Ye Zhen came out of the tent and nodded to Jin Shanshan, who had been waiting outside. Jin Shanshan smiled at her gratefully and went into the tent to look for Wanyan Xi.
"Your Highness." Ye Chunnan came from the other side and looked at Jin Shanshan's figure. "Did you go to see Wanyan Xi?"
"I wanted to ask him about the Witch King of Xiliang." Ye Zhen nodded gently. Instead of finding a better way, her mood became more gloomy.
Ye Chunnan knew about the Empress Dowager. As soon as he heard it, he became serious. "What did Wanyan Xi say?"
"What he said is similar to what I already know." Ye Zhen said faintly, "Why are you here?"
"Oh, I came to see." Ye Chunnan said a little uncomfortably. He definitely wouldn't say that he came for Jin Shanshan or because of the careless kiss yesterday that made him unable to calm down.
Ye Zhen looked at him suspiciously. "Brother, are you hiding something from me?"
"What can I hide from you?" Ye Chunnan said angrily. "Go back and take care of the emperor, lest others take advantage of him."
"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Zhen glared at him.
Ye Chunnan sneered. "Is this what an Empress Dowager should do? Is she not afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
"Brother." Ye Zhen stopped him in a low voice. "She does everything well. She is the Empress Dowager."
"Well, I won't talk about her." Ye Chunnan said, "Who is that Liu?"
Ye Zhen glared at him. "Are you looking for Jin Shanshan?"
"Why would I look for her?" Ye Chunnan shook his head immediately.
"Brother, I see that you are not young anymore. Why don't you take advantage of this draft and let the emperor bestow a marriage for you? I will check for you and choose a wife that you like." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Ye Chunnan's head swelled. "Good sister, I beg you, don't bestow a marriage to me."
"How can that be? You are alone in the capital without a caring person to take care of you. I can't explain it to father." Ye Zhen said aggrievedly.
"I remember that I have something to do. Ah, let's talk about it later." Ye Chunnan was afraid that his sister would really bestow a marriage to him, so he found an excuse and ran away.
Looking at Ye Chunnan's fleeing back, Ye Zhen chuckled. She looked at the tent behind her. Her brother seemed to care about Jin Shanshan.
It's just that Jin Shanshan was burdened by her family's vengeance. She should not think about personal affairs.
Ye Zhen walked slowly back to Mo Rongzhan's tent. Passing by the place where the empress dowager lived, she stopped and looked at the door.
If what Wanyan Xi said was true and the Empress Dowager was not hypnotized, but her nature was stimulated, then the Empress Dowager really hated her and blamed her. Then why did the Empress Dowager treat her so well before?
She didn't believe that the Empress Dowager was faking it. She truly felt that the Empress Dowager truly loved her.
Ye Zhen quickly returned to Mo Rongzhan's tent. He was talking to Tang Zhen. When he saw her coming in with her head down, he let Tang Zhen go out first.
Tang Zhen looked at Ye Zhen doubtfully. He had never seen her so depressed.
"What's wrong?" Mo Rongzhan held her waist and lifted her chin with one hand. "What happened?"
"What's the matter?" Mo Rongzhan put his arm around her waist and gently lifted her chin with one hand. "What happened?"
She didn't want to be submissive anymore. Today, she made the Empress Dowager so angry. It was estimated that the Empress Dowager would not change her mind so quickly. If she continued to endure, she felt that she could not do it.
Mo Rongzhan knew that she must have heard something from Wanyan Xi, so he didn't ask much. He believed that she would understand.
In fact, Ye Zhen was just sad for a while. She would not be immersed in sadness and could not extricate herself. This was not her character.
"I just figured something out." Ye Zhen pushed Mo Rongzhan in a low voice. "I'm fine now."
"Good." Mo Rongzhan kissed her forehead. "I sent someone to Xiliang. We should know what happened there soon."
Ye Zhen told Mo Rongzhan what she had just learned from Wanyan Xi. "If what Wanyan Xi said is true, then the Witch King of Xiliang has a big problem."
Mo Rongzhan frowned. If what Wanyan Xi said was true, then the Witch King of Xiliang wanted to usurp the throne. Would Ye Yaoyao be the Witch King's disciple? If so, did the Empress Dowager become like this have something to do with him?
"Leave the matter of Xiliang to me. Don't worry." Mo Rongzhan whispered.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. What did she worry about Xiliang? What did Xiliang have to do with her? What she was embarrassed about was how to treat the Empress Dowager in the future.
"Your Majesty, the man who came out of the mountain with you just now asked to see you outside." Eunuch Fu said from outside.
"It should be Wanyan Xi. I'll go out first." Ye Zhen glanced at Mo Rongzhan. With her here, he and Wanyan Xi must have something to say.
Mo Rongzhan said, "I'll go to the next tent to see him. You can rest here."
Before Ye Zhen nodded, Mo Rongzhan had already strode out.
Next to the emperor's tent, there was a smaller official tent, which was used by Mo Rongzhan when he was free to read memorials or discuss important matters with the ministers. Ye Zhen was also bored in the tent, so she simply went outside.
Many of the aristocratic children who came with Mo Rongzhan to hunt were still in the mountains. The whole camp seemed to be empty. She looked at the distant mountain peaks and remembered the memories of playing nearby when she was a child.
"This subject's daughter greets the Empress."
Ye Zhen was still recalling the happy times of the past when a woman's voice suddenly sounded behind her. She looked back and saw that it was Liu Zhihua. "You may rise. What's the matter, Miss Liu?"
Liu Zhihua looked up at Ye Zhen and unconsciously bowed her head. "This subject's daughter saw the Empress here and happened to pass by, so I salute you."
"Aren't you serving the Empress Dowager?" Ye Zhen asked faintly.
"The Empress Dowager has fallen asleep." Liu Zhihua whispered, "Today, this subject's daughter let the Empress misunderstand."
Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile. "What did this Empress misunderstand you?"
Liu Zhihua was somewhat speechless. She had just come out of the Empress Dowager's tent and saw the Empress standing not far away with her back to her. She just wanted to come and see the Empress.
Although the Empress may not be able to prevent her from entering the palace next month, she was still uneasy. She always felt that the Empress would not let her go easily.
If she had known that the Empress was so unparalleled, she would not have obeyed her aunt's arrangement to serve the Empress Dowager.
She was like a dim pearl beside the Empress, completely overshadowed by the Empress' brilliance.
"This subject's daughter serves the Empress Dowager, not for anything else, but to be grateful for the Empress Dowager's attention." Liu Zhihua whispered.
