Ye Zhen prepared a bunch of injury medicines for Ye Chunnan, as well as a porcelain bottle filled with spirit spring water. Read the latest chapter first
"Brother, this is the potion I refined. Although it looks colorless and tasteless, it can save your life in a critical moment. You must carry it with you. Remember, don't waste it when you are at this level. Only drink it when there is no cure. If anything happens, be sure to write back." Ye Zhen whispered and stuffed a porcelain bottle into Ye Chunnan's hand.
Ye Chunnan smiled and put it in his arms. "Alright, Big Brother will remember. Take good care of Dad."
"Do you think I need to be taken care of?" Ye Yiqing snorted. He was not even forty years old yet. In the modern world, he would still be a bachelor.
"Hey, Dad, I'm just saying. I can't tell you to take care of my sister, can I?" Ye Chunnan said with a smile.
Ye Yiqing glared at him. "Let's go. Be careful."
"Aye." Ye Chunnan nodded. "Dad, Yaoyao, I'm leaving."
"Be careful on the road," Ye Zhen said.
Ye Yiqing and his daughter watched as Ye Chunnan climbed onto the horse. They could not see him for a long time before they looked away.
"Father, I'm a bit worried." Ye Zhen whispered, "Was yesterday's assassination really done by the Wan family? I don't think they will deal with you at this time."
"It's not the Wan clan." Ye Yiqing smiled and looked at Ye Zhen appreciatively. Although she didn't know much about the Wan family, she knew that they could not be so rash at this time. "It's Consort Chen Xianfei's people."
Consort Chen Xianfei frowned, "The Chen family was instigated."
Ye Yi Qing nodded, "I was indeed instigated. When Imperial Concubine Wan was favored, the Wan family and the Liu family were enemies. I used a trick to draw the Liu family to our side and help Li Hang to ascend the throne, which gave the Liu family an opportunity. Most of the Wan family's power was absorbed by the Liu family. Now that Liu Wenzhi has lost his power, the First Prince has no chance to become the Crown Prince. The Liu family will not sit still and wait for death."
Originally, the Liu Family had made great contributions to the Emperor, but they thought too highly of themselves and followed in the footsteps of the Wan Family. It could be seen from Concubine Liu's arrogance that she didn't even care about Empress Fang. Few emperors could tolerate such officials. They acted as if they were the Emperor and didn't care about the Emperor at all. If Li Hang didn't suppress the Liu Family, the Liu Family would become the second Ye Family in the Jin Kingdom in the future.
Her father was smart. Even when he became the Prime Minister, he still followed the Emperor's orders. He didn't even guard his own private property. Only such an official could make the Emperor feel at ease.
Father did this because he was afraid that the emperor would treat him as someone like Eldest Uncle.
"Father, then why did you let Eldest Brother go to Quicksand City? Will the Liu Family really rebel?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Ye Yiqing walked back to the study with her. "Just in case, Li Hang has only been on the throne for less than two years. He should have done his best to eradicate the remnants of the Wan Family. However, the Liu Family is restless. Now, Li Hang's foundation is not completely stable. If the Liu Family and the Wan Family join forces, Dongqing will be in danger."
"I just don't understand. The Liu Family is now second only to the Emperor. Why do they still oppose the Emperor everywhere?" Ye Zhen asked.
"The Liu Family has a big heart." Ye Yiqing sneered. "They want the First Prince to rise and then become a man who dominates everything like Ye Yisong."
Ye Zhen shook her head. She was not very familiar with the situation in Dongqing. However, she still felt that if the Liu Family really wanted to rebel, the price they would have to pay would be really great. "Father, does the Emperor know that the person who assassinated you is related to the Chen Family?"
"The Chen Family used to be a poor family. How could they have any foundation? After being instigated, they became hot-headed and confessed without interrogation. The Emperor has ordered the arrest of Liu Hebin and Consort Chen Xian has been grounded." Ye Yiqing said lightly.
"Liu Hebin?" It seems that the Liu Family now only has Liu Wenxue at the border as a threat.
"Let's not talk about the Liu Family. How is the injury of Zhao Yang Princess?" Ye Yiqing asked.
Ye Zhen said, "Zhao Yang has woken up. Yesterday was a critical period, but she has passed it safely. She just needs to recuperate in the next few days."
Ye Yiqing nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. It's not convenient for me to visit her. Thank her for me."
"I was just about to go to her." Ye Zhen smiled.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Hong Ying hurriedly coming from the Chuihua Gate.
"Old Master, Miss." She bowed and looked at Ye Yiqing. "Old Master, that Zhao Yang Junzhu wishes to see you."
Ye Yiqing and Ye Zhen looked at each other. "She probably wants to ask me about the Princess of Qin."
"Father, Zhao Yang's character is cold and proud. Her words may not be very pleasant to hear. Please forgive her." Ye Zhen whispered.
"Let's go and see." Ye Yiqing said.
Zhao Yang was three years older than Ye Zhen. At the age of 15, she was sent by the former emperor to the Beiming Kingdom for marriage. She was married to a prince of the Beiming Kingdom. Initially, she occasionally corresponded with Ye Zhen, but since knowing that Ye Zhen had become the Princess of Qin, they had lost contact.
When they arrived at the guest room, Zhao Yang's face was pale, but she still managed to sit up. Her eyebrows and eyes were very light. Her plain facial features were put together, but there was a strange beauty that was unforgettable.
"Princess Zhao Yang, I trust you have been well since we last met." Ye Yiqing walked in and looked at the woman who insisted on standing up straight. The mature and dignified woman in front of him did not remind him of the little girl from many years ago. If not for Yao Yao recognizing her identity, he would not have been able to tell that she was Zhao Yang.
"Lord Ye, please forgive me for forgetting myself. I cannot get up to greet you." Zhao Yang's eyes fell on Ye Zhen for a while before turning to Ye Yiqing coldly.
Ye Yiqing said with a smile, "Princess Zhao Yang is too serious. If it were not for saving this official, you would not have been injured. It is this official who feels guilty."
Zhao Yang's lips were pale. She smiled. "Lord Ye does not need to feel guilty. I never thought of using my body to block the knife. It was a freak combination of factors that caused me to be injured. I can only blame myself for overestimating myself."
Even though Ye Yiqing was good at speaking, he did not know how to respond at this time. He thought that Zhao Yang recognized him and took the knife for him. Was it just his wishful thinking?
"Lord Ye, I came to the capital this time because I have something to ask you." Zhao Yang's face was pale, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes tightly.
"Princess, please ask." Ye Yiqing looked at her with a smile.
Zhao Yang looked at Ye Zhen. "Is Ye Zhen dead?"
Sure enough, it was this question. Ye Yiqing's eyes flashed with understanding. "Princess, Ye Zhen is indeed gone. This is Ye Zhen's younger sister. Her nickname is also Yao Yao. She and Ye Zhen are twins."
Zhao Yang held Fang Zhen's hand and tried to stand up. Her eyes were fixed on Ye Zhen. "She is Lu Yaoyao?"
"Yes." Ye Yiqing nodded. Seeing that she was about to get up, he hurriedly said, "Princess, you are injured. It is better not to move."
"You …" Zhao Yang stood up, but before she could speak, her legs felt weak.
Ye Yiqing was the closest to her. Subconsciously, he reached out and hugged her.
