Parents are busy farming

The sudden news was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing a thousand waves, and the originally relaxed and joyful atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and the whole world fell into silence. Only the heavy or light breathing of the crowd could be heard, interweaving together to create a depressing melody.

Finally, Ye Zifen broke the suffocating silence. Her voice was a little hoarse, mixed with a hint of imperceptible urgency: "So what happened next?"

These words were like a sharp sword, cutting through the dull air and striking everyone's heartstrings.

Hearing this, Zhang Gaoyi took a deep breath, calmed himself down and said, "In the end, there was really no other way. The emperor had no choice but to ask the emperor to leave."

Ye Zifen was surprised and said in disbelief: "The Emperor was able to invite the Emperor Emeritus to come out? This is unbelievable!"

Zhang Gaoyi, who was standing nearby, nodded slightly when he heard her words, indicating that he agreed with her opinion, and added: "According to what was said in the letter, it seems that the Prime Minister personally came forward to invite the Emperor to come out of retirement."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but curl her lips, with a hint of disdain and worry in her tone: "Humph, those princes have never done many good things on weekdays. Now under such circumstances, I'm afraid they will all be liquidated. And the emperor will be very upset when he sees this situation."

After hearing this, Zhang Gaoyi frowned and echoed worriedly: "That's right, the situation is becoming more and more complicated now."

At this moment, Ye Zifen suddenly seemed to have remembered something important, and said solemnly, "There is another extremely difficult matter that needs to be resolved urgently. We must come up with a foolproof plan, which is how to resolve the knot in the emperor's heart."

Zhang Gaoyi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and responded with a sad face: "Alas, this is easier said than done! The emperor's mind is always unfathomable and difficult to understand."

Ye Zifen folded her hands in front of her chest, thought for a moment and then said, "But if we can't untie this knot, I'm afraid our future life will not be easy."

Zhang Gaoyi shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "That's true, but it's a pity that I can't think of a solution for the moment."

Ye Zifen paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and her bright eyes shone with determination. She said, "No matter what, we can't act too hastily. We must consider the long-term and think carefully and seriously. I believe that as long as we think carefully, we will be able to find a solution to the current predicament!"

Zhang Gaoyi frowned after hearing this, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it for now! In my opinion, Master Shangguan has been serving the emperor, so there shouldn't be any big problems."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly and responded thoughtfully: "I hope it is true as you said. Master Shangguan has always been cautious in his actions. I hope he can do his best to protect the safety of the emperor."

Zhang Gaoyi continued worriedly, "Based on the current situation, it would be better for us not to return to the capital as much as possible. After all, we have become the target of public criticism and are too resentful."

At this moment, there was a very subtle noise suddenly coming from outside the door which had been quiet. Although the sound was so light that it was almost imperceptible, it made the two people in the room alert instantly.

Ye Zifen's face changed slightly, and she quickly lowered her voice and asked, "Who is it?"

The person outside the door seemed to be frightened by this sudden question. He held his breath and dared not even breathe.

Seeing this, Zhang Gaoyi tiptoed towards the door carefully. When he got close, he suddenly pulled the door open.

In an instant, a figure came into view - it turned out to be a prince in gorgeous clothes standing outside the door.

This prince was none other than Princess Anle’s biological brother.

At this moment, he looked panicked and stammered, "I... I just happened to pass by here."

Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi quickly exchanged glances, and they understood each other. A heavy feeling surged in their hearts at the same time.

Zhang Gaoyi's face was as dark as if covered with dark clouds, so gloomy that it made people feel depressed.

Seeing this, Ye Zifen quickly smiled sweetly and asked softly, "Grand Prince, have you also received the news from the capital? Did they come all the way to see me?"

The other party's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, his eyes flickered, and he faltered to explain: "Uh... Actually, this prince just happened to pass by here."

However, Ye Zifen seemed to have known everything. She raised her lips slightly and continued to say nonchalantly, "It's okay. I have already heard the relevant news, so the eldest prince doesn't have to worry about it. And you don't have to have any grudges in your heart. These are just excuses carefully made up by those princes."

Hearing this, the eldest prince nodded as if relieved, and quickly responded: "We are of course fully aware of the princess's deep meaning, and we also know that you have always been upright, honest and kind. I hope that the princess will not take this matter to heart."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show her approval. Her gentle eyes slowly fell on Zhang Gaoyi. She opened her red lips, sighed leisurely and said, "My dear prince, the situation is very complicated now. All parties are competing secretly. Those princes are really unscrupulous in order to pursue their own interests. They have come up with all kinds of ways to create all kinds of troubles and obstacles for us!"

Zhang Gaoyi frowned tightly, and there were even several deep wrinkles on his forehead. His face was full of lingering worry.

He slowly raised his head, looked at the princess in front of him, and responded in a slightly low voice: "Princess, this matter is indeed very difficult, and its complexity far exceeds our initial expectations. However, please rest assured that this prince will not hesitate to fight side by side with you to face this difficult situation together, and will never let those treacherous people with ulterior motives succeed!"

Ye Zifen, who was standing aside, heard Zhang Gaoyi's firm words, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile.

However, a barely perceptible gleam of determination flashed across her beautiful eyes.
