Chapter 2226 Dementia

That was Lu Shuang'er. Ye Zhen would never admit it. She would recognize this woman even if she turned into ashes.

Merongyi didn't dare to look into Ye Zhen's eyes and said in a low voice, "When I went to the palace, she was beside the queen. I didn't let her follow me. The queen... the queen didn't agree."

Ye Zhen's face darkened slightly. The Queen Mother used to hate Lu Shuang'er. How could she let Lu Shuang'er stay with her?

"Also, sister-in-law, she doesn't seem to remember anything and acts like a fool." Mo Rongyi looked at Ye Zhen helplessly, as if she wanted to ask for forgiveness, "Everyone in the palace calls her a fool."

Stupid girl? Has Lu Shuang'er become a fool?

Ye Zhen frowned and looked at the woman on the stone steps. She must have been imprisoned in the Yuan Kingdom Palace for many years. Lu Shuang'er looked much older, but the usual arrogance on her face was gone. She was standing at the corner of the steps in confusion and timidity. , not even daring to look at them.

Based on her understanding of Lu Shuang'er, even if she was in despair, it would be impossible for her to show such a cowardly look in front of her.

"Where is the Queen Mother?" Ye Zhen glanced at Lu Shuang'er and put her affairs aside for the time being. Now it was important to see the Queen Mother first.

"Inside." Mo Rongyi pointed to the room.

Ye Zhen looked back at Murong Ke.

Murong Ke nodded lightly and walked into the room with Ye Zhen.

In Ye Zhen's impression, the Queen Mother was dignified and elegant. Even though she was old, there was a sense of nobility in her behavior. She was well-maintained and her skin was still fair. However, the person lying on the bed now was an old woman. His hair was pale, his complexion was sallow, and his face was covered with wrinkles. If it weren't for the brocade clothes he was wearing, she would have hardly recognized this person as the Queen Mother.

It was becoming too much!

"The Queen Mother..." Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongyi in surprise.

"When I met the Queen Mother, she was like this." A trace of guilt flashed in Mo Rongyi's eyes. If they hadn't ignored the Queen Mother all these years, the Queen Mother might not have become so ill.

Ye Zhen took a few steps forward, and then she could see the Queen Mother's appearance more clearly.

Not only has the Queen Mother aged a lot, but the corners of her mouth are also tilted to one side, making her look like she is suffering from dementia.

"You..." The Queen Mother heard the footsteps and opened her eyes suddenly. She saw Ye Zhen standing next to the bed. She was stunned for a while and finally recognized who it was. Her expression suddenly became excited. She twisted her mouth and babbling. He screamed, "Lu... Lu Yaoyao..."

"Queen Mother, what do you think?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. Seeing what the Queen Mother was like now, she suddenly felt that there was no need to worry about all the previous grudges.

"Ah, let's go...ah..." the Queen Mother stuttered, as if she didn't want to see Ye Zhen.

Merongyi hurriedly came over and held the Queen Mother's hand, "Queen Mother, don't you know that my sister-in-law has very good medical skills? Maybe she can cure your disease."

I don't know if it was because of Mo Rongyi or his words, but the Queen Mother was not so excited anymore.

"Shuang...Shuang'er!" The Queen Mother looked out the door, looking for Lu Shuang'er.

Lu Shuang'er, who had been outside and dared not come in, ran in with his head lowered, "Queen Mother, are you looking for me?"

The Queen Mother held Lu Shuang'er's hand and stared at Ye Zhen, not knowing what she was saying.

Others couldn't understand what the Queen Mother said, but Ye Zhen did. Her eyes darkened slightly. Why did the Queen Mother mistake her for Ye Zhen? There was no way she would know.

"Mother, what exactly are you going to say?" Mo Rongyi asked warmly.

"She is Ye Zhen, not Lu Yaoyao, she is a ghost!" the Queen Mother shouted, but the corners of her mouth were so crooked that she couldn't even pronounce her words clearly, and she could not speak clearly at all.

Merongyi couldn't hear a word clearly, "Mother, please take a rest first and don't get excited."

Ye Zhen frowned. She was sure that the Queen Mother's illness was not fake, but how could the Queen Mother know that she was Ye Zhen? Had someone chewed the back of their tongue in front of her before?

The Queen Mother couldn't listen to what Mo Rongyi said. She pointed at Ye Zhen and kept shouting.

"Ayi, what is the Queen Mother talking about?" Zhao Ning stepped forward and asked Murongyi in a low voice.

"I don't know either." Merongyi shook his head. The Queen Mother spoke so vaguely that he didn't hear what she was saying clearly.

Ye Zhen raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Shuang'er, then turned to Murong Ke.

Murong Ke's face was gloomy and silent. Like Ye Zhen, he could hear what the Queen Mother was saying.

"Ayi, since the Queen Mother won't let me get close, I'll go out first." Ye Zhen whispered to Murongyi.

"Sister-in-law, the Queen Mother's illness..." Merong Yi glanced at the Queen Mother worriedly.

Ye Zhen said, "I'll come back when the Queen Mother falls asleep."

Merongyi nodded lightly and personally escorted Ye Zhen and the others out of the house, "Sister-in-law, where is the emperor?"

"He has been out for a few days and has not come back yet." Ye Zhen said, "Don't worry, I will explain to him when he comes back. Don't forget, the Queen Mother is also your brother's mother."

"Okay." Mo Rongyi breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, as long as his sister-in-law doesn't mind, the emperor brother will definitely not be angry.

Ye Zhen glanced at him, "You go back and take care of the Queen Mother first, and then come to me after the Queen Mother falls asleep. Also, before the matter of Lu Shuang'er is found out, you have to have people keep an eye on her."

Merongyi looked solemn, "I will do this even if my sister-in-law doesn't tell me."

"Go." Ye Zhen patted Mo Rongyi on the shoulder.

Murong Ke waited for Mo Rongyi to leave, then looked back at Lei Bingfu.

Lei Bingfu wisely walked away from Fudou.

"Yaoyao, did you hear clearly what the Queen Mother said?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.

"I heard it." Ye Zhen nodded lightly, "The Queen Mother is suffering from dementia now, and she met...Ye Zhen in the early years. It is normal to admit the wrong person."

Murong Ke was afraid that the Queen Mother was not just admitting the wrong person, "Can you cure the Queen Mother's disease?"

"It's hard to say. Dementia is not difficult to cure, but improvement is possible." Ye Zhen said.

"Have you seen that woman standing next to the Queen Mother before?" Murong Ke asked.

"She is Lu Shuang'er." Ye Zhen looked gloomy, "She was imprisoned in the Yuan Kingdom's palace by me before, but I don't know when she was released."

Murong Ke said coldly, "Why do you still keep this person? Why don't you kill him?"

"Killing her will give her an advantage." Ye Zhen said, killing Lu Shuang'er would dirty her hands. "Forget it, let's find out why she went to the palace first."

"It is not a good thing for her to stay with the Queen Mother." Murong Ke said.

Ye Zhen shook her head, "Looking at her, it doesn't look like she is pretending. If she is really a fool, I would like to know who made her become a fool."

Murong Ke asked in a deep voice, "Do you want me to take the Queen Mother back to the palace?"

"Forget it, let the Queen Mother stay here. With Ayi here, her illness may be cured faster." Ye Zhen said.
