Mo Rongyi also hoped that the Empress Dowager would stay in Prince Yi's mansion for the convenience of taking care of her. Murong Ke did not insist. After a few words with Ye Zhen, he left with Lei Bingfu.
Ye Zhen stayed in Prince Yi's mansion to wait for the Empress Dowager to fall asleep. She still had to check the Empress Dowager's pulse in order to determine how to treat her illness.
About half an hour later, the Empress Dowager fell asleep.
Zhao Ning personally came to bring Ye Zhen into the room.
"The Empress Dowager speaks incoherently. Only Lu Wushuang next to her knows what she is talking about. Even Ah Yi can't understand her. I stood next to her, but she didn't even look at me. Ah Yi hugged Jun Ge and showed him to her. Only then did she look better." Zhao Ning complained to Ye Zhen in a low voice.
"It's already very good." Ye Zhen smiled. The Empress Dowager in the past would naturally not be like this. However, after being hypnotized by Ye Yaoyao, her temperament had changed greatly. Her eyes were always filled with hostility.
"That Lu Wushuang is still inside." Zhao Ning lowered his voice and entered the room with Ye Zhen.
Lu Wushuang stayed by the Empress Dowager's side. When she saw Ye Zhen come in, she shrunk her shoulders in nervousness and fear.
"You go out first." Mo Rongyi said to Lu Wushuang.
"No!" Lu Wushuang held the Empress Dowager's hand and looked at Ye Zhen vigilantly, as if she would hurt the Empress Dowager.
Mo Rongyi's face hardened and he lowered his voice. "Go out if I tell you to. Will this Prince hurt his own mother?"
Lu Wushuang was startled by Mo Rongyi's expression. She pointed to Ye Zhen and said, "She … she is a ghost! She will take the Empress Dowager away!"
"Nonsense!" Mo Rongyi shouted. "How can there be a ghost in the middle of the day?"
Zhao Ning frowned and ordered Lin Zhiran, "Take her away."
Lin Zhiran stepped forward and took Lu Wushuang's hand. She tried to coax and persuade her to leave.
"Sister-in-law!" Mo Rongyi smiled helplessly at Ye Zhen.
"She really looks like a fool." Ye Zhen looked at the disappearing figure of Lu Wushuang. "Did you find out how she got to the Empress Dowager?"
Mo Rongyi said, "I sent someone to check. I heard that she was a beggar on the roadside and was picked up by the Empress Dowager when she passed by. She probably recognized her identity and brought her back to the palace."
"So, the empress dowager was not sick when she picked her up." Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"The palace maids said that the Empress Dowager was no longer nimble at that time. Lu Wushuang took good care of Mother," Mo Rongyi said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen did not say anything more. Instead, she sat on the brocade chair beside the bed and carefully felt the Empress Dowager's pulse.
A person could pretend to be sick, but the changes in the body's pulse could not be faked. Especially at the Empress Dowager's age, it was even more impossible for her to control her own meridians.
The Empress Dowager was really old and sick.
Mo Rongyi looked at Ye Zhen nervously. Seeing that she did not speak after withdrawing her hand, he could not help but whisper, "Sister-in-law?"
Ye Zhen never thought that seeing the Empress Dowager again would be like this. The Empress Dowager, who once loved her and then hated her to the bone, was now like a helpless old woman, lying on the bed, unable to sit up.
"Dementia is difficult to cure. The Empress Dowager refuses to let me approach her. Otherwise, I would be able to perform acupuncture on her." Ye Zhen whispered.
"Mother may just be confused for a moment. Maybe she will be fine tomorrow." Mo Rongyi said.
Ye Zhen smiled. "I will rewrite the prescription. Take the medicine for a few days first. When the Empress Dowager is willing to let me treat her, I will perform acupuncture on her."
Now, this was the only way.
"Okay." Mo Rongyi responded in a low voice.
"I'll go out and see Lu Wushuang." Ye Zhen's eyes were cold. She still felt that it was not an accident that Lu Wushuang appeared beside the Empress Dowager.
Lu Wushuang was on the steps outside the room. Opposite her was Lin Zhiran. When she saw Ye Zhen coming out, she took two steps back in fear.
Ye Zhen came in front of Lu Wushuang and looked at her coldly. The fear and tension on her face could not be seen at all.
"Give me your hand." Ye Zhen whispered, clasping Lu Wushuang's hand.
The pulse was steady, and the body did not seem to be ill.
"What's your name?" Ye Zhen asked.
Lu Wushuang's hand trembled. She was really afraid of Ye Zhen. Even her voice was filled with fear. "I … My name is Lu Wushuang."
"You remember your name, but don't you remember anything else?" Ye Zhen asked coldly.
"Yes, the Empress Dowager said my name was Lu Wushuang. My original name was Silly Beggar."
Ye Zhen pinched her pulse. "Where did you come from?"
"I don't know, I don't know anything." Lu Wushuang cried and struggled to break free from Ye Zhen's hand.
"How can you not even know where you came from? Who released you from the Yuan Palace?" Ye Zhen's eyes grew colder and colder. She felt that Lu Wushuang's appearance would not be so simple.
She had been locked up in the Yuan Palace for so many years. If no one released her, she would not have been able to get out.
Who released Lu Wushuang? What was the purpose of that person?
How did that person turn Lu Wushuang into this?
"I … I really don't know." Lu Wushuang burst into tears.
Mo Rongyi looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. "Sister-in-law?"
Ye Zhen let go of Lu Wushuang's hand and looked at her coldly. "Keep an eye on her, don't let her leave this yard."
"Sister-in-law, I know what to do." Mo Rongyi said.
Lu Wushuang shrank timidly to the side, not even daring to look at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen frowned. In Lu Wushuang's body, there was no trace of the arrogance of the past at all. If she was not sure that the person in front of her was Lu Wushuang, she would have suspected that it was someone else who looked similar.
After leaving Prince Yi's Mansion, Ye Zhen went to the Lu family.
Pei Shi had returned from the Hundred Flower Garden and was playing with Lu Xianglan in the courtyard.
After meeting Pei Shi, Ye Zhen went to find Lu Xiangzhi.
"What? Lu Wushuang came back with the Empress Dowager? "Lu Xiangzhi stood up in surprise." How did she get to the Empress Dowager's side? "
Lu Tingzhi's letter said that Lu Wushuang was not in the Yuan Palace. They did not take it seriously. They thought that even if Lu Wushuang escaped from the palace, it would not be easy for her to survive outside. Who would have thought that she would go to the Empress Dowager's side?
"Is there any news from Second Brother?" Ye Zhen asked. She wanted to know who released Lu Wushuang from the palace.
Lu Xiangzhi shook his head gently. "I was afraid that people would find out that he was communicating with me, so I did not contact him again."
Ye Zhen thought about it and said, "It's okay, I will let someone check it out."
"I have to tell Father and Mother about this. Father may go to see her." Lu Xiangzhi said. His father had always been worried about the first branch.
"I understand." Ye Zhen nodded. "Lu Wushuang has forgotten everything now. She behaves like a child. If she can remember the past when she sees Father, it will be a good thing."
