Tang Zhen, who was behind Mo Rongzhan, was startled. He caught Mo Rongzhan before he fell into the Li River, preventing him from falling into the river …
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Tang Zhen was shocked, only to find that Mo Rongzhan's face was livid and his mouth was overflowing with blood.
"Go and call Medical Officer Qi and prepare another boat!" Tang Zhen ordered in a deep voice. He knew very well that the Emperor would not want to go back to Chengde Villa to recuperate at this time. He must want to go to Jinkou City to find Yao Yao!
Wu Chong and Xue Lin looked at each other. One went to invite Qi Jin, and the other went to prepare a boat. If they couldn't catch up with the Empress, they couldn't imagine what the Emperor would do!
This was the dock. There were many ships ferrying passengers here on weekdays, but today, there was no one. It was obvious that someone deliberately did this. This place was a little far from the navy camp. Wu Chong took Tang Zhen's token to transfer a warship. The speed of the warship was certainly much faster than Ye Yiqing's ship.
Qi Jin was also invited. She saw Mo Rongzhan's face and sighed in her heart. The Emperor was so angry that he was shocked to hear of the Empress's death. She gave Mo Rongzhan acupuncture all over his body, forcing out the blood that blocked his throat.
After Mo Rongzhan spat out a mouthful of blood, he finally opened his dark and cold eyes!
"Your Majesty, you woke up!" Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Mo Rongzhan said expressionlessly. His narrow eyes were as calm as water, without a trace of grief. "Did you catch up?"
Tang Zhen shook his head gently, "Not yet …"
Mo Rongzhan said nothing. He put on his clothes and walked to the deck. At this time, night had fallen, the sky was full of bright stars, and there was no other ship in the dark river.
"Your Majesty …" Tang Zhen came out with a bowl of medicine. "You have to take care of yourself to find the Empress!"
Mo Rongzhan took the medicine from Tang Zhen's hand and drank it in one gulp. His eyes were still staring ahead, as if Yao Yao would appear.
How could he believe that his Yao Yao had left like this?
Didn't she say that she would never part with him? How could she … just leave him like this?
"Your Majesty, the Empress, she …" Tang Zhen opened his mouth to talk about Yao Yao, but found that just as he was about to speak, his voice seemed to be caught by something, and he didn't know how to speak.
Mo Rongzhan clenched his fists tightly. She must have heard everything outside the study that day. Was she waiting for him to explain to her?
She wanted to see Hu Yue 'er because he didn't say anything?
Why didn't she … understand? He was doing this for her own good. How could he marry the Princess of Qi and suppress her in the palace? Didn't she know her position in his heart?
If even he could not bear to hurt her, how could he bear to let others hurt her?
In the end, he was the one who hurt her the most.
Mo Rongzhan felt as if his throat was stuffed with cotton and his eyes were extremely sore. He did not even see what she looked like in the end. How could she be so cruel to him, leaving such a horrifying pool of blood and then leaving...
Tang Zhen bowed his head and silently retreated. Perhaps, what the emperor needed now was to be alone.
…
…
Ye Yiqing's ship changed direction after nightfall. Instead of heading for the inland river, they planned to enter the Yue River from the Li River and then go straight out to sea.
Hong Ling and Hong Ying had been guarding the silent Ye Zhen. Seeing the blood on Ye Zhen's body, Hong Ying also went to fetch hot water. But when she was wiping Ye Zhen's body, she suddenly felt Ye Zhen's belly wriggling, which frightened her and made her scream on the spot.
Ye Yiqing, who was outside, heard it and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"My … My Lord, the Empress's belly is moving!" Hong Ying's voice trembled.
Ye Yiqing's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. "Is it a fetal movement?"
Hong Ling hurriedly put on Ye Zhen's clothes again and then opened the cabin door. "Master, it seems … it seems that the little prince inside is moving!"
"There's still fetal movement!" Ye Yiqing hurriedly came to Ye Zhen's side and gently placed his palm on her belly. Sure enough, he felt a slight wriggling sensation inside. Moreover, she was still warm and his hand was soft. Yao Yao was not dead at all!
Ye Yiqing was overjoyed. "Yao Yao, Yao Yao!"
However, no matter how he called Ye Zhen's name, she still did not move.
What the hell happened?
"My Lord …" Hong Ling said, "The Empress doesn't seem to be … dead yet. Let's see …"
Ye Yiqing didn't think that Yao Yao's condition could be cured by a doctor. He was afraid that it had something to do with her space.
"No, there's no need to call a doctor." Ye Yiqing looked down at Ye Zhen. She looked like she was asleep, wrapped in a cocoon, waiting for her to break out of the cocoon.
Hong Ying glanced at Ye Yiqing. "Then … where are we going?"
"To the sea!" Ye Yiqing said in a deep voice. "If you don't want to go with us, I will send you back to the capital!"
"This servant wants to follow the Empress!" Hong Ying said immediately. How could she rest assured to leave the Empress alone? She just didn't expect that Ye Yiqing would take the Empress to the sea. Was this a kind of destiny? The Empress looked at her overseas travel every day, and now she was really going to the sea!
Hong Ling also said, "This servant also wants to follow the Empress!"
Ye Yiqing nodded gently. "Put on more clothes for your Empress. It's cold at night."
When he went out of the cabin, a man wearing a bamboo hat came over. "Second Uncle, Yuejiang is ahead. Tian Jiu and Man Qin will wait for us by the river. We don't have much time. After boarding the ship, we will go to sea immediately."
"Well, when the time comes, smash this ship. Don't let anyone find out," Ye Yiqing whispered.
"But with Yao Yao's current condition, don't you really need to call a doctor?"
Ye Yiqing glanced at him. "Yao Yao is a doctor. She will wake up."
"You take her away like this. If she wakes up and finds out, won't she ask you to go back?" The man in the bamboo hat raised his eyebrows. He took off the bamboo hat, revealing a handsome face. If Ye Zhen saw him, she would surely recognize his identity.
He was Ye Chundong, the illegitimate son of Ye Yisong. At that time, he was hated by Madame Ye and could not return to the Ye family. Who would have thought that he had been working for Ye Yiqing outside?
Ye Yiqing smiled faintly. "When Yao Yao wakes up, she will definitely not want to go back."
No one knows a daughter better than her father. Yao Yao must be yearning for life overseas. Even if she is reluctant to part with Mo Rongzhan, so what?
Mo Rongzhan, this stinky boy, is not worth Yao Yao's return at all!
