Looking at Zhao Xiang, who had fainted, Zhao Rao's heart felt like it had been struck by something.
"Send the second princess to Yangxin Palace, change her clothes and call the imperial doctor." Zhao Rao supported Zhao Xiang, calmly ordering, "Prepare the carriage, we're going to Stone Village!"
The shadow guard's face changed, "Your Majesty, there's an official in Stone Village …"
"So, the fifth princess is really in Stone Village." Zhao Rao looked at them coldly, "Lead the way!"
She really had a bad omen. She didn't know if it was because of Zhao Ning or Cheng Zheng. Zhao Xiang came here regardless of everything. She didn't even have a carriage, let alone a maid beside her. Cheng Zheng must have done something to the Song Family.
Cheng Zheng had promised her that he would not hurt Zhao Ning.
He did all this behind her back. If the result was not what he wanted, he would have to bear all the censors' criticism. He had racked his brains to give her a peaceful Qi Kingdom.
But she didn't need him to do this.
They still had a lot of time, there was no need to rush things.
The carriage broke through the curtain of rain, heading straight out of the city gates.
The rain was getting heavier.
Ye Zhen helped Zhao Ning onto the carriage, while Lin Zhiran hugged the handsome boy, who was already drowsy, leaning on Lin Zhiran's shoulder.
"Sister-in-law, can we leave now?" Zhao Ning looked at Ye Zhen excitedly, one hand on her stomach. Could she really go back?
"Yes, Xue Lin will take you away first. Ah Zhan and I will deal with the rest and come find you." Ye Zhen comforted Zhao Ning, telling her not to worry.
Zhao Ning nodded lightly, she trusted Ye Zhen.
The carriage moved in the night, Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan sitting in the front. Only by sending Zhao Ning and the rest out of the village and onto the official road could they return to the capital with peace of mind.
Crack!
A flash of lightning lit up half the sky.
The horse neighed, and the carriage came to a halt.
In front of them stood dozens of figures, torches flickering in the heavy rain. Ye Zhen saw Cheng Zheng standing in the middle.
"Ah Zhan, I'll deal with Cheng Zheng. You send Zhao Ning and the rest away." Ye Zhen whispered to Mo Rongzhan.
"Can I?" Mo Rongzhan held her hand. Even though he knew that her cultivation would be no problem in the human world, he still couldn't bear to see her suffer.
Ye Zhen blinked. "Are you underestimating me or overestimating Cheng Zheng?"
"Then be careful." Mo Rongzhan's lips curled into a smile. He opened the big black umbrella in his hand and got down from the shaft of the carriage. He did not even turn his head back as he walked towards Zhao Ning's carriage.
Cheng Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the back of the figure in the night. It looked somewhat familiar, but he had never seen that person's face before.
Mo Rongzhan stood at the shaft of the carriage as the carriage drove past him. It was as though the Shadow Guards in front were transparent.
"Who are you?" Cheng Zheng's heart was on high alert. The person inside the carriage was definitely Zhao Ning, but he couldn't tell who it was that saved them.
It wasn't Song Hongao! Not to mention Song Hongrao's men! He didn't know that there were other people in the capital who wanted to save Zhao Ning.
"Cheng Zheng, you used to be a great general. It's too shameful for you to kidnap a woman and a child to threaten others." Ye Zhen came out of the carriage with an umbrella, a smile on her face but her eyes were cold. "Cheng Zheng, you were a great general before.
The first carriage had already approached the shadow guards. Cheng Zheng waved his hand and several shadow guards rushed towards the carriage. But before they could even get close to the shaft, they were bounced back.
Cheng Zheng's eyes flashed as he looked at Ye Zhen even more coldly.
This man and woman … gave him a strange feeling.
"I advise you not to stop them." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "If something happens to Zhao Ning here, Zhao Rao will not have an easy time in the future."
Cheng Zheng's hand clenched the hilt of his sword. He knew that he had met a strong enemy today.
"You rescue the Fifth Princess." Cheng Zheng decided to let all the shadow guards stop the man. He held his sword and walked towards the strange woman alone.
He could see the man's concern for this woman. If he caught this woman, he would naturally be able to make the man submit.
Mo Rongyi's carriage kept moving forward. Even if all the shadow guards surrounded him, they could not stop him.
The shadow guards were bounced back, but the man did not kill them.
"Are you from the Jin Kingdom?" Cheng Zheng no longer looked at the shadow guards and focused all his attention on Ye Zhen.
"Oh, you guessed it right." Ye Zhen nodded. "We are going to take Zhao Ning back. By the way … we intend to make sure that you will not be so capricious in the future."
Cheng Zheng's thin lips evoked a mocking smile. "So, you want to kill me? Just you?"
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded seriously. "I didn't want to do it, but if you don't die, it will not be good for the Jin Kingdom."
"Haha." Cheng Zheng sneered. "Murong Ke sent you."
Ye Zhen landed easily from the source of the carriage. Her skirt was wet from the rain. She frowned slightly. "I really don't like rainy weather."
"Zhao Rao is already the Emperor of Qi. How can you still be so ambitious? You were not like this when Zhao Yong was alive." Ye Zhen said suspiciously as she carefully stepped on a place where there was no water.
This woman must have seen him before!
Cheng Zheng looked at Ye Zhen coldly, recalling when he had seen her.
Her appearance was ordinary, only a pair of eyes still shone like stars in the night.
A name flashed in his mind, but he quickly denied it. Impossible! How could it be that person?
"Your men won't be able to get up." Ye Zhen said. Seeing that Zhao Ning's carriage had disappeared into the night, she was sure that they would be able to leave safely.
Next, there was only Cheng Zheng left.
Cheng Zheng looked at her in silence.
"If Yi had really usurped the throne, are you planning to use him to attack the Yuan Kingdom? The letters between you and Shui Yichen were fake, right?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
"Yes." Cheng Zheng nodded. He knew that he had to kill this woman today no matter what.
The long sword in his hand slashed through the rain, sharp and cold.
A silver whip quickly wrapped around his wrist like a dragon.
What a fast speed! Cheng Zheng's heart sank. After so many years, this was the first time he had seen someone act so fast.
"It's right to want to protect the person you love." Ye Zhen held the umbrella in one hand and the silver whip in the other. She leapt into the air and slammed the whip heavily on Cheng Zheng's shoulder. "You shouldn't have hurt Yi, and you shouldn't have treated Zhao Ning and a child that way."
Cheng Zheng roared, wanting to use his internal energy to break free from the grip of the silver whip.
Ye Zhen did not use the Sun Rider Whip. She knew very well that it could not be used in the human world. The silver whip in her hand was won from Tang Zhen.
She did not have internal energy, but a little spiritual power was enough to restrict Cheng Zheng's movements.
A silver arrow shot out from her wrist and sank into Cheng Zheng's chest.
Not far away, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.
