The moment he stepped into the inn, Mo Rongzhan noticed that something was wrong. Whether it was the merchants or the proprietress, they were not ordinary people. He asked Hong Ying and Jianjia to escort Ye Zhen upstairs, and at the same time, he asked Wu Chong to follow them.
"Your Majesty, they are my people." Murong Ke whispered, "Go and accompany Yao Yao."
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows and looked at him sideways. "Okay."
He knew that Murong Ke was the owner of Qian Luocha. Since these people were his people, then everyone in the inn belonged to Qian Luocha.
Teng Ye slowly walked out from behind the screen behind the Lady Boss. His eyes flickered as he looked at Murong Ke.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes swept towards Teng Ye like a blade, but he only glanced at him for a moment before he turned and walked to the second floor. Since he trusted Murong Ke, he should trust the inn. He could solve all this.
"Why are you here?" Murong Ke looked at Teng Ye coldly. "I remember that I ordered you not to appear in front of me."
"My lord, it's not about Mr. Teng. We received a business, a big business!" The woman dressed as the proprietress looked at Murong Ke nervously as if she was afraid that he would be angry.
Murong Ke smiled coldly. "Business? The business of killing people? "
The proprietress swallowed her saliva. "My lord, we haven't killed anyone for a long time."
"My lord, someone wants Qian Luocha to kill Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao." Teng Ye lowered his voice and said, "That's why I brought Qiu Niang to you. I'm afraid that the other party will not only hire Qian Luocha to kill them."
Murong Ke's face was gloomy. "Who wants to kill them?"
"I've checked. It's from the capital. The price is very high, ten million taels." Teng Ye said.
Ten million taels to kill the Emperor and Empress? How is this high? The Empress Dowager really did such a thing. He used to think that she was a gentle person, but it seemed that she disguised herself really well.
"What about the original owner of this inn?" Murong Ke asked lightly.
"In the woodshed. We didn't hurt them." Qiu Niang hurriedly said, afraid that the owner would be angry.
Murong Ke glanced at them. "You guys can go back. I know about this."
Teng Ye immediately said, "Pavilion Master, let us stay here. Since the people they want to kill are the Emperor and Empress, they definitely wouldn't just hire Qian Luocha. Maybe there are other Jianghu assassins. It would be good for us to stay here and have some helpers."
"There's no need for that. If you hadn't asked them to reveal my whereabouts, would you have waited for us here? Leaving you here will only invite danger. Leave before it gets dark, "Murong Ke said coldly.
Teng Ye had originally wanted to take this opportunity to stay by Murong Ke's side, but it seemed that he had not forgiven him. "Yes, Lord."
Murong Ke glanced at them and asked coldly, "Who else knows your whereabouts?"
He didn't look at Teng Ye. If it wasn't for Teng Ye's own selfishness, they wouldn't have appeared here. He had already given the order that no matter how much money it was, Qian Luocha couldn't accept any more killing jobs. They didn't appear at the inn to kill people, but to remind him that it was too eye-catching.
"No one else knows." Qiu Niang looked at Teng Ye sympathetically. How strange. Didn't the Pavilion Master trust Teng Ye a lot in the past? Why did the Pavilion Master not seem to want to talk to Teng Ye now?
Murong Ke nodded indifferently. "Leave this place. Don't reveal your whereabouts."
Teng Ye looked at Murong Ke who disappeared at the entrance of the stairs. He felt a sense of defeat.
Qiu Niang looked at him carefully. "Mister Teng, what should we do?"
"Pack up and release the innkeeper and waiters. We'll leave before the black money is stolen," Teng Ye said in a low voice.
"Then … then ten million taels of silver isn't good?" Qiu Niang's eyes widened. She felt as if her heart was being cut. That was ten million taels of silver.
Teng Ye asked coldly, "Do you want money or your life?"
Qiu Niang was stunned. "Life is more important."
"Let's go." Teng Ye said. If he knew this would happen, he would have investigated who wanted to kill Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao. Perhaps this would have made the Pavilion Master forgive him.
Speaking of which, there should not be many people in the capital who wanted to kill these two people.
At this time, Ye Zhen sat down in the room. After two days of walking, this inn was the most comfortable. She could finally sleep well tonight.
"It's really rare to have such an inn in such a remote place." Ye Zhen smiled and said to Mo Rongzhan who had already entered the door.
"So relaxed, aren't you afraid of running into a black inn?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ye Zhen deliberately showed a frightened expression. "Yes, it may be a black inn. What should we do?"
"Hahaha." Mo Rongzhan laughed aloud. "Even if it is a black inn, there's nothing we can do about it. We can only take it as the bad luck of those who run the black inn."
"You speak as if it's true." Ye Zhen glanced at him and smiled.
Mo Rongzhan smiled and shook his head. If it weren't for Murong Ke, then this inn would really be a black inn. Why would the people of Qian Luocha appear here? It was not difficult to guess. Most likely, they were here to kill him.
"Didn't you say you wanted to take a bath? Let Hong Ying fetch water for you. Have a good rest tonight. "Mo Rongzhan said softly.
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. "I've asked Hong Ying to fetch hot water."
Mo Rongzhan put his hand on her lower abdomen. "There are still a few months before the birth, and this belly is already so big. This … is it really okay?"
"No problem. You see, I'm still walking as if I'm flying." Ye Zhen said with a smile. She now insists on walking for an hour every day to make it easier to give birth in the future. Even if she is too tired, she must persist.
"Every time I look at you walking in front of me, I am frightened." Mo Rongzhan pinched the tip of her nose.
Ye Rou raised her eyes and gazed into his deep, dark eyes. A sweet warmth welled up in her heart. "When I give birth, you have to be by my side. I heard that women giving birth is like stepping into a coffin …"
"Don't say such things!" Mo Rongzhan's face changed. "Can such inauspicious words be said casually?"
Ye Zhen stuck out her pink tongue. "That's what people say. You will be by my side, right?"
Mo Rongzhan kissed the corner of her mouth. "If I don't accompany you, who should I accompany?"
"I'm going to take a bath. Do you want to come with me?" Ye Zhen blinked and asked.
"Yao Yao …" Mo Rongzhan took a deep breath. "How are you going to extinguish the fire for me?"
Ye Zhen bit his thin lips and smiled. "I'm not telling you."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes suddenly darkened and became deeper.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Marquis requests an audience." Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside.
The room's flirtatious atmosphere was interrupted.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Ye Zhen helplessly and kissed her on the cheek. "I will keep it for next time."
