Ye Zhen and Pei Shi walked to the front yard together. Lu Shiming was left behind by the old lady to be reprimanded. She told him what she had asked for in Hu Guo Temple that year and how it all came true.
"Mother, has eldest brother's remaining poison been detoxified?" Ye Zhen took Pei Shi's hand. The fright in the hunting ground and the tiredness in the palace seemed to make her feel the warmth she had never felt before.
She and her mother were never close. Sometimes her mother would cry silently when she looked at her. In the past, when she was sick, no matter what happened, her mother never cared. The people who accompanied her growing up had always been her father and grandmother.
What does it feel like to be in her mother's arms? Ye Zhen had never felt it before. Now that she was relying on Pei Shi, she knew that this was the warmth of a mother.
It is said that daughters are intimate little cotton-padded jackets. Although this daughter of hers is not her own, she raised her little by little. Fortunately, she came back safe and sound. Pei Shi thought with emotion, "Your brother's remaining poison has not been completely cured, but today, Mr. Chen said that if he can find another Fire Lotus, your brother can be completely cured. It's a pity that the emperor is not in court yet, otherwise, he can go to the palace and ask for another Fire Lotus from the emperor."
Ye Zhen was secretly shocked. Yes, Qi Jin used the wrong method of Fire Lotus, but Huangfu Chen would never make a mistake. If there was really a Fire Lotus, maybe Mr. Chen could really cure Lu Lingzhi.
"Fire Lotus is not easy to get, and the palace seems to be gone." Ye Zhen said.
Pei Shi sighed, "I hope it can be found elsewhere." She looked at Ye Zhen's white jade-like face. "What have you been doing in the palace these days? How did you meet a tiger that day? "
"Someone wanted to harm us. We met an assassin on the road. When we fled to the woods, we saw the tiger. It came from the mountain. The wall was broken. Fortunately, there was … Brother Tang and the emperor." Ye Zhen whispered.
"The emperor was injured because he saved you?" Pei Shi lowered her voice and asked.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "I was hiding in a tree, and the tree was broken by the tiger."
Pei Shi imagined the situation at that time and was scared to the point of cold sweat. "You are not allowed to go hunting in the future."
"I know, mother." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. "By the way, what about my brother? I haven't congratulated him yet. Now he's a colleague of Father's. "
Not long ago, Lu Xiangzhi took part in the imperial examination and won the third rank. At that time, Ye Zhen happened to be busy in the college. She only knew the news but had not yet congratulated Lu Xiangzhi in person.
Fortunately, Lu Xiangzhi became the Third Prince of the Lu Family, which reduced the sarcastic remarks in Capital City.
"Your brother went to Elder Xu's place today. He probably spent the night there." The corners of Madam Pei's mouth curled up. Her greatest pride was Lu Xiangzhi. Her son had become the Tanhua rank, and in the future, he would be able to support her daughter. She wanted to see who would dare to bully her daughter.
Ye Zhen was really happy for Lu Xiangzhi. Lu Shiming should be promoted soon. In the future, both father and son will be in Hanlin together.
"I heard from your father that Elder Xu doesn't seem to want your brother to stay in Hanlin," Pei shi said in a low voice.
"Why?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully.
Pei shi shook her head and said, "I don't know much about officialdom, and I don't understand it. When your brother comes back, you can ask him yourself."
Before they knew it, they had already arrived at the outer courtyard. However, Lu Lingzhi's servant said that he had already gone to bed. After tossing and turning for most of the day, he was very tired at night and went to bed early.
"Then I will come to see my eldest brother tomorrow." Ye Zhen said faintly.
After returning to her room, Ye Rou finally let go of her exhaustion. Ever since she was saved by Mo Rongzhan, she felt very lost. Before that, she had always been very determined to take revenge, to drag him down from the throne, but now … she actually did not know what to do.
He saved her life, gave her the position of Empress, and did not give her the poisoned wine …
No! He should not be soft-hearted! The previous grievances between him and her could be written off, but what about his great hatred for her father and brother?
What if her father was really killed? She understood that the Ye family had done many evil things and reaped what they had sown, but her father and brother were innocent. He even killed them. For this alone, she should never forgive him for the rest of her life!
She saved his life that year, and now he saved her life. Let's cancel each other out!
Ye Zhen felt that the road ahead of her, which she had been at a loss for several days, suddenly became bright. She smiled slightly and finally fell asleep at ease.
She had not been able to sleep in the palace for two days.
The next day, Ye Zhen woke up full of energy. She didn't plan to enter the palace so early. Anyway, Mo Rongzhan didn't want to see her now. He had Xu Huiru and Huang Fuchen by his side, so nothing would happen.
Instead of visiting Lu Lingzhi, she went to the upper room to find Old Madam Lu, ready to accompany her to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings. However, when she was about to go out, she saw Lu Lingzhi's carriage parked outside. He was already waiting for them in the carriage, saying that he would go to Huguo Temple together.
Ye Zhen felt full of unhappiness at the moment.
Lu Lingzhi looked at her through the window with a gentle smile. "Yao Yao, come and be with your eldest brother. Your eldest brother has something to ask you."
"Go." Old Madam Lu knew that her grandson must have something important to say, so she immediately let Ye Zhen go.
"Grandmother, this is not good." Ye Zhen cursed in her heart. She now wanted to bite Lu Lingzhi to death. How could she be willing to be in the same carriage with him?
Old Madam Lu gave her a look. "What's wrong with it? You are brother and sister. Go quickly."
Ye Zhen reluctantly got into Lu Lingzhi's carriage, chose the farthest place from him, and sat down. She turned her head and looked outside, ignoring him.
Lu Lingzhi smiled bitterly. "Yao Yao, are you still angry with your eldest brother?"
"Eldest brother must be joking. Why should I be angry with you?" Ye Zhen said lightly.
"That day in the palace … I didn't want you to be the scapegoat, it's just …" Lu Lingzhi looked at her cold profile and didn't know how to go on.
If he didn't say it, she wouldn't have remembered it. That day in front of Mo Rongzhan, he vaguely said that Lu Wushuang would not poison her. He brought her into the palace not to exonerate her, but to use her as a scapegoat for Lu Wushuang.
"I just didn't expect the empress dowager and the emperor to trust me so much that they didn't believe what Lu Wushuang said at all." Ye Zhen snorted coldly. "It's a pity that you can't protect your good sister."
"Wushuang should be taught a lesson." Lu Lingzhi whispered.
As if Lu Wushuang would have a chance to come out in the future. Ye Zhen curled her lips and said impatiently, "Is that what you want to tell me?"
Lu Lingzhi shook his head gently and asked in a low voice, "Yao Yao, how is the emperor's injury?"
