Ye Yiqing held Ye Zhen in his arms. Her clothes had been changed, and her face was pale. Not long ago, she was beautiful and beautiful, but now she had no breath at all. It was hard to believe that she had passed away. Ye Yiqing held Ye Zhen in his arms.
Even so, they knew that Ye Yiqing was the Emperor's father-in-law and did not dare to let him leave with the Empress easily.
"Today, I must leave with my daughter. If you want to stop me, feel free to come." Ye Yi coldly looked at Wu Chong, who was blocking his way. He had already made preparations when he arrived at Chengde Manor. Now that Yaoyao was dead, there was even less of a need for him to fear them.
"Lord Ye, please don't make it difficult for us. The Empress … must wait for the Emperor to come back!" Wu Chong whispered. If the Emperor came back without seeing the Empress for the last time, he could not imagine how the Emperor would feel.
Ye Yiqing sneered. "Your Emperor has a new Imperial Concubine. Naturally, he will not care about a dead Empress!"
Wu Chong did not give way. "Lord Ye, please wait!"
"Get lost!" Ye Yiqing spat out a word.
At this time, several men dressed in ordinary clothes appeared around and quickly came to Ye Yiqing's side. "Lord!"
"You have worked hard!" Ye Yiqing looked at them and felt a little guilty. He was afraid that there would be a fierce battle before he could leave here.
"Lord, you take the girl away and leave here to us!" the leader said.
Wu Chong was taken aback. When did these people enter the villa?
Ye Yiqing walked out of Daohua Courtyard step by step with Ye Zhen in his arms. Wu Chong could not order to stop them at all. They could not hurt the Empress's body, nor could they really kill Ye Yiqing.
Outside Daohua Courtyard, Ye Yiqing's carriage was still there.
"Stop them!" Wu Chong had no choice but to order.
Ye Yiqing jumped up with Ye Zhen in his arms and kicked away those who were about to rush up. Hong Ying also joined the guards. "Master, take the Empress to the carriage first!"
"If you want to take my daughter away by force, both sides will suffer in the end. Tell Mo Rongzhan that we don't want to see him again!" Ye Yiqing carried Ye Zhen into the carriage and looked at Wu Chong coldly.
Outside Daohua Courtyard were the secret guards arranged by Mo Rongzhan. It was not difficult for them to stop Ye Yiqing, but they did not dare to deal with him in a strong way. What if the Empress was hurt?
Wu Chong decided not to confront Ye Yiqing. "Let Lord Ye leave!"
Tang Zhen and Xue Lin had gone to the Emperor one after another. He believed that the Emperor would soon know the news of the Empress. He followed Ye Yiqing all the way until the Emperor caught up with him. Ye Yiqing couldn't compete with the Emperor for the Empress.
"Let's go!" Ye Yiqing knew what Wu Chong was thinking. He did not want to say more at this time. Since it could reduce the casualties, he was naturally happy to see it happen. As for whether Wu Chong could follow him, it would depend on the ability of these Dark Guards.
Hong Ling and Hong Ying got into the carriage. They still couldn't believe that the Empress had passed away like this. Looking at Ye Zhen in Ye Yiqing's arms, Hong Ling called out softly, "Empress …"
Ye Yiqing resisted the grief in his heart and gently put Ye Zhen on the long couch. "What the hell is going on? Didn't your Queen know that her fetus was not in the right position before she gave birth?"
"The Empress always said that it would be smooth. She never mentioned that the fetus was not in the right position. She was supposed to give birth in a few days. If it were not for Hu Yue 'er today, the Empress would not have been affected." Hong Ling now hated Hu Yue' er to the bone.
"Who is Hu Yue 'er?" Ye Yiqing asked in a cold voice, staring at Ye Zhen.
"It's Empress Shu in the palace. The emperor conferred her the title not long ago." Hong Ying said.
Ye Yiqing's eyes were slightly cold. "What did she say to Yao Yao?"
"When she was in the room, Your Ladyship sent us out. This servant only heard her say that the Emperor wasn't in Jingdou. Your Ladyship never knew of this matter. It must have been because of this that she was provoked!" As Hong Ling spoke, tears fell.
"What about Hu Yue 'er?" Ye Yiqing asked in a low voice. He did not see any other unfamiliar women in Daohua Courtyard.
Hong Ying said, "The Empress said not to kill her. She asked me to send her back to the palace."
Ye Yiqing did not ask any more questions. The carriage had left Chengde Villa quickly, and Wu Chong and others had been riding behind.
"Yao Yao …" Ye Yiqing's hand gently touched Ye Zhen's hair. "You can survive that time. You can survive this time. Do you understand, Yao Yao?"
Ye Zhen's skin was still warm, and her hands did not become stiff. Except for her pale complexion and breathing, her heartbeat was gone. She looked like she was asleep, not dead at all.
Ye Yiqing was the only person who knew that Ye Zhen had the secret of space. He did not believe that Ye Zhen would die so easily. How many people had been saved by the spirit spring? Could it not save herself?
He did not believe it … There must be a miracle!
"Don't stop the carriage. Change horses when we get to the next place." Ye Yiqing whispered. "Let someone lead the people behind in two days."
"Master, where are you taking the Empress?" Hong Ling could not help but ask.
Ye Yiqing said faintly, "If she is still alive, she will never return to the capital. If she is dead … she will be buried in the sea. Mo Rongzhan will never see her again in this life, let alone repent in front of her grave."
He now regretted that he had promised Ye Zhen to remarry Mo Rongzhan. He knew that an emperor always had many choices. Mo Rongzhan now hurt Ye Zhen with his last resort.
Hong Ling buried her face gently in Ye Zhen's hand. "This servant really hopes to be able to bear such a sin for the Empress. This servant would rather die …"
"I don't believe that the Empress will just … go …" Hong Ying said hoarsely.
The sky was getting dark. Their carriage was already far away from the capital. Ye Yiqing did not stop the carriage but went south along the official road.
Wu Chong, who was following, became more and more anxious. He did not know when the emperor would arrive, let alone where Ye Yiqing wanted to go.
"Master Wu, the Li River is just ahead. Ye Yiqing will not want to go by water, will he?" Someone asked Wu Chong worriedly.
Wu Chong's face changed. "Hurry up and send the news back. Lord Ye wants to leave by water!"
"I'll go right away!" the man whispered.
On the other side, Xue Lin finally met Mo Rongzhan two hundred miles away from the capital after a day of running wildly.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is having a difficult labor. She has … has …" Xue Lin could not utter the word 'death'.
Mo Rongzhan grabbed him from his horse. "What happened to the Empress?"
Xue Lin's gums were bleeding. "Your Majesty, the Empress has passed away!"
