Huang Fuchen personally interrogated that person, and in less than a day, he learned everything from that person.
Their guess was right. It was indeed someone from the Qi family of Northern Border City. They knew that it was impossible to assassinate Yao Yao and Ming Xi directly. Only by forcing them away could they have a chance.
As for what kind of opportunity it was, they still wanted to plan.
Who knew that they couldn't scare the woman and were caught instead? These people looked down on Ye Zhen too much. They didn't know her true identity at all. If she was just an ordinary woman, she would definitely be frightened. However, these people didn't know Ye Zhen, nor did they understand what kind of person Ye Yiqing was.
Qi Yu continued to investigate according to the man's confession. Dozens of people were imprisoned overnight. If he didn't want to accumulate merit for his daughter who was not yet a month old, he would have simply killed them all. However, the restless people in the whole country immediately quieted down. Even the ministers who wanted to persuade the emperor to marry a concubine burned their memorials lest they accidentally angered the emperor and be beheaded.
Ye Zhen didn't care about the situation in China. She only cared about when her father would return.
She had asked Ye Chundong to inquire about the storm Qi Yu mentioned. It was said that a group of pirates had sunk there, but there was no news of Ye Yiqing. They should not be so coincidental.
Two months passed quickly. Compared to the six months Ye Zhen had budgeted, it had dragged on for a long time. She became more and more anxious.
"Yao Yao, is there any news of your father?" Zhao Yang was pregnant. She was about to give birth. Although it was not yet the day of delivery, everyone around her was already nervously preparing for it.
Ye Zhen did not dare to tell Zhao Yang the news about Ye Yiqing. She was afraid that it would irritate her and affect the fetus.
"Not yet. Sometimes it's normal to delay a month or two." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Zhao Yang frowned and sighed softly, "I always feel uneasy. If only your father was by my side."
Because of the loss of a child, Zhao Yang was even more nervous. She hoped to give birth to their child safely. However, Ye Yiqing had been gone for so long without any news. It would be strange if she wasn't worried.
"It's okay. Your fetal position is very good. Maybe your father will be back before you give birth." Ye Zhen comforted Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang looked at Ye Zhen with a smile, "I hope so. Didn't you bring Ming Xi and the others to the palace today?"
"Mother, Mother …" Ming Xi's small figure appeared in the hallway in front of them. He was wearing red clothes and looked a little like a fire phoenix. His short legs kept running. "I'm going to find my sister. I'm going to find Yuanyuan."
Ye Zhen glared at her son who had grown a lot taller and looked more and more like Mo Rongzhan. She pointed at him and scolded, "You bit Yuan Yuan's cheek last time and poked her head. How dare you go to her?"
"My biological sister." Mingxi said in a childish voice. Yuanyuan's body was very fragrant and soft to the touch. He only wanted to take a bite, not knowing if it would be sweet or not. Who knew that Yuanyuan would cry so loudly.
Zhao Yang smiled and asked, "Are you looking for Ming Yu to play?"
"Ming Yu also wants to find Yuanyuan." Ming Xi said seriously, "Ming Yu is the younger sister, and Yuanyuan is also the younger sister."
"I think your son will have a lot of sisters in the future." Zhao Yang looked at Ye Zhen with a smile.
Ye Zhen wanted to touch her forehead and sigh. "Aren't you afraid of the emperor in the palace?"
She smiled and felt a little scared to see Qi Yu.
"Not afraid! Mother said that father is also the emperor. "Ming Xi said seriously. Although he had never seen his father, he felt that his father must be very powerful.
Ye Zhen felt a little guilty for not letting the two children see Mo Rongzhan, so every night before going to bed, she told them about the Jin Kingdom, especially their father. She hoped that when they saw Mo Rongzhan in the future, they would not be too resistant and unfamiliar.
"When you see Yuanyuan, you can't poke her head with your hand again. She will hurt." Ye Zhen squatted down and held Ming Xi's soft hands. "You are the elder brother. In the future, you will protect your sister. You can't bully her."
Ming Xi nodded as if he understood. "No biting, no poking, Yuanyuan."
Ye Zhen chuckled, looked up at Zhao Yang and said, "I'll take them into the palace and inquire about the sea by the way."
Qi Yu sent people out to sea to patrol every month. Maybe they could find news of Ye Yiqing and the others.
When they arrived at the palace, Ming Xi found Shen Mengxi's Fengxiang Palace with familiarity. "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan …"
Shen Mengxi was holding her daughter in the small garden to bask in the sun. When she heard Ming Xi's voice, her eyes lit up slightly and she looked over with a smile. "Brother is here."
"Sister." Ming Xi climbed up the steps of the pavilion with his short legs and came to Shen Mengxi's side. Looking at his little sister, he leaned over and kissed Yuanyuan's face.
Perhaps Yuan Yuan still had a shadow of the last time she was bitten, but suddenly she burst into tears.
Ye Zhen came over holding Ming Yu's hand. "Ming Xi, did you bully your sister again?"
"No!" Ming Xi looked aggrieved. "My sister is crying."
"Don't cry, Yuanyuan." Ming Yu walked over and tried to blow on Yuan Yuan, but all she blew out was a bubble of saliva, which burst with a bang.
"Ka ka …" Yuan Yuan stopped crying, looked at Ming Yu, and started giggling.
Shen Mengxi smiled. "Yuan Yuan likes Ming Yu very much."
Ming Xi held Yuan Yuan's hand. "I like my brother."
"Yes, I like my brother too." Shen Mengxi chuckled and looked up at Ye Zhen. "You haven't been to the palace for half a month."
Ye Zhen sat down. "I'm just afraid that Ming Xi will hurt Yuan Yuan again." "That's right.
"Are you worried that the last time he bit Yuan Yuan will make the emperor angry?" Shen Mengxi smiled. "Don't worry, the emperor is not angry. Ming Xi is so young and not sensible. He likes Yuan Yuan, but he doesn't know how to express it."
"Actually, I want to know about the situation at sea …" Ye Zhen whispered. In front of Shen Mengxi, she could show her worries without concealment.
Shen Mengxi asked, "Are you worried about your father?"
Ye Zhen nodded gently.
"I don't know about others, but as long as Shui Yichen is there, nothing will happen." Shen Mengxi said with a smile, as if remembering something from the past. "You don't know Shui Yichen. Before he went to Nanzhou, he commanded the sea army of China. Even in Nanzhou, his fleet is not comparable to ordinary people."
"Really?" Ye Zhen didn't expect Shui Yichen to be so powerful.
Shen Mengxi patted her gently on the shoulder. "Believe me, there will be news soon."
Ye Zhen's worries did not last long, because when she returned home from the palace, Zhao Yang began to move. All her thoughts were on delivering the baby.
"Yao Yao, I … I don't want to give birth so soon, wait for your father to come back …" Zhao Yang grabbed Ye Zhen's hand in panic and cried.
