?
Lu Wushuang's face turned pale. She knew very well that her glory, splendor, and wealth were closely related to Lu Lingzhi. If something happened to Lu Lingzhi, her future would not be any better.
"Poisoned? How could he be poisoned? "Lu Wushuang stood up anxiously.
Ye Zhen looked at Lu Wushuang's anxious look and said faintly, "Your Highness, don't worry. As long as Doctor Qi is here, my brother will be fine."
Lu Wushuang glanced at her. "If there is any news about my brother, be sure to come and tell me immediately."
"Your Highness, it should be easier for you to get news in the palace than us. I still want to inquire from your Highness." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"The Emperor does not allow the women in the harem to inquire about the affairs of the court. How can I know?" Lu Wushuang would never admit that she was ignored by Mo Rongzhan in front of others.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Then I can only go to the Empress Dowager to inquire about it. However, if my brother's injury is stable, he should be back in a few days."
Lu Wushuang now wanted to win over Ye Zhen even more. If something happened to her brother, only her cousin could help her in the palace.
"Yao Yao, fortunately, you came to this Empress, otherwise, this Empress would not know anything." Lu Wushuang held Ye Zhen's hands and said sincerely, "You and I, sisters, must support each other in the future. This Empress misunderstood you before, but now I know how good it is to have a sister."
How disgusting! Ye Zhen admired Lu Wushuang in her heart. How could she change her attitude so quickly? Not long ago, she clearly wanted to drive her out of the capital, but now she has become a sister.
"Your Highness, you are my cousin. If I don't help you, will I help others?" Ye Zhen smiled faintly.
Lu Wushuang was very happy to hear this. Sure enough, this Lu Yaoyao was easy to coax. As long as she said a few good words, she would be able to convince her.
"Good sister, no wonder grandmother loves you so much. You are really a good child with a crystal heart." Lu Wushuang said with a smile. "Where did you go today?"
"I played polo with the little prince." Ye Zhen said, not mentioning that she played chess with Mo Rongzhan. Otherwise, Lu Wushuang would be suspicious again.
Lu Wushuang was a little upset. Why did both the Empress Dowager and the little prince like Lu Yaoyao? She had put in so much effort, but the Empress Dowager did not even put it in her eyes. She only blindly sided with Xu Huiru. The last time she went to the Herb Garden, she only brought that bitch. "You have a good relationship with the little prince."
"It's just getting along," Ye Zhen said.
Lu Wushuang pretended not to care and asked casually, "Did you meet Consort Xu Xian in the Herb Garden last time?"
"Yes." She felt that the focus of Lu Wushuang's visit today should be related to Xu Huiru.
"Did the emperor also go?" Lu Wushuang's expression tightened. She was most afraid that Xu Huiru would really win Mo Rongzhan's heart.
Ye Rou nodded. "I think so. Her Highness Imperial Concubine Xian went to see the Emperor. However, the Emperor did not stay for long. He left soon after."
No one knew what happened between Mo Rongzhan and her in the dry well, and she did not intend to say it. It was best to forget it forever.
Lu Wushuang snorted coldly. "That Xu Huiru is despicable and hypocritical. If she wants to win you over, ignore her."
It was hard to say whether Xu Huiru was despicable and hypocritical for the time being, but on the surface, she was much better than Lu Wushuang. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager would not have liked her so much.
"Consort Xu Xian knows that I am your cousin. Why would she come to win me over?" Ye Zhen smiled faintly.
"Yao Yao, in fact, I also want to show filial piety to the Empress Dowager, but I don't know why the Empress Dowager seems to have some misunderstandings about me. The Empress Dowager is good to you and trusts you. You have to say more good words for me in front of the Empress Dowager." Lu Wushuang said with a smile.
Ye Zhen almost laughed when she heard this. When Lu Wushuang was favored before, she didn't put the Empress Dowager in her eyes at all. Now that Mo Rongzhan ignored her, she wanted to please the Empress Dowager.
In Lu Wushuang's opinion, did everyone revolve around her?
"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, I will put in a good word for you in front of the Empress Dowager." Ye Zhen looked at Lu Wushuang's charming face. Mo Rongzhan must have been blind in her previous life to think that this woman was her, the one who saved him when he was a child.
Lu Wushuang was really satisfied this time. "Good sister, I will not treat you badly."
Ye Zhen patiently entertained Lu Wushuang for most of the day. When it was almost dark, she was finally able to leave. After accompanying the Empress Dowager for dinner, she returned to her room.
Originally, the Empress Dowager wanted to grant her a palace, but Ye Zhen declined. She lived in the side hall of the Palace of Benevolent and Peaceful. Anyway, she did not enter the palace often, so it was the same where she lived.
The next day, she took the list she had written to Mo Rongyi and explained to him one by one. "The Marquis of Xinyang does not have only one son. Although the Crown Prince and Prince Shun are close, the real promising one is not the Crown Prince, but the Second Young Master, and the Marquis of Pingyang … I have written down all the young masters of the other families, as well as their personalities and hobbies. Take a good look."
"Yao Yao, how do you know so clearly? You even know what their hobbies are?" Mo Rongyi looked at Ye Zhen in surprise, his eyes full of worship.
"If you want to know a person, you naturally have to know more about their family." Ye Zhen said. In the past, when the Ye family's daughters wanted to get married, her uncle would send people to check all the young talents in the capital and then let them choose well. Although Ye Zhen felt that this method was overbearing, she still got benefits from it. At least she knew a lot about the situation of each family.
Mo Rongyi put away the list Ye Zhen gave him. "I'll go back and take a good look, and then write posts one by one."
Ye Zhen smiled. "Take a good look. Some people can be close friends, some can only be acquainted with a nod, and some just need to deal with them. I have written them all very clearly."
"Yao Yao, you are amazing." Mo Rongyi said admiringly, "You wrote it all in one night?"
"I have a good memory." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "My father used to say that I am a genius."
"Third Master Lu is right, you are a genius." Mo Rongyi nodded.
The father who praised her for her cleverness was not Lu Shiming, but Ye Yiqing. However, Ye Zhen could not explain it, so she just smiled and did not speak.
Mo Rongyi took the list back to the prince's residence. Ye Zhen also went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and then went out of the palace to tell Old Madam Lu about Lu Lingzhi.
Knowing that Tian Jiu was safe and sound, Ye Zhen had nothing to inquire about. After leaving the palace, she went to the Thousand Gold House and told Hong Ling that Tian Jiu had escaped. She asked Hong Ling to secretly send a message to Man Qin, telling him not to be too arrogant in the near future and to let Tian Jiu avoid him as much as possible.
