Zhao Ning turned around and looked at Mo Rongyi hesitantly. She knew that Mo Rongyi did not want to marry her, but she had no other choice. After weighing the pros and cons, she felt that staying in the Jin Kingdom was much safer than staying in the Qi Kingdom. Just like what the Emperor had said, she had saved him and the Empress before. If she stayed in the Jin Kingdom, she would not have a bad life.
Mo Rongyi had not reacted yet and kept staring at Mo Rongzhan.
Shen Yi said to Zhao Ning from outside, "Princess Ning, please."
Zhao Ning wanted to say a few more words to Mo Rongyi, but she did not have the time now. Let's talk later.
After Zhao Ning left, Mo Rongyi could no longer hold it in, "Brother, what's going on? Why do you want me to marry Zhao Ning?"
"I have no choice. Don't you like Zhao Ning?" If you didn't like her, you still carried her back and even changed her clothes in the carriage.
"It's not a matter of liking her, I never thought of marrying her!" Mo Rongyi cried out, feeling wronged.
Mo Rongzhan glared at him, "If you don't like her, then why don't you act like a man and a woman?"
"…" Mo Rongyi was speechless. If he knew that Zhao Ning had to change her clothes just to marry her, he would not have done it!
"We do not wish to have another concubine, and the Emperor of Qi insists on a marriage. If you marry her, it will still be a marriage alliance. After the wedding, you can explain it to Qi," Mo Rongzhan said lightly. With the Dark North Kingdom's strength, Zhao Yong would have no choice but to cooperate.
Mo Rongyi said gloomily, "Sixth brother is not married yet, why don't you let him marry Zhao Ning?"
How could he not have thought of Murong Ke? But Murong Ke was in Nanyue now, and he might not agree. He was different from Mo Rongyi!
"Your sixth brother is not suitable," Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "If there's nothing else, go back to the guest house. Don't let anyone know that we came. Send Zhao Ning and the others to the border and you can return to the capital. We have already sent people to handle the other matters …"
"What matters?" Mo Rongyi asked curiously.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him, "Go back to the guest house, you'll know in the future."
"Yes!" Mo Rongyi cried. If he had known that his brother was here for this matter, he would not have caused the mountain to collapse. "Brother, then I'll go back."
Zhao Ning was already waiting in the carriage. Mo Rongyi sat quietly on the shaft of the carriage as the servant drove the carriage away.
Shen Yi walked to Mo Rongzhan's side. "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
"Zhao Yong went to Black Mountain to look for Valley Master Duanmu. It looks like he is worried about his health," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "He sent someone to Qi to propose marriage. Apart from Zhao Ning, Jin Kingdom will not marry any other princess. Whether Zhao Yong agrees or not, that is his business."
"Yes, Your Majesty," replied Shen Yi in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the dark sky with a heavy gaze. His mood for the past few days had been the same as the sky. It was as if there was something pressing on his heart. This feeling was too familiar. He seemed to have had this feeling before in his memory.
He closed his eyes, probably because he hadn't slept for the past few days. He was definitely too tired.
"Rest for four hours and then return to the capital," Mo Rongzhan said to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi knew that the Emperor was certainly worried about the Empress in Jingdou. If the Emperor was not too tired, he would have rushed back without even resting.
As soon as Mo Rongzhan lay down on the bed, he fell asleep. In a daze, he seemed to see Yao Yao …
Isn't this the palace? Mo Rongzhan was shocked to see Yao Yao curled up in the corner alone. What's going on? He wanted to go over and hold her, but she suddenly disappeared in front of him.
He seemed to hear her mournful cry in his ears.
"Yao Yao!" Mo Rongzhan opened his eyes and sat up abruptly. He gasped for breath and saw that it was already dawn outside.
Shen Yi came in. "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The uneasiness in Mo Rongzhan's heart grew stronger and stronger. He remembered that Ye Zhen was about to give birth. She was such a delicate little person, she must be worried and afraid.
"What time is it?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"It's about five or six o 'clock. It's just dawn." Shen Yi whispered.
Mo Rongzhan got up and put on his clothes. "Let's go."
On the way back, Mo Rongzhan lived in fear every day. What if Ye Zhen gave birth before he returned? At the thought of her delicate cry of pain, his heart clenched.
On the second day after leaving Jiangzhou, Mo Rongzhan met Tang Zhen who came to find him.
"Why are you here? Did something happen in the capital?" Mo Rongzhan knew that Tang Zhen would not leave the capital for no reason. When he saw him here, his first thought was that something had happened.
Tang Zhen ran for three days and three nights, and three horses died of exhaustion. He panted and knelt in front of Mo Rongzhan. "Your Majesty, the Empress's pregnancy is affected. Medical Officer Qi said that she would give birth in advance. The Empress has been looking for you."
Mo Rongzhan panicked. "Return to the capital immediately!"
… …
… …
Cheng De Villa, Daohua Courtyard
Ye Yiqing didn't hear Ye Zhen's voice for a long time. He couldn't go in, so he could only stop Hong Ling who came out to get hot water. "How is Yao Yao?"
"Master, the Empress has woken up. Medical Officer Qi is feeding her ginseng tea."
Hearing that Yao Yao had woken up, Ye Yiqing was relieved.
Ye Zhen, who was in the room, was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She finally knew why her stomach hurt like a living fire. It turned out that it was all because of the fire phoenix! She wanted to curse the heavens. Who wanted to give birth to a bird? It didn't want to be her son, so she didn't want to give birth to it!
"Empress, are you okay?" Qi Jin watched her endure the pain and worried if she was uncomfortable.
Ye Zhen gasped lightly. "It's okay, it just hurts!"
Mammy Li went to check her, but it was still not the time to give birth. She was more and more worried. She had delivered so many noble people in her life, but she had never encountered such a difficult and dangerous one. She was really not sure that she could keep the Empress and her child safe!
"It hurts!" Ye Zhen couldn't bear it and shouted.
Medical Officer Qi asked anxiously, "Mammy Li, can you deliver the baby?"
Mammy Li was sweating. "The position of the fetus is not right. If it was a … This servant can correct the position, but now I'm afraid …"
"Use moxa!" Ye Zhen gasped. "Use moxa to correct the position of the fetus!"
"Empress, using moxa … will hurt your body!" Qi Jin whispered.
Ye Zhen said, "How can I care so much at this time?"
Damn Fire Phoenix! When it was born, she would definitely beat it to death!
Qi Jin nodded heavily. "Okay, this official will go get the moxa!"
"Where's the Emperor?" Ye Zhen's whole body seemed to be fished out of the water. She wanted to see Mo Rongzhan. He promised her that he would accompany her. "I want to see the Emperor …"
Her voice came out of the room. Ye Yiqing's face sank instantly.
