It was not until the latter half of the night that the movement in the room stopped. The room was filled with the charming and ambiguous fragrance of flowers.
Mo Rongzhan wrapped his arms around Ye Zhen's slender waist. "You don't have to stay here tomorrow. Come back to the inn with me. It's time for us to leave."
Ye Zhen, who was already drowsy and too tired to even lift a finger, raised her head slightly in his arms. "Is everything done?"
"Not really, but there are some clues." Mo Rongzhan smiled hoarsely. It was impossible to get to the bottom of the matter even if he continued to stay. Moreover, the more he stayed to investigate, the deeper the other party would hide, making it impossible for him to find any clues.
It was better to pretend that he had found out everything. Anyway, he had sent people to follow Old Zhuo, and Qingyun Villa would also plant his people. What he wanted to know, sooner or later, he would know.
"What about Zhuo Yunrui?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, yawning in his arms. She was tired. Tonight, he was sometimes fierce and sometimes gentle. He let her go back and forth in the clouds several times. She was able to speak at this moment, but she could not.
"We let him go back with Zhuo Yunyu." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, his hand still gently caressing her back.
Ye Zhen was silent. She thought that he let Zhuo Yunrui go for Zhuo Yunyu's sake. In fact, she didn't want to do anything to Zhuo Yunrui, so she didn't say anything.
"I abolished his martial arts and let him go back with Zhuo Yunyu. I want to know who they are, and I also want to investigate Qingyun Villa." Mo Rongzhan rubbed her body. "I will not let anyone who wants to hurt you go."
"Who asked him to kill me?" Ye Zhen was secretly shocked. She didn't expect him to be so cruel to Zhuo Yunrui.
This man is really cruel and merciless when he treats others. He doesn't show any mercy at all.
Mo Rongzhan's mouth held a sneer. "Teng Ye of Qian Luocha."
Ye Zhen silently remembered the name in her heart. She had no grievances with this person, but she didn't know why he wanted to kill her. "What does my existence hinder him? He just wants to borrow your hand to get rid of his opponent."
"Maybe that's the case. Maybe there's a secret that no one knows about. No matter what, I will find this person." A murderous look flashed across Mo Rongzhan's eyes. When he lowered his eyes to look at her, there was only a strong gentleness in his eyes. "Don't think so much. Zhen is here for everything."
"Yes." Ye Zhen answered in a low voice. She still wanted to talk about the Loyal Marquis, but she couldn't stand the drowsiness and soon fell asleep under his caress.
The next day, when she woke up, it was already late in the morning. Mo Rongzhan was no longer in the room.
Jianjia fetched water for her to freshen up. Yesterday, there was a lot of noise in the room. Jianjia heard it clearly from outside and knew what happened. However, when she came in, she acted as if she didn't know anything. She only helped Ye Rou to freshen up as usual.
Ye Zhen knew that Jianjia would sleep in the outer room at night. Last night, she was in a daze and did not refuse Mo Rongzhan. Today, when she saw Jianjia, she remembered last night's indulgence. She didn't know what this palace maid, who never liked to talk, would think that she was shameless to be with Mo Rongzhan before she was married?
Looking at Ye Zhen's blushing face, then looking at her graceful and slender figure, Jia Jia's eyes flashed with a touch of amazement. Before, when she helped the princess change her clothes, she already felt that she was a rare beauty. Her skin was like water. Now, looking at her, her eyes were full of affection and it was hard to hide her tenderness. Her whole body revealed a soul-stirring beauty.
No wonder the emperor loved her like an eyeball and wanted to keep her by his side every day.
If she were a man, with such a fiancée by her side, she would not be able to hold herself back.
"Jianjia, where is the emperor?" Ye Zhen was even more embarrassed by Jianjia's gaze.
"The emperor went to see Lord Lu." Jianjia came back to her senses and smiled at Ye Zhen. "The princess is so beautiful."
Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Jianjia to say such a thing.
"This servant has never seen anyone more beautiful than you." Jianjia whispered, which was her heartfelt words.
"All you see in the army are men. Naturally, you won't see a good-looking girl." Ye Zhen said with a smile. As soon as the words came out, she saw a flash of sadness on Jianjia's face. She quickly explained, "Jianjia, I don't mean anything else."
Jianjia said with a faint smile. "This servant understands Your Highness's meaning. In the military camp, there are almost no women. Even if there are women, they are not good enough to enter my eyes. Before this servant joined the army, I have seen many noble ladies, but I have never seen a person like Your Highness."
Ye Zhen worked as a doctor in the army for a few days. She knew the hardships of the barracks and she took special care of them. However, Jianjia dared not let others know that she was disguised as a man. Moreover, she had to personally go to the battlefield to compete for military merits. One could imagine the hardships. "When you were in the barracks, was it hard?"
"No." Jianjia bowed her head and said.
"How can it not be hard? There are no good days in the barracks at all, not to mention that you are still a woman. You have to be on tenterhooks every day for fear of being known." Ye Zhen said. She looked at Jianjia and asked, "Jianjia, would you like to go back to the capital with me?"
Jianjia looked at Ye Zhen doubtfully. She was already the princess's servant. She didn't understand why the princess still asked such a question.
"You are now at my side by the emperor's order. I hope that you can stay with me willingly." Ye Zhen looked at Jianjia and said.
"This servant is grateful that the princess does not despise the daughter of a sinner." Jianjia bowed and looked at Ye Zhen gratefully. "This servant is willing to follow the princess."
Joy flashed in Ye Zhen's eyes. It was one thing for Jianjia to stay with her, but it was another thing for her to be willing to serve her. Ye Zhen liked this woman and hoped that she could become her confidant in the future.
After grooming, Ye Zhen wanted to go to Mo Rongzhan. But just as she walked to the gate of the second courtyard, she heard a loud noise coming from outside. "Zhong Huai Hou brought people to make trouble again!"
"For his son, he comes to see Lord Lu in person every day." Jianjia whispered.
Ye Zhen silently lit a candle for Zhong Huai Hou in her heart. Today, he came to make trouble again. It was estimated that he would be seen by Mo Rongzhan.
"Are the emperor and my eldest brother in the mansion?" Ye Zhen asked Xue Lin behind her.
Xue Lin said, "The emperor and Lord Lu are in the study."
Ye Zhen smiled, "By the way, how is the matter between Lu Zhenzhu and He Wenze?"
"Minister Lu didn't let the couple meet. Lu Zhenzhu found an excuse to go to Zhuangzi to recuperate. Minister Lu wanted to take the opportunity to send his daughter away to avoid He Wenze. However, He Wenze already knew about it. It is estimated that the couple planned to leave together." Xue Lin said.
"Minister Lu will definitely let people keep an eye on Lu Zhenzhu. You let people lead them away and help them leave." Ye Zhen said.
