Ye Yiqing seemed to have known that someone was standing in the dark and had been listening to him and Prime Minister Xu. He was unmoved when he heard the laughter and continued to drink and look at the moonlight in the sky.
Tang Zhen had to come out by himself. "Lord Ye, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
He was just curious about what Ye Yiqing was doing. He saw Prime Minister Xu coming over before he could speak. He was surprised that Prime Minister Xu and Ye Yiqing had known each other before.
"Lord Tang, you have been watching me for a long time," Ye Yiqing said lightly.
Tang Zhen smiled awkwardly. "Lord Ye, you don't have to worry about Prime Minister Xu's words. The emperor will not let anyone hurt Yaoyao."
Ye Yiqing looked back at Tang Zhen indifferently. "Lord Tang, I heard that you used to propose marriage. Mo Rongzhan is your rival in love. Are you speaking for him?"
"…" Tang Zhen felt even more embarrassed. How did Ye Yiqing even know about this?
"Whether he can protect Yaoyao or not is one thing, but killing my other daughter is another." Ye Yiqing said coldly. "Are you Tang Ying's son?"
Tang Zhen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ye Yiqing to mention his father.
"Do you know my father?"
Ye Yiqing was finally willing to look at Tang Zhen seriously, "You're a bit like him. Your father used to be in Yunlu Academy. I met him a few times. About your Tang family … I didn't know it until later."
He also had a big fight with Ye Yisong because of this matter, and they almost couldn't be brothers anymore.
At that time, Old Master Tang was still an official in the imperial court. Because of his disagreement with Ye Yisong, and because he disliked Ye Yisong for bewitching the emperor, Old Master Tang scolded Ye Yisong, causing the destruction of his family.
"It's a good thing that you are still alive." Ye Yiqing nodded. At least the Tang family was still alive.
"Lord Ye, the emperor …"
Ye Yiqing glared at him. "Don't always mention him in front of me. It's annoying."
Didn't he know that what he was most annoyed about now was hearing Mo Rongzhan's name?
Tang Zhen found that Ye Yiqing really didn't like the emperor, so why did he come to Jin in person? Was it because he wanted to see Yaoyao?
"If I marry my daughter to you, will you come with me to Dongqing?" Ye Yiqing suddenly asked.
This time, he wanted to personally choose a trustworthy man for his daughter.
Tang Zhen showed a bitter smile, "Lord Ye, do you think Yaoyao will marry me? The emperor nearly lost his life because of her, and even threw everything aside to go to the Zhao clan island to find her. Even if I still … it's already impossible. You may not be able to tell, but I know that no one but the emperor will like Yaoyao. "
Ye Yiqing had investigated Lu Yaoyao's past before he came to the Jin Nation. However, some of the information had been suppressed by Mo Rongzhan, so outsiders would not be able to find out. He had never heard of that little bastard risking his life to save Yaoyao.
"Mo Rongzhan saved Yaoyao?" Ye Yiqing didn't quite believe it. He remembered what Mo Rongzhan had said to him the last time they met. He would never forget it in this lifetime.
At that time, he was already the Emperor who had just ascended the throne. He decreed that the entire Ye Family would be executed. He only secretly spared a few people who were not in cahoots with Ye Yisong. At that time, he thought it was because of his daughter.
Until Mo Rongzhan said those words.
"I will never take Ye Zhen as my wife. She is my shame."
Ye Yiqing was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He was not a hot-blooded person, but at that moment, he just wanted to kill Mo Rongzhan ten thousand times.
Now Mo Rongzhan wanted to marry his daughter again? Hehe.
Tang Zhen said, "I saw with my own eyes that the emperor was injured by a tiger in order to save Yaoyao."
"That's really lucky. He didn't die." Ye Yiqing's tone was full of regret.
"Lord Ye …" Tang Zhen looked at him uncertainly, "Do you want to stop Yaoyao from marrying the emperor?"
Ye Yiqing smiled faintly, "This official doesn't want the emperor to suffer any more shame."
Tang Zhen was stunned.
"Take this sentence back to Mo Rongzhan and let him not forget what he said." Ye Yiqing said coldly, put the wine pot on the railing, took the cloak from his entourage, and left.
Tang Zhen looked at his tall back. It seemed that Ye Yiqing really wouldn't marry Yaoyao to the emperor again. Then … what did Yaoyao think?
Was he really going to tell the emperor everything he said today? He had some sympathy for the emperor.
Ye Yiqing asked him why he helped the emperor like this? Tang Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart. He liked Yaoyao, but the scene of the emperor risking his life to save her always appeared in his mind. He thought that he would never forget the look on the emperor's face at that time.
If it was him, he might not … have rushed out without hesitation like the emperor.
Perhaps it was because of this picture that he felt that lovers should be a family.
The banquet came to an end with Ye Yiqing's departure. Tang Zhen entered the palace at night and told Mo Rongzhan what Ye Yiqing said tonight. He quietly looked up at the emperor. He thought the emperor would be angry, but the look in his eyes looked so sad and guilty that Tang Zhen's mood became heavy.
"Go down. You don't have to follow Ye Yiqing in the future." Although Tang Zhen was excellent, he was still not Ye Yiqing's opponent. Today's words were probably a warning from Ye Yiqing.
Tang Zhen glanced at Mo Rongzhan. "Your Majesty, although Ye Yiqing said so … Yaoyao and him are only father and daughter. In terms of feelings, they are certainly not as good as Lord Lu. If Lord Lu agrees, naturally …"
In fact, the decree had already been issued. What was the emperor still worried about? Could Lu Shiming still resist the decree and not marry Yaoyao to the emperor?
"Things are not that simple." Today's Lu Yaoyao was already Ye Zhen, a person whose heart would swell and ache whenever he thought of her in this life. Marrying her was his greatest wish. He didn't want to force the emperor to marry her. He also knew very well that if Ye Yiqing didn't agree, she would not marry him happily.
Tang Zhen didn't understand why things were so complicated. Perhaps the emperor valued Yaoyao too much. In fact, he also understood Ye Yiqing's thoughts. Although the emperor conferred a posthumous title on Ye Zhen, from what he knew, he sympathized with Ye Zhen.
However, His Majesty could also be considered … to have been deceived.
Mo Rongzhan sent Tang Zhen, who was still puzzled, away. He took out the brocade box hidden in the cabinet. In addition to the fragments of the pouch, there was also a phoenix jade pendant.
He had the jade pendant repaired and it looked the same as before, but … now that he looked at it, he felt a little different.
"Fu De, I am going out of the palace."
