Ye Zhen drank the calming soup prepared by Pei's family, and slept for a day without dreams. When she woke up, her spirit was much better, and the tension and fear of the first murder were also relieved. She wanted to go to the room to give the old lady When I greeted you, I realized that the old lady had entered the palace.
She had no choice but to go back to the house to read a book. Before she knew it, a long time passed before Mrs. Pei brought her soothing soup again.
"Mother, I'm really fine, I don't need to drink this anymore." Ye Zhen whispered, she felt that she was not frightened very much, and she didn't need to drink any soothing soup at all.
"Hey, you'll be fine if you drink it." Mrs. Pei persuaded Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen had no choice but to drink the medicine first, "Has grandma not come back yet?"
"The old lady is still in the palace. Your brother has already caught the two robbers back in the morning. The people in the palace took them away just now. They should be interrogating them." Pei said in relief, "There is a Queen Mother Your Majesty decides for you, let's see how arrogant their eldest princess mansion is."
Ye Zhen laughed, "Based on the words of those two robbers, Liu Hua might not admit it."
She doesn't expect to bring down the eldest princess because of this incident. Neither the queen mother nor Mo Rongzhan will attack the eldest princess's mansion at this time. Mrs. Lu's entry into the palace is more about making the queen mother hate her even more The eldest princess, let Lu Shuang'er have a chance to get close to Murong Zhan, of course, it is also to warn Liu Hua not to think about hurting her again.
Although Mrs. Lu's background is not high, her wisdom and strategy are not inferior to any old lady from aristocratic families. Ye Zhen feels that the old lady is also responsible for the success of the Lu family.
Pei said, "Whether you admit it or not, let the Queen Mother and the Emperor know what they have done."
Ye Zhen nodded, "Yes."
After a while, Mrs. Lu came back, and Ye Zhen immediately went to meet her outside the door. Seeing that Mrs. Lu's face was not looking well, she walked over worriedly, "Grandmother, are you alright?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
She was pissed off by Lu Shuang'er! Even now, Lu Shuang'er is still thinking about how to get Yaoyao to leave the capital, thanks to her giving her such a good chance to be favored again today.
Hey, if Shuang'er doesn't make mistakes in the palace, that's all. The emperor can't spoil her like before.
The old lady didn't see anyone, and she only left Ye Zhen behind, "This matter may not be truly fair, but at least let the eldest princess restrain herself, Yaoyao, we can't just look at the present as human beings, even if we can't get out today Let’s see what happens in the future.”
Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "Grandma, I understand."
Yes, she understands the truth, even if she is not reconciled, she still wants to beat Liu Hua!
"The empress dowager has already informed the emperor about this matter, and the emperor has asked the adults of the punishment department to interrogate." Madam Lu said.
Mo Rongzhan sent someone to interrogate? Ye Zhen felt that it would be even more impossible to have a satisfactory result for her, but no matter what, she felt that she would avenge herself, and sooner or later she would clean up the waste.
Two days later, it seemed that it was the day when the emperor sealed the seal, and the results of the interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment came out. The two robbers had never seen Liuhua at all, but only a maid next to Liuhua. Under the action, only the girl was executed, Liu Hua was not injured, but the queen mother still made a decree, reprimanding her for lax discipline and asking her to shut up at home and think about her mistakes, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief for Ye Zhen.
Everyone knows that this incident has something to do with Liuhua, but there is no evidence. After the two robbers said that they only saw the maid, they died in the prison inexplicably. There is no more drama to be found. That's the only way to let things go.
"It's just a girl who died, and it's over like this!" Mrs. Pei cried out in a low voice, wishing she could whip that Liuhua a few times.
Mrs. Lu said in a deep voice, "Being able to kill the two robbers in the prison of the Criminal Ministry proves that the eldest princess is still capable."
Ye Zhen leaned beside Mrs. Lu and smiled, "Yes, grandma, we are not in a hurry."
She just hated Murong Zhan even more. He must have intended to protect Liu Hua, and it was because of his trade-offs. He felt that the eldest princess could not be brought down yet, so he turned a blind eye.
However, the more the eldest princess reveals her strength, the more Murong Zhan will be afraid of her, and it will only weaken his eldest princess mansion faster, and the more he wants to get rid of her.
What is she in a hurry for, just wait and see how the eldest princess reaps the fruit.
Mrs. Lu smiled lightly and shook her head, "Our Yaoyao is still sensible."
With this event in the past, the New Year's Day came.
The Chinese New Year is the most solemn and joyful festival of the year. In the past few days, everyone in the Lu family has chosen an auspicious day to sweep the dust in the house, renew the house, and clean everything from top to bottom.
On New Year's Eve, which was also the day when the imperial court sealed the seal, Lu Shiming came back early.
He and Lu Shixun took a few boys in the family to hang portraits of the ancestors of the Lu family in various halls, and pasted bright red couplets on the gates. They all mean good luck.
Seeing this lively scene, Ye Zhen felt extremely sad in her heart. She recalled the scene at Ye's house before, when her father took her and her brother to write couplets and blessing characters, and then they watched the new year together. When they woke up the next day, the pillow Beside it was a bag of small gold fishes.
If daddy was still there...if the Ye family hadn't been wiped out, she should still be able to see this scene.
"Yaoyao, Yaoyao?" Mrs. Pei saw her daughter in a daze holding a blessing, so she came over and called her a few words.
Ye Zhen came back to her senses, looked at Pei Shi and smiled, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Go and paste the blessing, why are you in a daze here?" Pei said with a smile.
"Oh." Ye Zhen pulled out a slight smile, trying to suppress the sadness in her heart.
In the evening, everyone happily had a reunion dinner together, and even Mrs. Lu came to the room. When the wine order was being served, there was a burst of shouting outside.
"Lady, there is good news from Xi Fan... Lord Hou has won the battle again."
"It's time to win the battle!" Lu Shiming said happily to the old lady.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "Hurry up and let someone come in and talk."
Madam Chen hurriedly invited people in. The person who came to announce the good news was a subordinate sent by Lu Lingzhi. He had just come out of the palace, and with the emperor's permission, he came to the Lu family to announce the good news.
Ye Zhen lowered her head and took a sip of wine, how did Lu Lingzhi win again? impossible! She clearly remembered that he should have come back from injury.
"Master Hou has captured the prince of Xifan, now only the remnants of the rebels are fighting against the imperial court. As long as those rebels are caught, Lord Hou will be able to return to the court." The soldier said.
Mrs. Lu was very happy, "Okay, okay! As long as Master Hou is safe and sound."
The others also smiled along with the postscript, Ye Zhen smiled a little forcedly, she simply pretended to be drunk and lowered her head without speaking.
