Ye Zhen just slept in the carriage for most of the day, and she was still in good spirits at this moment, when she heard that Zhao Ning was looking for Lin Zhiran to inquire about her affairs, she raised her eyebrows lightly, "Zhao Ning inquires about Bengong's affairs?"
"I said I wanted to know your preferences, but it seems that I was just trying to please you." Jian Jia said.
"Why is she trying to please me?" Ye Zhen chuckled, Zhao Ning is a proud person, this can be seen in Huajia Village, she should be able to see that she is not popular, except last time Wanting to send grilled fish to Ye Zhen, she didn't come along along the way, because she didn't want to make fun of herself.
Hongying said, "Your Majesty, this servant is so eager to please you because she is about to arrive in the capital, a little fisher girl, she really acts like a rich lady, thinking that everyone has to support her. "
Ye Zhen thought, Zhao Ning is really a daughter, but a princess.
"After all, she saved the emperor, so don't make it too obvious in front of her. She doesn't live in the palace when she returns to the capital, so it has nothing to do with us." Ye Zhen said lightly, she didn't want Hongying to leave her behind. Zhao Ning offended her so badly. In the future, when Zhao Ning regains her identity, she will inevitably hate her maid.
Hongying curled her lips and said, "This servant just thinks that she looks full of heart."
Zhao Ning is indeed a thoughtful person, but if it wasn't for her, Murong Zhan would not know if he is still alive now.
Thinking of it this way, Ye Zhen didn't feel as disgusted with Zhao Ning as before.
Everyone has their own way of life. As long as Zhao Ning doesn't affect her, she doesn't care what kind of person Zhao Ning is. Regarding Mo Rongzhan, she has her own bottom line. This is her man. Any woman, even if she has No matter how great the kindness is, she will never give up an inch.
"She has a lot of thoughts, so just be on guard." Ye Zhen explained, "I slept a little too much today. I just saw a field nearby. You can follow me for a walk."
"Ma'am, it's getting dark soon." Hongying said, this place is remote, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk in the dark.
Ye Zhen said, "Take the lantern, it's not too long to go for a walk, just exercise your muscles and bones and come back."
Jian Jia went over to recomb her hair and put on a tulle dress with wide sleeves, "The wind today is full of heat, so it will be better at this time."
"Let's go." Ye Zhen said with a smile, her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the spiritual spring is not as inexhaustible as before, so she no longer uses the spiritual spring to soak her body every day, at most she drinks a cup of spiritual spring every day Tea, in order to make childbirth easier in the future, she still needs to walk more.
There was a field near the inn, and there were a few tenant farmers in the field. Ye Hao didn't go too far, and walked slowly around.
"It's so refreshing." Ye Zhen took a deep breath, and it was really good to go out for a walk, she felt that she had been lazy in the bones of her whole body in the past two days.
"Your Majesty, look, this fruit is so pleasing to look at." Hongying said, pointing to the clusters of small red fruits in the field.
Ye Zhen glanced at it and said with a smile, "This is the holy maiden fruit, or it was introduced to our Central Plains in the previous dynasty, Hongying, you can go to those tenant farmers and ask if this holy maiden fruit is for sale? Let's pick some and go back to eat." .”
"How should I eat this fruit?" Jian Jia asked curiously.
"You can eat it after washing it." Ye Zhen smiled, seeing that Hongying had already gone to ask the tenant farmers.
"Mother, those tenant farmers said that this is a wild fruit, and they think that the bright color may be poisonous, so let's not eat it indiscriminately." Hongying came back and said to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen smiled lightly, "Pick some back, these cherry tomatoes won't be poisonous."
When Hongying heard what Ye Zhen said, she smiled and said yes, and picked a lot of cherry tomatoes.
"Your Majesty!" Jian Jia suddenly sensed something was wrong, she protected Ye Zhen behind her, and looked around carefully.
Sure enough, she saw figures floating in the field, and those people seemed to be ill-intentioned.
Hongying also noticed the surrounding situation, put the holy maiden fruit on the ground, and came to Ye Zhen's side.
Because it was near the inn, and there was only a small village and fields around, they didn't think much about it when they came out, and they didn't even bring the guards with them. Who would have thought that someone would be ambushing here.
"Hongying, escort the empress back to the inn." Jian Jia said in a low voice, but fortunately they were not far away, only a short distance from the inn.
"Be careful!" Hongying said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen's face was condensed, she knew very well who would want to kill her at this time, they have already arrived at the foot of the capital, the general manager is easy to be found, the queen mother really can't tolerate her, she doesn't want to kill her Let her go back with Murong Zhan's child.
The men in black in the field found that their tracks were exposed, so they didn't intend to hide anymore, and appeared in Ye Zhen's sight with knives in hand.
There were eight people in total, and everyone was covered. They were all dressed in black, except for a red spider embroidered on their chest, which looked very conspicuous.
"Kill!" One of them ordered, and everyone shot at Ye Zhen with murderous intent in their eyes.
Just as they flew out of the field, a row of sharp arrows flew over from a short distance, killing four of the men in black on the spot, and the other four turned their heads in shock. What's going on
Ye Zhen suddenly turned her head to look, it was Murong Zhan and Murong Ke who came.
"Ah Zhan!" Ye Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Are you all right?" Mo Rongzhan had already quickly come to Ye Zhen's side, and he was relieved to see that she was well.
"I'm fine." Ye Zhen shook her head lightly, "Who are those people?"
Mo Rongzhan looked coldly at the man in black who was fighting with Wu Chong and the others, "Just like Qian Luocha, they are called Thousand-handed Spiders, and they are all in the business of killing people in the rivers and lakes."
Ye Zhen grabbed his sleeve tightly, "Is it sent by the Queen Mother?"
"Even if it wasn't her, it was her order." Murong Zhan said coldly, "I will go back to the inn with you first."
"It's a good thing you showed up, otherwise..." Ye Zhen didn't even dare to think about the consequences, Jian Jia and Hongying are definitely not the opponents of those people.
Murong Zhan didn't dare to think about the consequences even more, he held Ye Zhen's hand tightly, "I'm not allowed to go out alone anymore, let me go with you wherever I go."
"Okay." Ye Zhen's hand was painfully held by him, and she knew that he was also worried about her, "How do you know someone is going to kill us?"
"Zhao Ning came to tell me." Murong Zhan said in a low voice. He and Murong Ke were talking in the room. He didn't know that Ye Zhen had gone out. It was Zhao Ning who came to her suddenly and said that he saw the empress in the field. On the side path, there seemed to be someone in an ambush in the field.
Ye Zhen froze for a moment, she didn't expect it to be Zhao Ning.
"The Queen Mother knows you are back?" Ye Zhen asked softly.
If the Queen Mother knew that Ah Zhan was still alive, would she still want to make Ah Yi the new emperor
Murong Zhan sneered, "Whether I'm alive or not is not important to her at all."
Ye Zhen felt sad and felt sorry for him more and more, "It is very important to me that you are alive."
