Ye Zhen fell into a deep sleep in Mo Rongzhan's arms. Finally, there were no more nightmares at night. This was the most peaceful sleep she had had in days.
Mo Rongzhan was not sleepy. He held Ye Zhen in his arms with one hand and gently stroked her little hand. He had never seen her cry so sadly, as if … as if she had really lost him.
It was only today that he realized how much she cared about him. Although she was already his empress, she had always had a knot in her heart because of Lu Wushuang. He was not even sure how much she cared about him.
How could she think that he might forget her and even like another woman? Apart from her, he did not know who else he could fall in love with.
"So silly!" Mo Rongzhan sighed helplessly and kissed her cheek a few times. "I will not forget you."
If one day he forgot her, he would be the one in more pain. How could he bear to forget her and hurt her again?
She was a treasure that he could not wait to hold in his hands and protect.
Mo Rongzhan hugged her and closed his eyes. He thought to himself that he would let Murong Ke go to Xia Zhou for him. He would accompany Yao Yao back to the capital. She had probably been living in fear outside for too long, so she was restless and had nightmares.
"Ah Zhan …" Ye Zhen rubbed herself against his chest and mumbled out.
"Well, I am here." Mo Rongzhan's thin lips curved into a faint smile and gently patted her shoulder.
Ye Zhen smiled in her sleep and slept more peacefully.
The next day, when Ye Zhen woke up, it was already late in the morning. Mo Rongzhan was not in the room. She recalled everything from last night, and her cheeks became flushed.
Hong Ying came in with hot water and saw that Ye Zhen was awake. She couldn't help but smile. "Your Highness, you are awake?"
Ye Zhen put the clothes on the clothes boat next to her. "Where is the Emperor?"
"The Emperor and the Sixth Wangye are talking." Hong Ying said with a smile. "This servant will help you comb your hair."
"Is the Sixth Wangye going to Anhe City with us?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. Since Mo Rongzhan appeared, Murong Ke had been avoiding her. Not to mention talking, he didn't even look at her.
Hong Ying knew what Murong Ke was thinking. At that time, when he was unconscious, he kept muttering the empress' name. Deep in her heart, she pitied and pitied Murong Ke. Such a good Pavilion Master, falling in love with the empress was a very sad thing.
"Replying Your Highness, this servant isn't sure either," Hong Ying replied in a small voice.
Ye Zhen sighed softly, washed up, and was about to sit down for breakfast when Mo Rongzhan strode in from outside. With a warm smile on his handsome face, he sat down beside Ye Zhen. "You're up. Did you sleep well?" "Yes.
"Well, I haven't slept so well for a long time." Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Where have you been?"
"I have something to discuss with Ah Ke." Mo Rongzhan gently pinched her cheeks and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. "I won't go to Anhe City. Let Ah Ke fight for me."
Hong Ying and Jianjia retreated in silence.
Mo Rongzhan directly picked up Ye Zhen and sat her on his lap.
"Let the Sixth Wangye fight for you?" Ye Zhen was still surprised and didn't notice that she was already in Mo Rongzhan's arms.
"Well, I will accompany you back to the capital." Mo Rongzhan whispered. "Ah Ke can do it."
Ye Zhen was a little silent. Murong Ke had never cared about politics before. Why was he willing to fight for Mo Rongzhan now? "Ah Zhan … Murong Ke almost died."
"I know." Mo Rongzhan whispered. He knew that Murong Ke did it to save Yao Yao, and he was grateful to him.
"I … I can't repay him. I don't want anything to happen to him." Ye Zhen gently leaned on Mo Rongzhan's shoulder.
Mo Rongzhan understood what Ye Zhen meant. Because there was no way to repay him, he could no longer afford to owe Murong Ke. Everyone knew that Murong Ke had no interest in politics. They all knew who he was willing to fight for this time.
"Then let him escort you back to the capital first?" Mo Rongzhan whispered.
Ye Zhen immediately shook her head. "I want to be with you. I will go wherever you go."
Mo Rongzhan laughed. "How about I shrink you and carry you in my arms all day long?"
"If you really can shrink me and carry me with you, then you can shrink me," Ye Rou said in a muffled voice.
"The capital …" Mo Rongzhan hesitated. "I don't trust the Empress Dowager."
Ye Zhen was startled. She raised her head in surprise. "What's wrong?"
Mo Rongzhan shook his head with a wry smile. "Maybe I'm thinking too much. The Empress Dowager just wants to arrange a marriage for Yi as soon as possible. It's not that she doesn't care about me."
"The Empress Dowager is choosing a princess for Yi in the capital. At this time?" Ye Zhen's voice sank. Her tone was thick with displeasure. The Empress Dowager really did it. Was the Emperor fighting an unpredictable battle at the border for her? If it weren't for guarding the Jin Kingdom, would Mo Rongzhan need to fight on the battlefield?
The Empress Dowager enjoyed glory and wealth in the palace and was not worried at all. She was even in the mood to choose a princess for Mo Rongyi. If she was even a little worried about Mo Rongzhan, she would not do such a thing!
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. "After being refuted by Yi, she probably has no mood to choose anymore."
Even so, it was clear that the Empress Dowager did not care about Mo Rongzhan's life and death at all! Ye Zhen said angrily. "In the Empress Dowager's mind, is it a matter of course that you fight to the death for the Jin Kingdom and the royal family?"
"I spent less time with the Empress Dowager when I was a child. It is normal for her to like Yi more." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
"How can it be normal? She is simply using you to protect them! "Ye Zhen said angrily.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly. "What did you say?"
Ye Zhen covered her mouth with her fingers. She blurted it out on impulse. "I … I didn't say anything."
"Yao Yao, I heard everything." Mo Rongzhan chuckled helplessly. "Do you think I can't hear what you are saying?"
"Qi Ruoshui said that he did not hypnotize the Empress Dowager." Ye Zhen whispered. After all, the Empress Dowager was his mother. She dared not speak too clearly. "A person's nature will become so accustomed to concealing it that even he does not know what his true temperament is."
Mo Rongzhan bowed his head and kissed the corner of her mouth. "Whether it was before or now, only Yao Yao cares about me the most."
Ye Zhen was stunned. "Wait, you knew that the Empress Dowager was biased?"
"How could I not know? I was not a blockhead when I was a child." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't dare to say it for fear that you would be sad." Ye Zhen cried angrily.
Mo Rongzhan smiled but did not say anything. Only she would worry about whether he would be sad or in danger. Just like that year when he was framed and fell into a well, only she would disregard everything to save him. Only he would place her in his heart. However, at that time, he was the one who hurt her the most.
