The sky seemed to be covered with a layer of dark blue velvet. Ye Zhen sat in the carriage, frowning at Mo Rongzhan next to her. "Where are you taking me?"
"You will know when you get there." Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. "What did you say to Xu Huiru today?"
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. "She said that I am a descendant of the Ye family. There are many people in the capital who want to see me die and will not let the Ye family live in this world."
A cold light flashed in Mo Rongzhan's eyes. He looked down at her. "Don't listen to her nonsense. How can I let anything happen to you?"
"She is telling the truth. The Ye family will be beheaded. It is estimated that the ministers in the court have made a lot of effort. They must be afraid of retribution in the future. While the descendants of the Ye family have no power, they must be killed first to avoid future troubles. If it were me, I would do the same." Ye Zhen said. She knew what she was going to face, but she was not afraid of it.
Those who wanted her dead, she would tear them all the same.
Mo Rongzhan whispered, "With me here, you will be fine."
Ye Zhen looked at the scenery outside and frowned at him. "Where on earth are you taking me?"
"We are almost there, don't worry." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile, holding her hand and squeezing it gently.
"This is …" Ye Zhen felt more and more familiar. She turned her head and looked outside. "King Qin's Mansion? What did you bring me here for? "
The carriage slowly stopped. Mo Rongzhan took her hand and got off. In front of them was the newly painted plaque of King Qin's Mansion. Although it had been freshly oiled, it could still be seen that King Qin's Mansion had been engulfed by a great fire.
Of the entire King Qin's Mansion, only the gate had not been burned to ashes. She remembered that the inside was already in ruins.
Mo Rongzhan took her hand and walked in. "I haven't been here for a long time."
Ye Zhen stood outside the threshold and refused to take another step. Her face was a little ugly. "I don't want to go in."
"Why?" Mo Rongzhan looked down at her.
"What do you want to do? I don't want to … come back here at all. " Ye Zhen turned and wanted to leave. This was the source of her pain, the place where she lived alone for two years. Every inch of land had things she did not want to remember. Why did she want to come back?
Mo Rongzhan reached out and carried her back. "Come in with me."
Ye Rou glared at him angrily. "What did you want me to do here?"
Mo Rongzhan did not answer her, but directly carried her in. "I know you are not happy here. Ye Zhen, let's go through Prince Qin's Mansion again. I have something to tell you."
"I don't want to hear it." Ye Zhen closed her eyes, not wanting to see anything here.
"Do you still remember the pear tree in the grove?" Mo Rongzhan's thin lips pressed against her ear. "At that time, the person I wanted to marry had always been you, the person I met in the forest. Every corner of this place was personally drawn by me, including the pear tree in the back garden. Do you still remember when we went to pick pears together in the forest? And that dry well … You definitely haven't been to the back garden. It's just like that little forest. "
"They wouldn't let me in, saying that you don't allow anyone to go to the back garden."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly. At that time, he did not know that she was Little Yao Yao. If he had known, how could he be willing to go to war on the second day after their wedding?
"In addition to the back garden, I personally supervised the construction of the upper room. You told me at that time how your father built your boudoir. But … when we got married, I couldn't bear to let others occupy her things, so I didn't marry you in the upper room." Mo Rongzhan said guiltily.
Therefore, after she got married, she never lived in the upper room that a princess should live in. As a result, few servants in Prince Qin's Mansion respected her.
Ye Zhen remembered the difficult days in Prince Qin's Mansion at the beginning and gnashed her teeth in anger. She couldn't help but bite him on the shoulder.
Mo Rongzhan did not feel the pain, but the tip of his heart still twitched. He hugged her tighter. "The fire here is too strong. A year ago, I had it rebuilt. It's still the same as before."
"Rebuilt?" Ye Zhen raised her head from his chest in surprise. Sure enough, she saw the familiar pavilion. She looked at him in surprise. "Why did you rebuild it?"
"I don't know …" Mo Rongzhan bowed his head and smiled bitterly. "When I learned that Lu Wushuang was not you, I ordered it to be rebuilt."
Ye Zhen stared at the newly lit Prince Qin's Mansion in a daze. Her eyes suddenly felt a little hot.
"I'll show you the back garden." Mo Rongzhan whispered.
To reach the back garden of Prince Qin's Mansion, they had to pass through a bluestone trail. Although it was already dark, Mo Rongzhan had ordered people to light lamps along the way in advance. The woods were also brightly lit, allowing her to see the surroundings clearly.
It was really the same as the grove where she saw him when she was a child. There was also the pear tree. But now the weather was cold. Not to mention pears, not even a leaf could be seen.
"I was thinking of planting an orchard here in the future." Mo Rongzhan sniffed her neck. "When I was a child, I thought you had a fruity fragrance. It smelled much better than the rouge."
Ye Zhen bit her lip. "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Mo Rongzhan put her down, took her hand and continued to walk. "At that time, I saw a torn pouch in the grove of the garden. Is that yours?"
"You picked it up?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise. "I took it away and threw it away."
"I only saw a few pieces …" Mo Rongzhan whispered, "That pouch, was it you originally intended to give to me?"
Ye Zhen whispered, "I was sick at that time, so I couldn't see you at the appointed time. Later, thinking that maybe you would go to the grove again, I made a small pouch with my name on it. I thought you would know who I am when you saw it …" Ye Zhen's face darkened, "I was sick at that time and couldn't see you at the appointed time.
"I'm sorry." He didn't see it. He stubbornly thought that anyone could save him except Ye Zhen, so he never thought that Yao Yao would be Ye Zhen.
"Have you ever brought Lu Wushuang here?" Ye Zhen asked. She still cared about this.
Mo Rongzhan chuckled. "Why would I bring her here?"
Ye Zhen walked to the side of the pear tree. "In the future, plant a few more peach trees, and plum trees …"
"Okay." Mo Rongzhan nodded with a smile. "I'll take you to the upper room."
"I used to want to see your upper room, but the housekeeper wouldn't let me in. He said I didn't deserve it." Ye Zhen pouted and snorted. She once thought that there was a beauty hidden in his upper room.
Mo Rongzhan held her hand tightly. "No one can stop you in the future."
"Others only know that I am Lu Yaoyao, but they don't know that I am … Ye Zhen." Ye Zhen whispered.
"It's fine as long as I know."
