Mo Rongyi, who had regained his spirit, was no longer as excited as before. He whispered what happened after he arrived in Qi. "Zhao Rao wrote several letters asking Ning 'er to go to Qi.
"Zhao Rao wrote several letters asking Ning 'er to go to Qi Kingdom. She said that she missed her sister very much. Ning' er hesitated for a long time, thinking that he was still young and didn't want to go far away. I thought that staying in the capital city wasn't peaceful either. Sixth Brother's people suspected that I was secretly plotting to usurp the throne. The ministers in the past wanted me to join forces with them, so I wanted to leave with Ning 'er. When we arrived in Qi Kingdom, everything was fine. Zhao Rao arranged for us to stay in the Princess's Mansion, which was originally the mansion that Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng lived in. I accidentally saw Shui Yichen and Cheng Zheng's letters in the study. Now that I think about it, Cheng Zheng might have deliberately let me find them.
"Cheng Zheng used this matter to put us under house arrest. Zhao Rao came to Ning 'er and persuaded us to be obedient, saying that he would not hurt us." Mo Rongyi's eyes turned red. "I refused to agree to Cheng Zheng's request, so they took Ning 'er and his mother away. I spent two months alone in the princess's mansion before I compromised and agreed. Cheng Zheng gave me a donkey and took all the silver I had on me. He told me to go back to Jin Kingdom alone. He threatened me that if I could not do what he asked, Ning' er and his mother would live in Qi like me in the future …"
Mo Rongyi raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his expression desperate and painful. "Cheng Zheng and Zhao Rao are jackals of the same lair. They will not treat Ning 'er and his mother well. Ning' er is pregnant …"
"Ah Yi!" Ye Zhen held his shoulder. "Zhao Ning is Zhao Rao's sister. She is also the princess of Qi. No matter what Cheng Zheng does, he will not do anything to her at this time. You can rest assured that we will rescue them."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes were cold as he sat beside Ye Zhen without saying a word.
"I'm so useless that I can't even protect my wife and children." Mo Rongyi cried with guilt.
"Uncle, you are wrong to say that. Let Cheng Zheng bring his wife and children to our Jin Kingdom. We can make him even more miserable." Ming Xi, who was outside the door, poked his small head out and said to Mo Rongyi with a serious face.
Ye Zhen glared at him. "What are you doing here?"
"Mother, I happened to pass by." Ming Xi laughed as he walked in. "Little Royal Uncle, you were completely unprepared when you went to the Qi Kingdom. Cheng Zheng is clearly inviting you into a trap. If he dares to come to the Jin Kingdom alone, he might not be able to return. If he returns, he will be more like a beggar than a beggar."
"…" Mo Rongyi stared blankly at his nephew.
Ye Zhen scolded in a low voice, "Get out of here, don't make trouble." He then smiled at Mo Rongyi and said, "Ah Yi, Mingxi is actually quite right. Cheng Zheng's actions are despicable. For us gentlemen, it's never too late to take revenge even after ten years."
Just as he reached the door, Ming Xi turned his head back. "In less than ten years, the next time I see him, I'll be able to take revenge."
Mo Rongyi chuckled. "I understand what you're saying. It's just that there's no news of Ning 'er and his mother at all. I feel very uneasy."
"Then think of a way to save them." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, "Now that you are awake, go with Mingxi to find Tang Zhen. Mingxi will tell you what to do on the way."
"What?" Mo Rongyi was stunned.
Ming Xi's eyes lit up and he popped out of the door again. "Father, shall I take Xiao Wang to Wei City now?"
"Take your Xiao Wang to dinner first." Ye Zhen said and took out a medicinal pill from her arms. "Eat this first."
"Sister-in-law, I'm not sick, so I don't need to take medicine." Mo Rongyi's face showed fear. Like his father, he didn't like to take medicine.
Ye Zhen said, "This is not a medicine. It's to restore your strength as soon as possible."
"All right." Mo Rongyi took the pill and swallowed it with his eyes closed. There was no bitterness as he imagined. A fragrance spread in his mouth and the pill melted in his mouth. He felt a warm current flowing through his limbs and bones. His body seemed to be full of strength all at once. He looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. "Sister-in-law, what is this? It's amazing."
"Of course, it's a miracle doctor. Of course, things are magical." Ye Zhen said confidently.
Ming Xi urged Mo Rongyi. "Xiao Wang, let's go."
Mo Rongyi looked at Ye Zhen. "I'm going to Wei City. Ning 'er and the others …"
"Let's go to Qi." Ye Zhen said.
Hearing that Ye Zhen was going to Qi, Mo Rongyi was relieved. With his brother and sister-in-law, he felt that they would be able to rescue Zhao Ning.
Ming Xi and Mo Rongyi left the inn first and went in another direction.
At this time, Murong Ke in the palace already knew about Mo Rongyi's disappearance.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to go to the little prince myself?" Song Jiong asked in a low voice. The little prince must have been taken away by Mo Rongzhan. He didn't know what they meant.
"No need." Murong Ke said faintly. "Order Tang Zhen to return to the capital and spread the news that I want him to surrender his military power."
Song Jiong was surprised. "Your Majesty?"
At this time, asking Tang Zhen to surrender his military power would make many people's imagination run wild. There were also several generals guarding the border. They were all former subordinates of Mo Rongzhan. If they knew that Mo Rongzhan had returned, it would be difficult to guarantee that the morale of the army would be shaken.
"Do as I say." Murong Ke said in a deep voice.
Song Jiong bowed his head and promised.
After a while, Ye Chunnan entered the palace and asked for an audience.
"Your Majesty." Ye Chunnan saluted.
Murong Ke glanced at him. "You know about Yi's matter?"
"Yes." Ye Chunnan nodded lightly.
"There is another thing." Murong Ke said in a deep voice and told Ye Chunnan about Mo Rongzhan's plan.
Ye Chunnan listened silently. "Your Majesty wants me to cooperate with Tang Zhen and pretend to rebel?"
"You and Tang Zhen's rebellion is just to make Cheng Zheng and Shui Yichen believe it, but the others …" Murong Ke's face was heavy. He didn't want Jin Country to start a civil war before dealing with Cheng Zheng.
"Don't worry. Jin Lou and the others are not impulsive people." Ye Chunnan said.
Murong Ke looked at Ye Chunnan for a while and nodded lightly. "Well, then you should know what to do."
"I understand." Ye Chunnan nodded gently. He knew that Jin Lou and the others would not be impulsive, but others might not. So he had to secretly communicate with those people. Otherwise, it would create opportunities for Cheng Zheng and Shui Yichen.
"I heard that Lord Ye has left the capital?" Murong Ke asked.
Ye Chunnan said, "My father has set off for China."
"Mingxi's master, An Ge, went with him?" Murong Ke asked.
"Yes." Ye Chunnan replied.
Murong Ke raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing more. Perhaps, soon, Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen would also go to China.
He knew that they would not stay in the capital for long.
"After this …" Murong Ke's voice was very low. "Resume the talent show."
Ye Chunnan's eyes flashed with surprise.
