?
Ye Zhen thought that she would definitely fall into the lotus pond. Whether she would drown or not was secondary. With Mo Rongyi here, he would surely send someone to save her. However, she couldn't bear to lose face here.
Once she fell into the water, her reputation would definitely be tarnished. At that time, she might not be able to enter the palace to become a female medical officer. For the first time, Ye Zhen felt a strong anger towards the eldest princess and her daughter.
She didn't want to provoke them. From the beginning, they refused to let her go. Don't think that she didn't see the eldest princess winking at the two palace maids. How could a dignified eldest princess be so vicious!
She didn't expect someone to save her. Ye Zhen thought several times in her heart about what to do if she fell into the water without tarnishing her reputation. Before she could decide which method to use, she was already held by someone and stood firm.
"Thank you …" She felt her feet on the ground and was overjoyed. She looked up to thank the person who saved her.
The first thing she saw was a handsome face with sharp edges, sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, thin lips slightly pursed. He was dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden dragons, with dark golden auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, which made his face look like a jade crown and added a bit of nobility. However, his cold eyes and innate domineering aura made no one around him dare to make a sound.
Mo Rongzhan?! How could it be him?
Ye Zhen's face changed slightly. Without thinking about it, she immediately pushed him away and took a few steps back. The resistance and disgust in her eyes almost couldn't be concealed.
"Imperial brother." Mo Rongyi's face was happy, but then he showed a timid look. He had been afraid of his elder brother since he was a child. Now, seeing his cold face, he was too scared to speak.
The eldest princess's face was not very good, but she still saluted. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Liu Hua looked at Mo Rongzhan shyly and happily and took two steps forward. "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Mo Rongzhan's cold eyes fell on Ye Zhen's body. Seeing that she just hung her head slightly and didn't say a word, he said in a deep voice, "Raise your head."
Is he talking to me? Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat. Her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists. She slowly raised her head and bent her knees to salute. "This official's daughter greets the emperor. Thank you for saving my life."
Compared to when he met her in Chengde Villa, this little girl was a little different. Mo Rongzhan looked at her indifferently and then turned to glance at the others. "What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, this lowly commoner knocked me down and still refuses to admit his mistake." Liu Hua stared at Ye Zhen's beautiful face, her heart filled with jealousy. Fearing that the emperor would be attracted to her, she immediately walked over and cried out in grievance.
Mo Rongyi said unhappily, "You fell on your own. How did Yaoyao bump into you?"
Princess Royal coldly snorted, "Little Prince, did you see Liuhua fall down by herself? This Princess knows that you are partial to Lu Yaoyao, but you can't lie with your eyes open. "
"You ….." Mo Rongyi's little face turned red from anger. The Eldest Princess was his aunt, but this aunt didn't like them in the past. He still remembered one year when he and his mother met the Eldest Princess. His mother wanted to greet her, but this woman said in front of everyone that his mother's status was low and she wasn't worthy of talking to her.
Mo Rongyi remembered that scene very clearly. That year, his imperial brother had just left the capital to go to war. His father no longer doted on his mother, who was only a nobleman. They did not have a good life in the palace. Although he was young, he clearly remembered Princess Royal's expression at that time.
Now, his imperial brother was the most distinguished person in the Jin Kingdom. Why did Princess Royal still dare to show an arrogant attitude in front of them?
Mo Rongyi gritted his teeth and glared at Princess Royal. "Even if this prince wants to help Lu Yaoyao, so what? She is this prince's friend. If this prince doesn't help her, should I help you? "
"You are presumptuous!" Princess Royal scolded without thinking, "How dare you talk to this Princess like this!"
"Princess Royal, then tell this prince, how should this prince talk to you? Or do you think that this prince is not qualified to talk to you? "Mo Rongyi's young and immature face was full of indignation.
Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongyi in surprise. She did not expect this little prince to speak for her like this.
Princess Royal probably did not expect that Mo Rongyi, who had always been obedient and cowardly, would dare to speak like this. In her impression, Mo Rongyi was the same as the Empress Dowager, timid and useless. She never put them in her eyes. Now that she was questioned by Mo Rongyi, she could not answer.
It turned out that the person she treated as a white rabbit also had sharp teeth.
Mo Rongzhan pursed his thin lips slightly and said to Mo Rongyi with a sullen face, "Aren't you still sick? Why did you run out? "
"Imperial brother, I … I will go back immediately." Mo Rongyi's fighting spirit immediately subsided when he met Mo Rongzhan.
"Have you taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor? Why is your complexion so poor? "Mo Rongzhan frowned at him, his tone very displeased.
Mo Rongyi immediately nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, Imperial Brother, I have taken the medicine obediently."
"Go back to the prince." Mo Rongzhan glanced at him and asked the eunuch next to him to send Mo Rongyi back. Then he looked back at the Princess Royal and said in a faint tone, "Princess Royal, Yi is still young and ignorant. Don't bother with him."
The reason why the Princess Royal's status has not changed to this day is not only because of her domineering attitude, but also because of her adaptability and vision. Two years ago, she saw that the Crown Prince could not sit firmly on the throne even if he ascended to the throne, so she secretly helped Mo Rongzhan usurp the throne. Otherwise, she would be under house arrest like the other members of the royal family today.
"Your Majesty is right. After all, the little prince is still a child. However, this Lu Yaoyao did contradict me just now. Your Majesty, this Imperial Concubine can deal with an unruly commoner." The Princess Royal did not intend to let Ye Zhen go at all.
"Princess Royal, the Empress Dowager likes this girl very much. If you want to deal with her, you'd better ask the Empress Dowager first …" Mo Rongzhan's dark eyes flashed with a cold light. "I saw very clearly just now that Lu Yaoyao did not contradict Liu Hua. What she said to the Princess Royal is not rude."
The Princess Royal's face changed. "In that case … then I won't care about this little girl. Liu Hua, the Empress Dowager is still waiting for us. Let's go!"
Liu Hua pursed her lips, feeling wronged. She finally got to see her cousin, the Emperor. How could he speak for Lu Yaoyao? Didn't he know that Lu Yaoyao made her lose face?
"Your Majesty, how can you help her? Is it because she is Lu Wushuang's sister that you speak for her?" Liu Hua stamped her feet and asked.
Mo Rongzhan's face was cold. He looked down at Liu Hua coldly. "Princess Liu Hua, so what if I help her?"
"Your Majesty …" Liu Hua called him in a low voice, trying to get some pity from him.
The Princess Royal came over and took her hand. She forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, we will take our leave first."
Mo Rongzhan nodded indifferently.
