Ye Zhen's delivery room is in the west courtyard, which she chose by herself. There is plenty of sunlight, and the room is bright and airy. The weather has been fine recently. Hong Ling and others are drying the mattresses in the yard together. Even the little prince will wear it in the future. All the clothes were taken out to dry in the sun.
It is only a few days before Ye Zhen gives birth. Although Ye Zhen hasn't felt any discomfort yet, she insists on walking in Daohuayuan for an hour recently. She is going to give birth to two children. If she is not strong enough, It is difficult to sustain.
Since Murong Zhan left Chengde Villa a few days ago, she has not heard any news from the capital, not even news that she wanted to invite Mrs. Pei over.
She vaguely guessed something, but she didn't want to be sure, and there was a sadness that couldn't be ignored in her heart.
He...has already set off for the country of Qi.
Even if he was unwilling, he still had to use this method to form an alliance with Qi. If it was her, besides this method at this time, she didn't know how else she could deal with Beiming and Dongqing.
She was just a little sad, Li Heng's life was saved by her.
I don't know if my father knows about this, Dongqing Kingdom doesn't have a prime minister, it's almost falling apart.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Jingning sent his wife to Chengde Villa." Hongying walked in happily, "Jian Jia and Prince Hou are also here."
Ye Zhen remembered that not long ago she wanted to know how the medical workshop is doing now, so she sent people to invite Hou Peidong and Jian Jia, but there was no news, she thought they couldn't come, but she didn't expect that they all came together today.
"Let Hou Shizi wait in the hall first, I want to see Jingning Hou." Ye Zhen whispered.
Hong Ling replied yes.
Ye Zhen stood up holding Hongying's hand, and went to the side hall to meet Tang Zhen first.
Mrs. Pei has been busy making an engagement for Lu Xiangzhi for the past few days, and the marriage was finally settled, and it was the day when Ye Zhen was going to give birth, and she came to Chengde Villa again without stopping.
However, this time her mood was a little different from before. When she saw her daughter walking slowly with her big belly, she felt sour and her eyes turned red.
"Mrs. Lu..." Tang Zhen called her in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I still know the severity." Mrs. Pei said coldly, then walked up with a smile.
Ye Zhen grinned when she saw Mrs. Pei, "Mom, you're finally here, I miss you so much."
Pei patted her stomach, feeling a little worried, "Did you overdo it?"
"How can I eat supplements, I don't even dare to eat more meat." Ye Zhen said with a smile, she didn't tell Pei that there were two in it.
Tang Zhen bowed silently, "I have seen the empress."
Ye Zhen looked up at him, "Your Majesty Jing Ning sent my mother over here."
The guard outside the villa must have been tightened again, otherwise, why would Tang Zhen send Mrs. Pei over in person
"Your Majesty, you're being polite. I'm going to retire after I've made my achievements." Tang Zhen almost didn't dare to look at Ye Zhen, he knew she must be suspicious of something.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Mother, you go to Daohuayuan first, I have a few words to say to Marquis Jingning."
Pei Shi glanced at her hesitantly, "Okay."
"Ma'am, I don't know if you have any other orders?" Tang Zhen asked with his head lowered.
"The last time the emperor left in a hurry, did something happen?" Ye Zhen looked up at Tang Zhen, he didn't dare to look at her, was it because he was guilty, or was he afraid that she would know something
Tang Zhen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you're worrying too much..."
"Is this palace worrying too much? Then why didn't the emperor come?" If Murong Zhan was in the capital at this time, he would definitely come to accompany her. He promised her that he would be by her side when she gave birth.
"The emperor is quite busy recently, and he will come to look for the empress in two days." Tang Zhen raised his head and looked at Ye Zhen and said.
Ye Zhen smiled lightly, "Really? Can I trust you?"
Tang Zhen remembered what the emperor had said, and nodded slightly, "Madam, I dare not lie to you."
"Then I'll believe you." Ye Zhen said in a low voice, she didn't want to believe that Murong Zhan would go to Qi State to propose marriage in person, and would ignore her like this, no matter what he thought in his heart, whether he loves or touches the princess of Qi State, As long as he proposes marriage in person, she will be very aggrieved as a queen.
"Your Majesty, the minister is retiring first." Tang Zhen did not dare to say that the emperor had left the capital this morning. Although he did not go to Qi State to propose marriage, but... it was almost the same, but he could not say such a thing and did not dare to say it. He would never forgive himself if he lost his fetal gas.
He really wanted to dissuade the emperor, but he knew very well that there was no other way.
"Jingninghou, how long have you known Lu Lingzhi?" Ye Zhen suddenly stopped Tang Zhen and asked.
Tang Zhen didn't expect that she would ask about Lu Lingzhi, he was slightly taken aback, "It should be more than ten years."
"So, you know Lu Lingzhi very well." Ye Zhen stood a little tired, walked over slowly and sat down, "Did you hear Lu Lingzhi mention Qi before? Did he go there?" Over Qi country?"
"Before the Lu family became an imperial merchant, they were merchants traveling all over the world. They should have been there in Qi State, but they didn't hear Lu Lingzhi mention it. Madam, why do you ask such a question?" Tang Zhen asked. Knowing Lu Lingzhi, after so many things happened, he realized that his understanding of Lu Lingzhi was not as deep as he thought.
Ye Zhen shook her head lightly. She asked Lu Zanzhi to inquire about the past affairs of the Lu family, but she has not responded so far. Every time she thinks of Lu Shuang'er in Qi State, she feels that Lu Lingzhi must have had secret forces in Qi State a long time ago.
"Lu Lingzhi... is still alive." Tang Zhen glanced at Ye Zhen and said in a low voice.
"Alive?" Ye Zhen looked up at him, "Where is it?"
Tang Zhen's face was heavy, "I can only find out that he was seriously injured, but his life was saved. As for where he is, I haven't found out yet."
"Oh." Ye Zhen touched the rim of the cup lightly with her fingers, "It's good to be alive."
She had always wanted to kill him herself.
"Your Majesty, if there is anything I need to investigate, please do so." Tang Zhen said.
Ye Zhen said, "I may not be able to find out what I want to investigate. Lu Lingzhi was seriously injured and still alive. It must be luck. Do you know who saved him?"
"I don't know if Madam has heard of Chunfengya Medicine Valley?" Tang Zhen asked.
"Chunfengya?" Ye Zhen shook her head, "Where is it?"
Tang Zhen said, "If there is anyone in this world who can save Lu Lingzhi, except for the empress, maybe it is Duanmuya and his son."
"It seems that Lu Lingzhi really has a lot of life." Ye Zhen laughed mockingly, but kept Chunfengya in her heart, she would not let go to check on Lu Lingzhi for any clues.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about him, he will have retribution." Tang Zhen whispered, the emperor would definitely not let him go.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Thank you for telling me this, Brother Tang."
