The jade pendant fell heavily to the ground, and the two phoenixes broke into several pieces. Looking at the jade pendant that fell quietly on the ground, Mo Rongzhan's heart felt like it was being torn apart. He was not angry because Ye Zhen broke the jade pendant, but he felt endless heartache.
The knot in her heart had not been untied.
The fact that he had mistaken Lu Wushuang for her was still an unforgettable memory. If she had not loved him deeply, how could she have been hurt like this? Now, she was willing to accept him again, not because she had forgotten the past, but because she could not bear to part with him.
"Yao Yao." Mo Rongzhan looked at the little girl hiding in the quilt, and his throat choked with heartache.
Ye Zhen bit her lip and didn't want to speak. She knew that her reaction was too intense, but she couldn't stand it. Seeing the jade pendant reminded her of his past with Lu Wushuang. Even if it was his previous life and had nothing to do with this life, she couldn't stand it.
"Except for the day when I made Lu Wushuang an imperial concubine, I never touched her. Not long after I ascended the throne, I saw your torn pouch in the grove and remembered your nickname. At that time, I suspected her. How could I touch her, let alone do such a thing to her …" He kissed her cheek as he spoke. "I have no memory of the previous life. Can I treat other women the same way I treat you? I don't believe it. "
His character had always been cold. If he hadn't met this little girl, which daughter wouldn't be the same to him? Only when he was with her did he become a different person.
"I saw it!" Ye Zhen cried sullenly.
When Mo Rongzhan heard her voice, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. "What did you see?"
"You spoil her and spoil her. She harmed your children and other concubines. You didn't punish her, and yet you say you don't like her." Ye Zhen felt that what she said now was unreasonable, but she was so stingy that she couldn't bear to see that he had someone else in his heart.
"Yao Yao, do you really think I like such a person?" Mo Rongzhan smiled bitterly. He didn't know what Ye Zhen thought of him before, but he felt that it was impossible for him to treat Lu Wushuang the same way he treated her.
Ye Zhen was silent. In fact, when she thought about it, she also felt that Mo Rongzhan seemed to be a little strange to Lu Wushuang in her previous life. It was true that he doted on her, but he rarely went to the harem, let alone spent the night there. He seemed to … deliberately make Lu Wushuang more arrogant and domineering, completely ignoring her scourge of the harem.
"Yaoyao …" Mo Rongzhan half-hugged her. "Are you still not willing to turn your head to look at us?"
"That jade pendant was snatched by Lu Wushuang. I don't want it anymore. It's dirty!"
"…" When Mo Rongzhan heard what she said, he was instantly frightened. Did she think he was dirty too? Could it be that she didn't want him either?
"Go away, I don't want to see you." Ye Rou's temper flared up, and she pushed Mo Rongzhan away, wanting him to go somewhere else.
Mo Rongzhan was distressed and regretful. "Yao Yao, don't you even want me?"
Ye Zhen was silent for a long time. She raised a pair of wet eyes and looked at him. "If I can, I don't want you."
If it weren't for the sadness of being estranged from him in the future, if it weren't for the pain of imagining him doting on other women, she really wanted to leave him far away and never see him again.
"Yao Yao …" Mo Rongzhan hugged her tightly, fearing that she would say something that would cut his heart.
Ye Zhen buried her face in his shoulder and cried in a low voice. "I feel sad. Seeing the jade pendant … I feel sad."
"We don't want the jade pendant anymore. Throw it away." Mo Rongzhan coaxed her softly and patted her back gently. "Don't cry, be good."
"It's all broken." Ye Zhen smiled through her tears. "I used to take it with me every day. I wanted to show it to you on the day of the bridal chamber, but you didn't come."
Mo Rongzhan regretted missing the bridal chamber. "I was wrong."
"Ah." Speaking of the bridal chamber, Ye Zhen remembered that when they got married, the crown prince came to make a scene. "On the day I married you, did the crown prince come?"
"Who told you?" Mo Rongzhan's face sank. He wanted to hide this from her.
Ye Zhen sat up straight and faced him. "What happened on the day of the wedding? Why did the crown prince come to make a scene? Why has no one ever told me? "
Mo Rongzhan stroked her back and said softly, "He was drunk that day, so he made a lot of noise."
"It's not that simple!" Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan's face. "Ye Chun Ming told me yesterday. Did the crown prince go too far? I have always regarded him as my brother-in-law. Even when we met, it was because we met at the Ye family's house. How could he …"
"Silly girl!" Mo Rongzhan rubbed her head. "If I hadn't been blind, how could I have missed you for so many years? It's not surprising that the crown prince is attracted to you."
He only hated the crown prince for making a scene on the day of his wedding. Others thought that he married the crown prince's woman at that time.
However, he didn't want her to know about such a bad thing.
"You misunderstood me because of this." Ye Zhen pouted. "I didn't know that the crown prince came to Prince Qin's Mansion to find me. After marrying you, I didn't see him again. Why do others think that I like him?"
That's because the crown prince cared about her too much. The crown prince should … like her very much.
If he hadn't led his troops to usurp the throne, his Yao Yao might have become the new emperor's favorite concubine. Now that he thought of such a possibility, there was only boundless fear and joy in his heart. Fortunately, he was now the emperor and could protect her.
"I know." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile, "You only like me."
Ye Zhen frowned and said, "Is the crown prince locked up by you now? Then … what about my cousin? "
Her cousin, Ye Chun, used to be the crown prince's concubine. Later, she seemed to have become an imperial concubine. Mo Rongzhan didn't kill the crown prince, so he shouldn't have killed Ye Chun either.
"I put Mo Ronghui under house arrest in the palace. His former concubine is also there. Your cousin … if she is still alive, she should be in the palace. Do you want to see her?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen shook her head gently. "No need to see her."
She was the youngest girl in the Ye family. She didn't have a deep relationship with her other cousins. At that time, many people in the Ye family didn't like her father, let alone play with her.
"Or … do you want to see the crown prince?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice. Did she sympathize with the crown prince?
"Why should I see him?" Ye Zhen said angrily, glaring at him. "If I really want to see him, will you let me see him?"
Mo Rongzhan sneered. "In his dreams!"
