Chapter 1986 Asking for an Audience

In the hall, in addition to Shui Yichen, there were also General Lei Yingchun and others. The day before yesterday, they heard the news that Cheng Zheng was killed by the Concubine. At that time, they only thought it was a rumor out of thin air. This morning in the court, Only then did they find out that it was true, and that the Heavenly Concubine was in the royal capital, so they came to see her immediately.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye. Many changes have taken place in the Yuan Kingdom, and the layout of the court is also different from four years ago. However, the Yuan Kingdom was founded by Concubine Tian. No matter how it changes, Lu Yaoyao's name is still in the minds of these ministers. An important position.

Ye Zhen was wearing a white-on-white background with a crimson collar and a printed t-shirt today. Under the sunlight, she looked bright and beautiful, and her porcelain white skin was set off like jade. She walked up the steps and came into everyone's sight.

There was almost no change at all. Where had she spent the past four years?

Shui Yichen looked at Ye Zhen with burning eyes. After four years of missing her, he no longer wanted to control his reveries and desires.

"Empress Tianfei!" Shen Luoyang took a step forward and bowed to Ye Zhen.

Her bow finally brought everyone back to their senses.

"I have met Tianfei." Jiang Dachuan and the others knelt down and saluted, looking excited.

"You all get up, get up quickly." Ye Zhen is not used to the honorific title Tianfei Empress. Moreover, she has not made any contribution to the Yuan Kingdom for so many years, and she does not plan to stay in the future. She does not want them to misunderstand.

"Empress Tianfei, it will be fine if you come back."

"... If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. The return of the Heavenly Concubine is a blessing to our Yuan Kingdom."

"Yes, this is the blessing of our Yuan Kingdom."

Listening to what they said to each other, Ye Zhen felt a warm feeling in her heart. No matter what happened in the past few years, they still missed her old relationship.

"I am not the blessing of the Yuan Kingdom, you are. If it weren't for you these years, the Yuan Kingdom would have been in pieces." Ye Zhen said in a deep voice. This was her sincerity. Cheng Zheng and Beitang Yu were ambitious. After her disappearance, they must have thought they had a chance to annex the Yuan Kingdom. Not only has the Yuan Kingdom not been annexed, but it has even become more prosperous. This is all due to them.

Lei Yingchun said, "If there was no Concubine Tian, ​​there would be no Yuan Kingdom. Concubine, since you are back, why don't you go back to the palace?"

"Yes, the palace has been renovated over the years. It is more spacious and brighter than before. Madam, I am here to welcome you back to the palace today." Jiang Dachuan said.

"I respectfully welcome your empress back to the palace." Others followed suit and bowed to the end.

Ye Zhen said helplessly, "It's fine if I live here. I understand your wishes."

When Lei Yingchun heard Ye Zhen's words, he raised his head and looked at her in surprise. Did this mean that he didn't plan to return to the palace?

"I believe everyone has heard the rumors outside that Cheng Zheng of Qi State has been assassinated. Zhao Rao will definitely seek revenge from me. If I enter the palace at this time and continue to be your concubine, Zhao Rao will transfer his hatred to Yuan State. The Yuan Kingdom has finally achieved its prosperity today, and I should not be involved in the war again because of my personal grudges. This is unfair to you and the people of the Yuan Kingdom." Ye Zhen looked at the people in the hall with clear eyes. Everyone, they were all people who had followed her to the battlefield. They defeated Yuan Kingdom with her. She really didn't want to implicate Yuan Kingdom because of her own affairs.

Shui Yichen said in a deep voice, "You are the concubine of the Yuan Kingdom. Your affairs are the Yuan Kingdom's business and our business."

Ye Zhen raised her eyes to look at him and said to the others, "I have been at sea for many years and do not understand many things in the Central Plains. Everyone, I returned to the palace rashly and could not do anything. Moreover... I still have many things that I have not done. of."

Lei Yingchun and Jiang Dachuan looked at each other. They all understood what Ye Zhen meant. She was not willing to be a concubine anymore.

Is it because of Shui Yichen?

"Empress Tianfei..." Shen Luoyang glanced at Shui Yichen from the corner of his eyes, wanting to persuade Ye Zhen again.

"My lords, please come back. I will consider returning to the palace." Ye Zhen interrupted Shen Luoyang with a smile.

Lei Yingchun and the others looked at Huangfu Chen behind Ye Zhen and felt that no matter what they said, it was useless, so they had to bow and leave.

Gradually, only Shui Yichen and Huangfu Chen were left in the hall looking at Ye Zhen.

"Yaoyao, are you serious?" Huangfuchen asked in a low voice. He thought that she didn't want to return to the palace because she wanted to test the minister's reaction first, but it seemed that was not the case.

"Everything I just said is true." Ye Zhen said, "I don't want Zhao Rao to have an excuse to attack the Yuan Kingdom."

Shui Yichen said in a deep voice, "You are obviously looking for excuses. If Zhao Rao dares to send troops, I will dare to fight. The Yuan Kingdom does not need to be afraid of the Qi Kingdom."

"War is a waste of people and money." Ye Zhen looked at Shui Yichen, "It is rare for the Yuan Kingdom to have such a peaceful day, so don't destroy it."

"Yaoyao is right." Huangfuchen nodded gently.

"No matter what, you are the concubine of the Yuan Kingdom. If Zhao Rao dares to declare war, then I will lead the troops to fight." Shui Yichen said coldly, forcefully rejecting Ye Zhen's hint. She wanted to hand over the Yuan Kingdom. That is absolutely impossible.

The reason why he is still here is because of her.

"Shui Yichen!" Seeing him turn away, Ye Zhen called out to him.

"I'm going to prepare. We will welcome the Concubine Tian into the palace soon." Shui Yichen strode away, turning a deaf ear to what Ye Zhen had just said.

Ye Zhen stared at his back, "Shui Yichen didn't seem to have such a stubborn temper before."

Huangfu Chen smiled bitterly, "He has always been like this."

"Master, what do you think about handing over the Yuan Kingdom to Shui Yichen?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. This was her thought after seeing the Yuan Kingdom. She felt that Shui Yichen was more suitable to be the emperor of the Yuan Kingdom than she was.

"I thought you wanted to hand over the Yuan Kingdom to Mingyu." Huangfuchen said.

"That's what I thought before." Ye Zhen blinked. Before going to Xuantian Continent and experiencing it, she had made plans for Mingxi and Mingyu. Mingxi would inherit the Jin Kingdom, and Mingyu would inherit the Yuan Kingdom. The two siblings People can definitely support each other, but Mingxi obviously does not intend to stay in the human continent, and he is not suitable here.

As for Mingyu... she is still too young, and there will be too many variables in the future. Shui Yichen, who is loyal to her now, may not necessarily be loyal to Mingyu, at least he cannot let Shui Yichen become an enemy.

Huangfu Chen said, "Shui Yichen needs to be restrained."

If no one restrained Shui Yichen, he might become a tyrant.

"Then who should restrain him?" Ye Zhen frowned and thought, turning her gaze to Huangfu Chen.

Huangfu Chen shook his head violently, "If I could restrain him, I wouldn't have to live in the mountains and forests."

"That's because you don't want to. If you are willing, you can definitely restrain Shui Yichen." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
