Ye Zhen's delivery room was in the West Courtyard, which she personally selected. It was sunny and the room was bright and ventilated. The weather was very good recently. Hong Ling took others to dry the bedding in the yard. Even the clothes the little prince would wear were taken out to dry in the sun.
The day of Ye Zhen's delivery was only a few days away. Although Ye Zhen did not feel any discomfort, she insisted on walking for an hour in the paddy garden recently. She was going to give birth to two children. If she did not have enough strength, it would be difficult for her to support herself.
Since Mo Rongzhan left Chengde Villa a few days ago, she had not heard any news from the capital. Even if she wanted to invite Pei shi, there was no news.
She vaguely guessed something, but she did not want to confirm it. Her heart was filled with sadness that could not be ignored.
He … has already set off for the Kingdom of Qi.
Even if he was unwilling, he had to use this method to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Qi. If it were her, she did not know what other way to deal with the Northern Dark Kingdom and Dongqing at this time.
She was just a little sad. Li Hang's life was saved by her.
She did not know if her father knew about this. Without a prime minister, Dongqing was simply fragmented.
"Niang niang, Marquis Jingning has sent his wife to Chengde Villa." Hong Ying walked in happily. "Jianjia and Prince Hou are also here."
Ye Zhen remembered that not long ago, she wanted to know how the medical workshop was doing and sent someone to invite Hou Peidong and Jianjia, but there was no news. She thought they could not come. She did not expect them to come together today.
"Let Prince Hou wait in the hall first. I want to see Marquis Jingning." Ye Zhen whispered.
Hong Ling responded.
Ye Zhen stood up with Hong Ying's hand and went to the side hall to see Tang Zhen.
Pei shi has been busy arranging a marriage for Lu Xiangzhi these days. It was not easy to settle the marriage. Here, it was the day when Ye Zhen was going to give birth. She came to Chengde Villa without stopping.
However, this time, her mood was a little different from before. When she saw her daughter walking slowly with a big belly, she felt a burst of sourness in her heart and her eyes could not help but turn red.
"Madam Lu …" Tang Zhen called her in a low voice.
"Marquis, rest assured, I still know the severity." Pei shi said coldly, then walked up with a smile.
When Ye Zhen saw Pei Shi, she grinned, "Mother, you are finally here. I missed you."
Madam Pei touched her belly and asked worriedly, "Did you overdo it?"
"How can I eat more? I don't even dare to eat more meat." Ye Zhen said with a smile. She didn't tell Pei Shi that there were two of them inside.
Tang Zhen silently saluted, "This minister greets the Empress."
Ye Zhen looked up at him. "I have troubled Marquis Jingning to send my mother over."
There must be more guards outside the villa. Otherwise, why would Tang Zhen need to personally send Pei's over?
"Your Highness is too polite. This minister has accomplished his mission, so I will take my leave first." Tang Zhen hardly dared to look at Ye Zhen. He knew that she must be suspicious of something.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Mother, you go to Daohua Courtyard first. I have a few words to say to Marquis Jingning."
Pei shi looked at her hesitantly. "Alright."
"Your Highness, what else can I do for you?" Tang Zhen lowered his head and asked.
"Did something happen when the emperor left in a hurry last time?" Ye Zhen looked up at Tang Zhen. He didn't dare to look at her. Was it because of a guilty conscience, or was he afraid that she would know something?
Tang Zhen smiled. "Your Highness worries too much …"
"Is this Empress worrying too much? Then why didn't the emperor come? " If Mo Rongzhan was in the capital at this time, he would definitely come to accompany her. He promised her that when she gave birth, he would be by her side.
"The emperor has been busy recently. He will come to see you in two days." Tang Zhen looked up at Ye Zhen and said.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Is that so? Can this Empress believe you? "
Tang Zhen remembered what the emperor had told him. He nodded gently. "Your Highness, this minister dare not lie to you."
"Then I believe you." Ye Zhen whispered. She didn't want to believe that Mo Rongzhan would go to the State of Qi to propose marriage in person and leave her like this. No matter what he thought in his heart, as long as he went to propose marriage in person, she would be very aggrieved as an empress.
"Your Highness, this minister will take his leave first." Tang Zhen didn't dare to say that the emperor had left the capital this morning. Although he didn't go to the State of Qi to propose marriage, it was almost there. However, he couldn't say such words. In case Yao Yao's fetus was affected, he would never forgive himself in this life.
He wanted to dissuade the emperor, but he knew very well that there was no way.
"Marquis Jingning, how long have you known Lu Lingzhi?" Ye Zhen suddenly stopped Tang Zhen and asked.
Tang Zhen didn't expect her to ask about Lu Lingzhi. He was stunned for a moment. "It should be more than ten years."
"So, you know Lu Lingzhi very well." Ye Zhen was a little tired from standing. She slowly walked over and sat down. "Have you heard Lu Lingzhi mention the State of Qi before? Has he ever been to the State of Qi? "
"Before the Lu family became an imperial merchant, they were merchants who traveled far and wide. They should have been to the State of Qi, but I haven't heard Lu Lingzhi mention it. Your Highness, why do you ask?" Tang Zhen asked. He used to think that he knew Lu Lingzhi very well, but after so many things happened, he found that his understanding of Lu Lingzhi was not as deep as he thought.
Ye Zhen shook her head gently. She asked Lu Zan to inquire about the past of the Lu family, but there had been no reply so far. Every time she thought of Lu Wushuang in the State of Qi, she felt that Lu Lingzhi must have had a secret force in the State of Qi a long time ago.
"Lu Lingzhi … is still alive." Tang Zhen glanced at Ye Zhen and said in a low voice.
"Still alive?" Ye Zhen looked up at him. "Where is he?"
Tang Zhen's face was heavy. "I can only find out that he was seriously injured, but he saved his life. As for where he is, I haven't found out yet."
"Oh." Ye Zhen's fingers gently touched the edge of the cup. "It's good to be alive."
She had always wanted to kill him herself.
"Your Highness, if there is anything you need me to check, please let me know." Tang Zhen said.
"I may not be able to find out what I want. Lu Lingzhi was seriously injured but still alive. It was certainly not luck. Do you know who saved him?"
"I wonder if your Highness has heard of the Spring Breeze Cliff Medicine Valley?" Tang Zhen asked.
"Spring Breeze Cliff?" Ye Zhen shook her head. "Where is that?"
Tang Zhen said, "If anyone in this world can save Lu Lingzhi, apart from your Highness, it may be Duanmu Ya and his son."
"It seems that Lu Lingzhi is really lucky." Ye Zhen sneered, but she kept the Spring Breeze Cliff in her heart. She would not let go of any clues to investigate Lu Lingzhi.
"Your Highness, you don't have to take him to heart. He will have retribution." Tang Zhen whispered. The Emperor will certainly not let him go.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Thank you for telling me this, Brother Tang."
