Zhao Rao's eyes did not hide the resentment towards him. Zhao Yong's heart was shocked. It was the first time he saw such a clear and direct hatred in Zhao Rao's eyes. He hadn't realized so clearly before that this daughter I hate him.
"When did I say that you made it up?" Zhao Yong asked with a frown, a surge of anger welling up in his chest, this anger of not being trusted by his daughter had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
"When the queen mother died, I told you that it was the concubine De who killed me, and you sent me to my grandfather's house. In your heart, the concubine De is your wife, and her children are your children. What do you care about, what do I care about in your mind, I'm just a stranger who can be left out whenever you want, and whoever you want to lose. Dare I tell you that Concubine De killed her mother? Will you throw me away again at that time? Where will you send it? You will only protect Concubine De and her child, and you will protect me?" Zhao Rao thought that Zhao Yong would never investigate what happened back then, and in a fit of anger, expressed all the resentment .
Zhao Yong looked at his daughter in a daze. It was the first time he saw his daughter so excited. It turned out that she missed him so much.
"Rao'er..." The anger in Zhao Yong's heart dissipated somehow, and he looked at Zhao Rao with obscure eyes, "Rao'er, when you were young, many things were not as simple as you saw, you should know that at that time I have had someone check it out, and I didn't find anything unusual about your mother's death, so I let you go to Cheng's house for your own good."
"Have you checked Concubine De?" Zhao Rao asked coldly, "Are you willing to check her? Is she not your favorite? For my own good, father, do you still treat me as a five-year-old child? "
Zhao Yong frowned. He really doted on Concubine De back then, otherwise he would not have allowed her to give birth to two children. He had also suspected the Queen's death before, but there was no evidence, so he did not investigate further. From then on, he never favored Concubine De any more.
"I'll let Cheng Zheng check it out." Zhao Yong said in a low voice, he didn't know that Zhao Rao's heart would be hurt so much by his unintentional actions when he was a child.
Zhao Rao gave him a cold look, "I also really want to know the final truth."
"Everyone knows that you don't like Concubine De. I kept you here because I hope you can get rid of the suspicion. It's not that I don't want Cheng Zheng to investigate." Zhao Yong explained, "Rao'er, you are my daughter. I will not let your mother die without understanding Bubai."
"She has been dead for twelve years without knowing why." Zhao Rao said lightly.
Zhao Yong was so blocked that he couldn't speak, "Anyway, I won't let you go to Qi State at this time."
"Okay, if you don't come back, I won't go back." Zhao Rao said expressionlessly, as long as he had already asked Cheng Zheng to go to Cha De Concubine.
"Did Lu Shuang'er tell you anything else?" Zhao Yong asked.
Zhao Rao smiled indifferently, "Don't you know where Lu Shuang'er is? Why don't you ask her yourself?"
"Is this the way you talk to your father?" Zhao Yong scolded in a low voice, "Don't think that if I tolerate you, you can become more and more presumptuous. You have told Cheng Zheng everything, but you don't want to tell me a word. explain?"
"At least Cheng Zheng won't doubt me." Zhao Rao said in a low voice.
Zhao Yong felt that if he continued to talk to her, he might be pissed off first, "Okay, go down, when I return to Qi, you will go back together."
"Yes, father!" Zhao Rao said in a word, turned and left the room.
Looking at his daughter's back, Zhao Yong felt a sense of powerlessness, he sighed, now he can only hope that Cheng Zheng will find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise... Zhao Rao might never forgive him.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time. It's time for us to enter the palace." Song Hongao whispered outside the door. He was just outside the door and accidentally listened to the conversation between their father and daughter. Now he can only pretend to be something None heard.
Zhao Yong walked out of the room with a sullen face, without even looking at Song Hongao.
Outside the gate, Duanmuxiu was already waiting, today he will enter the palace with Zhao Yong.
After each got into the carriage, Zhao Yongcai asked coldly, "Did I do something wrong?"
Song Hongao really didn't know how to answer this endless question, "Your Majesty, I didn't understand."
"Is it wrong for me to treat the eldest princess that way?" Zhao Yong asked coldly, as if Song Hongao would not let him go if he didn't answer well.
"The eldest princess has just lost her mother, and was sent out of the palace by you while she was still sad. Don't say that she was only five years old at that time. If it was a older child, she would feel uncomfortable. But you are doing it for the sake of the eldest princess. She will understand." Song Hongao whispered.
Zhao Yong snorted coldly, saying this is tantamount to not saying it!
After entering the palace, Zhao Yong took Duan Muxiu to the Qianlong Hall to meet Ye Zhen, there was no need to go early today, but there were still many ministers who came to see the concubine, so Zhao Yong had to wait in the side hall.
The ministers who have entered the palace in the past few days are all for the new law. They all hope that Ye Zhen can change her decision. Whether it is the marriage law or other laws that officials are required to abide by, they are all unbearable. If this continues, only Fear of unimaginable consequences.
"Are you saying that there is a problem with strictly prohibiting officials who are officials in the court from accepting bribes, or is it wrong to require them not to occupy the people's good land and enclosure for their own use?" Ye Zhen glanced at the two ministers below, her voice a little indifferent.
"Concubine Tian, it's wrong to be greedy for ink, but... not being able to enter or leave the brothel... seems too harsh."
"Since you think it's too harsh, then don't be an official, so as not to wrong yourself." What kind of place is the brothel, the place where secrets are most likely to be revealed, after a few glasses of wine, everything should be said and should not be said. Well, as an official of the imperial court, she should lead by example, and some court secrets should not be spoken at will. She wrote this into the law for the sake of the overall situation.
Ye Zhen has been annoyed by the new law for the past few days, "Anyone who has an opinion on the new law, please resign immediately, and stop talking in front of me."
She immediately scolded the two ministers who were kneeling in front of her away.
"Concubine Tian, everyone has never heard of such a law at first, but you will naturally get used to it in the future." Liu Zhanhu said in a low voice.
"I know." Ye Zhen nodded lightly, "That's all for today, other matters will be discussed tomorrow morning."
Sending Liu Zhanhu and others away, Ye Zhen wanted to go find the two children to relax, Lu He came in to spread the word that the emperor of Qi had arrived.
I almost forgot, today I still need acupuncture for Zhao Yong.
However, if I teach Duanmuxiu the acupoints of acupuncture today, she won't need to give Zhao Yong acupuncture anymore.
