The Song Family was surrounded by the Shadow Guards, not to mention Song Hongao, even the servants were not allowed to go out, scaring everyone. They thought that the Song Family had committed a huge crime, so they all looked for Zhao Xiang and Song Hongao to ask.
Zhao Xiang comforted the wives and went to the study to see Song Hongao.
"Uncle, do you know what Cheng Zheng wants?" Zhao Xiang asked.
Song Hongao was talking to his brother. When he heard Zhao Xiang's question, he nodded slightly, "He wants to find the Fifth Princess."
"What a joke. What does he want to find the Fifth Princess have to do with the Song Family?" Second Master Song said angrily, "Cheng Zheng is obviously a wolf with wild ambitions."
"Go and comfort mother. The Princess and I will think of other things." Song Hongao found an excuse to send his brother away. This brother loved to study and was a scholar in Hanlin Academy. He never cared about the court's fights and only did what he should do. He was upright and slightly pedantic. Many things were taught by the Second Princess.
Zhao Xiang said softly to Second Master Song, "Mother has never seen such a situation. Husband, you should go and accompany mother. Uncle and I are here."
"Alright." Second Master Song nodded his head. He knew that he wouldn't be of much help here anyway.
This second brother listened to the Princess the most.
Song Hongao was gratified. Although his second brother did not have a bright future, he was in love with the Princess and the Princess was deeply in love with him. This was enough.
After Second Master Song left, Zhao Xiang's expression became serious, "Uncle, did you save Ning'er?"
"I was about to tell the Princess about this." Song Hongao said, "Cheng Zheng wanted to use Mo Rongyi to deal with the Jin Kingdom. He detained the Fifth Princess in the Cheng Residence's dungeon. I have already saved her and she is hiding in Stone Village outside the city. Now that Cheng Zheng knows that this matter is related to me, he will probably find the Fifth Princess soon."
Zhao Xiang's expression changed and she said angrily, "It really is him! The Emperor allowed him to treat Ning'er like this. "
"The Emperor might not know." Song Hongao had been by Zhao Yong's side for so many years and knew Zhao Rao well. Although she appeared cold, she was actually a sentimental person. Otherwise, she would not have brooded over the death of the late Empress for so many years.
"Cheng Zheng acted on his own and did it behind the Emperor's back?" When Zhao Xiang heard this, she felt better. She didn't want to believe that her elder sister would become a person who didn't recognize her family.
Song Hongao said, "The Fifth Princess is pregnant and has a child by her side. It wasn't easy for me to send her away from the Kingdom of Qi. Cheng Zheng found out too quickly and his people are all around the capital. I could only hide the Fifth Princess in the village. If Cheng Zheng finds her again, I'm afraid it won't be easy to save her."
"Uncle, what do you need me to do? Just tell me." Zhao Xiang understood that Song Honao must have something to tell her to stay.
"Go find the Emperor. Only the Emperor can protect the Fifth Princess now." Song Hongao said, "The Song Family has a secret passage that leads to the back of the mountain. You can leave from there and enter the palace. Before Cheng Zheng finds the Fifth Princess, let the Emperor find her first."
Zhao Xiang did not hesitate, "Alright!"
Song Hongao nodded. "I'll escort the princess out."
Just as they walked out of the study, two shadow guards came in from the door, "Greetings Second Princess, Marquis."
"Princess, since Mother is looking for you, then you should accompany Mother first." Cheng Zheng clearly intended to keep a close eye on him. He could only let Zhao Xiang go out by herself.
Besides him, only his mother knew about the Song Family's secret passage.
Zhao Xiang glanced at the two shadow guards indifferently and nodded to Song Hongao, "Alright."
"Sirs, is there something you need from this Marquis?" Song Hongao glanced at the two.
"Marquis, please forgive us. Cheng Daren wants us to search the Song Family." The two shadow guards said respectfully, but their attitude was very unyielding.
Song Hongao sneered, "Does Cheng Zheng think that our Song Family is easy to bully?"
"Marquis, please make things convenient for us." The two shadow guards said.
"Unless it's the Emperor's decree, there's no need to discuss." Song Hongao coldly refused.
The shadow guards looked at each other. They didn't expect Song Hongao to refuse so firmly.
Song Hongao turned to enter the study and ordered the Song Family soldiers to guard the door, not allowing the shadow guards to take half a step in. They were to stand at the door.
"What should we do?" One of the shadow guards asked softly.
"Watch. Anyway, Cheng Daren only wants Song Hongao to stay at the door."

Ye Zhen originally planned to go to Mo Rongzhan after dark. Who would have thought that as soon as the sky darkened, a certain man had already appeared in her room.
"How did you know I was here?" Ye Zhen saw Mo Rongzhan's figure and hugged him in surprise. "I was just thinking of looking for you."
Mo Rongzhan held her in his arms. He hadn't seen her for almost three days. He buried his face in her neck, feeling her warmth. "Don't forget, my soul is branded on you."
"Zhao Ning is here." Ye Zhen leaned softly in his arms. Even if she could protect Zhao Ning alone outside, in front of Mo Rongzhan, she only wanted to be protected by him.
"I know." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, "Why didn't you take them away?"
Ye Zhen whispered, "Her fetus is unstable and she almost had a miscarriage. I've been nursing her body these days. Jun Ge is also sick. You know Jun Ge, your nephew."
Mo Rongzhan chuckled. "Well, I know."
"Song Honao hid Zhao Ning and the others here. He should be trying to save them." Ye Zhen said, "I have observed him for the past few days. He is not bad to Zhao Ning. He caught me to treat Zhao Ning, but I still don't quite understand why he did this."
"Probably because of some old affection for Zhao Yong." Mo Rongzhan said faintly. "What are you going to do?"
"I don't want to let Cheng Zheng go." Ye Zhen said, "He must die."
Mo Rongzhan nodded gently. "Good."
"You can't kill him." Ye Zhen rubbed his face. "Let me do it."
"I can kill him without using spiritual power." Mo Rongzhan frowned. He didn't want Ye Zhen's hands to be stained with the blood of other men.
Ye Zhen snorted. "You don't have to lie to me. If it was you in the past, there would be no problem. But now that you are Emperor Mo, you are bound by the heavenly rules. If you kill Cheng Zheng, your Qi Sea will be injured."
"A little injury doesn't matter." Mo Rongzhan said.
Ye Zhen took his hand. "Let me do it."
Mo Rongzhan raised his hand and touched her cheek. "Well."
"Let's take Zhao Ning and his mother away first." Ye Zhen said. "With you here, it will be safer to take them away."
"Good." Mo Rongzhan nodded with a smile.
Rumble!
"Today's weather is not good. There was a rainstorm in the afternoon, and now it's going to rain again." Ye Zhen frowned. "Let's take Zhao Ning and the others away from here before it rains."
"You go find Zhao Ning, leave the others to me." Mo Rongzhan said.
