Because of the Empress Dowager's decree, Ye Zhen had no time to find Zhao Yang for several days. Finally, when she was free, she took Hong Ling to Gourd Alley to find Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang had been back in the capital for a few days, but she had been living in seclusion. No one knew of her return, except for the servants who looked after her house. She was not surprised by Ye Zhen's visit, as if she had already known that Ye Zhen would come.
"Princess Zhao Yang, you don't seem surprised to see me." Ye Zhen looked at her former friends. Although they often acted as if they were competing with each other, in fact, only they knew that they appreciated each other. Otherwise, she would not have often invited Zhao Yang to the Ye family's hunting grounds.
"Indeed, I'm not surprised, but I came later than I thought." Zhao Yang said faintly. Although they had the same face, it was difficult for her to have the same feelings for Ye Zhen.
She was not a person who was easily enthusiastic. How could she treat Lu Yaoyao like Ye Zhen?
Ye Zhen smiled. "So, you are also very clear about the purpose of my visit this time?"
Zhao Yang walked to the table and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for Ye Zhen. "I have admired Lord Ye for a long time. I went to the capital to find out the truth of Ye Zhen's accident, but also for him, not because you asked me to take care of him. Perhaps Lord Ye pitied me and couldn't bear to see me become a widow? That's what you want to know. That's right, I fell in love first. I fell in love with Lord Ye many years ago. I had no choice but to marry into the Dark North Kingdom. I originally thought that I had no hope in this life. Being able to receive Lord Ye's pity is enough for my wish. As for the rest, I won't force it. You don't have to worry. "
Ye Zhen's eyes widened in surprise. Zhao Yang fell in love with her father many years ago?
Impossible! At that time, she … she was just a little girl, and her mother was still alive. How could Zhao Yang fall in love with him?
"You … you said you fell in love long ago. When was that? You haven't gotten married yet? At that time, my mother was still alive, and you didn't see my father often. It's just that when you learned riding and shooting … you fell in love with my father? "Ye Zhen asked incredulously.
She had already guessed that it was Zhao Yang who had first fallen in love with her father, but she had never thought that … it would be something so long ago. She had always thought that Zhao Yang had developed feelings for her father after being together for a long time in the capital.
Zhao Yang narrowed her eyes at Ye Zhen. "How do you know that I didn't see Lord Ye often before? How do you know that I learned riding and archery from him?"
There was no way Ye Yiqing would tell Lu Yaoyao about this.
Ye Zhen was still in shock. "That's not important! You … when you were decreed to be betrothed, you said that it would be the same no matter who you married in this life, and that whoever you wanted to marry couldn't marry you at all. Were you talking about my father? "
She suddenly remembered what Zhao Yang had said before she married into the Dark North Kingdom. At that time, she didn't understand what it meant, but now she understood everything.
Zhao Yang's face changed as he looked at Ye Zhen in shock. "Who the hell are you?"
Ye Zhen came back to her senses and turned to look at Zhao Yang. Only then did she realize that she had accidentally said what only Ye Zhen knew. "I am Lu Yaoyao."
"You are not Lu Yaoyao. How could Lu Yaoyao know what I said before I got married? How could you know something that even your father doesn't know? Don't tell me that you have a telepathic connection with Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen is dead, can you still have a telepathic connection with a dead person?" Zhao Yang asked sternly.
Zhao Yang asked sternly. "Maybe it's because Ye Zhen and I are twins. When she knows, I know, too." Ye Zhen laughed, knowing that it would be a little difficult to hide from Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang did not speak, but stared at her seriously.
She hadn't seen Ye Zhen for many years. When she left the capital, Ye Zhen's facial features were not fully developed. She still looked like a delicate little girl. If she didn't know that Ye Zhen had an accident, she would definitely think that the person in front of her was Ye Zhen.
It was said that Ye Zhen was burned beyond recognition. Who knew who the dead person was? Even a maid with the same figure could be mistaken for Ye Zhen.
"You are Ye Zhen, aren't you?" Zhao Yang looked at her with a frown. "The person who died in Prince Qin's Mansion was not you at all! Is that right? No, no, if you are Ye Zhen, what about Lu Yaoyao? "
Ye Zhen could let her father and brother know about her rebirth, but she couldn't tell Zhao Yang about it.
What if she couldn't accept it?
"Lu Yaoyao died when she returned to the capital." Ye Zhen whispered, "At that time … the confidant my father left for me escaped and replaced me with the Lu family."
Zhao Yang looked at her in shock. "So, you are really Ye Zhen?"
Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Yang with a wry smile and nodded gently. "It's me, Zhao Yang."
"Let me rest for a while." Zhao Yang stretched out her hand and motioned for Ye Zhen to stop talking.
Lu Yaoyao is Ye Zhen … The real Lu Yaoyao is dead, so today's Lu Yaoyao is actually her friend from many years ago. "You … why didn't you tell me when you were in the capital?"
"What should I say?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. "I can only be Lu Yaoyao now. I can't be Ye Zhen anymore. No one knows about this except my father, brother, and Mo Rongzhan. I can't bear to let Third Master Lu and his wife suffer the pain of losing their daughter. Isn't it good now?"
Zhao Yang didn't know how to describe the feelings in her heart at this time. When she learned that Ye Zhen had an accident, she didn't know how many times she cried quietly. Now that she learned that Ye Zhen was not dead, she felt … relieved.
She never believed that Ye Zhen would die like that.
"Does Mo Rongzhan know that you are Ye Zhen?" Zhao Yang was always a calm person. She quickly caught the doubt in Ye Zhen's words.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "He knows."
"Are you out of your mind? He treated you like that, yet you still married him?" Zhao Yang asked angrily. "Aren't you afraid that he will hurt you again?"
"I'm a person who has died once. What's there to be afraid of? He and I used to have a misunderstanding … "Ye Zhen whispered.
"What kind of misunderstanding can make him ignore you for two years? He didn't even care that you were dead. He only gave you a title after two years? Bah, I mean you who faked your death. "
Ye Zhen chuckled and then said seriously, "I'll tell you about Mo Rongzhan and I later. You should tell me clearly first. What's going on between you and my father? Why didn't I see that you were in love before? "
Zhao Yang's attitude towards Ye Zhen was different from before. In her heart, she knew that Ye Zhen was Lu Yaoyao. Her feelings were different. "I didn't intend to tell you about this. I couldn't hold it in when I was in the capital …"
Zhao Yang told Ye Zhen about her feelings for Ye Yiqing, her resentful marriage, and what happened when she went to the capital. She laughed self-deprecatingly. "… Maybe Lord Ye just sympathizes with me."
"My father never marries a woman just because he sympathizes with her." Ye Zhen whispered.
