Jin nation, Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Eunuch Fu stood outside the main hall with a tray in his hand. His eyes were filled with deep worry. The Emperor had been working tirelessly these past few days. Yesterday, he even told Marquis Jingning that he would personally go out to battle. He didn't know how far the Emperor wanted to force him.
Jin Kingdom's current situation was not good. Not only did they have to face the threat of the Northern Underworld Kingdom and Dongqing Kingdom, the noble families of South Yue also seemed to be opposing the imperial court. The imperial family was restless and had no idea what they wanted to say. If the Empress was by his side, the Emperor could still find peace with her after dealing with these difficulties. Now … other than reading the memorials in Yongshou Palace every night, he had not seen the Emperor smile for a long time.
When would the Empress come back?
Eunuch Fu walked in quietly. "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."
"Just leave it," Mo Rongzhan said lightly. He was still engrossed in reading the memorials and had no intention of eating at all.
"Your Majesty, this is the third time you've sent me lunch." If he didn't eat now, it would be time to send him dinner.
Mo Rongzhan frowned in displeasure. "Is it your turn to control me now?"
Eunuch Fu hurriedly knelt down, "This servant doesn't dare, it's just … just that in the past, Your Highness always told this servant to take care of His Majesty's three meals a day and not waste time, or else his stomach will be damaged. This servant remembers Your Highness's words, so … so …"
If Yaoyao knew that he didn't eat on time, she would definitely be angry.
What would Yaoyao do when she was angry? She would definitely deliberately say in a delicate and soft voice that she did not want to become the Empress Dowager so soon. If he did not cherish his own body, she would marry someone else and definitely did not want to be a widow.
Mo Rongzhan recalled the last time she deliberately said those words to anger him. He was so angry that he pressed her under his body so that she didn't have the energy to think about these trivial things. However, he ate on time for a long time.
She wasn't back yet … Why wasn't she back yet …
"Set the table." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. He wanted to cherish his body and not give her the chance to remarry.
Yaoyao... is she awake?
Mo Rongzhan ate as if he was chewing wax, wondering what Yaoyao was doing right now. He firmly believed that his Yaoyao had woken up, but had yet to find her way back to find him.
Ye Yiqing would not let her come back.
Eunuch Fu saw that Mo Rongzhan was deep in thought and guessed that he was definitely thinking about the Empress. He lowered his head and slowly retreated. Outside the doors of the hall, he saw Marquis Jingning who had come to see the Emperor.
"Eunuch Fu, please inform him that I have something to see the emperor." Tang Zhen whispered to Eunuch Fu.
"Marquis, His Majesty has been reading the memorials for a long time and only now has the time to sit down and eat lunch. If you are not in time, wait another fifteen minutes and let His Majesty eat lunch first," Eunuch Fu said in a low voice.
Tang Zhen was slightly startled, "Your Majesty forgot to eat again?"
It was not that he had forgotten, but that he had no mood or appetite at all. "Marquis, is there still no news from the Empress?"
"The Emperor has already sent people out to sea. If they find the Empress, there will be news back." Tang Zhen whispered. The emperor couldn't go out to sea to find Yao Yao himself, but he still sent people out to sea. It was just that the sea was vast, where could they go to find her?
Eunuch Fu sighed inwardly.
Tang Zhen's eyes were filled with deep sadness. The Emperor seemed to be indifferent, but he must be very sad in his heart.
No one knew if Yao Yao could wake up … If she had really … What should the Emperor do in this life?
"Is Tang Zhen here?" Mo Rongzhan's low and hoarse voice came from the hall.
Tang Zhen restrained the helplessness in his heart, lowered his head and walked in, "Your subject greets the Emperor."
"Is there any news from Xiliang?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, in Xiliang … Ye Chunnan secretly sent someone back to inquire about the news, but after he learned of the situation, there was no abnormality and he was still training in the barracks." Tang Zhen whispered. He didn't know if Ye Chunnan was trying to restrain his emotions or if he had received other reassuring news.
The tight string in Mo Rongzhan's heart was finally relaxed. Ye Chunnan didn't leave Xiliang to find him, which proved that Yao Yao must be fine. Ye Yiqing must have sent someone to tell him.
"Send someone …" Mo Rongzhan wanted to let the secret guard approach Ye Chunnan, but he stopped himself. It would not be so easy to get the news of Yao Yao from Ye Chunnan's mouth. It would be better to wait until he personally went to battle. "Is there anything else?"
Tang Zhen didn't know what Mo Rongzhan wanted to say at the beginning. He said, "There is news from the Qi Kingdom. Zhao Yong agreed to marry Zhao Ning, but he asked that if Zhao Ning gave birth to a prince in the future, she must be named Empress."
Mo Rongzhan's mouth floated a cold smile. "It seems that Zhao Yong didn't read the marriage proposal carefully."
"Your Majesty, if Zhao Yong knows that Princess Zhao Ning is married to the little prince in the future, I'm afraid … he won't let it go so easily." Tang Zhen said.
"Didn't our messenger make it clear that our Jin Kingdom asked for a marriage alliance, and didn't say that Zhao Ning would become an Imperial Concubine? Didn't Zhao Yong say that he would only marry his daughter if I went personally? I didn't go personally. " Mo Rongzhan said lightly. It was really because of what Zhao Yong said at that time that he had an excuse to deal with him in the future.
Tang Zhen had long known that Mo Rongzhan would not make the Princess of the Qi Kingdom an Imperial Concubine. He looked at Mo Rongzhan. "Then … is it time to prepare to marry Zhao Ning?"
"I will let the little prince marry her." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
"Yes." Tang Zhen sighed in his heart. "Then … the matter of the emperor personally going to battle, will you not reconsider?"
Mo Rongzhan said lightly. "There is no need to reconsider. You stay in the capital. The matter of Nanyue and the royal family cannot be relaxed. This matter will be handed over to you and A 'Yi."
"Your Majesty …" Tang Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart. This was because the capital was full of Yao Yao's memories, so the emperor planned to stay away from here. Did he think that he could not think of her on the battlefield?
"There is no need to say this matter again." Mo Rongzhan waved his hand, not intending to continue speaking.
Tang Zhen gave up, "Your Majesty, then I will go first."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly and took out a pouch from his arms. This was given to him by Murong Ke. After so many days, he still did not have the courage to open it. He was afraid that after seeing what was inside, he would not be able to bear the pain of losing Yao Yao.
Right now, he was just deceiving himself. He firmly believed that Yao Yao was still alive and that she would come back.
Yao Yao must still be alive … but, would she come back?
"Go and call the little prince into the palace." Mo Rongzhan ordered Eunuch Fu.
Eunuch Fu responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
