In just a few days, Dongqing began to be restless again.
Led by the Liu party, the ministers of the court forced Li Heng to appoint a crown prince. The eldest prince was already ten years old and could be crowned crown prince.
Ye Yiqing's party strongly opposed that the eldest prince was immoral and his mother was arrogant and domineering. She was banished to the Cold Palace and was not worthy of being the crown prince. What's more, the emperor and empress were still young and did not have to worry about having no children in the future.
The two parties argued fiercely. At this time, the news that the second prince was poisoned came out.
"Father, how could the second prince be poisoned?" Because the capital was not very peaceful recently, Ye Zhen did not enter the palace to see the empress for two days. Today, when she heard that the second prince was poisoned, she could not help but ask Ye Yiqing.
Ye Yiqing snorted coldly, "It's not poisoning, it's just that the food is incompatible with each other. Someone deliberately let the second prince eat something he shouldn't eat."
"How did it involve the second prince?" Wasn't it the eldest prince who had been pushed to the top of the wave recently? What did it have to do with the second prince?
"If you don't want to be invisible, you have to take some measures." Ye Yiqing said lightly, "Yao Yao, is the emperor's illness really okay?"
Ye Zhen said, "With Master's medicine, I don't think it will happen for at least five years."
Ye Yiqing nodded heavily, "At least five years to choose a crown prince."
"Father, then … what if the empress gives birth to a prince?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Then there is no suspense." Ye Yiqing froze for a moment and suddenly looked back at Ye Zhen. "Yao Yao, what do you mean? The empress … "
Ye Zhen said, "I am not sure now. Father, I will go to the palace tomorrow to check the empress's pulse. It has been so long, the pulse should be clear."
Ye Yiqing nodded, "Good!" Then he frowned and said, "Since you have seen it, why doesn't Wang Yi know that he is checking the empress's pulse every day?"
"Ten days ago, I told the empress not to go to the palace doctor for a while, for fear that someone would do something bad to her. The empress doesn't know that she is pregnant." Ye Zhen whispered.
"You went into the palace every day to help the Empress with her pregnancy?" Ye Yiqing looked in shock at his daughter. He didn't know that his daughter was hiding such an important matter from him.
Ye Rou smiled and said, "Father, the Empress's body is not easy to conceive. Now that she is pregnant, I hope to rest for a few days and not make it public for now, so as not to attract attention. Now that I am sure that the mother and son are healthy, I am only telling you."
"You've grown up. You even dare to hide it from your father." Ye Yiqing glared at Ye Zhen.
"Dad, isn't it the same to tell you now?" Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"We'll go to the palace tomorrow to diagnose the Empress. As long as the Empress is pregnant, Liu Wenxue's plan to force the Emperor to appoint a Crown Prince won't work," Ye Yiqing said in a low voice. "Dongqing can also be peaceful for some time."
Ye Zhen answered softly, "I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning."
…
…
"Empress Dowager, this is the plum wine brewed by this concubine myself. This concubine knows a recipe for beauty. It adds some medicinal herbs to the plum wine, which can nourish yin and nourish one's face." Ye Yaoyao smiled and handed a bottle of plum wine to Aunt Cheng, looking at the Empress Dowager with sparkling eyes.
"You are considerate. Ai Jia likes to drink a glass of wine recently. It is also good for the body." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, motioning for Ye Yaoyao to sit beside her. "Ai Jia now drinks a small glass of wine before going to bed at night, otherwise I won't feel sleepy at all."
Only people who have something on their mind can't sleep well. Ye Yaoyao asked with a smile, "Empress Dowager, you can sleep well at night if you relax."
The Empress Dowager sighed, "Ai Jia doesn't want to sleep well, it's just that … Hey, did the emperor summon you these days?"
How could she sleep peacefully now? The Emperor still didn't have a single heir and those members of the Imperial Clan were all eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey. Also, she originally wanted her maiden family to come to the capital, but because the Emperor suddenly left the palace for a month, this matter was left unsettled. She didn't know when there would be any more news. She couldn't do the consort selection again. She didn't know when she would be able to see the Emperor have his own child.
Ye Yaoyao blushed and shook her head, "No."
Since Mo Rongzhan returned to the palace, he has not been to other palaces except the Palace of Benevolence and Peace, let alone summon the concubines.
I'm afraid he only has Lu Yaoyao in his heart. How could he not touch other women for her? Such a man … If he can fall in love with me, it must be the luckiest thing in the world.
The Empress Dowager sighed again, "If the emperor doesn't come to you, you can always go to him."
"Niang niang, the emperor doesn't like the concubines in the inner palace to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. This concubine doesn't dare to go to him." Ye Yaoyao said softly, "As long as the emperor is well, this concubine … this concubine can always hope that he will summon me."
"You really are a sensible child." The Empress Dowager sighed. If Yaoyao had half of Ye Yaoyao's sincerity towards the emperor, the emperor wouldn't have to suffer so much for her. It wasn't easy for the emperor to fall in love with a woman, but he still had to suffer like this. Which mother would feel comfortable seeing this?
Ye Yaoyao smiled shyly, "Empress Dowager, if you feel that you can't sleep well in the palace, this concubine can accompany you to Cheng De Manor to stay for a few days and accompany you to relax. Perhaps all your worries will disappear."
The Empress Dowager laughed lightly, "How could there be such an easy matter."
"Just believe this concubine this once." Ye Yaoyao shook the Empress Dowager's hand coquettishly, "Although this concubine isn't a doctor, I can still accompany you to relax."
"Alright then. Aijia has always thought that out of sight, out of mind, out of mind. The emperor can do whatever he wants. We'll go to Cheng De Manor to relax." The Empress Dowager nodded, "When the emperor comes, aijia will talk to him."
Ye Yaoyao smiled in agreement.
In the afternoon, Mo Rongzhan came to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager told him about this matter.
"Muhou wants to take Ye Yaoyao to Cheng De Manor?" Mo Rongzhan raised an eyebrow. Just what kind of ability did this Ye Yaoyao have to be able to coax the Empress Dowager into looking at her in such a different light?
The Empress Dowager said, "That's right. If you aren't willing to give aijia a grandson, then aijia doesn't want to see you anymore."
"Muhou …" Mo Rongzhan sighed helplessly, "Then zhen will have someone escort you to Cheng De Manor."
"You!" The Empress Dowager was speechless, "Do you really want to guard Lu Yaoyao for the rest of your life?"
Mo Rongzhan smiled and said, "Zhen only likes her."
"You're infuriating aijia to death!" The Empress Dowager scolded unhappily.
"Zhen doesn't dare. Muhou, you just want grandchildren. Wait until Yaoyao marries zhen, then let her give birth to a few for you to play with." Mo Rongzhan smiled.
The Empress Dowager glared at him, "Leave, aijia doesn't want to see you right now."
Mo Rongzhan could only smile and leave.
When he reached the outside of Compassionate Peace Palace, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "To Zhong Cui Palace."
