451. Chapter 451 Don't Want to Wait for a Moment
Before Murong Zhan had time to ask Song Qi'an to draw up the decree, the Empress Dowager asked him to go to the Palace of Compassion.
"If Ai's family doesn't ask someone to invite you over, don't you plan to come to see Ai's family?" The queen mother looked at her son angrily. It's been a long time since she came back, but she didn't come to see her first, and told her the truth What happened, he left the capital without even explaining a word to her. She sat in the palace and cooperated with the cabinet ministers to avoid any trouble. Why didn't she find out that her son had a willful side before?
"Mother, it's a long story." Murong Zhan said in a low voice, "I brought Yaoyao back. She left the capital because she wanted to find her biological father. Because of her background...so I won't tell you. Running away from everyone."
The queen mother said, "The Ai family thought she ran away because she didn't want to marry you."
"..." Mo Rongzhan silently glanced at the queen mother, is she still her biological mother?
"The Ai family heard that she is Ye Yiqing's daughter. Is this... true?" The Queen Mother asked with a frown. If Yaoyao is Ye Yiqing's daughter, then she can understand why she looks so much like Ye Zhen.
Mo Rongzhan knew that this matter could not be concealed. Of course, he did not intend to conceal the Queen Mother, "She is Ye Zhen's twin sister. She was stolen and separated when she was young. She happened to be picked up by Mrs. Pei, and she was treated as her own. She was brought up by her daughter. Before returning to the capital, she had no intention of knowing her own life experience, but because the Ye family was executed, she never dared to tell it. This time, she heard that Ye Yiqing was still alive, so she moved to find her biological father. "
The Empress Dowager sighed, "Ye Yiqing is a gentleman, and the two daughters he gave birth to are indeed Fang Taobili, Your Majesty, then you treat Yaoyao..."
Will it be because she is Ye Yiqing's daughter that she will no longer be made queen?
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly, "I have always been the same to her."
"Then what happened to Lu Lingzhi?" the Queen Mother asked again.
"This matter... starts from Ye Zhen's time." When Mo Rongzhan mentioned Ye Zhen's name, his heart was still aching like tears. He thought Ye Zhen was the little girl he met when he was young. Tell the queen mother about this, and tell how Lu Lingzhi used her to frame her, and how he poisoned her in the end. At the end, Mo Rongzhan's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't even speak. She became dumb, "...Mother, it was I who harmed Ye Zhen."
The queen mother was speechless for a long time. She met Ye Zhen a few times. Although she was not favored in the palace at that time, and the Ye family had all the power in the world, Ye Zhen always respected her mother-in-law, afraid that she would be in the palace. She didn't live well, and even secretly sent people to give her a lot of things. When she heard the news of Ye Zhen's death, she was very sad.
No one thought that the truth would be like this.
Is this a trick of good fortune? The emperor could clearly have a deep love with Ye Zhen, and they were a loving couple, but in the end... In the end, the emperor really felt sorry for Ye Zhen.
"She saved you, how did you... forget her so completely?" The Queen Mother said helplessly, "Your Majesty, Ye Zhen deserves to die."
More than just dying, her soul has been trapped by his side for two years, seeing how he dotes on others, treating the person who harmed her as her doting, as long as Mo Rongzhan thinks of this, he hates himself even more.
"I will decree to make her the first queen." Murongzhan said in a low voice, suppressing the pain and guilt in his heart, "and Ye Yiqing, I also sent someone to find him."
The Empress Dowager had long thought that Ye Zhen should be named the First Empress. She wanted to tell the Emperor that way before, but at that time the Emperor hated the Ye family deeply, and she knew that even if she said it, it would be useless.
"Since Ye Zhen is your life-saving benefactor, isn't Ye Yaoyao... all controlled by Lu Lingzhi?" The queen mother frowned when she thought of Ye Yaoyao, whom she had named Concubine Yao.
Mo Rongzhan said flatly, "Ye Yaoyao was never the one who saved me, and I just used her as a pawn. Since it's useless now, then..."
"Just let her stay in the palace. The Ai family has named her Concubine Yao, even if she is sent out of the palace, it will not work." The Queen Mother sighed, regretting that Ye Yaoyao was named Concubine Yao without discussing with the emperor, " There is no shortage of concubines in the palace."
"I don't want Yaoyao to be unhappy." Murong Zhan did not forget that Ye Zhen is a jealous vat, although he is innocent, he can't stop the little girl from thinking wildly.
The queen mother gave him a funny look, "You are worried about making Yaoyao unhappy with just one concubine, so you don't plan to have another concubine in the future?"
Mo Rongzhan thought so in his heart, with Ye Zhen by his side, how could he have the heart to see other women, Ye Yaoyao was standing naked in front of him, he still didn't feel impulsive at all, but beside Ye Zhen, she A single glance made his heart flutter.
"Although Yaoyao is returning to the capital, Mrs. Lu has passed away. I'm afraid she won't be able to enter the palace to greet you soon." Mo Rongzhan didn't want to talk too much about the concubines in the harem. Can he let Ye Zhen Falling in love with him again is difficult.
The Queen Mother widened her eyes in surprise, she didn't know the news of Mrs. Lu's death, "When... when did this happen?"
"I heard it was yesterday." Murong Zhan said in a low voice, "Yaoyao is very sad."
"Is this... because Lu Lingzhi was injured in exile in the wilderness?" The Queen Mother still liked Mrs. Lu very much, and she was a rare understanding person, but she did not expect to pass away so soon.
Murong Zhan nodded lightly, he was unwilling to give the Lu family any more chances, but if Yaoyao continued to stay in the Lu family, the Lu family could not stay like this forever.
It would be great if Lu Shiming could separate the family. At that time, his rewards will be only Lu Shiming's family, and it will have nothing to do with the other two families of the Lu family. However, it is still too early to say this, and we have to wait until Mrs. Lu's funeral.
"Mother, if there is nothing else, I still have to go to the imperial study. Song Qi'an is still waiting for me." Mo Rongzhan said.
The Queen Mother asked, "Are you planning to make an order to pursue Ye Zhen?"
Mo Rongzhan nodded slightly, "I don't want to wait for a moment."
"Hey, let's go, I hope Ye Zhenquan will know and be comforted." It is also a sad thing for people to be innocent after death.
The concubines in the harem knew that the emperor had gone to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and they wanted to find an opportunity to come over to pay their respects to the empress dowager. They hadn't put on their heavy makeup yet, and they heard that the emperor had returned to the imperial study.
"The emperor is back." Ye Yaoyao sat in front of the dressing table, looked up and looked outside, "So... did the princess go back to the palace with her?"
"I haven't heard about the princess, Madam, you have to cheer up, the emperor may want you to sleep at any time." Dongmei said in a low voice.
Ye Yaoyao's most trusted court lady is no longer Chunmei, but Dongmei who was later assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to her side, "Can I still serve as a servant?"
