1301. Chapter 1301 Stay
Ye Zhen really wanted to know what they had experienced at sea. They were supposed to come back two months ago, but they had been delayed until now. If they hadn't encountered something at sea, it would have been impossible for them to come back now.
"We have been going smoothly. We found the place on the map. We stayed on the boat and your father took his people into the mountains so that no one knew what they were looking for. On the way back, some people couldn't resist the temptation. We Several traitors appeared on the way... Not long after we killed them, we encountered pirates." Shui Yichen told Ye Zhen everything he experienced at sea.
"Those people colluded with the pirates?" Ye Zhen asked with a stern face. She did not ask whose subordinates those traitors were. They were all on the same ship. It didn't make sense no matter whose subordinates they were. A traitor is a traitor.
Shui Yichen said, "Probably not, it's just a coincidence. However, because we encountered a storm, we veered off course, so it took so long to come back."
Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "It'll be good to come back safely."
"Why don't you ask if the thing you are looking for is still there?" Shui Yichen asked calmly.
They went through all kinds of troubles to find the treasure, but wasn't she worried that all the gold and silver treasures would be stolen by pirates?
Ye Zhen glanced at him lightly, "I thought you would protect those things."
Shui Yichen snorted coldly, "That's easy to say. Do you know how many men I lost because of this?"
"I don't know, you didn't say anything." Ye Zhen said.
"Now that you have got what you want, it is in Nanzhou. No one except me and your father's people knows what it is." Shui Yichen raised his eyes and looked at her, "Are you planning to leave China? ?”
Ye Zhen didn't know what Ye Yiqing found, but no matter what it was, she already planned to go back.
"Yes, it's time for me to leave." Ye Zhen whispered. It has been more than a year. If she doesn't go back, Mo Rongzhan might really forget her.
Shui Yichen just glanced at her and said nothing more.
Ye Zhen went to find Ye Yiqing after Shui Yichen left.
Zhaoyang just woke up and opened her eyes to see Ye Yiqing sitting on the edge of the bed holding her child. She was a little confused and thought she had fallen asleep. Why did she dream that Ye Yiqing was back.
"Are you awake?" Ye Yiqing looked at her with a smile, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Are you hungry? Yaoyao, let someone prepare something for you, eat something first."
What a real feeling! Zhaoyang looked at Ye Yiqing blankly.
Ye Yiqing had already ordered the maid to bring meals in. Zhaoyang was indeed hungry. She thought she must have been so hungry that she saw Ye Yiqing.
"Zhaoyang, thank you for giving birth to my son." Ye Yiqing watched Zhaoyang sip soup one mouthful at a time, the smile in his eyes became more obvious.
"Son..." Zhaoyang paused for a moment. She had forgotten that she had just given birth to a child not long ago.
Ye Yiqing brought the child in his arms to Zhaoyang, "Look, he just drank milk and has fallen asleep."
"Is this the son I gave birth to?" Zhaoyang asked softly, tears almost falling, "Are you serious too? Are you back?"
"Yes, I originally wanted to come back before you gave birth, but I was late." Ye Yiqing said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhaoyang threw herself into his arms, "It'll be good if you come back, it'll be good if you come back."
Ye Yiqing smiled and comforted her, "You can't cry during confinement, otherwise your eyes will be red in the future."
"Where did you hear this?" Zhaoyang glared at him. Although he didn't believe what he said, he still stopped crying and held the child in his arms. "I will definitely look like you when I grow up."
"Well, wouldn't it be nice to be like me?" Ye Yiqing said with a smile.
Zhaoyang glared at him gently again. The two looked at the child and talked in detail for a while. Zhaoyang felt sleepy again. Ye Yiqing handed the child to the maid and let Zhaoyang lie down and sleep again.
Ye Yiqing came to the hall to see Ye Zhen.
"Daddy!" As soon as Ye Zhen saw him, she ran over and hugged his arm with red eyes, "I'm really worried about you."
"I'm fine." Ye Yiqing smiled and patted Ye Zhen on the shoulder, "We found the things Qi Yanling left behind. They are all gold. I brought back twenty boxes."
Ye Zhen raised her head in surprise, "Gold?"
"It should be the treasure that Qi Yanling left for her descendants." I have to admit that Qi Yanling thought very carefully. Leaving anything behind is more practical than leaving gold.
"Twenty boxes of gold..." Ye Zhen asked quietly, "are they all in Nanzhou?"
Ye Yiqing caressed Ye Zhen's hair, "Yes, everything left on the warship is yours. Yaoyao, do you plan to return to Jin Kingdom first, or go directly to Dongqing Kingdom?"
"Go to Dongqing Kingdom." Ye Zhen said without hesitation. If she went to Jin Kingdom first, the elite soldiers and gold and silver she brought would become an embarrassment.
"Okay." Ye Yiqing was obviously very satisfied with her decision.
Ye Zhen raised her head and looked at him, "Dad, do you... want to stay?"
When Ye Yiqing was about to go to sea to find treasure, Ye Zhen felt that her father didn't want to go back with her. He wanted to stay here with Zhaoyang.
"Yaoyao, you can do very well without me." Ye Yiqing whispered, "After you get Dongqing Kingdom, don't hand over the sovereignty of the country, and let the royal family and courtiers of Dongqing Kingdom submit to you."
"The royal family of Dongqing Kingdom will not bow down so easily." Ye Zhen said that after she obtained Dongqing Kingdom, she would certainly not hand over her sovereignty.
Ye Yiqing smiled and said in Ye Zhen's ear, "The prince of Dongqing Kingdom is a little girl."
"What?" Ye Zhen's eyes widened in shock.
"Only Queen Fang knows about this. You can use your identity as the crown prince to control Dongqing Kingdom." Ye Yiqing said.
Ye Zhen was silent for a moment, "Dad, then I will go into the palace to say goodbye to Sister Mengxi."
"Let's go tomorrow." Ye Yiqing said, "You are also tired today."
The news that Ye Yiqing and Shui Yichen were back soon spread to the palace. Shen Mengxi was happy but also a little regretful. She knew that Yaoyao would not be in Beijing City for long, and she might leave in the next two days.
"She lent us so many elite soldiers. She won't just leave like this. She will come back in the future." Qi Yu sounded a little unhappy when he thought about Ye Zhen taking away so many soldiers.
"You can't just give her soldiers, you must also give her the generals who lead the troops in the war, as well as food and grass..." Shen Mengxi was still worried about her sister. In her opinion, Yaoyao was so cute and protective that she couldn't help it. He can lead troops to fight.
Qi Yu was speechless for a while, then whispered, "You really have plans for her."
"If it weren't for Yaoyao, would Yuanyuan and I still be there?" Shen Mengxi's words left Qi Yu with no room for refutation.
