1397. Chapter 1397 The Crime of Forced Uterus
Mo Rongzhan asked people to take Mingxi down. He put his hands behind his back and looked ahead coldly. Judging from today's situation, the troubles between these aristocratic families cannot be solved in a day or two. In this way, Ye Zhen will be delayed for a while again and cannot return to Jin country with him.
Thinking of this, an unknown fire surged in Mo Rongzhan's heart, and he looked at the aristocratic families in the crowd with even more anger.
"Mingxi is only three years old, and he is expected to protect the concubine and princess. You can rest assured that with us in the Yuan Kingdom, we will be able to protect their orphans and widows." Shui Yichen stood behind Mo Rongzhan without looking at him. He looked at him, but the words he spoke pierced Mo Rongzhan's ears.
Orphans and widows? Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly, was he treating him as a dead person?
"Of course I am here for my queen and children." Mo Rongzhan said calmly, "General Shui... it is more practical to practice diligently."
Shui Yichen's face darkened. The scene of being crushed and defeated by Mo Rongzhan that day was still vivid in his mind, and his face turned dark instantly.
"Please summon Princess Tian!"
"We want to see the Concubine..."
The crowd's voice became louder and louder, and it looked like they were about to break into the Meridian Gate.
Mo Rongzhan glanced lightly. He knew very well that these people couldn't break in. If they really dared to break in, it would be easier.
"If you pass the order, if they dare to take a step beyond the Meridian Gate, they will be punished for forcing the palace." Mo Rongzhan ordered coldly.
Shui Yichen looked at him sharply, "Is it a crime to force a woman to conceive?"
Is that killing without mercy?
Murong Zhan looked back at him with a cold gaze, "It has been less than a month since the founding ceremony. If the capital city falls into chaos because of today's events, it will be a joke to the whole world. The family is indeed deeply rooted, but they are not the foundation of the Yuan Kingdom. , if this chaos cannot be quelled within three days, it seems that those of you who are following her can only do so much."
Shui Yichen looked very ugly after what Murong Zhan said, but he had to admit that what Murong Zhan said made sense.
Murong Zhan didn't look any further, but turned and left.
He went to the harem to find Ye Zhen who was painting with Mingyu. She seemed to be in a good mood and was not affected at all.
"Where have you been?" Ye Zhen saw him coming back with a slight smile on her face.
"Where's Mingxi?" Mo Rongzhan sat down next to Ye Zhen and didn't see Mingxi here.
"He was here just now. He heard that Yan Xiaoliu was awake, so he came over." Ye Zhen grabbed his hand, "You went to the Meridian Gate? Why did you bring Mingxi with you? He is still so young. .”
Murong Zhan said with a smile, "I didn't ask him to do anything, I just let him know what kind of responsibilities he shoulders."
Ye Zhen knew that he had great expectations for Mingxi, but was it too early now?
"Don't underestimate Mingxi too much. He is smarter than you think." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile. He picked up several paintings drawn by Mingyu, but he couldn't see what they were in any of them. He laughed. Shaking his head, "Mingyu, what is this?"
"This is your father, this is your mother, and this is your brother!" Mingyu said seriously, pointing to a few pieces of jet-black drawing paper with a proud look on his face.
"..." Mo Rongzhan laughed, "So this is what my father looks like in Mingyu's mind."
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "It's pretty good that Mingyu can draw like this."
Mingyu held a painting and said, "I'm going to find my brother."
"Don't run so fast." Ye Zhen warned, asking Hongying to follow.
Only Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan were left in the dormitory. Ye Zhen glanced at him and asked, "Is there a lot of trouble outside?"
"No matter how loud the fight is, it's like this. They just want you to compromise. Once you give in, they will push harder." Murong Zhan said lightly, "Instead of slowly diluting with them, it is better to suppress them from the beginning."
Ye Zhen nodded, she thought so too, "I have no intention of compromising with them, but it's really not easy to deal with a family united."
"If they are united, don't let them unite." Murong Zhan whispered.
"Huh?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him with a smile, "It seems like what did you ask Shen Yi and the others to do?"
Murong Zhan smiled and said nothing. These people prevented them from returning to Jin Kingdom as soon as possible. How could he let them go.
"Stop thinking so much, go see Mingxi and Mingyu." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Ye Zhen looked at his figure and really doubted what he was doing behind his back, otherwise how could he be so relaxed.
At night, the people outside the Meridian Gate had not retreated. Shui Yichen ordered that as long as they took one step beyond the Meridian Gate, they would be punished for the crime of forcing the palace. No matter how united the aristocratic families were, no one was willing to take one step further.
Especially Shui Yichen was standing there. Everyone knew that this man was a general who killed without blinking an eye. If it hadn't been for him, Tian Fei would not have been able to get the Yuan Kingdom so easily.
This night in the capital city was destined to be uneventful. In addition to the people in front of the Meridian Gate, Shen Yi and Tang Zhen were also walking around the city. Before dawn, new rumors were already spreading.
By the next day it was a different situation.
"General Shui, we just want to see the Concubine. When will the Concubine see us?" The middle-aged man standing at the front is Liao Shouzhi, the head of the Liao family. He has been waiting here for a day and a night, but he still Not seeing the figure of Tian Fei, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Shui Yichen glanced at him indifferently, "Tianfei only sees the people she should see."
Liao Shouzhi was stunned and didn't understand what Shui Yichen meant.
Another day passed, and most of the people outside the Meridian Gate were reduced. Only the heads of the aristocratic families standing at the front did not leave. They looked at the forbidden soldiers blocking the front. Could it be that they underestimated the Concubine Tian? She was not afraid to follow her at all. Is the family against each other?
At this time, Ye Zhen was not in the palace. She went to see Ye Yiqing's former disciple in the Yuan Kingdom.
The Liao family is a large family, and many of their children are officials in the court. Liao Shouzhi joined other aristocratic families to go to the palace to ask for Ye Zhen, and many people in the Liao family gave up their official duties, thinking that this would paralyze the court. , nothing can be done in order to force Concubine Tian to submit and agree to their request.
Ye Zhen originally had the intention to re-promote Ye Yiqing's former disciples, because when Ye Yiqing resigned and left, Li Heng decentralized all his disciples and did not reuse them at all. Since the disciples of the aristocratic family thought that the court could not function without them, then Just give it a try.
In addition to meeting these disciples, Ye Zhen also met another member of the Liao family, Liao Shouzhi's younger brother, who had never gotten along with Liao Shouzhi.
Liao Shouzhi wanted to use the entire Liao family and even teamed up with other aristocratic families to threaten her, so she might as well let someone else be the head of the Liao family.
