Ye Zhen resisted the urge to ask for clarification, she glanced at the man and turned back to Qiu Yuan. âIâve bandaged the wounds of the injured people, but I donât have enough medicine, so you can send them some trauma medicine later.â
Qui Yuan glanced at the man. âMaster is waiting for you.â
âI know.â Ye Zhen nodded and looked down at the man again.
The man had lowered his head when Qiu Yuan came over, and it was only when they(YZ & QY) left together that he raised his head, his eyes seething at their departing backs.
âYour Majesty.â A man with the same plain and rough features came to his side, his lowered voice could not hide his excitement. âItâs Yaoyao.â
âHmm.â Mo Rongzhanâs fists were clenched. It was her! He had just fought with all his might to control himself from holding her in his arms.
How could she be here? Who is the master? Where is Huangfu Chen?
Mo Rongzhan had so many questions in his heart, he couldnât wait to go after her and ask her a good question. But now that the iron mine riot was headed in the direction he wanted, he couldnât let anyone discover his identity. At least, he knew she was safe and thatâs enough!
Due to Zhao Tianjiâs threat, everyoneâs indignation was suppressed. No one dared to resist anymore, Qiu Yuan let everyone return to their positions to continue working.
Mo Rongzhan and Tang Zhen, with their heads lowered and a dejected look on their face, lifted the large rock.
Ye Zhen had already walked next to the big sedan chair, she couldnât help but glance back, but her gaze didnât dare to linger on the man just now.
âAre you afraid that I will kill them?â Zhao Tianji asked coldly from the sedan chair.
âKilling them wonât do you any good, would you do such a stupid thing?â Ye Zhen looked back at him, her face not daring to show any excitement.
Zhao Tianji snorted coldly. âCome up and letâs go back.â
Ye Zhen could only lower her head and follow him up to the sedan chair.
âWhat did that man say to you just now?â Zhao Tianji sat calmly and steadily, seemingly asking in a very casual manner.
âWhich person?â Ye Zhen asked with a frown.
Zhao Tianji said indifferently, âWhat did he say to you when you bandaged his wounds?â
âThere were eleven people injured in total, and each of them said a few words to me, which one do you want to hear?â Ye Zhen pouted her lips and glared at him impatiently.
âHmph!â Zhao Tianji felt as if he was a bit paranoid. He thought that the man with the injured arm knew her, perhaps he just found her good looking so took a few extra glances. âI can still suppress them even if I donât have to kill them.â
Ye Zhen smiled lightly. âFortunately, you are not the ruler of a country, otherwise you would definitely be a tyrant.â
Zhao Tianjiâs eyes flickered slightly. âWhy canât I be the ruler of a country?â
âIf you were the emperor, you would kill any minister who defies your will. And the people not to your liking, youâd threaten their lives and the lives of their relatives? Arenât you a tyrant?â Ye Zhen asked rhetorically.
âI can also be a benevolent ruler,â Zhao Tianji said.
Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow. âDo you really want to be an emperor?â
Zhao Tianji didnât answer her, the sedan chair kept going towards the lake, and after getting into the boat, Zhao Tianji told everyone else to follow behind in the small boat.
âDid Huangfu Chen really not tell you about his previous affairs?â Zhao Tianji sat behind the tea table on the boat, someone had already made tea and he was slowly sipping a cup.
Ye Zhen was full of thoughts about the man who might be Mo Rongzhan. When she heard Zhao Tianji mention Huangfu Chenâs past, her eyes lit up slightly and she sat down across him. âNot everyone has the courage to bring up the sad things from the past, do you know what happened to my master in the past?â
Zhao Tianji lowered his head and drank his tea. He had overheard her conversation with Mu Xue before and believed she didnât know anything. Why didnât Huangfu Chen say anything?He was under house arrest, and Lu Yaoyao went to see him every day. Did he really not say anything?
âHave you wronged my master before?â Ye Zhen suddenly asked.
âWhy am I the one who has wronged him and not he who has wronged me?â Zhao Tianji retorted coldly.
Ye Zhen laughed. âBecause my master just seems to be affectionate and righteous, and you just seem to be heartless and unrighteous. So if I were to say who owes whom, it would be you who owes my masterâ
Zhao Tianjiâs originally carefree mood was sparked. He coldly looked at Ye Zhen. âI want to throw you into the lake.â
âIf I drown youâll be an invalid for the rest of your life,â Ye Zhen replied nonchalantly.
If Huangfu Chen didnât feel indebted to me, how could he be willing to be put under house arrest by me?â Zhao Tianjiâs heart was itching with hatred, and when his legs were healed, he would definitely make her suffer.
Ye Zhen said dismissively, âEven if it were me, I would not resist till Iâm completely sure. Even if my master is unwilling, can he still take us away from here? As I have already said, my Master is a man of great affection and righteousness, and will not leave us behind.â
Zhao Tianji was blocked again, his anger rose. âIf it werenât for him, how could I have become what I am now? He was willing to be put under house arrest by me because of guilt.â
âLiar! Didnât my master treat you in the first place? You have been practicing this internal skill for a long time, so what does it have to do with him?â Ye Zhen immediately yelled back.
Island Lord looked at the little girl coldly. âBack then, in order to help him and Mu Qing, I had to practice this internal skill. I almost broke off my brotherly relationship with my eldest brother because of him, and he has not returned to the island for several years. He is good, he has disappeared for several years, but now he is bringing along an exquisite* apprentice everywhere, should he not die?â
[*ćŠè±äŒŒç rĂș huÄ sĂŹ yĂč: delicate as a flower, refined as a precious jade (idiom); (of a woman) exquisite]
Ye Zhen slapped the table hard. âNonsense! My master does not know the whereabouts of Mu Qing, all these years he has been looking for her. He still does not know that Mu Qing married your eldest brother. If he did, who know how sad he would be. If you want to blame my master, you should first find out what wrong my master did.â
Zhao Tianjiâs face finally changed. âWhat are you talking about?â
âIn order to find Mu Qing, my master did not stay in the capital at all these past few years, and it was only later when he was seriously injured that he had to hide and heal his wounds,â Ye Zhen said.
âNo, itâs impossible!â Zhao Tianji shook his head. âYour master canât be unaware, how could he not know that Mu Qing married my eldest brother? It was clearly he⊠It was clearly he who failed Mu Qing and she had to marry my eldest brother! â
Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Tianji with clear eyes. âIt seems that your misunderstanding is not small. â
âHuangfu Chen really doesnât know⊠Mu Qing has become my sister-in-law? Didnât he let Mu Qing forget him, or did he let her marry my eldest brother?â Zhao Tianji murmured in a low voice.
âNo,â Ye Zhen replied with certainty. âIf my master knew, why would he have been looking for her all these years?â
