After Ye Zhen finished speaking, she ignored Shui Yichen. If it weren't for Mo Rongzhan's arrival, she wouldn't have noticed that Shui Yichen seemed to have overstepped his boundaries. Did he think of her as Shui Miaomiao? That was why Shui Yichen wanted to interfere in everything. She couldn't allow this to continue. Otherwise, it would be just like what Mo Rongzhan had said, Shui Yichen would only become worse and worse.
She did not turn around to look at Shui Yichen's expression. No matter what he was thinking, he had to accept the fact that Mo Rongzhan was her husband. She could not allow any of the officials of Yuan Country to be disrespectful to Mo Rongzhan.
When she returned to the back palace, she found out that Mo Rongzhan had left the palace with the two children.
"Where is the Emperor taking Mingxi and the others?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully. Two days ago, Ming Xi clamored to leave the palace. Shui Yichen also said that it was dangerous outside. Where would Mo Rongzhan take them?
Hong Ying said, "The Emperor didn't say anything. He only said that he wanted to take the Little Prince and Little Princess out to play."
Ye Zhen snorted. "Why doesn't he want to take me out? Sure enough, he doesn't want me anymore after having a child."
"Your Highness, you're just saying that out of anger. How could the Emperor not want you?" Hong Ying smiled and said, "How could the Emperor bear to abandon you? If the Emperor heard what you said, wouldn't there be a misunderstanding?"
"Let's go out of the palace and have a look." Ye Zhen said. She hadn't relaxed for a long time. It might be good to go out of the palace for a while.
Although she had lived in the Royal Capital for a period of time, she did not go out often. She heard that there were many places in the Royal Capital that still had traces of history, and there were also many fun places. However, with the current situation, the people in the Royal Capital should not be as lively as before.
Ye Zhen changed into plain and simple clothes and took Hong Ling and Hong Ying out of the palace. As soon as she left the palace, Wu Chong and Xue Lin appeared behind her.
"Why are you here?" Ye Zhen glanced at them. Seeing that they were still here, she was actually quite relieved. She was taken away from the Jin Kingdom due to dystocia and thought that Mo Rongzhan would not let them go.
"Niang niang, His Majesty had this subordinate follow by your side," said Xue Lin in a low voice.
Ye Zhen glanced at them. "You don't have to follow me in the future. I have my own guards."
Who? Xue Lin and Wu Chong glanced at each other. It couldn't be Hong Ying. "Niang niang, I'm afraid it won't be enough with just Hong Ying by your side."
"Who says there's only Hong Ying?" When she left the Jin Kingdom, she had been thinking about a problem. Except for Hong Ying and a few maids, the people who could protect her were Mo Rongzhan's secret guards. This was not a good thing. There were too few people who could do things for her. Therefore, when she returned from the Hua Kingdom this time, she deliberately promoted a few people to stay by her side.
They were all picked out by her from a hundred thousand elite soldiers. Apart from the fact that they were not familiar with the situation in each country, they would not lose to Shen Yi.
Hearing Ye Zhen's words, Xue Lin and Wu Chong were even more puzzled. They looked around but did not see anyone else. Could it be … that the Empress also had hidden secret guards around her?
"Let's go." Ye Zhen said faintly. She did not let her guards come out. Unless she was in danger or had an order, they would not appear. "You don't have to stay with this consort in the future."
Xue Lin did not understand. He felt that they seemed to be disliked by the Empress. "Empress, did this subordinate do something wrong?"
"No." Ye Zhen said, "What this consort needs are people who are loyal to this consort."
Although they were loyal, the person they were loyal to was Mo Rongzhan, not her, so it was not what she wanted. At least the people who stayed by her side must be loyal to her, not others. It was not that she did not trust Mo Rongzhan, it was just a matter of principle.
Xue Lin and Wu Chong looked at each other. They thought for a moment and understood what Ye Zhen meant.
Their loyalty to the Emperor and the protection of the Empress did not seem to conflict. Was the Empress still angry? In Chengde Villa, they concealed what happened outside, but that was the Emperor's intention.
Ye Zhen had already boarded the carriage and soon came to the street.
"Empress, the street is still very lively." Hong Ying looked out of the window and found that the street outside was already crowded with people, where was the bleak appearance of a few days ago.
"It seems that the people of the capital are not very reluctant to part with Li Hang. Even if the emperor is changed, it will not affect them." Hong Ling said.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. Whoever was the emperor had little influence on the people. Whoever could give them a good life was a good emperor. For them, the emperor was too far away. They had no right and qualification to choose at all. Therefore, they did not care who ruled the country. As long as there was no war and no increase in taxes, the emperor was a good emperor for them.
"Where will the emperor take the little prince and princess?" Hong Ling asked. There were so many people on the street, it was not easy for them to find them.
"Let's go down and take a walk first. Ming Xi and Ming Yu are either on the ship or in the barracks. They must be crazy to be brought to the street." Ye Zhen said with a smile. Today seemed to be livelier than usual. "Hong Ling, go and find out what festival is today."
"Yes." Hong Ling responded with a smile.
When Xue Lin and Wu Chong saw so many people on the street, they immediately raised their vigilance and followed closely behind Ye Zhen. They all knew that the identity of the empress was different now. They did not know if the Li family's royal family had been eliminated. However, people were ambitious, so they could not take it lightly at any time.
Hong Ling asked a passer-by on the road and learned that there was a temple fair today. Everyone came out to attend the temple fair.
"Temple fair?" Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. It turned out that today was the temple fair. No wonder it was so lively. It seemed that Mo Rongzhan had long known about today's festival. Otherwise, why would he bring his two children out?
"Empress, will the emperor take the little prince and princess to the temple fair?" Hong Ying asked.
Ye Zhen nodded. "Let's go to the Shing Wong Temple. It's going to be dark. The temple fair is really lively at night."
The Shing Wong Temple was not far from the street. Ye Zhen did not use the carriage. She walked along the street and arrived at the Shing Wong Temple before reaching the city gate.
"Empress …" Hong Ying suddenly whispered to Ye Zhen, "Look, does that person look like Lu Wushuang?"
Lu Wushuang? Ye Zhen's eyes darkened slightly. Following Hong Ying's line of sight, she saw a gorgeous and charming woman sitting in the teahouse next to her. Wasn't that Lu Wushuang?
Unexpectedly, after so many years, she finally saw this woman.
"I don't know if she is with the emperor of Qi." Hong Ying snorted.
"Let's follow her." Ye Zhen said faintly and saw that there was also a teahouse opposite. "Let's go to the teahouse first and let someone find the emperor."
There were so many people. Even if she went looking for the emperor, she did not know when she would find him.
