Zhao Ning felt that she was too useless. If she hadn't lured Lu Lingzhi to the capital, he wouldn't have had the chance to do so many bad things.
"Wangfei, wangye is here." Zi Juan held Zhao Ning's arm, looking at Mo Rongyi's back from afar.
"Ah?" Zhao Ning froze. Didn't Mo Rongyi leave the city?
"Ah Ning!" Mo Rongyi walked over, extending a hand to support Zhao Ning, "Why did you enter the palace?"
Zhao Ning said in a low voice, "If it wasn't for me, Lu Lingzhi wouldn't have come to the capital. I feel terrible."
"It's not your fault. Lu Lingzhi is too despicable." Mo Rongyi comforted Zhao Ning, "Leave the matter of Lin Yan to my royal brother. He will find Lu Lingzhi."
"En." Zhao Ning nodded lightly, but her heart still felt terrible.
Returning to the wang fu, Mo Rongyi immediately found Zhao Ning's dowry. According to Zhao Ning's wishes, these dowry were sent back to the country of Qi. Because they weren't sure who was Lu Lingzhi's man, killing them all would be too much of a sin. For the sake of the child in Zhao Ning's stomach, Mo Rongyi wouldn't kill them.
Mo Rongyi even personally went to Lu Lingzhi's room to search, but didn't find anything. There were only many pills. According to the servants in the fu, Lu Lingzhi's body was very weak and needed to take medicine every few days. It seemed that these pills were taken by Lu Lingzhi.
"Zhu Shu, send these to the palace to the empress. Perhaps the empress knows what illness Lu Lingzhi has." Mo Rongyi said.
After sorting through the entire wang fu, Mo Rongyi returned to the upper room to find Zhao Ning.
"Ah Ning, send your dowry back. If you don't have enough people, then pick a few from the fu." Mo Rongyi held Zhao Ning's hand, "If you don't like them, then let the broker pick some for you …"
Zhao Ning smiled, "You don't have to worry about me. This time, I will carefully choose the people."
"You can choose, but the body is most important." Mo Rongyi said in a low voice. He rubbed Zhao Ning's stomach, "I'll let you use the people around me first. They've been by my side since I was young. You can trust them."
"Alright." Zhao Ning nodded lightly.
Mo Rongyi kissed her forehead. "I still have to enter the palace to see my royal brother. You should rest first. Don't think too much and don't tire yourself out."
"I know." Zhao Ning replied softly.
…
…
Hong Ling was sent out of the palace by Xue Lin. Ye Zhen was grieved. She only hoped that Mo Rongzhan could find Lu Lingzhi. She would let Lu Lingzhi know what it meant to live a life worse than death.
When it was almost evening, Ming Xi and Ming Yu finally returned from the Lu family.
"Mother, we're back." Ming Xi took Ming Yu's hand and walked into the bedroom. Before he could stand still, Ming Yu had already rushed into Ye Zhen's arms.
Ye Zhen showed a smile, not wanting the two children to know her mood. "Were you naughty in the Lu family today?"
Ming Xi said, "No, I've always been by Grandfather's side."
"Mother, I saw Little Aunt. Little Aunt is so beautiful today." Ming Yu said happily.
"Well, what did you do in the Lu family today?" Ye Zhen's sad mood was a little happier because of Lu Xiangzhi's marriage.
Ming Yu's delicate voice rang out crisply. "I followed maternal grandmother to meet many people. After little aunt came, I stayed in the house to accompany little aunt. Little uncle stayed in the house and didn't go out. It was little aunt who chased him away …"
Ye Zhen laughed when she heard this. She could imagine Lu Xiangzhi refusing to leave the new house.
"Mother, Uncle also went to the Lu family today, but he didn't take long to leave. Did something happen?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice. When he arrived at the Lu family, he clearly saw Ye Chunnan. Not long after, Wu Chong came to find him, and then he never saw his uncle again.
"Maybe Uncle has something to do." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "What's wrong?"
Ming Xi glanced at Ye Zhen. "Mother, can you tell me anything related to Xiaoliu in the future?"
Ye Zhen understood her son's meaning. Now that Yan Xiaoliu has recovered his memory, he naturally wants to find out the truth. According to what he said, the Yan family died in the hands of Yan Jintang. His father killed his family. Yan Xiaoliu must want to know who did it more than anyone else.
"Well, as long as it is related to the Yan family in the future, I will tell you." Ye Zhen rubbed Ming Xi's head. "Take my sister back first. Mother has something to do."
Ming Xi showed a happy smile. "Good."
"Mother, can I still go to see Little Aunt in a few days?" Ming Yu asked.
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded. Ming Yu liked Su Xiaoxiao because Su Xiaoxiao was good to her. Naturally, Ye Zhen would not stop her from getting close to her aunt.
Not long after the two children left the Yong Shou Palace, Ye Zhen heard that Mo Rongzhan had returned, but he was still discussing things with others in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Ye Zhen couldn't wait for Mo Rongzhan to come back and went to the Yong Shou Palace to find him.
Outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, she saw Ye Chunnan preparing to leave.
"Brother." Ye Zhen looked up at him. "Have you found Lu Lingzhi?"
"No …" Ye Chunnan whispered, "He set up too many camouflage. We split up several times to look for him, but we couldn't find him. On the way, we also encountered … a lot of people blocking our way."
Ye Zhen's expression changed slightly. "All the people you met were people who had taken the poisonous pills?"
If it was an ordinary person, Ye Chunnan would not have shown such an expression.
"Yes." Ye Chunnan nodded heavily.
"Was anyone injured?" Ye Zhen asked.
Ye Chunnan said, "Several shadow guards suffered minor injuries and have been treated."
"Brother, you should be careful too." Ye Zhen whispered, "Take the antidote I gave you with you."
"I know. I put all the medicine you gave me here." Ye Chunnan said with a smile, pointing to the pouch at his waist.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "I will go to the emperor first."
Mo Rongzhan was planning to go to the Yong Shou Palace. When he walked out of the hall, he saw Ye Zhen and Ye Chunnan talking. He stood on the steps, waiting for Ye Zhen to come to him.
"This servant greets the Empress." Eunuch Fu bowed to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen hurried up and hugged Mo Rongzhan's waist.
"I was a step too slow." Mo Rongzhan put his arm around her shoulder. Today, he almost caught Lu Lingzhi. He was more annoyed than anyone else.
"Keep him alive. Give him to me." Ye Zhen buried her face in his arms. She was really upset. Hong Ling's death reminded her of everything in the past.
Her four maids, the four maids who had grown up with her, had all died at Lu Lingzhi's hands.
Mo Rongzhan answered in a low voice, "Alright."
"Ah Zhan …" Ye Zhen's voice choked.
"Yes, I am here." Mo Rongzhan carried her in his arms and walked towards Yangxin Palace.
"Ah Zhan, Hong Ling knows my identity. Lu Lingzhi must have caught her to force her to say that I am Ye Zhen." Ye Zhen thought for a long time. This was the only reason why Lu Lingzhi would do something to Hong Ling.
"He must have told Mo Ronghui about it …"
