Ye Zhen had not been to the royal hunting ground for many years. The hunting ground was next to the Hundred Flower Garden, and at the end of the east was the Women's College. When she was taking the exam in the Women's College, she heard that Mo Rongzhan had seen her from the hunting ground.
"Yaoyao, I have something to tell you." Murong Ke frowned and said to Ye Zhen. He didn't like the way she looked at him and Lei Bingfu, as if they really had something going on.
"Oh, okay." Ye Zhen stopped with her horse, thinking that Murong Ke was going to talk to her about the assassin. Last time he urged Mo Rongzhan to enter the palace, she went there but did not see him. She did not know why.
Murong Ke asked someone to hold Ye Zhen's hand and walked with her to the other side of the woods.
"Yaoyao, don't misunderstand." Murong Ke looked down at her and said softly, "My feelings for Lei Bingfu … are not what you think."
"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what you mean." Ye Zhen looked at Murong Ke in surprise.
There was no one else around, only Murong Ke and Ye Zhen walking slowly in the woods.
Murong Ke said in a low voice, "I see Mingyu as my daughter, but there are people in the imperial court who want to harm her. The better I treat Mingyu, the more dangerous it is for her. That's why I brought Lei Bingfu up. Now that everyone knows that I spoil Lei Bingfu, they will naturally shift their attention away from Mingyu. I'm just protecting Mingyu."
Listening to Murong Ke's words, Ye Zhen was shocked speechless. She had already understood the meaning of his words. He wanted to tell her that he doted on Lei Bingfu and promoted her to the position of a favorite concubine, not because he liked her, but to protect Ming Yu, so he used Lei Bingfu. Was this what he meant?
"You … are using Lei Huipin to protect Ming Yu?" Ye Zhen frowned at Murong Ke.
"Yes." Murong Ke said in a low voice. To him, the most important people were the woman in front of him and her daughter. No one was more important than them.
For a long time, Ye Zhen did not know what to say to him.
She had thought that he really liked Lei Bingfu. When he looked at Lei Bingfu, his expression was vivid and lively. It was the Murong Ke that she had never seen before. But now, he said that everything was fake. He was only using Lei Bingfu to protect Ming Yu.
How could he say such a shameless and despicable thing so matter-of-factly?
"Ah Ke, are you doing this fair to Lei Huipin?" Ye Rou asked calmly. Anger welled up in her heart. She was both sad and angry. She knew that Murong Ke wanted to protect Ming Yu, but was he really protecting her in such a way?
"I can give her glory, splendor, wealth, and supreme honor," Murong Ke said in a low voice. He felt that they were just taking what they needed.
Ye Rou stared blankly at Murong Ke. She didn't know why Murong Ke would have such thoughts. Glory, splendor, wealth, supreme honor? Was this enough for him to use Lei Bingfu with a clear conscience?
"Is this the condition after you talked to Lei Huipin?" Ye Zhen asked calmly. She would not misjudge Murong Ke. Lei Bingfu was not a person who coveted glory and wealth. She was such a smart person that she must have seen through Murong Ke's intentions. If she was still willing to cooperate, it was mostly for Ming Yu, not the so-called honor.
"She doesn't need to know so much." Murong Ke said lightly.
Sure enough, he didn't talk to Lei Bingfu! Ye Zhen smiled bitterly. "You don't have to do this. Lei Bingfu is a very good girl. You shouldn't treat her like this. It will hurt her."
"I will have someone secretly protect her." Murong Ke said indifferently. He just wanted to catch the person who hurt Ming Yu, he didn't really want Lei Bingfu to die.
Ye Zhen shook her head helplessly, "I know you are doing this for Ming Yu. Ming Yu is my daughter. No matter who is good to her, I am grateful. You regard Ming Yu as your daughter and are willing to protect her at all costs. However, excessive protection will hurt her. She has been with Lei Huipin for so long. You should be able to see that she really likes Lei Huipin. If in the future Lei Huipin learns that she is favored because she wants to protect Ming Yu, what will Ming Yu think if something happens to her? Have you considered the relationship between her and Ming Yu? You don't have to think about it. Ah Ke, don't protect Ming Yu like this. "
"Can you see Ming Yu getting hurt?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.
"I don't want to see it, but I don't want to see you protect her like this." Ye Zhen said, "Ah Ke, can you … let it go?"
Murong Ke's eyes darkened, and his dark and deep eyes surged with silent sadness. She saw it! No matter how well he concealed it, she still saw it. "Ming Yu is your daughter."
And she is his life.
Ye Zhen's eyes were slightly hot. She felt sad for Murong Ke, but even more helpless. "Ming Yu has her own life. Her life is not given by you or us. It is her own experience. She should learn to protect herself, not like you. You are not protecting Ming Yu by doing this."
Did he transfer his feelings for her to Ming Yu? That's why he was so worried about Ming Yu's safety.
"Yaoyao …" Murong Ke reached out and held Ye Zhen's hand. "The thing I regret the most in my life is letting you come back from Dongqing back then. If I had brought you away before you married Ah Zhan, everything would have been different."
"Come with me." Ye Zhen pulled her hand back and walked into the depths of the grove.
She thought that Murong Ke had long let go of her. Today, she knew that she was still a knot in his heart. If Lei Bingfu was hurt because of her, she would really feel guilty and uneasy. She didn't know before that Murong Ke would become such a persistent person.
He used to be so open-minded and hearty, but now that she looked at him carefully, she found that there was a hidden melancholy in his eyes.
"Yao Yao, where are you going?" Murong Ke saw her walking deeper and deeper into the grove and looked at her back with some doubts.
"I'll tell you a story." Ye Zhen looked back at him and pointed to a pear tree in front of her. There was a dry well next to it. "This is the place where I met Mo Rongzhan for the first time. I was eight years old and he was blind."
Murong Ke was stunned. How many years ago was that? Wasn't she in the border town at that time? He remembered that she returned to the capital when she was fifteen years old. "How did you meet Ah Zhan when he was a teenager?"
Ye Zhen smiled faintly and continued, "At that time, I knew that he was Prince Qin, but he didn't know who I was. I only told him that my nickname was Yao Yao. We agreed to meet three months later. At that time, his eyes had recovered, but I didn't keep the appointment because I was ill. He went to the battlefield. I only hoped that he would return safely and took the initiative to beg my family to marry him. At that time, despite everyone's opposition, knowing that he was hostile to our family, I still wanted to be his princess without hesitation." "That's right.
