Zhou State was in danger. If Yun Bahe was willing to step in, there might still be a chance.
"Sheng 'er, you don't have to persuade grandfather anymore. Zhou State's dynasty isn't a good person. Ye Chengtian is worse than a beast. Ye Beiming didn't even send a message. I almost killed this father and son with my own hands," Yun Bahe said angrily.
Ye Chengtian, that old fellow, humiliated Yun Bahe.
Yun Bahe was filled with regret.
It was all his fault for being blind. He had believed Ye Beiming's good words and thought that Ye Beiming would be more decent. He didn't expect him to abandon his precious granddaughter on his wedding day.
He had thought that his granddaughter would be able to find a good man. In a few years, he would have a big fat great-grandchild to hug. Now, his granddaughter was married in name, but he did not even know where she had run off to.
Wasn't she living like a widow?
"Grandfather, Sheng 'er can't explain Beiming's matter to you in a short time, but Sheng' er promises that he isn't a heartless person. He didn't abandon Sheng 'er. I believe that he's just in trouble. One day, he will come back. While he's not here, Sheng 'er will protect Zhou State well. He used the country as a betrothal gift, so I'll return it to him. "Yun Sheng's words made Yun Bahe speechless.
Ye Beiming had promised to protect Empress Dowager Wenren and the little emperor for life.
Since Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming had already bowed to heaven and earth, then she was his wife.
No matter whether he came back or not, she would wait for him.
She would keep his vow.
At that moment, Yun Sheng's eyes were filled with determination.
Yun Bahe heaved a long sigh.
"Forget it, Sheng 'er, your grandfather has lived his whole life. Why should I care about grudges? It's already your generation's world now. But as long as you want to do it, I will do it for you. As long as I'm still alive. "
It was also because of this that Yun Bahe had returned to Zhou State's imperial court and caused that scene earlier.
After learning that it was Yun Sheng who persuaded Yun Bahe to come out of retirement, Empress Dowager Wenren shed tears of gratitude. She brought the little emperor, Ye Beicheng, to the Yun residence to thank Yun Sheng.
"Empress Dowager, there's no need to bow. Personally, I am a citizen of Zhou State. If Zhou State is in trouble, I should help. Yu Gong, I am Ye Beiming's wife. The wife pays her husband's debts. I will help him fulfill the promise he made that day. However, there are conditions for my help. "Yun Sheng stared at Empress Dowager Wenren and the little emperor.
Especially the little Emperor, he only felt that there was a terrifying power in Yun Sheng's eyes, which made him afraid.
Empress Dowager Wenren's heart tightened. She had met Yun Sheng several times. Her impression of Yun Sheng was only that she was Ye Beiming's beloved and the boss of Ci Entang.
But today, when she saw Yun Sheng, she only felt that this woman was extraordinary.
In just a few days, she was able to recover from Ye Beiming's disappearance. It could be seen that she was not an ordinary person.
Because of Ye Beiming's wedding ceremony, Yun Sheng still wore a young girl's hair bun, but there was a natural aura of a king between her eyebrows.
Empress Dowager Wenren looked at Yun Sheng, who was seven or eight years younger than her, and only felt that she was facing Ye Beiming.
The two were so similar. They both had a heroic spirit that could swallow the rivers and mountains.
After pondering for a moment, thinking of the situation in Zhou State, Empress Dowager Wenren agreed, "Consort Prince Regent, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."
"First, since I am reorganizing the court on behalf of my husband, I must have the same absolute power as him. From now on, I am the Prince Regent of Zhou State." As soon as Yun Sheng said this, Empress Dowager Wenren's face changed slightly.
But she still gritted her teeth and nodded.
Ye Beiming was not here. His power was controlled by Yun Sheng, so there was nothing wrong with it.
"Second, I want to give the little emperor to me." Yun Sheng looked at Ye Beicheng with a sharp gaze.
Ye Beicheng, who looked like a carved jade, looked like he rarely experienced wind and rain. When he met Yun Sheng's gaze, he immediately shrank into Empress Dowager Wenren's arms as if he was burned by fire.
He muttered, "Mother, I don't want to leave you. I don't want to follow this woman."
A child's intuition was always the most accurate. Ye Beicheng only felt that if he followed Yun Sheng, he would not have a good life.
Empress Dowager Wenren was also unwilling. She comforted Ye Beicheng and refused politely, "Consort Prince Regent, this request is too difficult. I only have one child, Beicheng. He is too young to leave me. "
In the end, Empress Dowager Wenren still did not completely trust Yun Sheng and the Yun Residence.
Earlier, Elder Chen had misled the public and slandered her, saying that the Prince Regent's disappearance might be related to the Yun Residence.
Some people even said that Later Qin's Emperor Dugu came alone and had a secret talk with Yun Sheng.
Empress Dowager Wenren could not help but think of the rumors between Yun Sheng and Later Qin's Emperor Dugu Xiu.
If she handed the little emperor over to Yun Sheng, no one could guarantee that she would not use the emperor to command Zhou State.
"Empress Dowager, there is no need to force yourself if you are unwilling. Grandfather and I will leave Yujing today. You can think of a way to solve Zhou State's crisis." Yun Sheng had already expected that Empress Dowager Wenren would not agree.
"Princess Consort, you are threatening me!" Empress Dowager Wenren was like a tigress whose whiskers had been touched. She glared at Yun Sheng angrily.
"Yes, I am threatening you. Empress Dowager Wenren, don't put on airs in front of me. I, Yun Sheng, have never been afraid of any imperial power. When Ye Chengtian was around, I was not afraid. Now, what is there for me to be afraid of in Zhou State? I am taking the little emperor away for your own good. Look at his useless appearance. Even if there was no rebellion, he is just a useless piece of trash, "Yun Sheng scolded coldly.
Yun Sheng knew very well that she would not stay in Zhou State for the rest of her life.
She needed to investigate the ancient Qilin curse and the whereabouts of her mother, Hu Jiusheng.
Zhou State needed an unyielding emperor, not an emperor who tugged at the Empress Dowager's sleeves all day long.
Empress Dowager Wenren's eyes reddened when she heard this.
As the Empress Dowager, no one had said such words to her for many years.
However, she was also awakened by Yun Sheng's scolding.
If she did not learn to let go, Cheng 'er would probably be a flower in a greenhouse for the rest of her life.
There was a limit to her power. She could not watch over Cheng 'er for the rest of her life.
Empress Dowager Wenren's eyes were red and she could not say a word.
The little emperor, Ye Beicheng, bit his tender lips. Like an angered cub, he rushed forward. "I am not mud. You are a bad woman. You are not allowed to insult mother."
However, before he could rush forward, he tripped. Rows of thorns appeared on the ground.
Ye Beicheng was shocked at first, but he still tried his best to avoid the thorns. After dodging a few times, he was already panting.
There were also many cuts on his legs.
However, this time, Ye Beicheng did not cry and complain, nor did he ask Empress Dowager Wenren for help.
He wanted to prove that he was not mud.
