The next day, Ye Zhen originally wanted to see Huang Fuchen, but she couldn't catch her breath for most of the day. She lay on the bed and rested for a long time. Even her breakfast and lunch were fed by Mo Rongzhan.
"You almost went crazy last night." Ye Zhen complained in a low voice. She hadn't been so indulgent for a long time. Not only did she lose herself under him so many times, but she also grabbed his shoulder and screamed. Now that she thought about it, she felt that she had no face to see anyone. Ye Zhen complained in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan whispered into her ear, "Do you like it?"
How could he say he didn't like it? That kind of feeling was too erotic. She didn't want to lie and say that she didn't like it, but … "Once in a while is enough."
"En." Mo Rongzhan's eyes were smiling. This meant that he liked her.
"Where are Ming Xi and Ming Yu?" Ye Zhen asked.
Mo Rongzhan said, "He just came back from the Upper Study. He might have gone to find Yan Xiaoliu."
"Mingxi is still feeling guilty." Ye Zhen whispered. She was worried that Yan Xiaoliu would be spoiled by too many people and become lawless. Ye Zhen did not want to intervene in the matter of Yan Xiaoliu. She wanted to know what he would do in the end.
"Beitang Yu went to see Li Heng." Mo Rongzhan told her the news that he learned this morning.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. "He really doesn't give up. Does Li Hang still believe him? That would be really stupid. "
"Li Hang is alone now. Even if he is unwilling, he can't do anything about it. Beitang Yu just wants to instigate him to go against you." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "Looks like he's still too free. The internal strife of the Dark North Kingdom is not enough for him to worry about."
"Li Heng can't have another Ye Yiqing by his side." Ye Zhen said coldly, "Beitang Yu likes to meddle in other people's business so much. It's not good not to return the favor."
Mo Rongzhan chuckled. "I have sent someone to the Dark North Kingdom."
"I'm not going to sleep. I was going to see Master today." Ye Zhen got out of bed with Mo Rongzhan's help. Her legs were still a little sore, but much better than in the morning.
"Do you want me to massage it for you?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile.
Ye Rou glared at him, "No need." She helped him change her clothes, "Do you think Beitang Yu will give up and leave King's City?"
Before Mo Rongzhan could answer her question, Hong Ying hurriedly walked in from outside. "Your Majesty, Empress, Great General Shui and Lord Liu are requesting an audience in the main hall."
After Shui Yichen lost to Mo Rongzhan, he hadn't seen him for a few days. Last time, he didn't even show up for morning court. Today, he appeared together with Liu Zhanhu and the others. Something must have happened.
"I'll be right back." Ye Zhen whispered and took Hong Ying and the others to the front hall.
Not long after, Shen Yi came to give Mo Rongzhan a reply.
"Your Majesty, the heads of the aristocratic families in the capital have jointly submitted a memorial, hoping that the Empress will maintain the original laws. Currently, dozens of people are kneeling outside the Meridian Gate, and even many of the common people have been moved." Shen Yi said to Mo Rongzhan in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes suddenly turned cold as if they were covered in a layer of ice. "Who took the lead?"
"I haven't found out yet, but this time the protests are all from the aristocratic families in the capital and nearby. It is unlikely that Beitang Yu instigated them." Beitang Yu had used Li Hang to plunder a lot of benefits from those aristocratic families. Many of them did not have a good impression of the Dark North Kingdom, so it was unlikely that Beitang Yu could incite them in just a few days.
It was estimated that some people did not want to be ruled by a Heavenly Concubine, so they wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.
"Go and find out who has been the closest to these aristocratic families recently, and whether there are people from the Li family's royal family." Mo Rongzhan whispered to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi took the order and left.
…
…
Ye Zhen came to the main hall and saw that in addition to Shui Yichen and Liu Zhanhu, even Lei Yingchun and the others were here.
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something must have happened.
When Shui Yichen saw her, his thin lips pursed and he looked at Liu Zhanhu. After losing to Mo Rongzhan, he felt that he could not lift his head in front of her.
Liu Zhanhu hurriedly replied, "Heavenly Concubine, the heads of dozens of aristocratic families in the capital are kneeling outside the Meridian Gate, trying to force you to change the laws."
"Dozens of people?" Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise. Did that mean that all the aristocratic families in the capital and nearby had come? Not long ago, they bowed their heads to her and said that they would be loyal to her. It turned out that this was their so-called loyalty.
"How do they want to change the laws?" Ye Zhen asked coldly.
Liu Zhanhu said, "They want to maintain the old system."
Shui Yichen said coldly, "The new law cannot be completely on the side of the aristocratic families. Naturally, they are not willing. However, they have encouraged the common people to be monogamous and coaxed them to follow suit. They have no idea that the new law is actually for their own good."
"Under the previous law, the aristocratic families can kill their servants at will. The new law strictly prohibits killing. Whether it is the aristocratic families or the common people, they are not allowed to kill at will. In particular, the aristocratic families feel that the new law contradicts their interests." Lei Yingchun said.
Ye Zhen asked with a sneer, "So, in addition to these aristocratic families, there are also common people who have been bewitched and encouraged to join in the fun?"
Shui Yichen said, "If the Heavenly Concubine compromises with the aristocratic families this time, they will definitely take an inch and take a foot in the future."
"I know. I said that the new law will not change because of anyone. Even if those aristocratic families kill themselves outside, don't expect me to maintain the old system. If they don't want to abide by the new law of Yuan Country, they can leave. They are not required to live in Yuan Country." Ye Zhen said coldly.
"Heavenly Concubine, then you are going against the aristocratic families." Liu Zhanhu whispered.
"Do I still have to be threatened by them?" Ye Zhen looked at them coldly. "You don't have to tell me about this again. Since the new law has been promulgated to the world, it can't be changed."
Shui Yichen glanced at her, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Heavenly Concubine, then why are they still kneeling at the Meridian Gate …" Liu Zhanhu was only worried that more people would eventually come out to oppose the new law. The power of the aristocratic families should not be underestimated. After all, they have been rooted for a hundred years. If they really went against the aristocratic families, the operation of the whole country would be problematic.
"They want to encourage the people to make trouble with them, nothing more than to fight for justice. Lei Yingchun, I remember that most of my father's disciples were from poor families, right?" Ye Zhen asked.
Liu Zhanhu's eyes lit up. "Does the Heavenly Concubine want to deal with these aristocratic families with the poor?"
"Why do they resist the new law so much? They are worried that their status will be replaced by the poor in the future." Ye Zhen said lightly, "The court does not look at the origin of the people. These aristocratic families don't agree. Don't tell me that people from poor families also don't agree?"
Why should she come forward to negotiate with these aristocratic families? They are not qualified yet.
