?
Mo Rongzhan knew that Ye Yiqing was back before he entered the city. He could understand the reason why Ye Yiqing came back this time. His most beloved daughter was going to marry the man who had let her down in the past. If he didn't come, it would be a problem.
He didn't worry about anything else, but he was worried that Ye Yiqing would persuade Ye Zhen. What if he regretted marrying his daughter to him?
No, he had to see Ye Yiqing in person tonight to make sure that he would not obstruct his wedding with Ye Zhen.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked you to go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful." Eunuch Fu came in and whispered to Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly. What did the Empress Dowager want to see him for? Thinking of the last time he refused to accompany her to Hu Guo Temple, she didn't give Yao Yao a good face. Seeing that Yao Yao was about to enter the palace, he couldn't bear to see her suffer any grievances.
"Then let's go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful." Mo Rongzhan said lightly and strode out of the palace.
When he arrived at the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, the palace maid named Yao Ye was not in the hall. Mo Rongzhan smiled and sat down beside the Empress Dowager. "Mother, what can I do for you?"
The Empress Dowager glanced at Mo Rongzhan and sighed. "Your Majesty, I heard that Ye Yiqing returned to the capital at this time?"
It turned out to be this! Mo Rongzhan said with a smile, "His daughter is about to get married. He came back to see Yao Yao marry me with his own eyes. What's wrong with returning to the capital at this time?"
"Do you really not have any grudges against Ye Yiqing? The Ye family perished because of you. How can there be no hatred in his heart? Even if we don't talk about the confiscation of the family property, Ye Zhen's matter must be his hatred. Can he let it go? "The Empress Dowager asked worriedly.
Mo Rongzhan smiled. "Mother, you think too much. If Ye Yiqing had hatred in his heart, he wouldn't have waited so long. Didn't you say that he was different from Ye Yisong and sent someone to save him?"
"The past is the past. Now it's different." How could she know that Ye Yiqing had a daughter named Lu Yaoyao before? She didn't know that Ye Yiqing could become the Prime Minister of Dongqing. If Ye Yiqing lived incognito for a lifetime, she would naturally not be suspicious, but now she had to be.
"Mother!" Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, "I don't think there's anything different. Ye Yiqing didn't do anything wrong, and I don't want to suspect him because of an unknown variable in the future, let alone Yaoyao."
The Empress Dowager was furious. "Have you lost your mind? What if … what if Yaoyao hurts you in future? "
Mo Rongzhan smiled helplessly, "Mother, why would Yaoyao hurt us? Are you suspecting Ye Yiqing or Yaoyao? "
"Ai Jia is worried that in the future, Ye Yiqing will use the father-daughter relationship with Yao Yao to do something bad to the emperor. Whether it is the Ye family or Ye Zhen, it is a knot between you."
"I don't think that this is a knot between me and Yaoyao. Instead, the knot in mother's heart is becoming more and more serious," said Mo Rongzhan in a deep voice.
The Empress Dowager said, "I am indeed very worried."
"Mother, what exactly do you want to say? Why don't you just say it?" Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly. After hearing this, it seemed that the Empress Dowager had not said what she wanted to say the most.
"Will you listen to what I say?" The Empress Dowager asked angrily.
Mo Rongzhan said, "As long as what you say makes sense, I will naturally listen."
The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed, "Your Majesty, I can treat Yaoyao as my daughter, but I can't treat her as a daughter-in-law."
"Oh, does the Empress Dowager mean that I don't want to make Yaoyao the empress?" Mo Rongzhan asked lightly. It seemed that the Empress Dowager's treatment of Yaoyao was really different from before, but this was not a matter of daughter or daughter-in-law. The Empress Dowager did not like Yaoyao at all.
"Your Majesty, I know that you have never really liked a woman in your life. Yaoyao is the only one you have moved, but compared to your own safety, is it more important than your kingdom?"
Mo Rongzhan silently looked at the Empress Dowager for a while, "It turns out that in mother's mind, my kingdom can be threatened by a woman? Then aren't we even more useless than the late emperor? At the very least, the late emperor didn't lose his empire even after being fooled by a treacherous official like Ye Yisong. We merely want to marry Yao Yao, yet mother is so worried. Does mother think that we are weak and incompetent? "
The Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, that's not what aijia meant."
"Then what does mother mean?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice, "You doubt Yaoyao's sincerity towards me and suspect that Ye Yisong has ill intentions. What else can you believe?"
"Aijia is worried because of you. Since Your Majesty does not appreciate it, aijia will not say it in the future," the Empress Dowager said coldly.
Mo Rongzhan stood up and nodded lightly, "The Empress Dowager is spending her remaining years in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. You really should not worry too much. As for my safety and my kingdom, zhen is still confident that I will not become worse than the former emperor just because I married Yaoyao."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's heart ached with anger. Who didn't know what kind of person the former emperor was? How could her son compare to the former emperor? But she could not find anything else to refute Mo Rongzhan, "The Emperor has not married the Empress and is already partial to her. In the future, he will not care about aijia."
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly, "Mother, don't worry. Zhen and the Empress will be filial to you."
The Empress Dowager's face turned cold and she snorted heavily.
"I still have work to do. I will not disturb mother's rest." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. He always thought that the Empress Dowager would be very happy that Yaoyao became the Empress and would get along well with her. Now it seemed that he was wrong. The Empress Dowager misunderstood Yaoyao too much.
As for whether Ye Yiqing would take revenge, Mo Rongzhan felt that the Empress Dowager did not understand Ye Yiqing. If Ye Yiqing really wanted to take revenge, he would not marry Yaoyao to him. This was a man who would not use his daughter as a pawn.
"Go, go, go. You don't need to come to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful anymore." The Empress Dowager angrily chased Mo Rongzhan away.
Mo Rongzhan did not hesitate and turned to leave.
After a while, Shao Ye walked out of the inner hall. Seeing the Empress Dowager's angry look, she hurriedly comforted her, "Empress Dowager, please calm down. Your health is the most important thing. Don't be angry."
The Empress Dowager shouted angrily, "Look at the Emperor's attitude. He does not care about aijia anymore."
Shao Ye patted the Empress Dowager's back and said softly, "The Emperor must respect you. He was just deceived for a while."
"Lu Yaoyao has not entered the palace yet. Aijia and the Emperor are not on good terms. If she enters the palace, it will be terrible!" The Empress Dowager grabbed Shao Ye's hand, "Is there any way? Aijia does not want to see Lu Yaoyao again. "
She did not want to see her in the palace.
