Chapter 2167 (1/2)

Many people were burned, and several of them were seriously injured. Ye Zhen checked the wounds again one by one, and opened the medicine again. Unconsciously, it was already dark. Looking at the dark night outside, she remembered that Mo Rong Zhan had been in the palace for most of the day, and had not come to look for him. It seemed to be very busy.

”Empress...” Hou Peidong came over with a tray in his hand. ”You haven't eaten anything for a day. First you have some snacks. I've sent someone to prepare dinner.”

Ye Zhen said with a smile, ”I don't feel hungry.”

”The patients, thanks to their mother's help, seem to be in less pain.” Hou Peidong said.

”I'm just raising my hand. They're safe.” Ye Zhen sighed in a low voice, ”Lord Hou, you've worked hard in the medical workshop these years.”

Hou Peidong shakes his head and smiles, ”Niang's words are heavy.”

”I'm no longer a queen. It's not suitable for you to call me mother again.” Ye Zhen smiles a way.

”Oh, look, I forgot again.” Hou Peidong gently slapped his mouth, ”you are now the princess of Qin.”

Ye Zhen looked at him with a smile. He remembered that when he saw Hou Peidong for the first time, he was still a rogue dandy. He didn't expect to become mature and steady in recent years. ”It's not early. I should go to the city. I'll come back tomorrow.”

”Then I will escort you back to the city.” Hou Peidong said immediately.

”Don't bother. I rode out of town myself.” Ye Zhen laughed, and she was anxious to come to the medical workshop today. She didn't even have a set of carriages. She picked a horse from the Ye family.

In Hou Peidong's memory, Lu Yaoyao often overlaps with Ye Zhen's image. They are jiaodidi's eldest lady. It's hard for him to imagine her riding out of the city.

”But It's going to be a little bit unsafe now. ” He remembered that Lord ye had taught Ye Zhen how to ride a horse. It seemed that Lu Yaoyao was good at riding since childhood. However, he had heard that there was an assassin who wanted to kill Princess Mingyu on that day. Lu Yaoyao was the princess's biological mother, so it was hard to guarantee whether there would be any danger.

Ye Zhen is to hope that those assassins dare to appear to kill her, when she is more likely to ask who is going to hurt Mingyu.

”Don't worry too much, Lord Hou. I have my own way to protect myself.” Ye Zhen waved his hand, indicating that Hou Peidong didn't have to worry.

”Princess...” Hou Peidong is about to persuade her to let him escort back to the city, but see Ye Zhen has already carried out.

He ran after her and came to the gate of the medical workshop. Ye Zhen's horse was tied to the big tree beside her. She had got on the horse neatly and waved back to Hou Peidong, ”Lord Hou doesn't have to send it.”

With that, she had already rode away.

He didn't even have time to send people to escort Hou Peidong.

Hou Peidong looked at the figure that had disappeared in the night, only heard the sound of dada gradually moving away. He thought that she had such a heroic side, which had not been found before.

”Lord Hou.” Doctor he did not know when he appeared, standing behind Hou Peidong.

”Doctor he, can I help you?” Hou Peidong looked back and saw doctor he with a cold expression.

”Lord, will you not go home?” He asked with a smile.

Hou Peidong said lightly, ”no return.”

Doctor he frowned and said, ”Lord, you haven't been home for a long time. My wife really miss you...”

”Doctor he!” Hou Peidong accentuated his tone, ”it's not convenient for outsiders to ask about the family affairs of the marquis. It's up to the Marquis whether or not to return home and when to go home. I hope you can recognize your own responsibilities.”
