?
Ye Zhen knew that someone would come to Mo Rongyi soon. She didn't intend to stay and claim credit. Anyway, he remembered her and would naturally remember her for saving his life in the future.
She wanted to go back to Mister Dan, but she didn't see his figure. She guessed that Mister Dan would not come in to accompany her hunting, so she went to hunt two pheasants alone. As soon as she came out of the woods, she saw Mo Rongzhan at the intersection.
He seemed to be looking for someone. When he looked back and saw her, his eyes became cold.
Why is Mo Rongzhan here? Ye Zhen was shocked. Is it because of Mo Rongyi?
Should I dismount and salute him? Ye Zhen hesitated. She didn't want to salute Mo Rongzhan at all, but now he was the emperor, and she was just the daughter of a small official. In front of him, she was as humble as an ant.
"Did you save the little prince?" Mo Rongzhan stared at Ye Zhen with burning eyes. Today, he really saw the woman's appearance clearly. She was more beautiful than he had imagined. She was fragrant and tender, more beautiful than a flower. She really had a bit of pink, crisp, and delicate beauty.
Ye Zhen looked up at Mo Rongzhan and saw the rope in his hand. She understood at once that it was the knot!
That was the binding method that her father had taught her. Back then, when she had saved him with the tree roots, she had also used this binding method to connect the tree roots.
"I am asking you a question!" Mo Rongzhan said coldly, staring straight at her face.
"Yes …" Ye Zhen answered him in a low voice, her throat a little uncomfortable. She had been married to him for two years, and her soul had been with him for two years. This was the first conversation between them.
Mo Rongzhan held the rope in his hand. "Who taught you to tie this knot?"
He had asked someone to check. The woman in front of him had never been to the capital, so she couldn't have saved him, but she might know the girl.
Ye Zhen shook her head gently. "I don't remember."
Mo Rongzhan turned over and dismounted. Step by step, he came to Ye Zhen. When Ye Zhen was nervous, he pulled her off the horse's back with one hand. "I will ask you for the last time, who taught you to tie this knot?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, this commoner girl knew many people in Border City, but I don't remember who taught me." Ye Rou lowered her head and did not look at his handsome face. Her heart was not as calm as she looked on the surface. This was the man she had loved for eight years. She hated him as much as she loved him back then.
She felt sad at this time because the softest and most beautiful memory in her heart no longer existed. The youth she once loved … had died in Ye Zhen's memory.
Mo Rongzhan looked at her coldly. He had many questions. Wasn't Lu Wushuang the Yaoyao who saved him? Why did she know everything except for the secret code? Why did she have the jade pendant he gave to Yaoyao?
The Lu family also had a girl named Yaoyao. Was this a coincidence, or was someone purposely trying to distract him?
Lu Wushuang! Mo Rongzhan suddenly came to a realization. Why bother looking for Yaoyao? Lu Wushuang must know everything. He just needed to make Lu Wushuang tell him the truth.
"Do you know someone called Yaoyao?" Mo Rongzhan probed.
Ye Zhen raised her head sharply and looked at him. Did he remember? He remembered that she told him that her nickname was Yaoyao. How could he still think of Lu Wushuang as him?
Seeing Ye Zhen's reaction, Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened. "Do you know?"
"I have never heard of it." Ye Zhen said with a look of horror.
Mo Rongzhan suddenly felt a little disgusted with the woman in front of him, who was also called Yaoyao. She was not his Yaoyao, but she dared to call him by that name!
"Were you the woman in the hot spring pool that day?" Mo Rongzhan suddenly asked.
Ye Zhen's face turned slightly white. Did he want to settle accounts with her?
Seeing her face, Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. "You are quite courageous. You even dare to hit me?"
"It turned out that day … it was His Majesty. This commoner … this commoner didn't know. The night was unclear, and I had never seen the Emperor. I thought … I thought it was a lecher who accidentally hurt the Emperor. Please forgive me." Ye Zhen's face was full of panic, as if she had just learned that the person on that day was the Emperor.
Lecher? His performance that night did look like a lecher. Mo Rongzhan's face became gloomier. He sneered coldly, "You don't have self-respect, and you think others are lechers."
Ye Zhen's eyes were cold. "Your Majesty is right. That hot spring pool … this commoner can't go there."
It was clear that he didn't have self-respect. How dare he say that she didn't have self-respect? Ye Zhen really wanted to slap his face. Sure enough, being the emperor was different. His skin was really thick.
"Get out!" Mo Rongzhan originally wanted to ask her to change her name, but it would be discovered by Lu Wushuang. He waved his hand in annoyance.
Ye Zhen saluted and the bridgehorse left.
Mo Rongzhan looked down at the rope in his hand. There may be many people who can tie like this. He didn't think that just because Lu Yaoyao knew this knot, he concluded that she and his Yaoyao were the same person.
How did Lu Wushuang get the jade pendant? This was what he couldn't understand and wanted to know the most.
After walking for a long time, Ye Zhen climbed over the mountain, mounted her horse, and quickly left the forest, not even looking back.
Why was Mo Rongzhan still looking for her? Didn't he already believe that Lu Wushuang was the one who saved him? She didn't expect that he would be suspicious with just a knot. If he hadn't suspected Lu Wushuang long ago, he would not be so sensitive.
When did he begin to suspect Lu Wushuang?
She remembered that during the two years when her soul wandered in the palace, he never doubted her. Even if Lu Wushuang didn't remember the secret code, he treated her very well.
Or … without her knowing, Mo Rongzhan had long suspected Lu Wushuang, but she didn't know?
It's good that he was suspicious! Ye Zhen's mouth floated into a shallow smile. She was still thinking about how to puncture Lu Wushuang's lies. It seemed that she didn't need to do anything at all. Mo Rongzhan was already suspicious of her. If he was suspicious of Lu Wushuang, wouldn't he be suspicious of Lu Lingzhi?
She must not let Mo Rongzhan know that she saved him. With his hatred for the Ye family, once he knew that the person who saved him was Ye Zhen, maybe … he wouldn't blame Lu Wushuang.
"Yao Yao, where did you go just now? I've been looking for you for a long time." Ye Zhen came out of the forest and saw Mister Dan riding his bridgehorse.
Ye Zhen jumped off the horse and smiled. "I caught two pheasants inside. I'll go back and eat soup pot tonight."
"I seemed to see some guards go in just now. Did you meet anyone?" Mister Dan asked in a low voice.
"I didn't see any guards, but I met a child who fell into a trap. I rescued him and then left." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Mister Dan's eyes flashed. "A child?"
She seemed to have seen the guards come out with a child. Those people had already gone to Chengde Mountain Villa. Was that child from the royal family?
Ye Zhen smiled. "The child also said that he was a prince. I don't believe it. A prince can come here alone. He should be the child of a nearby hunter. After I rescued him, I let him go back."
Mister Dan was speechless for a while.
