Mo Rongzhan came to the lobby and found that the innkeeper had been replaced. The original merchant and the lady boss were gone. The innkeeper was a middle-aged man with a trembling face. He looked like a loyal and honest man. He looked at Mo Rongzhan and the others with eyes full of gratitude.
If it weren't for these guests staying at the inn, his family would have lost their lives and the inn would have been gone.
"Your Majesty." Murong Ke came to Mo Rongzhan's side and said in a low voice, "This is the innkeeper of the original inn. I've already investigated and there's no problem."
Mo Rongzhan walked to the corner and sat down. He looked up at Murong Ke, "Where are your people?"
"I've already let them go." Murong Ke poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Mo Rongzhan, "Your Majesty, someone in the capital offered ten million taels to kill you and Yao Yao."
"Yao Yao!" Mo Rongzhan's expression turned cold, "Yao Yao and I are actually only worth ten million taels?"
His tone was angry and sad. Murong Ke looked at him with a dark gaze, "Your Majesty, Qian Luocha has long stopped taking on the business of killing people. There are many people in Jianghu who are willing to do anything for money. There might not be others who will make a move."
"We will see who dares to make a move." Mo Rongzhan wasn't surprised by Murong Ke's words. Since the Empress Dowager had the ambition to seize the throne, she definitely had the intention to kill him.
Murong Ke said, "It's all my fault that they are here today. Teng Ye was my former confidant. He managed to find out my whereabouts from the people around me. There won't be a next time."
He used to treat Teng Ye as his confidant, but when he found out that Teng Ye had repeatedly tried to kill Yao Yao, he knew that he couldn't keep him by his side in the future.
"We won't do anything to Qian Luocha. Qian Luocha can be recorded as a merit for Yao Yao to be able to leave the Priest Hall. The merits and demerits offset each other." Mo Rongzhan looked at Murong Ke and said.
Murong Ke knew that Mo Rongzhan had lost his memory. He would know that Yaoyao must have told him about this. Yaoyao probably didn't want Mo Rongzhan to misunderstand her Qian Luocha. Thinking of this, Murong Ke felt a warm current in his heart.
"There aren't many people in the capital who would do this. The Empress Dowager wouldn't do it herself. Your Majesty, who else do you think would do this?" Murong Ke sat down. He had never been involved in politics. In all these years, the number of times he had returned to the capital could be counted. He couldn't quite guess who would take on this danger for the Empress Dowager.
Mo Rongzhan's face was gloomy. "If there are no accidents, it should be Qiu Yaozong."
"Qiu Yaozong!" Murong Ke was stunned. "Isn't that Imperial Uncle?"
"Yao Yao said that when I passed through the City of Wei, I sent someone back with a written order to arrest Qiu Zhenyuan. He probably hates me to the core because of his son. It was he who entered the palace and told the Empress Dowager that I was missing." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Murong Ke raised his eyebrows. "I didn't expect Qiu Yaozong to have such abilities."
Mo Rongzhan put down the teacup in his hand. "I already expected this. Just be more careful on the road."
"The Empress Dowager won't know that you are still alive. The biggest possibility is that she wants to kill Yao Yao. Yao Yao has your child in her belly." Murong Ke thought about it carefully and understood why the Empress Dowager wanted to find Qian Luocha.
"A woman's heart is the most vicious." Mo Rongzhan's lips curled into a smile. His eyes were full of mockery. The Empress Dowager probably didn't want Yao Yao's child to go back and fight for the throne with her. Even if she didn't like Yao Yao, Yao Yao had his child in her belly. She wouldn't even let her own grandson go.
If one day he was really gone, the Empress Dowager would probably kill even his posthumous child.
A fierce look flashed in Mo Rongzhan's eyes. He had to live well. Otherwise, who would protect his woman and child?
"You should return to the capital as soon as possible in case the Empress Dowager kills innocent officials." Murong Ke said.
"Yes." Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly. He thought of Lu Shiming's family. If the Empress Dowager wanted the cabinet officials to help Yi ascend the throne, Lu Shiming would definitely oppose it.
The Empress Dowager might deal with Lu Shiming.
Mo Rongzhan returned to the room to accompany Ye Zhen. Murong Ke was still sitting in the lobby. He originally planned to leave Anhe City after confirming that the dream would not become a reality. Not everyone could face the feeling of watching his beloved woman go out with another man every day. He could only tell himself that Yao Yao was very happy with Mo Rongzhan. This was enough. He could convince himself to give up.
But he forgot that if it was so easy to give up, why would he go to the priest's temple to save her?
He would only leave after everything had calmed down in the capital.
"Sixth Wangye, have you had dinner?" Zhao Ning came from the other side, holding a tray in her hand and looking at Murong Ke with a smile.
Murong Ke looked up and saw her. He almost forgot that Yao Yao still had this trouble around her. He wanted to simply send her away, but he held back. "Not yet."
Zhao Ning could tell that Murong Ke was not trying to chase her away. She happily sat down and said, "I just went to the inn's kitchen to get this. There is only one cook in the inn, and she is the lady boss. So I made a few dishes by myself. If Sixth Wangye doesn't mind, why don't you try it?"
"You made it yourself in the kitchen?" Murong Ke faintly raised his eyebrows. Song Jiong had not returned yet, so he could not determine Zhao Ning's identity. However, he already had a hunch that Zhao Ning might really be the princess of the Qi Kingdom.
"When I was in Hua Village, I had to take care of my meals." Zhao Ning laughed. "When I was eight years old, my mother died."
Murong Ke looked down at the dishes on the table. Although they were not as exquisite as those in the palace, they were still pleasing to the eye. "Have you never seen your father since you were a child?"
"Grandma said that it's not easy to find Hua Village. Those who can go there are all because of fate." Zhao Ning passed a pair of chopsticks to Murong Ke. "Sixth Wangye, you are a high and mighty Wangye. You definitely don't know how ordinary people like us miss our family."
"Hua Village is indeed not easy to find, but it is not impossible. If your father really wanted to find you and your mother, there would be no news of you for so many years. Miss Zhao, have you ever thought that once you find your father, will he really want to acknowledge you?" Murong Ke faintly asked.
Zhao Ning's expression darkened. "Mother said that my father does not know that she is pregnant. If my father is not willing to acknowledge me, then it's not like I have nowhere to go. At most, I will go back to Hua Village."
Murong Ke smiled faintly. If that was what she really thought, then she wouldn't have insisted on coming to the capital. She had probably made up her mind that if her father refused to acknowledge her, then she would pester Mo Rongzhan.
After all, the identity of the Emperor's savior was enough for her to live the rest of her life without worries.
"Acknowledge your father? What do you want to do?" Murong Ke asked softly.
Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment. "I have never thought about it."
