After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 568 - 364: The Child

Chapter 568: Chapter 364: The Child
"Not a single word was missed, that’s exactly what he said!" Yang Tong almost pounded his chest, then pointed to the letter in Yang Yi’s hand, "It should say the same in the letter to the teacher, right?"
Yang Yi did not answer. He swallowed repeatedly, took a few steps forward towards the threshold, and then turned his head, striding back into the room.
He Zhao followed, walked into the room, and then turned around to close the door: "Master."
Yang Yi took a deep breath, the hand resting on the back of the chair had already clenched tightly.
"Master," He Zhao stepped forward, "what should we do?"
Yang Yi gritted his teeth and turned around, "The letter was sent by that girl, it may not be true. Go to the palace gate and inquire. If they didn’t lie, there will definitely be clues from the palace attendants coming in and out."
He Zhao agreed and went out.
Yang Yi turned his head to glance at that bottle of osmanthus, then heavily sat down.
Meanwhile, in Kunning Palace, Fu Zhen accompanied the Empress sitting on the brocade couch. Besides the eunuchs and palace maids serving closely, there were no outsiders.
Fu Zhen comforted the restless Empress, "The message has been sent over. Once the Grand Prince knows, he will certainly take action."
The Empress’s face was extremely tense, "I am somewhat afraid... I don’t know how to face him."
Fu Zhen said, "Your Majesty hasn’t seen the Grand Prince for many years, feeling uneasy is understandable."
After all, it has been over twenty years. If it were another relationship, they would have become strangers long ago. After so many years, still thinking of each other is entirely due to the blood ties that have kept them connected.
The Empress, who had seen storms before, forced herself to calm down upon hearing this.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door, and as soon as the palace attendant crossed the threshold, he ed, "The Pei family guard hidden under the palace gate sent a message saying that Guard He has already appeared under the palace gate!"
The palace attendant, apparently unaware of Guard He’s identity, ed this very calmly.
The Empress became excited upon hearing this, "It’s He Zhao! One of the guards who left with him back then is indeed He Zhao! Where is he?"
The eunuch looked bewildered and could only bow his head, "I will inquire further!"
"No need!"
Fu Zhen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it’s time for us to leave the palace! Please, Your Majesty, prepare the phoenix carriage to proceed to the Pei family!"
The Empress nodded, tears already welling in her eyes.
...
Fu Zhen had calculated the time well, from Yang Tong delivering the letter to Yang Yi, to Yang Yi reacting, meaning the time it took for He Zhao to move from Yang Yi’s side to the palace gate was all within her expected duration.
Of course, she hadn’t anticipated He Zhao coming. He merely wanted to use this to test Yang Yi’s reaction. The fact that He Zhao could appear under the palace gate so quickly proved that Yang Yi’s heart still harbored thoughts of his mother.
Given this, she naturally decided to bring Yang Yi to meet the Empress immediately!
Considering Yang Yi’s aversion to the Imperial Palace, the meeting location could not be inside the palace. For safety reasons, the Pei family was a more suitable choice.
When the Empress was healthy, she often visited the homes of meritorious officials and elders. The Emperor had given her ample freedom and respect, so even if someone knew she traveled in plain clothes, it would not be a shocking or strange event.
Moreover, persuading Yang Yi to come to the Pei family would certainly be easier than convincing him to enter the palace.
With everything ready, the phoenix carriage was prepared. The Empress, accompanied by Fu Zhen, discreetly arrived at the Pei family. The Pei couple had already been waiting at the door to welcome her. Here, they first sat down to talk, while Fu Zhen immediately took a carriage to Wanbin Building.
Yang Yi was waiting for He Zhao’s news but was suddenly informed that Fu Zhen had returned. He took three steps at a time to meet her outside the door.
"What did you mean by the letter you sent me earlier?"
Fu Zhen said, "I came precisely for this matter. But it’s hard to explain here, would Uncle Yang accompany me to the Pei Mansion? I just returned from the palace and can explain everything to you in detail."
Yang Yi would definitely have doubts in his heart. If it was something urgent, they had already spoken about it several times here. Why couldn’t it be discussed here and instead required a trip to the Pei Mansion?
But that wasn’t important. Going to the Pei family was fine. He just wanted to know the accurate information at the moment.
So he said nothing further, descended the steps, "Lead the way!"
Fu Zhen clapped her hands, "Uncle Yang, you are decisive!"
This move was indeed the right one. Although it wasn’t correct to deceive honest people with lies and traps, given his urgent concern for the Empress, it was worth even if she faced blame later!
Two carriages then headed towards the Pei family.
