Recently, Mo Rongyi did not dare to enter the palace, not because he did not want to see his royal brother, but because he did not know how to suppress the sadness in his heart. He did not expect that after sending Zhao Ning off, he would hear the news of the empress's death. How could this be!
In his heart, Lu Yaoyao was an omnipotent person. He even felt that she was a fairy from the heavens who had come to the human world to undergo a tribulation. It was impossible for her to just leave like that. But after so many days, there was still no news.
He needed time to digest the sadness in his heart.
"Royal brother, you were looking for me?" Mo Rongyi was saddened by the death of his sister-in-law, but what he couldn't bear to look at was the change in his brother. He felt that his brother seemed to have returned to how he was before. He didn't look like a person at all, but a cold and emotionless god. Although he still looked very powerful, he didn't know how to smile.
Mo Rongzhan looked at his brother, "The Princess of Qi will be marrying to Jin soon. You should go to Qi to fetch the bride."
"Royal brother …" Mo Rongyi was stunned. Did Qi agree to the marriage?
"What's wrong?" Mo Rongzhan saw that he was in a daze and did not speak.
Mo Rongyi shook his head, "Nothing, royal brother. If the Emperor of Qi finds out that I want to marry Zhao Ning, will he regret … bringing Zhao Ning back to Qi?"
"He won't." Mo Rongzhan said. Zhao Yong would not do this for Qi. If not for Dongqing, Zhao Yong would have cut off all ties with Jin. But now … even if he was angry, he had to suppress it.
"Then I'll send someone to prepare." Mo Rongyi said.
Mo Rongzhan said, "I have already sent people from the Ministry of Rites to prepare. In a few days, I will go and tidy up your palace. You just need to go to Qi."
"Yes, royal brother." Mo Rongyi lowered his head and said softly.
"You may leave." Mo Rongzhan did not want to see the questioning and questioning eyes of others. Everyone wanted to know where Yaoyao was. He also wanted to know, but who would tell him?
Mo Rongyi hesitated, "Royal brother, will the empress return?"
"Yes." Mo Rongzhan nodded without hesitation.
That's good … Mo Rongyi smiled, "Royal brother, I will go back first."
Watching his brother leave, Mo Rongzhan suppressed the pain in his heart, "Have the Ministry of Rites prepare for Yi's wedding. See if there is anything that needs to be repaired."
Eunuch Fu promised. Seeing that Mo Rongzhan was in a bad mood, he thought that Mo Rongzhan's mood was probably affected by the little prince's wedding. Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "When the Emperor and Empress got married, he had people renovate the former Prince of Qin's Mansion. That night, he even brought Her Highness to the Prince of Qin's Mansion."
Surprise flashed in Mo Rongzhan's eyes. He had forgotten about this matter. He had practically forgotten all his past memories with Yaoyao. "We went to King Qin's Manor on the night of our wedding?"
"Yes, Your Majesty even had people secretly turn the upper room of Prince of Qin's Mansion into a wedding room …" Eunuch Fu saw that the Emperor seemed to be happy and couldn't help but say more, "Also, you often take the empress to the small forest behind Prince of Qin's Mansion."
Eunuch Fu saw that the Emperor seemed happy and couldn't help but say, "You often brought the empress to the woods behind Emperor's Mansion."
"Zhen is going to Emperor's Mansion today," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "Go and prepare."
Eunuch Fu was startled. "Yes."

Western Liang, Jin Army Camp.
Ye Chunnan looked at the secret letter in his hand. It was sent from the capital and confirmed that what he had heard was true. His sister had a difficult birth and many people thought that Yaoyao had passed away.
If Yaoyao was really gone, he felt that his father would have entered the palace and killed Mo Rongzhan. Even if he didn't kill him, he would have beaten him half to death. Now that Mo Rongzhan's whereabouts were unknown, it was obvious that he had taken Yaoyao away.
Mo Rongzhan probably didn't know that Yaoyao was still alive and didn't know what kind of pain she was living in.
But Mo Rongzhan deserved it. He should have tortured him for marrying the princess of the Kingdom of Qi.
Ge Kuan walked in and looked at Ye Chunnan worriedly.
Ye Chunnan raised his brows at him and put away the secret letter. "What is it?"
"General …" Ge Kuan chuckled. "Are we still going to stay in Western Liang?"
"Has the Beiming Kingdom retreated?" Ye Chunnan asked.
Ge Kuan shook his head. "Not yet."
"Did the Emperor order us to retreat?" Ye Chunnan asked again.
"No …" Ge Kuan chuckled.
Ye Chunnan looked at him indifferently. "Then why do you think we should leave Western Liang?"
It was because of the recent news of the Empress's death. With the general's love for his sister, she definitely wouldn't stay in Western Liang to serve the Emperor.
"Then the news from the capital …" Ge Kuan didn't explain clearly and just looked at Ye Chunnan with a smile.
"What news is there from the capital? Is there news of the funeral? Was there a title for the Empress? "Ye Chunnan asked again.
There didn't seem to be any … Ge Kuan was stunned.
Ye Chunnan raised his brows at him. "Since there isn't any, what reason do I have to retreat from Western Liang?"
"General, it's not that I'm confused. It's Wang Cuo!" Ge Kuan immediately betrayed his comrade. "He's worried that you'll affect the morale of the army because of this rumor."
"Affect my ass!" Ye Chunnan snapped. "Have you sent someone to see why Wan Ziliang hasn't made any moves recently? Do you know what's going on in Dongqing? "
Speaking of Dongqing, Ge Kuan's expression turned serious. "General, it's Cui Yang who led the army to attack Western Liang. If Tuoba Xuanyuan can't stop him, he'll have to face us sooner or later."
Ye Chunnan said coldly, "Li Heng is cowardly and despicable. It's the same no matter who we send. Now that we're all serving different masters, we can only put our friendship aside."
Ge Kuan snorted. "I hope Cui Yang knows what's good for him."
"Train the soldiers first. We still have to guard against Wan Ziliang's surprise attack," Ye Chunnan said.
"We can only guard the city gates for Western Liang and prevent the Beiming Kingdom from invading more land. If the Qi Kingdom doesn't send troops to help, we won't be able to hold out for long," Ge Kuan said in a low voice.
Ye Chunnan nodded. "The Qi Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are allies. Zhao Yong doesn't want the Beiming Kingdom to become an unshakable country."
"There seems to be no news from the capital …" Ge Kuan said.
"Let's wait a little longer." Ye Chunnan took a deep breath. Thinking of how carefree his father and sister were now, he felt a chill in his heart. He knew from a young age that his father was biased. He treated his daughter like a treasure and his son like grass.
Ge Kuan said, "Then I'll go out and stabilize everyone's morale."
That was to tell Wang Cuo and the rest that Ye Chunnan had no intention of retreating.
