Jin Nation, Capital City, Imperial Study.
Murong Ke was reading the memorials when Ford's voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, there's a dispatch from Cloudreturn Mountain," Ford said in a low voice.
"Give it to me." Murong Ke put down the red brush in his hand. It should be the letter sent by Ye Yiqing. He probably didn't get anything at all.
Ever since Ye Yiqing had returned, apart from accompanying Ming Yu, he had spent all his time at Cloud Return Mountain. This time, he had been there for more than a month, and there had been no news. Three years had passed, and Murong Ke no longer dared to hold out too much hope.
Ford placed the letter in front of Murong Ke's desk.
"Imperial Father, did grandfather send a letter?" Ming Yu, who was practicing calligraphy at a small table next to him, looked at Murong Ke eagerly.
"Does Mingyu miss grandfather?" Murong Ke asked with a smile.
"Yes, I still want to go horseback riding with my maternal grandfather," Ming Yu said in a sweet voice.
Murong Ke chuckled. He picked up his teacup and sipped on it while looking down at the letter.
There were only a few lines of words, but he understood them at a glance.
Clang —
The teacup in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
The eunuchs in the imperial study were so frightened that they knelt down in a hurry. Even Fude looked at Murong Ke nervously.
"Imperial Father …" Ming Yu was stunned. She ran to Murong Ke's voice and stared at him with trembling eyes. "What's wrong?"
Murong Ke lowered his eyes and looked at Ming Yu. He held the letter tightly with his fingertips and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Ming Yu, Father may leave the capital city for a few days."
He did not tell Ming Yu that it was because Mo Rongzhan and the rest had returned. He wanted to personally confirm it, or else it would be the same as before, causing Ming Yu's hopes to be dashed every time, causing her to no longer look forward to Yaoyao's return.
"Where is Imperial Father going?" Ming Yu pouted. "Does Ming Yu want to be alone in the palace again?"
"Then I'll ask Shen Ying to send you to the Ye Family to accompany Little Uncle and Cousin, okay?" Murong Ke coaxed her gently.
Only then did Ming Yu smile again. "Alright."
When she arrived at the Ye Family, she didn't need to write and study every day. Her aunt and grandmother doted on her the most.
Murong Ke knew what Ming Yu was thinking. He just shook his head and laughed, but his eyes were thoughtful.
Was the news sent by Cloud Returning Mountain true?
Just as he was thinking, Ye Chunnan's request to see him came from outside.
"Let General Ye in." Murong Ke immediately said.
Ye Chunnan strode in from outside. Before he could bow, he was stopped by Murong Ke. "Dispense with the formalities. Is there news from Cloud Mountain?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Chunnan suppressed his excitement. He had just received a letter from his father saying that Yaoyao had returned.
"Ford, take the princess back first." Murong Ke said in a low voice. His voice still sounded calm. Only his tightly clenched fists revealed his inner feelings.
Ming Yu pouted. She still wanted to leave the palace with her uncle.
Ye Chunnan smiled at Ming Yu. "Good girl, Ming Yu."
"Uncle, Father will be out of the palace for a few days. I'm going to find Little Uncle and Cousin," Ming Yu said as she pulled Ye Chunnan's hand.
"Alright, they missed you too." Ye Chunnan said with a smile.
Only then did Ming Yu leave contentedly.
Only Murong Ke and Ye Chunnan were left in the imperial study.
"The Emperor and Yaoyao are back." Murong Ke said, "Do you think it's true?"
"It's a letter from Father himself. This matter can't be faked." Ye Chunnan said excitedly. "Your Majesty, I want to go to Cloud Mountain in person."
Murong Ke nodded gently. "I'll go with you."
"There's no time to lose. Your Majesty, let's go quickly." Ye Chunnan said. At this time, he had no time to think about so many things. The return of Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen may change a lot, but no matter what, it couldn't beat the joy in his heart at this time.
"Let's go!" Murong Ke stood up and strode outside. As he walked, he said, "I haven't told Ming Yu about this yet. Let's talk about it when it's confirmed."
The smile on Ye Chunnan's face froze. He remembered that Ming Yu hadn't mentioned Yaoyao for a long time. She seemed to have forgotten who her father and mother were.
He wondered what her expression would be when she saw Yaoyao.
…
…
Ye Zhen didn't know how many days she slept. When she woke up, Mo Di was still unconscious.
She felt that the pain in her body had disappeared. Probably because of the medicinal pills she took, the spiritual power in her Qi Sea did not completely disappear, so she recovered quickly.
There was no one else in the cave. She vaguely heard the voices of An Ge and Fire Phoenix coming from outside. She sat up and looked at Mo Di worriedly.
His injuries were more serious than hers, and he had no spiritual power. His self-healing ability was the same as ordinary mortals, so it would take longer.
"You have to wake up properly." Ye Zhen whispered, kissed his thin lips, and fed him medicinal pills and spiritual spring water. Fortunately, she put a lot of medicinal pills in the space. Although the spiritual power here was scarce, medicinal pills could at least repair his Qi Sea.
Ye Zhen took a deep breath, put her hand on Mo Di's chest, and ran her Qi Sea to heal him with the regenerative technique.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen's forehead dripped with sweat. As long as she ran her Qi Sea, her whole body felt like it was being run over by a mountain of knives. She couldn't summon spiritual power, and her Qi Sea was difficult and painful. She couldn't use it as freely as she could in the Xuantian Continent.
After a while, Ye Zhen gave up. She couldn't use the regenerative technique here.
"Yao Yao." Ye Yiqing came in and stood behind Ye Zhen, looking at her with soft and loving eyes. "Are you awake?"
Ye Zhen looked back at Ye Yiqing, her eyes full of tears. "Daddy."
"Is Mo Rongzhan awake?" Ye Yiqing came over and was relieved to see that Mo Rongzhan's complexion had recovered a lot.
"Not yet. I don't know when he will wake up. He has never suffered such a serious injury." Ye Zhen whispered.
Ye Yiqing said, "Isn't he very powerful in the other continent? He should be fine. "
"You know all about it?" Ye Zhen smiled bitterly. "He is powerful, but in order to come back, he has never practiced to improve his cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured."
"He … is he Mo Di or Mo Rongzhan now?" Ye Yiqing asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen smiled. "Actually, it's all him."
"Then … what are your plans next?" Ye Yiqing asked. The Jin Kingdom had long adapted to the new emperor. Everyone thought that Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen were missing. Now that he was back, what would happen to the throne?
Ye Zhen said, "I want to see Ming Yu. Is she okay?"
"Murong Ke has taken good care of her. You don't have to worry. What I'm asking is … do you still want to go back to the palace?" Ye Yiqing asked. With Mo Rongzhan's prestige, it would be easy for him to take back the throne.
"I don't think Ah Zhan wants to go back to the palace anymore." Ye Zhen said. "We just want a family reunion now."
