Coming out of the Palace of Compassion, Murongzhan took Eunuch Fu back to Qianqing Palace, and after a while, Aunt Cheng came.
"The queen mother is resting?" Murongzhan asked Aunt Cheng to rest and gave her a seat.
"The maidservant didn't come here until the Queen Mother fell asleep." Aunt Cheng said with her head down.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "Is Ye Yaoyao really dead?"
Aunt Cheng replied in a low voice, "Return to Your Majesty, this servant only saw nobleman Yao vomit blood and fainted in the Palace of Compassionate Ning that day, so the Empress Dowager ordered her to be sent out of the palace. The news of her death came within a few days, and this servant did not see Yao with her own eyes. The nobleman has lost her breath, so it is difficult to determine whether she has really passed away."
"So, no one knows whether Ye Yaoyao is dead or not." Mo Rongzhan's eyes were cold. Although he sent someone to keep an eye on Ye Yaoyao, he didn't know where the Queen Mother sent her. Obviously, the Queen Mother didn't want her No one knew Ye Yaoyao's whereabouts.
Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly, he couldn't figure out how the Queen Mother was being courted by Ye Yaoyao, why she was so nice to her all of a sudden.
"Is there anything unusual about the Queen Mother in the past few days?" Murong Zhan asked in a low voice.
Aunt Cheng said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been the same for the past few days as usual, but today I heard that the Emperor is back and wants to go to Huguo Temple to fulfill his vows. I knew earlier that His Majesty's imperial conquest came, and the Empress Dowager went to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings. The Emperor came back with great victory. The Empress Dowager said that she is going to fulfill her wish."
Will the Queen Mother save Ye Yaoyao? Mo Rongzhan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, Ye Yaoyao should not be alive, she is poisoned...
"Aunt Cheng, you should go back first. If the queen mother goes to Huguo Temple, you have to serve her all the way." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice.
After sending Aunt Cheng away, Mo Rongzhan called Shen Yi over, "Go and check if Ye Yaoyao is really dead, and check the maid beside her too."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yi responded immediately.
"Your Majesty, it's impossible for noble Yao to still be alive." Eunuch Fu asked cautiously, how could he still be alive after being fed such poison, and he's not a god, so it's possible that there are really some gods and men in this world.
Mo Rongzhan said softly, "Everything happens in case."
Hearing that Ye Zhen explained the hypnosis, Mo Rongzhan felt that Ye Yaoyao was not a simple person, and he worried that the Queen Mother had been completely influenced by this woman.
Eunuch Fu bowed his head and said, "Slaves will make people watch more."
Mo Rongzhan walked into the bedroom, "Yes."
Looking at the empty dormitory, remembering that he slept with Wenxiang nephrite in his arms last night, but today he is the only son, thinking about it, he still feels a little lonely.
"Your Majesty, are you going to bed?" Eunuch Fu untied Mo Rongzhan's belt.
"Take a break." He wanted to see Ye Zhen, but he only left in the morning, so he couldn't go to her right away.
Eunuch Fu couldn't understand what he was thinking, so he held back a smile and helped Mo Rongzhan change his clothes.
On the other side of the capital, Lu's house was still brightly lit.
Mrs. Pei cooked the dinner herself, and the whole family talked together for a long time after the meal, until the moon was in the sky outside, they finally broke up.
Lying on the bed, Ye Zhen thought of Mo Rongzhan in her heart.
It's as if... I'm used to having him by my side, it's hard to sleep without his warmth.
…
…
The next day, Ye Zhen didn't immediately go to the palace to greet the Queen Mother. After returning home, she thought about it carefully. It couldn't be that Murong Zhan had just returned to the palace. She immediately went to the palace to greet the Queen Mother the next day. suspicious.
She stayed comfortably at home for another two or three days, until Murong Zhan asked Xue Lin to remind her that she went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.
Although it wasn't a long time away, Ye Zhen was a little afraid to meet the Queen Mother because the last meeting was not pleasant.
In the past, the queen mother treated her like a daughter, but now... I'm afraid it's impossible.
The Queen Mother only knew that Lu Yaoyao had returned to the capital yesterday. She knew that with the return of the emperor, Lu Yaoyao would return to the capital sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Show her in." The queen mother whispered, with a complicated expression.
She used to like Lu Yaoyao very much, but now she doesn't know why, and some don't want to see her.
"Queen, Princess Yaoyao is here." Aunt Cheng whispered beside the queen.
The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and looked over, only to see a slender figure walking into the hall with the light behind her back. She didn't see Lu Yaoyao's appearance clearly until she walked in front of her to salute. She hadn't seen her for a year. This little girl It actually looks better.
No wonder the emperor only saw her in his eyes.
"My daughter has met the empress dowager." Ye Zhen didn't dare to call the empress dowager mother, she bowed her head and felt a little nervous.
The Empress Dowager looked at her for a while, thinking of her love for her before, she felt a little sore in her heart, "Get up."
Ye Zhen thanked her in a low voice, stood up and looked at the queen hesitantly.
"When did you come back?" the Queen Mother asked quietly.
"Go back to the Empress Dowager, the minister came back two days ago." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
The queen mother looked at her timid look, and said angrily, "Does Aijia look terrible? You dare not look at Aijia?"
Ye Zhen glanced cautiously, "I'm afraid you don't want to see me, Queen Mother."
"The Ai family doesn't want to see you, so why don't you enter the palace?" The queen mother asked, she didn't want to see Lu Yaoyao, but now that she saw someone, she missed the old days.
She almost forgot that if it wasn't for Lu Yaoyao, she might have lost a son.
Ye Zhen said, "Of course not, actually I miss the Queen Mother very much."
The queen mother shook her head in her heart, thinking that she would be her daughter-in-law in the future, if she really got stuck, it would make it even more difficult for the emperor, "Sit down and talk with Ai's family."
"Yes, empress dowager." Ye Zhen was actually a little sad in her heart, although she kept telling herself that it was normal for the empress dowager to treat her as badly as before, but after experiencing it, it was still unavoidable to be sad.
Although the queen mother did not show any dislike for her, the intimacy between them has disappeared, and now the queen mother is really strange to her.
"How did you go this year when you went to Wangducheng?" The queen mother held the tea bowl in her hand and slowly scraped the lid of the tea.
Ye Zhen replied cautiously, "It's all good to go back to your mother, but I just miss Kyoto a little bit."
"The Ai family thought that you would miss you when you went to the capital city, but I didn't expect you to miss the capital." The Queen Mother smiled, "Master Ye actually agreed with you to go back to the capital, which is really beyond the Ai family's expectations."
"I have my daughter's biological father and elder brother in the capital city, and there are my daughter's family members in Kyoto, so my daughter naturally misses me." Ye Zhen said with her head lowered.
The queen mother glanced at her, "The Ai family heard that the capital city of the king was almost captured. Were you in the city at that time?"
"Yes, but it was a near miss, which made the Queen Mother worry." Ye Zhen whispered.
