Lu Lingzhi accompanied Mo Rongzhan back to the hunting ground, but Yao Yao's amazing dance was still in his mind. He had only heard Tang Zhen say that Yao Yao's dance was excellent, but he didn't expect it to be so … soul-stirring. Watching her dance on the drum, it seemed that nothing around her could enter his eyes, and she was the only one left in his heart.
If he knew that Yao Yao was so beautiful, he would definitely stop Mo Rongzhan and not let him see her like this.
"Your Majesty, the little prince is still in the college." Lu Lingzhi saw that Mo Rongzhan had been silent and couldn't help but whisper.
Mo Rongyi said faintly, "Let him be. With Tang Zhen by his side, nothing will happen."
"Yes." Lu Lingzhi responded, but he felt puzzled. Why did the little prince care so much about Yao Yao's affairs and let Tang Zhen take advantage of it?
"Yanzhi, why does your sister want to enter the medical center?" Mo Rongzhan walked forward at a leisurely pace and asked casually.
Lu Lingzhi slowly followed behind him. Because his steps were still unstable, he did not dare to walk too fast. "Your Majesty, this official's third aunt is proficient in medical skills. This official's sister may have been influenced by what she saw and is talented, so she wanted to enter the medical center."
"Your foot healed so quickly with her medicine?" Mo Rongzhan asked, raising his eyebrows and looking back at Lu Lingzhi's foot.
He was surprised to see Lu Lingzhi walking so quickly. Generally, a fracture would take at least a month to recuperate.
"It's strange. The first time I used the medicine, I felt it was really effective, but later I didn't feel it." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile. He didn't know why, but the medicine Yao Yao gave him later was not as effective as the one Lu Xiangzhi gave him.
Mo Rongzhan just nodded lightly and the topic was not continued. Lu Lingzhi didn't want him to pay too much attention to Lu Yaoyao. Now that he no longer mentioned it, he naturally did not talk about it.
"The first time I met Wushuang, she said she had a nickname." Mo Rongzhan suddenly mentioned Lu Wushuang.
Lu Lingzhi was shocked when he heard this. Nickname? He had never heard Ye Zhen mention a nickname before. Was there anything he didn't know? "This subject has not been in the capital since I was young, always following my father everywhere. I don't know how grandmother and the others address you as Imperial Consort."
Mo Rongzhan's thin lips curved upwards. He had tested Lu Wushuang more than once. She said that she didn't have a nickname, but even if she had a nickname, it couldn't be the same as his cousin's name, Yaoyao.
"You once said that Shuang 'er was sick when he was young, so he forgot many things?" Mo Rongzhan asked calmly.
At this moment, alarm bells were ringing in Lu Lingzhi's heart. Why did His Majesty keep asking about the past? Could it be that he already suspected that Shuang 'er wasn't his savior?
Previously, when he gave the jade pendant to Shuang'er, the emperor already completely believed that she was the person who saved his life when he was young. How could he doubt it now?
"Yes, when the Imperial Consort was ten years old, she suddenly had a fever all over her body. It took her two days to recover, but when she woke up, she had forgotten a lot of things from the past. When she asked the doctor, the doctor said that it was good enough that she didn't lose her mind from the fever." Lu Lingzhi whispered. This was the truth, but it just happened to explain why Shuang'er forgot the secret signal with the emperor.
If Mo Rongzhan hadn't picked up the torn pouch in the woods and remembered that the little girl said her name was Yaoyao, he wouldn't have suspected Lu Wushuang at all. He would have even doted on her.
But once doubts arose in his heart, more suspicions would arise. Mo Rongzhan now knew that Lu Wushuang was not the person who saved him. He just wanted to know how she got the jade pendant.
What he didn't dare to guess the most was whether the little girl he missed for many years was no longer in this world, so the jade pendant fell into the hands of Lu Wushuang.
"So that's how it is. No wonder she forgot the secret signal with me." Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. He was angry that Lu Wushuang pretended to be his little girl. But when he thought of the Lu family's contributions to him over the years, and the fact that he still needed Lu Lingzhi, he endured it.
He had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was not stable. He needed his own confidants to stabilize the country. He would not do anything to Lu Wushuang at this time, lest the Lu family be implicated.
Lu Lingzhi did not feel relieved when he heard Mo Rongzhan's words. He felt that there must be a reason for the emperor to ask this, but why? Where did the emperor see the clue?
It seems that I need to go to the palace to talk to Shuang'er.
Mo Rongzhan suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said to Lu Lingzhi with a smile, "Yanzhi, hurry up and recuperate. I still have a lot of things for you to do."
Lu Lingzhi immediately cupped his hands and said, "I can't sit still at home. Although I still walk a little slowly, I can still go back to the Ministry of War."
Mo Rongzhan nodded, "Okay."
"Brother!" Mo Rongyi, who had already come out of the academy, shouted from afar and galloped over.
"Get down!" Mo Rongzhan's face sank and shouted coldly to Mo Rongyi.
Mo Rongyi hurriedly stopped his horse and came to Mo Rongzhan with a smile, "Brother, why are you here?"
"Aren't you going to hunt? Why did you run into the academy? " Mo Rongzhan asked with a sullen face. It was rare for him to finish reading the memorials early today. Remembering that this younger brother said he was going to hunt, he wanted to come over and take a look. In the end, there was not even a shadow of him. He actually ran into the academy.
Mo Rongyi was most afraid of his imperial brother's stern expression, and he immediately cowered in fear. "I saw Yao Yao there, and I thought … Imperial brother, you don't know, but luckily I was there today, or Yao Yao would not have been able to enter the academy."
"Your face is so big and you still let her enter the academy?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a sneer.
"Brother, there was clearly no problem with Lu Yaoyao's drum dance today. Liu Hua bribed two teachers and insisted on giving her a B. Lu Yaoyao is very smart, she made a bet with Liu Hua saying that she would definitely enter the academy and asked Liu Hua to compensate her with 1: 20. Then she borrowed two thousand taels from Marquis Jingning and bet that she would win against Liu Hua. After arguing with those two teachers for a bit, the other party had no choice but to give her an A …" Mo Rongyi blabbered out everything that had just happened, his eyes lit up with excitement, "I also won ten thousand taels, I'll get someone to ask Liu Hua for it tomorrow!"
In Mo Rongzhan's mind appeared the appearance of that young and delicate girl arguing and the corners of his mouth rose, "If Princess Royal enters the palace to complain to Imperial Mother because of this matter, zhen will not forgive you."
"Lu Yaoyao got four A's and Liu Hua lost, don't tell me you still won't admit it?" Mo Rongyi called out with a smile.
Lu Lingzhi frowned as he listened. Those two teachers were simply going too far. They clearly wanted to bully Yaoyao for not being too proficient in the six arts, and thus came up with such a laughable excuse.
Fortunately, Yao Yao did not let them succeed.
