Ye Yaoyao was happy for less than two days when the news of the Emperor's decree to appoint an Empress came out. Her joyful mood suddenly became worried.
"Chun Mei, what should we do? Yao Yao will be the Empress in the future, will she … "Ye Yaoyao grabbed Chun Mei's hand. She thought the Emperor wouldn't appoint an Empress so quickly. She didn't expect it to be so fast …
"Niang niang, don't worry. You are also a Niang niang now. When you enter the palace in the future, as long as you give birth to a prince and get the Emperor's favor, what is there to be afraid of? Even if she doesn't like you, she can't do anything to you. " Chun Mei comforted, but she still felt scared. She thought that Lu Yaoyao was definitely not as good as their Niang niang. In just one day, she was conferred the title of Empress. Although there was no crowning ceremony, as long as there was no accident, Lu Yaoyao would definitely be able to enter the palace in the future.
Ye Yaoyao touched her shoulder, only hoping that her injury could get better soon.
"Niang niang, today the Department of Internal Affairs will send a few palace maids and aunts over. You will enter the palace soon. There are some rules in the palace that you have to learn." Chun Mei said.
"Rules?" Ye Yaoyao froze for a moment. She still had to learn rules when she entered the palace?
Chun Mei smiled and said, "Yes, this is all for your own good. She is afraid that you will do something wrong when you enter the palace and make the Emperor unhappy. You learn well and in the future, you will know how to please the Emperor."
Ye Yaoyao nodded with a red face, "I know."
As the master and servant were talking, a little maid came outside to report that it was Marquis Jingning who asked to see her.
Chun Mei muttered, "Marquis Jingning is not going to catch the assassin who hurt Niang niang at this time. How can he still have time to come here?"
Ye Yaoyao knew that Tang Zhen was a very important official of the Emperor, so she let Chun Mei invite him in. She got up and sat on the soft couch, separated by a screen in front of her.
Tang Zhen walked in without looking sideways, cupped his hands and bowed. "Miss Ye, this Marquis has something to ask you today. If I offend Miss, please forgive me."
"Our Niang niang is already Concubine Yao, how can Marquis still call her Miss?" Chun Mei snorted.
"Lady Ye has yet to enter the palace. Once Lady Ye enters the palace, it won't be too late for this marquis to respectfully call her Niangniang." Tang Zhen said faintly. Before entering the palace, it meant that there would be changes. Who knew if Ye Yaoyao could really become Concubine Yao in the future?
Even if he became Concubine Yao, there was no need for him to bow and scrape. He was still a marquis.
Ye Yaoyao frowned as she looked at Chun Mei. This was the first time she felt that this servant girl was really unable to accomplish anything and was only good at spoiling things. Why did she always do things that made her lose face. "Marquis Jingning, you are speaking too seriously. I don't know what matter you have come to see me for today. As long as I know, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Tang Zhen said, "It's about the assassin who hurt Miss Ye that day. I have caught the man, but … I still need Miss Ye to confirm it."
"I've never seen what that assassin looks like. How can I help you?" Ye Yaoyao was shocked. Could it be that he had really captured that woman? Weren't they suspecting Hong Ying, who was always by Lu Yaoyao's side?
"You haven't seen the assassin's appearance, but you have heard her voice. As long as you listen to a few more words from her, you may be able to confirm it." Tang Zhen said.
Ye Yaoyao was so shocked that she sat up straight. "You really caught the person … where did you catch her?"
Tang Zhen replied, "In the hot spring villa, the Lu family's manor."
"Well, then how can I confirm it?" When Ye Yaoyao heard this, she felt a storm in her heart. In the Lu family's manor … Could it be Lu Yaoyao's servant girl?
"Is it convenient for Miss Ye to go out today?" Tang Zhen asked.
Ye Yaoyao glanced at Chun Mei and saw that she had been winking at her. She said softly, "I have no problem. I don't know where Marquis needs me to go to confirm the assassin."
"Since Miss Ye can go out, that's good." Tang Zhen smiled faintly. "This marquis will send someone to bring Miss Ye. Please prepare yourself first."
Tang Zhen turned and walked out. Chun Mei immediately cried out, "Your Highness, why did you promise him? Your injury is not easy to recover. How can you go out and bump? What if the wound is torn open? "
"I'm just going to take a look. It won't be a big deal." Ye Yaoyao said. Now she must let this matter come to light as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the outside world continued to suspect Lu Yaoyao, she believed that the emperor would hate her.
Chun Mei couldn't persuade her. She stomped her feet and went to get clothes for Ye Yaoyao to change.
Ye Yaoyao thought in her heart that Chun Mei couldn't be the only one by her side. After all, she was a little palace maid and not too knowledgeable. If the palace maids and aunts sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time were trustworthy, she would definitely choose two good ones to guide her.
Chun Mei still didn't know that Ye Yaoyao was disgusted with her and was still muttering non-stop at the side.
Tang Zhen had already prepared the carriage and was waiting for Ye Yaoyao outside.
"Miss Ye, thank you." Ye Zhen said faintly, motioned for the two old maids next to her to help Ye Yaoyao get on the carriage, and then drove to the Ministry of Justice's prison.
Ye Yaoyao didn't expect to come to the prison. As soon as she saw the gloomy and dark environment around her, her face turned pale with fright. She grasped Chun Mei's hand tightly and followed the two old maids into a dark room.
"Miss Ye, please wait here for a moment." An old maid whispered to Ye Yaoyao.
Ye Yaoyao nodded and stood in the middle of the room, not daring to move.
Not long after, a voice came from the side. She could clearly hear that it was Tang Zhen's voice.
"Who asked you to assassinate Ye Yaoyao?" Tang Zhen asked.
"Lu Yaoyao!" The familiar woman's voice sounded again.
When Ye Yaoyao heard this voice, her expression suddenly changed. It was her! It was this person who hurt her!
Although she had never seen this person before, she could recognize her voice. It must be her.
"Lu Yaoyao's maid was also hurt by you." Tang Zhen asked calmly, "You're not Lu Yaoyao's maid, nor are you her bodyguard. Would you listen to her orders? Are you still holding a grudge against Lu Yaoyao for whipping you? "
"I didn't!" Leng Mei said loudly. "Don't you want to know who instigated me? It's Lu Yaoyao. You go and arrest Lu Yaoyao. "
Tang Zhen smiled faintly. "It seems that this matter has something to do with your master. Without his order, how could you hurt people for Lu Yaoyao?"
"Marquis Jingning, you are my master's friend. Do you want to frame him?" Leng Mei suddenly asked loudly.
"The person who framed him is you. While he is not in the capital, you want to take revenge on Lu Yaoyao. This matter will only implicate him, not help him!" Tang Zhen said coldly, and at the same time, he gave a look to the people next to him that they could take Ye Yaoyao away from here.
Leng Mei looked at Tang Zhen with hatred.
