Ye Zhen looked at the slender figure standing in the corner with disheveled hair. Sure enough, it was Ye Yaoyao! Why was she hiding here and crying?
"Miss Ye, what are you doing here?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise. Here, everyone respected her as half a master. Who dared to let her suffer grievances?
"I … I'm fine." Ye Yaoyao wiped the tears on her face in a panic and looked at Ye Zhen, who was only wearing a robe. "Princess, did this common girl disturb you?"
Ye Zhen shook her head lightly. "Did someone make you feel wronged today?"
Today, she originally wanted to go with Doctor Qi to take Ye Yaoyao's pulse, but she was interrupted by Lu Lingzhi's arrival. Riding the horse in the forest, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely. She only felt that her whole body was comfortable and she could not remember what she said to Doctor Qi yesterday.
"No, it's … it's my own problem." Ye Yaoyao said. How could she tell others that she was crying because she accidentally heard from the Empress Dowager that the Emperor was going to choose an Empress? For so long, she thought that what others said was true. Sooner or later, the Emperor would bring her back into the palace and treat her well. But now that he was going to choose an Empress, it seemed … he didn't think of her at all.
Did the emperor forget about her?
Seeing that she refused to say it, Ye Zhen naturally would not force her. She just advised her lightly, "If you are wronged, tell the Empress Dowager. Don't hide here and cry alone."
"I'm not wronged." Ye Yaoyao whispered. She walked in front of Ye Zhen and said shyly, "It's just that I accidentally heard something today. I was sad for a while, but I didn't dare to let Chun Mei know, so I hid here in the hot spring pool."
"What did you hear?" Ye Zhen looked down at her swollen eyes. It seemed that she had been crying here for a long time.
Since Ye Yaoyao was rescued, although she lived a carefree life and was loved by the Empress Dowager, everyone said that she was the girl the Emperor couldn't forget. In the future, she would certainly be rich and powerful, but her heart was always very uneasy. She felt that everything was too unreal.
"Yao Yao …" Ye Yaoyao glanced at Ye Zhen timidly. "Can you tell me what kind of person the emperor is?" Ye Zhen asked, "What kind of person is the emperor?"
Ye Zhen was stunned, "Your Majesty?"
"That's right. Actually, I haven't seen His Majesty much, but … I really want to know what kind of person he is. Everyone says that His Majesty is brave and powerful, that he is the greatest Emperor of Jin Country. Every time I see him, I don't even dare to raise my head to look at him." Ye Yaoyao's cheeks were hot, and her heart was thumping faster.
"Are you hiding here crying because of the emperor?" Ye Zhen was even more stunned.
Ye Yaoyao had never confided her worries to anyone. The only person who could listen to her was Chun Mei. However, Chun Mei would only say some flattering and comforting words every time, which couldn't really make her feel at ease. She felt that in the entire Chengde Villa, the only person she could trust the most was Lu Yaoyao. Moreover, Lu Yaoyao seemed like someone who would listen to her.
"I accidentally heard someone say that His Majesty is going to appoint an Empress. I couldn't help but say this." Ye Yaoyao said embarrassedly.
"You …" Ye Zhen looked at her in shock. Did Ye Yaoyao like Mo Rongzhan? She hadn't seen him much, had she? How could she … be so deeply in love with him?
Ye Yaoyao hurriedly said, "I don't expect anything. I'm just a little sad. The emperor … he seems to be cold and ruthless. If I can get a little of his attention, I will die without regrets."
"Die without regrets?" Ye Zhen looked at Ye Yaoyao in a daze. She didn't expect that she had fallen in love with Mo Rongzhan. Didn't she say that she had only spoken a few words to him? She fell in love so easily. If the truth came out in the future, Ye Yaoyao would no longer have the protection of her savior. What should she do?
"When I was in the capital, those people said … said that I would enter the palace as a concubine in the future, and that I would be more favored than Imperial Concubine Lu. In fact … I dare not hope so. As long as I can stay with the emperor, I am already satisfied." Ye Yaoyao's face showed a yearning smile. "Yaoyao, do you think … the emperor will like me?"
How could Ye Zhen answer this? If Mo Rongzhan liked Ye Yaoyao, he probably wouldn't have sent her out of the palace in the first place. And in her heart, naturally, she didn't want him to like any other woman.
Ye Yaoyao didn't seem to expect Ye Zhen to answer her. She covered her mouth and chuckled. "I don't know what kind of person the empress will be. I hope she is gentle and honest, and easy to get along with in the future. "
Easy to get along with in the future …
Was she already convinced that she would enter the palace as a concubine in the future?
"Miss Ye." Ye Zhen looked at her with a wry smile. "Now it's just hearsay. It's not confirmed yet. You … don't think too much."
"I don't dare to think too much. Chun Mei always said that I can become the empress in the future, but I am just an orphan girl without memory. How can I be worthy of being the empress?" Ye Yaoyao whispered.
Ye Zhen suddenly felt that it was not a good thing to have a delusional maid around her. Let's see how Chun Mei coaxed Ye Yaoyao.
"Miss Ye, do you really have no memory of the past?" Ye Zhen motioned her to sit down at the coffee table next to her and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"I want to remember, but my mind is blank. I can't remember the past at all." Ye Yaoyao said.
If it was not because of injury that caused amnesia, could it be that she was poisoned? But what kind of poison was so powerful that there were no symptoms at all, making Ye Yaoyao's pulse as normal as that of a normal person. "Do you know Lu Wushuang?"
Ye Yaoyao shook her head gently. "When I was locked in that room, I only saw two people. One was Mama Li, the other was a man in black … I don't know who he is."
"Man in black? What did he do to you? "Ye Zhen asked immediately, suspecting that the man in black might be Lu Lingzhi.
"She taught me to write … She taught me the four arts." Ye Yaoyao said. "That girl should be a good person."
Ye Zhen exclaimed in surprise, "Girl? Isn't it a man? "
"Although I didn't see what he looked like, he was dressed like a woman, but he was very tall." Ye Yaoyao said.
It seemed that nothing could be asked. Either Ye Yaoyao pretended to have amnesia, or Lu Lingzhi used a very powerful medicine to make her forget everything. Both cases required time to prove.
What surprised her the most now was that Ye Yaoyao liked Mo Rongzhan so much.
"Yaoyao, after telling you so much, I don't feel sad anymore. You are right, I shouldn't think too much. As long as I continue to wait in peace, I will definitely get what I want in the future." Ye Yaoyao said with a smile.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, speechless.
