Ye Zhen followed Lu Shiming to the study. She had too many doubts in her heart. When she saw her father yesterday, he didn't tell her anything. She didn't know that he had already met Lu Shiming without her knowing.
"Dad, what happened?" Ye Zhen was a little uneasy. If nothing happened, she felt that Lu Shiming and his wife would not be willing to let her go to Dongqing.
Lu Shiming hesitated. In fact, he didn't intend to tell his daughter everything. He was afraid that she would think too much after knowing.
"This matter …" Lu Shiming frowned, not knowing where to start. "It was revealed by one of my colleagues. I don't know whether it's true or not for the time being. Because of your identity, the court officials have secretly united, hoping that the emperor will withdraw the imperial edict to confer you the title of Empress."
This was what Ye Zhen expected. She was the descendant of the Ye family. More than 80% of the officials in the court had enmity with the Ye family. How could they watch her become Mo Rongzhan's empress? But she was not worried.
"Just because of this, I have to leave the capital?" They forced Mo Rongzhan. What did it have to do with her? It was as if she wanted to be Mo Rongzhan's empress.
Although … although she accepted him now, it didn't mean that she would marry no one but him as before.
"I'm afraid that someone will harm you." Lu Shiming whispered.
The emperor was not an emperor who would yield to his ministers. Seeing that he personally went to Hamu City to bring back Yao Yao, he knew his determination. At that time, he was afraid that some people would secretly hurt Yao Yao.
For those people, as long as Yao Yao was gone, there would be no Ye family descendant to be called Empress.
Ye Zhen understood Lu Shiming's meaning. Were they worried that someone in the court wanted to get rid of her to avoid future troubles?
"Dad, this … isn't it too much of a fuss? I am just a weak woman. Do the court officials have to regard me as a thorn in their side?" Ye Zhen felt a little incredulous. Even if she married Mo Rongzhan, he would not become Zhou You for her. What were those ministers worried about?
"Because your father is the prime minister of Dongqing." Lu Shiming said. If Ye Yiqing had died or wandered about, perhaps his sense of threat to the court would not be so strong.
Although Ding You was at home, Lu Shiming was still able to learn a lot from his colleagues, especially about the recent negotiations between Ye Yiqing and Prime Minister Xu with the envoy from Dongqing. No one in Jin was a match for him.
If Ye Yiqing was a friend, he would definitely be of great help. If he was an enemy, he would definitely be extremely difficult to deal with.
If his daughter became the Empress, what would he do next? This was what everyone in the imperial court was most worried about and afraid of. None of them wanted to see another Ye family appear out of nowhere. They did not want to see the Ye family's power overturn the heavens.
Ye Zhen was no longer a person who knew nothing about the outside world. She understood what Lu Shiming meant.
"Father, I will go to Dongqing Kingdom, but not because I am running away from someone. They are dignified officials of the imperial court, yet they are still afraid of what kind of trouble a little girl like me will bring them in the future. Just because they are afraid of what will happen in the future, they will use all kinds of methods to deal with me. If I leave, wouldn't that be letting them off easy? They are afraid that I will marry the Emperor, but I will marry him. Let's see what they can do to me. "Ye Zhen was never a person who would retreat when she encountered setbacks. She liked Mo Rongzhan and wanted to be with him.
Lu Shiming knew his daughter's temperament. He said helplessly, "I am not asking you to run away from them. I just want you to avoid the limelight temporarily …"
"Father, you don't have to say anything more. I know what I am doing." Ye Zhen whispered.
"As long as you know what you are doing." Lu Shiming rubbed her head. "Where are you going today? Are you looking for your father? "
Ye Zhen originally wanted to go to the Thousand Gold Shop. Ye Chunming was still there. Who knew what he said to her father yesterday. "Father, I am going to the Thousand Gold Shop."
Lu Shiming nodded, amused. "Your father should still be in the palace. You won't be able to find him even if you go to the Thousand Gold Shop."
She could go to see Ye Chunming first and find out from him what he said to her father. She now felt that her father was a cunning old fox. In order to get Lu Shiming to agree to let her go to Dongqing, he secretly came to see Lu Shiming. He didn't even tell her yesterday when they met!
In fact, she understood her father's painstaking efforts. He was reluctant to let her say that she wanted to leave with Lu Shiming and his wife because she couldn't open her mouth. At the same time, he was afraid that Lu Shiming and his wife would be sad. Now, with such a reason, she didn't need to say that she wanted to leave.
She just … didn't want to leave the capital like this. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. If she really left, wouldn't those people succeed?
"Miss, where are we going?" Hong Ling asked in a low voice when she saw Ye Zhen getting into the carriage with a gloomy face.
"To the Thousand Gold Shop." Ye Zhen said in a deep voice. She seemed to have always been regarded as a little white rabbit who was easy to bully.
The shop of the Thousand Gold Shop was a connected courtyard. Later, in order to make it convenient for Ye Zhen to meet with Hong Ling and for Man Qin to have a place to stay after coming to the capital, Ye Zhen deliberately asked Hong Ling to buy the house behind it. Now, in addition to Man Qin and his men, Ye Yiqing also came occasionally. However, yesterday, there was one more person, Ye Chunming.
"What tea is this? Is it for dogs or people? "
Before Ye Zhen reached the backyard, she heard Ye Chunming's angry voice coming from the hall.
Oh, this guy really doesn't have the consciousness of living under someone else's roof. Does he think he is a lord in my territory?
"Young master, this is the tea our master is used to drinking. There is only one kind of tea here. If you are not used to it, you can only drink plain water." Man Qin said faintly.
"Man Qin, don't use Second Uncle to pressure me. Do you look down on me now that I am down and out?" Ye Chunming sneered.
Man Qin said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Young master, you misunderstand. You want so much silver at once. We really can't come up with it. Let's wait for Master or Miss to come and talk to them."
Ask Man Qin for silver? Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow when she heard this. How could Ye Chunming take Thousand Gold Shop for granted?
"Miss, you are here." When Man Qin saw the figure outside the door, his eyes flashed.
"Yao Yao, you came at the right time. Tell this servant to prepare ten thousand taels for me. I need it urgently."
Ye Zhen looked at Man Qin with a smile, "Cousin, what do you want so much silver for?"
"This is my business. You are a girl, don't ask so much." Ye Chunming said lightly.
