"This servant greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed." Qian Xue looked up at Mo Rongzhan, but the youth from back then appeared in her mind.
Mo Rongzhan looked at her calmly. "If we hadn't seen you once in the mountains, we would've thought that you were still the Qian Xue from back then in the palace."
Qian Xue said, "This servant has always been Qian Xue."
"We thought you were just a palace maid," Mo Rongzhan said coldly. If Qian Xue wasn't an assassin of Qian Luosha, he would've definitely rewarded her for her past and let her live the rest of her life without worries.
"Your Majesty, you didn't keep me in the palace because you wanted this servant to serve you like I did back then, right?" Qian Xue asked with a smile.
Mo Rongzhan's thin lips curled into a cold smile. "Back then, you joined Qian Luosha after leaving the palace, right?"
Qian Xue smiled. "Since Your Majesty has already found out, why ask?"
"You know what we want to ask," Mo Rongzhan said calmly. "Did you leave the palace have anything to do with King Karma?"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Although this servant served King Karma in the past, ever since this servant followed you, I haven't seen King Karma again." Qian Xue said with a smile.
Mo Rongzhan slowly stood up. "Is that so? We thought that the only person in this world who could make you listen and sacrifice everything was King Karma."
The smile on Qian Xue's face froze. "Your Majesty, King Karma already made this servant your woman back then."
"That's right, King Karma asked you to take care of us. You would only listen to King Karma." Mo Rongzhan said calmly. "Where is King Karma?"
"This servant doesn't know what Your Majesty is talking about," Qian Xue said quietly.
Mo Rongzhan looked sharply at Qian Xue. "You know very well what I'm talking about. Before I met you, I already suspected him. Now, I'm just more certain."
Qian Xue turned to look at Mo Rongzhan. "Since Your Majesty already knows, why ask this servant? Why don't you just kill this servant?"
"Why would we kill you?" Mo Rongzhan smiled. "King Karma might come to find us and ask us to let you go."
"You want to use me as bait to kill King Ke?" Qian Xue's expression finally changed. She no longer pretended to be a loyal and devoted maidservant.
Mo Rongzhan said coldly, "King Karma is my brother. He did not do anything wrong, nor did he break any laws. Why should I kill him?"
Qianxue said, "Your Majesty, just kill me."
"Why should I kill you?" Mo Rongzhan smiled. "Since you have served me in the past, you can stay in the palace. You and King Ke should have not seen each other for a long time. If he returns to the palace and sees you, he will be happy."
"Your Majesty, I am but an insignificant servant. If King Karma sees me, how would he remember me?" Qianxue said with a smile.
Mo Rongzhan said, "You should ask King Karma if he remembers you."
Qian Xue frowned as she looked at Mo Rongzhan. "Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I just want to know who made you become Qian Luosha's killer. How did you learn your martial arts in the palace?" Mo Rongzhan asked calmly.
"I knew a bit of martial arts before I entered the palace. Later, I met Eunuch Qiu in the palace. He taught me martial arts." Qianxue was a little anxious. She was not afraid of being captured and brought into the palace. At worst, she would die. However, the emperor did not seem to want her life now.
Eunuch Qiu … Mo Rongzhan thought carefully for a while before he remembered who it was. It was an old eunuch in King Ke's palace. He had passed away a few years ago. Qianxue said that he taught her. Who knew if Eunuch Qiu really knew martial arts?
"Who made you Qian Luosha's killer?" Mo Rongzhan asked again.
"After I left the palace and returned to my hometown, I found out that my parents had already died of a plague. I had no one to rely on. Later, I fell sick and was saved by a cook from Qian Luosha!" Qianxue said. This was the excuse she had thought of before.
Mo Rongzhan only looked at her with a faint smile. His eyes were cold and mocking. It seemed like he did not believe her. He knew that he would not be able to get anything out of Qianxue.
"Take her away." Mo Rongzhan ordered Eunuch Fu. He clearly did not want to interrupt her questioning.
Qianxue looked at Mo Rongzhan's tall figure. "Your Majesty, the person this servant wants to capture is Wanyan Xi. If you insist on protecting him, there will be trouble in the future."
Mo Rongzhan's lips curled into a cold smile. "I have never been afraid of trouble."
"If that's the case, why don't you kill this servant?" Qianxue asked.
"Of course you are useful. Stay in the palace. Maybe King Ke will come back soon." Mo Rongzhan said calmly. He waved his hand for Eunuch Fu to take Qianxue away.
Eunuch Fu finally realized that the emperor did not have any old feelings for Qianxue. He clearly wanted to use Qianxue to lure King Ke out.
He knew it. How could this Qianxue compare to the empress?
Mo Rongzhan looked at Qianxue's departing back and called Shen Yi in. "Spread the news about Qianxue. Be sure to let King Ke know about this."
With Qian Luosha's well-informed network, he should soon know about this matter. He wanted to know if Murong Ke would come back after knowing that Qianxue was in his hands. If Murong Ke was really the Pavilion Master of Qian Luosha, did Ye Zhen's previous pursuit have anything to do with him?
Although Ye Zhen did not say it, he could see that she felt a little guilty about Murong Ke. It was difficult for Mo Rongzhan to judge whether Murong Ke saved Ye Zhen repeatedly in Dongqing by accident or for other purposes. However, before the truth came to light, he did not want Ye Zhen to know about this matter.
Mo Rongzhan returned to the harem and stood outside the hall. He looked at Ye Zhen who seemed to be busy with something. She seemed to be in a good mood, with a pleasant smile on her face.
"Yao Yao." Mo Rongzhan walked in. "What are you busy with?"
"Your Majesty." Hong Ying and the others knelt down and saluted.
"You are dismissed." Mo Rongzhan dismissed all the palace maids in the hall and stepped forward to hold Ye Zhen's hand. "You're in a good mood."
Ye Zhen took his arm and said, "I went to see the clinic. The location is very good. As long as it is repaired, it will be fine. Now, we just need a manager."
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows. "You seem to have a candidate in mind."
"Hou Peidong." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "I think he is the most suitable candidate."
Mo Rongzhan nodded and asked faintly, "It is indeed suitable. You knew that it was dangerous outside the palace but refused to come back. Is it because of this matter?"
Ye Zhen heard the displeasure in his tone. Her clear eyes looked at him coquettishly. "They didn't come for me. I thought there should be nothing wrong. Besides, aren't there Xue Lin and Wu Chong? I also went to the Ye family to find my brother."
"Mmm." Mo Rongzhan looked at her coldly.
Ye Zhen leaned forward and kissed him a few times. "Am I not back in one piece?"
