"Let's go back!" Liu Zhihua suddenly turned around and walked out of the pavilion without any reluctance.
Just as she turned around, Ye Zhen and Hu Yue 'er slowly walked out along the bluestone path.
"Hey, who is that person?" Hu Yue 'er looked at Liu Zhihua's back and asked curiously.
Ye Rou looked up and saw a slender figure. "Maybe she's out for a stroll. Who agreed?"
Hu Yue 'er was suspicious. She didn't seem to have seen this person in the palace. Besides, no one had agreed to stroll around the Imperial Garden like this.
"Niang niang, that seems to be the Empress Dowager's Jin Ping." Dai Mei's sharp eyes discovered that one of the two people who turned and left was Jin Ping.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked over. The two people had gone further and further away. She could only see a vague outline and could not see whether it was Jin Ping or not.
Hu Yue 'er looked at Ye Zhen cautiously. She heard that the Empress Dowager was not as good as before. It seemed that she didn't like the Empress very much. If the palace maid was really the Empress Dowager's maid, then … who was that woman?
"Go back." Ye Zhen said faintly, her eyes calm and indifferent.
Hu Yue 'er obediently followed behind her. Although she was suspicious, she did not dare to say it out loud.
When they arrived at the Pure Flowers Palace, Ye Zhen asked someone to find lavender for Hu Yue 'er. Without leaving her to speak, Hu Yue' er bowed and left.
"Go and inquire who entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager today." Ye Zhen whispered to Hong Ying.
Hong Ying agreed in a low voice.
"Empress, should we place these books in the study?" asked Hong Ling.
Ye Zhen said, "Let Lu He call a few little eunuchs to come in and move it to the study. You have been carrying it for a long time. Your hands must be tired."
"There are so many medical books. How long would it take for Her Highness to finish reading them all?" Hong Ling said with a smile.
"Take your time. We'll finish it eventually," Ye Zhen said with a smile.
After a while, Lu He came in to report that he had moved all the books to the study and brought another piece of news, "… Your Ladyship, General Ye is outside asking to see you."
Ye Zhen froze for a moment. Why did her brother come to see her at this time? "Let General Ye come in."
Lu He went back to invite Ye Chunnan in.
Ye Chunnan walked in decisively from the outside with a look of displeasure on his face.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Ye Zhen rarely saw such an expression on her brother's face and asked curiously.
"I scolded the Minister of War today and even beat up the Assistant Minister of War," Ye Chunnan said in a muffled voice.
"…" Ye Zhen was speechless for a while. "Brother, you scolded and beat them, and now you're venting your anger on me?"
Ye Chunnan glanced at her. "Would I dare to vent my anger on you? If you want to vent your anger, it's on those bastards from the Ministry of War. "
"What the hell happened?" Ye Zhen asked helplessly. Her brother was not a hot-tempered person. He must have endured to the extreme if he hit someone.
"Our Light Cavalry Battalion needs winter cotton-padded jackets and food. The people of the Ministry of War delayed it again and again, especially the Assistant Minister of War, who transferred the portion of our barracks to other barracks. When I went to the Ministry of War to settle accounts, they refused to admit it. Humph, I know they did it on purpose, a bunch of old farts." Ye Chunnan snorted coldly.
When Ye Chunnan became the Light Cavalry General, she knew that he would face many difficulties, because many people in the court did not want to see the Ye family revive, let alone the empress's family power.
"This should be a small matter for you." Ye Zhen said.
Ye Chunnan snorted coldly. "It is indeed a small matter, but I am not happy that the Ministry of War deducts the things of our barracks every time. This kind of thing will become a habit."
"You beat the Assistant Minister of War, and then?" Ye Zhen asked.
"He took me to the Emperor." Ye Chunnan said faintly, "The Emperor called the Minister of War to reprimand him. Of course, he also reprimanded me, saying that I should not have beaten people."
Ye Zhen said amusedly, "Shouldn't you reprimand him?"
Ye Chunnan said, "I didn't say that the Emperor can't reprimand me, but if there is a next time, I will continue to beat people."
"Brother, you were not so impulsive before." Ye Zhen said angrily.
"That's because I didn't have to do it before. Someone else has already done it for me." Ye Chunnan sneered. Although he felt that life was more free and unfettered now, he did not think that the past was bad.
Ye Zhen knew that her brother did not come to ask her for anything. She said helplessly, "Brother, how are you doing in the Light Cavalry Camp?"
"It's all the same in the barracks." Ye Chunnan said with a smile and looked up at Ye Zhen. "Yao Yao, how are you in the palace? I heard that the Empress Dowager gave you a hard time when she returned to the palace? "
"Where did you hear that?" Ye Zhen frowned. Was it so easy for things in the palace to spread outside the palace?
Ye Chunnan looked at the palace maids around him. Ye Zhen raised her hand and dismissed Hong Ling and the others.
"Brother, can you tell me now? It's only been a few days since the Empress Dowager returned to the palace. How did you know that she gave me a hard time so soon? Your news is really fast. "Ye Zhen squinted at Ye Chunnan and asked.
"Ahem." Ye Chunnan covered his mouth and coughed softly. "When father left, he was worried that you would not adapt to the palace, so … he kept an eye on you. If you were wronged, someone would tell me."
Ye Zhen smiled. "It turned out to be an informer. No wonder."
"It has nothing to do with me. If you want to settle accounts, go to father." Ye Chunnan immediately cleared himself.
"Who is it?" Ye Zhen asked.
"I don't know, really." Ye Chunnan looked sincere. "Empress, don't change the subject. What did the Empress Dowager do to you?"
Ye Zhen said, "She didn't do anything to me. She is just hypnotized now."
"Even if you are hypnotized, do you have to bear all the things she did to you?" Ye Chunnan asked unhappily. He didn't care whether the Empress Dowager was hypnotized or not. In his opinion, the Empress Dowager was courting death.
"I don't intend to bear it." Ye Zhen said, looking up at Ye Chunnan. "Brother, don't worry about me. I have a sense of propriety."
Ye Chunnan said, "You used to say the same thing."
Ye Zhen asked with a wry smile, "Brother, don't always talk about me. You are staying in the capital now. What about Jin Shanshan?"
"She is now my deputy general." Ye Chunnan said, "She used to be a general in the Beiming Kingdom. Now, she is more than qualified to be a deputy general."
"Deputy general?" Ye Zhen's eyes widened in surprise. "No woman in the Jin Kingdom has ever been able to go to the military camp as a deputy general."
Ye Chunnan was silent for a moment. "She will prove with her strength that some men are not as good as her."
"It seems that something has happened." Ye Zhen said immediately, "Someone wants to deal with Jin Shanshan?"
