Chapter 1370 Curse me to death?
Ye Zheng glanced at him.
After a while, he said, "You're asking knowingly. It's already like this, can she come out?"
He Yi smiled and said, "Why not? Although the emperor has supreme power, between her and the emperor, the initiative is in her own hands."
“…”
"If it weren't for her own actions, no one would have dared to let her live in the cold palace forever."
Ye Zheng waved his hands irritably: "Alright, stop talking. The more you talk, the more annoying it becomes."
He Yi tilted her head and looked at him, saying with a half-smile, "Then let's talk about you. You've been asking people to send things to the cold palace, but why don't you go yourself?"
“…”
"Before, you wished you could eat three meals a day in the cold palace."
Ye Zheng glanced at him again, his face darkening slightly. "Is that really the case? You old, arrogant man, aren't you doing the prime minister's job all by yourself now? Do you still have the heart to care about this?"
He Yi stretched out his index finger and waved it at him twice.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense."
“…”
"Since Emperor Gao, there has been no 'Prime Minister' in this dynasty."
Ye Zheng naturally understood what he was saying. Thirteen years after Emperor Gao ascended the throne, the then Prime Minister was accused of treason, and Emperor Gao ordered a thorough investigation. This major case implicated most of the court, and tens of thousands of people were implicated. After that, the position of Prime Minister in the Secretariat was abolished, and later the positions of Left and Right Prime Minister were established to prevent the Prime Minister from gaining too much power.
However, now that there is no Right Prime Minister, he is the only Left Prime Minister, and he is indeed doing the work of the Prime Minister.
But no one dared to say it so openly.
Ye Zheng sneered and said, "Look at you, you're so afraid of death."
He Yi didn't mind him mocking her at all. She just reached out and patted his shoulder, smiling and said, "If you have time, you should go to the cold palace. You might not be able to go there anymore."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng's eyes widened: "What do you mean? Curse me to death?"
“…”
"I'm telling you, even if your stinking body is buried underground and stinks, I'm still alive and well."
He Yi shook his head helplessly and walked away with a smile.
However, as he watched him wave to him and leave, a solemn expression gradually appeared on Ye Zheng's face.

The same solemn expression also appeared on the faces of Concubine Hui Wu Wan and Concubine An Gao Yurong.
The two of them sat in Chonghua Palace, each with a cup of hot tea at hand and a fruit box filled with various delicious snacks, but they couldn't eat any of it.
In the silent atmosphere, Wu Wan said solemnly: "It's been more than four months."
Gao Yurong quickly raised her head.
Wu Wan turned and glared at her: "Concubine Ning's belly is already showing, are you planning to let her give birth to the child?"
Gao Yurong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Wu Wan's face didn't show much anger, she just frowned and said, "Before the imperial concubine was pregnant, she had the emperor by her side the whole time, so it was fine that she couldn't do it. But Feng Qianyan is right in front of her every day, so is he really going to let her give birth to the child?"
Gao Yurong thought for a moment and said, "But your majesty, Concubine Ning told us before—"
Wu Wan looked at her: "You mean an alliance? Then what did you mean by stopping me that day?"
Gao Yurong said, "I stopped Your Majesty that day because there was no need for Her Majesty to get involved for her, but this matter is different. After all, she is not truly favored. Even if this child is really born, it will not have much impact on Your Majesty."
