Parents are busy farming

These two young eunuchs were the ones who took care of Zhang Gaoyi when Ye Zifen was not in the princess's mansion.

At this moment, the two men stood on both sides respectfully, their eyes always kept highly focused and attentive, not daring to show even the slightest slackness.

After everything was settled, Nanny Qi hurriedly went straight to the kitchen.

This time she went to the kitchen to discuss with Mrs. Feng what kind of tonic should be stewed to nourish and recuperate the injured Zhang Gaoyi.

Along the way, Aunt Qi walked hurriedly, and kept thinking in her heart: Should I choose to stew a pot of ginseng chicken soup that has a significant effect on nourishing qi and blood? Or should I carefully cook a pot of bird's nest porridge with a warm taste and excellent nourishing effect?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, and continued to rack her brains to think about details such as how to match ingredients and cooking methods, just hoping to find the best solution so that Zhang Gaoyi can recover as soon as possible.

The eunuch hurried into the magnificent palace in small steps to report to the emperor.

Ye Zifen and Mu Hongzhou waited quietly outside the palace.

The bright sunshine poured down like a golden waterfall, sprinkling on the magnificent glazed tiles of the palace, shining with dazzling light.

However, the bright sunlight could not penetrate Ye Zifen's anxious heart. Time passed by, and every moment was a torment for her.

Not long after, the eunuch walked out of the palace quickly.

He bowed slightly and said to Ye Zifen, "Princess, the emperor invites you to the palace to see him. As for Master Mu, please move to the side hall and wait for a while."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but frowned and subconsciously turned to look at Mu Hongzhou beside her.

The moment their eyes met, hers were filled with worry and uneasiness.

Seeing this, Mu Hongzhou nodded quickly and looked at Ye Zifen with his deep and firm eyes, as if he was conveying an invisible but powerful force with his eyes, giving her silent encouragement.

Seeing Mu Hongzhou so calm and composed, Ye Zifen felt a little relieved, but still felt a little helpless.

Helplessly, she took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and walked towards the palace alone.

What was strange was that the eunuch did not follow Ye Zifen into Chengqian Hall, but turned around and walked away.

However, Ye Zifen, who was full of worries at the moment, did not take this matter too seriously.

When she slowly stepped into Chengqian Palace, she felt her feet were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

In fact, in just half a month, Ye Zifen had tried to enter the palace to meet the emperor several times, but was stopped by the emperor every time for various reasons.

It was obvious that the emperor didn't want to hear her talk about her health condition anymore.

Ye Zifen naturally knew the emperor's temper very well. Since the other party didn't want to see her, she couldn't force him.

A gentle breeze blew by quietly, gently ruffling Ye Zifen's hair.

However, this gentle breeze could not blow away the heavy haze that shrouded her heart.

When Ye Zifen stepped into the palace, she was surprised to find that the emperor was not sitting on the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme power, as usual.

Instead, he stood quietly at one side of the room, staring intently at a scroll hanging on the wall.

The painting depicts a young girl in her prime, her smile as bright as a flower, bright and charming.

Ye Zifen couldn't help but move closer to take a closer look. The more she looked, the more she felt that this woman's face was somewhat similar to the prince's.

At first, Ye Zifen guessed that this woman might be the current empress dowager, but then she changed her mind and thought that the emperor had always been cold and distant towards the empress dowager, so she immediately denied this possibility.

In this case, the beauty in this painting is most likely the deceased empress.

Ye Zifen walked towards the emperor very lightly, fearing to disturb his deep thoughts.

When he approached, she knelt respectfully, performed the standard salute to the emperor, and greeted him softly.

It seemed that it took the emperor a while to notice Ye Zifen's arrival. He turned around slowly, with an indescribable complex expression on his face.

The eyes that had been resting on the painting finally moved away and fell on Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen felt the emperor's gaze and her heart tightened. She subconsciously lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet the emperor's gaze directly.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to be frozen, so solemn and depressing that it made it almost hard to breathe.

The emperor stared at Ye Zifen silently for a long time, and finally broke the suffocating silence.

I saw him open his lips slightly and slowly utter a few words: "You are here."

His voice was low and slightly hoarse, revealing a trace of fatigue and vicissitudes that could not be concealed.

Ye Zifen quickly leaned forward again and responded, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she could clearly feel her heartbeat getting faster and faster.

The emperor nodded slightly, then slowly shifted his gaze to the painting hanging on the wall again.

His gaze seemed to travel through the tunnel of time, deeply immersed in it, revealing an indescribable feeling of attachment and longing.

At this moment, Ye Zifen stood quietly on one side like a sculpture, not daring to even breathe, for fear of breaking the tranquility.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly broke the silence and slowly said, "I already know what the prince did. This matter really caused you and Duke Chongguo to suffer a lot of grievances."

Facing the emperor's words, Ye Zifen's heart tightened, but she didn't show it on her face. She just pretended to be confused and responded: "What is the emperor talking about? I really don't understand."

The emperor gazed at Ye Zifen leisurely, and after a moment he said softly: "You are the Princess of Fuxia. After today, I will confer the title of Princess of Fuxia upon you."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but frowned and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Gaoyi and I have never cared about these false reputations. As long as Your Majesty is healthy, we don't need to worry so much."

After hearing this, the emperor let out a long sigh, and his originally tense expression relaxed a little.

He just waved his hand gently, indicating that Ye Zifen didn't need to worry too much, and then said with great emotion: "How can I not worry about it? The future of this vast land and the country depends on the prince alone! It's a pity that since the last thrilling abdication incident, the prince seems to have developed an obsession with military power that he can't let go..."

At this point, a trace of worry appeared on the emperor's face, and his eyes were full of helplessness and melancholy.
