After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 565 - 363: Loving Mother

After the couple finished discussing, they returned to the table and began to eat.

With Cheng Chili and Liang Zhi present, the conversation at the table flowed smoothly and amicably.

In recent days, Liang Zhi had been assigned by Liang Chen to join Du Mingqian at the Dali Temple to interrogate Lian Rong. Fu Zhen was a bit curious as to why he appeared here?

It wasn’t until after they finished eating that Liang Zhi pulled them aside, revealing that the Dali Temple had already interrogated Lian Rong twice. Lian Rong, initially resistant, showed some signs of yielding in recent days. In the morning, he sent word inviting Liang Zhi and the others to visit, expressing his wish to know the results of the search in Camp Town.

Having demands would make things easier. Liang Zhi promised to consider it and then sought out Pei Zhan at Wanbin Building to ask for their opinions.

Pei Zhan asked him, "Aside from making that request, did he say anything else?"

"Nothing else really, except that ever since his capture, he’s maintained a deeply resentful expression and rarely speaks. During the first interrogation, even under pressure, he bit his tongue and refused to speak."

Pei Zhan and Fu Zhen exchanged a look, and then Pei Zhan said, "Alright, just agree to his request. If he wants to know the result from Camp Town, he surely wants to know the whereabouts of his accomplices. Just extract the whereabouts of his accomplices from him."

Liang Zhi clapped his hands, "Since you say so, I’ll ensure the matter is handled."

Fu Zhen thought for a moment and added, "In the noodle shop in the town, I saw someone who left a strong impression on me. After I return, I’ll draw him out, and you can use it for comparison."

Liang Zhi felt that this was even better.

Once everything was agreed upon, everyone went their separate ways.

The couple came out to bid farewell, coincidentally meeting Xie Zhang, who was also saying goodbye to Mrs. Ning. They seemed to be in silence, with Xie Zhang showing signs of embarrassment.

Seeing Fu Zhen and his companion approach, the two of them immediately stopped their conversation, and Xie Zhang bowed to Mrs. Ning, then left with Fu Zhen and the others.

After getting into the carriage, Pei Zhan, curious, remarked, "Lord Censor seems a bit off today. What’s going on with him?"

"How would I know what’s going on with him?" Fu Zhen glanced out the window in the direction Xie Zhang had left, and chuckled, "If there’s something that Lord Censor can’t handle, then there are probably not many who can help." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Pei Zhan was even more bewildered, "So mysterious, what’s really happening?"

Fu Zhen laughed, crossed her arms, and closed her eyes.

Pei Zhan had other matters to attend to, so after dropping off Fu Zhen at the residence, he left again.

Fu Zhen entered the room, first writing a letter, and handed it to Zi Yan, "See if Guo Song is around. If he is, have him deliver it to the palace gates and ask someone to pass it to Her Majesty the Empress."

Then she spread out paper and began to draw the outsider she remembered from the noodle shop in Camp Town.

To achieve true peace between the court and people, both internal stability and external defense are necessary. Originally, Fu Zhen saw Yang Yi’s resolute refusal to return to the palace and decided to respect his wish.

Who would have thought that a lying King Yan would be involved, necessitating an immediate resolution?

If Yang Yi’s aversion to his biological parents was due to his younger brother’s instigation, it indicates that the knot can be untangled.

Yang Yi’s return to the palace as the eldest prince would undoubtedly reassure both the court and common people, thus thwarting Lian Yang’s plans to destabilize the Great Zhou’s royal household.

But while pushing this matter forward, the situation with Dayue could not be neglected.

Though there’s no conclusive evidence yet, the man seen at the noodle shop coordinating with the startled Ma Chuan to attack them is almost certainly involved.

After Lian Rong escaped through the city gates, the person who contacted him was probably the one in the noodle shop too.

The man’s identity is unclear now, but given Lian Rong’s intense focus on him, he must not be ordinary.

After she completed the drawing, Guo Song returned, "Upon the Young Madam’s instruction, I delivered the letter to the palace and waited for a reply from Kunning Palace. Her Majesty said the Young Madam can enter the palace anytime."

"Then prepare a sedan chair for me."

Fu Zhen handed the finished drawing to Zi Yan, "Have a guard deliver it to the Liang Family, and make sure to hand it personally to the two Generals, without any mistakes."

After instructing, she changed her attire and entered the palace.

The Empress, for two consecutive days, after receiving news of Yang Yi from Fu Zhen, even stopped her daily routine of practicing the qin and calligraphy.

The portraits Fu Zhen brought were placed on her bedside cabinet, and she couldn’t help but feel her eyes moisten every time she looked at them.
