Ye Zhen poured two cups of tea, handed one to Shi Yan, took a sip herself, and told Shi Yan what she had seen in her dream.
As for her past life's suffering, Ye Zhen chose to be brief, but instead focused on the various things Xie Tingzhou did to revive her.
Shi Yan knew then that she was right not to interfere with her daughter's relationship; the child had already protected herself.
Knowing that she couldn't hide her feelings, Ye Zhen continued the conversation about her mother.
"At the monument to heroes, I did not see her face, but I felt that it was my mother. In the dream that followed, my mother returned to the Great Wei."
My great-grandmother seemed extraordinary, so I wanted to ask her to check on my mother, to see if she was doing well, and also to find out what circumstances had brought her back.
“Your great-grandmother was indeed a psychic, and she could travel between different worlds. Right now, she is in another world.”
Not only her, but also my grandfather, father, and eldest brother went to another world, which is much more advanced than ours.
They all preferred to stay there, which is why I was asked to serve as regent.
Because he only inherited his grandmother's teleportation technique, he did not awaken the ability to travel through time and space.
This was a family secret, and Shi Yan didn't feel he couldn't tell his daughter.
“Your great-grandmother and the others return irregularly, but they will come back to pay their respects every year during the Qingming Festival.”
Perhaps at that time, your great-grandmother will tell us news of your mother.
With Grandmother's abilities, she probably already knew about Ye Jinghong's affairs. However, Heaven has its own rules, and one cannot arbitrarily change the fate of others.
For example, Ye Zhen's suffering.
I wonder if the child will harbor resentment.
Ye Zhen understood his worries and gripped the teacup tightly. "Even gods aren't omnipotent. If she could, my great-grandmother would never have let me suffer."
She didn't understand any mystical arts, but she remembered that her great-grandmother in her dream was very kind.
Judging from Shi Yan's words, his great-grandmother loved him very much, but could only watch him suffer from the torment of love. This shows that some things cannot be done as one wishes.
I feel a bit wronged.
However, this grievance inexplicably dissipated when Shi Yan's generous hand landed on his head.
Although it was already night, the father and daughter had just met and neither of them intended to separate. Ye Zhen then told them about Cui Yihuan and Xie Jinyao.
"If possible, I would also like to ask on behalf of Madam Cui whether the young master can be reborn into her womb."
She blinked and asked, "Can I ask this? Can my great-grandmother tell me?"
Shi Yan immediately felt that even if he had to pester her relentlessly, he had to get the answer to this question for his daughter.
"Yes, it will be Qingming Festival soon after the New Year. I will definitely help you settle your worries then."
"Thank you... Father."
The moment Ye Zhen uttered the word "Father," he felt as if he had become a child again, his heart filled with a sense of peace and security.
Shi Yan's eyes reddened, and it took a lot of effort to keep himself from bursting into tears in front of his daughter.
If his daughter weren't already grown up, he would have really wanted to squat down and ask, "Do you want Daddy to carry you around?"
He regretted missing his daughter's growth, but it wasn't something that couldn't be made up for. He grabbed Ye Zhen's wrist.
"Come on, let your father take you for a walk."
Ye Zhen felt as if she had been outside the Marquis's mansion in the blink of an eye.
The guards of the Marquis's residence felt a blur before their eyes, as if something had flashed by, but they couldn't see anything clearly.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen was brought to Li Heng's bedroom by Shi Yan.
Li Heng lay on the bed, his thigh wound already bandaged. The butler bowed beside him and said, "Master, Physician Feng has left."
This old servant has already informed Lord Lin that the students will speak out on your behalf tomorrow. In that case, the Emperor should not do anything further.
But Ye Yunheng has been sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, and this old servant is worried that he won't be able to bear it and might say something incoherent.
Li Heng felt uncomfortable lying down for too long, so he turned to his side. This movement aggravated his wound, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Let him take his child to watch the execution."
The pain stirred a sense of rage within Li Heng.
"Won't this backfire?"
The butler hesitated.
Which loving father would want his child to witness such a bloody scene, especially since the oldest child was not even three years old?
Will the Prime Minister's actions discourage Ye Yunheng and force him to confess?
Li Heng remained silent, only glancing at the butler with his gloomy eyes.
He wouldn't have done this unless he had no other choice, but even he could hardly bear such injuries. Could Ye Yunheng endure a month of slow slicing?
Li Heng dared not challenge human nature.
He could only have someone bring his child to the scene as a form of blackmail.
This is a last resort.
The butler dared not speak further.
Li Heng added, “His Majesty sent Feng Xing to treat me, which is also a form of surveillance. He already suspects me, so keep those people below quiet.”
Also, the Dark Abode is temporarily closed. Now that people from Great Wei and Eastern Wu are here, I'm worried they'll side with the Emperor.
Speaking of this, Li Heng was filled with rage.
Shi Wuxia and Huo Zhan were just putting on an act for him; in reality, they were helping Ye Zhen. If he had known that Ye Zhen could attract so many people, he should have dealt with her when she was young.
In the end, he underestimated the woman.
The steward noticed his change in mood and bowed even lower. Thinking of something, he had to speak up, "You are currently injured. Young Master will surely be worried when he finds out. If he wants to come to the capital to see you, I'm afraid the servants will be unable to stop him."
That girl is the Prime Minister's darling; who dares to stop her?
Li Heng thought of his son who was hiding outside. Knowing his personality, he closed his eyes and said, "Bring me pen and ink."
There are many things I need to explain, so I really need to write a letter in person.
