1387. Chapter 1387 Resentment

Zhao Rao's eyes did not hide his resentment towards him. Zhao Yong was shocked. This was the first time he saw such clear and direct hatred in Zhao Rao's eyes. He had never realized so clearly before that this daughter I hate him.

"When did I say that you were just fabricating it?" Zhao Yong asked with a frown, anger welling up in his chest. This anger at not being trusted by his daughter had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

"When my mother died, I told you that it was Concubine De who was responsible for it, and you sent me to my grandfather's house. In your heart, Concubine De was your wife, and her children were your children. What do you think of me? What do I think of you? I am just a stranger who can be ignored if you want, and can be thrown away if you want. Do I dare to tell you that Concubine De killed my mother? You will treat me like a stranger when the time comes. Where to send them? You will only protect Concubine De and her children, but you will protect me?" Zhao Rao thought that Zhao Yong would not investigate what happened back then, so in a rage, he expressed all his resentment .

Zhao Yong looked at his daughter blankly. It was the first time that he saw his daughter being so excited. It turned out that she missed him so much.

"Rao'er..." The anger in Zhao Yong's heart disappeared somehow. He looked at Zhao Rao with an obscure look, "Rao'er, when you were young, many things were not as simple as you saw. You should know, then I had someone check it out at that time and found nothing unusual about your mother's death. It was for your own good that you go to the Cheng family."

"Have you checked on Concubine De?" Zhao Rao asked coldly, "Are you willing to check on her? She is not your heart, okay? For my own good, father, do you still think I am a five-year-old child? "

Zhao Yong frowned. He really loved Concubine De back then, otherwise he would not have allowed her to give birth to two children. He had also suspected the death of the first queen, but there was no evidence, so he did not investigate further. Since then, From now on, he never favored Concubine De again.

"I will let Cheng Zheng go find out." Zhao Yong said in a low voice. He didn't know that his unintentional actions when he was a child would hurt Zhao Rao's heart so much.

Zhao Rao gave him a cold look, "I also want to know the final truth."

"Everyone knows that you don't like Concubine De. I keep you here because I hope you can put aside suspicion. It's not that I don't want Cheng Zheng to investigate." Zhao Yong explained, "Rao'er, you are my daughter. I will not let your mother die without understanding or defeat."

"She has been dead for twelve years inexplicably." Zhao Rao said calmly.

Zhao Yong was blocked and speechless, "In short, I will not let you go to Qi at this time."

"Okay, I won't come back if you don't come back." Zhao Rao said expressionlessly, as long as he had asked Cheng Zheng to check on Concubine De.

"Did Lu Shuang'er tell you anything else?" Zhao Yong asked.

A cold smile appeared on Zhao Rao's lips, "Don't you know where Lu Shuang'er is? Why don't you ask her yourself?"

"Is this your attitude when talking to your father?" Zhao Yong scolded in a low voice, "Don't think that I can tolerate you so that you can become more and more arrogant. You told Cheng Zheng everything, but you refused to say a word to me. explain?"

"At least Cheng Zheng won't doubt me." Zhao Rao said in a low voice.

Zhao Yong felt that if he continued to talk to her, he might be angry to death first, "Okay, let's go down. When I return to Qi, you can go back with me."

"Yes, Father!" Zhao Rao said word by word, turned and left the room.

Looking at his daughter's back, Zhao Yong felt a sense of powerlessness arise spontaneously. He sighed. Now he could only hope that Cheng Zheng would find out the truth soon, otherwise... Zhao Rao would probably never forgive him again.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time. We should enter the palace." Song Hongao whispered outside the door. He was outside the door just now and accidentally overheard the conversation between their father and daughter. Now he can only pretend to be something. Didn't even hear it.

Zhao Yong walked out of the room with a sullen face, without even looking at Song Hongao.

Outside the gate, Duanmu Xiu is already waiting. Today he will enter the palace with Zhao Yong.

After everyone got on the carriage, Zhao Yongcai asked coldly, "Did I do something wrong?"

Song Hongao really didn't know how to answer this confusing question, "Your Majesty, I didn't understand."

"Was it wrong for me to treat the eldest princess that way?" Zhao Yong asked coldly, as if Song Hong'ao would not let him go if he didn't answer well.

"The eldest princess has just lost her mother, and she was sent out of the palace by you while she was still sad. Not to mention that she was only five years old at the time. An older child would have felt uncomfortable. But you did it for the eldest princess's good, She will understand." Song Hongao whispered.

Zhao Yong snorted coldly, saying this is like saying nothing!

After entering the palace, Zhao Yong took Duanmu Xiu to Qianlong Hall to see Ye Zhen. There was no need to make an early morning appearance today, but there were still many ministers coming to see Tianfei, so Zhao Yong had to wait in the side hall.

The ministers who have entered the palace in the past few days are all for the sake of the new law and hope that Ye Zhen can change her decision. Whether it is marriage laws or other laws that require officials to abide by, they are all intolerable. If this continues, it will only I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous.

"Are you saying that it is wrong to strictly prohibit government officials from accepting bribes, or that it is wrong to ask them not to occupy people's farmland for their own use?" Ye Zhen glanced at the two ministers below, her voice a little cold.

"Tianfei, it's certainly wrong to be greedy, but...you can't enter or leave the brothel...it seems too harsh."

"Since you think it's too harsh, then don't be an official, so as not to wrong yourself." What kind of place is a brothel? It's the easiest place to leak secrets. After a few glasses of wine, you can say everything you should and shouldn't say. , as a court official, you should set an example, and some court secrets should not be spoken out at will. She wrote this into the law with the overall situation in mind.

Ye Zhen has been annoyed by the new law these days and is a little irritable. "Anyone who has any objections to the new law should just resign and don't bother me again."

She immediately scolded the two ministers kneeling in front of her away.

"Tianfei, everyone has never heard of such a law at first. You will naturally get used to it in the future." Liu Zhanhu said in a low voice.

"I know." Ye Zhen nodded lightly, "That's all for today. We will discuss other matters tomorrow morning."

After sending Liu Zhanhu and others away, Ye Zhen thought about going to find the two children to relax. Lu He came in to send a message that the emperor of Qi was here.

I almost forgot, I have to give Zhao Yong acupuncture today.

However, since Duanmu Xiu was taught the acupuncture points today, she no longer had to give Zhao Yong acupuncture.
