Mo Rongzhan held Ye Zhen in his arms and talked for a long time. When she finally fell asleep in his arms, he breathed a sigh of relief, put her on the bed, and got out of bed with a robe draped over his shoulders.
There were broken fragments of the jade pendant on the ground. This jade pendant was given to him by his father when he was born. At that time, his mother was still the only one who doted on him, and his father was also very fond of him. If it weren't for the fact that he was later harmed, his father would not have hated him.
However, he still wore the jade pendant for sixteen years. It was only when they met in the woods that he gave it to her.
She had also treasured the jade pendant for many years, but now she was so conflicted. What had she experienced in her last life?
Mo Rongzhan was distressed and picked up all the fragments of the jade pendant on the ground. "Fu!"
Eunuch Fu hurried in, not daring to look at the bedchamber. "Your Majesty."
"Throw it away." Mo Rongzhan handed the fragment to him. Since the jade pendant no longer had the meaning he had given it to her, there was no need to keep it.
"Your Majesty, this … isn't this the jade pendant you had when you were a child?" Eunuch Fu asked in surprise. The jade pendant that had been repaired with great difficulty, how could it be broken again?
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him faintly.
Eunuch Fu immediately lowered his head and dared not ask any more questions. He took the fragment from Mo Rongzhan's hand and retreated with his head bowed.
"Go to the Emerald Flower Palace and convey my decree." Mo Rongzhan suddenly said in a low voice, "Demote Concubine Yao as a nobleman and let her move out of the Emerald Flower Palace and into the Zhong Cui Palace."
That meant she was going to live in the same palace as An Guiren and the others. It seemed like the emperor really didn't care about Concubine Yao at all.
After conferring Ye Zhen the title of Empress Yuan, Mo Rongzhan thought about sending her out of the palace, but he thought that after sending her away, the ministers would ask him to appoint a concubine, so he kept her in the palace. If possible, he wanted to send away all the other concubines in the palace.
After Eunuch Fu retreated, Mo Rongzhan returned to the bed and lay down beside Ye Zhen. After a while, the little girl leaned into his arms and rubbed her pink cheeks on his chest a few times. Then, she found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
He couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. He gently hugged her waist. How could this little Jiaojiao make him let go of all his stubbornness and pride? How did such a petite and petite person survive in King Qin's Mansion? Mo Rongzhan closed his eyes. His stubbornness and ruthlessness had caused this fresh and delicate flower to bloom and wither alone in King Qin's Manor. Now that he could hold her in his arms again, other than wanting to cherish her, he did not know what else to do.
"Yaoyao …" Mo Rongzhan caressed her sleeping face and couldn't help but kiss it a few times. He sighed and said, "We will let you go. One day, we will bring you back."
On the other side of the palace, in the Radiant Emerald Palace.
Eunuch Fu brought the emperor's decree and announced the demotion of Concubine Yao to Noble Yao and the transfer of her to Zhong Cui Palace. Then, he was about to leave.
"Eunuch Fu, I want to see the emperor." Ye Yaoyao couldn't believe it. What did she do wrong? Why did the emperor treat her like this?
"Your Highness, the emperor has rested." Eunuch Fu said lightly. If Ye Yaoyao ran to see the emperor at this time, he would not be able to mingle in front of the emperor.
Ye Yaoyao grabbed Eunuch Fu's sleeve with a pale face. "Eunuch Fu, what did I do wrong? Why does the emperor treat me like this? Could it be … … could it be that someone went to complain to His Majesty? "
Could it be that what she said to Lu Yaoyao today reached the emperor's ears? Even if … even so, what did she say wrong?
Eunuch Fu felt that Ye Yaoyao was actually a stunning beauty, but if she couldn't enter the emperor's eyes, what was the use of being beautiful?
"Your Highness, there's no need for anyone to complain. Is there anything in the palace that the emperor doesn't know?" Eunuch Fu said calmly. Ye Yaoyao could only blame herself for being too blind and not knowing how to conduct herself. The emperor doted on Lu Yaoyao like a pearl, but she still stopped the junzhu. Forget that, she allowed a little palace maid to scold the junzhu and make the junzhu bow to her. Just based on this, Eunuch Fu didn't want to sympathize with her.
Who didn't know that Lu Yaoyao was the future empress? She had to bow to her before she entered the palace. Who did she think she was?
Ye Yaoyao was sure that Lu Yaoyao went to complain. She might have even added oil to the fire and said bad things about her. Otherwise, why would the emperor move her to Zhong Cui Palace and demote her to the position of a concubine?
"Eunuch Fu, I want to personally explain to the emperor." Ye Yaoyao cried, "It was Lu Yaoyao who harmed me."
"Your Highness, the emperor won't see you. The junzhu … she won't mention you in front of the emperor." Eunuch Fu shook his head and sighed. She was really hopelessly stupid. "This servant will leave."
Ye Yaoyao's face was pale as she watched Eunuch Fu leave. Big drops of tears fell from her eyes.
Dong Mei frowned as she looked at her and helped her up. "Your Highness, be stronger. It's not a dead end."
"Isn't ben gong at a dead end?" Even though Ye Yaoyao's tears couldn't stop, she was still as beautiful as a pear blossom in the rain.
"The emperor is biased towards Lu Yaoyao. Your Highness, are you willing?" Dong Mei asked in a low voice. "You should find someone to help you."
"Who else would help me?" Ye Yaoyao murmured. The Empress Dowager and the emperor both liked Lu Yaoyao so much. They were the masters of the palace. If they wouldn't help her, who would?
Dong Mei smiled faintly. "Your Highness, this servant will think of a way to help you recover your memories. Is that alright?"
"Alright …"
Ye Zhen, who slept a dreamless night in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, didn't know what Mo Rongzhan had done. The first thing she did when she woke up was to leave the palace.
Mo Rongzhan had returned from the morning court. He didn't even go to the imperial study and came to see her immediately.
"How can I explain to my father that I spent the night in the palace? If he knows that I stayed in the front palace, he … he will be angry." Ye Zhen pouted and cried at Mo Rongzhan. It was all his teasing that made her forget everything.
"Just say that you spent the night in the Palace of Benevolence and Peace." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile and kissed her pouting little mouth. "Zhen will send you out of the palace."
Ye Zhen immediately cried, "No, I'll leave the palace by myself."
Mo Rongzhan was reluctant to part with her. He held her in his arms and kissed her for a long time before letting her go.
"You are so bad." Ye Zhen's breath was unstable. She glared at him and pushed him away. If she didn't leave, she would be forced to stay by him again.
"Let Xue Lin send you back." Mo Rongzhan whispered, "He will protect you from now on."
Ye Zhen wanted to refuse, but thinking that he would be worried about her, she agreed. "Okay."
Mo Rongzhan's thin lips curved slightly, and he stroked her smooth cheek. "Good girl."
"Then … then I'll go." Ye Zhen looked up at him. "I'll embroider the pouch and let Xue Lin send it."
"Zhen will wait." Mo Rongzhan whispered.
