Mo Rongzhan already felt uneasy when he was in Jiangzhou. He rushed all the way back to the capital for fear that someone would leak the news of him leaving the palace to Ye Zhen. He was even more afraid that she would let her imagination run wild. He wanted to go back and explain to her as soon as possible.
He knew that Yaoyao liked to dominate him and did not like him touching other women, let alone marrying a princess of the Qi Kingdom. Therefore, he did not want Yaoyao to worry before he found a solution so that her imagination would not run wild.
"… The Empress was determined to see Consort Shu. If we didn't bring Consort Shu to the villa, the Empress would personally go to the Imperial Palace. We really had no choice … Not long after the Empress saw Consort Shu, her pregnancy was affected. She didn't give birth for three days and three nights. She kept calling for Your Majesty and then fell into a deep sleep. Fortunately, Lord Ye came and the Empress … woke up … but not long after, there was news of a hemorrhage …" Xue Lin endured Mo Rongzhan's increasingly horrifying gaze and stammered out what had happened.
Mo Rongzhan felt his vision darken and he almost fell off his horse.
What is called hemorrhage What is called passing away
"What did you say? How dare you curse the empress …" Mo Rongzhan kicked Xue Lin away. He thought of Yaoyao's beautiful face. How could he believe that she would leave him just like that?
Xue Lin spat out a mouthful of blood from the kick. He knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. "Emperor, quickly return. Lord Ye wants to take the Empress away … …"
Mo Rongzhan seemed to be unable to hear Xue Lin's words. His heart was empty. He was unwilling to believe that his Yaoyao had left just like that.
How could this be …
She always liked to hook his fingers and say that she wanted to grow old with him. How could she just leave him like this?
Mo Rongzhan felt as if someone had dug out a piece of flesh from his heart. He didn't even feel the pain anymore.
"Emperor, Emperor!" Tang Zhen shouted loudly. When he heard that Yao Yao had a difficult birth, he was already heartbroken. Seeing the Emperor like this, he knew that the Emperor must be even more shocked and grieved than him.
Hearing Tang Zhen's cry, Mo Rongzhan woke up. A fishy sweetness rushed to his throat, and he swallowed it down. "Come back with me."
He did not believe that Yaoyao would leave just like that. She loved him so much, how could she bear to leave him?
Mo Rongzhan whipped the horse hard and returned to Chengde Mountain Villa in one breath
Just as he entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of Pei Shi crying. Mo Rongzhan's heart sank as he strode into the delivery room.
A sweet, pungent odor permeated the room.
"Your Majesty …" Qi Jin discovered Mo Rongzhan and hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes stared straight at the bloodstains on the bed. "Where is Yaoyao? Where is she?"
"Emperor!" Pei shi raised her head from her grief. She finally saw Mo Rongzhan return. The grief of losing her beloved daughter made her forget all respect. She suddenly stood up and slapped Mo Rongzhan's face, "Why did you only come back now, why did you only come back now! How could you treat Yaoyao like this? You knew that she was about to give birth. You … you knew that she was so delicate. How could you marry someone else at this time? You killed her, you killed her! "
"How dare you!" The secret guard behind Mo Rongzhan berated Pei Shi.
Mo Rongzhan stood motionless, his eyes fixed on the pool of blood on the bed.
Such a small, delicate person. Could she still be alive after losing so much blood?
Pei shi cried out loud. Her daughter, such a good daughter, died like this. She didn't care whether she was bold or not. "God, exchange my life for Yaoyao's return. I want my daughter …"
"Medical Officer Qi!" Mo Rongzhan looked at Qi Jin with difficulty. "The Empress …"
His voice was hoarse and difficult, with a weight and grief that even he didn't find!
Qi Jin lowered her head with tears. "The Empress was pregnant with twins. The fetal position was not right and it was difficult to give birth. She received the moxa stick to correct the fetal position. It didn't take long for her to bleed. It's this official's incompetence!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Ye took the Empress away. Should we …"
Mo Rongzhan turned and walked out. He mounted the horse again without expression and said in a low voice, "Lead the way!"
Yaoyao … His Yaoyao …
Tang Zhen looked worriedly at Mo Rongzhan in front of him. He knew how many days the Emperor had not rested. At this time, when he heard the news of the Empress's death, he was calm as if nothing had happened.
Tang Zhen knew how the Emperor and Yaoyao came to this day. Even he couldn't accept such news. How could the Emperor face it calmly?
He was really worried about the Emperor …
Not long after they left Chengde Villa, they met the people sent by Wu Chong. Learning that Ye Yiqing took Ye Zhen in the direction of Li River, Mo Rongzhan chased after them without stopping.
At this time, Ye Yiqing, who had arrived at the Li River pier, was stopped by Wu Chong.
"Lord Ye, even if you want to leave, you should let His Majesty see the Empress!" Wu Chong called out. He definitely could not let Ye Yiqing board the ship. He knew that there must be a problem with Ye Yiqing heading in the direction of Li River. Aside from a large ship, there were no other ships here. If Ye Yiqing boarded the ship, they wouldn't be able to catch up even if they wanted to.
This was prepared by Ye Yiqing early in the morning. Even if nothing happened to the Empress, he might take the Empress away!
"Lord, you get on the boat first!" More than a dozen people who had been following Ye Yiqing stood in front of Wu Chong, vowing to protect Ye Yiqing to leave.
Ye Yiqing glanced at them, "I owe you and I will remember it."
While they blocked Wu Chong's people, Ye Zhen carried Ye Zhen onto the boat and immediately ordered the boat to leave.
"Lord Ye!" Wu Chong shouted and told the people behind him, "Go and find a boat!"
This boat was arranged by Ye Yiqing early in the morning. The hull was not big, but it was suitable for running on the river and faster than cargo ships. The Li River was not as big as the sea, so such a boat was the most suitable. As for why there was only one boat left at the pier, naturally, Ye Yiqing arranged it on the way.
He would not let Mo Rongzhan have a chance to catch up!
The boat soon reached the center of the river. Ye Yiqing handed Ye Zhen to Hong Ying and asked her to carry her in.
He stood on the deck of the ship and saw the people who blocked Wu Chong for him being killed. They were his trusted subordinates who had followed him from Dongqing. For his safety, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to protect him. He would remember them. He would never mistreat their families.
In the twilight, he saw a horse appear like lightning. Ye Yiqing's eyes became cold and sharp. He looked at the man who came to the pier with anger.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes looked at the boat that was gradually disappearing. He saw Ye Yiqing and the murderous look in his eyes.
Yao Yao …
"Tang Zhen," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "Go to Jinkou City."
He knew that Ye Yiqing would definitely take Yao Yao to Jinkou City. Otherwise, he would not choose to go by water.
Tang Zhen saw Mo Rongzhan fall straight from the back of the horse.
