Ye Yiqing once again stood on this piece of land. His mood was calmer than he had imagined. As long as he did not think of his daughter, the one he had cherished so much that he was afraid to melt, the one he wished he could give her the best in the world, the one he had raised with great care. Only when he did not think of how she had died tragically on this piece of land could he be at peace.
"Lord Ye, I will send you to Honglu Temple to rest. Marquis Jingning will hold a banquet to welcome you all tonight." Assistant Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites said cautiously. They were all very nervous. No one thought that the prime minister of Dongqing would be Ye Yiqing. Not long ago, this person was a criminal of the Jin Kingdom. What was even more unexpected was that Ye Yiqing was still alive!
It was no wonder that the emperor would issue a decree to clear his name. The emperor must know that Ye Yiqing was still alive. However, the emperor didn't seem to know that Ye Yiqing had become the prime minister of Dongqing.
"Lord Chen, I want to go around. You can send the others first," Ye Yiqing said faintly. Ye Yiqing said lightly. Perhaps he should go and see his old friend, and … the other daughter that he wanted to see but did not dare to see.
Tang Zhen had been walking on the other side of Ye Yiqing. He only knew Ye Yisong because the Tang family was ruined because of Ye Yisong. He knew Ye Yiqing because of Yao Yao.
Yao Yao's appearance should be like his. At first glance, he knew that they were father and daughter.
"Lord Tang, are you interested in me?" Ye Yiqing raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Tang Zhen. Since coming out of the hall, this young man had been staring at him. Could he see a flower on his face? He was a 100% straight man! "Even if you look at me for a long time, I will not be interested in you."
"…" Tang Zhen was still very embarrassed. When he heard Ye Yiqing say this, he suddenly became speechless.
"Lord Ye, where are you going? Do you need me to arrange a carriage for you?" Assistant Minister Chen asked. He was thinking about whether he had offended the Ye family before. It seemed that when the Ye family was in trouble, he didn't hit them when they were down.
Ye Yiqing smiled faintly. "No need. Although I have been away for a few years, I still remember how to get to the capital."
Tang Zhen looked at Ye Yiqing and found that after observing him for so long, he still couldn't see what kind of person he was.
Assistant Minister Chen sent the other messengers to Honglu Temple. Only Tang Zhen followed Ye Yiqing. He was ordered by someone to find a way to hold Ye Yiqing and give the emperor a chance to find Yao …
"Lord Tang, how long do you want to follow me?" Ye Yiqing had already left the palace. After walking for a while, he found that someone was following him. He stopped and looked back at Tang Zhen.
"Lord Ye, I'm afraid you'll get lost." Tang Zhen said without changing his expression.
Ye Yiqing looked at Tang Zhen with a faint smile. "Master Tang, it's useless for you to pester me like this. I will still go to see what I should see."
Tang Zhen was shocked. It turned out that Ye Yiqing had seen through everything. He knew the purpose of following him. Since he could become the prime minister of Dongqing, he was naturally not an ordinary person. How could he fool Ye Yiqing?
"Don't follow me anymore." Ye Yiqing glanced at Tang Zhen and continued to walk forward.
Tang Zhen stood in the same place and looked at Ye Yiqing's back. He suddenly sympathized with the emperor. Yao Yao would rather not be the empress and go to find her biological father. Obviously, it could be seen how much she cared about Ye Yiqing. If Ye Yiqing did not agree to marry his daughter to the emperor, what would the emperor do?
Ye Yiqing, who had become the Prime Minister of Dongqing, did not seem to be someone who could be persuaded by an imperial edict.
Ye Yiqing ignored the entangled Tang Zhen behind him. He continued to walk on this familiar land and came to the gate of the Ye family where he used to live. Looking at the seal on the gate, his amber eyes were as calm as water.
He did not belong to this world. Whether it was the Jin Kingdom or the Ye family, he did not have a strong sense of belonging in his heart. His brotherhood with Ye Yisong was even weaker. When the Ye family was at its peak, he and Ye Yisong almost broke off their brotherhood several times. He did not like Ye Yisong's inhumane principles as an official.
He did not care how Ye Yisong confused the former emperor and how he harmed the country, but he did not like his elder brother killing the innocent and killing the loyal. Ye Yiqing felt that as a person, no matter what dynasty he was in, he should have a conscience and principles.
Ye Yisong would be beheaded, which was what he had expected. Even if it was not Mo Rongzhan, in the future, when other new emperors ascended the throne, no one would tolerate such a treacherous official.
He had never thought of avenging Ye Yisong. Before the Ye Clan was destroyed, he had always been a person with no ambitions. He wanted to live a simple life without wars or intrigues. This was what he wanted, but fate did not let him have his way. If Ye Yisong died, then so be it. He deserved it. But what about his daughter?
In the twenty years since he crossed the Jin Kingdom, only his children made him feel the continuation of life and the meaning of staying here. He watched his children grow up, and the one he loved the most was Ye Zhen, but she was gone.
He knew that it was Lu Lingzhi who poisoned Ye Zhen. Apart from Lu Lingzhi, the person he hated the most was Mo Rongzhan.
"Master, do you want to go in?" A middle-aged man stood behind Ye Yiqing. It was Man Qin.
"Why go in? It's enough to take a look." Ye Yiqing said faintly, turned and walked back. "I'm going to meet Elder Xu."
Man Qin looked at him. "Aren't you going to see the girl?"
Ye Yiqing paused. "I haven't thought about what to say when I see her. Hey, Man Qin, do you think she will hate me? I have two daughters, but only Yao Yao grew up with me. I almost forgot that I had another daughter. "
"Now the girl is also called Yao Yao." Man Qin whispered, "She is still waiting for you at Thousand Gold House."
"She was conferred the title of Empress …" Ye Yiqing's amber eyes became a little deeper. "If Yao Yao knew that her sister got everything she dreamed of, how sad and envious she would be."
Man Qin's mouth twitched a few times. "Master, how long are you going to be sad and sad? Even if you don't go to see the girl today, can you hide from her forever? "
"What do you know?" Ye Yiqing glared at Man Qin. "I saw that little bastard in the imperial court today. I restrained myself so much that I was about to bleed internally before I went up to kill him."
"It's really hard for you to pretend to be so noble and elegant, like a banished immortal." Man Qin said with a smile. After being around Ye Yiqing for a long time, they all knew what kind of character he was. It was probably more difficult for him to pretend to be like this forever than to pretend to be a woman.
Ye Yiqing sighed. "I'm going to find Elder Xu."
"Master, it's useless to escape …"
