Originally, when Mo Rongzhan sent Jianjia to Ye Zhen's side, Jin Lou was very unhappy. A year ago, Jin Lou returned to the capital to report on his work and went to the medical workshop to find Jianjia. The two were entangled for a period of time. Jianjia refused to leave with Jin Lou because of her relationship with the medical workshop. Not long after Ye Zhen returned to the capital, Jin Lou had already asked Ye Chunnan to intercede.
"Niangniang, this servant doesn't want to." Jianjia lightly said.
Ye Rou was stunned. "Why?"
Could it be that Jianjia was not interested in Jin Lou?
Jian Jia remained silent. What did Jin Lou mean by asking her to go to Qingzhou? In what capacity would she go? When he came to the capital, he forced her to be with him and made her his. But what was her status? She was just the daughter of a criminal official. Other than the Empress, she had no other family. With Jin Lou's background, he could not marry her. Since it was like this, why should she mistreat herself?
Seeing that Jian Jia's expression was not right, Ye Zhen glanced at Hong Ling.
Hong Ling retreated.
Ye Zhen whispered to Jianjia. "Jianjia, I have never treated you as a maid. You should know the intention of placing you in the medical workshop."
"This servant understands." Jian Jia replied in a low voice. Her Ladyship didn't treat her as a maid, otherwise, she wouldn't have let her become a female official in the medical workshop. Even if her official rank was very low, it was already different for her.
"Then why?" Ye Rou asked.
"Niangniang, General Jin's status is noble. He's not someone I can associate with." Jianjia said in a low voice.
"General Jin had someone tell this consort that he wants to marry you." Ye Zhen said that she did not think that Jian Jia's identity was low. Moreover, as long as Jin Lou was sincere to her, what did it matter if their identities were different?
Jianjia raised her head in shock. What? "He … doesn't he have a fiancée?"
"If he had a fiancee, would he dare to ask this consort to marry you?" Ye Zhen asked, not believing that Jin Lou would dare to ask Ye Chunnan to be the matchmaker if he had a fiancee.
"But …" She had clearly heard that he had a fiancée.
"Since General Jin has begged this consort, it means that his feelings for you are sincere. If he wronged you, this consort won't let him off! Unless you have no interest in him, then I will refuse for you. "Ye Zhen said faintly.
Jianjia was anxious, "Niangniang, I didn't …"
"Nothing?" Ye Zhen looked at her funny.
"Niangniang …" Jianjia shyly bowed her head. She had liked Jin Lou many years ago, but she knew her identity and never dared to have any delusions. She followed the niangniang to the capital and decided to forget him. Who knew that he would come back to the capital and say that he wanted to take her back.
She didn't regret becoming his woman. In any case, she never thought of marrying anyone else in her life. However, she accidentally heard Jin Lou's maid say that he had a fiancée. She was so angry that she went back to the clinic and refused to see him until he returned to Qingzhou.
When Ye Zhen saw Jian Jia like this, she knew that she actually wanted to marry Jin Lou.
"Then, this consort will promise General Jin for you." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
It was already past lunchtime when he left the clinic.
"The Nine Heavens Tower is still open." Not long after entering the city, Ye Zhen saw a familiar plaque at the crossroads of the main street. This was her favorite place before. She liked to eat crystal shrimp dumplings here.
"Niangniang, you haven't had lunch yet. Why don't you go to the Nine Heavens Tower?" Hong Ling knew Ye Zhen's taste best and knew that she must want to eat shrimp dumplings from the Nine Heavens Tower.
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The carriage stopped on the side of the road. Hong Ling brought Ye Zhen a curtain hat and helped her out of the carriage.
Because it was past lunchtime, there were not many people in the Nine Heavens Tower at this time. Hong Ying asked the shopkeeper to arrange a room on the second floor.
"Master, it seems to be …" In the room on the second floor near the street, a man in a cloak sat by the window. Behind him was Luo Cheng.
Lu Lingzhi looked down at the woman who walked into the Nine Heavens Tower. A cold light flashed in his deep and dark eyes. His cold body rose a trace of warmth because of the woman. She came back, he finally saw her.
"It seems to be Lu Yaoyao." Luo Cheng saw that Lu Lingzhi didn't say a word and reminded him in a low voice.
"Hmm." Lu Lingzhi nodded faintly. He knew it was her. Even if she wore a curtain hat, he still recognized her at a glance.
Luo Cheng felt Lu Lingzhi's silence and sadness. The feeling in his heart was really uncomfortable. The once high-spirited master could only humbly call himself a slave in front of others. If he hadn't fallen in love with Lu Yaoyao, all this would not have happened.
"Lu Yaoyao is out of the palace. Should I …" Luo Cheng felt that if he could kill her directly, maybe Lu Lingzhi would not be so obsessed with her.
"You can't kill her. Don't ruin the big thing." Lu Lingzhi's voice was even colder. It was impossible for Lu Yaoyao to only have two maids with her. As long as their people approached Lu Yaoyao, they would definitely be discovered. At that time, he would be killed by Mo Rongzhan before he could complete his task.
Luo Cheng looked around in surprise and didn't find anyone else. Was there a secret guard with Lu Yaoyao?
The maid beside her …
"Go and check that maid!" Lu Lingzhi said in a deep voice, "Her name should be … Hong Ling."
He had seen her before at Ye Zhen's side. She was the maid who had been with her since she was a child. At that time, the whole Prince Qin's Mansion was burned, but this maid was able to survive. If he guessed correctly, she should be very clear about Lu Yaoyao's true identity.
If Lu Yaoyao's identity as Ye Zhen was to be revealed to the world, this maid was the only way to break through.
The conversation between the master and the servant was getting lower and lower. On the other side, Ye Zhen was already contentedly eating the crystal shrimp dumplings that she liked since childhood.
"Hong Ling, I want you to leave the palace." Ye Zhen suddenly whispered to Hong Ling.
Hong Ling and Hong Ying, who were eating, were stunned.
Ye Zhen looked back at her and said with a smile, "Jianjia will soon go to Qingzhou. Originally, I wanted you to become the female officer of the clinic with her. After she leaves, I can only rest assured if you go to the clinic." Ye Zhen looked back at her and said with a smile.
Hong Ling stood up, "But by your side …"
"I have Dai Mei and Xiao Ran by my side. Green Sprout and Red Sprout can also be used. Don't worry." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "After Hong Ying marries Shen Yi, she will also go to the medical workshop."
"Your Highness, this slave wants to stay by your side." Hong Ling had seen Ye Zhen's lonely appearance because of her love for Mo Rongzhan. Although the emperor later regarded her as a treasure, not everyone in the world could be as lucky as her. Ye Zhen was not willing to marry at all and would rather stay in the palace. When the little prince or princess grew up in the future, she would tie her hair up and serve them as an aunt.
However, her Highness didn't seem to think so.
"No, you have been by my side for many years. Now I need you to help me outside the palace." How could Ye Zhen not know what Hong Ling was thinking? However, she hoped that Hong Ling could meet more people and then decide her own life.
Hong Ling thought silently for a long time. "This slave will listen to your highness."
