It's not very meaningful; on the contrary, it might be used by people with ulterior motives to stir up trouble and say that the royal family is harsh.
There is even a strong possibility that some people will incite the students to cause trouble. These students are the future pillars of the country. If they harbor hatred towards the court and become disheartened, it will be extremely detrimental to the emperor.
Therefore, he had to hold back for now.
At times like these, it's easy to see the advantage of a foolish ruler. If the emperor were a foolish ruler, he could easily find a pretext to arrest Li Heng and then slowly deal with his cronies.
Unfortunately, the emperor was not one.
Therefore, before obtaining conclusive evidence, he had to treat his ministers with respect, especially those like Li Heng who had a good reputation among the people in the past.
Seeing Xing Ze's angry expression, Ye Zhen said, "Don't worry, it won't be long."
Starting tomorrow, Ye Yunheng will be tortured, regardless of whether he can withstand it.
Even those who follow Li Heng, watching Ye Yun suffer a fate worse than death every day while Li Heng remains unperturbed, will feel disheartened.
Especially tonight, Li Heng sacrificed so many people to protect himself.
They also worry that they will be the next one Li Heng abandons.
Once morale is low, defeat is not far off.
Xing Ze now trusted Ye Zhen completely, so he didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and changed the subject.
"Princess, the Regent and Miss Shi are preparing food for you in the kitchen. It's clear the Regent values you highly, and I'm very happy for you, but..."
He scratched his head and asked cautiously, "Are you going to the Great Wei?"
After all, the princess had a really bad life in Dayuan before, and the regent doted on his daughter so much that he probably couldn't bear to leave her behind.
What about the master?
And if the princess leaves, will Wanxing have to leave too?
He never imagined that he and Wanxing would be separated one day. He always thought that his master and the princess would be together forever. If the masters were together, then they, as servants, would naturally be together too.
But as soon as the regent arrived at the Marquis's residence, he said that the princess hadn't eaten much in the palace, so he went to the kitchen and personally cooked food for her.
He also summoned Wanxing and Yinyue to inquire about the princess's food preferences. Such doting affection made it hard for him not to worry that the regent would take the princess away.
Ye Zhen was surprised that he would ask this, and smiled, "I should go."
She also wanted to see her great-grandmother from her dream and ask about her mother and Xie Shizi.
Xing Ze felt a pang of sadness.
The princess probably won't take him with her, since he's her master's man.
The thought of parting with Wanxing made Xing Ze's eyes gradually darken; he was so reluctant to leave her.
Ye Zhen saw his expression and vaguely guessed his thoughts. "You ate so many delicious things from my Wanxing and even had her sew you new clothes. Have you ever thought about giving her a future?"
Can I?
Xing Ze understood what Ye Zhen meant and looked at her hopefully.
When he first returned to the capital from the border, Wanxing treated him very well. At that time, he was oblivious to the situation. But once his master won the heart of the beauty, he became more perceptive and began to test Wanxing.
But when Wanxing said she wouldn't get married and would stay by the princess's side for life, he didn't dare to think too much about it, afraid that if he said something, Wanxing would avoid suspicion and they wouldn't be able to remain friends.
Ye Zhen nodded, "Wanxing will get married sooner or later. As long as she is willing to marry you, I will support her."
She learned from Xie Tingzhou that Wanxing initially approached Xing Ze in order to help her curry favor with Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Tingzhou saw through Wanxing's thoughts and also wanted to know Ye Zhen's whereabouts, so he asked Xing Ze to get close to Wanxing.
This allowed them to spend a lot of time together, and their relationship grew better and better.
She had noticed Wanxing and knew she cared a lot about Xingze, so she must have had feelings for him without realizing it.
Xing Ze, on the other hand, had remained silent until Ye Zhen finally asked about it today.
We can't let her Wanxing get involved with Xing Ze without her even realizing it.
Having received Ye Zhen's approval, Xing Ze's worries vanished, and he happily said, "I will go and ask Wanxing right away."
Wanxing listens to the princess the most. As long as the princess agrees to let her marry, she will definitely marry.
He bared his teeth and dashed out, but after a short while, he ran back, asking, "Are you going to the Great Wei and coming back?"
Now that his own affairs were settled, he also needed to investigate his master's future. Besides, if the princess didn't return, Wanxing probably wouldn't be willing to marry him.
Ye Zhen smiled, "Go back, Dayuan is also my home."
Her Xie Azhao is here, so naturally she has to come back.
At this moment, Xing Ze was grinning from ear to ear, and Ye Zhen was infected by his happiness, her eyebrows also curving up.
Shi Yan and Shi Wuxia each carried a tray in, and when they saw the person with smiling eyes, Shi Yan immediately felt his heart soften.
So this is what it feels like to have a daughter. Seeing her smile makes me happy too.
He placed the tray on the table and beckoned to Ye Zhen, "Come, eat with your father."
It wasn't mentioned that it was made specifically for Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen glanced at the delicious-looking food on the table and was somewhat surprised. "Did you make this?"
She heard from a servant that Shi Yan personally cooked the meal, with Shi Wuxia assisting. The food smelled delicious and looked appetizing. How could the dignified Regent Prince be a culinary master? It was actually quite good.
Shi Yan saw her shock, something flashed in his eyes, but he still said, "I learned it for your mother."
Even Shi Wuxia was shocked this time.
She knew her godfather could cook when she was little, and he would occasionally cook something delicious for her when he was in a good mood. But she never expected that her godfather would cook because of Ye Jinghong.
Emboldened by Ye Zhen's presence, she asked, "Father, can you talk about your relationship with Mother?"
I'm really curious!
