The next day, Zhao Tianji took Shui Miaomiao to say goodbye to Ye Zhen before Zhao Rao and the others entered the palace.
"Heavenly concubine, we are leaving for Zhao Island." Shui Miaomiao looked at Ye Zhen reluctantly. After living in the capital for nearly a month, Zhao Tianji took her to play all over the place and rarely entered the palace. Now that she was about to leave, she found herself reluctant.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Be careful on the road. Come to the capital again next time."
"Heavenly concubine, are you not going back to Yuan Country?" Shui Miaomiao asked in surprise. She thought the next time they met would be in Yuan Country.
"Yes, maybe I will be in Yuan Country by then." Ye Zhen laughed. She had forgotten her other identity in Yuan Country.
Recently, Yuan Country did not send many memorials to Ye Zhen. It must be very peaceful there. She just didn't know … how many sects in Yuan Country were affected by the poisonous pills.
"Heavenly concubine, I heard that a kind of poison that controls people's hearts has recently appeared in the jianghu …" Although Zhao Tianji was the island lord of Zhao Island, he also understood the jianghu. For so many years, he had never seen such a big storm in the jianghu.
Ye Zhen nodded lightly. "Yes, it is a kind of poison called poisonous pills. It can make people addicted to it and become neither human nor ghost. The imperial court has been involved in investigating this matter."
"On the way back to Zhao Island, if we find out anything, we will write back to tell you." Zhao Tianji said.
"The most important thing is to take care of yourself. The poisonous pills are not easy to solve." Ye Zhen said. She didn't think Zhao Tianji could find out anything. She and Mo Rongzhan had sent so many people out, but there was still no news from Murong Ke.
Zhao Tianji nodded. "I know."
"Actually, I want to stay for a few more days." Shui Miaomiao pouted and said, "Young Master Lu is about to get married. It's good to stay and drink a cup of wine."
They met Lu Xiangzhi when they were in Yuan Country. This time, they came to the capital and often visited the Lu family. Unconsciously, they became familiar with each other. Moreover, Mrs. Lu was very amiable, so Shui Miaomiao wanted to stay in the capital even more.
"What does Lu Xiangzhi's marriage have to do with us?" Zhao Tianji knocked on Shui Miaomiao's forehead, dissatisfied that she had placed all her attention on someone else. Now that they had arrived in the capital, she had simply gone crazy playing and had even forgotten why she had to return to the Zhao Family Island with him.
Shui Miaomiao covered her forehead and glared at him. "How could it not matter? Let's go to the wedding."
"Let's go down and drink his son's full moon wine," Zhao Tianji said.
"Alright." Shui Miaomiao reluctantly nodded.
Ye Zhen couldn't help but shake her head and laugh at the way they got along with each other. She told them to be careful on the road before letting them leave. Shui Miaomiao went to find Ming Yu and bid her farewell before leaving the palace with Zhao Tianji.
Not long after Zhao Tianji and Shui Miaomiao left, Zhao Ning and Zhao Rao entered the palace.
"Sister, the Empress is a very gentle person. You'll know when you see her." Zhao Ning smiled and said to Zhao Rao.
"I know." Zhao Rao nodded faintly. She had seen Lu Yaoyao in the Yuan Kingdom. Although they had not spoken, she had been schemed against.
The last time she was in the Yuan Kingdom's palace, she saw Lu Wushuang so easily. At first, she didn't feel anything wrong. But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had been schemed against by Lu Yaoyao. Otherwise, how could she find the cold palace so easily and see Lu Wushuang?
Zhao Ning laughed. "I forgot that you saw the Empress in the Yuan Kingdom."
"Do you like her so much?" Zhao Rao glanced at her sister. It was not the first time she had heard her sister mention Lu Yaoyao.
"Actually, I didn't like her at first." Zhao Ning lowered his voice. "Later, I felt that she really … makes people like her unconsciously."
Zhao Rao shook her head helplessly. How could she not see it at all? Apart from her medical skills and her beautiful face, she really didn't know what else she could do.
Because they came to the harem, Cheng Zheng naturally could not come in with them. He was taken to the hunting ground by Mo Rongyi.
"Empress, Princess Yi is here." Dai Mei came in and said to Ye Zhen.
"Invite them in." Ye Zhen smiled.
Zhao Ning and Zhao Rao walked into the hall side by side. The Third Prince looked a little nervous and followed closely beside Zhao Rao.
"Greetings, Empress." Zhao Kuang lowered her eyes and bowed. Previously in Yuan Country, she had only caught a glimpse of Lu Yaoyao in the crowd. Today, she could finally come into contact with this legendary woman. Her father had never been interested in any woman in his life, but she knew that Lu Yaoyao was in his heart.
Ye Zhen looked at them with a smile. When she was in Yuan Kingdom, she didn't observe Zhao Rao carefully. Today, she found that Zhao Ning and Zhao Rao looked somewhat similar. "We are all family, no need to be polite. This is the first time the First Princess has come to our Jin Kingdom."
Zhao Rao smiled and nodded. "Yes, it's the first time I've come to Jin Kingdom, but it's the second time I've seen the Empress."
"Please sit down." Ye Zhen said with a smile, glancing at the shy Third Prince.
It was said that the Third Prince was recognized by Zhao Yong not long ago. If Zhao Rao hadn't learned the secret from Lu Wushuang, he might not have found his son.
"I've always heard Ah Ning mention the Empress. For so many years, Ah Ning has been under the care of the Empress." Zhao Rao looked at Ye Zhen. She didn't see Lu Yaoyao very clearly in the capital before, but today, she realized that it was not wrong to say that Lu Yaoyao was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Magnificent and elegant, like the flowers of spring.
No wonder Mo Rongzhan doted on her for so many years.
"Ah Ning once saved this Empress. This Empress treats her like a younger sister." Ye Zhen said with a smile. She already knew that Zhao Rao wanted to take Zhao Ning away. Ah Yi had been living in fear these days, fearing that one day Zhao Ning would agree to let Zhao Rao return to Qi. "What's more, Ah Ning and this Empress are already family."
"In fact, in addition to the Empress's invitation, there is another matter I want to take Ah Ning back to Qi." Zhao Rao said straightforwardly.
Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Ning in surprise. "Back to Qi? Princess, this Empress doesn't quite understand what you mean. "
Zhao Ning didn't know that Zhao Rao would mention this matter at this time. She looked at her sister in surprise. "Sister …"
"Ah Ning has been lost among the people since she was a child. After recognizing her, Imperial Father hasn't compensated her well. Now that Imperial Father misses Ah Ning, he asked me to take her back." Zhao Rao didn't mention the separation. She knew that Zhao Ning still liked Mo Rongyi, so she didn't want to do things without a way out.
If Lu Yaoyao really allowed the separation, then she would have to do it even if she didn't want to.
"So that's how it is." Ye Zhen smiled. Zhao Yong can still live for a few more days. He should not only want to see Zhao Ning, but also to teach Ah Yi a lesson. "Little Prince should take Ah Ning to Qi as a guest."
Zhao Rao smiled faintly. "I dare not trouble Little Prince. This time, I can take Ah Ning back."
