Ye Zhen looked at the empress dowager in shock. It was the empress dowager who sent her father out of the Jin Kingdom.
"Empress dowager, you … why did you save my father?" Ye Zhen didn't know that her uncle had poisoned Mo Rongzhan and his brother before, so she felt that he was too cruel to the Ye family. Later, the more she learned about the truth, the more she understood Mo Rongzhan's hatred for the Ye family. She didn't blame him for ordering the execution of Ye Yisong, but how could the empress dowager save her father? Even if her father didn't do anything, his surname was Ye.
The Empress Dowager sighed. "Because at that time, I felt … that I had treated your sister unfairly. To be able to raise a girl like your sister, Ye Yiqing must not be too bad, so he should not be implicated by Ye Yisong. However, there was not much I could do, and I could not protect him for long. Even now, I do not know his whereabouts."
At that time, Ye Zhen had been swallowed by a sea of fire, and the emperor disdained her. Only the crazy Lu Wushuang was concubine. The empress dowager couldn't bear it and felt that she should save Ye Yiqing. However, she didn't expect that the emperor didn't intend to kill the father and son at that time.
Ye Zhen gently approached the empress dowager. "Empress dowager, you are so kind."
"As long as you don't blame Ai Jia for giving the emperor the title of Concubine Yao." The empress dowager joked with a smile.
"Empress dowager …" Ye Zhen looked at her awkwardly. She didn't like Ye Yaoyao, but she understood the reason why the empress dowager did that. At that time, she was also thinking about the emperor and herself.
The empress dowager smiled and said, "Don't leave without saying goodbye in the future. Those days … the emperor was like a different person. Ai Jia felt distressed looking at him."
Ye Zhen nodded gently, but couldn't promise that she would not leave.
She stayed in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful until sunset. During this period, Mo Rongzhan came twice but was sent away by the empress dowager.
As the sun set, Ye Zhen finally retired from the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. Her mood was indescribably relaxed.
From now on, the Ye family would no longer be a taboo that all the aristocratic families in the capital dared not talk about, and the Princess Qin would no longer be the pitiful person they spoke of. Ye Zhen did not expect the Ye family to create glory again, as long as it could be like an ordinary family and exist in the open.
While crossing the arch bridge, Ye Zhen unexpectedly met an acquaintance. Xu Huiru, who was now demoted to the rank of Xu Concubine, was coming from the other end of the bridge. She also saw Ye Zhen, and her eyes revealed a strong hatred.
It was too late for Ye Zhen to pretend not to see her.
"Lu Yaoyao, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still alive." Xu Pin came over and stared at Ye Zhen with venomous eyes.
"Xu Pin is really funny. You are living well, how can I not live better?" Ye Zhen smiled faintly. She and Xu Huiru had too many old grievances, it was difficult for her to pretend to greet politely.
Xu Pin looked at Ye Zhen coldly. She had long known that Lu Yaoyao looked like Ye Zhen. She even thought that this would be her weakness. As a result, the emperor didn't care who Lu Yaoyao looked like. Only now did she know that Lu Yaoyao was Ye Zhen's younger sister. The emperor conferred Ye Zhen a posthumous title for her, which made Xu Pin jealous. "Do you really think you can be proud for a lifetime?"
"What does it have to do with you whether I can be proud for a lifetime or not?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Xu Pin glared at her resentfully. Before she met Ye Zhen, she always thought that she was the best lady in the capital until she saw Ye Zhen at a banquet. From then on, her name could only appear in front of Ye Zhen. Later, finally, Ye Zhen died. Xu Pin thought that no one was better than her, but Lu Yaoyao appeared.
The two opponents that she couldn't accept the most in her life were actually sisters.
"Lu Yaoyao, you caused my eldest brother to suffer in prison for so long. I will not let you go." Xu Pin thought of her eldest brother being imprisoned by the emperor for her sake. She had been demoted to a concubine, but the emperor still refused to let her brother go. All this was because of Lu Yaoyao.
Ye Zhen said lightly, "What does Xu Ji's imprisonment have to do with me? If he hadn't been so cruel as to burn those people to death, if he hadn't inquired about the emperor's harem, he wouldn't be where he is today. Oh, by the way, if you want to talk about the culprit of this matter, it should be you, Xu Pin. It is you who implicated your eldest brother. Don't dare to admit it and blame others. "
Xu Pin gritted her teeth in anger. As long as she thought that Lu Yaoyao might become the empress in the future, she would not have to kneel in front of her every day. Thinking of this scene, Xu Pin felt that it was better to let her die.
"Lu Yaoyao, you are a descendant of the Ye family. Even if the empress and the empress dowager protect you, the whole capital wants you dead. How long can you live? You certainly don't know how many people the Ye family has offended. Even if the Ye family has been destroyed, as long as you are a descendant of the Ye family, they will not let you go. Just you wait, the bitter days are still ahead. "Xu Pin smiled gloomily, as if she had already seen Lu Yaoyao being forced into a corner.
Ye Zhen took a step closer to Xu Pin, her bright red lips evoking a beautiful smile. "Xu Huiru, before I live a hard life, I will make you suffer even more." Xu Huiru's face darkened.
Xu Pin's eyes flashed with hatred. She couldn't control herself from reaching out and strangling Lu Yaoyao. Just when she was about to do it, she heard a familiar voice.
"Yaoyao, come here." Mo Rongzhan stood by the lake and looked at them indifferently.
Xu Pin saw a warning in his eyes and hurriedly withdrew her hands. She hurriedly knelt down and saluted. At the same time, she felt extremely sour in her heart. Since she was demoted to Xu Pin, it was the first time she had seen the emperor. Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at him with grievance and affection. "This concubine greets the emperor."
Mo Rongzhan stepped onto the arch bridge and held out his hand to Ye Zhen. "What are you doing here? I have been waiting for you for a long time. "
Ye Zhen did not give her hand to him, but walked to his side, looked at Xu Pin and smiled. "I met Xu Pin and said a few words."
"What is there to say?" It's a waste of time! Mo Rongzhan thought in his heart. He forcibly took her hand. "Walk with us."
"I'm going back." Ye Zhen shook her hand a few times but failed to shake off his hand. "Where are you taking me?"
The corner of Mo Rongzhan's mouth rose, and his tone was helpless and doting. He said in a low voice, "Ye Zhen, you are really …"
What a heartless girl! He had been waiting for her all day, yet she still wanted to leave the palace. He didn't know when he would see her again. Now, he didn't dare to sneak into her room at night for fear that she would be angry and ignore him.
"What's wrong with me?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked.
Mo Rongzhan lowered his head and bit her pink lips. "You know how to torture me."
"…" Ye Zhen covered her mouth and glared at him fiercely.
