There were two people beside Ye Zhen just now. One was Mo Huaide, and the other was their own teammate. It was clear who was to be investigated, but for the sake of fairness, the two were taken away.
Mo Huaide's face was pale with fright. He kept looking back at Prince Shun, hoping that he would plead for him. Unfortunately, Prince Shun was suppressed by Mo Rongzhan's momentum and dared not speak again, for fear of implicating himself.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please have mercy! My son will not murder the princess." Mo Huaide's father, Marquis Xinyang, fell to the ground and pleaded.
"Marquis Xinyang, if your son is innocent, I will naturally let him go. If he really murdered the princess, I will not punish you for the crime of confiscating your family's property. It is for your old age." Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
Marquis Xinyang trembled like a sieve. He knew very well that Crazy Horse's matter was related to his son, but to lose the whole family for his son …
Ye Zhen had quietly changed back into women's clothes and returned to the Empress Dowager's side.
The Empress Dowager gently grabbed her hand and patted it. "It's all nonsense. If your brother hadn't saved you just now, I'm afraid your injury would be worse than Yi's."
Because of the distance, the Empress Dowager did not have Tang Zhen's eyesight and could not see the panic and worry on Mo Rongzhan's face. She only thought that the Emperor saved him for his sister.
"I just want to vent Yi's anger." Ye Zhen said, "They have gone too far."
"They won't be arrogant for long." The Empress Dowager whispered. She knew very well that those in the royal family looked down on her birth and thought that the Emperor was not the legitimate heir, so they always caused some small trouble behind her back. She believed that the Emperor would solve it sooner or later.
This time, Mo Rongyi's victory directly announced to the royal family that the Mo family they represented had been replaced. Now, the Emperor was Mo Rongzhan. They had to admit it even if they did not want to.
What happened next was no longer Ye Zhen's business. She took the Empress Dowager's hand and returned to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful.
Not long after, Mo Rongyi also came back. He looked very excited because he won the polo match. He pulled Ye Zhen and kept talking. "Yao Yao, it turns out that you are so good at playing polo. Did you often play polo before?"
"We used to play polo when we were in the border town." Whether it was Lu Yaoyao or Ye Zhen, they had been exposed to polo since childhood. Her father often took her to compete with her brothers.
Mo Rongyi looked at her in admiration. "Yaoyao, it would be great if you were a man."
Ye Zhen knocked his forehead. "What's wrong? Do you look down on women?"
"That's not what I meant. If you were a man, you could accompany me every day," Mo Rongyi said.
The Empress Dowager laughed and shook her head. "Your brother only indulged you for a few days because he knew you were going to compete. Now that the competition is over, you should study hard."
Mo Rongyi revealed a frightened expression. "I hate going to the Upper Study."
"Since you don't like to go to the Upper Study, then go to the Imperial Study from now on. I will personally watch over your reading." Mo Rongzhan walked in from outside. His expression was solemn, and his voice was cold and stern.
Mo Rongyi shrunk his neck. "Imperial Brother, I'd better go to the study."
"Your Majesty, those members of the Imperial Family didn't cause trouble with you, right?" The Empress Dowager worriedly looked towards Mo Rongzhan.
"Do they still dare to make trouble?" Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. "They want to use Sixth Brother. Sixth Brother has left the capital to wander. Only Fifth and Eighth Brother are not clear-headed and are used by them."
The old guys of the royal family are old but not changed. They all ignore the common people and only think about the orthodoxy. The royal family has never had any orthodoxy. Whichever prince becomes the emperor, he is the orthodoxy.
"Today, Prince Shun also hurt Yi." When the Empress Dowager thought of this, anger surged in her heart.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at his brother and then at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen bowed her head and said to the Empress Dowager, "Mother, Yi's shoulder was just treated a little. I'll go and re-apply the medicine for him."
The Empress Dowager nodded gently. "Then you go down first. Today, you are frightened and tired. Go back and have a good rest."
Mo Rongzhan, sitting next to the Empress Dowager, looked at her coldly. He knew in his heart that Ye Zhen's excuse to leave was to avoid him.
Mo Rongyi was in a good mood, but he was still a little afraid of his imperial brother, so he followed Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen took the ointment she had developed and re-applied it to him. She told him not to play polo these days and to go back to the Prince's residence to rest.
She also wanted to rest. Today, she was very tired after playing polo. She went to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager and wanted to leave the palace. The Empress Dowager asked her to stay in the palace for a few days.
"Mother, I will be a doctor in a few days. Won't I be able to accompany you often then?" Ye Zhen said with a smile, insisting on leaving the palace.
The Empress Dowager had no choice but to let Aunt Cheng personally send her to the palace gate.
As soon as Ye Zhen returned to the Lu family, she was immediately called by Lu Lingzhi. As soon as he saw her, he took her hand and looked at her. "I heard that you were almost injured in the polo field. How are you? Are you all right?"
In the face of Lu Lingzhi's concern, Ye Zhen felt only disgust and resistance. She pushed his hand away and said with a smile, "Look at me standing here, I know I'm not injured."
Lu Lingzhi said coldly, "When my eldest brother is well, he will not let them go."
"How do you know about me in the polo field?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully.
"Naturally, someone came to me and told me that the whole capital is betting on the match between Prince Shun and the young prince. He can only win and cannot lose. Now that he has lost, his whole fortune will be gone." Lu Lingzhi said faintly.
It seemed that although Lu Lingzhi was recuperating at home, he was still clear about what was happening outside. "Bet? Why haven't I heard of it? "
Lu Lingzhi laughed. "Haven't you been in the college these days? How could you know what's going on outside? What's more, it was done secretly. The match between Prince Shun and the young prince was opened by Changping Square. If Prince Shun won, the odds were one to two and the young prince won, the odds were one to ten. At the beginning, many people bet on Prince Shun to win. If it weren't for someone who bet 100,000 taels on the young prince a few hours ago, it is estimated that Prince Shun would not be so desperate. "
Ye Zhen looked at Lu Lingzhi in surprise. "100,000 taels? Who bet? Changping Square is the biggest gambling house in the capital. Does it have anything to do with Prince Shun? "
"It's Prince Shun's casino." Lu Lingzhi explained simply.
"A million taels is worth him hurting the young prince?" Ye Zhen sneered. She didn't believe that such a big gambling house didn't have a million taels.
Lu Lingzhi looked serious and said, "100,000 taels of gold."
"…" Ye Zhen was stunned. Even if the Ye family used to have countless gold, silver, and jewelry, she had never heard of anyone who dared to bet like this.
100,000 taels of gold … Changping Square may not be able to come up with a million taels of gold.
"Who bet?" Ye Zhen asked.
Lu Lingzhi looked at her meaningfully and said, "How many people in this world can bet like this?"
Mo Rongzhan?! His figure immediately flashed in Ye Zhen's mind.
