1284. Chapter 1284 So That’s It

Ye Zhen has been in Beijing City for several days, but apart from observing the soldiers at the city gate when she entered the city, she has not fully appreciated the different scenery of this city, which is completely different from Nanzhou.

After handing Mingxi to Hongying, Ye Zhen lifted the curtains and looked at the scene outside. The streets here are very wide, with many tourists on the road. The prosperity is even more prosperous than that of Jin Kingdom. From time to time, soldiers patrolling the streets can be seen. Their The clothing looks simple and elegant, somewhat different from the soldiers on the battlefield.

Beijing City is indeed different.

Ye Zhen thought that if she had one hundred thousand elite soldiers from the Hua Kingdom, she would definitely be able to capture the Dongqing Kingdom.

When they arrived at Shui's house, before Ye Zhen saw Ye Yiqing, she heard that he had taken Zhaoyang out of the city and would not be back until tomorrow.

"Daddy seems to like China very much." Ye Zhen shook her head and smiled. She discovered that when she was in Nanzhou, her father showed interest in this country and seemed to like it very much.

Ye Chundong, who was left behind, said with a smile, "Second uncle has often said that he would travel all over the world. This country of China is different everywhere, of course he likes it."

"Did he only take his wife?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully.

Ye Chundong nodded, "Yes, I didn't even bring a servant."

"Then let's wait until dad comes back." Ye Zhen still wanted to come back, so she told Qi Yu about borrowing 100,000 elite soldiers. She went back to the yard arranged by Shui Yichen to play with Mingxi and Mingyu. For a while, until they fell asleep from exhaustion and she had time to think about what to do next.

In addition to needing a lot of money to buy food and grass to raise 100,000 elite soldiers, she also needs generals who can form troops. Soldiers are easy to find, but generals are rare. This is the most important thing for her to consider.

"Are you back?"

When Ye Zhen was standing in the courtyard meditating, she didn't know someone was coming behind her. She was startled when she heard the sudden voice, and turned around to see Shui Yichen standing behind her.

"There was no sound at all. If it hadn't been during the day, I would have thought it was a ghost." Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow and glanced at Shui Yichen, a little dissatisfied with his silent appearance.

"It's obvious that you were in a daze and didn't hear what the maid said." Shui Yichen snorted coldly, looking at Ye Zhen with a deep and sinister look, "Are you going to enter the palace again?"

Ye Zhen asked calmly, "Are you okay?"

Shui Yichen said coldly, "If there is no need to enter the palace, then go back to Nanzhou."

"You seem to particularly dislike Beijing City. Why?" Looking at Shui Yichen's appearance, it seems that it was not only because Qi Yu almost killed Shui Miaomiao, but Shui Miaomiao also let go of her fear, proving that she also knew about Qi Yu back then. He didn't mean to hurt her, but why was Shui Yichen so brooding?

Shui Yichen's face was not so pretty. He didn't seem to like Ye Zhen asking him this question very much, "If you don't like it, you don't like it. There is no reason. Is Shen Mengxi... her life safe?"

Shen Mengxi? Ye Zhen was keenly aware of Shui Yichen's strangeness when he mentioned this name. She had never noticed before that Shui Yichen seemed to have never called Mengxi the queen.

"It is true that her life is safe, but she is pregnant, so... I have to enter the palace tomorrow." Ye Zhen said with a smile, secretly observing Shui Yichen's expression changes.

A flash of shock flashed across Shui Yichen's cold and handsome face, but he quickly suppressed it and hid it well, "Didn't Huangfu Chen say that she has a heart condition and is not suitable to have children?"

He still remembered what Huangfu Chen said back then: Shen Mengxi's heart disease could not give birth to a child at all, otherwise it would be dangerous.

"You even know this?" Ye Zhen glanced at him.

Shui Yichen glanced at Ye Zhen coldly, "Can you cure her heart disease?"

Ye Zhen nodded gently, "He is being treated and may have to stay in Beijing City for a long time. If you want to go back to Nanzhou in the next few days, I'm afraid you will have to leave Shui Miaomiao behind."

"How long?" Shui Yichen was obviously very dissatisfied with this statement, but he still suppressed it and did not show it.

"One year." Ye Zhen said.

The word Sichuan between Shui Yichen's eyebrows became more obvious, "No, it's too long."

"It's not something you can't do just because you say no. Even if I want to go back to Nanzhou, Qi Yu won't let me leave. Miaomiao's illness hasn't healed yet. If you take her away, I won't be able to cure her, so you still have to Leave Miao Miao behind." Ye Zhen waved her hand, this was the only way.

"Where is Huangfu Chen?" Shui Yichen planned to ask Huangfu Chen. He didn't want Shui Miaomiao to stay in Beijing City for so long.

"I don't know..." Ye Zhen's clear eyes dimmed slightly. Ever since she told him about borrowing troops that day, Huangfu Chen disappeared and she has not seen him again.

Shui Yichen looked down at her, "Isn't he in the palace? Don't you know where he is?"

Ye Zhen said calmly, "The palace is so big, and he won't report to me wherever he goes."

"I understand." Shui Yichen nodded lightly, turned around and left without saying any more words.

"..." Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at his back. This man was really not an ordinary strong one.

Shui Miaomiao, who had just come out of the house, only saw Shui Yichen's back. She asked Ye Zhen doubtfully, "Sister Ye, was it my brother who came here just now? Why did he leave?"

Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Suddenly something happened again." She remembered Shui Yichen's weirdness and asked Shui Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, did you live in Beijing City before?"

Shui Miaomiao nodded, "I lived here when I was a child. My brother was often not at home at that time. Every time I saw him, he was wearing armor... Later we went to Nanzhou, where my brother was doing business. "

"You said you saw your brother wearing armor when you were a child?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise.

"It seems, I don't remember much anymore. My brother never told me about the past." Shui Miaomiao said, because the memory is too long, she can't remember it very clearly. In fact, she rarely saw her brother when she was a child. , he was often away from home, and she was raised by the servants of the family. "The person I often saw when I was a child was the Queen. Sister Mengxi was not the Queen at that time."

Ye Zhen was slightly startled. So Shui Yichen had known Shen Mengxi many years ago, so why did he act so coldly when he was in Nanzhou?

Thinking back carefully, although Shui Yichen acted like he didn't care about Shen Mengxi's illness, he still came to Beijing City. On the surface, it was because of Shui Miaomiao, but in fact, he also cared about Shen Mengxi, right?

It seems that Shui Yichen is not just a businessman.

Ye Zhen felt as happy as if she had discovered a big secret.

"Is your brother very good at martial arts?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.

"Of course, my martial arts were all taught by my brother." Shui Miaomiao said proudly.

"You know martial arts?" This is the first time Ye Zhen has heard of it.

Shui Miaomiao laughed, "None of the guards at home are my opponents."

Ye Zhen glanced at Hongying behind her, "Then you and Hongying make a gesture."
