?
Ye Yiqing only smiled faintly in the face of the Empress Dowager's rage. He didn't need the servants to chase him away and had already left Cining Palace.
When he walked out of the rear palace, Eunuch Fu was already waiting for him.
"Eunuch Fu, I'll have to trouble you to wait for me here. It seems that your Emperor is well-informed," Ye Yiqing said to Eunuch Fu with a smile.
Eunuch Fu hadn't experienced this Lord Ye's elegance, but even his Emperor respected this father-in-law. He didn't dare to put on airs in front of this person.
"His Majesty just found out that you're in the palace and specially ordered this old servant to wait for you here. He wants to invite you to rest before leaving the palace," Eunuch Fu said respectfully.
Ye Yiqing laughed. "Eunuch Fu, you really know how to talk."
"Aiyo, to be praised by Lord, I've really trained well," Eunuch Fu said with a smile.
Being able to be Mo Rongzhan's confidant was indeed a talent.
Eunuch Fu led Ye Yiqing to the imperial study. Mo Rongzhan was still reading through memorials. Because summer was coming, there were rains and floods all over the country. This was the time when natural and man-made disasters were most likely to happen. Mo Rongzhan didn't dare to relax at all.
Hearing light footsteps coming from outside, Mo Rongzhan put down the memorials in his hands. He raised his eyes slightly and saw Ye Yiqing and Eunuch Fu walking in.
Eunuch Fu bowed. "Your Majesty, this servant has invited Lord Ye."
Mo Rongzhan stood up. "Father-in-law seems to have a lot of free time today."
Ye Yiqing cupped his hands and said faintly, "Time is squeezed out."
"I wonder if the trip to Cining Palace satisfied Father-in-law?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"I'm quite satisfied, but I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager won't be very satisfied." She was so angry that she was about to explode. She would probably complain to Mo Rongzhan soon.
Mo Rongzhan shook his head with a bitter smile. "Even zhen can't satisfy the Empress Dowager, let alone you."
"Yao Yao suspects that the Empress Dowager was hypnotized. What do you think?" Ye Yiqing originally wanted to know if the Empress Dowager entered the palace under hypnosis. Unfortunately, he couldn't see it.
"Ye Yaoyao?" Mo Rongzhan frowned. "She's already dead. It's impossible for her to hypnotize the Empress Dowager."
Mo Rongzhan had never heard of hypnosis before and always felt that it was inconceivable. He even doubted how effective it was. But to say that the Empress Dowager was hypnotized by Ye Yaoyao, he felt that it was somewhat impossible. After all, Ye Yaoyao had very few opportunities at that time.
"What about before you die? You should know that hypnosis will not end with the death of the hypnotist, "Ye Yiqing said.
"If the Empress Dowager is really hypnotized, then what should we do?" If this was the reason why the Empress Dowager had changed so much recently, then he could only find a way to solve it.
Ye Yiqing waved his hand. "I don't know hypnosis, so how would I know? Ye Yaoyao definitely wasn't born with it. Someone must have taught her. Once we find out who taught her, I believe that Empress Dowager's problem will be solved easily."
Mo Rongzhan nodded. "I will send someone to the Wilderness to ask around."
"I think the Empress Dowager is about to come to find you, so I'll go back first, lest the Empress Dowager sees me. She'll be furious again."
At the thought of having to deal with the Empress Dowager, Mo Rongzhan felt a throbbing headache.
Sure enough, not long after Ye Yiqing left, the Empress Dowager personally came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to find Mo Rongzhan.
Hearing the Empress Dowager scolding Ye Yiqing for his rudeness, she finally said breathlessly, "… Your Majesty, look at this father and daughter. They are not good people at all. I don't know how they will harm the Jin Kingdom in the future. Do you really want an Empress like this?"
Mo Rongzhan wanted to say that Ye Yiqing was actually right, but he knew that if he said so, his mother would definitely be so angry that she would vomit blood.
"Mother, he was just anxious about his daughter, so he said those harsh words. Please don't take it to heart," Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
"Why do I feel that he is implying something? He is clearly threatening me," the Empress Dowager cried. "No matter what, I can't swallow this anger."
Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice, "Then what do you want me to do? Kill Ye Yiqing? Not to mention that he is the future father-in-law, with his current identity, if anything happens to him in the Jin Kingdom, Li Hang will definitely go to war with us. Mother, we have just fought with the Northern Underworld Kingdom, and the national treasury is not abundant. If we fight with Dongqing at this time, the Northern Underworld Kingdom will definitely take advantage of the situation. In the end, the Jin Kingdom will only end up being destroyed. Is this what you want to see? "
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment. She just wanted to teach Ye Yiqing a lesson. How could it be so complicated? "Do you want me to swallow this anger?"
"Then what do you want to do, Mother?" Mo Rongzhan asked. If she didn't want the Empress's decree, would Ye Yiqing come to the palace?
The Empress Dowager felt a surge of anger in her chest. She wanted to vent, but she couldn't. It made her feel uncomfortable. She really didn't know what to do with Ye Yiqing. Compared to the Jin Nation, everything seemed to be unimportant.
Mo Rongzhan held the Empress Dowager's hand. "Mother, in the future, Ye Yiqing will give in. What does it matter if you suffer a loss once?"
The Empress Dowager thought for a long time and then nodded. "I will remember today."
"Yes, zhen will remember, too." Mo Rongzhan said. "Fude, send the Empress Dowager back to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful."
Although she swallowed this anger, the Empress Dowager's mood didn't improve. She felt very gloomy all day. She always felt that there was fire in her heart but she couldn't spit it out. This made the maids in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful become careful, for fear that they would accidentally make the Empress Dowager unhappy.
Yao Ye massaged the Empress Dowager's shoulders and said with a low smile, "Why is the Empress Dowager so angry? The Emperor will definitely marry Lu Yaoyao into the palace. When she becomes the Empress, won't she be your daughter-in-law? Since ancient times, all daughters-in-law have to listen to their mother-in-law. Doesn't Ye Yiqing love his daughter? In the future, when his daughter falls into your hands, won't she still have to bow to you? "
These words enlightened the Empress Dowager and she suddenly became clear. "You're right. Why should I be angry at this time? The best is yet to come."
"Isn't it? When the time comes, Lu Yaoyao will have to pay respects to you every day. If you tell her to go east, will she dare to go west? A crime of being unfilial is enough to make her a useless Empress. "Yao Ye said with a smile.
The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile. "Yes, yes, you're smart."
"This servant feels sorry for the Empress Dowager. It's not worth it to anger yourself." The corner of Yao Ye's mouth curled up into a dark smile. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager didn't see her expression.
"The Emperor must be possessed. Otherwise, why would he marry no one but her?" The Empress Dowager snorted coldly. "Forget it. If I continue to stop her, the mother-son relationship between me and the Emperor will be affected. Let's just wait and see. When Lu Yaoyao enters the palace, I have many ways to deal with her."
