Mo Rongzhan called Tang Zhen into the palace. He wanted Tang Zhen to go to Jiangnan and take the booklet from Ye Rongquan's grave. If things were really as Ye Yaoyao said, Ye Yaoyao had recovered her memory.
"Your Majesty, Shen Yi is outside asking to see you." Eunuch Fu came in and said to Mo Rongzhan.
"Let him in." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Shen Yi walked in with a heavy look and knelt down in front of Mo Rongzhan. "Your Majesty, Xue Lin has sent back news."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly. "Say it!"
Shen Yi glanced at Mo Rongzhan cautiously and whispered, "Xue Lin said … He hasn't found the Commandery Princess yet. The Commandery Princess seems to have been taken into the palace of Dongqing by Lord Ye."
Hearing this, Mo Rongzhan's face completely sank. "What else?"
"Xue Lin said that the pirate Cao who dominated the Bailong River was killed by Bai Ziqi. Cao Cao's concubine ran away and followed Shen Yuexuan, a big businessman in Dongqing. Shen Yuexuan met the concubine in Jin. When he took her back to Dongqing, they met Bai Ziqi's hijacking ship …"
Mo Rongzhan looked at Shen Yi coldly. "What do you want to say?"
Shen Yi knew that this was the prelude to Mo Rongzhan's anger, so he hurriedly said what he had not finished. "Your Majesty, the Commandery Princess is also on Shen Yuexuan's ship."
"Say it again!" Mo Rongzhan stood up from behind the desk, and his narrow eyes were condensed with a layer of cold anger.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the Commandery Princess arrived in Dongqing safely. Bai Ziqi was going to catch Cao Cao's concubine. It seems that he stole something." Shen Yi hurriedly said.
Mo Rongzhan was anxious and angry. He didn't know how afraid Yaoyao would be when she met the pirates on the ship. Did Ye Yiqing arrange a few more people to protect her? Why did she go to the palace of Dongqing? She didn't tell him before.
"Where is Xue Lin now?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice. At that moment, he wished that he could go to Dongqing Country to capture that little girl and never let her leave his side again.
Shen Yi said, "Xue Lin heard that Bai Ziqi wanted to harm the princess on the ship, so he planned to deal with him first. Unexpectedly, Bai Ziqi and Shen Yuexuan were going to find the treasure house left by Boss Cao. However, the treasure map seemed to be fake, and they didn't find the place. Xue Lin felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so he asked the secret guards to send an urgent letter to the secret guards."
Treasure map? Mo Rongzhan's expression was cold. "Why would Bai Ziqi want to harm the princess?"
Shen Yi said, "Xue Lin doesn't know what happened on the ship either. He only recognized the princess's maid when he saw her in Canghai City. He carefully asked the Shen family's boatmen and found out what happened on the ship."
"Who else is there besides the maids?" Mo Rongzhan believed that Ye Yiqing would not only let one servant girl protect Yaoyao. There would definitely be others.
This time, Shen Yi hesitated, not knowing how to tell the truth.
He felt that if he said it out loud, the emperor would definitely be furious.
"Why are you hesitating?" Mo Rongzhan scolded.
Shen Yi said in a low voice, "Xue Lin said that the princess was protected by a … handsome man with a mysterious identity. Bai Ziqi did not dare to hurt the princess because of this man. Even Shen Yuexuan was very polite to that man."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes gradually became cold, and his face was as gloomy as the dark clouds that were about to erupt. He remembered what Ye Yiqing had said. The reason why Ye Zhen could still forgive him after being hurt like that was because she had not met another man who was better to her.
She went to Dongqing this time, and he was not by her side. He could not predict who would appear next to her, let alone stop her from being with someone. What if she really met a man better than him?
He had hurt her so much. If someone else was good to her, would she be even more unable to forgive the previous him? He knew that she still cared, otherwise, she would not have such a big reaction when she saw the jade pendant.
"Step down and let Xue Lin protect the princess." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
Shen Yi lowered his head and did not dare to look at Mo Rongzhan. "Yes, Your Majesty."
…
…
In a room in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, Ye Yaoyao rested on the soft couch with her eyes closed. Her maid, Chun Mei, came in from the outside and looked at her with some fear in her eyes. She whispered, "Niang niang, this servant has brought lunch."
Ye Yaoyao opened her beautiful eyes. She glanced at Chun Mei and smiled faintly. "I see. You may leave."
"Yes, niang niang." Chun Mei said in a low voice and retreated with her head bowed.
Since Ye Yaoyao recovered her memory, Chun Mei felt that she was very different from before, as if … as if she had become a different person.
In the past, Ye Yaoyao would tremble with fear whenever she encountered something. She liked to ask others for their opinions. But now, Ye Yaoyao wasn't like that. She had her own ideas for everything. She wasn't even as close to her former maid as before.
Chun Mei now felt a little afraid of her.
Ye Yaoyao smiled coldly after Chun Mei retreated. Since she had recovered her memory, she was no longer the naive and cowardly Ye Yaoyao of the past. Now, she had no extra thoughts to think about love affairs. Chun Mei had repeatedly hinted that she should please the emperor. Hehe, she was not blind. The emperor's heart was not on her at all. She did not want to move forward at all.
She only wanted revenge now! Then find the place that her father had told her. If the person who killed her father really hid the silver in that place, then … then she must find it. As long as she had the silver, would she be afraid that she would not have a good life in the future?
She just didn't know if the emperor would believe what she said. Would he send someone to Jiangnan? She now only hoped that the emperor could redress her father's grievances as soon as possible so that she could wash away her identity as the daughter of a sinner.
"Niang niang." Dong Mei came in from outside. "I heard that the emperor ordered Tang Zhen to go to Jiangnan."
A faint smile appeared in Ye Yaoyao's eyes. So, the emperor believed her words.
"I know." Ye Yaoyao nodded gently.
Dong Mei looked at her indifferent look and sighed in her heart. Sure enough, it was different to have her memory restored. However, her master was really amazing. She didn't need to take any medicine or treatment. With just a word and an action, she could restore Ye Yaoyao's memory.
"Niang niang, what should we do next?" Dong Mei asked in a low voice.
Ye Yaoyao said, "Do nothing. Just wait like this."
She had lived a hard life in the wilderness for so long, and then she was locked up because of amnesia. Now that she had recovered her memory, would her life in the palace be worse than in the wilderness?
So what if she couldn't get the emperor's favor for the time being? She didn't believe that the emperor's love for Lu Yaoyao would last forever. It was only a matter of time before he forgot her. Now, no one in the palace could compare with her. If there was a chance in the future, she could still stand out.
When Dong Mei heard Ye Yaoyao say this, she wanted to say a few words to persuade her, but in the end, she didn't say anything. Anyway, it wouldn't be of any use.
Today's Ye Yaoyao was no longer the one she could casually control.
