Ye Zhen added spiritual spring water to the water, took a comfortable bath and washed her face. She slept all night and woke up the next day. Her skin had returned to its previous moist and smooth state, but no matter how smooth it was, it was useless. She still had to disguise her true appearance.
Although her appearance after the disguise did not change much from before, if one looked closely, one could still see the difference. Ye Zhen put on a curtain hat when she went out, revealing only a pair of clear and bright eyes.
Murong Ke, who was waiting for her downstairs, was slightly startled when he saw her like this. Then, he smiled and said, "What are you doing? Are you going to wear a curtain hat when you go out like those boudoir women? "
In the past, boudoir women only wore curtain hats when they went out. But since the implementation of the imperial examination a hundred years ago, few women have been so restrained when they go out.
"I like it." Ye Zhen snorted.
A smile appeared in Murong Ke's eyes. "Let's go."
Ye Zhen looked at the carriage outside and found that she did not see Shen Yuexuan's. She asked doubtfully, "Where is Shen Yuexuan?"
"Don't you dislike him? He will stay in Canghai City for a few more days. Let's set off for the capital first. "Murong Ke said with a smile.
"And me!" A tender voice came from behind Murong Ke. Shen Yue 'er looked at Ye Zhen with a smile on her face.
Ye Zhen recognized the little girl as Shen Yue 'er, the only daughter of Shen Yuexuan, whom she had saved on the ship. "Why are you here?"
"My father still has to discuss business in Canghai City. I miss my grandmother, so I want to follow Uncle Murong back to the capital first. Sister Lu, can you accompany me on the way?" Shen Xuan 'er stretched out her hand and pulled Ye Zhen's sleeve as she asked softly.
Looking at the little girl, Ye Zhen couldn't say no. "Okay."
When Murong Ke heard her answer, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He knew that this little girl looked cold, but in fact, she was soft and kind, interesting and cute.
Ye Zhen took Shen Yue 'er to the carriage. Seeing Xiao Qi in the carriage, Shen Yue was frightened and hid behind her. "Wolf!"
"Xiao Qi won't bite people casually." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "Don't be afraid."
"I saw it bite someone," Shen Rong 'er shouted. "It bit off a pirate's neck."
Ye Zhen touched Xiao Qi's head. "That's because he wanted to save me. He doesn't bite good people."
Shen Xuan 'er immediately said, "I'm a good person."
"Come and sit down." Ye Rou chuckled and gestured for Shen Xuan to sit beside her. "Why did you leave the ship with your father?"
"It's so boring at home. There's no one to play with me." Shen Xiong 'er's eyes were fixed on Xiao Qi, and she suddenly grabbed Ye Zhen's hand. "Sister Lu, it really won't bite me. Can I touch it?"
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "What about your mother? Do you think I'll let you run around with me? "
The excitement in Shen Xue 'er's eyes instantly dimmed. "My mother died when I was very young. My aunt is the only one left at home."
"…" Ye Zhen was stunned for a while. "Are you and father the only ones at home?"
"There's also my grandmother, but she doesn't like me." Shen Xuan 'er whispered, "She said that it was because of me that my father refused to get married again."
Ye Zhen didn't know what grudges there were between the Shen family, but she could imagine that a daughter who only had a father's love would not have a good life in the Shen family. After all, Shen Yuexuan could not be at home often. Moreover, a careless man would not find out about his daughter's small grievances.
"Sister Lu, I want to touch Xiao Qi." Shen Xuan 'er turned her head and looked at Ye Zhen expectantly.
Ye Zhen nodded and smiled. "Okay."

Ye Yiqing's way back to Dongqing was different from Ye Zhen's. Instead of choosing the official road, he chose the remote mountain road. However, the distance was half as long as the official road. They arrived at Hamu City only a few days later than Ye Zhen.
"Lord Ye, I don't think I heard Yao Yao speak along the way. Is she okay?" Huang Fuchen walked to the deck and looked at Ye Yiqing, who had his back to him, and raised his question again.
It was Yao Yao who had invited him to come to Dongqing. However, from the day they set off, he had not seen her once, let alone spoken to her. He had interacted with Yao Yao before, so he still remembered some of her small habits very clearly.
Ye Yiqing looked back at Huang Fuchen and smiled. "Maybe Yao Yao is not feeling well."
Huang Fuchen did not expect Ye Yiqing to hide it from him at this time. "That person is not Yao Yao at all. Lord Ye, where is Yao Yao?"
"When did you find out?" Ye Yiqing raised his eyebrows. Of course, he did not want to hide it from Huang Fuchen. Anyway, when they arrived at Dongqing, he still had to invite Huang Fuchen to the palace to treat the emperor with Ye Zhen.
"Before we boarded the ship …" Huang Fuchen said in a low voice, "You did not let me see Yao Yao. You even said that men and women should be on guard against each other. Were you afraid that I would find out that the person was not her?"
Ye Yiqing nodded. "I was not on guard against you. Yao Yao encountered the assassins of Qian Luocha in Huguo Temple. I did not want anyone to know where she went."
"Then the person on the ship now … is not Yao Yao?" Sure enough, his guess was right. Although the servant girl was Yao Yao's former servant girl and the woman wearing the veil hat looked like Yao Yao, it was not her after all.
"Substitute. When we arrive at Dongqing, you will naturally see her," Ye Yiqing said lightly.
Huang Fuchen asked in surprise, "Is Yao Yao already in Dongqing?"
Ye Yiqing turned his head and looked forward. "She should be arriving soon."
"Lord Ye, you really fooled me." Huang Fuchen smiled helplessly. "It seems that Ah Zhan was also fooled by you."
"Him?" Ye Yiqing snorted coldly. If only that guy was so easy to fool. God knows how many times he had come to Yao Yao in the middle of the night. Thinking of this, Ye Yiqing felt that Mo Rongzhan was simply asking for a lesson.
Seeing Ye Yiqing's reaction, Mo Rongzhan knew that he still did not like Mo Rongzhan that much.
"Why did you ask Yao Yao to go to Dongqing?" Huang Fuchen asked in a low voice.
"Didn't Yao Yao tell you?" Ye Yiqing walked to the tea table and sat down. "She wants you to treat someone."
Huang Fuchen frowned slightly. "Who?"
Ye Yiqing looked at him with a smile. "You will know when you arrive at Dongqing. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Why do I feel that you deliberately took Yao Yao away?" Huang Fuchen glanced at him. Wasn't it to take Yao Yao away from Mo Rongzhan?
"Of course it was on purpose. Mo Rongzhan will suffer as much as my daughter has suffered," Ye Yiqing said lightly.
Huang Fuchen said helplessly, "Ye Zhen and Yao Yao are two different people. Is it fair to Yao Yao to do this?"
Ye Yiqing smiled. "For me, they are the same person."
