When Mo Rongzhan came in, she didn't even want to look at him. In the future, she would never play chess with him anyway. She thought that he had regarded her as his sister. But now, it seems that this bastard is still the same as before. He is not a good person at all.
Mo Rongzhan knew that she was angry, so he didn't stay in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful for too long. After paying his respects to the Empress Dowager, he was about to leave. Before he left, the Empress Dowager warned him to pay a visit to Consort Xu Xian.
He agreed and glanced at Ye Zhen without leaving a trace. Seeing that she just lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, he felt a little bitter in his heart.
When Mo Rongzhan left, the Empress Dowager asked Ye Zhen, "Yao Yao, what happened between you and the Emperor? Did he do something to make you unhappy? "
The Empress Dowager knew that the emperor had some thoughts about Lu Yaoyao. She also thought about not letting them be alone as much as possible. After all, Lu Yaoyao was now a princess. However, she couldn't do it too obviously. Otherwise, it would arouse more suspicion.
Today, when she heard that the two of them were playing chess, she felt gratified, thinking that the emperor had finally let go. Now, looking at Yaoyao's expression, it seemed that something had happened.
Ye Zhen naturally knew that she could not tell the real reason to the empress dowager. Between her and Mo Rongzhan, the empress must put him first. She pretended to be delicate and leaned against the empress dowager. "Mother, my brother is too bad. I don't want to talk to him anymore."
"What's wrong with him?" The empress dowager's heart skipped a beat. From Yao Yao's appearance, it didn't seem like what she had imagined.
Ye Zhen said, "Today, he told me that as long as I solved the puzzle, he would let me go to the Book Tower. I solved the puzzle, but my brother said that he would only let me in to read for one day. Mother, he didn't tell me at first."
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter. "Didn't he say that the last time he played chess with you?"
"Last time was last time. I didn't say anything today." Ye Zhen snorted rudely. "I won't play chess with him in the future. He is shameless."
"I think you're the one acting shamelessly. How many more days do you want to read in there? Didn't you make people dumbfounded? You can go and take a look next time. " So it turned out that it was only Yao Yao who was at odds with the emperor and not because the emperor had done anything to her. Like this, she was relieved.
Ye Zhen thought that she didn't want to play chess with Mo Rongzhan anyway. She probably wouldn't have the chance to go to the library anymore. "Mother, why are you helping my brother?"
The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded. "Aijia is doing this for your own good!"
After chatting and laughing with the Empress Dowager for a while and eating the gelatin soup that the Empress Dowager had the Imperial Kitchen prepare, Ye Rou finally returned to her room to rest.
Recalling the way Mo Rongzhan looked at her just now, Ye Zhen was afraid. How could she forget how dangerous he was after only a few days?
Ye Rou lay on the bed, wondering when she would be able to take revenge on Mo Rongzhan. At the very least, it would have to wait until Mo Rongyi was a little older. Then, from now on, she would teach Mo Rongyi how to win over the hearts of the people and how to make the aristocratic families in the capital loyal to him. Mo Rongzhan had a group of right-hand men who accompanied him to conquer the empire, then Mo Rongyi also needed a group of loyal and reliable supporters.
She also had to teach Mo Rongyi how to govern the country. Now, Mo Rongzhan would certainly not ask a teacher to teach him these things. If she wanted to teach him, she had to leave no trace, lest she be discovered.
However, this was the best way to vent her hatred. She didn't want the people of Jin Kingdom to be ruled by an incompetent ruler, nor did she want to see Mo Rongzhan's aloof appearance. Only by supporting Mo Rongyi and letting him taste the pain of being betrayed, then she could let go of everything and leave.
Of course, the premise was that Lu Lingzhi and his sister would also get their retribution.
Ye Zhen imagined the future days with a smile on the corner of her mouth. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Late at night, Mo Rongzhan appeared beside her bed again. He held her in his arms and kissed her for a long time before reluctantly letting her go.
Brother … Mo Rongzhan never felt that the word sounded so harsh.
"Yao Yao, what I want is your heart, so I am willing to give you time." Mo Rongzhan whispered in her ear. Even conferring her the title of princess was also to lower her guard.
Ye Zhen slept sweetly and didn't hear Mo Rongzhan's whisper at all.
Mo Rongzhan sucked on her lips for a while and took a nap beside her. When he heard the sound of the third watch outside, he reluctantly got up.
Back at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Fu De held the trousers that Mo Rongzhan had just taken off. When he felt the wet crotch, he couldn't help but sympathize with the emperor even more.
What's the use of looking but not eating?
Mo Rongzhan took a cold shower and felt refreshed. Wearing only his casual clothes, he leaned back on the armchair. Shen Yi was already kneeling in front of him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Shen Yi bowed his head and saluted.
"Get up." Mo Rongzhan raised his hand. "Is there any news?"
Shen Yi looked embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this subordinate still … can't find anything. I can only collect the names of the girls who appeared in the Hundred Flowers Garden that year. Please have a look."
Mo Rongzhan glanced at it and didn't find any familiar names.
Shen Yi said in a low voice, "Princess Qin also died that year. Only the Ye Family was left with the fabric of that pouch …"
"It can't be Ye Zhen!" Mo Rongzhan's voice was cold. The Ye family framed him. How could Ye Zhen save him? The pouch would not be hers. What's more, he had never heard that Ye Zhen had a nickname called Yao Yao.
Since the emperor said no, it must not be.
"Investigate these people one by one. Even if they are at the ends of the earth, find out the truth." Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yi could only whisper.
"And …" Mo Rongzhan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. "Lu Wushuang's jade pendant may not have been obtained by herself. Someone should have given it to her. Go and check Lu Lingzhi. He may know where Yao Yao is."
Check Lu Lingzhi? Shen Yi was a little surprised and looked up at the emperor. "Yes."
If Lu Lingzhi was helping Lu Wushuang behind the scenes, then Lu Wushuang had been so successful in deceiving him all these years.
However, Mo Rongzhan still didn't want this matter to have anything to do with Lu Lingzhi.
Shen Yi took the order and left. There were dozens of girls who went to the Hundred Flowers Garden that year. At that time, all the female students of the college were there. It was not easy to find them. Some had already left the capital with their families.
As for investigating Lu Lingzhi … … Shen Yi felt that this was even more difficult. Lu Lingzhi wasn't as gentle and harmless as he appeared on the surface. Back then, before the emperor ascended to the throne, he had already seen his ruthlessness and schemes.
If the matter of Imperial Consort Lu really had something to do with Lu Lingzhi, then Shen Yi felt that the girl named Yao Yao must be dead.
Lu Lingzhi would not leave behind any future troubles.
