Fang Zhen managed to calm down after being drunk by Zhao Yang. She didn't know how the Princess and Lu Yaoyao became so close, and now both of them would hold back when they spoke, but she forgot this when she was nervous today.
Seeing that Fangzhen didn't really listen to much, Zhaoyang calmed down, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Princess..." Fangzhen said softly, "There is a nanny who claims to be from the palace outside and wants to invite you into the palace."
What? Zhaoyang and Ye Zhen glanced at each other, both of them felt weird at the same time.
"Who invited the princess into the palace?" Ye Zhen recalled that she had just told Murong Zhan about it yesterday, so he couldn't be the one looking for Zhaoyang, right? Probably not, she thought Mo Rongzhan would not do this.
Fangzhen said cautiously, "That person said it was the Empress Dowager."
Ye Zhen was startled, "Queen?"
Zhaoyang frowned in thought, but what came to his mind was the fact that Mrs. He came to see her this morning.
"What's going on? What does the Empress Dowager want you to enter the palace for?" Ye Zhen asked Zhaoyang in a low voice.
"I don't know either. No matter what I want to do, I have to go to the palace." Zhao Yang looked up at Ye Zhen, reassuring her that going to the palace may not be a bad thing.
If it was the former queen mother, Ye Zhen would not be worried, but now the queen mother's temperament is too unpredictable, how can she rest assured, "You go to the palace, I will go to the emperor later."
Zhaoyang smiled, "Is there any need to be so nervous?"
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded vigorously, and after leaving the door, she ordered Hong Ling in a low voice to go to Ye's house immediately and tell Ye Yiqing that the Queen Mother wanted to see Zhaoyang.
Zhao Yang wasn't nervous at first, but seeing Ye Zhen's face as if facing a formidable enemy, he couldn't help but also started to worry, wondering why the Queen Mother was looking for her.
"Yaoyao, what are you worried about?" Zhaoyang asked, holding Ye Zhen's hand.
"I'm worried that Mrs. He has already entered the palace to look for the queen mother. The queen mother has feelings for my father and me now. She may target you in particular. No matter what, you must be mentally prepared." Ye Zhen whispered to Zhaoyang .
Zhao Yang nodded heavily, "Maybe the matter is not as serious as you think."
"I'm just in case." Ye Zhen dare not say that she has a bad premonition in her heart, her intuition has always been very sensitive.
"Then I'm entering the palace." Zhaoyang said.
Not long after Ye Zhen went out in Zhaoyang, she brought Xue Lin into the palace to find Murong Zhan.
Since the last time she entered the palace to pay her respects to the queen mother, she has not entered the palace again. It's not that she didn't want to come, but she felt that the queen mother probably didn't want to see her.
In the palace, Qianqing Palace.
Mo Rongzhan is discussing matters with the cabinet ministers. Ye Zhen knows that he is very busy recently, she doesn't want to disturb him at this time, and is worried about Zhaoyang's situation with the queen mother, so she can't sit still and walks around in the hall of.
Eunuch Fu hurried in from the outside, "Master, why don't you tell the slaves when you're here?"
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor is discussing matters with the cabinet ministers, so I just want to wait for him here."
"The matter between the emperor and the ministers cannot be finished in a short while. The emperor has been in the imperial study for a long time, and he should rest. You wait, the servant will go back to the emperor." Fu Gonggong said, heartbroken I think the emperor will be very happy if he knows that the princess has entered the palace.
What Murong Zhan was discussing with the minister was about the Beiming Kingdom. During the last battle in Liusha City, the Beiming Kingdom did not dare to underestimate the Jin Kingdom. It planned to negotiate a peace with the Jin Kingdom. marry the emperor.
This matter was only reported to Murong Zhan today. He suppressed it and did not discuss it in the court, but the cabinet ministers still knew about it, and they were persuading the emperor to agree to the Beiming Kingdom in the imperial study. The kingdom of the underworld lived in peace.
"There is no need to discuss this matter again, I won't agree, so let it be!" Murong Zhan listened to the persuasion of several ministers, and finally refused impatiently.
"Your Majesty, it's just the best way for us to negotiate peace with the Beiming Kingdom. It's not easy for our Jin Kingdom to have a peaceful life. We can no longer let the people live a life of turbulence. Please think twice." A minister knelt down and begged. .
There was a sneer on the corner of Murong Zhan's mouth, "Six years ago, in order to please the Beiming Kingdom, the late emperor sent the princess of our Jin Kingdom to marry each other, and he also sent countless gold, silver and jewels every year. Now there is no princess to give. Are you going to ask me to sacrifice myself?"
After saying this, all the ministers in the imperial study room were so frightened that they knelt down.
"I'll say it again, I don't need to rely on marriage to protect the Kingdom of Jin, do you hear clearly?" Murongzhan asked coldly.
Elder Xu, who knelt at the front and never advocated a marriage, had a flash of appreciation in his eyes, "I will obey you."
Mo Rongzhan remembered what Ye Zhen said last night, "There is one more thing, I want to make an announcement to the world."
Xu Lao raised his head and looked at Mo Rongzhan, "I don't know what the emperor is referring to?"
"You all get up." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "Do you still remember the Princess Zhaoyang who was sent to Beiming Kingdom to get married?"
"Princess Zhaoyang? Marry Princess Lincheng of Beiming Kingdom?" Mr. Xu immediately remembered that he was the one who was most opposed to this matter at that time.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "Before he died, Bei Tangcheng wrote a letter of divorce to Zhaoyang. Now that Zhaoyang has returned to the capital, since she reconciled with Beitang Cheng before his death, she doesn't have to replace Beitang Cheng." Widowed, I want to decree to allow her to marry freely in the future, no longer subject to anyone's restrictions."
"How could Beitang Cheng...how could he have written the Heli letter before he died? This is a great disrespect to our country of Jin!" A minister immediately shouted displeased.
"I don't think he is disrespectful to Jin Guo. He just feels guilty towards Princess Zhaoyang and doesn't want her to be a widow for him." Mo Rongzhan said coldly, "Prime Minister Xu, I leave this matter to you."
Mr. Xu took the order hand in hand.
"But, Your Majesty..." Some people felt that this matter was inappropriate, how could a princess be allowed to remarry, the royal family was being rude.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at them lightly, and everyone dared not speak at once.
"I'm saying once again that my country of Jin absolutely doesn't need to use marriage to ensure peace. Zhaoyang has been wronged for our country of Jin. The only way I can compensate her is to let her marry freely. Whether she is willing to remarry or not That's okay, she is the Princess of Jin Kingdom." Murong Zhan said coldly.
"Stand back!" Mo Rongzhan waved his hand.
Eunuch Fu came in from the outside and whispered in Murong Zhan's ear, "Your Majesty, the princess has entered the palace, and he is in the side hall."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly, and his tense face eased.
