Jin Kingdom, Imperial Palace.
Mo Rongzhan took the letter from Xue Lin. He was a little nervous and held his breath. She finally sent him a letter.
"Did the Empress let Shen Yi stay?" Mo Rongzhan did not open the letter immediately, even if he wanted to know what Yao Yao had said.
"Your Majesty, the Empress knows that we are following her secretly, so she asked us to see her. Shen Yi and the others are now in the barracks." Xue Lin replied in a low voice, "There are three generals in the Empress's barracks. General Ye is one of them. The other one is from Hua country. One is called Shui Yichen, their commander-in-chief. The other is a female general. Chi Man is the best at fighting in the water.
No wonder Ye Zhen was able to capture Dongqing in just a few months. She must have a lot of capable counselors around her.
Mo Rongzhan's heart seemed to be suffocating. "Who is Shui Yichen?"
"I heard that he is a big businessman in Hua country. He used to be a great general of Hua country. This time, he escorted the Empress back …" Xue Lin had not seen Shui Yichen yet, but when he heard Hong Ying talk about him, he seemed to be particularly powerful. He glanced at the Emperor cautiously. "Your Majesty, there seem to be many generals and counselors around the Empress."
This was inevitable. She wanted to get Dongqing this time. If she did not have enough advisors around her, it would be impossible for her to get to where she is today. He was just very curious about the man called Shui Yichen, who inexplicably made him feel sour. "The great general of Hua country escorted the Empress back?"
"It seems that … Shui Yichen's sister is with the Empress." Xue Lin whispered.
Mo Rongzhan suppressed the doubts in his heart. Maybe this Shui Yichen was just arranged by Ye Yiqing. "Is there anything else?"
Xue Lin swallowed his saliva. "There is one more thing. Zhao Yong went to see the Empress."
"What?" Mo Rongzhan suddenly raised his head. "Who went to see the Empress?"
"Not long after I set off, Shen Yi sent someone to tell me about it and asked me to report back to you." Xue Lin knew that this matter would make the Emperor furious. "Zhao Yong went to see the Empress and asked her to treat him."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes abruptly turned frosty. He knew that Zhao Yong was sick, and that no one could cure him. To think that he would personally seek out Yaoyao!
"I will personally make a trip to Dongqing." Although news of the capital being breached had yet to arrive, he believed that it would be a piece of cake for Yaoyao to enter the city. What he was most worried about now was what Yaoyao would do after the city was breached.
It was impossible for Li Hang to be the Emperor. Dongqing Kingdom had already been destroyed. Who would Yao Yao let sit on the throne?
Mo Rongzhan was slightly worried. He always felt that it was not a good thing for Yao Yao to become the Heavenly Consort. If she was the one who ruled Dongqing in the end, how could she come back to be his empress? He had to bring her back before the dust settled.
He hadn't thought of this possibility before! He should have thought of it when she was conferred the title of Heavenly Consort.
Only after Xue Lin withdrew did Mo Rongzhan open the letter in his hand as his heartbeat inexplicably quickened. It had been a long time since he had felt so nervous, and he was even more nervous than when he first discovered that he had fallen in love with Yaoyao.
My journey is not as urgent as the East Wind, for the sake of flowers, I must return slowly.
"…" Mo Rongzhan's eyebrows twitched. What did that lass mean?
Did she not want to come back? Did she not have enough fun?
Why did he suddenly have the urge to hold her in his arms and give her a good beating?
"Your Majesty …" Eunuch Fu took a glance and felt that the Emperor's expression didn't seem right. He was really curious about what the Empress had written for the Emperor.
"Immediately, immediately set off for Dongqing," Mo Rongzhan said through gritted teeth.
…
…
Prince Yi's Residence.
Mo Rongyi stood outside the door of the upper room hesitating. Two years had passed, and the childishness on his face had completely disappeared. His skin was darker than before, and his facial features were more defined and handsome. He looked more similar to his brother, just that he was more gentle and elegant than Mo Rongzhan.
At this moment, the expression on his face didn't look too good.
"Your Highness, you're back." Zi Juan walked out of the room and saw Mo Rongyi standing outside the door. She called out in surprise.
Mo Rongyi's eyes flashed with awkwardness as he looked into the room.
He hadn't been back for a year. Back then, he fled to Nanyue and hadn't returned to the capital for so long. Now that he was back, he still didn't dare to face Zhao Ning.
"Your Highness, the Princess is inside." Zi Juan saw that Mo Rongyi's expression was strange and sighed in her heart. She didn't know what was going on between the Prince and the Princess. When they first got married, although the two of them didn't have deep feelings for each other, they at least treated each other with respect. As servants, they thought that as long as the two of them spent more time together, their feelings would definitely deepen. Who knew that in just a few days, the Prince would be so busy that he could only stay in the palace and then go to Nanyue. The Princess also didn't seem to talk about this matter, so no one knew what happened between the two of them.
Mo Rongyi nodded and coughed lightly. He walked into the room and saw Zhao Ning sitting in front of the dressing table.
The girl who was still a little immature two years ago had completely matured. The once flamboyant expression on her face seemed to be much more restrained. When she heard the footsteps, her shoulders stiffened as she sat there, not moving at all.
"I … I'm back." Mo Rongyi swallowed and said in a low voice.
In fact, he didn't know how to face Zhao Ning. She chose to marry him because she didn't want to be used. Perhaps she was unwilling, but after they got married, he felt that the two of them were already husband and wife. No matter what, they should live a good life. So he wanted to give her time to adapt to the life of a Princess. They had always slept in separate beds.
Until a year ago, when he heard the news of a great victory in Xiliang, he was so happy that he pulled Tang Zhen to drink a few cups. When he came back, he was a little confused when he saw her, regardless of whether she was willing or not … After that, he was afraid to see her disgusted eyes, so he went to Nanyue. Until a month ago, his royal brother ordered him to return to the capital.
Zhao Ning raised her head expressionlessly and looked at Mo Rongyi indifferently. "Oh, then what orders does your Highness have?"
After a year apart, they met again and unexpectedly had such a cold conversation.
Mo Rongyi's heart was bitter. "It was my royal brother who asked me to come back. There's news of sister-in-law empress."
It turned out that he came back because the emperor asked him to come back. So, if there was no emperor, would he still want to stay in Nanyue for the rest of his life? Zhao Ning's mouth floated a slight smile. "I know, the Empress is now in Dongqing. Is your Highness going to Dongqing?"
"No." Mo Rongyi saw that she was willing to talk to him. His eyes flashed with joy. "My royal brother is going to pick up sister-in-law empress, so he asked me to temporarily come back to supervise the country."
Zhao Ning nodded lightly. "I know, I'll ask someone to clean up the front yard for your Highness."
Mo Rongyi opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he saw that Zhao Ning had already got up and walked out.
