Ye Zhen never dared to let people know her secrets. Except for a few people she absolutely trusted, she was cautious in front of everyone. She just didn't want people to see how much Lu Yaoyao resembled Ye Zhen and have any doubts.
But what did Lu Lingzhi just say?
Did he think she was Ye Zhen? Was he possessed, or did he discover her secret?
"You think I am Ye Zhen?" Ye Zhen looked at Lu Lingzhi coldly, trying to find some clues from his face.
Lu Lingzhi smiled, "I have known you for two years, but I didn't know that you have a nickname, Yao Yao. If it were not for the arrangement of God, how could you come to my side as Lu Yaoyao? Yao Yao, since you can forgive Mo Rongzhan, can you … forgive me once?"
Sure enough, he knew!
Ye Zhen's first thought was to deny it, but she quickly calmed down. Since Lu Lingzhi had already thought of it, he must know something.
"Did Qi Ruoshui hypnotize you and make you think I am Ye Zhen?" Ye Zhen asked with a sneer.
Lu Lingzhi seemed to have expected her to say this. He smiled slightly, "I don't need someone to hypnotize me. Yao Yao, when we were in the White Dragon River, I had already guessed it. If it weren't for you, who would hate me so much? If you were Lu Yaoyao, who was raised in the Lu family since childhood, how could you watch me be exiled to the wilderness? "
"I saw you with my own eyes …" Lu Lingzhi looked at her deeply. He saw her being swallowed by the sea of fire with his own eyes. "No matter how you came back, it's good that the person I like has always been you."
From the day she met Lu Lingzhi, she knew that he was a very keen person, so it was not surprising that he began to doubt her in the White Dragon River.
"What a madman." Ye Zhen scolded softly. Even if he knew, she would not be the Ye Zhen in his mouth.
Lu Lingzhi smiled softly, "If you can forgive me, what's wrong with being a madman in your eyes?"
"Forgive you?" Ye Zhen chuckled and looked at him mockingly. "Lu Lingzhi, where do you get the face and self-confidence? You killed Ye Zhen. You took her jade pendant and let Lu Wushuang replace her old friend in the emperor's mind. It was you who made her spend two years of lonely life in Prince Qin's Mansion. Did you really send the letter she wrote to the emperor at that time?" Ye Zhen's face turned cold.
No! Any letter Ye Zhen wrote to Mo Rongzhan at that time was kept by him. At that time, he didn't know what he was thinking. Was it for Shuang 'er, or was it because he didn't want Mo Rongzhan to have her?
"Yao Yao, I was wrong in the past. I'm sorry." Lu Lingzhi apologized. He would not hurt her for others like he did in the past.
Ye Zhen looked at him disdainfully and indifferently. She didn't need his apology.
Lu Lingzhi didn't expect Ye Zhen to forgive him with just a few words today. Didn't it take Mo Rongzhan a long time to get her forgiveness? If he could do better than Mo Rongzhan, she would definitely forgive him.
"Where is Lu Wushuang?" Ye Zhen asked. Since Lu Lingzhi could live well, Madam Liu put down everything in the capital and went to the Wasteland to look for him. Obviously, he should not be too bad. However, what she wanted to know was Lu Wushuang.
"Why do you want to know about Shuang 'er?" Lu Lingzhi asked softly.
"Where is she?" Ye Zhen asked again. Lu Wushuang once appeared at the border. She should not be in the Jin Kingdom. If she was in Xi Liang, Wanyan Xi should know about it. If she was not in the Jin Kingdom or Xi Liang, then where would she be?
Lu Lingzhi said, "Shuang 'er is my little sister. She won't have the chance to hurt you again."
It seemed that Lu Lingzhi would not tell her the whereabouts of Lu Wushuang, and Ye Zhen did not want to ask again.
"Have a good rest, I will prepare dry food and water for the journey." Lu Lingzhi whispered to Ye Zhen. 7k～～
Ye Zhen looked at him coldly, but in her heart, she was a little anxious. She didn't know when Mo Rongzhan would find this mountain road. If it was a little later, she would be taken away by Lu Lingzhi.
…
…
There was still no news of Ye Zhen!
They had searched the surrounding hundred miles and almost turned the entire capital upside down, but there was still no trace of her.
Qi Jin had woken up. She endured her grief and went to the palace to see Mo Rongzhan.
It was Qi Ruoshui! She had suspected that Qi Ruoshui deliberately hurt Xi 'er. She had always hoped that it was not her.
Yesterday, not long after the empress left the Qi family, a man appeared. He not only knocked her out, but also took Xi 'er away. Although the man did not say anything, she knew that he was Qi Ruoshui's subordinate.
Qi Jin knew that it was impossible to protect Qi Ruoshui now. Qi Ruoshui was no longer her daughter.
She told Mo Rongzhan everything about Qi Ruoshui's life. Although it was shameful, it was no longer a matter of shame.
Mo Rongzhan understood why Ye Zhen refused to tell the secret of Qi Jin and her daughter. "So, Qi Zixi is the son of Qi Ruoshui and Huangfu Jilan?"
Qi Jin bowed her head in embarrassment. It was because her father was Huangfu Jilan that Xi 'er had an incurable disease since childhood.
"Yes." Qi Jin said in a low voice. "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. It was I who harmed the empress."
"Qi Ruoshui has only been in the capital for a few days. Has she already been able to bribe the court officials to cover her tracks and leave the capital?" Mo Rongzhan asked Elder Xu.
Elder Xu said in a low voice, "I have sent people to investigate. The officials in the court who were bribed by Qi Ruoshui have been removed from their positions. They are now being interrogated in the Overwatch Council."
Mo Rongzhan nodded coldly. He frowned and thought, "If there is no trace in the capital …"
Shen Yi and the others had already searched a hundred miles around the capital. What else could they have missed?
He did not believe that Qi Ruoshui had the ability to fly. They must still be somewhere.
Qi Jin suddenly thought of something. She looked up and said, "Your Majesty, Qi Ruoshui used to like to pick herbs at Mount Guiyun. Mount Guiyun and Mount Bao Jing are connected, but there is no road leading to each other. Once you leave Mount Bao Jing, you will reach Liang City …"
Liang City was to the west of the capital. It was surrounded by mountains and narrow roads. No one would choose such a road to escape.
Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "I will personally go to Mount Guiyun!"
Eunuch Fu immediately agreed. The guards in the palace were on standby, waiting for Mo Rongzhan's orders at any time.
Mount Guiyun was very big. It was the largest mountain in the outskirts of the capital. Hu Guo Temple was to the east. Because there were wild beasts in the mountain, unless they were suicidal, normal prey rarely appeared in the mountain. Thus, there was no mountain road.
Mo Rongzhan led people into the mountain to search. Finally, they found a hidden mountain road beside the abyss.
"Your Majesty, there is a mountain road here. It looks like it was dug not long ago." Shen Yi swept away the weeds and saw a road big enough for carriages to pass.
On the other side of the mountain road was an abyss. If one did not specifically come to search, no one would find that there was a road here.
"Chase!" Mo Rongzhan ordered in a low voice.
