Chapter 1915 Dilemma

When Ye Zhen and Pei returned to the Lu family, they found out that neither Lu Xiangzhi nor Mo Rongzhan was there.

"Why aren't you here? I don't know if Xiangzhi can entertain...the former emperor." Mr. Pei hesitated, not knowing what to call Mo Rongzhan.

Lu Shiming said helplessly, "There are too many things to do today. I didn't find out about this until I got home after taking care of it. I heard that I went to the palace."

"Which palace?" Ye Zhen was stunned.

"It seems...Prince Yi's Mansion." Lu Shiming said.

That should be about Mo Rongyi.

Pei asked Ye Zhen, "Yaoyao, are you staying at home?"

She finally got her daughter back. She wanted to spend more time with her daughter, but she was worried about Yaoyao going to the Ye family.

Although Yaoyao was raised by her, the Ye family is truly related to her by blood.

"I haven't met my nephew yet. Of course I live here. I'll go see the other two nieces and nephews tomorrow." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

Mrs. Pei smiled with satisfaction and hugged Ye Zhen's arm affectionately, "Yaoyao, I really didn't expect to see you again."

Ye Zhen was infected by Pei's sentimental tone, her eyes turned slightly red, "No matter where I go, I will come back."

"I've asked your father, but he hesitated every time and refused to tell me the truth. I don't even know where you went." Mrs. Pei complained, "Looking at his expression, I thought you……"

You can't blame Lu Shiming. The way she and Mo Rongzhan disappeared was so strange. Except for a few people who saw it with their own eyes at the time, not many people knew about it. Lu Shiming might not even know the details.

"Isn't Yaoyao back now? Don't mention the past things." Lu Shiming glanced at Pei, not letting her mention the past things again.

Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "Dad is right, let's not talk about the past. Anyway, we can just stay here well."

"How is that the same?" After almost four years, the dynasty has changed a long time ago. She is obviously the queen's daughter, but now she doesn't know what identity she should appear in front of people.

"Don't you miss your grandson? Come and see Brother Lan." Lu Shiming found an excuse to push Pei away.

Pei's eyes suddenly brightened, "Yaoyao, let's go, mother will take you to meet your little nephew."

"Just go by yourself, Yaoyao and I have something to talk about." Lu Shiming said, asking Pei to find her grandson by herself.

"My daughter and I haven't talked enough yet." Ms. Pei muttered, still reluctantly leaving some space for you and your daughter.

After watching Mr. Pei leave, Ye Zhencai looked at Lu Shiming with a smile, "Dad, do you have something to tell me?"

"Come and sit down." Lu Shiming showed a gentle smile. He was already gentle and elegant, and he had taken good care of himself in the past few years. He was a little more majestic, but he was still the father that Ye Zhen was familiar with.

"Okay." Ye Zhen sat down, "Did dad just come out of the palace?"

Lu Shiming nodded lightly, "Yaoyao, what are your plans next?"

"We want to find A Yi." Ye Zhen whispered, "As for the others, neither I nor A Zhan are interested in coming back."

She knew what Lu Shiming wanted to ask, and it was nothing more than the matter of the throne. The news of their return must have spread in the cabinet, and even Song Jiong went to Chengde Villa to verify the facts.

"It's one thing that you are not interested. Others may not think the same as you." Lu Shiming said in a low voice.

"Dad, A Zhan and Murong Ke are brothers, they will not go that far." Ye Zhen knew what Lu Shiming was worried about. Whether it was Murong Zhan or Murong Ke, they were both good emperors in the eyes of the ministers. They all see Murong Ke's dedication to the Kingdom of Jin in the past few years. If Murong Zhan really wants to take back the throne, I believe many ministers will choose to remain silent because they don't know how to take sides.

For the sake of Jin Guo, neither she nor Mo Rongzhan will cause unnecessary trouble.

"I see that the current emperor is very attentive to Mingyu. Moreover, he has not established a concubine for so many years. It seems that he wants to raise Mingyu as...a prince." Lu Shiming said in a low voice.

Ye Zhen knew that this was just Murong Ke's idea, "If Mingyu becomes the crown prince, will other ministers agree?"

Lu Shiming was silent for a moment, "You said that if you are dissatisfied, the old ministers in the past had no objection, but..."

"There are still people who will object." Ye Zhen laughed. She had also experienced a lot. How could she not know that there would never be only one voice in the court.

"Even if someone objects, no one can change what the emperor decides." Lu Shiming said.

Ye Zhen looked down at her palms. She was no longer the same as before. Just as Mo Rongzhan said, they couldn't live here for too long, "As long as Mingyu is well, no matter who is in charge of Jinguo in the future." Emperor, it doesn’t matter.”

Lu Shiming glanced at Ye Zhen silently. He knew his daughter. Since she said she wouldn't fight, she definitely wouldn't fight. He just hoped that no one would deliberately sow discord later.

"Dad, you really don't have to worry. Although A Zhan is no longer the emperor of Jin Kingdom, he doesn't want to see Jin Kingdom fall apart. He and A Ke have the same belief." Ye Zhen said with certainty.

"Then I'll be relieved." Lu Shiming nodded. He also had something to tell the rest of the cabinet, but... I don't know if Teng Ye would believe it.

Teng Ye has always been very wary of Mo Rongzhan's return, and today he has to strengthen the palace's defenses, which makes Lu Shiming feel very bad.

"Dad, I'm going to go find Mom first and see Brother Lan." Ye Zhen said with a smile. She also knew in her heart that Lu Shiming would not have any doubts about them. He asked these questions deliberately today, probably because he heard some rumors. That's why I want to make sure again.

The people in the court who will doubt them now are probably the ministers that Murong Ke has supported in recent years.

Ye Zhen sighed in her heart. No wonder A Zhan said that they could not stay in Kyoto for a long time. He should have guessed such an outcome.

"Go." Lu Shiming smiled and nodded.

Arriving at the backyard, Ye Zhen was led by the maid to Su Xiaoxiao's yard. From a distance, she heard the cry of a child filling the sky.

"What's going on?" Ye Zhen walked in and saw Mrs. Pei holding a child who was over one year old and coaxing her in her arms. Su Xiaoxiao was beside her with red eyes in worry.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw Ye Zhen, a stiff look flashed across her face, "Your Majesty..."

"Yaoyao, look at this child. He keeps crying for some reason." Ms. Pei shouted anxiously.

"Mom, let me hold it." Su Xiaoxiao took the child from Pei's arms and coaxed her in a low voice with her back to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen said, "Let me see."

Su Xiaoxiao showed an embarrassed smile, "The child may be feeling uncomfortable somewhere. I've already sent someone to call a doctor."
