Shui Yichen thought that through Zhao Rao's coercion, Ye Zhen might change her mind and return to the palace, but she still refused to be the Heavenly Princess of Yuan Kingdom. She would rather live with Mo Rongzhan in this small courtyard. No matter what he said, she would not change her mind.
It was useless for him to say anything more.
Ye Zhen looked at Shui Yichen's back as he strode away. When she founded Yuan Kingdom, she thought of leaving it to Ming Yu in the future. However, she had been away for four years. Four years was not a long time, but it was enough to change a lot of things, especially people's hearts, which were the most complex and easily changed. Now, there were ministers who still respected her as the Heavenly Princess. Even if she went back and continued to be the Heavenly Princess, it would be different from before.
Originally, she thought that Huang Fuchen was more suitable, but unfortunately, he was used to a life of peace and could not be as good at politics as Shui Yichen.
"Sister Ye, what happened to my eldest brother? I called him but he ignored me as if I owed him a few hundred taels. " Shui Miaomiao came in from the outside and asked with a puzzled face. When she heard that her eldest brother had come, she wanted to come and greet him happily. Who knew that all she saw was a cold face?
"He and I didn't get along, so he left." Ye Zhen said helplessly.
Shui Miaomiao came to find Ye Zhen two days ago and brought her three-year-old daughter with her. She was in the backyard with Rong 'er and the others. Anyway, there was no one else in her family, so she simply stayed with Ye Zhen.
"My brother wants to persuade you to return to the palace again?" Shui Miaomiao asked in a low voice, "Sister Ye, do you really not want to be the Heavenly Princess?"
She wanted to, but how many years could she be? Now, everyone thinks that she has not changed because she takes good care of herself. But in ten or twenty years, will they still think so? If she is still like this, others will think of her as a monster.
"Yes, I'm used to living freely outside these four years. I don't want to live in the palace at all." Ye Zhen said with a smile, making excuses for herself.
Shui Miaomiao nodded in agreement. "I think it's really boring in the palace."
"You and Zhao Tianji are not afraid of being depressed. You can go to Zhao Island if you are bored." Ye Zhen laughed.
"Although that's the case, I can't bear to think that Big Brother is alone here. It would be great if he has a sister-in-law, but Big Brother refuses to marry." Shui Miaomiao sighed. She understood who her brother belonged to, but Sister Ye already had a husband. Why didn't her brother give up?
He even wanted to keep Ye Wei at home.
She still dare not mention that woman to sister Ye, for fear of insulting sister Ye.
Ye Zhen thought of Shui Yichen's temperament and did not know how to evaluate him. It seemed that it was not so easy to persuade him to replace her as the emperor.
"I'll go back to the backyard." Ye Zhen said.
Huang Fuchen had already left with Ah Bu. Because Ah Bu was not afraid of strangers, and when he saw Rou 'er, he couldn't help but kneel. Ye Rou was afraid of being seen through, so she didn't force Huang Fuchen to stay.
Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix were nowhere to be found. Only Shang'er and Shui Miaomiao's daughter, Mengmeng, were in the garden.
Shui Miaomiao used to like Ming Xi and Ming Yu the most. Now that she saw Ming Xi grow into a handsome young man, she liked him even more. Originally, she had the idea of letting her daughter and Ming Xi be childhood sweethearts, but when she saw Rou 'er, she dispelled the idea.
Childhood sweethearts were out of the question, but it was possible for Ming Xi to take care of Mengmeng like a sister.
"Sister Shang'er, wait for me!" Mengmeng chased after Shang'er with her short legs, wanting to eat the meat strips in her hand.
"You can't eat this, it's very spicy. Didn't I give you non-spicy candied haws?" Shang'er held a bag of spicy meat strips in her hand, running and being chased by Zhao Mengmeng. She couldn't eat spicy food herself, and tears were streaming down her face.
Shui Miaomiao hurriedly stopped her daughter from eating indiscriminately, and after a while, she burst into tears.
Ye Zhen looked at the innocent children, shook her head and smiled, and went to the house to find Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan often went out these days, and today he finally rested in the house. Ye Zhen boiled medicine and put it on the table, but it was already cold.
"You don't want to take medicine." Ye Zhen snorted, walked to his side and sat down, pretending to be angry.
"I forgot." Mo Rongzhan's thin lips evoked a faint arc, and he reached out to hold her slender waist. "Has Shui Yichen received a letter from the Qi Kingdom?"
Ye Zhen was surprised. "How do you know?"
"There's news from the Jin Kingdom. Murong Ke refused Zhao Rao's request and asked her to release Zhao Ning." Mo Rongzhan said lightly. "Isn't this your idea?"
"I just vaguely reminded my eldest brother. I'm not sure if Murong Ke will do that." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Zhao Rao must be furious. She sent an envoy to the Yuan Kingdom to find Shui Yichen, wanting Shui Yichen to hand me over."
Mo Rongzhan whispered, "Shui Yichen wants you to go back to the palace?"
"Well, what do you think Shui Yichen wants to do? He knows better than I do. Now that the ministers of Yuan Kingdom are more loyal to him, even if I return to the palace, I will still be a puppet in the future." Ye Zhen frowned. Even she could see that Shui Yichen was unwilling to be a subordinate. Why did he insist on her returning to the palace?
What was Shui Yichen thinking? Yao Yao couldn't see it, but it didn't mean that Mo Rongzhan didn't know.
"When Zhao Rao sends troops to the Yuan Kingdom, we will borrow ten thousand elite troops from the Yuan Kingdom. Shui Yichen doesn't need to intervene in our own grievances." Mo Rongzhan held Ye Zhen on his lap and said indifferently.
"If Zhao Rao sends troops, it will not be good for the Qi Kingdom. Will she do that?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. Would Zhao Rao be so impulsive?
Mo Rongzhan gently rubbed her chin with his fingertips. "Well, she will."
"You mean you want to lead your own troops to fight?" Ye Zhen finally understood the meaning of his words. "Also, aren't you blind? How do you know more than me? "
"I'm just blind, not deaf …" Mo Rongzhan buried his face in her body and chuckled. His voice was low and sweet. "Although I am no longer the emperor, it doesn't mean that there are no people I can use."
Ye Zhen pushed him away. "Mo Rongzhan, you are hiding a lot of things from me. What do you know?"
"Not much." Mo Rongzhan chuckled.
"How is that possible!" Ye Zhen cried. "Tell me, what do you know?"
Mo Rongzhan had no choice but to say, "The third princess of the Qi Kingdom forced the Emperor to abdicate. Zhao Rao killed the Emperor's son-in-law and placed the princess under house arrest. She has already deployed 20,000 cavalry to Sha Jiu City."
This meant that she was going to war with the Yuan Kingdom.
"She sent an envoy to Shui Yichen to hand me over, while she gathered troops in Sha Jiu City. Is she planning to threaten Shui Yichen?" Ye Zhen's mind was filled with hatred and grief when Zhao Rao looked at her that day.
Zhao Rao must have wanted to kill her immediately.
