Ye Zhen carefully observed the game on the chessboard, and her brows wrinkled a little bit. This endgame was the power of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. In this game, there were tribulations within tribulations, both coexistence and longevity. It was extremely complicated. As long as she made one wrong move, she would lose the whole game.
Mo Rongzhan was really not a good person. How could he let her enter the book tower so easily?
"How about it?" Mo Rongzhan saw her frowning brows and his mouth slightly tilted up. "If you can't solve it, I won't force you."
"Will I go to the book tower even if I can't solve it?" Ye Zhen asked without looking up.
"A ruler does not go back on his words. How can I go back on my words?" Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice. His eyes fell on her slightly pouting pink lips. Feeling his mouth dry, he picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea.
Ye Zhen snorted softly. In that case, she had to solve this endgame.
She tried to take a step forward, but the next moment, the game changed. No matter how she moved forward, it was a dead end.
Time passed little by little, but Ye Zhen still did not see a way to solve the game.
"Have some tea." Mo Rongzhan saw that her eyebrows had not stretched and could not help but feel distressed. He brought her a cup of tea. "The reason why the endgame can't be solved is that people's ideas are sometimes fixed. If they worry too much, they will hesitate to move forward."
Ye Zhen took the teacup in his hand and raised her head doubtfully. "Have you solved this chess game?"
Mo Rongzhan nodded gently. "Yes, that's why I let you try. It took me half a day to solve it."
"I may not be able to solve it in a day." Ye Zhen sipped her tea and turned to look out of the window, only to find that it was already dark.
"It's night, I'm leaving. I'll go back and think about how to solve it." Ye Zhen put down the teacup and said. She didn't want to hinder him from spoiling his concubine.
Mo Rongzhan was enjoying the time alone with her. How could he let her go like this? "Do you still want to leave the palace today?"
"I'll go back to the Palace of Benevolence and Peace. The Empress Dowager will find me."
"Mother has just sent someone to know that you are playing chess here. It doesn't matter. You can go back after solving the game." Mo Rongzhan pretended to be indifferent.
Ye Zhen glanced at him, "Isn't that a hindrance to the emperor's time?"
Mo Rongzhan raised an eyebrow. "Hinder us in what way?"
"Don't you need to appease Concubine Xu Xian, who was driven away by you today?" Ye Zhen sat down again. Isn't his favorite concubine Xu Huiru now?
"In your heart, am I a fatuous ruler who will immerse himself in wine and women?" Mo Rongzhan asked coldly.
Ye Zhen supported her chin with one hand and continued to stare at the chessboard. Her voice was cold as she replied, "How would I know? But aren't you going to marry Imperial Consort Lu? She said she was sick and wanted to see you. "
At the mention of Lu Wushuang, Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened. "Why didn't you call for an imperial doctor when you were sick? Do you think I can cure her illness? "
When Ye Zhen heard this, she looked up at him seriously, "Are all emperors so fickle?"
"You think I'm heartless?" Mo Rongzhan's tone was slightly cold. He felt that he was too sentimental. Otherwise, how could he be so obsessed with her? Knowing that she was unwilling, he ran to see her in the middle of the night regardless of his status.
"A few months ago, you still doted on Imperial Consort Lu so much. Not long after, you have a new person, and you forget the old and cry. Aren't you heartless?" Ye Zhen chuckled. Which man didn't have three wives and four concubines? As an emperor, perhaps he knew this better than other men.
Mo Rongzhan's thin lips were tightly pursed and his dark eyes looked at her. "The person I wanted to dote on was not Imperial Consort Lu. She pretended to be that girl. I didn't know the truth until later. If it weren't for fear of alerting the enemy, and for the loyalty of the Lu family to me, I wouldn't have let her continue to be an imperial consort."
Ye Zhen's eyes flashed. "Then who do you want to dote on? The one you mentioned last time … is it the girl who saved you? "
Mo Rongzhan looked out of the window faintly. "At that time, I was blind and fell into a dry well because of Ye Chunming's scheme. When I temporarily lost my martial arts and internal force, I couldn't leave the well. After waiting for a long time, a little girl saved me. I wanted to find her after I could see, but on the appointed day, I didn't see her for a long time. She had my jade pendant. Lu Wushuang took the jade pendant and told me that she was the little girl from that year."
"She said that, and you believed it?" Ye Zhen was a little angry. Was he so stupid before?
Mo Rongzhan saw that she was scolding him in her heart. He smiled helplessly. "Not only that, but she also knew what happened that year. Only I and the little girl knew those things. If Lu Wushuang was not her, how could she know?"
"Then how do you know that she is not the little girl?" Ye Zhen asked again. This was what she was most curious about.
"I saw something in the dry well that day. There was her name in it … I remembered that she once said a nickname." Mo Rongzhan took a deep look at her and didn't say that the little girl was also called Yao Yao. Otherwise, the little girl's imagination would run wild again.
The smile on Ye Zhen's mouth became more and more sarcastic. "You can still forget her nickname, but it doesn't mean that you miss her much."
Mo Rongzhan shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Is this how unbearable I am in your heart? I was blinded by poison before. After I was cured, there were many things I couldn't remember. It was only later that I gradually remembered them. "
"Why does Imperial Concubine Lu have that little girl's jade pendant? How can a person like her hide from you? Your Majesty, you are not very smart. "Ye Zhen sneered. She wanted Mo Rongzhan to doubt Lu Lingzhi.
"This is what I can't figure out. I can't find the little girl, and I can't find out why Lu Wushuang has that jade pendant. Where did she learn about what happened between me and the little girl that day?" Mo Rongzhan frowned.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Although she is my cousin, I have to admit that Lu Wushuang can't do these things alone."
Mo Rongzhan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Yao Yao, what do you want to say?"
"I didn't say anything. Although Imperial Concubine Lu is not the one who saved you, she is still your Imperial Concubine after all. She served you well. Are you really going to ignore her? It's better to ask her where the little girl is. " Ye Zhen wanted to know what Mo Rongzhan would think if he knew that the person who saved him was killed by his cup of poisoned wine.
"I am worried that she will kill the girl." Mo Rongzhan whispered. …
"Can you guarantee that the little girl is still alive today?" Ye Zhen asked faintly. "Maybe she is already dead."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes turned cold. "I believe she is still alive."
"And then?" Ye Zhen looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do after you find her? Marry her and make her your empress? "
