The entire Qi Kingdom was in mourning. Although Zhao Yong had been a playboy when he was alive, he was able to make the Qi Kingdom strong and the people live in peace. Now that he had died in the prime of his life, no matter how one looked at it, it was a sad matter.
While the people outside the palace were mourning, the palace was not peaceful.
Zhao Rao had just returned to the capital when she found out that Zhao Yong was critically ill. When she wanted to enter the palace, the First Prince and Second Prince joined forces to stop her outside.
The Second Prince had lost all hope, but he wanted revenge for his Imperial Concubine mother.
He egged on the Great Imperial Prince, making the Great Imperial Prince think that the Emperor had made up his mind to make the Third Imperial Prince the heir apparent. The two of them, who had been enemies for their entire lives, joined hands. They wanted to write down a posthumous edict before Zhao Yong died, making the Great Imperial Prince the new ruler.
At that time, they wanted to kill Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng, but they underestimated Zhao Yong's ability. Even though Zhao Yong's illness had suddenly worsened, he was not unprepared. He endured and did not move just to wait for Zhao Rao and the others to return.
In order to clear the obstacles for the Third Imperial Prince in the future, Zhao Yong had pretended to be weak and wanted to see how far his two sons could go. He had not expected that these two sons of his were more ruthless than anyone else, not even willing to let their own siblings go.
In the end, the First Prince and Second Prince were captured. Cheng Zheng brought troops to control their people, and Zhao Rao and the Third Prince successfully met Zhao Yong.
"What are you thinking about?" When Cheng Zheng walked into the imperial study, he saw Zhao Rao standing beside the desk in a daze. He walked over softly.
Zhao Rao snapped out of her trance, "Nothing."
"Thinking about the Emperor? I mean … the late Emperor. " Cheng Zheng looked down at the plainly dressed Zhao Rao, knowing that she was in a bad mood. Although she did not seem to have a deep father-daughter relationship with Zhao Yong, she still had deep feelings for him.
"I did not expect him to die so suddenly …" Zhao Rao said softly. When she heard that Zhao Yong was seriously ill, she thought that he would be fine after taking medicine. At most, she would come back to the Jin Kingdom to find Lu Yaoyao. Wasn't Lu Yaoyao a miracle doctor?
He actually left just like that.
Cheng Zheng said softly, "The late Emperor's health was not very good."
"How is the Emperor?" Zhao Rao shook her head, not wanting to talk about Zhao Yong.
"I just cried myself to sleep." Before Zhao Yong died, Hui Pin suddenly died. The Third Prince believed it, but Zhao Rao and the others knew that Zhao Yong was guarding against Hui Pin.
Zhao Huang sighed softly, "By the way, how is the Da 'an Prefecture?"
"Mo Ronghui's rebellion is probably being manipulated by someone else. Although our country is in mourning, we can't just stand by and watch," Cheng Zheng said.
"You want to go to Da An Prefecture?" Zhao Rao suddenly looked back at him.
Cheng Zheng stretched out his hand and gently stroked her cheek, "The Da 'an Prefecture's threat is not only directed at the Jin State. Many of those who took the Fishy Poison Pill are also from our Qi State."
"I know, we will send troops to help, you don't have to go personally." Zhao Rao said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I haven't married you yet, nothing will happen." Cheng Zheng said with a smile.
Zhao Rao glared at him. "Who's thinking about that?"
Cheng Zheng smiled. "That's right, there is one more matter. Princess Ning is pregnant and cannot come. Mo Rongyi is already on his way."
"Naturally, A Ning can't come. It's the same for Mo Rongyi," Zhao Rao said.
… …
… …
Jin State, Imperial Palace.
"Your Highness, Da An Prefecture is too dangerous right now, we can't go." Yan Xiaoliu dismissed the palace attendants and went into the room with Ming Xi to talk.
"It's not safe, why can't we go?" Ming Xi packed his things, "Imperial Father is going to personally go to Da An Prefecture today. At that time, Imperial Father will definitely follow. We will wait for them to set off before leaving."
Yan Xiaoliu did not think that Ming Xi would not change his mind, "Your Highness … …"
"Don't you want to know the truth?" Ming Xi asked, "Knowing the truth from the mouth of others and finding the truth yourself are not the same."
"I want to go to Da An Prefecture alone." Yan Xiaoliu lowered his head. He was afraid that Ming Xi would be in danger. Ming Xi was a noble Prince of the Jin State, how could he dare go to Da An Prefecture with a Prince?
Ming Xi raised his head and looked at him lightly, "What danger do you think I will be in? Xiaoliu, there are not many people who can hurt me. "
"But … …" Yan Xiaoliu was still worried.
"My things are almost packed and the outside has been arranged. Are you going or not?" Ming Xi lightly asked.
Yan Xiaoliu took a deep breath, "I'll go pack my things!"
He turned to open the door and a pink dumpling fell at his feet.
"Ming Yu?" Yan Xiaoliu looked at the pink dumpling at his feet in astonishment, "Why are you here?"
"Where are you going? I want to go too. "Ming Yu climbed up from the ground, a pair of bright eyes looking curiously at Ming Xi and Yan Xiaoliu.
Ming Xi said, "We're not going anywhere. Quickly go back."
"Liar." Ming Yu said tenderly, "I clearly heard that you were going to leave the palace. I want to go too."
"No!" Ming Xi and Yan Xiaoliu said at the same time.
Ming Yu's small mouth flattened, "If you don't bring me along, I'll have someone tell Maternal Grandfather and Little Uncle."
Imperial Father and Imperial Mother were not in the palace, but there was still Maternal Grandfather and Little Uncle. They would definitely not let them leave the palace.
Yan Xiaoliu and Ming Xi looked at each other, "Ming Yu, we're not going out to play."
"I'm not going out to play either." Ming Yu said.
"You're too young, you can't go out with us." Ming Xi frowned. It was fine for him to go to the Da 'an Province, but he definitely couldn't bring Ming Yu along.
Ming Yu glared at Ming Xi, "You're the same age as me, just two hours older than me."
"That's still your older brother." Ming Xi said, "Ming Yu, we're going to a very dangerous place. We really can't bring you along. When we leave the palace to play, we'll bring you along, alright?"
"No, no, I want to go with you." Ming Yu hugged Yan Xiaoliu's arm tightly, "I won't make a fuss. Brother, Xiaoliu, just bring me along."
Yan Xiaoliu was anxious. It was already very risky to leave the palace with Ming Xi, he definitely couldn't bring Ming Yu along.
"Alright, go back and pack your things." Ming Xi nodded in agreement, glancing lightly at Yan Xiaoliu.
"Your Highness …" Yan Xiaoliu called out.
Ming Yu cheered happily, "I'll go pack immediately."
Seeing the figure of the pink dumpling running out, Yan Xiaoliu looked at Ming Xi in disapproval, "Your Highness, Ming Yu doesn't know anything, how can she …"
"That's right, before she comes, we'll leave the palace immediately." Ming Xi said.
Yan Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, they were going to leave Ming Yu behind just like that?
"Aren't you going to hurry up?" Ming Xi asked, "Don't tell me you want to wait here for Ming Yu to find you?"
"No, no, let's go." Yan Xiaoliu immediately said.
