"Princess!" Fang Zhen exclaimed. "Princess!"
Ye Yiqing had already easily caught Zhao Yang, not letting her fall to the ground.
"Father, put her on the bed." Ye Zhen said hurriedly. "Her injury has not healed yet. She should lie down and rest."
Fang Zhen was so anxious that she wanted to cry. "The princess insisted on seeing Lord Ye to ask about Princess Qin. This servant couldn't stop her."
Ye Yiqing lowered his eyes to look at Zhao Yang, who was in his arms. She was as heavy as a feather. He really didn't know how she raised herself. He placed her on the bed. "Yao Yao, take care of Zhao Yang. I'll go out first."
"Good." Ye Zhen nodded gently, but her eyes were a little red as she looked at the pale Zhao Yang.
She wanted to know about him, so she had disregarded everything to come to the capital city. Even though she knew that he was heavily injured, she still insisted on seeing his father. It was all because she wanted to know about him.
"Miss Lu, how is our princess?" Fang Zhen asked.
Ye Zhen said, "It's not a big deal, but she can't be willful in the future. The wound has not healed, so lie well."
"This servant knows." Fang Zhen looked at Zhao Yang worriedly.
In the afternoon, Zhao Yang woke up again.
"You're awake." Ye Zhen, who was sitting next to her, saw Zhao Yang open her eyes and stood up with a smile.
The moment Zhao Yang saw her, her eyes flashed with sadness. After a moment, she calmed down and looked at Ye Zhen with cold eyes. "What happened to me?"
"You fainted from the pain. Your wound has not healed yet. It's better to lie down and not move, lest you leave a big scar on your back." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"I am a widow. Even if I have a scar, it doesn't matter." Zhao Yang's voice was weak, but as indifferent as ever. She glanced at Ye Zhen. "Have you seen Ye Zhen?"
Ye Zhen whispered, "No, when I arrived in the capital, she was gone."
"Who killed her?" Zhao Yang asked in a low voice.
"I …" Ye Zhen wanted to speak but was cut off by Zhao Yang.
"You don't live in the capital, so how would you know about her? I heard that Hong Ling survived. Go call Hong Ling over, I'll personally ask her," Zhao Yang said.
Ye Zhen sighed in her heart. She didn't know that Zhao Yang cared so much about her before. "Your body is still very weak. Even if you want to find Hong Ling for questioning, at least wait for you to recover some energy. If you insist on holding on, the next time you faint, you won't wake up."
Zhao Yang closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'll see Hong Ling tomorrow."
"Princess, let me feed you the medicine." Ye Zhen said.
"You look like her." Zhao Yang opened her cold eyes and looked at Ye Zhen.
Ye Rou laughed. "A lot of people think that I look like my sister."
Zhao Yang's lips moved slightly, but in the end, she did not speak.
Not only did they look alike, but even their eyes and demeanor were the same. The tone of voice also reminded her of Ye Zhen. If someone told her that the person in front of her was Ye Zhen, she would definitely believe it.
"Let my maid come in and feed me the medicine. Miss Lu, I won't trouble you," Zhao Yang said lightly.
Ye Rou nodded. "Alright."
Ye Zhen left the guest room and was about to return to Taoyao when she saw Ye Yiqing outside.
"Father." She walked forward and gave Ye Yiqing a sad smile.
"Does she suspect you?" Ye Yiqing understood her sadness and reached out to touch her head gently.
Ye Zhen whispered, "I think she is suspicious. Zhao Yang wants to see Hong Ling."
"Then let Hong Ling tell her what should be said. Don't mention what shouldn't be said." Ye Yiqing said, "She came to the capital just to inquire about you."
"Father, I think there is a reason why Zhao Yang left the Beiming Kingdom. Can you let someone inquire about what happened to her in the past few years?" Ye Zhen felt sad to see Zhao Yang this time. She was a little different from before.
Ye Yiqing nodded. "I'll let someone check immediately. How is Princess Zhao Yang's injury?"
"She was just too weak just now. She needs to rest for two more days to recover." Ye Zhen said, "I'll see her every day these days."
"Yao Yao, about you …" Ye Yiqing whispered. "Let nature take its course. Don't hide it too deliberately. Princess Zhao Yang seems to be a smart person. If you hide it too deliberately, it will arouse her suspicion."
Ye Zhen nodded with a wry smile. "Father, I know."
Back in the room, Ye Zhen called Hong Ling over.
"Princess Zhao Yang wants to see you. You can go to her tomorrow." Ye Zhen whispered to Hong Ling. "She may want to ask about the past. Don't let her know about some things that shouldn't be said."
Hong Ling was taken aback. "Miss, is the princess suspicious of something?"
"She must be suspicious. Try not to let her doubt me." Ye Zhen whispered.
"Miss, this servant knows what to do." Hong Ling nodded.
"This is an urgent letter from Dongqing." Mo Rongzhan held two letters sent by Ye Zhen in his hand. The little girl missed him very much.
A faint smile floated at the corner of Mo Rongzhan's mouth. When he finished reading the letters, the smile in his eyes had been replaced by frost.
What is hypnosis?
He had never heard of such martial arts or skills. Ye Zhen suspected that Ye Yaoyao's previous signal was self-hypnosis. In that case, it was not that Lu Shide wanted to bring Ye Yaoyao back, but that he was used.
"Shen Yi, send someone to the Wilderness to investigate Ye Yaoyao's background. Also, keep a close eye on Chengde Manor. Send someone to protect the Empress Dowager. If Ye Yaoyao does anything unusual, kill her immediately," Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yi answered in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan looked down at the contents of the letter. Hypnosis?
The letter was probably written in a hurry. It did not explain how to hypnotize someone. However, since Yao Yao already suspected Ye Yaoyao, she must have her reasons.
"Your Majesty, General Meng requests an audience." Eunuch Fu said from outside.
Mo Rongzhan put away the letter in his hand and motioned for him to summon General Meng.
General Meng strode in and saluted the emperor. "Your Majesty, there is something unusual in the Northern Dark Kingdom. Should we strengthen the border defense?"
"There is something unusual in the Northern Dark Kingdom." Mo Rongzhan's expression sank. "What is going on?"
"Baishalong's spies sent back news that the Northern Dark Kingdom's border forces have been increasing recently. I'm afraid they are going to use troops." General Meng said.
Mo Rongzhan whispered, "The Northern Dark Kingdom will not send troops to the Jin Kingdom for the time being. It seems that they are targeting Dongqing. The situation in Dongqing is not very stable recently. The Liu family is being suppressed in the capital. It seems that Liu Wenxue is going to make a move."
General Meng asked, "Your Majesty, is the Northern Dark Kingdom planning to use troops against Dongqing?"
"Order General Baishalong to keep a close eye on the situation of the two countries." Mo Rongzhan ordered.
