"I've never heard of you having a master before." Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan doubtfully.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at her and explained in a low voice, "My eyes were poisoned. Although I was detoxified, my meridians were blocked and I couldn't practice martial arts. Once, I almost went berserk while practicing martial arts near the barracks. When I woke up, I had already been … taken into the mountains by my second senior brother. Elder Zhuo had a set of martial arts that could help me open up my meridians. I stayed in the mountains for three months."
Ye Zhen frowned slightly. "So, Elder Zhuo still owes you a debt of gratitude. Why do you treat him like that …"
"He taught me martial arts just to use me. If I hadn't behaved like a fool in front of him, how could he have let me go?" Mo Rongzhan said softly. "So far, I haven't found out where he came from. However, if I'm not mistaken, he wanted to train me to be an assassin."
"Assassin?" Ye Zhen looked up in amazement. "Who is he? How could he want to turn his apprentice into an assassin?"
Mo Rongzhan shook his head. "I'm just guessing. Not long ago, I met … the second senior brother who brought me into the mountains. He doesn't look like he's being used by Elder Zhuo."
"I don't think this Elder Zhuo is a scheming person. If your two senior brothers were smart, they wouldn't have been used by him." "Elder Zhuo is the best at hiding his true nature.
"Elder Zhuo is an expert at concealing his true nature. What you see now might not be his true self. When I first saw him, I also thought he was amiable. It was only later that I realized his true nature was sinister and ruthless. If my guess is correct, my two senior brothers have long since broken free from his control. Otherwise, he wouldn't be unaware of Zhuo Yunyu's whereabouts." Mo Rongzhan's lips curled into a smile. When he thought of this possibility, he felt extremely gratified.
"I just heard you say something about a wolf's den. What's going on?" Ye Zhen asked.
Mo Rongzhan's expression darkened slightly as he gently held her palm. "I learned his techniques in the mountains and managed to clear my meridians in the second month. He probably valued my talent in martial arts, so he began to teach me other martial arts. I felt that the moves were too vicious and sinister, so I didn't put much effort into learning them. Zhuo Yunyu and second senior also secretly reminded me not to learn his martial arts. Elder Zhuo probably saw that I didn't want to learn his martial arts, so in a fit of anger, he threw me into a wolf's den in the mountains. After killing a dozen or so wild wolves, I was completely exhausted. It was Zhuo Yunyu and the others who sent me back to the barracks."
Was this the reason why he looked at those two Senior Brothers in a different light?
"Could it be that Elder Zhuo still doesn't know your true identity?" Ye Zhen listened to the meaning behind Mo Rongzhan's words. It seemed that Elder Zhuo knew nothing about his identity.
"At that time, I deliberately concealed my identity and entered the mountains. He always thought that I was a fool, so he probably wouldn't deliberately investigate my identity."
Ye Zhen let out a sigh. "But if we go with them to the Feng Wu City, if Elder Zhuo is really as scheming as you say, he will definitely see something."
"Even if he sees something, he won't guess that I am the Jin Emperor. Moreover, we will separate from them when we arrive at the Feng Wu City. Don't worry about it." Mo Rongzhan smiled. "Don't believe Zhuo Su 'er's words too much. She grew up with Elder Zhuo and is definitely not as naive and pure as she appears on the surface. You should stay away from her."
"I think she treats you well." Ye Zhen glanced at Mo Rongzhan and smiled.
Mo Rongzhan rubbed her hair helplessly. "You're just imagining things."
Ye Zhen glared at him. How obvious is that? How can I be the one imagining things?

Dongqing State, Grand Council.
As night fell, Li Heng and the other ministers finished discussing state affairs and returned to Kunning Palace. Ye Yiqing was still sitting at the head of the table. The ministers sitting on both sides looked at him curiously. It seemed that they had often seen this Lord Ye staying in the palace these past few days.
"Lord Ye, are you still not going back to your residence?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Ye Yiqing smiled faintly. "There are still some things to deal with. I will be done soon."
These words frightened the other ministers. They were all Ye Yiqing's subordinates. How could their superior have more things to do than them? "Lord Ye, if you have anything to do, just tell us to do it. You haven't returned to your residence for several days."
"It's a small matter. It doesn't matter. You can go back first." Ye Yiqing said indifferently. He didn't want to go back to the Prime Minister's residence, so he dawdled here to kill time.
"Lord Ye, are we not doing enough?" Someone asked, trembling with fear.
Ye Yiqing said helplessly, "It has nothing to do with you. Go back, I'm leaving too."
He didn't want to go back to the Prime Minister's residence because he was afraid of meeting Zhao Yang.
That day, when she had kissed him, he hadn't pushed her away! It must be because he hadn't been close to a woman in a long time that he had been so mesmerized that he had almost pulled her into his arms.
Ye Yiqing rubbed his forehead. When he was about to leave the palace, he met Cao Yu.
"Teacher, are you going home?" Cao Yu looked at him with a smile and walked over to greet him.
"It's so late and you haven't returned yet?" Ye Yiqing raised his eyebrows at him and asked faintly.
Cao Yu said with a smile, "The kidnapping case has just been closed. I'm about to go back."
Ye Yiqing's expression was cold. "How were they executed?"
"There were five people in total. Two main criminals and three accomplices. They have all been exiled," Cao Yu said.
"Mm." Ye Yiqing nodded faintly. Letting these kidnappers die was letting them off easy. They should be tortured for the rest of their lives.
Cao Yu looked at him with a smile. "Teacher, how is Princess Zhao Yang?"
Ye Yiqing's expression darkened slightly. "You seem to care about her a lot."
"Teacher, this student felt that Princess Zhao Yang would become Teacher's wife soon, so I couldn't help but ask a few more questions. Please don't misunderstand," Cao Yu hurriedly waved his hand.
"There is such a large age difference between us and she is my daughter's good friend. How could she become your teacher's wife!" Ye Yiqing scolded harshly.
Cao Yu shook his head and sighed. "Teacher, this student always thought that you weren't burdened by the customs of the secular world. I didn't think that you would also care about the views of the secular world. Between a man and a woman, what does it have to do with other people? You are not as brave as Princess Zhao Yang. "
Ye Yiqing's face reddened. He asked himself honestly. He wasn't indifferent to Zhao Yang. In the past, he had treated her as a junior, but in the days when she had taken care of him, it had been very difficult for him to still treat her as a junior.
Also, when she had kissed him that day, he had felt something … and had an impulse.
"Teacher, we're almost at the prime minister's fu," Cao Yu reminded him in a low voice.
"Do you think I don't know?" Ye Yiqing said in a bad mood. He lifted his foot and strode towards the prime minister's fu.
As soon as he entered the fu, he sent someone to see what Princess Zhao Yang was doing.
"Drinking?" When Ye Yiqing heard the servant's reply, he couldn't help but cry out, "Why would she suddenly drink wine?"
