Chapter 1940 Gratitude

Ye Zhen walked into the Qianqing Palace step by step. The furnishings here had not changed at all from four years ago. They were still the same as she was familiar with. There was a man wearing a bright yellow brocade robe sitting behind the desk. In a daze, she seemed to see Mo Mo. Rong Zhan's appearance before.

In some aspects, Murong Ke and Murong Zhan are very similar.

"Yao Yao." Murong Ke stood up, walked down from behind the desk, and looked at Ye Zhen with restrained eyes, "Why are you here?"

There didn't seem to be much change from her memory. Murong Ke still looked handsome and charming as when she first met him. Although he was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe that added a bit of majesty to him, his facial expressions and expressions had not changed.

If they hadn't met before, she might have regrets, but at least...she wouldn't owe him so much.

"I'll take Mingyu back to the palace." Ye Zhen whispered, remembering that Murong Ke was thrown into the well by Qi Ruoshui to feed the poisonous poison in order to save him. He almost died for her and exchanged his life for his life. She will never be able to repay his affection in this life.

Murong Ke whispered, "It seems that you mother and daughter have finally untied their knots."

Ye Zhen shook her head gently, "It's not that easy. Mingyu still refuses to call me mother, but she is willing to send me back. I am already satisfied."

"I'm sorry." Murong Ke apologized, "I have not taught Mingyu well in the past four years."

"It's none of your business. Without you, I don't know what Mingyu would have become. Ah Ke, I'm really grateful to you." Ye Zhen raised her eyes and looked at him seriously, "Thank you for bringing me... My daughter is taken care of so well.”

Murong Ke looked at Ye Zhen for a moment, "I already regard Mingyu as my daughter."

Of course she knows that Murong Ke treats Mingyu as his daughter, and Mingyu now treats him as his father. Neither she nor Murong Zhan will feel uncomfortable about this matter. Mingyu is one more person. It's a good thing to love her.

"Yaoyao, do you have something to tell me?" Murong Ke lowered his eyes and looked at her. He knew Yaoyao and knew that she would not enter the palace if there was something else.

Ye Zhen took a deep breath. She had already thought about how to tell him before she came, but now facing him, she didn't know how to speak.

Murong Ke probably guessed what she was going to say and smiled lightly, "Then don't say it."

"Even if you don't have a queen, you should still accept a concubine, Ah Ke." Ye Zhen whispered.

Did she come to the palace specifically to tell him this?

Murong Ke turned around and said, "I have my own sense of proportion."

"Your sense of propriety is to raise Mingyu and hand over Jinguo to her, and then you can leave with peace of mind?" Ye Zhen looked at his back and said in a low voice, "Sometimes I really wish I had been in Dongfang I don’t want to meet you in Qingguo, I can’t repay your kindness.”

"I don't need your reward." Murong Ke said coldly, "I have never regretted what I did for you. It has nothing to do with you. I did it willingly. You don't need to pay me back."

Ye Zhen said, "Actually, it's not my turn to say whether you are willing to accept a concubine or not. I just want to tell you whether Mingyu will become the future king of the Jin Kingdom. It doesn't matter at all. You should have your own My child, find someone to serve you by your side..."

Murong Ke turned around suddenly and stared at Ye Zhen with burning eyes, as if he wanted to eat her up.

"Ake..." Ye Zhen was shocked when he saw her.

"I don't want to touch anyone except you." Murong Ke said every word, his voice was not high, but it fell heavily on Ye Zhen's heart.

Ye Zhen lowered her eyes, "You shouldn't think that way."

"I really don't want to think that." Murong Ke grabbed her shoulders and asked her to look at him, "Knowing that you are A Zhan's fiancée, I thought about never seeing you again. Knowing that you were kidnapped by Qi Ruoshui, I thought too. Control yourself not to save you, you are missing, and I also want to forget you. If I could, I wouldn’t be here, Ye Zhen."

"You..." Ye Zhen looked at him in shock, "How do you know?"

Murong Ke smiled lightly, "How do you know you are Ye Zhen and not the real Lu Yaoyao? Yaoyao, I knew it a long time ago."

Because he knew how deep her love for Mo Rongzhan was, he couldn't bear to take her away, because he couldn't bear to see her sad.

"Ah Ke, it makes me uncomfortable to see you like this." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.

"That's good." Murong Ke said lightly, "Maybe one day I will get a wife, but I just didn't see the woman I like."

Ye Zhen raised her eyes and looked at his handsome face, "If you really think so, that's fine."

"If I met you before Murong Zhan, would you still tell me that there is nothing you can do in return?" Murong Ke looked down at Ye Zhen and asked.

What if she met Mo Rongzhan before she fell in love with him?

Ye Zhen looked at him blankly. She slowly lowered her head, remembering that she had thought about this problem in Dongqing Kingdom. At that time... she was a little tempted.

"No." Ye Zhen said. If she hadn't fallen in love with Mo Rongzhan, she would have fallen in love with Murong Ke.

However, she met Mo Rongzhan first, and her heart and soul belonged to Mo Rongzhan.

Murong Ke's eyes lit up with stars. He let her go and smiled leisurely, "Yaoyao, that's enough."

Ye Zhen frowned and looked at him.

"Don't look at me like this." Murong Ke lowered his head and put his arms around Ye Zhen's waist when she was about to avoid her. He covered her eyes with one hand, "I will be reluctant to forget."

"Murong Ke." Ye Zhen said softly, "If you want to forget, I can help you."

"How can you help me? Make me forget you at all, forget how I met you and how I fell in love with you?" Murong Ke laughed hoarsely, "These memories are the most precious things in my life, how can I not want them."

Ye Zhen frowned and wanted to pull away his hand.

Murong Ke quickly kissed her on the lips, "Just think of it as repaying me, everything."

"You..." Ye Zhen glared at Murong Ke who had already taken a few steps back. Seeing the gentle look flowing quietly in his eyes, her anger dissipated again, "Then I'm leaving."

"Yaoyao, you have to be good." Murong Ke said, "Since Mingyu calls me Father, then she is my daughter. Whatever I give her in the future is our business."

Ye Zhen said, "I know."

Neither she nor Murong Zhan thought about interfering with Mingyu's future, let alone asking her to live in Prince Qin's Mansion. When she was most lonely, it was Murong Ke who took their place and accompanied her as both father and mother. Mingyu spent four years, and Mingyu's feelings for Murong Ke were indelible, and they both knew it in their hearts.

"When will you go to Qi?" Murong Ke asked.

"It should be within the next two days." Ye Zhen said, "The sooner we find Ayi, the sooner we can feel at ease."

Murong Ke nodded lightly, "Okay, I'll send someone to escort you."

"No, too many people will attract people's attention." Ye Zhen declined. With their current cultivation level, not many people could hurt them.
