The news of Mo Ronghui's rebellion in the Da 'an Prefecture quickly spread to the capital. Within a few days, the originally peaceful and harmonious atmosphere of the Jin Country had become tense.
Over the years, the Jin Kingdom had become more and more prosperous under Mo Rongzhan's rule. The people's lives were getting better and better. No one cared whether the current Emperor was the legitimate son of the first wife or not. It didn't matter even if his surname was not Mo. After all, who was Mo Ronghui? They had long forgotten about it and everyone had heard of the terror of the Da An Prefecture. Now that Mo Ronghui had made use of those inhumane Poison Men to start an uprising, not to mention the people of the Jin Country, even the people of the entire world would not approve of it.
Everyone hoped that Mo Rongzhan would be able to put an end to this war. However, only those who knew the power of the Toxic Pill knew what kind of fierce battle they were facing.
When Mo Rongzhan learned of this matter, he immediately summoned Ye Chunnan and other important officials to the palace.
"Your Majesty, this official is willing to lead the troops to battle." Ye Chunnan stood up. Facing the Da An Prefecture's Poison Men this time, would not be any easier than the previous battles, hence, not everyone was willing to take on the role of the Commander in Chief this time.
"This time, it was Mo Ronghui who colluded with Lu Lingzhi. But if we can find a way to deal with the Poison Men, no matter how many soldiers we have, it will not be easy for us to achieve victory." Cheng Zimao said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan listened to the generals below him speak one after another, his brows tightened more and more, "Zhen wants to personally lead the troops to go to Da An prefecture."
"Your Majesty?" Everyone was stunned at the same time.
"Ye Chunnan and Cheng Zimao will follow me into battle. The others will guard Jingdu." Mo Rongzhan's tone was unquestionable. He wanted to personally go to the Da An Prefecture to catch Lu Lingzhi. As long as Lu Lingzhi was not eliminated, it would be difficult to quell the anger in his heart.
"Your Majesty, one of those Poison Men is able to fight against dozens of soldiers ….." Ye Chunnan said solemnly. It was not that easy to suppress the Da An Prefecture.
Mo Rongzhan said, "Zhen knows that the Empress' antidote has already been effective. As long as the antidote is given to those poisoned people, it can at least make them awake for a period of time. We only need to take advantage of this time to capture the person who made the poisonous pills, and then we can suppress the Da An government."
If he could really wake those Poison Men up, that would be much easier.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is discussing matters with the generals inside …"
Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside the imperial study.
"Let the Empress come in." Mo Rongzhan said immediately. He knew that Ye Zhen should know the news of the Da 'an government.
"Your Majesty, we will take our leave first," Ye Chunnan said.
Mo Rongzhan waved his hand gently and looked up to see Ye Zhen walking in with a heavy face.
"Ah Zhan!" Ye Zhen nodded to the generals and walked to Mo Rongzhan's side. "I heard about what happened in the Da 'an Prefecture. They really want to use the poison men to deal with the uprising. This is too dangerous for the people ….."
"I know." Mo Rongzhan whispered. He held Ye Zhen's hand. "Yao Yao, I plan to go there myself."
Ye Zhen immediately said, "I will go with you to Daan prefecture."
Mo Rongzhan shook his head without hesitation. "No, it's too dangerous."
"I can think of a way to concoct the antidote for the Fishy Poison Pill. Ah Zhan, I won't object to you going out to battle, but I want to go with you!" Ye Zhen's tone was firm. She knew that Mo Rongzhan would go to Daan prefecture, just as she wanted to kill Lu Lingzhi with her own hands. However, this time was different from the previous wars. She must follow him. What if those people made other poisons in addition to the Fishy Poison Pill?
"Yao Yao …" Mo Rongzhan looked at her helplessly.
Ye Zhen said, "I am very firm in this matter. You have to agree even if you don't agree."
"Then do you want to keep Ming Xi and Ming Yu in the palace?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice. "Yao Yao, if I take you with me, I will be distracted."
"If I let you go to Daan prefecture like this, I won't be able to sleep for a day." Ye Zhen said. "The two children will naturally be fine in the palace."
Mo Rongzhan held her hand. "Yao Yao …"
"Otherwise, I will take the children to Yuan Country. Out of sight, out of mind, so that I won't worry about you every day." Ye Zhen said coldly.
"Well, I will take you there." Mo Rongzhan was helpless. He felt that if he didn't take Ye Zhen with him, she would find a way to follow him. Instead of knowing what she would do, it would be safer to take her with him.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Then I will go to Ming Xi and Ming Yu first."
Mo Rongzhan said, "Yao Yao, Mo Ronghui and Lu Lingzhi are just pawns of others."
"You mean Qiu Hen?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown. The illegitimate son of the former emperor, an orphan who could reach this day, was certainly not alone.
"A Ke sent a message back. Qiu Hen seems to be doing things for someone behind the scenes." Mo Rongzhan said.
Ye Zhen sat up straight. "Who?"
"He doesn't know yet. There has been no news from him for a few days …" Mo Rongzhan whispered. He knew that Murong Ke was not controlled by the poisonous pill, but there had been no news for several days in a row.
"Is the Sixth Wangye okay?" Ye Zhen hurriedly asked. She didn't want Murong Ke to have an accident. She hadn't seen him for so many years. She didn't know if he had let it go. She hoped that he could let it go.
Mo Rongzhan shook his head gently. "I don't know yet. I will know when I get to the Da 'an prefecture."
Ye Zhen said, "I will go to Ming Xi and the others."
"Good." Mo Rongzhan's thin lips curved slightly. "I have to go to the barracks."
Just then, Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside. "Your Majesty, the young prince asks for an audience."
"Come in." Mo Rongzhan released Ye Zhen's hand and looked out the door.
"Imperial brother!" Mo Rongyi hurried in. "Sister-in-law, the news from the Qi Kingdom just came back. Zhao Yong has died."
Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen looked at each other. Recently, their attention had been on the Da 'an prefecture. They didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Qi Kingdom. How did Zhao Yong die?
"Zhao Yong is dead?" Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. She didn't have a good impression of Zhao Yong. Although she knew that his illness would not last long, she didn't expect it to be so soon. Could Zhao Rao and the others arrive in time?
"Yes. Not long after the eldest princess and Cheng Zheng returned, Zhao Yong died. The third prince ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the Qi Kingdom. Marquis Anning is the regent." Mo Rongyi said. "There is one more thing. It turns out that Cheng Zheng's surname is not Cheng. He is a child that Imperial Uncle Cheng brought back from another place.
Ye Zhen had long known Cheng Zheng's identity, but she was not interested. "Zhao Yong actually let Cheng Zheng be the regent …"
The third prince is less than ten years old, but Cheng Zheng is a great general with military power. The Qi Kingdom has really changed …
"After all, Zhao Ning is the princess of the Qi Kingdom. She is pregnant now and can't go to the funeral. You are her husband. In any case, you have to go to the Qi Kingdom." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
"Yes, Imperial Brother." Mo Rongyi nodded.
