708. Chapter 708

Mo Rongzhan left the palace and came to Ye's house before dark. Ye Yiqing had guessed that he would show up early in the morning and had already set up a coffee table and was waiting in the study.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here, and I'm waiting for you from a distance." Ye Yiqing sat where he was, looking at Mo Rongzhan indifferently.

"It seems that Mr. Ye knows everything well and knows that I will definitely come to visit today." Mo Rongzhan was wearing dark blue round skirt clothes, which made him even more handsome and elegant.

Ye Yiqing glanced at him and said, "I guessed a little, but the emperor came a little earlier."

Mo Rongzhan sat down opposite Ye Yiqing, "Compared to the last time, is Mr. Ye's mood different this time when he comes back?"

"Of course it's different. Last time, I recognized my daughter. This time, I want to marry my daughter off again. I think the emperor can't understand the depression involved." Ye Yiqing sneered and made a cup of tea for the two of them.

"When my daughter gets married in the future, she will naturally understand Lord Ye's current mood." Murong Zhan said with a smile. Now he does not understand Ye Yiqing's mood at all, and just wants to marry Yaoyao into the palace as soon as possible.

Ye Yiqing glanced at him, "Are you worried that I will stop Yaoyao from marrying you?"

"Don't worry." Mo Rongzhan shook his head gently, he would not admit it, "Last time I heard that Wangdu City was besieged, it was Mr. Ye who helped Wangdu City escape from the siege on his own. I didn't expect that Mr. Ye was not only talented but also proficient in warfare. Bing Dao, people who looked down on you in the past should dig their own eyes out."

"Don't flatter me here. If I were the prime minister in the Kingdom of Jin, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that, and you might even find ways to suppress me." Ye Yiqing said quietly.

Mo Rongzhan said sternly, "If Mr. Ye is willing to come back and serve in the Jinguo court, I will definitely make you the prime minister. I will not trust you if you use it, and you will not use it if you doubt it. I can definitely trust you."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Ye Yiqing's lips. Naturally, he would not take Mo Rongzhan's words seriously. Even if Mo Rongzhan deliberately tried not to doubt, what about the others? Nowadays, there are many people in the Jin Kingdom court who have made trouble for the Ye family. If he really wants to be the prime minister in the Jin Kingdom, he will become mortal enemies with these people.

He was guarding against the comfortable life in Dongqing Kingdom, but living a life of swordsmanship and bloodshed in Jin Kingdom, it was not like his brain was burned out.

In fact, Mo Rongzhan also knew that Ye Yiqing could not come back to Jin Kingdom to serve as an official. He appreciated Ye Yiqing's talent, especially after knowing that he defeated Liu Wenxue, and felt that he was a pillar of the country. Dongqing Kingdom had him, and as long as Li Heng was not stupid, he could keep him. The Dongqing Kingdom will not fall for fifty years.

Ye Yiqing just laughed at Mo Rongzhan's assurance, and then darkened his face, "You abducted my daughter in Liusha City, and I haven't settled this matter with you yet!"

If this little bastard hadn't brought Yaoyao back, how could he have married his daughter so quickly.

"Master Ye, apart from Yaoyao's marriage, do you have anything else to do this time?" Murong Zhan chuckled and quickly changed the subject.

Ye Yiqing gave him a cold look. This brat was really fooled. He had other things to do.

"Do you still remember Princess Zhaoyang?" Ye Yiqing asked calmly.

Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. He often heard Yaoyao mention it on the road, how could he not remember it.

"So, does the emperor know what kind of life she lived in Beiming Kingdom?" Ye Yiqing asked again.

"Yaoyao mentioned it to me and I asked someone to check it out." Murongzhan said.

The implication is that he is very aware of Zhaoyang's experience in Beiming Kingdom, and he also knows the reason why she left.

"If Zhaoyang comes back, how does the emperor plan to treat her?" Ye Yiqing looked down at the tea leaves in the teacup. He didn't care about the princess's palace, but Zhaoyang was the princess of Jin Kingdom after all. Unless Mo Rongzhan nodded, she would still have to marry again. Not as easy as she imagined.

Mo Rongzhan raised his eyes and looked at Ye Yiqing. Why was he so worried about Zhaoyang? It seems that it's not just because of Ye Zhen's concern that she cares so much about Zhaoyang.

"Master Ye, I heard that Zhaoyang has been living in your house?" Murong Zhan asked tentatively.

Ye Yiqing said, "Zhaoyang once saved my life. Before Yaoyao went to find his elder brother, he temporarily entrusted the family to her."

""If Zhaoyang comes back, I will naturally compensate her so that her honor will remain the same in this life, and it will not change because of her status as a widow.

"Does the emperor want her to continue to be a widow and guard the so-called honor for the rest of her life?" Ye Yiqing asked sarcastically.

After listening to Ye Yiqing's words, Murong Zhan finally realized something was wrong, "Master Ye, do you want me to grant Zhaoyang another marriage?"

Not to mention him, even the previous emperors had no precedent of granting marriage to widows. Zhaoyang was wronged in Beiming Kingdom, but she was remarried. Who could he point her to? Those with too low status are not worthy of Zhaoyang. Who with high status is willing to marry a widow? Even if he married Zhaoyang due to imperial power, he might not be able to achieve harmony between husband and wife. Wouldn't that harm Zhaoyang?

Ye Yiqing said calmly, "There is no need to grant a marriage, as long as the emperor allows her the freedom to remarry."

A flash of surprise flashed in Mo Rongzhan's eyes, "Freedom to remarry?"

"Princess Zhaoyang is still young, is it possible for her to remain a widow like this? It is inconvenient for the emperor to grant her a marriage, so it is best to allow her the freedom to marry again."

"Is it possible that Zhaoyang already has someone he wants to marry again?" Mo Rongzhan asked, and realized that this question should not be asked to Ye Yiqing. How could Ye Yiqing know that he should treat Zhaoyang as his daughter now, so he hoped Zhaoyang can live a good life for the rest of his life.

Ye Yiqing said, "Does it matter whether she has remarried or not?"

Murong Zhan nodded lightly, "Is Zhaoyang still staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"She is in Kyoto." Ye Yiqing said.

"Master Ye, I have to see Zhaoyang before I can make a decision on this matter. However, don't worry, I will not treat Zhaoyang badly." Zhaoyang was regarded as a sacrifice for the country at the beginning. If the Jin Kingdom is strong, Beiming will How dare the country ask for the daughter of their royal family to be sent for marriage? Although Zhaoyang is not a princess, she is also the prince's daughter and a dignified princess, but she suffered such injustice in Beiming Kingdom.

As the emperor of Jin Kingdom, Mo Rongzhan felt very angry and ashamed. If the previous emperor was on the throne, if he was not stupid and incompetent, why would he need to sacrifice Zhaoyang in exchange for peace? Moreover, it was still a fake peace, and no one knew how many treasures had to be paid to the Beiming Kingdom every year. It was not until he came to the throne that he stopped doing this humiliating practice.

Ye Yiqing knew that he couldn't make Murong Zhan agree all at once. Anyway, there was still time and he would always make Murong Zhan nod.

"Okay." He picked up the teacup, "Your Majesty, I have one more ugly thing to say. If Yaoyao is wronged in the future, I will take her away regardless of whether you are a superior emperor or not."

"I won't let her be wronged." Murong Zhan whispered.
