!!
Shui Miaomiao was plump because of her pregnancy. Coupled with her bad mood, she looked listless. From afar, Ye Zhen saw her sitting on a rattan chair in the courtyard, eating grapes.
It was as if he had given up on himself.
"Miaomiao, look who's here." Zhao Tianji called out in a cheerful tone.
Shui Miaomiao lazily turned around and saw Ye Zhen standing beside Zhao Tianji. Her eyes finally lit up.
"Big sis Yaoyao …" Shui Miaomiao abruptly stood up, and before she could say anything, tears had already flowed out.
"Why are you crying?" Zhao Tianji was startled by her and hurried over to comfort her. "It's a good thing that Yaoyao came to see you. Why are you crying?"
Shui Miaomiao pushed Zhao Tianji away and walked towards Ye Zhen with her big belly.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Ye Zhen stepped forward to support her. "Be careful, your belly is so big, but you are still so unstable."
"I'm glad to see you." Shui Miaomiao cried, her face full of tears. "Yao Yao, bring me away this time. I don't want to stay in Yuan Country anymore."
"What are you talking about?" Ye Zhen said helplessly, "Can you leave here?"
Shui Miaomiao choked and said, "Yes, I want to go back to Zhao Island with Ah Ji. Anyway, there is no place for us here."
Ye Zhen looked up at Zhao Tianji.
Zhao Tianji nodded helplessly. "Originally, we were planning to wait for Miaomiao to give birth before bidding farewell to His Majesty and going to the Zhao Family Island."
"Sit down first. What happened?" Ye Zhen said to Shui Miaomiao, "Why did you quarrel with your brother? You are now the princess of Yuan Country. Shui Yichen will not let you go to Zhao Island."
"He stopped treating me as a sister a long time ago." Shui Miaomiao cried out in grievance, "He only has that Imperial Concubine Ye in his heart. He listens to everything she says. If I say a single wrong word about her, big brother will reprimand me. Yao Yao, you don't know, that Ye Wei is simply a monster. Before, big brother was still fine, but ever since he brought her into the palace, his entire person changed."
It was actually because of Ye Wei!
Ye Zhen remembered that when she left Yuan Kingdom, Shui Yichen did not care much about Ye Wei. Otherwise, Ye Wei would not have come to her.
"What did Ye Wei do?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"She's too vicious!" Shui Miaomiao was so angry that her whole body trembled. "She killed all the pregnant concubines in the palace. That method is too cruel … I …"
Zhao Tianji said hurriedly, "Don't think about it, or you'll have nightmares again tonight."
Ye Zhen held Shui Miaomiao's hand. "I see. You quarreled with Shui Yichen because of this?"
"No, this is the first time I know how vicious Ye Wei is." She didn't like Ye Wei in the past. She thought that her brother was just a substitute for Ye Wei. However, Ye Wei chopped off the hands and feet of her brother's personal maid and threw her into the Cold Palace. She only went to take a look, and her whole body turned sour.
But her brother actually said that Ye Wei had a reason for doing this.
What was the reason? What was the reason for doing such a cruel thing?
"Not only that, she also told my brother that those who followed us from Hua Country were disloyal. My brother actually believed her, killed them and exiled them. Now, my brother is surrounded by Ye Wei's people …" The more Shui Miaomiao spoke, the angrier she became. "My brother was not such a person before. Before he became the emperor, he didn't value Ye Wei at all. I don't understand why he changed after becoming the emperor."
Ye Zhen gently patted the back of Shui Miaomiao's hand. "What's the difference between Ye Wei and before?"
"I haven't seen her for a long time. Two months ago, I went to the palace and scolded her. Hmph, she knows that my brother likes you, so she dresses more and more like you and looks younger and younger …" Shui Miaomiao said bitterly.
"Miaomiao!" Zhao Tianji stopped her. These words couldn't be said in front of Yao Yao.
Shui Miaomiao also knew that these words were not good. She looked at Ye Zhen awkwardly.
Ye Zhen didn't take it to heart. She was just curious about how Shui Yichen's attitude towards Ye Wei changed so quickly. She wanted to know what kind of person Ye Wei had become.
"By the way, I only care about myself. Sister Yao Yao, why did you come to Yuan Country?" Shui Miaomiao wiped the tears on her face and looked at Ye Zhen doubtfully. Why did she come without any news? Something must have happened.
"I came to investigate something." Ye Zhen said, "I once locked a person in the cold palace and wanted to know who let her go."
"Ye Wei is in charge of the palace. Who else could it be but her?" Shui Miaomiao snorted.
Why did Ye Wei let Lu Wushuang go?
Zhao Tianji glanced at Ye Zhen. Why did he feel that she came to the Yuan Kingdom in person? It was not just for this matter. She had asked him to investigate it before. There was no need for her to come here in person.
"Lu Wushuang was indeed released by Imperial Concubine Ye, but the cold palace and other people were also sent out of the palace." Zhao Tianji said, "The emperor also knows about this."
"Then why didn't I know?" Shui Miaomiao asked angrily.
Zhao Tianji said helplessly, "You were still at odds with the emperor at that time. Naturally, you didn't pay much attention to it. You were in a bad mood, so I didn't tell you."
Shui Miaomiao snorted coldly.
"Do you know what Lu Wushuang did after leaving the palace?" Ye Zhen looked up at Zhao Tianji.
Zhao Tianji said, "I sent someone to investigate. When she left the palace, she was already delirious and had been begging on the roadside. Later, she was taken away by a traveling merchant. Perhaps he saw that she was beautiful and tricked her into becoming his wife."
Traveling merchant? Ye Zhen frowned and said nothing. It seemed impossible to find out how Lu Wushuang went to the Empress Dowager's side.
"Sister Yao Yao, you must take me with you this time." Shui Miaomiao still did not give up.
"Your belly is so big. How can you still walk around? I will find Shui Yichen." Ye Zhen said softly, "Ye Wei … I also want to know who she is."
Zhao Tianji said, "Yao Yao, she is not simple. You have to be careful."
Ye Zhen nodded gently. Mo Rongzhan went to the harem to investigate Ye Wei. When he came back, she would know.
Just as she was thinking, a maid came back and reported that someone outside was looking for Ye Zhen.
"It's Ah Zhan." Ye Zhen said.
Zhao Tianji personally went out to greet Mo Rongzhan.
Shui Miaomiao was a little afraid of Mo Rongzhan. When she saw him, she did not dare to lean on Ye Zhen and obediently sat by herself.
"How is it?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Not in the palace." Mo Rongzhan's eyes were cold. He had walked all over the harem and did not find any trace of the blood insect people. However, there was a strange force following him, as if staring at him.
"Ye Wei is not in the palace? Then where did she go? "Ye Zhen asked in surprise.
Mo Rongzhan shook his head gently. This was not the place to talk, so he did not tell Ye Zhen about the abnormality in the palace.
