Huangfu Chen didn't care much about how Mo Rongzhan would solve the current situation in the capital. He believed that those who opposed him would not end well. The general situation of the Jin Kingdom had been settled and the people were very supportive of the new emperor. In recent decades, the Jin Kingdom had not been so stable for a long time.
Those members of the royal family and noble families who wanted to support the legitimate Emperor and restore the defunct Emperor Dynasty did so only because they looked down on Mo Rongzhan in the past. They were afraid that their interests would be affected, so they couldn't wait to support an Emperor who was beneficial to them.
Unfortunately, this was not very useful.
"Your wounds have healed much better than I expected." Huangfu Chen looked at Mo Rongzhan and said, "Yaoyao handled it well for you at the hunting ground. If she hadn't stopped your bleeding, I'm afraid you would have died."
At the mention of Ye Zhen, Mo Rongzhan's eyes became darker and his thin lips tightened into a line.
"She guarded you for two days and refused to leave no matter who persuaded her." Huangfu Chen sighed. "Did you say something to scare her?"
Mo Rongzhan's suppressed anger erupted like a volcano. "What would I say to scare her? I wanted to marry her but she was unmoved. But for Ye Zhen … she kept a distance from me. Since she is so heartless, why should I beg her again? "
"…" Huangfu Chen didn't know how to comfort this capricious emperor. Although Mo Rongzhan was a prince, he was not liked by the former emperor since he was a child. His life in the palace was even worse than that of a first-class palace maid. Everything he had was fought for by himself. He knew how to strategize step by step to get what he wanted. The only thing he didn't understand was love.
An emperor who didn't know how to love was moved but didn't know how to make his beloved respond to his feelings. He thought it was the same as before, that he could get what he wanted as long as he wanted.
The rarest thing in this world was sincerity.
"Ah Zhan, if Yaoyao becomes your empress, how will she face Ye Yiqing when he comes back in the future?" Huangfu Chen asked in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan's face was cold. "Ye Yiqing will never come back!"
"If I were Ye Yiqing …" Huangfu Chen looked up at Mo Rongzhan. "As long as I am alive, I will come back to avenge my daughter."
"You mean … for Ye Zhen?" Mo Rongzhan frowned. Ye Yiqing was still a convict on death row. What kind of identity was he going to return with?
Huang Fuchen said, "The person who is worthless in your eyes is a treasure in Ye Yiqing's heart."
Mo Rongzhan was silent for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "Ye Zhen is dead. She committed suicide …"
No! Yaoyao said that Ye Zhen was given poisoned wine, but he did not give her wine. Who was it? Mo Rongzhan thought of Lu Wushuang. With Lu Wushuang's temperament, she was most likely to give Ye Zhen the poisoned wine at that time. Was Lu Lingzhi hiding it for Lu Wushuang?
Although Ye Zhen's death did not touch him, Mo Rongzhan still felt unhappy. Lu Lingzhi should not have hidden it from him, even for his sister.
Huang Fuchen sighed and said, "You should give Yao Yao some time."
"I have given her a lot of time. In her mind, I am not as good as Ye Zhen, whom she has never seen." Mo Rongzhan snorted angrily.
Could it be that emperors who fell in love for the first time were all so childish? How could he compare himself to a dead person? Huang Fuchen shook his head in his heart. He decided to let Mo Rongzhan suffer a little and learn how to love someone on his own, not to obtain one.
"In that case, do you need me to help you change a female doctor?" Huang Fuchen asked.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him coldly, "It's none of your business."
See, although he said no, he still wanted to see her in his heart. Huangfu Chen held back his laughter. "It's almost time to take your medicine. I'll get someone to send it over."
"I don't want to take medicine." Mo Rongzhan's tone could not hide his disgust.
Huang Fuchen laughed, "I am going out of the palace today. Don't be capricious. Take the medicine when you need it. Your injury has not healed yet. Do you really think you are made of iron?"
"Didn't you say that my injury is recovering well?" Mo Rongzhan asked faintly.
"You have to take medicine before you fully recover." Huang Fuchen said, "Lu Lingzhi is poisoned again. This time, the seven-knotted grass is useless. Aunt asked me to go to the Lu family."
Mo Rongzhan thought of the remaining poison in Lu Lingzhi's body and nodded silently, "You go."
Huang Fuchen left the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Mo Rongzhan glanced at the door a few times, and Fu De hurriedly walked in, thinking that he had some instructions.
"Your Majesty, what can I do for you?" Fu De came in and asked.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him coldly, "Are you the only one outside?"
He was the only one. Did the emperor want someone else to be outside? Fu De cleverly thought of Ye Zhen immediately, "Her Royal Highness went to the Palace of Benevolence and Peace. Your Majesty, are you looking for the princess?"
"Go." Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. Why did he want to see her? She had ignored his feelings over and over again. Why did he put down his pride to coax her?
Fu De hurriedly retreated.
Mo Rongzhan was reading the memorial in the bedroom. Tang Zhen and Wei You soon asked to see him.
Eighth Wangye had been arrested, but he denied sending assassins and releasing tigers to kill Mo Rongyi. Tang Zhen directly put him in the dungeon.
Tang Zhen had just arrested Eighth Wangye. Fifth Wangye and the royal family immediately entered the palace to see the emperor. Mo Rongzhan refused to see them, so they wanted to see the Empress Dowager.
After the Empress Dowager knew that it was Eighth Wangye who wanted to kill Mo Rongyi, she was so angry that she wanted to behead Eighth Wangye immediately. How could she listen to these people quibble for Eighth Wangye?
Fifth Wangye and Old Prince Kang knelt outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity and cried loudly.
"Your Majesty, you have to do justice for Eighth Wangye. We don't have many brothers left. How can we be incited by the treacherous officials and wronged Eighth Wangye … Your Majesty, please have mercy." Fifth Wangye cried loudly.
"Former emperor, please show yourself and do justice for Eighth Wangye." Old Prince Kang also cried.
The royal family members kneeling behind them all loudly begged Mo Rongzhan to make a decision.
Mo Rongzhan turned a deaf ear to the memorial in the bedroom. He didn't use a red brush to read it. Anyway, in the eyes of the courtiers, he was still seriously ill.
"Your Majesty, I will drive them away." Wei You said angrily.
"Let them go. Don't pay attention to them." Mo Rongzhan said faintly and turned to Tang Zhen. "Prince Shun will be handed over to you. Torture him however you want."
Tang Zhen responded. He didn't intend to be soft on Prince Shun.
Mo Rongzhan picked up the last memorial and saw the content. He frowned and said, "How long has the dam of the lower Huaijiang River not been repaired?"
Tang Zhen and Wei You looked at each other. How did they know about this?
"Your Majesty, you may have to ask Prime Minister Xu about this." Tang Zhen whispered.
Mo Rongzhan nodded. It was time for Prime Minister Xu to ask. "You all go down."
