The news that Lu Lingzhi was stripped of his title quickly spread out of the palace. When the Lu family heard it, they all thought they had heard it wrong. How could this be? The emperor showed his intention to marry their daughter in the court yesterday. How could Lu Lingzhi be stripped of his title today?
"What the hell is going on? What crime of deceiving the emperor? What did Yan Zhi do to anger the emperor? " Old Madam Lu was so anxious that she seemed to have aged a few years. She thought that the Lu family was going to be prosperous soon. How could bad luck befall them instead?
"Mother, don't worry. When Yan Zhi comes back, we will know what happened." Lu Shiming supported the old lady and motioned for Pei shi to come and accompany her. Then he went to instruct his other nephews, "Hurry up and find your eldest brother."
Lu Xiangzhi and Lu Tingzhi looked at each other, their faces heavy. "Father, let's go find him right away."
"Third Uncle, will our family be okay?" Lu Tingzhi asked in a low voice.
"No, don't think too much. It's important to find your eldest brother first." Lu Shiming patted them on the shoulder.
"Not good, Third Master, something happened to First Madam." A maid shouted and ran over.
When Mrs. Liu heard that her son's title was gone, she couldn't stand the stimulation. After a scream, she fell unconscious, scaring the maid who served her and hurriedly came to report to Lu Shiming.
For a while, the Lu family was in chaos.
After leaving the palace, Lu Lingzhi did not go home. No one knew where he went and no one could find him.
Tang Zhen came to the Lu family when he heard the news. Seeing that the Lu family was in chaos and Lu Lingzhi was nowhere to be found, he took the initiative to send people out to find him.
Lu Lingzhi went to Prince Qin's Mansion. He sat in the place where Ye Zhen died, recalling the time when he and Ye Zhen first met, remembering her trust and happiness in front of him.
For Shuang 'er and the Lu family, he ignored his own thoughts and killed Ye Zhen with his own hands. In the end, he still got nothing.
Yao Yao … Ye Zhen …
In the end, she didn't completely believe him. Otherwise, why didn't she even tell him her nickname?
However, what was the relationship between Yao Yao and Ye Zhen? It could be a coincidence that the two looked the same, but how could they have the same name? Lu Lingzhi's gray eyes finally showed a glimmer of light. He should first figure out Yao Yao's background.
Lu Lingzhi stood up. So what if he was stripped of his title? As long as he was still alive, he would definitely be able to make a comeback.
After leaving the abandoned King Qin's Mansion, Lu Lingzhi did not know that his whereabouts were still in Mo Rongzhan's grasp.
"After Lu Lingzhi left the palace, he went to King Qin's Residence?" Mo Rongzhan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shen Yi, who had come to report the news.
Shen Yi said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this subordinate has already investigated … Lu Lingzhi is related to Princess Qin's death, but I don't understand why he still went there today."
Mo Rongzhan had asked Tang Zhen and Shen Yi to investigate what happened that year. Ye Zhen's death was indeed strange, but it had been too long. No one in Prince Qin's Mansion survived. They could only vaguely find out that Ye Zhen's death was related to Lu Lingzhi.
It was also because he was investigating Lu Lingzhi that he found out about Lu Wushuang. As for Ye Yaoyao, Mo Rongzhan had long suspected it.
However, Mo Rongzhan felt that Lu Lingzhi's feelings for Ye Zhen were definitely not so simple.
When Lu Lingzhi returned to the capital as a spy, he often came into contact with Ye Zhen … Did he fall in love with her?
Since Lu Lingzhi had fallen in love with Ye Zhen, why did he poison her?
This was what Mo Rongzhan couldn't understand.
"Go down and keep an eye on him. Don't let him go to Chengde Villa to find the princess." Mo Rongzhan said faintly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yi responded. The emperor didn't want Lu Lingzhi to go to the princess to plead.
…
…
After the Empress Dowager left, Ye Zhen and Ye Yaoyao spent two days leisurely in the villa every day. Mo Rongyi was already impatient and insisted that she accompany him to hunt.
Ye Yaoyao's horsemanship was not good, so she could only wait outside the woods, unable to follow Ye Zhen and the others to hunt.
"Yi, do you know why the Empress Dowager returned to the palace?" Ye Zhen rode beside Mo Rongyi. She always felt that the child was no longer the little boy of a year ago. He had grown up unknowingly.
Mo Rongyi's expression flickered. "How would I know?"
"Did the emperor want the Empress Dowager to go back?" Ye Zhen remembered that night when Mo Rongzhan quietly appeared here. It couldn't be such a coincidence that the Empress Dowager would go back on the first day.
"The Bai family's daughter is dead. Of course, the Empress Dowager has to go back." Mo Rongyi said, still not looking at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen snorted coldly. "Don't think that I don't know. The emperor didn't want to confer the title of Empress Dowager to the Bai family. Yi, tell me the truth. What happened in the capital?"
"How do you know?" Mo Rongyi turned his head in surprise. "Did my brother tell you?"
"Hmph, did the emperor tell you to hide it from me and not let me know what happened in the capital now?" Ye Zhen asked angrily.
Mo Rongyi chuckled. "In fact, it's not a bad thing. It's just that the Bai family's daughter is dead. My brother's reputation is even worse. Those ministers are worried that my brother will not be able to give birth to a Crown Prince, so they invited the abbot of Hu Guo Temple to the palace …"
Ye Zhen's face was gloomy as she listened to Mo Rongyi tell her what happened in the hall that day. She was so angry that her fingers trembled, "… So, I've become a noble person who can't marry anyone but the emperor?"
"Isn't that good?" Mo Rongyi snickered, "Once muhou abolishes your princess title, your identity will be completely fine."
Mo Rongzhan, that bastard! It turned out to be this!
"I don't want to go hunting. I want to go back to the capital!" Ye Zhen said angrily. She now wanted to scratch Mo Rongzhan to death.
"Eh? What are you doing in the capital at this time? " Mo Rongyi hurriedly stopped her. "The capital must be talking about it. You'd better not listen to those words."
"What does Mo Rongzhan think of me? He made up stories about me without even asking me!" Ye Zhen cried angrily.
"Isn't it all because of you?" Mo Rongyi whispered. "Yao Yao, wait for me."
Ye Zhen rushed out of the woods and saw Ye Yaoyao still waiting outside. Most of her anger suddenly dissipated, leaving only helplessness. There was still a girl here who had deep feelings for Mo Rongzhan. She didn't know how to explain it to her in the future.
"Miss Ye, I want to go back to the capital first. What about you?" Ye Zhen went over and asked.
Ye Yaoyao froze for a moment. "I'll follow you."
"Then …" Ye Zhen was about to say that they should go back now when she saw Yu Ping rushing over.
"Princess!" Yu Ping panted and came to Ye Zhen's side, whispering in her ear, "The Marquis has been abolished."
