Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Royal study.

As soon as Ye Jingyu picked up the memorial, Li Defu came in to report it.

"Your Majesty, Yin Zhong is outside seeking an audience."

Ye Jingyu put down his brush. Did he forget something?

"Let him in."

After a moment, Yin Zhong walked in from the door, bowed and said, "I have one more thing to ask for, please allow your Majesty's permission."

"Go ahead."

Yin Zhong said: "I have brought my eldest son Yin Xingyun back to me, but he has been sleeping all day long. I suspect that he has some illness. I also asked the emperor's permission to have Dr. Liang come over and give Quanzi a look."

Ye Jingyu frowned slightly.

"Does General Yin not know what kind of illness Yin Xingyun has?"

Yin Zhong was slightly startled.

"This...I really don't know."

Ye Jingyu asked, "Didn't you receive my eight-hundred-mile letter?"

Yin Zhong heard that Zhanger Kingang was confused and said hurriedly: "I only received a letter from the emperor agreeing to stop the war, and I didn't see any other messengers."

Ye Jingyu pondered for a moment, then suppressed the words that were on his throat.

If Yin Zhong knew that Yin Xingyun was poisoned by poison and it was difficult to cure him with medicine and food, he would definitely despair because of this. This would be a bit cruel for a father.

It's better to let him have a glimmer of hope and then look for a way to rescue him.

Thinking of this, he said warmly: "That letter is nothing special. It is really a blessing for Yin Xingyun to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty. General Yin has asked me to grant it. Li Defu will go to Liang Imperial Physician immediately."

Yin Zhong knelt down in gratitude and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. There is one more matter that I would like to ask Your Majesty to decide."

Yin Zhong told the story about the ladies coming in to serve tea.

Ye Jingyu pondered for a moment.

These people came here on behalf of Jiang Wu. As the emperor of the kingdom, I really shouldn't send them away so hastily.

Even if they are allowed to go outside the palace, corresponding arrangements should be made to show the royal favor.

"Since they have this intention, let them come in."

After a while, a group of women wearing foreign costumes and veils walked in from outside the hall.

The girls lined up in a row, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said in unison: "Slave servants, please see the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

Ye Jingyu said in a calm voice: "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The girls lifted their skirts and stood up, all with lowered eyebrows and eyes, looking obedient.

The leading woman took a step forward, bowed and said, "Since the Emperor doesn't want your servants to wait in the palace, please let me serve you a cup of tea and express your feelings. It's not in vain for us to travel thousands of miles to come here."

Ye Jingyu nodded, and the young eunuch immediately went over to pour a cup of tea and handed it to the woman's hand.

The woman's fingers moved slightly, and a ball of pink stuff fell into the tea, and it instantly merged with the tea.

She covered the cup with her sleeve and her movements were as fast as lightning. Even Ye Jingyu didn't notice.

The woman walked slowly to the desk and handed the tea to Ye Jingyu.

She said in a soft voice: "Now that the cessation of war has been signed, the emperor is Jiang Wu's best friend. I would like to borrow the tea from the Celestial Dynasty and offer a toast to the emperor. I wish you good weather in the Great Zhou Dynasty and peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

Ye Jingyu reached out and took the tea cup. This was the palace's tea. He didn't think much about it and drank it in one gulp.

The woman raised her lips, lowered her eyes and said, "Now that the slaves and others are sent out, they are the emperor's people. Please consider that the slaves and others are homeless and keep us sisters in the palace."

Ye Jingyu frowned slightly, his mind suddenly feeling a little dizzy.

He said smoothly: "In that case, you can stay."

Yin Zhong couldn't help but be surprised.

Why did the emperor change his mind again?

And it became so sudden?
