Murong Ke sent Song Jiong to the State of Qi in person. Before the results of the investigation reached Anhe City, Mo Rongzhan had already decided to return to the capital.
Ye Chunnan went to Xiliang after marrying Jin Shanshan. Jin Shanshan was left behind, ready to return to Dongqing with Ye Yiqing. Although they were married, Jin Shanshan had become the young madam of the Ye family. It was necessary for her to salute and offer tea to Zhao Yang. Otherwise, it would seem that Zhao Yang had no status in the Ye family.
"Daddy, you are not going back to the capital?" Ye Zhen was very reluctant to part with Ye Yiqing. It was not easy to see him again, and she did not know when they would see each other again.
Ye Yiqing smiled. "I have been away for too long, and Shanshan has to offer tea to Zhao Yang first. When you give birth, I will take Zhao Yang back to visit you."
"This is what you said. When the time comes, you and Zhao Yang must go to the capital." Ye Zhen also knew that Shanshan must offer tea to Zhao Yang first. It was already a last resort that she did not salute when they got married. If she did not offer tea to Zhao Yang, it would be really unreasonable.
"Haha, do you think I will break my promise?" Ye Yiqing asked with a smile.
Ye Zhen was really reluctant to part with Ye Yiqing. She took his arm. "Daddy, I don't know why, but I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?" Ye Yiqing patted her head lovingly. "Is it because of Mo Rongzhan?"
"I hope he will remember, but I don't want him to remember. I feel very conflicted," Ye Zhen whispered.
Ye Yiqing said in a low voice, "I've been observing him for a few days, and he treats you the same as usual. Yao Yao, don't doubt him because of what I said. If he treats you well, you should treat him well and stay by his side. If you feel unhappy being by his side, then leave … You have to know that you don't need to rely on anyone to survive. Without him, you can still live a wonderful life. Your life should be your own!"
"I know," Ye Zhen said with a smile. "You have told me this before."
"Remember my words well. Don't lose your life for someone again," Ye Yiqing said softly.
Ye Zhen's heart calmed down. "Okay."
"Go with him back to the capital." Ye Yiqing said with a smile. "It won't be long before I visit you and my grandson."
"Okay, Daddy, then I will go. Take care. Say hello to Zhao Yang for me."
Ye Yiqing smiled and nodded.
After the father and daughter said their goodbyes, Ye Rou walked out of the room with the servant girl.
"Where is the emperor?" Ye Zhen got into the carriage and found that Mo Rongzhan had not come out yet.
Eunuch Fu replied, "His Majesty is still talking to General Wang."
Ye Zhen shook her head with a bitter smile. She really didn't know how many things were hidden in Mo Rongzhan's heart. Not only was he worried about this side, but he also had to worry about the current war situation in Western Liang against the Northern Ming Kingdom, not to mention the capital. Yesterday, he told her that calm did not mean a good thing.
Actually, Mo Rongzhan had already instructed Wang Qu on everything he needed to do. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhao Ning.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to leave Anhe City." Zhao Ning had heard that the Emperor was going back to the capital yesterday, but she had thought that it was fake. Now that she saw the scene outside, she knew that it was true.
Her biological father had not been found yet. If the Emperor left like this, who would try their best to find him for her?
Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly. After seeing Zhao Ning's eyes, he remembered that this was the fisherwoman who had saved him. "I have already told the Sixth Wangye to find your father. You can stay here with peace of mind. When your biological father is found, someone will send you to see him."
"Emperor, this commoner doesn't know when I will be able to find my biological father, but here … … I'm not familiar with this place. If you leave, those people won't pay attention to me. Can I go back to the capital with you, I … … I don't want to stay here," Zhao Ning nervously and fearfully looked at Mo Rongzhan. She really didn't want to stay here. Before the emperor left, those servants already didn't place her in their eyes. Now that he left, it was likely that they would turn a blind eye to her even more.
Mo Rongzhan frowned and said coldly, "I believe that the Sixth Wangye will find your father soon."
"He said the same thing the last time. He even asked me to show him the dagger that my father left behind. But a few days have passed, and there is still no news." Zhao Ning said, feeling wronged. "I want to go to Qi Kingdom to find him myself."
"If you insist on going to Qi Kingdom, I can send someone to send you there." Mo Rongzhan said indifferently.
Zhao Ning didn't think that Mo Rongzhan would say that. He didn't seem to care about her at all. But then again, the only woman that could make him care about her was the Empress. She had heard that he only doted on the Empress. Even though she was pregnant, he didn't have any other woman by his side.
The man in front of her was the good man that her mother had mentioned before. But it was a pity that he wasn't hers.
"Then can Your Majesty tell me what the words on this dagger are? I can only rely on this to find my father." Zhao Ning said in a small voice. She took out the dagger from her bosom and nervously said, "Just because I have this dagger doesn't mean that I'm an assassin. This is the only thing that my father left behind."
If it wasn't for the fact that she had saved him, Mo Rongzhan didn't want to waste time with her here. His gaze fell on the dagger in her hand. His eyes flashed. He took the dagger and looked at it. He immediately recognized that it was an ancient sword. He had seen it in a sword manual before.
But this wasn't the reason why he was shocked. He was shocked because of the words on the dagger.
"This was left behind by your father?" Mo Rongzhan asked calmly, even though he was extremely shocked in his heart.
If this dagger was left behind by her father, then didn't that mean that her father was Zhao Yong?
Zhao Yong … … Zhao Yinzheng … …
Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened. He carefully looked at Zhao Ning.
"Mother-in-law said that she got it from my father. My father, like you, was injured and was saved by my mother …" Zhao Ning whispered.
"Have you shown the dagger to Sixth Wangye?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"Yes." Zhao Ning saw the clues. The expression on the emperor's face was the same as Sixth Wangye's. "Your Majesty, did you see through my father's identity?"
Mo Rongzhan did have some doubts in his heart. He asked in a low voice, "Do you really not want to stay?"
"Yes." Zhao Ning nodded with absolute certainty.
"Prepare a carriage for her and take her back to the capital." If her father was really Zhao Yong, then he would be of great value.
Ye Zhen, who was still waiting outside, hadn't seen Mo Rongzhan for a long time. She was about to ask Eunuch Fu to go in and see what was going on when she saw Mo Rongzhan coming out from inside, followed by Zhao Ning.
Seeing Zhao Ning, Ye Zhen's face changed slightly.
