Ye Yaoyao's footsteps slowed down. She tried hard to recall who she had seen in the years she was locked up, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember anything in the end.
"I … I don't know." She shook her head vigorously. "Bian didn't tell me anything. I don't know who I offended and why I'm trapped like this."
"Don't think about it if you can't remember." Ye Zhen took her hand and patted her gently on the shoulder. "You won't be locked up again."
Ye Yaoyao looked at Ye Zhen timidly. "Your Highness, am I … useless?"
"Why do you think so?" Ye Zhen's fingers inadvertently rested on her wrist and quietly felt her pulse.
"Compared with you, I feel useless." Ye Yaoyao said shyly.
Ye Zhen was startled, not quite understanding how she compared herself. "Everyone has their own good points. You don't have to compare yourself with others."
This Ye Yaoyao … doesn't seem to be poisoned, and there is no old disease in her body. Is there really a way in this world to make a person completely forget her past memories?
Although there was no need to compare herself with others, Ye Yaoyao couldn't help but compare herself with Ye Zhen. When she was in the palace, she had heard the name Lu Yaoyao from the mouths of the palace maids. Many people compared them together and discussed who was the first beauty in the capital.
Now that Ye Yaoyao saw Ye Zhen, for the first time, she was glad that she was a princess. Otherwise … otherwise, she couldn't say it. She just felt that it was great that Lu Yaoyao was a princess.
It was impossible for a princess to marry the emperor.
Ye Zhen had let go of Ye Yaoyao's hand. She was still thinking about what method Lu Lingzhi would use to make Ye Yaoyao forget everything in the past.
She also thought of the days when her soul wandered in the palace for two years. At that time, she had never heard of the name Ye Yaoyao, let alone knew that Lu Lingzhi had prepared such a chess piece.
When he decided to let Lu Wushuang replace her as Mo Rongzhan's savior, Lu Lingzhi should have already locked Ye Yaoyao up. Was this his last move just in case?
"Yao Yao!" Mo Rongyi's excited voice interrupted Ye Zhen's contemplation.
Ye Zhen had unknowingly walked to the stable. Before they could choose a suitable horse, they saw Mo Rongyi coming back with two wild pheasants.
"You've been gone for a long time, and you only killed two wild pheasants?" Ye Zhen looked at the excited Mo Rongyi with amusement.
Mo Rongyi did not hear the praise. He glared at Ye Zhen and shouted, "What time is this? It's good enough that this king can bring back two wild pheasants."
Ye Zhen laughed, "Oh, it's very good. It's good to have roast chicken wings tonight."
Ye Yaoyao looked at Ye Zhen, who was laughing heartily, in surprise. She thought that Lu Yaoyao's relationship with the little prince was so good. No wonder everyone liked her.
"Who is this?" Mo Rongyi dismounted, only to find a strange woman standing next to Ye Zhen. He pointed to Ye Yaoyao and asked.
Ye Yaoyao was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear. She clearly saw the little prince twice at the Empress Dowager's place, but he actually didn't remember her.
"Little prince, this is Miss Ye." Chun Mei said.
Only then did Mo Rongyi remember who she was. "Oh, this king knows."
"The Empress Dowager knows that you are here and is waiting for you to see her. But you ran into the woods to hunt. Hurry up and greet the Empress Dowager." Ye Zhen gave Mo Rongyi a look and hurried him to see the Empress Dowager.
Because Mo Rongyi was back, Ye Zhen naturally didn't have to go to the woods again, so she went back with Ye Yaoyao.
The Empress Dowager was very happy to see Mo Rongyi. She asked someone to take the two wild pheasants away. Their dinner in the evening was wild pheasant hot pot.
…
…
Ye Zhen didn't have time to see Doctor Qi in the evening. In order to treat the Empress Dowager's sore legs, Doctor Qi was now in the villa.
"Doctor Qi." When Ye Zhen came to find Qi Jin, she was still reading in the study.
"Yao Yao, you are finally back." Qi Jin put down the book in her hand and let Ye Zhen in with a smile. "Only you came back. Is your master still in Zhao Island?"
"I heard that Master is taking care of Mu Qing's funeral. I don't know when he will come back." Ye Zhen said. In fact, she was a little worried that Huang Fuchen would continue to live in seclusion because he was too sad.
Qi Jin was stunned for a moment. "Mu Qing is dead?"
Ye Zhen simply told her what happened after they met Zhao Tianji. "… Master didn't know that Mu Qing was married. He went to Zhao Island just to explain the misunderstanding of that year. He didn't expect Zhao Mingxiao to have such great ambitions. He didn't even let Mu Qing go."
"Ah, I didn't expect things to be like this …" Qi Jin sighed with emotion. "But at least there is news of Mu Qing, so he didn't look for her everywhere like a prodigal son in recent years."
Ye Zhen just felt that it was a pity that Mu Qing died, and in her heart, she felt that Zhao Mingxiao was not a good person.
"Doctor Qi, I heard that you are treating Miss Ye?" Ye Zhen stared at her fingertips and asked about Ye Yaoyao's condition with a smile.
Speaking of Ye Yaoyao, Qi Jin's brows also wrinkled. "In fact, I'm not sure what kind of illness Ye Yaoyao has. She even learned her name from others. I suspect that she was hurt in the past and lost her family. Under the stimulation, she forgot the past. This is also a kind of illness."
Ye Zhen froze for a moment. "Her family?"
Qi Jin said, "The emperor sent someone to investigate her background before. Ye Yaoyao's father came to the capital seven or eight years ago to report on his work. On the way to his post, their family encountered a rainstorm on the river. She was the only one alive. She was rescued by Lu Shide, who happened to be passing by on business. I don't know what happened after that. Her amnesia may be related to this incident."
She came to the capital seven or eight years ago? At that time, it should be the time when she saved Mo Rongzhan. Lu Lingzhi really has the ability to find a person who even matched the time.
Maybe Ye Yaoyao went to the Flower Appreciation Festival that year.
Ye Zhen carefully recalled whether she met Ye Yaoyao in the Hundred Flowers Garden. Unfortunately, she was a noble lady at that time. Most of the people around her were from aristocratic families. She certainly wouldn't have noticed Ye Yaoyao's identity.
It didn't matter if she didn't notice, but someone would certainly remember.
"Why are you interested in Ye Yaoyao's illness?" Qi Jin saw Ye Zhen frowning in contemplation and asked, amused.
Ye Zhen returned to her senses and smiled. "I haven't heard of such a thing before, so I'm interested to ask."
"Tomorrow, I'm going to feel her pulse. Would you like to go with me? Your medical skills may be above mine. Maybe you can see some clues." After the plague in Huaijiang City, Qi Jin had seen the little girl's medical talent.
"Doctor Qi, don't laugh at me. I only know a little." Ye Zhen smiled.
