Ye Zhen really wanted to know what they had experienced at sea. They were supposed to come back two months ago, but they have been delayed until now. If they hadn't encountered something at sea, it would be impossible for them to come back now.
"We have been very smooth. We found the place on the map. We stayed on the boat. Your father took his own people into the mountains so that no one would know what they were looking for. On the return journey, someone couldn't stand the temptation. We There were a few traitors on the way... after killing them, we encountered pirates." Shui Yichen told Ye Zhen everything he had experienced at sea.
"Those people colluded with pirates?" Ye Zhen asked with a sullen face, she didn't ask whose subordinates those traitors came from, they were all on the same boat, it doesn't matter who's subordinates, traitors are traitors.
Shui Yichen said, "Probably not, it's just a coincidence, but because of the storm, we deviated from the course, so it took so long to come back."
Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to be back safely."
"Aren't you going to ask if the thing you are looking for is still there?" Shui Yichen asked lightly.
They worked so hard to find the treasure, so she wasn't worried that all the gold and silver treasures would be snatched by pirates
Ye Zhen glanced at him lightly, "I thought you would protect those things well."
Shui Yichen snorted coldly, "It's easy to say, do you know how many men I lost because of this?"
"I don't know, you didn't say anything." Ye Zhen said.
"Now you've got what you wanted, and it's in Nanzhou. No one knows what it is except me and your father." Shui Yichen looked up at her, "Are you planning to leave Huaguo? ?”
Ye Zhen didn't know what Ye Yiqing found, but no matter what it was, she already planned to go back.
"Yes, it's time for me to leave." Ye Zhen whispered, it has been more than a year, if she doesn't go back, Mo Rongzhan might really forget her.
Shui Yichen just glanced at her and didn't say much.
Ye Zhen went to look for Ye Yiqing after Shui Yichen left.
Zhaoyang just woke up, opened her eyes and saw Ye Yiqing sitting on the edge of the bed with the child in her arms, she didn't recover, she thought she was sleepy, why did she dream that Ye Yiqing came back.
"Are you awake?" Ye Yiqing looked at her with a smile, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Are you hungry? Yaoyao asked someone to prepare something for you, eat something first."
It feels so real! Zhaoyang looked at Ye Yiqing blankly.
Ye Yiqing had already ordered the maid to bring food in, Zhaoyang was indeed very hungry, she thought she must be dizzy from hunger, that's why she saw Ye Yiqing.
"Zhaoyang, thank you for the son you gave birth to me." Ye Yiqing watched Zhaoyang sip the soup, the smile in his eyes became more obvious.
"Son..." Zhaoyang paused, she had forgotten that she had just given birth to a child not long ago.
Ye Yiqing carried the child in his arms to Zhaoyang, "Look, I just fell asleep after feeding."
"This is my son?" Zhaoyang asked in a low voice, tears almost falling down, "You are true too? Are you back?"
"Yeah, I wanted to dare to come back before your delivery, but I was late." Ye Yiqing said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhaoyang threw himself into his arms, "It's good that you come back, it's good that you come back."
Ye Yiqing smiled and comforted her, "You can't cry during confinement, or your eyes will turn red in the future."
"Where did you hear that?" Zhaoyang gave him an angry look. Although he didn't believe what he said, he stopped crying and held the child in his arms, "I will be like you when I grow up."
"Well, isn't it nice to be like me?" Ye Yiqing said with a smile.
Zhaoyang glared at him again, the two looked at the child and talked for a while, Zhaoyang felt sleepy again, Ye Yiqing handed the child to the maid, and let Zhaoyang lie down and sleep again.
Ye Yiqing came to the hall to meet Ye Zhen.
"Daddy!" Ye Zhen ran over to hug his arm with red eyes when she saw him, "I'm really worried about you."
"I'm fine." Ye Yiqing patted Ye Zhen's shoulder with a smile, "We found what Qi Yanling left behind. They are all gold. I brought back twenty boxes."
Ye Zhen raised her head in surprise, "Gold?"
"It should be the treasure that Qi Yanling left for her descendants." I have to admit that Qi Yanling is very thoughtful, and it is more practical to keep anything than gold.
"Twenty boxes of gold..." Ye Zhen asked softly, "They are all in Nanzhou?"
Ye Yiqing gently stroked Ye Zhen's hair, "Yes, it's all yours to stay on the warship, Yaoyao, do you plan to go back to Jin Kingdom first, or go directly to Dongqing Kingdom?"
"Go to Dongqing country." Ye Zhen said without hesitation, if she went to Jin country first, the elite soldiers and gold and silver she brought would become an embarrassing existence.
"Okay." Ye Yiqing was obviously satisfied with her decision.
Ye Zhen looked up at him, "Daddy, do you... want to stay?"
When Ye Yiqing was about to go to sea to find the treasure, Ye Zhen felt that Dad didn't want to go back with her, he wanted to stay here with Zhaoyang.
"Yaoyao, without me, you can still do very well." Ye Yiqing said in a low voice, "After you get the Dongqing Kingdom, don't hand over the sovereignty of the country, and let the royal family and courtiers of the Dongqing Kingdom submit to you."
"The royal family of the Dongqing Kingdom will not bow their heads so easily." Ye Zhen said, after she got the Dongqing Kingdom, of course she would not hand over the sovereignty.
Ye Yiqing smiled, and whispered in Ye Zhen's ear, "The prince of Dongqing is a little girl."
"What?" Ye Zhen widened her eyes in shock.
"Only Queen Fang knows about this matter. You can use your status as the crown prince to control Dongqing Kingdom." Ye Yiqing said.
Ye Zhen was silent for a moment, "Father, then I will go into the palace and bid farewell to Sister Mengxi."
"Let's go tomorrow." Ye Yiqing said, "You are also tired today."
The news of Ye Yiqing and Shui Yichen's return quickly spread to the palace, Shen Mengxi was happy but also a little regretful, she knew that Yaoyao would not be in Beijing City for a long time, maybe she would leave in two days.
"She borrowed so many elite soldiers from us, she won't just leave like this, and she will come back in the future." Qi Yu's tone was a little uncomfortable when he thought of being taken away by Ye Zhen so many soldiers.
"You can't just give her soldiers, the generals who lead the troops to fight must also have food and grass..." Shen Mengxi was still worried about her sisters. In her opinion, Yaoyao was just a delicate and protective person. How could it be Leading troops to fight.
Qi Yu was speechless for a while, and muttered softly, "You really have plans for her."
"If it wasn't for Yaoyao, would there still be me and Yuanyuan?" Qi Yu had no room to refute with Shen Mengxi's words.
