If there was anything else in Ye Zhen's mind now, apart from Mo Rongzhan's blurred vision, it would be Ah Bu beside Huangfu Chen. Ah Bu was actually a mermaid! What if there were other mermaids besides her?
Mo Rongzhan asked the coachman to find an inn in the city to stop. This was the border, and the customs were different from other places. Ye Zhen saw that the people outside were dressed strangely and even their faces were wrapped tightly, only a pair of eyes could be seen.
"Where did you find the coachman?" Ye Zhen asked Mo Rongzhan lazily.
"I met him on the road. I bought a carriage from him and hired him as a coachman." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Ye Zhen still felt tired and shook her head when she heard his words. "No, the women outside are all wrapped up tightly. If I go out like this, I will be looking at others or others looking at me."
Mo Rongzhan heard the tiredness in her words and regretted his lack of restraint yesterday. He walked over and sat down beside her, gently hugging her in his arms. "It will be dark for a while. Why don't you take a nap first? When it gets dark, we will go find Huangfu Chen."
"It will take at least a day and a night to go back and forth." Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. No matter how fast they were, they could not appear during the day. It would not be good if they were discovered.
"I will let the coachman leave on his own and leave the carriage at the inn. There are many people coming and going here. No one will notice." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Ye Zhen really wanted to see Ah Bu, so she listened to Mo Rongzhan's suggestion.
At night, she was held in Mo Rongzhan's arms and their figures disappeared into the night. There was no moonlight tonight, so no one noticed them flying in the sky. Even if someone saw them, they would only think that they were dazzled.
Mo Rongzhan had come to Ming Xi before, so he knew where Huangfu Chen lived. However, they stood outside the bamboo house, surrounded by darkness. Obviously, no one was inside.
Ye Zhen took out two luminous pearls from the space and illuminated the surroundings.
"It seems that no one is here." Ye Zhen said, taking Mo Rongzhan's hand and walking into the house.
Dust covered the table, the tea was cold, and the stove was cold. There was no sign of human habitation. It seemed that the people who lived here had left at least for several days.
"Huangfu Chen took Ah Bu away …" Ye Zhen held the cup in her hand, not even pouring out the remaining tea. "Did he find out that we were aware?"
"Yes, he's afraid that we'll hurt Ah No." Mo Rongzhan said calmly. He understood why Huangfu Chen wanted to take Abu away. Since he knew Abu's background and took her in, he would definitely think of a way to protect her.
Ye Rou sighed. "This is the first time I've seen Huang Fuchen so protective of a woman."
"Second time." Mo Rongzhan said indifferently.
"Did it happen before?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise.
Mo Rongzhan squeezed her palm hard. Who else could Huangfu Chen have protected her with all his heart?
Ye Zhen suddenly remembered that Mo Rongzhan had been jealous. "Oh, it's a pity. Since we can't see Ah Bu, let's go back."
"En." Mo Rongzhan's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Where do you think he will take Abdul?" Ye Zhen asked curiously.
Mo Rongzhan and she slowly walked out of the bamboo house. "What do you think?"
Ye Zhen thought about it carefully. "China."
Huang Fuchen must have taken Abu out to sea. Since Abu is a mermaid, she is most suitable to live in the sea. Moreover, China is Huang Fuchen's territory. He will definitely be able to protect her better.
"If it is China, we will see it in the future." Mo Rongzhan said.
"Didn't you say that Abu was found in a nearby lake? I want to see it." Ye Zhen took Mo Rongzhan's hand and said.
Mo Rongzhan remembered the big hands full of strange aura. "What's there to see? It's just a lake."
"Since Abu can appear there, it proves that it is not simple." Ye Zhen said, insisting on seeing the big lake.
"Let's go." Mo Rongzhan was helpless. Anyway, it was already sealed, so there should be no danger.
There was no moonlight tonight, only a sky full of stars. The lake reflected the starlight, shimmering and twinkling. It was a different kind of scenery.
Ye Zhen walked to the lake and did not find anything unusual. She was just puzzled that there was such a big lake in the deep mountains, and it was flowing.
"The water is cold at night. Don't get it wet." Mo Rongzhan took Ye Zhen's hand and kept her away from the lake.
"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I feel that this lake is strange." Ye Zhen whispered.
Mo Rongzhan chuckled. "It's just a lake in the human world. What can be strange about it?"
Ye Zhen felt that maybe she was overthinking it. "Forget it, let's go. Huang Fuchen is so protective of Abu, he shouldn't hurt him."
"Then let's go back." Mo Rongzhan nodded, hugged Ye Zhen's waist, and disappeared into the night sky.
None of them looked back. If they had looked back, they would have seen the shadow of a large hand in the cave under the shimmering water.
…
…
Compared to Mo Rongzhan's carefree life, Shui Yichen, who was in the capital, was not so carefree.
He had not decided to ascend the throne. He just took the abdication letter sent by Shen Luoyang and closed the door to the Shui family. No matter who asked for an audience, he would see them.
In fact, the whole world knew who the next emperor of Yuan Country would be after the abdication of the Heavenly Concubine. However, as long as Shui Yichen did not ascend the throne, no one could be sure.
The whole imperial court was anxious.
"Miss Ye, please stay." The people outside the study blocked Ye Wei, not letting her in to disturb Shui Yichen.
"Is the general still in the study?" Ye Wei asked in a low voice. She had just recovered from her injuries. When she heard that Shui Yichen was going to inherit the throne, she was overjoyed. He did not send her away resolutely, which meant that he still had some feelings for her. She could not help but look forward to his return. She did not know why he had closed himself in the study when he was about to get what he wanted.
Shui Yichen had long known that Ye Wei would do this. He looked down at the beautiful words on the abdication letter. This was written by her own hand. Every word was sincere, but it was also heartless.
She knew his feelings, but she did not give him any hope at all.
The abdication letter …
"Lu Yaoyao, do you think that I will betray you without the abdication letter?" Shui Yichen asked in a low voice. She really did not believe him at all.
"You are doing this because you want me to owe you and return it to Mingyu in the future."
"He can treat your daughter as his own, why can't I?"
"You just wait and see …"
Shui Yichen grabbed the abdication letter in his hands and suddenly opened the door to the study. Seeing Ye Wei standing outside the door, he retracted his gaze indifferently and walked out of the door.
Ye Wei looked at his firm and broad back view and finally smiled in satisfaction.
This man had finally thought it through.
In the future, he would let her stay on the account that she had served him.
She did not want to be rich anymore. She just wanted to be by his side.
