In the palace of the Kingdom of Jin, the shadows of the golden tiles and red walls fell on the glazed ground, and the palace people carrying peony palace lanterns shuttled around every corner. The quiet and silent shadows looked like ghosts.
In the imperial study room, Mo Rongzhan was holding a wooden box in his hand. The box was already broken. He stared at the pieces of cloth inside with a gloomy and indifferent expression. His eyes were deep and cold, and it was hard to see what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, Shen Yi seeks an audience." Ford whispered outside.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly, "Let him in."
Shen Yi, who was dressed in a black dress, came in from the outside. He was the hidden guard next to Murong Zhan, and Murong Zhan usually left it to the dark guard to do things that couldn't come to the surface.
"Your Majesty." Shen Yi knelt down on one knee in front of Murong Zhan, with no superfluous expression on his strong and cold face.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Get up, have you found it?"
Shen Yi handed a piece of cloth to Mo Rongzhan with both hands, and replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have found out that this is the brocade of flowing water that was tributed in the south of the Yangtze River in the 25th year of Emperor Gaozong. Except for the concubines in the palace, only A few families are rewarded."
"Which people have been rewarded?" Mo Rongzhan's voice could not hear any change, it was still cold and flat.
"Except for the eldest princess's mansion, there is only... the Ye family." Shen Yi hesitated for a moment before saying.
Ye family? A strange look flashed in Mo Rongzhan's eyes, he looked down at the rag, the little girl said her name was Yaoyao, there was a word Yaoyao on it, is it her
Who is she
If this rag was left by her, then what happened to Lu Shuang'er? It is impossible for Lu Shuang'er to get this brocade. Is she the little girl who saved him back then
Mo Rongzhan once again had doubts in his heart.
"Has anyone been to that forest before me?" Murong Zhan asked in a low voice.
Shen Yi replied, "My subordinate went to the woods to look. Apart from the road that the emperor walks, there is another path in the woods. Someone did pass by at that time, but I haven't found out who it is yet."
"In any case, we must find out who has been in the woods." Murong Zhan's voice turned cold, maybe this person dug out the box, who is that
Is it Yaoyao? If it was her, why didn't she come to him? She has his jade pendant in her hand... Mo Rongzhan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the jade pendant was in Lu Shuang'er's hand!
If Yaoyao was the little girl who saved him back then, how could Lu Shuang'er have the jade pendant? How could she know what happened back then
Mo Rongzhan didn't think that the person who saved him back then would have anything to do with the Ye family, so when he knew that the Ye family also had this brocade, he had automatically ruled out the possibility of the Ye family. He was trapped in the dry well at the beginning because of the Ye family. Many people designed to frame him, and they tried to trap him to death again and again, how could they save him
Shen Yi took the order to leave the imperial study, and Mo Rongzhan sat alone behind the desk and meditated. Not long after, the voice of the imperial concubine begging to see him came from outside.
Mo Rongzhan put away all the rags in the wooden box, and then let Lu Shuang'er in.
"The concubine has seen the emperor." Lu Shuang'er walked into the imperial study with a smile, bowed her knees and saluted, and said coquettishly, "Your majesty, you still said that you are going to have dinner with the concubine today, but you are so busy that you don't even have dinner. Eat it."
"I forgot." Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly, and stretched out his hand to hold Lu Shuang'er's hand, "I need the imperial concubine to remind me."
With a gentle smile on Lu Shuang'er's beautiful and plump face, "The concubine personally cooked some snacks that the emperor likes to eat. It's good for the emperor to try."
Mo Rongzhan nodded with a smile, and sniffed lightly at her temples. Lu Shuang'er's body has always been covered with the scent of rouge, and it is no longer the sweet fruity scent of when she was a child.
"Your Majesty." Lu Shuang'er thought that Murong Zhan wanted to make out, so she called out coquettishly, "How about eating first?"
Mo Rongzhan smiled lightly, and let go of Lu Shuang'er's hand naturally. He has never paid much attention to food, and what he can remember in his life is the sour and sweet cherry-flavored pastry that Yaoyao gave him that year.
"Concubine, did you have a nickname before?" Mo Rongzhan asked Lu Shuang'er in a low voice.
Lu Shuang'er smiled and said, "The family used to be called Chenqie Shuang'er, Your Majesty, you used to be called Chenqie Shuang'er too."
twin...
Yaoyao said that her nickname is Yaoyao.
Lu Shuang'er is not the little girl in the woods back then! It was the first time that Mo Rongzhan made it clear that he had admitted the wrong person, but what happened to that jade pendant
Murong Zhanshi ate something without taste, and asked Ford to come in and remove everything.
"Your Majesty, is it because the concubine did not suit my taste?" Lu Shuang'er asked in a low voice. Although in the eyes of many people, Lu Shuang'er was already the only favorite in the harem, but only she knew that she did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Murong Zhan. The man... is not as easy to get along with as he looks on the surface, even a little moody. He treats her well only because she has been by his side for many years, and he thinks she is the savior back then.
"No, it's just that the border is uneven, and I'm a little worried." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "It's getting late, I'll take you back."
Lu Shuang'er's eyes lit up with joy, "Okay."
Back at Kunning Palace, Mo Rongzhan didn't let the maid come in to change his clothes. After sitting with Lu Shuang'er for a while, he said casually, "Is the jade pendant I gave you still there? Last time I looked at the tassel It’s a bit outdated, let’s have someone do it again.”
"The concubine is afraid of damaging the jade pendant, so she has already put it away." Lu Shuang'er paused in her heart, why did the emperor suddenly ask about the jade pendant, "Your majesty, the concubine is going to get it."
Mo Rongzhan nodded, "Yes."
Lu Shuang'er got up full of doubts and went to the cabinet to take out a brocade box. Does the emperor know something? No, it's impossible! Everyone in the Ye family is dead, except for her and her eldest brother, no one in this world knows that this jade pendant was taken from Ye Zhen.
"Ah..." When Lu Shuang'er opened the brocade box, she cried out in fright.
Mo Rongzhan immediately got up and walked over, "What's going on?"
"This... this..." Lu Shuang'er looked at the jade pendant in the brocade box in astonishment, "The concubine was fine when I put it in, but it will become like this at some point."
The phoenix jade pendant cracked at some point, and the phoenix bird was broken into pieces. Only the phoenix is still in good condition, and the phoenix without the phoenix looks very lonely.
Mo Rongzhan pursed his lips, and brought the brocade box over, "I'll send someone to see if I can..."
How else to fix it? It's all broken into pieces. Is it because he recognized the wrong person, so the jade pendant also shattered
"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty of not protecting Yupei well." Lu Shuang'er knelt down, lowered her head and said guiltily.
But she was inexplicably happy in her heart, this jade pendant was the last link between Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen, now even the jade pendant was destroyed, Ye Zhen's shadow finally disappeared completely.
With her by Mo Rongzhan's side, sooner or later he will forget what happened back then.
"You take a break first, I'm going to the imperial study to deal with something." Murong Zhan said in a cold voice, and left with the brocade box.
Lu Shuang'er was left with a look of astonishment.
She is not as good as a jade pendant
