
"Empress Dowager, I still don't want to be a princess. I hope to be a female medical officer in the future, so that everything I have learned can be put to use." Ye Zhen said innocently.
The Empress Dowager laughed and scolded, "What a silly child. Tell Ai Jia, why do you want to be a female medical officer?"
"I want to prove that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. What a man can do, a woman can also do." When Ye Zhen finished, she looked at the Empress Dowager with a blush, as if afraid that saying such a thing would make the Empress Dowager unhappy.
The Empress Dowager only froze for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "Well, Ai Jia will wait for Yao Yao to enter the palace as a female medical officer in the future."
Ye Zhen smiled. "Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Although the title of a princess would make her status much more noble, what she needed now was not a noble identity, but an identity that could facilitate her to do things.
She wanted to destroy the Lu family and make Mo Rongzhan lose everything he had today. These were not things that could be done with a noble identity. How could she avenge herself?
Ye Zhen still could not think of a more convenient way. She could only take one step at a time. Maybe there would be an opportunity in the future.
Right now, Lu Wushuang had lost Mo Rongzhan's trust. Even if she could regain his favor in the future, it would be different from before.
