Ye Zhen did not argue with Qi Jin because the Empress Dowager and Mo Rongzhan would not agree with her. However, she would always find a way to follow them to Huaijiang.
The next day was Ye Rou's day off, so she left the palace early. Last night, she learned from Qi Jin that Huangfu Chen was going to detoxify Lu Lingzhi. Her heart seemed to be suffocated, and she still felt uncomfortable.
She was going to find Huangfu Chen …
After leaving the palace, Ye Zhen let the carriage take her directly to the bamboo forest of Shiliwu. Huangfu Chen was in the medicine field behind the bamboo forest. When he saw Ye Zhen, he was a little surprised.
"Sir, I heard that you are going to detoxify Lu Lingzhi?" Ye Zhen ran over after getting out of the carriage, gasping for breath.
Huang Fuchen held a few stalks of herbs in his hand and smiled. "I still haven't found the most effective method. Because I've already used the Fire Lotus once, the toxicity has changed, so I have to be more cautious."
"Why did Sir help him?" Ye Zhen's dark and bright eyes looked at Huang Fuchen. She knew that she shouldn't ask Huang Fuchen these questions, but she couldn't help it. The only person in the world who could help Lu Lingzhi was Huang Fuchen. She had always thought that Huang Fuchen would not help Lu Lingzhi.
Huang Fuchen narrowed his eyes at Ye Zhen. "Yao Yao, don't you want me to detoxify your brother?"
Ye Zhen pursed her lips tightly and did not speak. She was now Lu Yaoyao, and Lu Lingzhi was her cousin. Like the rest of the Lu family, she should eagerly hope that Lu Lingzhi could be detoxified as soon as possible. She wanted to ask Huangfu Chen not to save Lu Lingzhi, but she couldn't say anything. ♀
"Yaoyao …" Huangfu Chen lowered his eyes to look at her. His stubborn little face was taut as if there was a secret hidden in his heart that he wanted to say but didn't dare to.
Ye Zhen didn't know what to do. In the past few days, she couldn't get out of the predicament. Now that she learned that Lu Lingzhi had a chance to cure the remaining poison in her body, she was even more confused about what to do next.
"Is it because of your sister, Ye Zhen, or other reasons?" Huang Fuchen asked in a low voice.
"Sir?" Ye Zhen raised her head in surprise. Did Huang Fuchen already know about her life?
Huangfu Chen sighed. "Let's talk inside."
Ye Zhen was surprised. She didn't know that Huang Fuchen already knew about her relationship with the Ye family. He never mentioned it.
Inside the room, Huang Fuchen motioned for Ye Zhen to sit on the opposite side of the coffee table. Seeing her incredulous face, he just smiled. "Are you surprised that I know about your relationship with Ye Zhen?"
"In this world, apart from me, there aren't many people who know about this. Ye Zhen whispered. For a moment, she thought that Huang Fuchen knew that she was Ye Zhen.
Huangfu Chen said with a smile, "I met your father more than ten years ago and performed a divination for you and your sister. Your father helped me a lot, but because of my divination, you had to be sent out of the Ye Family. Therefore, I secretly asked around about you."
Ye Zhen's eyes widened. She really didn't know what to say. She suddenly remembered what Mister Shan had said to her. "Then … Mister Shan is also … you … you asked him to help me?"
"She mentioned it to you?" Huang Fuchen frowned. He didn't expect Lu Yaoyao to have guessed it.
"Mister Shan only said that someone was helping me behind the scenes, but I didn't know it was you." Ye Zhen whispered. She looked up at Huang Fuchen. "Since Mister Shan and my father are old friends, do you know whether my father is alive or dead?"
Huang Fuchen shook his head. "I don't know … It was too late when I found out that the Ye Family had been annihilated. I couldn't save your family in time. However, Yaoyao, forgive me for asking. Since you already knew about your background, why didn't you tell the Lu Family? Or do you have something you can't tell?"
"If Lu Lingzhi knew that I was Ye Zhen's sister, he would not let me go." Ye Zhen smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Mister Shan may not know this, but Ye Zhen was killed by Lu Lingzhi's poisonous wine."
Huang Fuchen was stunned. "What did you say?"
Ye Zhen hesitated for a while and decided not to tell him that she had saved Mo Rongzhan. Anyway, she and Mo Rongzhan were even, and Lu Wushuang was crippled, so there was no need to mention it again.
"When I met Ye Zhen's maid, Lu Lingzhi deceived Ye Zhen's trust. In the end, for Lu Wushuang's sake, he pretended to give Ye Zhen wine. After Ye Zhen died, he burned down King Qin's Mansion. Mister Shan, although I did not live with Ye Zhen, we are sisters. I cannot forgive Lu Lingzhi's despicable and shameless acts." Ye Zhen said simply, but she didn't know if Huang Fuchen would believe her.
How could Huang Fuchen not hear the concealment in Ye Zhen's words? He believed that Lu Lingzhi must have done more than that to Ye Zhen. Otherwise, Yao Yao would not hate him so much.
What did Lu Lingzhi do to make Yao Yao hate him so much? It was said that Lu Lingzhi often went to King Qin's Mansion, so he must be familiar with Ye Zhen. As for Ye Zhen … because Mo Rongzhan hadn't returned for two years, would she … fall in love with Lu Lingzhi?
This was the most likely scenario, because a woman would be heartbroken if she was betrayed after giving her heart.
"Yao Yao, are you here today to ask me not to save Lu Lingzhi?" Huang Fuchen asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen said, "Mister Shan is benevolent and righteous. I dare not stop you, but if I don't avenge Ye Zhen, I will not be able to rest in peace in this life. The Lu family has done me a favor, and I have to repay it. I only ask Mister Shan to delay the detoxification for a few days and let him suffer more.
She didn't dare to ask Huang Fuchen not to detoxify Lu Lingzhi. Anyway, the poison of 'Seven Days of Pain' would spread. The longer it was delayed, the worse it would be for Lu Lingzhi. She didn't know Huang Fuchen very well and didn't dare to trust him wholeheartedly.
Even if Huang Fuchen asked Mister Shan to help her, she didn't dare to trust others easily after experiencing too many betrayals.
Huang Fuchen took a deep look at Ye Zhen. It turned out that this little girl had so many secrets, but he didn't see any of them before. "Yao Yao, does Lu Shiming know that you already know your background?"
"He doesn't know. Please keep it a secret for me. If Lu Lingzhi knows that I am not my father's biological daughter, he will never let me go." Ye Zhen looked at Huang Fuchen pleadingly, showing a nervous and pitiful look.
"Okay." Huang Fuchen nodded gently, knowing that Ye Zhen died in the hands of Lu Lingzhi. He also felt angry in his heart. If Ye Yiqing knew, he would definitely not let Lu Lingzhi go.
"Thank you, Mister Shan …" Ye Zhen glanced at him, biting her lower lip and hesitating.
Huang Fuchen smiled faintly, "I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said here today."
Ye Zhen smiled sincerely, "Thank you, Mister Shan."
