1438. Chapter 1438 Unwilling to Be Bound

Different from the oppression in the palace of Qi Kingdom at this time, because of Ye Zhen's return, the palace of Jin Kingdom was full of joy for several days. Everyone had a cheerful smile on their faces. They were no longer afraid to see the emperor and queen. Before the empress came back, when they saw the emperor from a distance, they felt that there was a big stone on their hearts.

After seeing Zhao Ning, Ye Zhen persuaded her to go back to the palace first. She felt that the truth she knew so far might not be true. a chance.

Not to mention what will happen when Zhao Ning returns to the palace, after Ye Zhen sent Zhao Ning away, she called Ye Chundong over. She knew that Murong Zhan would ask people to check the people around Murong Yi, but she always felt that It's not easy for people to find out. Ye Chundong is not a secret guard, so it should be easier for him to find out the truth.

"Fifth Brother, I know you don't want to be an official in the imperial court. When you were in Yuan Kingdom, you refused. Now this is Jin Kingdom. Do you still mean the same as before?" Ye Zhen looked at Ye Chundong and asked.

When she was in the Yuan Kingdom, she originally wanted Ye Chundong to be a general, but Ye Chundong refused. He felt that he was not suitable for serving in the imperial court. He was used to freedom and did not want to be restrained at all.

"Ma'am, I used to do something for my second uncle in Jinkou City. I'm really not used to being a general." Ye Chundong scratched his hair. This time he protected Yaoyao when he came back from Huaguo, and he was also living in the barracks. After a period of time, I realized more clearly that it was not suitable for me.

"Then..." Ye Zhen glanced at him, "What are your plans for the future?"

Ye Chundong thought about it seriously, "Madam, my second uncle asked me to come back to help you. Apart from being an official in the court, you also need someone to do things for you outside the palace, right?"

"Indeed." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, and then she said seriously, "Fifth brother, what I need is not someone to help me outside."

"I understand what you mean." Ye Chundong responded in a low voice, "Except for Yan Han and the others who stay with you, I will take the others outside. No matter what you order, we will complete it, and we will treat you as if you are outside the palace." the dark guard."

Ye Zhen really meant that, she wanted someone to do things for her outside, just like Mo Rongzhan's hidden guards.

"The four of Yan Han and the others stay in the capital, and you can take the other eight away." Ye Zhen's eyes were cold, "I want you to check something first."

"What's the matter?" Ye Chundong asked.

Ye Zhen said, "The little prince has lived in Nanyue for almost two years. No matter who appears by his side in these two years, he must carefully check. The most important thing is who is in the palace now."

"Ma'am, what do you suspect the little prince is doing behind his back?" Ye Chundong asked in a low voice.

"I'm just worried that someone wants to take advantage of him." Ye Zhen wouldn't doubt Murong Yi, she just worried that there would be someone hiding around him. Although Murong Zhan had asked Shen Yi to investigate, Shen Yi was The secret guard, whose identity is too obvious, may not be able to be found out.

Ye Chundong already understood Ye Zhen's meaning, "Ma'am, I know what to do."

"Okay." Ye Zhen whispered, "If you need anything, just talk to me."

"Yes, ma'am." Ye Chundong replied.

Ye Zhen glanced at him with a smile, "Fifth Brother lives in Ye's mansion now, right?"

"At the third brother's place..." Ye Chundong sighed softly, "I used to think that it was impossible to step into the Ye family's mansion again, but I didn't expect that when I came back, things would have changed."

"Have you seen my brother's child?" Ye Zhen and Ye Chundong were chatting, she really wanted to see Ye Chunnan's son as soon as possible, that is her little nephew.

Ye Chundong said, "I see, he looks very similar to the third brother."

It's only been three days since she came back, and Ye Zhen still hasn't sat down to talk with Ye Chunnan properly, she still has a lot to ask him.

Gossiped with Ye Chundong for a few words, and Ye Chundong left the palace. Ye Zhen saw that it was getting late, so she didn't let anyone tell Ye Chunnan to enter the palace. She took a nap on the soft couch for a while, and when she woke up, It was already dark.

"Your Majesty, just now Eunuch Fu came to convey the message that the Emperor is discussing matters with the ministers in Qianqing Palace, and he will come back later so that Your Majesty can eat early." Hong Ling said while putting on clothes for Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen was still a little dizzy from sleep, she just nodded slightly and didn't answer.

After grooming, she felt better.

"Have Ming Xi and Ming Yu eaten?" Ye Zhen asked.

"His Royal Highness and the Princess came to look for you just now, knowing that you were still sleeping, they went back, saying that they would not come over for dinner today." Hong Ling said with a smile.

Ye Zhen rubbed her brows, "Tomorrow let Xue Lin find out who has children of the right age in Kyoto. I will have a look at them first, and I will have a good idea of ​​letting them enter the palace."

"Yes, empress." Hong Ling responded.

"Let's set the meal." Ye Zhen said, she slept for too long, and now she really feels hungry.

Daimei came back soon with the meals.

Ye Zhen drank a few sips of soup first, remembering that she had been away from the palace for so long, it seemed that she hadn't asked what happened during this period.

"Daimei, where is Hu Yue'er in the palace now?" Ye Zhen thought of Hu Yue'er, she knew that Mo Rongzhan would not let her go easily, probably because he abolished his concubine position.

"Why did the empress ask about this person? After the emperor came back, he sent her to the cold palace. For so many years, the servants did not understand her at all." Dai Mei whispered, in her opinion, Hu Yue'er died no matter how many times she died. Not atoneable.

Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly, Hu Yue'er is indeed not guilty of death, if she is only in the cold palace, Mo Rongzhan would be merciful.

"When you were not in the palace, the emperor would rest at the Yongshou Palace every day. Some unwilling women tried their best to come to see the emperor. Once, the emperor came back late and saw Sun Jieyu burning the fire in front of the Yongshou Palace. Money, still kneeling in front of the emperor, crying pear blossoms and rain, acting as if he wished to die for his mother, the emperor had long ago ordered that no one should mention the word "death", I don't know what this Sun Jieyu thinks, I thought she was sincere to you, and she deserved to be burned to death by the emperor." Dai Mei snorted.

In fact, the palace people of their Yongshou Palace didn’t have a good time at the beginning. Those people thought that without the empress, they would be easy to bully. She was molested by those old eunuchs several times. The maids in the palace didn't know what was going to happen.

"Burn to death?" Ye Zhen called out in surprise.

Dai Mei hurriedly said, "The maid also heard the story, but I haven't seen Sun Jieyu since then."

"Don't say it so scary, it's scary." Hong Ling said angrily, "Ma'am, that's all happened in the past, no matter what happened to Sun Jieyu, she asked for it."

Ye Zhen nodded lightly, if Sun Jieyu was bestowed to death, she didn't think that Hu Yueer's end would just be thrown into limbo.
