Mo Rongzhan knew what Ye Zhen was angry about. She was angry that he ordered the port to be sealed. She had not spoken to him for three days. Even if he appeared in front of her every day, no matter how he teased and talked to her, she still treated him as if he did not exist. 【】
He knew what she wanted, but he could not promise her. If it did not work, he would simply take her back to the capital.
"Where is Yao Yao?" Mo Rongzhan had read all the memorials sent from the capital. He was worried about the little girl, so he called Eunuch Fu in to ask.
Eunuch Fu replied, "Your Majesty, the princess is talking to Marquis Jingning in the courtyard."
Mo Rongzhan frowned faintly. At this critical moment, he was more concerned about her being close to other men than before. What if … she felt that he was worse? "Does Marquis Jingning have nothing to do? Isn't he going back to the capital? Why is he still in the mood to gossip here? "
"…" Eunuch Fu glanced at Mo Rongzhan. "Your Majesty, Marquis Jingning only said a few words to the princess and has left."
Mo Rongzhan's face relaxed a little. He said faintly, "What is the princess doing?"
"Answering to your majesty, this slave saw her maid come back and is talking to her. The princess seems to be in a good mood." Eunuch Fu said with a smile.
"Well, you may go." Mo Rongzhan waved his hand and sent Eunuch Fu away.
Mo Rongzhan tidied up his clothes in the room and opened the door to see Ye Zhen. Unfortunately, as before, Ye Zhen did not want to talk to him at all. She did not even look at him.
"Yao Yao …" Mo Rongzhan took her little hand and gently pulled her into his arms. "Don't be angry with me, okay?"
"How dare I, your majesty!" Ye Zhen said coldly.
It seemed that she was in a good mood today. Otherwise, how could she talk to him? Although her tone was still cold, it was good that she was willing to talk to him. He smiled and whispered in her ear, "What else do you not dare to do?"
Ye Zhen pushed his hand away. "When will you let the port sail?"
Mo Rongzhan did not answer her, just looked at her silently.
"Why do you want me to go back to the capital with you? Everyone in the Lu family knows about my past. It will spread throughout the capital sooner or later. Do you think those officials in the court will let you make me empress? When the Ye family was beheaded, which minister didn't throw stones at me when I was down? In order not to be retaliated by me, they might even want to join forces to kill me. You … have you ever thought about this? "Ye Zhen asked angrily.
"I will protect you." Mo Rongzhan pursed his thin lips. He would not let anyone hurt her, including himself.
Ye Zhen felt too tired to be entangled with him on this issue. She sighed. "Mo Rongzhan, please let me go."
Mo Rongzhan held her hand tightly. "I can't let go, Ye Zhen."
"You …" Ye Rou was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She grabbed his hand and bit it hard.
"Do you want to take another bite here?" Mo Rongzhan looked at her with a smile and extended his other hand.
Ye Zhen looked up and saw his eyes full of doting smile. Even though she told herself to be hard as iron, the tip of her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. She shook off his hand. "I just won't go with you. I'll see how long you can stay here."
Mo Rongzhan was about to say that he would look after her no matter how long it took, but she had already turned and ran away angrily.
For the next two days, Ye Zhen could not find a chance to go out to see Man Qin. Either Mo Rongzhan followed her or his secret guards followed her. She didn't want Mo Rongzhan to know that Man Qin was in Hamu City, so she had to let Hong Ling go to see him and bring what Man Qin wanted to say to her.
Mo Rongzhan didn't care where Hong Ling went. He only cared about Ye Zhen's safety, so he didn't know that Hong Ling went to see Sun Peidong and Man Qin.
When it was getting dark, Hong Ling went to see Ye Zhen with joy.
"Miss, Uncle Man told us not to go to Dongqing. Master is on his way to the capital. He asked us to go to the capital to meet him first." Hong Ling held back her excitement. Finally, there was news of her master.
"Are you serious? My father is already in the capital? "Ye Zhen asked in surprise. How could her father go to the capital? Did he … did he go to find her?
"This servant doesn't know. Uncle Man didn't say it clearly. He only said that it was the master's order. Miss, let's not go to Dongqing. Let's go back to the capital and wait for the master." Hong Ling whispered.
Ye Zhen's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. That means I have to go back with Mo Rongzhan …
"Then let's go back. We will set off tomorrow. I don't want to delay one more day." Ye Zhen couldn't wait to see her biological father, although she hadn't thought about what to say when she saw him.
Even if Man Qin introduced her to him, he would say Lu Yaoyao. Perhaps in her father's mind, she was just the daughter he sent away many years ago, not the Ye Zhen he watched grow up.
She only hoped that her father would not be frightened by her when the time came.
"Miss, then … what should I say to the emperor?" Hong Ling asked in a low voice.
If Mo Rongzhan knew that she was going back to the capital, he would be very happy. Ye Zhen curled her lips, feeling that it was too easy for him. "I'll go and tell him. You go and prepare first. Hong Ying's injury has not healed yet. Prepare a carriage for her."
"Yes, miss."
Ye Zhen didn't go to Mo Rongzhan immediately, lest she raise his suspicions.
At dinner, Mo Rongzhan came to her room as usual. She nibbled her chopsticks gently and looked up at his handsome face. She fell in love with him because he was good-looking. She really didn't know how she could have kept him in her heart for so many years at the age of eight.
Now that there were no secrets between them, he treated her better than before. Ye Zhen was not a wooden person. She naturally felt something in her heart, but … in the end, she couldn't calm down.
"What's wrong? Don't you like these? "Mo Rongzhan saw that she couldn't eat much and immediately asked Eunuch Fu to remove all the dishes.
"No need to change." Ye Zhen quickly stopped him. "I have something to say to you."
Mo Rongzhan looked at her with deep eyes, looking a little nervous, fearing that she would say something he couldn't accept.
"Since you refuse to allow the port to sail, instead of implicating those merchants who are eager to do business, I will go back to the capital with you, but …" Ye Zhen thought of all the problems she would face when she returned to the capital, and she couldn't help but feel a headache. She thought that she could just leave. Even if she came back, it would be many years later. Now that she went back, she didn't know how to face Old Madam Lu. "You are not allowed to mention the Empress again."
"Good!" Mo Rongzhan agreed without hesitation. Anyway, their wedding date was next year. He would mention it to her after the New Year.
Ye Zhen looked at him suspiciously. She felt that he was both cunning and shameless. She didn't know what he would do when she returned. "Don't interfere in the affairs between me and the Lu family."
"Good!" Mo Rongzhan nodded. As long as she was willing to go back, he was willing to agree to any conditions.
"Then go back tomorrow!" Ye Zhen lowered her head and pursed her lips into an expectant smile. Finally, she could go back to see her father.
