How could there be nothing going on in the capital? The envoy from Dongqing Kingdom would arrive soon. He came to report to the Emperor today because he wanted to return to the capital city in advance to welcome the envoy. He knew why the Emperor had not returned yet. It was because Yao Yao refused to leave. That was why the Emperor would rather put aside the affairs of the nation and wait for Yao Yao to change her mind. He had been by the Emperor's side for so many years, but this was the first time he saw the Emperor so attentive to a woman. It was to the point of infatuation.

He didn't expect her to be Ye Zhen's sister. Her sister died at the hands of Lu Lingzhi. Apart from resentment towards Lu Lingzhi, Yao Yao should not have forgiven the emperor. Everyone knew how indifferent the emperor was to Ye Zhen.
"Yao Yao, you refuse to go back to the capital with the emperor, is it because of … Ye Zhen?" Tang Zhen asked in a low voice, "I have never seen the emperor treat a woman like this. Ye Zhen was not killed by him. Can you …"
"That's not the reason." The problems between her and Mo Rongzhan could not be explained clearly to others. "I know it was not the emperor who killed Ye Zhen."
She knew better than anyone how she died, but she did not forget what Mo Rongzhan had said.
Who knew if he would misunderstand her again in the future?
"Yanzhi, he … has already been sent away." Tang Zhen saw that she didn't want to mention the emperor, so he talked about Lu Lingzhi, "In fact … in fact, before he left, he wanted to see you."
In the past few days, Ye Zhen had been trying to forget that Lu Lingzhi almost insulted her. When Tang Zhen mentioned it, anger and disgust surged in her chest again. "Brother Tang, I don't want to talk about this person."
Tang Zhen hurriedly said, "I know you don't like Yan Zhi. He is actually pitiful. If he didn't think of you as Ye Zhen, he wouldn't have … Yao Yao, his martial arts have been abolished and he can only live in the wilderness in the future. Isn't this punishment enough?"
Brother Tang, there are still many things that Lu Lingzhi has done that you don't know. There is no need to plead for him. Even if he dies, I will not forgive him. "Ye Zhen said faintly.
"He is also your cousin," Ye Zhen said.
Ye Zhen looked at him with a sneer. "Have you ever seen such an immoral cousin?"
Tang Zhen thought of what Lu Lingzhi had done and was speechless. He didn't know how to plead. "I know that he has gone too far, but … I have been friends with him for many years. Seeing him end up like this, I can't help but pity him."
"A person like him can live well no matter where he goes. You don't have to worry about him." Ye Rou said lightly. "Big Brother Tang, I don't want to talk about him anymore."
"Then … I won't talk about him." Tang Zhen smiled. "Are you really not going to go back to the capital? Even if it's not for yourself, why don't you think about Third Master Lu? "
Ye Zhen froze for a moment, "What happened to my father?"
"You left a letter and ran away. In order to hide the fact that you were going to Dongqing, he refused to say it no matter how the Emperor threatened him. Later, it was Third Madam Lu who spoke. She couldn't do anything about it," Tang Zhen whispered.
"Mo Rongzhan hurt them?" Ye Zhen was suddenly shocked. For her, Lu Shiming and his wife were the most important people in her life besides her father. How could she watch them get into trouble?
Tang Zhen hurriedly said, "No, the Emperor just scared them. He didn't do anything to them."
Ye Zhen bit her lip. "Does the whole Lu family know about my life?"
"Third Master Lu wanted to hide it from Old Madam Lu, but someone deliberately passed the news to the old lady. I heard that the old lady … was stimulated." Tang Zhen glanced at Ye Zhen cautiously. "If you go back, please coax the old lady."
Ye Zhen smiled bitterly and shook her head. How could she coax the old lady? If she were her own granddaughter, she would naturally act coquettishly and unreasonable. But she had become someone else's daughter. For Old Madam Lu, it was inevitable that she would blame the Lu family's misfortunes on her.
"I'm afraid that no matter how I explain it, it will be useless." Ye Zhen said sadly. "Thank you for telling me this."
Tang Zhen smiled and shook his head. In fact, there were some bad rumors that he didn't say. He didn't know who took the lead. It was said that the Lu family suffered misfortune because of Yao Yao. Not only did the Imperial Consort fall out of favor, but even Lu Lingzhi lost his title. Everything was because of Yao Yao. Old Madam Lu fainted because of this.
"Then … do you want to go back and have a look?" Tang Zhen asked.
"When I find my father, I will naturally go back." Ye Zhen said. She still wanted to go back to Lu Shiming and his wife.
Tang Zhen sighed in his heart. It seemed that it would not be so easy for the emperor to persuade Yao Yao to return to the capital.
"Miss!" Hong Ling ran in from the outside, gasping for breath. She looked at Ye Zhen with bright eyes. When she found that Tang Zhen was next to her, she immediately restrained the smile on her face.
Ye Zhen nodded gently and looked at Tang Zhen with a smile.
"Yao Yao, then I will go back first." Tang Zhen knew that her maid must have something to say, so he cupped his hands and said goodbye to Ye Zhen.
When Tang Zhen left, Hong Ling walked to Ye Zhen's side. Although her voice was very low, her eyes still couldn't hide the excitement. "Miss, Uncle Man is here. He received our letter and knew that we were going to Dongqing, so he came to find us."
Ye Zhen looked at Hong Ling in surprise. "Isn't the port closed? How did he come? "
"Uncle Man is not from Dongqing. Miss, would you like to see him first?" Hong Ling asked in a low voice.
She must see him, but how should she do it? Ye Zhen glanced at Mo Rongzhan, who was still in the house. This bastard had been living in this house for days, so Sun Peidong and the others dared not live in it. If she went to see Man Qin, he might follow her.
"Does Uncle Man have any news from my father?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Hong Ling said, "This servant didn't have time to ask. As soon as I heard that Uncle Man was here, I hurried to tell you."
Ye Zhen said, "I'll find a way to meet Uncle Man …"
"Miss, why don't this servant go to see Uncle Man first and ask him about Master?" Hong Ling looked back at the surroundings and asked in a low voice.
"That's good. I won't be able to leave for a while." Ye Zhen nodded gently. Since Uncle Man was here, he must know her father's whereabouts. Otherwise, he would not have come to her.
Ye Zhen's heart was in her throat. After seeing her father, how should she explain her current identity?
Would her father … believe her? If her father knew that she was occupying her sister's body, would he think that she, as a sister, caused her sister to wander outside when she was a child, and that she still occupied her sister's body after her death? Would her father hate her for this?
