?
Ye Zhen's heart beat faster. She couldn't figure out what Mo Rongzhan saw in her. Why did he suddenly want her to enter the palace? She knew very well that even if she let him go this time, what if he ordered her to enter the palace again on a whim in the future?
The way to solve this problem once and for all was to make him hate her!
In fact, she knew in her heart that if she became his favorite concubine, she would have more opportunities to retaliate against the Lu family and him, but she did not want to do so.
Yes, she wanted revenge, revenge for her father and brother, revenge for herself, but she did not want to ruin her life because of this, let alone marry Mo Rongzhan.
What was the best way to deal with your enemy? It was to destroy the most important thing of the other party.
She wanted to destroy the glory and wealth of Lu Lingzhi and Lu Wushuang, and destroy Mo Rongzhan's Jin Kingdom. However, if she became a favorite concubine, she could only live in the palace for the rest of her life. She could only count on Mo Rongzhan's favor to avenge her. But what if his favor was just a flash in the pan? What hope could she have in this life?
"Your Majesty, it seems that you don't remember what your former princess looked like at all. Don't you hate Ye Zhen? Don't you know that all the people in the capital who have seen Ye Zhen say that I look very similar to her? You want me to enter the palace because you can't forget Ye Zhen? " Ye Zhen looked straight into Mo Rongzhan's sharp eyes. This was the only way to stop him from wanting her to enter the palace.
Mo Rongzhan let go of her and no longer held her in his arms. His eyes were cold. "Have you seen Ye Zhen?"
"No, I heard it from others." Ye Zhen said.
"Did you hear it from your Mister Shan?" Mo Rongzhan asked coldly. He really didn't like Ye Zhen. If Lu Yaoyao really looked like her, he would not let her stay by his side.
At the mention of Mister Shan, Ye Zhen became even angrier. "Did you drive Mister Shan out of the college?"
Mo Rongzhan didn't speak but looked at Lu Yaoyao coldly. He didn't know what Ye Zhen looked like. Today was the first time he heard that Lu Yaoyao looked like her.
"Get out." Mo Rongzhan's eyes were cold. His patience with Ye Zhen was running out.
Ye Zhen glanced at him and sneered secretly in her heart. See, this trick is really useful. He hates her so much. Even if they only look alike, he is so disgusted that he doesn't even want to look at her more than he already has.
"Excuse me." Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with sarcasm as she walked out of the library with her head down.
This was also good. She didn't have to worry about what he would do to her in the future.
"Third Miss Lu?" Ford, who was guarding outside, was a little surprised. Why was Third Miss Lu the first to leave tonight?
"Eunuch Fu." Ye Zhen smiled reluctantly.
Before Ford could say anything, Mo Rongzhan had already called him from inside.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, nodded to Eunuch Fu, and left. She probably would not have the opportunity to enter the Book Tower again in the future. Perhaps she would not enter the palace often.
It was already the night curfew, so she couldn't leave the palace. She could only go to the Empress Dowager's place.
Inside the Book Tower, Ford's forehead was dripping with sweat. He listened to Mo Rongzhan asking him about the former Princess Qin.
"You've seen Ye Zhen, haven't you?" Mo Rongzhan didn't look back at him, but it gave Ford a terrible feeling.
Ford replied in a low voice, "Replying to the Emperor, this slave has seen her twice."
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly, but there was no smile in his eyes. His face was so cold that it made people feel as if they had fallen into a cold cellar. "Does Lu Yaoyao look like Ye Zhen?"
What? Ford's jaw dropped in amazement. How did the Emperor know …
Seeing Ford's reaction, Mo Rongzhan's eyes became colder. "Go and bring me Ye Zhen's portrait."
Ford didn't dare to ask Mo Rongzhan how he knew that Lu Yaoyao and Ye Zhen looked alike. As long as it involved Ye Zhen, he knew very well that it was a taboo for the Emperor.
But where could he find Ye Zhen's portrait? When Prince Qin's Mansion was burned to ashes by a fire, everything related to Ye Zhen was destroyed. He could only go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to look for it. If he couldn't find it, he could only draw a new one.
Mo Rongzhan glanced coldly at the cloak in the corner, flicked his sleeves and walked out.
Ford hurriedly took the cloak in his hand and followed up without asking more questions. He went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time, but he couldn't find Ye Zhen's portrait. Finally, he found it among the things taken back by the Ye family.
Getting the portrait, Ford hurriedly sent it to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Mo Rongzhan unfolded the portrait on the table. The girl in it was about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a peach dress. Her eyebrows were picturesque, and her skin was creamy. She was at least 70% similar to Lu Yaoyao today.
Ye Zhen was dignified and generous, while Lu Yaoyao was lively and innocent. The two had different temperaments.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the girl in the portrait. He always felt that she was deliberately pretending to be dignified. It turned out that his original wife looked like this.
He smiled coldly. If she hadn't insisted on marrying him, how could he have been threatened by Ye Yisong? He also knew that Ye Zhen had little contact with the Ye family after marrying him. Therefore, after he returned to the capital and ascended the throne, he didn't want her to die. Of course, he couldn't let her become his empress or concubine.
He would not let the Ye family have any chance to rise again.
If she hadn't burned down Prince Qin's Mansion, she might still be alive now. Since she didn't cherish her life, why should others care about her?
"Take the portrait away and burn it." Mo Rongzhan ordered coldly.
Ford didn't dare to hesitate and immediately put away the portrait. "Your Majesty, this slave will take it and burn it."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes were cold. No one dared to mention Ye Zhen in front of him. Lu Yaoyao was not only bold, but also not afraid of death!
Lu Yaoyao knew that she looked like Ye Zhen because of Mister Shan. She didn't know how much she had told Lu Yaoyao about Ye Zhen, which made the silly girl wholeheartedly defend Ye Zhen's injustice. Lu Yaoyao didn't know how much she had told Lu Yaoyao about Ye Zhen.
If he hadn't asked Lu Yaoyao to enter the palace as a concubine, Lu Yaoyao would certainly not have said that she looked similar to Ye Zhen. In order to refuse her, she really went all out.
Ford walked in with his head down and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the portraits have been burned."
"What about Lu Yaoyao?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"It seems that … she went to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful." Ford said. He really wanted to know what happened in the book tower and how Lu Yaoyao made the emperor suddenly want to see Ye Zhen's portrait.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes were indifferent and he didn't ask any more questions. Since she was so unwilling to enter the palace, he didn't want to force her. He didn't need her!
As for her thinking that she didn't need to enter the palace because she looked like Ye Zhen, she thought that he hated Ye Zhen, so he didn't like to see anyone who looked like her.
