Hong Ying's skill was not as good as that of the shadow guards, but it was not bad either. What's more, she had practiced diligently. Therefore, when Shui Miaomiao knocked Hong Ying down in just a few moves, she was stunned beyond words.
Shui Miaomiao's skill was probably no worse than Shen Yi's.
"You …" Ye Zhen couldn't find the words for a long time. "Did your brother teach you martial arts?"
"Yes, but I haven't practiced recently. I eat too much and am much worse than before." Shui Miaomiao said gloomily. "Fortunately, my brother didn't see it."
Hong Ying stood up from the ground with a blank face and silently looked at Shui Miaomiao. Her skill was worse than before. What was it like when she was at her best? Who would have thought that a fat girl like Shui Miaomiao could be so flexible? It was really … amazing.
Ye Zhen patted Shui Miaomiao's shoulder gently. "Miss, you can do it now."
She really didn't expect Shui Miaomiao to have such a powerful skill. No wonder Shui Yichen found so many strong women to watch her exercise. Was he afraid that she would get angry and beat people?
"Sister Ye, when will my illness be cured?" Shui Miaomiao blinked and looked at Ye Zhen. Her clothes had loosened a lot in the past two days, which proved that she had lost weight again. Did it mean that she was cured?
Ye Zhen said, "Your disease can't be cured in a day or two. When you are thinner, I will give you acupuncture. As long as you can completely expel the evil energy from your body, then you can be considered cured." Ye Zhen nodded.
"But I heard that you will stay in Northern Border City for a long time." Shui Miaomiao whispered, "Brother doesn't seem to like it here very much."
"Oh, I think he will like it slowly." Shui Yichen didn't want to stay in Northern Border City not because he didn't like it, but because of the palace. Now, for his sister's sake, he had to stay even if he didn't want to.
Shui Miaomiao's face lit up. "Really?"
How could she know … Shui Yichen had to stay even if he didn't like it. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease to return to Nanzhou.
When Shui Miaomiao started running laps in the garden, Ye Zhen asked Hong Ying to find Ye Chundong. She wanted to know more about Shui Yichen's past.
Especially through a past like the armor.
"You want to investigate Shui Yichen?" Ye Chundong asked in surprise. "Yaoyao, did he do something?"
"No, he used to be in the army. I just want to know what his identity was before." Ye Zhen whispered, "Don't let him find out that we are inquiring about him."
Ye Chundong nodded lightly. "I understand."
The next day, Ye Yiqing brought Zhao Yang back when it was almost dark. He seemed to be in a good mood. He probably had a lot of fun outside these past few days.
"Where are my two little baby grandsons?" When Zhao Yang came back and learned that Ye Zhen had left the palace, she immediately wanted to see Ming Xi and Ming Yu.
Ye Zhen snorted, "You don't ask me if I'm doing well in the palace. You only care about the two little ones."
Zhao Yang glared at her. "If you're not doing well, can I stop you from entering the palace?"
"What does it matter?" Ye Zhen asked snappily.
"Of course it's related. It's fine if you're doing well, but I can't stop you if you're not doing well. In that case, I might as well not ask so that I don't have to worry about you." Zhao Yang took Ming Yu and Ming Xi from Hong Ling's hands and walked outside without even looking at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen's fingers trembled. "Dad, look, I have no status."
"She's angry that you brought the children into the palace. She ignored me for two days, let alone you." Ye Yiqing said with a smile. It was not easy for him to coax his wife. Otherwise, she would have to sleep on the floor every day. Who could stand it? Old people need to be hugged in their arms, so he did not intend to help his daughter. "You coax her yourself."
"Forget it. She won't give me a good face when she's angry." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "Let Ming Xi and Ming Yu make her happy first, and then I'll go to her."
Ye Yiqing raised his eyebrows and looked at his daughter. Having a child was really good. It seemed that he had to work harder to get Zhao Yang to give birth. "Is everything done in the palace?"
"Well, Dad, I have something to discuss with you." Ye Zhen hadn't told Ye Yiqing about borrowing troops for a year, and she didn't know if he would agree. Even if he didn't agree, there was nothing she could do.
Ye Yiqing looked at his daughter calmly. She had been like this since she was a child. Once she did something wrong, she would show this kind of expression. Fearing that he would be angry, she would show this kind of flattering expression before she spoke, making him unable to vent his anger.
"What's the matter?" Ye Yiqing's face was cold, deliberately pretending to be indifferent.
Ye Zhen sat down in an armchair with Ye Yiqing's hand. "Dad, what do you think of China?"
"Not bad." Ye Yiqing nodded lightly. "Why do you ask this? Do you like China very much? "
"Not that I like it very much." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "But I can live here for a while, right?"
"How long is a while?" Ye Yiqing asked faintly, but there were doubts in his heart. He knew his daughter's character very well. If there was no reason, she would not stay here. He knew that she already wanted to return to Jin Kingdom. It was impossible for her to want to live in China for too long for no reason.
"One year." Ye Zhen whispered.
Ye Yiqing raised his eyebrows. A year was not a short time. He looked up at his daughter seriously. "Why?"
"I promised the Emperor of China to cure his Empress's illness. It will take a year." Ye Zhen whispered.
Ye Yiqing's expression became colder. He knew that his daughter could not be such a saint. There must be a reason why she was willing to stay for a year. "Why?"
"I want to borrow 100,000 elite troops from the Emperor of China." Ye Zhen whispered.
"What?" Ye Yiqing almost thought he had heard wrong. 100,000 … elite troops?
Ye Zhen nodded. "Yes, I said I want Dongqing. As long as there are 100,000 elite troops, I can get it."
"Okay, I see." Ye Yiqing nodded gently. "Then one year."
She knew that her father understood her! Ye Zhen showed a happy smile. "But … it will take a lot of silver."
"Isn't there still a year?" Ye Yiqing smiled. It seemed that he really had to find the treasure left by Qi Yanling.
"It would be good if the map was complete." Ye Zhen sighed softly. Even if the map left by Qi Yanling was complete, he would not be able to find anything in the end.
Ye Yiqing smiled. "Even if there is no map, with the silver we earn from doing business, it will be possible. But …"
"But what?" Ye Zhen asked hurriedly.
"Yao Yao, when the time comes, you can only rely on yourself. The only thing I can help you is to find silver for you." Ye Yiqing whispered.
In other words, he did not want to return to Dongqing anymore.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Father, I understand what you mean."
Li Hang was heartless to him, and he did not want the world to judge him as unjust.
