Murong Ke explained, "Back then, after you guys went missing, I sealed off all traces of your disappearance. Those who saw Ah Zhan's disappearance were all on our side, so no one would know about it. After that, I gave the order that you guys went out to sea. Other than us, no one else knew what happened to you guys."
Therefore, even if they appeared in the capital, they came back from the sea at most.
Ye Zhen's face paled slightly, "Then Ming Yu …"
"She was too young at the time. I didn't dare to tell her the truth." Murong Ke whispered.
Ming Yu always thought that they left the capital and went to sea. Did she think that they didn't want her anymore?
Ye Zhen's heart felt as if it was being pricked by numerous needles, and the tip of her heart stung.
Mo Rongzhan held her hand tightly, "I'll explain it to Ming Yu when we get back."
There was no other way but to explain to Ming Yu that they left not because they didn't want her anymore.
Ye Chunnan stayed behind to evacuate the soldiers of Mount Gui Yun. For the past three years, the imperial court had been claiming that there were wild beasts in Mount Gui Yun and turning it into a royal hunting ground. No ordinary people dared to approach here. Now, even if the soldiers withdrew, the people would not say anything.
Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen were in the same carriage, while An Ge followed Ye Yiqing and Ming Xi.
For the first time in a carriage in the human world, An Ge endured for a long time before complaining, "Are the horses outside lame? Why are they so slow?"
"…" Ye Yiqing looked at him silently. The horses outside were of good quality. Although they were not as good as Ferghana horses, the lame … was too exaggerated.
"This is the horse of the human world. This speed is already considered fast." Ming Xi said. Although he was a little unaccustomed to it, he still had memories of the human world.
An Ge raised an eyebrow, "Well, I just … used an inappropriate word."
"Are the horses on your side fast?" Ye Yiqing asked in a low voice.
"I'll let you feel it when you have a chance." An Ge said. Although they could not operate the Sea of Qi like in the Upper God Continent, it was no problem for them to fly around.
Ye Yiqing's eyes flashed. To be honest, he was very curious about the so-called fantasy world. Unfortunately, he might not have the opportunity to go to that continent to see it.
They walked quietly along the way. After arriving at the capital, they went directly to Chengde Villa and did not enter the city.
Murong Ke had more or less understood what they had experienced in the past three years. Other than sighing that the world was full of wonders, he did not know what to say. The most important thing now was to bring Ming Yu over.
In just a few days, they had already arrived at the capital. Murong Ke did not follow them to Chengde Villa, but to the palace.
As soon as Ye Rou arrived at Chengde Villa, she saw many people standing in front of her. They were all familiar faces.
There was Lu Shiming and his wife, Lu Xiangzhi, Jin Shanshan and Zhao Yang, and her former palace maids …
They were the people she once trusted the most. She thought she would never have a chance to see them again. But now, they were right in front of her. Ye Zhen's eyes reddened, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something.
"Yao Yao, my Yao Yao …" Pei Shi burst into tears the moment she saw Ye Zhen. She rushed up and hugged her, crying uncontrollably.
"Mother, don't cry, I'm back, aren't I?" Ye Zhen was held in Pei Shi's arms, and her tears kept falling.
Both Jin Shanshan and Zhao Yang could not help but wipe their tears. They all knew that Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan had suffered great danger. It was a miracle that they could come back.
"Don't cry here, go back to the house first." Lu Shiming's eyes were also red. He tried hard to restrain himself, but his tone changed a little.
"Yes, Yao Yao's return is a happy event. I can't cry." Pei Shi let go of Ye Zhen and looked at her with a smile, wiping away her tears. "Go inside first."
Ye Zhen nodded gently, still not forgetting to look back at Mo Rongzhan. Seeing that Ming Xi had been holding Mo Rongzhan's hand, she was relieved.
The others also noticed Mo Rongzhan at this time and knelt down to salute him.
"This subject greets the Emperor. Your Majesty has returned safely, and there will be good fortune in the future." Lu Shiming said excitedly.
"Lord Lu, please get up." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, "I am no longer the Emperor of Jin Kingdom. There is no need to salute me anymore."
Mo Rongzhan walked unerringly in front of Lu Shiming and helped him up.
If she didn't know that his eyes had not been detoxified, Ye Zhen would almost think that he could see it.
"Your Majesty …" Lu Shiming was stunned. Listening to Mo Rongzhan's words, did he not intend to ask Murong Ke for the throne?
"Father, let's go in first." Ye Zhen whispered.
Lu Shiming came back to his senses and welcomed Mo Rongzhan and the others into Chengde Villa.
There were too many people, so Ye Zhen went to the side hall with the women. Pei Shi sat down and couldn't help but cry. She kept holding Ye Zhen's hand.
"Ah, seeing that you came back safe and sound, I have not worried about you all these years in vain." Zhao Yang gently pinched Ye Zhen's face. From the time they knew that Ye Zhen had an accident and disappeared, she and Ye Yiqing could not rest at ease. Fortunately, with the blessing of God, Ye Zhen finally came back safely.
"Not only did I come back safe and sound, but I also have good mountains and rivers that keep me as beautiful as a flower." Ye Zhen winked at Zhao Yang and looked at them with a smile.
Jin Shanshan said with a smile, "Look at her, she clearly wants us to be jealous of her."
Indeed, it has been so many years since they got married and had children. Time has long left its mark on them, but only Ye Zhen still looks like a young girl.
"Yes, yes, be jealous of me." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Yao Yao, tell me the truth. Did you suffer?" Zhao Yang asked.
Ye Zhen bowed her head and smiled. "How can I not suffer? I was separated from Ah Zhan and his son. It was not easy to find Ah Zhan … In short, the process was tortuous, but the result was good. That's enough."
"What tortuous? You said it so lightly. You must have suffered a lot." Pei Shi said.
"I … miss Ming Yu every day. This is the only thing that makes me feel bitter. Everything else is nothing." Ye Zhen whispered.
Jin Shanshan and Zhao Yang looked at each other. Both of their faces were a little strange.
"At first, Ming Yu thought about you all day, but later she got much better." Jin Shanshan's tone was vague. "And children are very forgetful. They remember everything after spending a long time together."
Ye Zhen was stunned, a little confused as to why Jin Shanshan said this.
Zhao Yang interrupted her thoughts. "You don't know yet, but you have a niece. It's a pity you didn't bring her out today."
"Really?" Ye Zhen looked at Jin Shanshan with joy.
"She's already more than a year old. She looks like your aunt." Jin Shanshan said with a smile. "Next time I bring her over, you will know when you see her."
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, but she was inexplicably nervous about seeing Ming Yu soon.
