Mo Rongyi is back?
Ye Zhen was surprised, but more than that, she was happy. Since Mo Rongyi could come back, it proved that he was safe and sound in Qi.
"Lord Song, where is Yi?" Ye Zhen asked hurriedly.
"The little prince has just entered the city, but he seems to be ill." Song Jiong said, "I asked someone to send the little prince back to the mansion first."
Ye Zhen's expression froze. "What about the princess?"
Song Jiong was stunned. Only then did he realize what was wrong. "It seems that … only the little prince came back alone."
"To Prince Yi's mansion." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, taking Ye Zhen's hand and getting off the carriage.
The coachman was Xue Lin, who had already driven the carriage to Prince Yi's mansion.
Song Jiong's face was a little pale. When he saw Mo Rongyi coming back from the city gate, he hurried to tell Ye Zhen the news. He was afraid that they would miss Mo Rongyi when they left the city today. In his haste, he neglected another important thing.
Mo Rongyi took Zhao Ning back to Qi. Why did he come back alone this time? What about the princess and the prince?
"Something may have happened." Song Jiong murmured. He had to tell the emperor about it quickly.
The distance between Prince Yi's mansion and Prince Qin's mansion was relatively far. It took less than half an hour to arrive. Mo Rongyi had already been sent back. Lying on the bed, he was still a little dizzy and could not recognize the person in front of him.
"How did Yi become like this?" Ye Zhen exclaimed when she saw Mo Rongyi.
Compared with the handsome boy four years ago, Mo Rongyi now looked thin and dark, and his complexion was pale, completely devoid of his former glory. Ye Zhen did not dare to think about it. She hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and pushed away the imperial doctor who was taking his pulse.
"Yi, Yi?" Ye Zhen took his pulse and confirmed that he was not seriously ill. She was relieved. "Go cook a bowl of porridge. Cook it until it is soft."
"Yao Yao, what happened to Yi?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen said, "He fainted from hunger. Let him eat some porridge first."
Mo Rongzhan was silent when he heard this.
"You all go." Ye Zhen dismissed the others, including the doctor.
The servants and imperial physicians in the room knew Ye Zhen's former identity. They just glanced at her and Mo Rongzhan, then bowed their heads and retreated.
After everyone had left, Ye Rou fed Mo Rongyi some spirit spring water and elixirs. She said coldly, "A dignified prince actually fainted from hunger. I don't believe that A Yi's current state has nothing to do with the State of Qi."
"There's no hurry. Let Yi be fine first." Mo Rongzhan's voice was cold. If it was really related to the Qi Kingdom, he would definitely make them pay the price.
Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongyi distressed. She regarded him as her own younger brother. Now, she didn't know what he had suffered, but she felt sad just by looking at him.
"I've already fed him the Spirit Spring Water, and he's also eaten the Elixir to nourish his body. He should be able to wake up after drinking a bowl of porridge." Ye Zhen said, looking down at Mo Rongyi's thin face. There were still stains on his face, and he looked very embarrassed.
Mo Rongzhan stood beside the bed. Although he couldn't see Mo Rongyi's appearance, he could feel his weak breathing. He had protected this younger brother since he was a child. Even when the former emperor was alive, no one had ever treated the child like this.
"I'll ask someone to fetch some water and wash Yi first." Ye Zhen whispered and went out to instruct the servants.
Ye Zhen went to the next hall and called the person who brought Mo Rongyi back to inquire. Only then did she know that Mo Rongyi came back alone, without even a follower, and without a carriage, only a donkey. The donkey had fallen outside the city gate, and she didn't know if it was dead or not.
Zhao Ning and the child had not returned, and Mo Rongyi was almost out of shape. She didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with the Qi Kingdom.
"Princess Qin, the little prince is awake." A servant girl came to report to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen's expression sank, and she turned and walked out of the hall.
"Mother, how is the little uncle?" Mingxi, who followed her to Prince Yi's mansion, was in the courtyard. Both Huo Huang and Shang 'er were watching her.
"He has woken up. We will not go to the Qi Kingdom for the time being. You go back first." Ye Zhen whispered.
Mingxi nodded gently. "Good."
Before Ye Zhen entered the room, she heard a muffled cry coming from inside. She could tell that it was Mo Rongyi's voice.
She gently pushed the door open and saw Mo Rongyi lying on Mo Rongzhan's lap, crying as if he wanted to cry out the grievances and bitterness of the past four years.
Seeing him like this, Ye Zhen knew that he must have had a hard time in the past few years.
"Yi …" Ye Zhen walked over slowly and patted his shoulder gently.
Mo Rongyi cried for a long time before he finally calmed down.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I … I let you see a joke." Mo Rongyi wiped away the tears on his face and said in a hoarse voice.
"Yi, what happened?" Ye Zhen asked softly. "How did you become like this? Where is Zhao Ning?"
Mo Rongyi said hoarsely, "She is still in the Qi Kingdom."
"What did Cheng Zheng do to you?" Mo Rongzhan asked bluntly.
"He …" Mo Rongyi clenched his hands and clenched them into fists. A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. He looked at Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen, weighing in his heart. If he did what Cheng Zheng did, it would be difficult for him to succeed. In the end, he might even lose Zhao Ning and his son. Now that his brother had returned, Cheng Zheng certainly did not know, so he could change his original plan.
"Cheng Zheng wanted me to usurp the throne. He left Zhao Ning in the Qi Kingdom as a hostage. He wanted me to come back and contact your old subordinates to usurp the throne …" Mo Rongyi gasped. "If I didn't do this, he wouldn't let me see Zhao Ning and his son again. I had no choice but to agree. I wanted to see Zhao Ning before I came back, but he wouldn't let me. I don't even know if they are safe or not."
Ye Zhen said angrily, "Cheng Zheng wanted you to usurp the throne and then have the opportunity to annex the Jin Kingdom?"
"When Zhao Ning and I arrived in the Qi Kingdom, Cheng Zheng let us stay in the princess's mansion. I accidentally found a letter between him and Shui Yichen, but … I couldn't understand what was said. They seemed to be communicating in a secret language. Brother, sister-in-law, it's good that you are back. Cheng Zheng and Shui Yichen must be plotting something." Mo Rongyi shouted.
It had something to do with Shui Yichen! Ye Zhen frowned. "What about Zhao Rao? Zhao Ning is her sister. Did she allow Cheng Zheng to treat you like this? "
"Zhao Rao is also ambitious. If she didn't acquiesce, how could Cheng Zheng treat Zhao Ning like this?" Mo Rongyi shouted.
Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "You should take care of yourself first. Don't worry about Zhao Ning."
"Brother, am I too useless?" Mo Rongyi asked, choking with sobs.
"Don't say such silly things." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
