If she had not been trapped in the palace for two years, perhaps the knot in her heart would not have been so heavy. But in those two years, she saw with her own eyes how Lu Wushuang used her identity to get Mo Rongzhan's favor. She deeply remembered how Lu Wushuang ridiculed her for her stupidity and infatuation behind her back. The feeling of being forced to know all this was too painful. She forgave Mo Rongzhan and fell in love with him again, but it did not mean that she could let go of her hatred for Lu Lingzhi and his sister.
Mo Rongzhan carried Ye Zhen out of the bathtub, wiped her body, and put on her clothes. The girl said she did not mind, but in fact, she was still affected. He was afraid that she would think of him as a bastard, so even the movement of putting on clothes became cautious.
"It is a well-known fact that the emperor of the Kingdom of Qi loves beauty. Lu Wushuang was just favored for a while. You don't have to worry about her." Mo Rongzhan tied her skirt and casually put on his trousers. Then, he took her hand and walked out of the screen.
Jian Jia had just prepared dinner. When she saw them coming out, she bowed her head and silently retreated.
"The emperor of the Kingdom of Qi is a beauty?" Ye Zhen's attention was diverted. "How come I heard that the emperor of the Kingdom of Qi, Zhao Yong, is wise and respected? I have never heard anyone say that he is a muddleheaded ruler."
If Zhao Yong was muddleheaded and lustful, how could the Kingdom of Qi be as strong as it is today?
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly and said, "Being fond of beauty doesn't necessarily mean that he is muddle-headed and incompetent. He is indeed wise and powerful and loves to fight, but he just likes beauty. Most of the people in his palace are young and beautiful concubines. He doesn't have many children, but he has many women."
"… This is the first time I have heard that the emperor of the Kingdom of Qi has such a hobby." She had only heard of this young emperor from others before. If there was anyone in the world who was more invincible than Mo Rongzhan, it was probably Zhao Yong.
An emperor who was less than 40 years old but had made the Kingdom of Qi incomparably powerful. She thought that he should be a serious and rigorous person. She did not expect that he was lustful.
"I've only met him once. I know that he likes beauties and is tolerant of women in some aspects, but he is not a muddle-headed person. It is impossible for Lu Wushuang to use him to do evil. Zhao Yong's tolerance for women is not that great." Mo Rongzhan said calmly, "Alright, let's not talk about this unimportant person. Let's eat."
Although Ye Zhen was curious about Zhao Yong, he was a distant person after all. It was useless to know too much. "You can't learn from him."
In many ways, Mo Rongzhan and Zhao Yong were very similar people. They were both decisive and wise Emperors. The Jin Kingdom was on the path of becoming stronger, and perhaps in the future, it would become even more powerful than the Qi Kingdom. She did not want Mo Rongzhan to be too similar to Zhao Yong.
"Learning from him to love beauty?" A smile flashed across Mo Rongzhan's eyes. "My Empress is already the most beautiful woman in the world. Which woman can move my heart?"
Ye Rou glared at him. "Even the most beautiful woman in the world will grow old."
"Don't speak as if I am not old." Mo Rongzhan kissed her cheek. "There is fish soup here. Drink more."
"Okay." Ye Zhen smiled, leaving the matter of Lu Wushuang behind.
…
…
Mo Rongzhan and the others only planned to stay at the station for one night and then leave. Moreover, they concealed their identities, so they did not care much about the attitude of the people at the station. However, this did not mean that Mo Rongzhan would allow someone to make knocking sounds around the station before dawn.
Ye Zhen rarely had a dreamless night, but she was still woken up by the noise outside.
"What's going on outside?" Mo Rongzhan rubbed her head. "It's okay. You sleep for a while, and soon it will be quiet."
Shen Yi and the others should soon quiet the noise.
Sure enough, after a while, there was no sound outside.
Ye Zhen shrank back into the quilt, leaned against Mo Rongzhan's chest, and soon fell asleep again.
Mo Rongzhan waited for her to fall asleep before quietly getting up.
Eunuch Fu had been guarding outside the door. When he heard the sound, he immediately opened the door gently and helped Mo Rongzhan put on his clothes. In order not to wake up the Empress, he did not say a word. It was not until he walked out of the room that he whispered to Mo Rongzhan, "Your Majesty, the people of Weicheng are making a scene outside. Some people even want to tear down this station."
"Unruly people?" Mo Rongzhan frowned. The people of Weicheng were so bold that they dared to tear down the place of the imperial court.
"Lord Shen has arrested those people and is interrogating them. It seems that they are looking for the Deputy Minister." Eunuch Fu said.
Mo Rongzhan asked, "Who is the Deputy Minister of Weicheng?"
Eunuch Fu replied, "I heard that his surname is Qiu."
Qiu? Mo Rongzhan's expression turned cold. There were many people with the surname Qiu in Weicheng, but he felt that this Deputy Minister was most likely related to the Empress Dowager's maiden family.
While he was guessing, Shen Yi came from the other side and bowed to Mo Rongzhan. "Your Majesty."
"Have those people left?" Mo Rongzhan asked coldly.
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, those people haven't left yet. They must see the Deputy Minister. Otherwise, they won't leave even if they die, because they are the people of Weicheng …"
"What about the Deputy Minister of the station?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a gloomy expression.
"Your Majesty, we haven't seen the Deputy Minister since we moved in yesterday. The person who received us was only an assistant," Eunuch Fu said.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes flashed with anger when he heard this. His whole body emitted a cold aura. "Why are those people looking for the Deputy Minister?"
Shen Yi said, "I heard that a young master from the Qiu Family killed more than one of their girls. After killing them, that Young Master Qiu left Weicheng District for the capital. Those people have banded together to seek justice from the Deputy Minister. I heard that the Deputy Minister is a relative of the Qiu Family …"
Hearing this, it wasn't hard for Mo Rongzhan to guess who that Young Master Qiu was. "Go and find the Deputy Minister for me. Fu De, go and find out what exactly happened."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yi and Eunuch Fu acknowledged and quickly split up to do their own things. One went to look for the relay station official, while the other went to look for a commoner to clarify things.
Eunuch Fu quickly found out what had happened.
It turned out that the Qiu Family was the biggest Marquis's mansion in the City of Wei. Although it was just a name, the Qiu Family was the Empress's maiden family, so no one dared to offend them in the City of Wei. The only son of the Qiu Family, Young Master Qiu, was dissolute and liked to hook up with girls everywhere. When he fell in love with a girl, he would ask for her hand in marriage. When he was tired of playing with her, he would find an excuse to abandon her. Many girls in the City of Wei were fooled by him. Three months ago, Young Master Qiu's old habits sprouted again. As a result, the girl committed suicide for her innocence. Her family wanted to seek justice from Young Master Qiu. It just so happened that there were girls from several families who joined forces because of Young Master Qiu's accident. However, the Qiu Family moved away.
Shen Yi also brought Qiu Yaozu back.
