After a few days, there was still no news of Huang Fuchen. Xue Lin's investigation of Qi Jin's husband was also fruitless. Qi Jin had no marriage record in the yamen. Since the previous dynasty, all men and women needed to register their marriage in the yamen, but Qi Jin did not.
However, she had a little boy who was said to be her grandson. Ye Zhen had met him in the past. The child had a congenital disease. She had fed him with spirit spring water and had not heard any news of him for years.
"Medical Officer Qi should be back in these two days. If she returns to the capital, let her enter the palace to see me." Ye Zhen ordered Hong Ying in a low voice.
"This slave will give the order." Hong Ying said.
Dai Mei came in from the outside, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Madam has handed over the card to enter the palace."
Ye Zhen's gloomy eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, "Mother is here, please invite her into the palace."
Pei Shi missed her son and daughter every day, but her son was far away in Feng Wu City. Although her daughter was in the capital, she lived in the depths of the palace. Even if she wanted to visit them often, she could not. If it was not an urgent matter, she would not enter the palace easily.
After a while, Dai Mei led Pei Shi over.
"This official's wife greets Your Highness." Seeing her daughter, Pei Shi's eyes showed a gentle smile. When she wanted to bend her knees and salute, Ye Zhen held her.
Ye Zhen held Pei Shi's hand and said, "Mother, you don't have to salute me when you come here. There are no outsiders here."
"You are now the Empress, it is only right for me to salute you." Pei Shi said with a smile, looking up at her daughter carefully. A while ago, there was a rumor in the capital that the Empress was not pregnant after entering the palace for so long. She worried for a long time at home and wanted to enter the palace several times, but was persuaded by her husband. Today, seeing her daughter's clear eyes, not looking like she was trapped by this matter, her heart was at ease.
"That's for outsiders to see." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Mother, how is father's health recently? He just entered the cabinet, he should be busy with a lot of things."
There wasn't a woman who didn't want her husband to marry into the palace. Pei shi was naturally happy. "How can he not be busy? Every day, I have to urge him to turn off the lights and rest. Your father is like this. Whenever something happens, he can't wait to get it done in one day."
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "He is always busy at the beginning, but later, he will be fine. You should pay more attention and don't let him be too busy."
Pei Shi held Ye Zhen's hand, "Yao Yao, how about you in the palace? I was worried to death a while ago. Your father didn't let me enter the palace to comfort you. Mother knows what kind of temperament you have. Aren't you just a few beauties? As long as the emperor's heart is with you, it's fine, so that people outside won't gossip about you."
"Mother, why did you say such a thing to me? Did you forget that when I first returned to the capital, the old lady sent my father's former maid back? Didn't you feel sad?" Ye Zhen said faintly. "Let me push the emperor to other women. Don't talk about spoiling them, even looking at them makes me feel sad." "Mother, why did you say such a thing to me?
"You …" Pei Shi was distressed. "Your father is an ordinary man. I am not afraid of anything, but he is the emperor. Mother is worried about you."
Ye Zhen smiled, "Mother, don't worry. If the emperor really wants to set up a concubine, it's useless for me to stop him."
Pei shi sighed softly. Ever since she returned to the capital, she felt that her daughter had become much smarter. Sometimes, she couldn't see through her. "I can't outtalk you. No matter what, it's fine as long as you are safe."
"Mother, you came to the palace today to tell me this?" Ye Zhen asked, amused.
"Oh, there is one more thing." Pei Shi became serious, remembering that this time she went to the palace for another matter. "Do you remember Mister Dan?"
Ye Zhen was slightly startled, "What happened to Mister Dan?"
How could she not remember Mister Shan? In her two lifetimes, Mister Shan was her teacher. She would definitely remember him.
"Mister Dan returned to the capital and learned that you have become the empress. He came home yesterday and said he wanted to see you." Pei Shi said.
Ye Zhen was really surprised this time. Mister Dan had returned for so many years without any news. "When did Mister Dan come back?"
"It was two days ago. If you don't want to see him, I will go back to him." Pei Shi said. At the beginning, she asked Mister Dan to be her daughter's teacher, so she felt that she owed him a favor. Today, she came to the palace to ask Ye Zhen.
"Yes, I want to see Mister Dan." Ye Zhen said in a low voice. She remembered that Mister Shan and Huang Fuchen had a relationship. It was because of Huang Fuchen that Mister Shan was willing to become her teacher. These years, Mister Shan's whereabouts were unknown, but he appeared when her master disappeared, which made people a little suspicious of her.
Pei Shi smiled, "Well, I will go back and arrange for Mister Dan to enter the palace to see you."
Ye Zhen nodded gently, "Mother, have you solved the problem with the Liu family?"
"There is no need for me to do anything. Since Liu Zhihua became a female official, the Liu family did not come to the door again. I also deliberately probed them, but they refused to see me, let alone talk about marriage." Pei Shi snorted coldly. She was sincere at that time, but it turned out that she was used.
"Mother, eldest brother's marriage should wait for him to come back. He must like it." Ye Zhen said, thinking that Pei Shi must be too bored at home to put all her thoughts on her eldest brother's marriage.
Pei Shi said, "Why are you saying the same thing as your father? Does your eldest brother not like the girl I choose?"
Ye Zhen chuckled, "Mother, that's not what I mean."
"Yao Yao …" Pei Shi sighed and looked at Ye Zhen awkwardly, "I heard about Yan Zhi. He is still alive. It must be the old madam who is blessing him."
"Mother, Lu Lingzhi can live because he was saved. Now he is a traitor of the Jin Kingdom, and I also have a deep hatred for him. If it were not for the emperor, he might have killed me in the White Dragon River that day." Ye Zhen said faintly. No matter who begged for mercy for Lu Lingzhi, it was useless.
Pei Shi sighed softly when she heard this. "I thought that if he turned over a new leaf, then I would let him live. After all, he is the eldest son of the Lu family."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Mother, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Who can save his life?"
"That's also true." Pei Shi shook her head and sighed. It all depended on how long Lu Lingzhi's life would last.
"Mother, don't worry about his affairs." Ye Zhen said.
Pei Shi nodded, "Well, well, I won't ask about it in the future. Anyway, I can't do anything about it. Your father has advised me that this road is chosen by Yan Zhi himself, and no one can help him.
Lu Shiming really saw things more thoroughly than Pei Shi.
