The following day, Ye Zhen went out of the city gate to see off the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his entourage.
"Take good care of your mother for me."
Marquis Zhongyong gave Ye Zhen some instructions.
Last night he got his wish. When he got up this morning, Cui Yihuan was still asleep, so he told the servants not to wake her.
Although she regretted that she couldn't come to see him off, she was more happy that Cui Yihuan was willing to be his wife. However, she was very worried about her and could only ask Ye Zhen to take good care of her.
Ye Zhen nodded, "Father, rest assured."
Marquis Zhongyong then instructed Ye Zhen to take good care of herself and act cautiously, before handing her over to Helian Qing and the others.
"Woman, remember to think of me. I will come back when I have the chance."
Helian Qing had a stern face, but there was reluctance in his eyes.
Ye Zhen hung a necklace inlaid with a large ruby around his neck, saying, "This is for you. I'll come see you when I have time."
"You have to keep your word."
Her face started to crack, so she pretended to look down at the necklace Ye Zhen had given her and snorted, "You've got a conscience. I haven't spoiled you for nothing. When I get back to the border town, I'll send someone to give you gifts too. You're not allowed to refuse them."
After Ye Zhen told Madam Shen about the sinister intentions of the steward of the Prince of Dingyuan's mansion, Madam Shen then imitated the style of the clothes prepared by Xie Tingzhou and personally made a lot of clothes for Helian Qing.
With the guidance of Ye Zhen and others, Helian Qing stopped dressing up haphazardly and her aesthetic sense gradually changed. She added, "I know you like plain colors, I'll send you more later."
She's never even worn the pink pajamas he gave her, hmph!
But looking at it now, the pink color really doesn't look very nice; even my cousin Suihuan doesn't like it.
It seems the old housekeeper's taste is really not very good.
Ye Zhen was very pleased to see that he was beginning to resemble a normal teenager. "Good."
After they finished talking, Madam Shen grasped Ye Zhen's hand tightly. "Anything else is superfluous, Princess. If there is any need in the future, my children and grandchildren will definitely go through fire and water for you."
Li Chenghe was transferred to the border. Madam Miao was worried about her husband, so she went with him to take care of him. All four children went to the border town with Madam Shen.
She had a vague idea of why her son had been sent to the border.
Despite Li Heng's ambition, Madam Shen was quite content that her family managed to escape unscathed.
Li Suihuan and her brothers also thanked Ye Zhen, and even Prince Ning came to say goodbye to Ye Zhen.
He also gave Ye Zhen several shop deeds, saying, "Sister-in-law, I wish you and your elder brother, the Crown Prince, a long and happy marriage."
Ye Zhen looked around and saw that the shops were all in excellent locations, indicating that he didn't plan to return to the capital anytime soon.
"you……"
"Shh!"
Before Ye Zhen could finish speaking, Prince Ning made a shushing gesture and laughed, "Sister-in-law, please spend more time with the Empress Dowager when you have time. She is the best mother in the world and will also be a good mother-in-law."
"good."
Seeing Ye Zhen respond, Prince Ning smiled and rode away. Afterwards, Cai Yueya hugged Ye Zhen and wiped away her tears.
"When I first came to the capital, I thought I would never make it back, but I never expected to be taken care of by you all and to be living so well."
I had originally planned to live out my days in the capital, but the child was so pitiful and said he couldn't bear to leave me. Besides, your father went to war, and I was worried about him, so I decided to go with him.
"His Highness is blessed with great fortune; he will surely be alright. My dear daughter, don't worry about her. Take good care of yourself, and when I return, I'll bring you some local specialties from the border town."
She was unaware that the Crown Prince was faking his injury and comforted Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen listened obediently, thinking to herself that Granny Cai might not come back, because her people had overheard Helian Qing and Prince Ning plotting to match Cai Yueya with Prince Dingyuan.
These two completely unrelated people should have been an impossible couple, but who knows what will happen in this world?
In the past, Cai Yueya herself would never have known that she would come to the capital with the Marquis of Zhongyong, become the great-aunt of the Cai family, and be so respected by the Cai family.
After saying their goodbyes, the group began to move on.
After seeing everyone off, Ye Zhen went straight into the palace.
With the Crown Prince seriously injured, she, as his fiancée, was not allowed to stay at night to take care of him, but she had to visit him frequently during the day.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Huo Zhan and Shi Wuxia again at the palace gate.
After exchanging greetings, Shi Wuxiao said, "I've heard that Ye Wantang's tragic situation is largely due to your actions."
Ye Zhen didn't know why she suddenly sought him out to talk about this, and calmly said, "Her fate today is all in accordance with the law."
Is Shi Wuxia going to stand up for Ye Wantang?
If Shi Yan doesn't acknowledge her, why would he acknowledge Ye Wantang?
Or is this Shi Wuxia's own idea?
His mind was racing, but he didn't show it on his face.
Shi Wuxiao looked at her closely, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "I heard from my godfather that you sent someone to the Great Wei to find him."
But did you know that Ye Jinghong took away my godfather's most important possession back then, causing him great suffering?
Is this why Shi Yan doesn't acknowledge his relationship with his mother?
In the dream, Shi Yan harbored resentment towards his mother, but he cherished her because she had just returned from another world and was reluctant to let her give up all her merits.
Ye Zhen frowned. "What does Miss Shi want to say?"
Shi Wuxia smiled and said, "I want to say that I will plead for Ye Wantang and let her return to the General's Mansion."
Ye Zhen knew from her certainty that she must have a way to plead for him.
Can.
"Why?"
She said that her mother had harmed Shi Yan, and only by hating her mother could she understand why she saved Ye Wantang.
Shi Wuxia smiled and said, "There is always a price to pay for doing wrong, and no one in this world is an exception."
Not long after, Ye Zhen heard the news from the Empress in the Eastern Palace.
Shi Wuxia used new grain seeds and planting methods to get Ye Wantang pardoned and allowed her to return to the First-Rank General's Mansion.
"The Empress said that the sweet potato and potato seeds provided by Shi Wuxia have a yield several times higher than that of rice, and can be planted in both barren and mountainous areas."
