Mo Rongyi looked at Zhao Ning who was flying out of the restaurant, and his heart was filled with doubt. He had just heard Zhao Xin speak with someone, and although it was Zhao Ning, it should be the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince fighting over the position of Marquis Anning. He had heard his brother speak about the situation in the Qi Kingdom. Although Marquis Anning was the uncle of the Eldest Princess, he had never been close to the Eldest Princess, and he had never been roped in by the two princes. Now that the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince were getting older, no matter who they were, if they could rope in Marquis Anning, it would be extremely beneficial to their future.
In order to prevent the Second Prince from marrying her sister to Marquis Anning, the Eldest Princess could only choose between the Fourth Princess and Zhao Ning. The Eldest Princess definitely did not trust the Fourth Princess, so she chose Zhao Ning. This was because Zhao Ning would have no one to rely on in Qi. Zhao Xin had been taunting and bullying Zhao Ning along the way. Once they reached Qi, if the Eldest Princess treated her better, Zhao Ning would definitely rely on the Eldest Princess.
The scheming of these princesses was not ordinary at all.
Mo Rongyi felt some sympathy for Zhao Ning.
He followed them out of the restaurant and saw Zhao Ning's horse carriage leaving.
"Little prince, there is an urgent letter from the Emperor." Mo Rongyi was about to mount his horse when the bodyguard sent by his brother whispered to him.
Mo Rongyi's eyes darkened as he whispered, "Where is the letter?"
Sun Jun took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Mo Rongyi. He looked around vigilantly.
"Let's go back." Mo Rongyi quickly read the letter. He knew that Dongqing had betrayed Jin. His heart was heavy as he urged his horse back to the guest house.
Zhao Ning had already returned to his room. Mo Rongyi met Zhao Xin outside the guest house.
"Little prince, why did you come back right after Zhao Ning?" Zhao Xin looked at Mo Rongyi with a burning gaze. She was jealous that he was always so patient with Zhao Ning, but would not even look at her.
Mo Rongyi's expression was normal as he said, "I heard that there was a landslide in front of us, so I went to take a look. I'm afraid that we will have to stay at the guest house for another two days before we can return."
When Zhao Xin heard this, her expression changed. She wanted to return to the Qi Kingdom as soon as possible so that she could settle the marriage between Zhao Ning and Marquis Anning. "Is there no other way?"
"There are. If the Princess is not afraid of the night and needs to spend the night in the mountains, you might have to find a dilapidated temple or cave if it rains. This King doesn't mind, but the Princess's precious body might not be used to it. At this time, there are still a lot of snakes and insects. This King is also just in case." Mo Rongyi said with a normal expression.
"What?" Zhao Xin's expression changed again. She felt goosebumps all over her body when she thought about spending the night in the mountains and there were snakes and insects. "Then … then let's wait for another two days."
Mo Rongyi said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble the princess."
Zhao Xin glanced at him, "If these two animals wanted to go somewhere, would the young prince accompany them?"
"That depends on where the princess is going," Mo Rongyi said.
"Are you engaged?" Zhao Xin suddenly asked.
Mo Rongyi coughed lightly, "Princess, whether this King is engaged or not … has nothing to do with this?"
Zhao Xin looked at him. He should be about 15 or 16 years old. At this age, even an ordinary family would have been engaged. He was a prince of Jin Kingdom and the younger brother of the Emperor. He should have been engaged long ago. One had to know that her two brothers got married at the age of 13 or 14.
"I'm just asking, is this a secret that cannot be told?" Zhao Xin raised her eyebrows and asked.
This was naturally not a secret. Mo Rongyi just felt that there was no need to tell her. "Of course it's not a secret."
Zhao Xin asked with a smile, "I guess it's not yet."
Mo Rongyi smiled faintly, "Princess, it's getting late. You should go back and rest."
"Alright." Zhao Xin returned the greeting and left with the servant girl.
Sun Jun walked to Mo Rongyi's side, "Young Prince, what's going on with the landslide?"
Mo Rongyi said in a low voice, "My brother is already on the way. Dongqing has become a vassal of the Dark North Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom must form an alliance."
"Doesn't that mean … marrying the Princess of the Qi Kingdom?" Sun Jun was shocked and looked in the direction that Zhao Xin had left. If this princess became an imperial concubine, then the Jin Kingdom's harem would be in chaos.
"We'll know when my brother arrives." Mo Rongyi said in a low voice, "Go and arrange for the landslide."
Sun Jun nodded lightly, "Your subordinate will go now."
At this time, Zhao Yong, who had not yet reached Black Mountain, had also heard about the incident in Dongqing. He was already annoyed and felt like his whole body was about to explode when he heard about this.
"Li Heng did not have Ye Yiqing as Prime Minister, so he started to do such brainless things." Song Hongao frowned and said. Dongqing could survive until today because of Ye Yiqing.
"This proves Ye Yiqing's importance." Zhao Yong's eyes flashed sharply. Would Ye Yiqing return to the Jin Kingdom as Prime Minister? If that was the case, then Mo Rongzhan would be like a tiger that had grown wings.
Song Hongao said, "This way, the Jin Kingdom will be in trouble. If they don't ally with the Qi Kingdom, Ye Chunnan will be in danger in Xiliang."
"If Ye Chunnan dies, do you think Ye Yiqing will still help Mo Rongzhan?" Zhao Yong suddenly said with a smile.
"The Emperor wants to sow discord between Ye Yiqing and Mo Rongzhan? Don't forget, if Ye Chunnan loses in Xiliang, the Qi Kingdom will not benefit. Also … Lu Yaoyao is Ye Yiqing's biological daughter. "Song Hongao reminded Zhao Yong not to lose the bigger picture because of a small gain.
Zhao Yong raised his eyebrows. It seemed that using Ye Chunnan to sow discord between them would not work. "Li Heng, that son of a b * tch!"
Song Hongao said, "Will Mo Rongzhan really go to the Qi Kingdom personally to propose? If he doesn't come, then … then we will form an alliance? "
"No matter what, we can't let the Dark North Kingdom grow stronger because of this." Zhao Yong felt a headache coming on. If it was in the past, he wouldn't care if Mo Rongzhan came to propose marriage. But now, he thought of what Lu Yaoyao had said. If he really was sick, how long could he last?
Although Lu Yaoyao didn't say it explicitly, he could vaguely feel that his body was being hollowed out because of this illness.
"Send someone to the Jin Kingdom to find out. If Mo Rongzhan wants an alliance, then we will set the marriage and send our troops immediately." Zhao Yong said in a low voice.
Song Hongao didn't expect Zhao Yong to change his mind. "Your Majesty?"
"I'm afraid we don't have much time. We have to at least let the Qi Kingdom be at peace while we can still fight." Zhao Yong said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, you will see Valley Master Duanmu in two days. You will definitely be fine." Song Hongao was shocked. "Even if Valley Master Duanmu can't do anything, isn't there still Lu Yaoyao?"
"Are you going to capture Lu Yaoyao?" Zhao Yong asked with a smile.
Song Hongao clenched his fist. "Why not?"
