There were only Ye Zhen and Qi Ruoshui in the room.
Qi Ruoshui walked to the window facing the street. The location of this teahouse was excellent. A faint smile floated on the corner of her mouth.
"Miss Qi, please sit down." Ye Zhen sat down and put the teapot on the three-legged stove.
"The empress seems to want to have a long talk with me." Qi Ruoshui smiled and sat down. "I didn't know she would tell you such a scandal. Yes, Xi 'er's life experience is shameful, and his illness is also because of it. But so what? I have already given birth to him. Can I strangle him?"
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "How did Huangfu Jiulan die?"
Qi Ruoshui looked up at Ye Zhen. "Empress, what do you want to ask?"
"Although the medical officer told me about your life experience, she knew nothing about what happened after you left. I would like to know." Ye Zhen said.
"I don't understand why the empress is asking this. Is it useful to find A 'Chen?" Qi Ruoshui asked faintly. She didn't want to mention Huangfu Jiulan at all.
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "They are all surnamed Huangfu. Huangfu Jiulan has been in the priest hall for so many years. Do you think there is no connection?"
"He died not long after I was taken to the priest hall." Qi Ruoshui said quickly, a flash of sadness in her eyes.
"How did he die?" For the first time, Ye Zhen saw emotion in Qi Ruoshui's eyes. For so long, every time she saw her, her eyes were as calm as water, as if nothing in the world could arouse a ripple in her heart.
Qi Ruoshui narrowed her eyes slightly. "He died of illness."
"Chiluan took you away to cure Huangfu Jiulan, but Huangfu Jiulan's illness is not a physical illness, but a psychological one." Ye Zhen looked at her seriously and asked.
"Empress, I don't think this problem has anything to do with recalling A 'Chen." Qi Ruoshui asked with an ugly face. She didn't want to mention Huangfu Jiulan's death. It was the past she didn't want to recall in her life.
Ye Zhen ignored her words and continued, "Huangfu Jiulan did something wrong because he didn't know you were his daughter and felt guilty, so he fell ill. What about Qeluan? What did she think of this matter? How did she treat you after your father's death?" Ye Zhen asked.
Qi Ruoshui could no longer listen, his face was terrifyingly gloomy. The disguise that he had worked hard to maintain was almost about to break. "What does this have to do with Chaluan?"
"You said that Chiluan had an adopted daughter. The current Shaman King is her adopted daughter," Ye Zhen said.
"So what?" Qi Ruoshui coldly asked.
Ye Zhen smiled. "Then let's talk about how you escaped from the Priest Hall."
Qi Ruoshui raised her eyes and looked at Ye Zhen faintly. From the moment she stepped into the capital, many things happened under her arrangement, including making Ye Zhen doubt her appearance. Even Qi Jin's confession of their lives was within her expectations. She never put the Empress in her eyes. In her opinion, the Empress was just a good-looking woman.
However, today, she learned that Ye Zhen knew too much, more than she wanted to reveal.
"It must not be easy to escape from the Priest Hall. Not only did you escape, but you also lived in silence for more than ten years. Coincidentally, you appeared when Huangfu Jiulan was taken away by the people of the Priest Hall. You should not have seen Huangfu Jiulan for many years." Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Qi Ruoshui looked at her coldly, "Your Highness, you have been questioning me since we sat down. So, what are you suspecting? Huangfu Chen was taken away by me, and I was not in my right mind and ran to the capital to fall into the trap. What did I do to make you suspect me like this?"
"Isn't everything you have done to make me suspect you?" Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "You probably didn't see the note left by Huangfu Jiulan."
Qi Ruoshui's face darkened slightly. After she took Huangfu Chen away, she did not look for any clues left by him because it was not necessary. It was in the Kingdom of Qi. Even if someone later found out that Huangfu Chen was missing, by the time they found the place, all the clues had disappeared.
"You know that he left a clue. So, you have been sending secret guards to follow him?" Qi Ruoshui asked with a frown.
Ye Zhen did not speak. The secret guards sent by Mo Rongzhan had been thrown off by Huangfu Chen. Otherwise, they would not have found only a note left by him when they found him.
"It seems that your secret guards are not so powerful." Qi Ruoshui saw that Ye Zhen did not say anything. She chuckled, "So, since Your Highness suspects me, it must be more than this. What other reasons are there for you to suspect me?"
Ye Rou said calmly, "If it wasn't someone who is very familiar with Mr. Huangfu, it would be impossible for them to know where he is, and even more impossible for them to approach him and take him away. Only you and Mr. Shan were able to get Mr. Shan to set up this trap. Mr. Huangfu is her savior, so it's natural for her to come back to the capital to tell this consort about this news. Ye Yaoyao also came back to find you, right?"
Qi Ruoshui looked up at Ye Zhen, "Your Highness has suspected me for so long, but you have not been sure. Why are you so sure today?"
"Because I can't think of any woman who can be so cruel to hurt her own child. Probably the people who come out of the temple are more unusual." Ye Zhen looked at Qi Ruoshui coldly, "It seems that Luan has trained your adopted daughter very well."
"Your Highness is really smart." Qi Ruoshui chuckled. It seemed that there was no use in pretending anymore. "What are you going to do now?"
"Why don't you tell me why you took Huangfu Chen away?" Ye Zhen asked lightly.
Qi Ruoshui smiled and looked at Ye Zhen flirtatiously. "I heard that in addition to the Jin Emperor, Huangfu Chen is also deeply in love with you. I have always wanted to know what kind of woman you are, Lu Yaoyao."
Ye Rou looked at her coldly. "Mr. Huangfu is ben gong's master."
"Master?" Qi Ruoshui covered her mouth and smiled, "It's no big deal for a master to fall in love with his disciple."
"Compared to you?" Ye Zhen asked lightly.
Qi Ruoshui's face turned cold.
Ye Zhen continued, "Take control of the royal power of Xiliang, capture Huangfu Chen, and start a war between Xiliang and the Jin Empire. Witch King, what do you want to do?"
"Why don't you invite Your Highness to the temple? Won't you know everything then?" Qi Ruoshui said.
Hearing Qi Ruoshui's words, Ye Zhen also understood the reason why she came to the capital in person. "It's really hard for the Witch King to invite me to the temple."
"Not entirely for you." Qi Ruoshui said with a smile, "I also want to take back my son. After all, he is my own son. It's better to bring him with me."
