Mo Rongzhan had heard about Marquis Zhonghuai making trouble in the yamen yesterday. Today, he personally saw what the old bastard had done.
"How are you going to deal with the matter of Marquis Zhonghuai?" Mo Rongzhan listened to the noise outside and glanced at Lu Xiangzhi faintly.
Lu Xiangzhi had always been in awe of Mo Rongzhan because of the Lu family's affairs. However, he could see that the emperor did not hide his domineering and majestic momentum towards others. When facing Yao Yao, his eyes were so gentle that they almost dripped water. He knew in his heart that in the emperor's heart, Yao Yao and his eldest sister were different.
He was very happy for Yao Yao.
"This official has sentenced Heir Zheng to be beheaded. Marquis Zhonghuai is angry. This official will endure him for two days." Lu Xiangzhi said.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him coldly. "The son of Marquis Zhonghuai should be sentenced to death. Marquis Zhonghuai is despising the court. You are an official of the court and represent me and the court. If Marquis Zhonghuai disagrees with your sentence, he can submit a memorial, but he must not make such a noise in the yamen."
Cold sweat broke out on Lu Xiangzhi's forehead. He knew that the emperor was reprimanding him for being afraid of Marquis Zhonghuai. "Yes, this official knows what to do."
"Hmm." Mo Rongzhan could see that Lu Xiangzhi was a promising talent. Although he was not Ye Zhen's eldest brother, in Ye Zhen's heart, he must have regarded Lu Xiangzhi as a relative. Mo Rongzhan had intended to promote him.
It was impossible for Lu Lingzhi to be the head of the Lu family, but Lu Shiming's Lu family was not bad.
"Your Majesty, is Yao Yao safe now?" Lu Xiangzhi held back for a long time and finally asked what he had always wanted to ask.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at Lu Xiangzhi. "I will protect her."
Lu Xiangzhi no longer asked.
After personally sending Mo Rongzhan out of the study, Lu Xiangzhi ordered Marquis Zhonghuai to be driven away and ordered that if he came to the yamen again to make a noise, he would be imprisoned for despising the court.
Marquis Zhonghuai only had the title of Marquis, not an official position.
Mo Rongzhan had just walked out of the study when he saw Ye Zhen coming towards him. His eyes flashed with a smile as he stepped forward and took her hand. "Come and find me."
Ye Zhen saw Lu Xiangzhi outside the study, who was giving instructions to his subordinates. "What did you say to my brother?"
"Nothing much. Let's leave Phoenix Tree City tomorrow." Mo Rongzhan held her hand and walked back.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Zhen said. "I haven't said goodbye to Master yet."
After taking Zhuo Yunyu to the yamen, Huangfu Chen went somewhere. "He might have already left this place."
Ye Zhen froze for a moment. "Why did Master leave?"
Mo Rongzhan had already guessed what was going on. He smiled faintly and said, "Your master is just that casual. He goes wherever he wants."
"Then we should say goodbye." Ye Zhen muttered, shaking Mo Rongzhan's hand as they walked back to the backyard.
Ye Yiqing was Dongqing's prime minister and Li Heng's most valued minister. Furthermore, he had helped Dongqing survive a disaster. As the emperor of Dongqing, Li Heng naturally hoped that Ye Yiqing could stay for a long time.
However, Ye Yiqing was a Jin citizen.
The best way to keep Ye Yiqing in Dongqing was to make him a citizen of Dongqing. What else could he do to make him stay here? Li Heng thought of an excellent way – to bestow him a marriage.
If Ye Yiqing married a girl from Dongqing, he would naturally take root in Dongqing.
Although Ye Yiqing already had a son and a daughter, his wife had passed away. He hadn't married for many years and had no concubines at home. He was as handsome as a banished immortal, and every girl fell in love with him. Li Heng believed that there was no girl in the capital who didn't want to marry him.
The news that Li Heng wanted to bestow Ye Yiqing a marriage had somehow spread outside the palace. When Ye Yiqing heard about it, he felt terrible.
He didn't care about Li Heng's marriage at all. In the past, he wouldn't have cared, but now he had Zhao Yang.
Thinking of the delicate little girl, Ye Yiqing's entire heart warmed. After restraining himself from women for so many years, he didn't know that he was still so impulsive. Because he hadn't officially married Zhao Yang, he didn't dare to get too excited, and he didn't dare to ask for too much in case she got pregnant.
He didn't want her to bear the burden of gossip in the future. No one in the fu dared to say a word, but outside, he really wanted to marry her as soon as possible to prevent any undue delays.
Ye Yiqing entered the palace and tactfully told Li Heng that he didn't want to get married. Li Heng insisted that this was the empress' idea and felt that it was time to find a wife for Prime Minister Ye. If there was a wife in the Prime Minister's fu, she would have to help Ye Yiqing socialize outside.
He couldn't win against the emperor, and Ye Yiqing couldn't say that he already had a little wife. Although they hadn't married yet, he had to make the matter with Zhao Yang public. Otherwise, it would be a private commitment.
His little wife had to be cherished and protected in the palm of his hand. He couldn't let anyone say anything bad about her.
Ye Yiqing returned home. After sitting in the study for a while, he couldn't resist going to find Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang wasn't willing to go to the upper room. Ever since he lost control last time and made it so that she couldn't walk the next day, she said that she wouldn't come to the upper room before they got married, and wouldn't allow him to touch her.
"Fang Zhen, where's your junzhu?" Ye Yiqing asked Fang Zhen, who was guarding the door, as he raised his feet to walk inside.
Fang Zhen stopped him, "Ye daren, our junzhu doesn't want to see you today."
Ye Yiqing's steps paused. "Why does your junzhu not feel well?"
"No, our junzhu said that Ye daren is a busy person. You're already busy enough with the affairs of the court, and now you have to choose a noble and virtuous girl to be your wife. You don't need to take time out to see her." Fang Zhen lowered her head as she spoke, but there was a hint of complaint in her voice.
It was clear that Ye daren was already together with their junzhu, but now there was news that the emperor was going to grant him a marriage.
Ye daren didn't refuse! It was unknown how hurt the junzhu was.
"Where's Zhao Yang? I want to see her." Ye Yiqing cursed in his heart. How did the news get into the fu? He had already warned that no one was allowed to gossip in front of Zhao Yang.
Fang Zhen directly closed the door. "Ye daren, please return. Our junzhu said that she doesn't want to see you."
Ye Yiqing directly slammed the door open. His face was a little gloomy as he looked at the stunned Fang Zhen. He strode into the room.
"Ye daren, Ye daren!" Fang Zhen came back to her senses and chased after him, wanting to stop him.
"Stop!" Ye Yiqing turned around and looked at her coldly.
Fang Zhen was so frightened by his sharp gaze that she didn't dare to move forward.
Ye Yiqing lifted the curtain. Just as he walked into the inner room, a coquettish voice came, "Get out!"
