406. Chapter 406 Asking for an Audience

The news that Ye Yaoyao was injured spread, and many people looked at Ye Zhen with suspicion.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world? It was revealed that Ye Yaoyao's horoscope was more suitable for the emperor than Lu Yaoyao. Something happened to Ye Yaoyao immediately. Besides Lu Yaoyao, who would do such a thing.

It happened that the only maid around Ye Zhen who knew martial arts was injured.

"Can you see who hurt you?" Ye Zhen bandaged Hongying's wound, her face as gloomy as water. She just asked Hongying to go to Qianjin Travel, but she didn't expect that something happened on the way back.

Hongying whispered, "I didn't see clearly, but judging from the figure, she should be a woman."

"Woman?" Ye Zhen's eyes darkened, "Who do you think it could be?"

"My servant has fought against Leng Mei, who is next to Lu Lingzhi, and she is very skilled," Hongying said.

"Really?" Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly. If Leng Mei hurt Hongying, it would prove that all the previous rumors were related to Lu Lingzhi, "Do you think that woman's figure looks like Leng Mei?"

Hongying nodded gently, "Like."

"Then I understand, Leng Mei went to find Ye Yaoyao after hurting you." Ye Zhen sneered, was this Lu Lingzhi's plan? After injuring Ye Yaoyao and putting the blame on her, is there any point in doing so?

"Princess, it was my slave who caused trouble for you." Hongying said guiltily.

Ye Zhen said, "What does this have to do with you? Others want to frame me, and you are just being used. Don't worry, this matter may not be as easy as those people think."

Hongying sighed, "Girl, but people outside are saying it's you..."

"Others can say whatever they like." Ye Zhen said calmly, obviously not taking this matter to heart, "Take good care of yourself."

"Princess..." Hongying bit her lip and looked at Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen smiled and said, "From now on, you call me girl, and don't call me princess anymore."

She is no longer a princess, the Queen Mother has decreed that she should be removed from the title of princess and made her the Princess of Fengyang.

"Yes, girl." Hongying responded with a smile.

"Princess, Marquis Jingning wants to see you." Yu Ping walked in from outside the house and said to Ye Zhen in a low voice.

Ye Zhen nodded lightly. Tang Zhen came to see her yesterday and told her about Ye Yaoyao's injury and what the assassin said before leaving.

"Please invite Marquis Jingning to the teahouse." Ye Zhen said, "I'll go right away."

Not sure if there was any new development in the matter, Ye Zhen washed her hands, tidied up a little and went to see Tang Zhen.

"Yaoyao." Tang Zhen stood up immediately when he saw her, his face a little gloomy.

"Brother Tang, did something happen?" Seeing his expression, Ye Zhen guessed that something might have been said to her outside today.

Tang Zhen said in a deep voice, "Today, another minister has reported that the matter of Ye Yaoyao's injury will be strictly investigated, and your maid will be put in prison for interrogation."

Ye Zhen sneered when she heard this, "Is the person who made this request not very clear-headed? He wants to arrest my maid without any evidence?"

"It's just a coincidence that your maid was injured... and it was a knife wound. It happened that the secret guard injured the assassin with a knife." Tang Zhen said in a low voice.

"Is this the so-called evidence?" Ye Zhen asked coldly, "My maid was framed and I didn't investigate, but instead I suspected her?"

Tang Zhen quickly explained, "Yaoyao, that's not what I meant. The Emperor must believe you. I came to you today just to warn you that someone may use this matter to hurt you."

In order to prevent Mo Rongzhan from making her the queen, those people really tried their best to turn her into a vicious and jealous snake and scorpion.

"Brother Tang, if you believe me, send someone to find Leng Mei. She must be seriously injured now." Ye Zhen said lightly.

Tang Zhen was shocked when he heard this, "Yaoyao, which Lengmei are you talking about?"

"How many other Leng Meis do you know?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.

"She...she is your eldest brother and a subordinate. She should be on her way to the border town a long time ago." Tang Zhen couldn't believe that this matter was related to Leng Mei. He remembered that Leng Mei was an absolutely loyal person. She would do anything. It was all for Lu Lingzhi. Without Lu Lingzhi's order, how could she hurt Ye Yaoyao.

A sneer appeared on Ye Zhen's pink lips, "How did you know she went to the border town? What if she is still here?"

Tang Zhen was shocked. If Leng Mei was still in Kyoto, then... what about Lu Lingzhi?

"Brother Tang, I advise you to find someone quickly. If Leng Mei is really seriously injured, she should not be far away from Kyoto." Ye Zhen said.

"I'll go right away." Tang Zhen nodded solemnly. He strode outside and looked back at Ye Zhen, "Yaoyao, your elder brother...did you tell you anything before leaving Kyoto?"

Ye Zhen shook her head lightly, "No."

Tang Zhen didn't know if it was his imagination. He felt that Lu Lingzhi was very different recently from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

"Yaoyao, I'll take my leave now," Tang Zhen said.

Not long after Tang Zhen left, Ye Zhen originally planned to go to the palace, but she didn't expect that the porter's boy came to send a message, saying that a girl named Ye was looking for her.

A girl named Ye? Ye Zhen knew who it was without even thinking about it.

Ye Yaoyao came to see her injured.

"Yuping, go back to Ye Yaoyao and ask her to go home and recuperate. Don't wander around, lest the wound worsens again." Ye Zhen didn't want to see Ye Yaoyao. Although the recent events may not have anything to do with her, she still wanted to Avoid suspicion to avoid being spread even more.

"Yes, girl." Yu Ping nodded softly. She was also a little resentful of Ye Yaoyao. When she was at Chengde Villa, she still thought this girl was gentle and lovely, but her life experience was a bit pitiful. She was an orphan with no relatives. Now she sees Come on, it’s nothing more than that.

Maybe when she was at the villa, she was just pretending to be soft and gentle, but now that she knew that the girl was the emperor's sweetheart, her true colors were immediately revealed.

Ye Yaoyao, who endured the pain and came to Lu's house, didn't expect not to see Lu Yaoyao. She wanted to explain today that this matter had nothing to do with her. Why did Lu Yaoyao refuse to see her?

"Yuping, I have something important to tell the princess. Can you please go and tell her?" Ye Yaoyao's face turned pale. She really wanted to see Lu Yaoyao.

She felt as if she had done something wrong. Since she was injured, the Queen Mother had not even sent anyone to see her, and seemed to have forgotten her existence. She felt very scared, fearing that even the Queen Mother would not like her.

"Miss Ye, you are so seriously injured, you should go back and rest. Besides, what is being said outside is not so beneficial to our girl. In order to avoid misunderstandings, it is not convenient for our girl to see you at this time." Yu Ping He said with a smile.

"I believe it's not her, that's why I came to find her." Ye Yaoyao said with a pale face.
