Ming Xi took Mo Rongyi and the others on the road to Wei City while Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan went all the way to Qi.
Both Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan had taken a face-changing pill. If they didn't say it out loud, no one would recognize them. Just as they were about to arrive in Qi, Shen Yi and Xue Lin arrived.
"Separate into the city. You should first inquire about the state of Qi in the past few years." Mo Rongzhan ordered in a deep voice.
"Cheng Zheng should have seen Shen Yi and the others. If you want to enter the city, you should disguise yourself first. Otherwise, as before, you will be recognized soon."
Shen Yi said, "We tried to disguise ourselves before, but … we were still recognized."
"Your Highness and Your Highness' disguise … it's hard to distinguish between the real and the fake." Xue Lin glanced at Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen. If they hadn't taken the initiative to contact them, they probably would never have recognized them.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll change your appearance for you. It can last for a month."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Shen Yi said gratefully. If Your Highness can disguise them, they will certainly not be recognized when they arrive in the capital.
Ye Zhen said to Mo Rongzhan, "Cheng Zheng wants to hold Zhao Ning hostage to threaten Ah Yi. This matter must not be known to other people in the Qi Kingdom. Otherwise, Zhao Rao will be regarded as ruthless and merciless in killing her brothers and sisters. The old ministers of Zhao Yong will certainly feel bitterly disappointed. Zhao Ning will certainly not be treated harshly in the Qi Kingdom.
"Well, it's not difficult to find Zhao Ning." Mo Rongzhan said lightly. What they have to do now is not only to save Zhao Ning. Even if they can't subdue Qi, they must make it impossible for Qi to offend Jin.
Ye Zhen didn't think as much as Mo Rongzhan. She felt that it was not too late to take Zhao Ning back and settle accounts with Cheng Zheng later.
She gave Shen Yi and Xue Lin a face-changing pill. In order not to make them feel too incredulous, Ye Zhen deliberately fiddled with their faces a few times. However, when Shen Yi and the others saw their appearance after the disguise, they were still shocked and almost couldn't recognize themselves.
They separated in the border town. Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen became an ordinary couple. They were ready to go to the capital to seek a doctor.
The State of Qi was not the same as it was four years ago. Ye Zhen had been here once before. At that time, she felt that the State of Qi was prosperous and the people were rich and strong. But now, it was not as good as before.
It seemed that the Qi Kingdom had been in turmoil for the past few years.
"Zhao Yong's children are not as good as him." Ye Zhen whispered. This was the only feeling she had after entering the State of Qi.
"That was also taught by him." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Ye Zhen thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that Zhao Yong was good at governing the country, but the fate of women and children was not very good.
After entering the border of the Qi Kingdom, they gradually learned more about what had happened in the Qi Kingdom in the past few years.
After Zhao Yong's death, the Fifth Prince ascended the throne as the new Emperor. This Fifth Prince was originally brought up by Zhao Rao, and Cheng Zheng was his teacher. Originally, the two of them should have been the most supportive of the Fifth Prince. However, after the Fifth Prince ascended the throne, the number of people he came into contact with gradually increased, and there were more people around him who wanted to flatter him. Cheng Zheng's military achievements were unparalleled, and under the instigation of others, the Fifth Prince became more suspicious of Cheng Zheng. He even used Cheng Zheng's status as an excuse to object to Zhao Rao's close association with him, which was a disgrace to the Imperial Family.
Cheng Zheng was a man of deep thoughts. At the beginning, when he supported the Fifth Prince, he had reservations. Now, he was even suspected and even wanted to separate his sweetheart from him. Naturally, he was unwilling. So, he pulled the Fifth Prince down from the throne and supported Zhao Rao to become the second empress in the world.
Zhao Rao seized the throne, and Cheng Zheng was restored to his old status. He was no longer Zhao Rao's uncle. Now, he could openly enter and leave the harem. Almost every night, he spent the night in the harem. He had become Zhao Rao's husband.
However, although the courtiers of the Qi Kingdom had some complaints about him, he had a large army in his hands and Zhao Rao's wholehearted trust. No one could shake him at all. Therefore, almost the entire court had regarded him as the emperor behind them.
"Cheng Zheng killed the Fifth Prince?" Ye Zhen frowned slightly. She remembered that there were several princesses in the Qi Kingdom. Zhao Rao's relationship with the other princesses was unknown.
"I don't think so." Mo Rongzhan handed the letter he had just received to Ye Zhen. He could not see what was written inside. Based on his understanding of Cheng Zheng, Cheng Zheng should not kill the Fifth Prince and would even treat him well. However, whether the Fifth Prince would still have his freedom was another matter.
Just like Mo Ronghui, didn't he also survive in the palace for a few years?
"The capital is in front." Ye Zhen whispered.
Wu Chong, who was sitting on the shaft as the coachman, said, "Master, Madam, there are soldiers questioning us in front."
"It seems that entering the capital is different from other places." Ye Zhen said that after they entered the Qi Kingdom, they could enter the city as long as they took out the road sign. Only the capital needed to be questioned.
Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "It's normal."
As their carriage approached the city gate, it was immediately stopped by someone.
Wu Chong handed over the road sign and smiled flatteringly. "Officer, this is our road sign."
"Who is in the carriage?" The officer asked, wanting to check the people in the carriage.
"It's our master and madam. They want to go to the city to see Doctor Liu for treatment." Wu Chong said.
"Open the carriage curtain." The officer shouted.
Ye Zhen lifted the curtain and smiled at the officer. "Officer, this common woman's husband is ill and can't see. I heard that Doctor Liu in the capital is very good at treating eye diseases. I have heard that Doctor Liu in the capital is very good at treating eye diseases.
Wu Chong stuffed a little silver into the officer's hand and looked at him with a smile.
The man looked inside the carriage and saw that Mo Rongzhan's eyes were gray. He stuffed the silver into his belt and waved for their carriage to pass.
Their carriage slowly passed through the city gate. Through the curtain, Ye Zhen saw a tall figure riding a horse in front of them.
"Cheng Zheng!" She put down the curtain and whispered to Mo Rongzhan, "Cheng Zheng is here."
"He can't recognize us." Mo Rongzhan held her hand and motioned for her not to be nervous.
Ye Zhen remembered that they had taken the Appearance Changing Pill. Even if they stood in front of Cheng Zheng, he would not recognize them.
"Are we staying in an inn?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"No, we already have a place to live." Mo Rongzhan said that he had prepared a courtyard house in the alley not far from the Cheng family's house. Although he had not lived in it for a long time, it should be no problem after a little cleaning.
"You prepared it before?" Ye Zhen's eyes widened. "Did you arrange someone in the Qi Kingdom?"
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. "That was in the past. No matter which emperor it is, he wants to unify the world."
"What about now?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Someone else will unify the world." Mo Rongzhan's thin lips floated into a smile.
He had already obtained something better than the world.
