Mo Rongzhan left early the next morning. When he woke up, Ye Zhen was still sleeping. She didn't notice any movement around her at all. She stayed in the hot spring pool for too long last night. She was carried back and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
Looking at the person in his arms, Mo Rongzhan felt an unprecedented satisfaction in his heart. He kissed her on the forehead and got up quietly, fearing that he would wake her up. If she didn't get enough sleep, she would be sulking.
Originally, he wanted to tell her another thing, but he forgot it yesterday.
Huang Fuchen was already on his way back. If she knew, she would be very happy. However, he couldn't say it today. It would be better to wait until he came to see her in two days.
Eunuch Fu was already waiting for Mo Rongzhan outside. He wouldn't be able to make it for today's morning court. The cabinet ministers might already be waiting outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Your Majesty." Seeing Mo Rongzhan coming out, Eunuch Fu hurriedly greeted him.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "Return to the palace."
Eunuch Fu hurriedly agreed and followed behind Mo Rongzhan.
"When will Ye Yaoyao enter the palace?" Mo Rongzhan asked faintly.
"Three days later. I heard that Concubine Yao's injury has improved a lot." Eunuch Fu said.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes flashed with annoyance, "Which palace did she choose?"
Eunuch Fu lowered his head and whispered, "The Empress Dowager said that it was in the Kunning Palace."
Kunning Palace? That's too much praise for Ye Yaoyao! Although Lu Wushuang lived there and he didn't like that place very much, it may not be enough to let Ye Yaoyao live there. "Let her live in the Cuihua Palace."
"Cuihua Palace?" Eunuch Fu was startled. Although the Cuihua Palace was exquisite, it was relatively remote. At least, it was far from the Kunning Palace. Generally, only the unfavored concubines lived there.
It seemed that the emperor really didn't like Ye Yaoyao, and his heart fell on Princess Yao Yao.
Hong Ying waited until the emperor left before entering the room. Seeing that her young miss was still sleeping, she quietly left. She thought that the emperor was really too much. How could he spend the night here? If other people found out, she didn't know what they would say about her young miss.
Fortunately, they were in the manor, and no one else knew about it except her and Eunuch Fu. Thinking of the sounds coming from the hot spring last night, she blushed.
Ye Zhen slept until the sun was high in the sky. When she woke up, she was still a little confused. For a while, she did not remember what happened in the hot spring pool with Mo Rongzhan last night. It was not until she stood in front of the mirror and saw more than half of the red dots on her chest that the memory of last night suddenly came to her mind.
Blushing, she hurriedly put on her clothes and complained about Mo Rongzhan in her heart.
"Miss, are you up?" Hong Ying came in and lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Zhen.
Ye Rou coughed lightly and gathered her clothes. "What time is it?"
"It's already noon. This servant will bring you lunch," Hong Ying said.
"How are your injuries?" Ye Rou saw that Hong Ying no longer looked like an injured person. She was afraid that Hong Ying had disregarded her own health to serve her. "There are some things that can be done by the servant girl. You should rest well."
Hong Ying smiled and said, "Miss, this servant's injuries have mostly healed. It's not a problem for me to walk a few times now."
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Is he … gone?"
He didn't need to say who he was asking about. Hong Ying already knew who it was.
"The emperor left early in the morning and told this servant not to wake you up. He also said that … after you wake up, you should move to Chengde Villa."
This time, Mo Rongzhan should not come to see her again for a few days.
It was the most appropriate time to leave.
"Hong Ying, you came from the palace, didn't you?" Ye Zhen looked outside faintly. Among the maids given to her by the Empress Dowager, her favorite was Hong Ying, who was usually quiet and taciturn. Hong Ling was the only maid left in her previous life, so she needed more confidant maids.
"Miss, this servant came from the palace." Hong Ying said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen looked at her with clear and bright eyes. "You are willing to be loyal to me as your master. No matter what I do in the future, will you only recognize me as your master?"
Hong Ying was slightly stunned. She didn't understand why the girl asked such a question. However, in her heart, when she came to the girl, she only recognized the girl as her master. "Miss, you are the master this servant will be loyal to in this life."
"Even in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, will you give everything for me?" Ye Zhen asked.
"This servant will do whatever the girl asks." Hong Ying said decisively and firmly.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "What if I want you to leave here with me?"
"Wherever the girl goes, this servant will go." Hong Ying said immediately. She must protect the girl's safety.
"Then let's leave tonight." Ye Zhen said in a low voice. "Go back to the house first and come to me after dark."
Hong Ying didn't ask where Ye Zhen was going. Anyway, for her, it was the same wherever the girl went. She must follow.
Not long after, a palace servant from Chengde Manor came. Ye Zhen returned to them. She liked to live in her own manor and sent away the palace servant who came to pick her up.
Ye Zhen had packed up the soft things she was going to take away. Looking at the sky outside, where the sun had already set, she felt inexplicable melancholy.
She took a deep breath and didn't think about what would happen after she left. Now that she had made up her mind, there was no need to hesitate.
It was not until dark that Hong Ying came to Ye Zhen's room again.
Ye Zhen was already ready and waiting for her.
Hong Ying looked at Ye Zhen wearing a set of narrow-sleeved jacket. It looked simple and neat, as if she was going on a long journey. She was more and more surprised.
"We are going to leave through the back door. We can't disturb anyone in the manor." Ye Zhen whispered, "The little maids in the yard have been sent away. You must be vigilant. Never let anyone find us."
Hong Ying nodded heavily. She didn't understand what the girl was going to do.
Ye Zhen smiled and handed the soft things to her. "I just brought some medicine. Everything else has been prepared. Let's go."
At night, the manor was very quiet. It was dark everywhere. Ye Zhen had already sent away all the servants in the yard. When they came to the back door, Hong Ying had already gone forward to open it.
"Who is it?" The little maid who came out of the toilet rubbed her eyes. Why did she seem to see a figure flashing past the back door?
Ye Zhen hid outside and heard that it was the little maid she saw on the first day.
"Let's go!" She nodded to Hong Ying. Now that there was only a little starlight, the little maid might not recognize her. (
