Although he met the assassins at the inn, Mo Rongzhan stayed for the night. The two assassins' jaws were dislocated and the poison hidden in their gums was taken out before they were forced to confess. After they confessed that they were Qiu Yaozong, the two assassins were also brought back to Qian Luocha.
Murong Ke had long known about the existence of the Thousand-hand Spiders, but they were from different camps after all. He had also told Qian Luosha not to take on the business of killing people, but he couldn't care less about other people's business, so he didn't care much about these poisonous spiders. However, since they dared to make a move on Yaoyao, they couldn't blame Qian Luosha for not tolerating them.
"Pass the order back, destroy the Thousand-hand Spider, leave no one alive." Murong Ke said faintly to Song Jiong.
Song Jiong was shocked. He had not seen the pavilion master so ruthless for many years. He did not expect that after so many years of cultivation, the pavilion master would always make an exception for the same woman, but it was someone else's wife!
If only Lu Yaoyao was not the empress.
"Yes, pavilion master." Song Jiong bowed his head, feeling pity for the pavilion master.
Murong Ke walked out of the room and saw Ye Zhen downstairs in the corridor. A gentle smile flashed in his eyes and he walked down. "Yao Yao, you got up so early!"
Ye Zhen rarely got up early today. She asked Hong Ying to accompany her downstairs. After yesterday's incident, Wu Chong and the other guards did not dare to stay too far away from her and followed her closely.
"I'm going to go out for a walk." Ye Zhen said with a smile and looked at Murong Ke. "How did you come out from there?"
"I was interrogating the two assassins. I just got the information from their mouths. Where is the emperor?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "He's outside. He won't let me go out. I'm about to set off for the city."
Murong Ke nodded gently, "The closer we get to the capital, the more dangerous it will be. The emperor is doing this for your own good."
"I see." Ye Zhen smiled.
At this time, Zhao Ning came out with a bowl of fish porridge with a bright smile on her face. "Niang niang, this is the fish I caught in the stream this morning. It's very fresh."
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Miss Zhao. This concubine just wanted to eat porridge."
Murong Ke looked at Zhao Ning and then at Ye Zhen. He pursed his lips and did not speak.
Hearing Ye Zhen's words, Zhao Ning was overjoyed. Her young and immature face immediately rippled with a cheerful smile. She immediately handed the fish porridge to Hong Ying.
"It's almost time to set off. You should also go back and pack your things." Hong Ying glanced at her and said.
"Alright." Zhao Ning smiled. "Niang niang, this commoner girl will go and pack up first."
After Zhao Ning left, Murong Ke sat down opposite Ye Zhen and looked at her from head to toe.
"What's wrong with me?" Ye Zhen was scared by his stare. She wondered if there was something on her face.
"Can't you tell that the fisherwoman is too scheming? Weren't you on your guard against her before? Why are you eating her porridge today?" Murong Ke frowned as he pointed at the fish porridge in front of her. He felt sorry for Zhao Ning, but so what? She was not important at all. In the future, when she was sent back to the Qi Kingdom, he would make it up to her. He definitely could not let her have the slightest chance of harming Yao Yao.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen smiled. "If it weren't for her yesterday, I might have died."
Murong Ke said, "Because of this, you are close to her?"
"Not close, I just want to be fair to her." Ye Zhen said lightly. "She is scheming, but she has never done anything bad."
"It will be too late if we wait for her to do something good." Murong Ke said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen looked up at Murong Ke. She heard from Mo Rongzhan that Murong Ke also disliked Zhao Ning. It was probably related to the memory of her previous life.
"What bad things do you think Zhao Ning will do?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. "You said that you had a long dream. Did you dream of her?"
"Yao Yao, actually …" Murong Ke smiled bitterly, intending to remind her.
At this time, Mo Rongzhan came in from outside. "Yao Yao, we can set off."
Ye Zhen whispered to Murong Ke, "Sixth wangye, don't worry, I will know what to do."
"Ke, have you interrogated them?" Mo Rongzhan did not ask Murong Ke what they were talking about, but asked about the two killers.
"Yes, they have confessed." Murong Ke said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. "It's almost time, let's go into the city first."
Murong Ke did not look at Ye Zhen again. He knew that she was a kind person. Before Zhao Ning did anything to hurt her, she would not take the initiative to hurt this fisherwoman. It seemed that he still had to keep a closer eye on her.
If it were not for the fact that Zhao Ning was the princess of the State of Qi, he would have made the first move.
What a pity!
He should have done it when he was in Hua Village.
Mo Rongzhan came to Ye Zhen's side and saw that she was eating fish porridge. He smiled and asked, "Didn't you just eat noodles in the morning? Why are you hungry again?"
"Zhao Ning caught fish in the stream this morning. It was very fresh, so I ate a few mouthfuls." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Really?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile. He held her hand and ate a few mouthfuls. "Well, let's go."
Ye Zhen held his hand. "There must be a lot of danger on the way back. It is better for me to stay here. You and Sixth wangye go back first. When the capital is calm, you can pick me up."
"Don't talk nonsense." Mo Rongzhan took her hand. "You are my empress, and your child is my flesh and blood. I will not allow others to say a word of humiliation. I will take you back."
He wanted to take Ye Zhen back to let the world know that she was his woman and that no one could slander and humiliate her.
He had long known that the Empress Dowager deliberately insulted Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen looked at him with a smile. "Good."
The way back was smooth. When they were about to reach the city gate, more than a dozen people blocked their way, but Mo Rongzhan did not need to do anything at all. Tang Zhen had already brought people out to open the way for them.
"When did Tang Zhen return to the capital?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully. Tang Zhen was Mo Rongzhan's confidant. What was the Empress Dowager thinking when she knew that Tang Zhen was back?
"He came back a few days ago and hasn't entered the city yet." Mo Rongzhan said faintly. Although he didn't remember Tang Zhen, she had been explaining to him all the time. He still knew that Tang Zhen was his former confidant.
Ye Zhen looked up at him. "You have been in touch with Tang Zhen for a long time?"
Mo Rongzhan looked down at her and smiled. "Yes."
"You're so annoying." Ye Zhen patted his arm. "I was worried about you for so long."
"You have so little confidence in me?" Mo Rongzhan laughed.
Ye Zhen gave him an angry look. They must be able to enter the palace unimpeded all the way. She just didn't know what the situation in the palace was now.
Would the Empress Dowager realize her mistake and mend her ways?
Although she didn't like the Empress Dowager very much now, she still hoped that she could change her mind and at least let Mo Rongzhan feel that he was still her son.
