Ye Chunnan saw Mo Rongzhan's creepy smile and knew that Yaoyao hadn't sent him any news. Was Yaoyao still angry? It was possible! She didn't know that Mo Rongzhan didn't marry the princess of Qi. Maybe it was because of this that she didn't tell Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan was the one who missed Yaoyao the most these two years. Now that she was back, she didn't want to tell Mo Rongzhan. No wonder the emperor looked so angry. He could feel the emperor's strong resentment.
"Your Majesty, then I … will I leave for Dongqing tomorrow?" Ye Chunnan asked in a low voice. He didn't dare to smile even though he really wanted to.
Mo Rongzhan tried to hold it in but finally couldn't. "Did Yaoyao say anything else?"
Ye Chunnan tried to hold back his smile. "Your Majesty, Yaoyao didn't tell me in detail. She only said something about my father. My wife stayed in Hua Nation and didn't come back with Yaoyao. Madam Zhao Yang gave birth to a son … That's all I know."
"Hua Nation?" Mo Rongzhan frowned. It seemed that Yaoyao had a lot of fun in the Atlantic Ocean. An ordinary person couldn't bring back hundreds of warships from Hua Nation.
"From what Yaoyao said, the emperor of Hua Nation lent her soldiers. I'll only know the details when I see Yaoyao in Dongqing," Ye Chunnan said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan wanted to know more about Yaoyao but it was useless to ask. Yaoyao didn't tell Ye Chunnan anything.
"Go. Bring your cavalry." Mo Rongzhan looked down. Yaoyao might not need him now but he still wanted to help her.
Ye Chunnan hesitated. "Your Majesty, Yaoyao … wants me to go to Dongqing alone."
If Yaoyao wanted the emperor to send troops, she wouldn't just write to him.
"Go." Mo Rongzhan's expression didn't look good. He didn't understand what Yaoyao meant. Did she not want to have anything to do with him anymore?
Ye Chunnan didn't want to see Mo Rongzhan's expression. After getting his permission, he immediately turned and left.
Eunuch Fu couldn't hide the sympathy in his eyes but didn't dare to look at Mo Rongzhan.
Ye Chunnan left the Palace of Heavenly Purity and returned to the Ye Residence. Jin Shanshan had already packed for him without any reluctance.
"I thought you wouldn't want me to leave." Although Ye Chunnan wanted to find his sister immediately, he felt hurt when he saw Jin Shanshan pack his luggage so calmly and urgently.
"I really can't bear to," Jin Shanshan nodded with a smile. "If it weren't for the fact that it's inconvenient for me to ride a horse, I would have gone with you."
Ye Chunnan scowled. "You still want to go with me?"
"Yaoyao has never led an army before, and has never seen the horrors of the battlefield. Father is not by her side, and I am very worried about her. I am safer at home than her, and Yaoyao should really hope to have you by her side." Jin Shanshan tidied up Ye Chunnan's clothes.
"I will leave early tomorrow morning. You still have to make a trip to the Lu family tomorrow and tell Lord Lu about Yao Yao in Dongqing. Madam Lu will accompany you during the few days you are in labor," Ye Chunnan said to Jin Shanshan.
"Okay, I got it." Jin Shanshan nodded and smiled.
…
…
Dongqing, Imperial Palace.
Li Heng had just received news from the frontlines. Cui Yang did not lead his troops to fight because the enemy's military strength was too strong. These soldiers from the Atlantic Ocean were not something they could compare to. They were better at fighting, and even if Dongqing used the entire country's strength, they would not be able to stop them.
What he did not expect was that the person who led a hundred thousand troops to appear at the Water Ghost Crossing was actually Lu Yaoyao, the woman who was already dead.
"What does Lu Yaoyao want to do?" Li Heng asked through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, she … she wants Dongqing," the officials below said in a low voice.
The veins on Li Heng's forehead bulged. "What right does she have?! This is Zhen's country. What does she want instead of being the Empress of Jin Country? "
No one dared to answer Li Heng's question, even though everyone was well aware that the Jin Empress had been taken away by Ye Yiqing. Her return was obviously related to Ye Yiqing. Everyone in the court knew how Li Heng had treated Ye Yiqing back then.
"Mobilize troops! Mobilize troops from other places to Doumen Pass. No matter what, we must stop Lu Yaoyao, "Li Heng shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, in this way, the military strength of other places will not be enough. That will give Jin Country and Qi Country a chance."
Now, it was not only Lu Yaoyao who wanted to attack Dongqing. Jin Country and Qi Country were also waiting for an opportunity.
Despair appeared in Li Heng's eyes. Only now did he remember that when the Dark North Kingdom and Jin Country were at war, he betrayed the alliance with Jin Country and made Dongqing a vassal of the Dark North Kingdom. "Quick, send a letter to Beitang Yu. Dongqing Country is now a vassal of the Dark North Kingdom. Does he want to see our country be forcefully occupied by Lu Yaoyao?"
The officials below did not know what kind of expression and mood they should have when facing this Emperor. They had never seen an Emperor so eager to betray his own country. Back then, when he wanted to rely on the Dark North Kingdom, the people in the imperial court who supported him had no chance at all. However, the Emperor was stubborn. It was as if without Ye Yiqing, the Emperor felt that Dongqing Country was already destroyed.
If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
When Li Yu hurt Madam Ye, he directly executed him, and Dongqing Country would not be in such a predicament today.
After Li Heng sent someone to send a letter for help to Beitang Yu, he left the imperial court to look for Empress Fang.
Empress Fang was in the palace practicing calligraphy with the Crown Prince. When she saw Li Heng rushing in, she asked someone to take the Crown Prince away.
"This son greets Imperial Father." The five-year-old crown prince looked delicate and adorable. He respectfully bowed to Li Heng.
"You may leave." Li Heng was impatient and immediately asked someone to take the Crown Prince away.
Empress Fang's expression was indifferent. She knew that Li Heng did not like the Crown Prince, so she did not force him. They were a young couple, and no matter how deep their relationship was, it gradually disappeared as he doted on the newlyweds. "Your Majesty, why do you have time to visit me today?"
"Lu Yaoyao is leading troops to attack Dongqing Country. She is still alive! It must be Ye Yiqing's idea. "Li Heng paced back and forth anxiously." What do you think we should do? "
Empress Fang looked at Li Heng, who was like a different person from before. She smiled faintly. "I am just a woman. What can I do? Your Majesty must have a way. "
"Don't you have an old relationship with her? Go see her at Doumen Pass and ask her to retreat. I will promise her anything! "Li Heng said.
"Your Majesty, do you know what you are saying?" Empress Fang stared at Li Heng and asked word by word.
Li Heng did not look at Empress Fang at all. He only wanted to protect Dongqing Country now.
"I cannot lose Dongqing Country …" he said in a low voice.
Without Ye Yiqing, he could still protect Dongqing Country.
