When Huang Fuchen heard that Mo Rongzhan invited him to the imperial study, he shook his head with a smile and followed the servant.
Mo Rongzhan's face was extremely gloomy. When he saw Huang Fuchen coming in, he asked coldly, "When did you come back?"
"I've been back for a few days." Huangfu Chen cupped his hands and bowed. Before Mo Rongzhan could speak, he had already sat down on the chair next to him. "Your Majesty is in such a hurry to see me. Could it be that you want to catch up with me?"
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him indifferently. "Why didn't you send someone to inform us of your return?"
"I'm afraid you don't remember me anymore." Huangfu Chen said with a smile.
"When We saw the light again, We told you that We would not let Ye Yisong go." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. Huangfu Chen once advised him not to kill too many people after he ascended to the throne, but he killed the Ye Family the most.
Huang Fuchen picked up the teacup beside him and flicked the tea. His eyes landed on the tea, and his voice was still as gentle as water. "Ye Yisong deserves to die. The others are innocent. What's the difference between you and a tyrant?"
Mo Rongzhan looked at Huangfu Chen sharply. "When Ye Yisong was in power, all the servants in his residence were tyrannical and bullied others everywhere in the capital. I want the world to know that corrupt officials will not have a good ending."
"You know who I am talking about, Your Majesty." Huangfu Chen put down the teacup and looked at Mo Rongzhan calmly. "I'm talking about your father-in-law, your wife's father, and your brother-in-law. You know very well that they are innocent. If it wasn't for your father-in-law helping you secretly, how could you have gotten the rations so easily? Do they deserve to die too?"
Mo Rongzhan pursed his thin lips tightly. Looking at his childhood friend, he said, "Ye Yiqing and Ye Chunnan are not dead. The entire Ye Family must be executed. That is my order. However, not everyone is dead."
"Where are Ye Yiqing and his son now?" Huangfu Chen looked at Mo Rongzhan in surprise. He didn't expect Mo Rongzhan to let them go.
"I originally planned to send them to Dongqing Country, but they have already disappeared," Mo Rongzhan said plainly.
Huang Fuchen frowned. "How did he disappear? Where is Ye Yiqing? "
"How would we know?" Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. "How did you meet Ye Yiqing? Why are you so concerned about him?"
"He once helped me," Huang Fuchen said. "One more thing …"
Mo Rongzhan said angrily, "Are you done?"
"You know what I want to ask!" Huang Fuchen glanced at him. "If you can let Ye Yiqing go, why can't you let Ye Zhen go? She loves you wholeheartedly. "
"I didn't want her to die. I wanted to place her in the palace, but she was unwilling." When it came to Ye Zhen, Mo Rongzhan's tone became colder and colder.
Huang Fuchen said, "Ye Yiqing must have left because of his daughter's death."
"Ye Zhen and Ye Yiqing are not the same kind of people. She is Ye Yisong's minion." Mo Rongzhan said coldly, "What is her purpose in marrying me? It was to spy on me. She and the Crown Prince had an affair long ago. I saw her meeting with the Crown Prince with my own eyes. "
"It's just a meeting with the Crown Prince. It doesn't prove anything." Huang Fuchen was silent for a moment and spoke up for Ye Zhen.
Mo Rongzhan said indifferently, "It's not important now."
Huang Fuchen nodded lightly. Many things were indeed not important now. After all, the dead couldn't be resurrected. Ye Yisong was indeed guilty. What Mo Rongzhan did to the Ye Family was to uphold justice for the people. It was what he should do as the Emperor. Huang Fuchen couldn't say that he was wrong.
"Then I'll go back first." He stood up and was about to leave.
Mo Rongzhan stopped Huang Fuchen coldly. "I haven't finished yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"If you want to know what I said to the Empress Dowager, ask her yourself. Why are you messing around with me?" Huang Fuchen looked back at Mo Rongzhan, amused.
"Lu Yaoyao can't be a princess," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
Huang Fuchen raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "Why are you elevating the Lu Family?"
"It has nothing to do with elevating the Lu Family." Mo Rongzhan looked away, not wanting Huang Fuchen to see through his thoughts.
"I only said what should be said," Huang Fuchen said.
"How did you know Lu Yaoyao?" Mo Rongzhan didn't forget the scene yesterday. His heart still ached when he thought about it.
Huang Fuchen's eyes flashed with surprise. "From tomorrow onwards, she will be my student."
Mo Rongzhan's jealousy immediately disappeared when he heard that. "You'll teach at the Academy?"
"Yes." Huang Fuchen nodded.
"It's almost noon. We haven't had a drink together for a long time. Have a drink with me." Mo Rongzhan's lips curled up, feeling much better.
Huang Fuchen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you're in a good mood today."
Mo Rongzhan smiled without saying anything.
The two of them went to the pavilion in the Imperial Garden to have a drink. Mo Rongzhan went to greet the Empress Dowager in the evening. The smile on his face froze when he heard that the Empress Dowager still wanted to make Lu Yaoyao a princess.
"Mother, why do you still want to make her a princess?" Mo Rongzhan frowned and asked. Didn't Huang Fuchen say that Yi's fate had changed?
The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "This is what Yao Yao deserves. Ai jia likes her and is destined to be with her."
"Mother, if you like to get along with her, it's fine even if you don't make her a princess." Mo Rongzhan said.
"Your Majesty, Ai jia doesn't like to force others. Since I want to show kindness, it's natural that the other party likes it. Ai jia has sent someone to the Lu family to ask Old Madam Lu to take Yao Yao to the Hundred Gardens in two days. Ai jia hasn't been there for a long time. At that time, Ai jia will naturally test Yao Yao's thoughts." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.
In fact, she still had a hidden worry in her heart. The emperor should not know that Yao Yao looked like Ye Zhen. What if she married Yao Yao into the palace for him? After a few days, he would know about it and hate Yao Yao? She didn't want to see Yao Yao live alone in the harem like Ye Zhen.
When Mo Rongzhan heard this, he could only hope that Lu Yaoyao didn't want to be a princess.
"There is one more thing …" The Empress Dowager's tone suddenly sank. "When will the Emperor find out about the assassins yesterday?"
"Mother, you can rest assured that the truth will be found out soon." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. This time, he did not intend to worry about any problems.
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly. "The more we indulge them, the more excessive they become."
At this time, Ye Zhen, who had returned to the academy, also knew that the Empress Dowager wanted her to accompany her to the Hundred Gardens in two days. She was a little puzzled. Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly want to go to the Hundred Gardens at this time?
