Because of Cheng Zheng's death, the State of Qi was indeed in a state of unrest.
Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen arrived at the Hengwan port of Zhehe River, rented a merchant ship, and went directly to Yuan Kingdom.
The Zhehe River was connected to Yuan Kingdom because she had promised to cure Zhao Yong's terminal illness. Today, it was convenient for them.
"I didn't expect the port to be so prosperous." Ye Zhen sighed. "I wonder how Yuan Kingdom is doing."
"This is the result of your persistence." Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. "Yao Yao has the talent to govern a country."
Ye Zhen's cheeks blushed slightly. "Oh, it's nothing."
The smile in Mo Rongzhan's eyes became more gentle. "Murong Ke exiled Teng Ye to the wilderness."
"Ah?" Ye Zhen was stunned. "What happened?"
"Since the news that Tang Zhen colluded with Shui Yichen …" Mo Rongzhan briefly explained what had happened. "It seems that our existence makes many people feel uneasy."
Ye Zhen frowned. "Teng Ye is afraid that you will become the emperor again."
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Hmm."
"You think too much, but he is not important. I am more worried about Mingxi." Ever since he had gone to the Xuantian Continent, Ming Xi had become a completely different person. The stern and serious son of the past had disappeared. Now, he was playing all sorts of games. Fortunately, he was smart and skilled in martial arts, and he knew his limits. Otherwise, her hair would have turned white from worrying.
Ahchoo!
Mingxi rubbed his nose and muttered in his heart. I have been sneezing since early this morning. Who is thinking about me?
"Shh." Fire Phoenix turned around and signaled him not to make a sound. They were currently following Shui Yichen. Two days ago, they thought that they could follow Shui Yichen to find Huangfu Chen, but who knew that Huangfu Chen was not even at the place where he used to live. Moreover, he seemed to be intentionally avoiding Shui Yichen and refused to appear. Today, Shui Yichen's men said that they had found Huangfu Chen, so they followed him.
"It must be my mother talking about me." Mingxi whispered, "Mr. Huangfu is too good at hiding. We have been looking for him for two days and still haven't found him."
They followed Shui Yichen and Zhao Tianji to no avail. They could not find Huangfu Chen and hoped that they could find him today.
Shang'er was still eating sweet plums when she saw Shui Yichen turn back and pull Fire Phoenix and Mingxi to hide in the tree.
"Shui Yichen's vigilance is too high." Fire Phoenix said in a low voice.
Ming Xi glared at him, indicating for him to stop talking.
"Big Brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Tianji, who was walking beside Shui Yichen, asked in confusion.
Apart from Shui Yichen, Zhao Tianji and Shen Luoyang also went to look for Huangfu Chen.
"Let's go." Shui Yichen shook his head lightly and continued walking forward. Ever since that night, he had always felt that someone was following him, but he couldn't find that person. Was he being overly suspicious?
"That's where Mr. Huangfu lives." They walked out of the forest and pointed to a bamboo house by the lake. This place was secluded and remote, and it was in the forest next to the capital. No wonder they could not find him.
Shui Yichen's expression was cold as he strode towards the bamboo house. Just as he was about to reach the fence, the door of the bamboo house opened and a tall and elegant figure appeared in their line of sight.
"Brother Huangfu." Zhao Tianji's face lit up, and he ran over with big strides. "You're really good at hiding. We've been looking for you for a long time before we finally found you."
"What's the matter?" Huangfu Chen glanced at Shui Yichen indifferently. Since they had already found this place, it meant that they had been looking for him for a few days. Previously, they had even found his hiding place in the capital.
Shui Yichen looked at him coldly. "How long do you want to hide?"
"I like peace and quiet. This place is perfect. I don't want to hide," Huangfu Chen said indifferently.
"Sigh, that's not important anymore. Brother Huangfu, do you know that the Heavenly Consort has appeared? The statue outside the city gate seems to have come to life. It looks exactly like the Heavenly Consort," Zhao Tianji said.
Huangfu Chen frowned slightly. "No matter how similar the statue is, it's impossible for it to come to life. Don't talk nonsense."
"You didn't do it?" Shui Yichen looked at Huangfu Chen expressionlessly. Although he knew that Huangfu Chen couldn't do it with his martial arts, he couldn't think of anyone else in the entire Royal Capital who had the highest possibility of doing it.
Huangfu Chen smiled faintly. "What did I do? Why did you come to find me? "
"Someone touched Yaoyao's statue in one night," Shui Yichen said coldly. "If it wasn't you, I don't know who it could be."
"It wasn't me," Huangfu Chen said indifferently. "If there's nothing else, I won't see you out."
Zhao Tianji shouted, "Do you want to live here for the rest of your life?"
Shui Yichen pulled Zhao Tianji behind him and took a few steps forward. He looked at Huangfu Chen sternly. "Do you think Yaoyao will come back to life if you hide from the world? Are you worthy of her trust if you ignore the affairs of the country and the court? "
"My opinion is different from yours." Huangfu Chen's eyes were indifferent. He chose to avoid the court for the sake of the Yuan Nation. Without Yaoyao, there would only be him and Shui Yichen. The court would be divided into factions, and by then, the Yuan Nation that Yaoyao had spent so much effort to conquer would be affected.
"Even so, don't you want to avenge Yaoyao?" Shui Yichen asked.
"Avenge who?" Huangfu Chen asked back. "I told you that this has nothing to do with Murong Ke."
Shui Yichen sneered. "It can't be anyone else but him."
Huangfu Chen sighed in his heart. "Yaoyao was taken away by Chou Hen."
"Maybe the Heavenly Consort will come back soon," Zhao Tianji said. "Do you really want to see the statue?"
"Maybe she will come back," Shui Yichen said indifferently. "There are some problems in the Qi Nation and the Jin Nation recently. I hope that you can go to the Jin Nation."
Huangfu Chen looked at Shui Yichen silently for a while. "Okay, this is the last time."
Ming Xi, who was in the corner, listened to their conversation and seemed to be thinking about something.
"That is Huangfu Chen, right? Why don't you go to him?" Fire Phoenix asked softly.
"Let's see what Shui Yichen wants you to do first," Ming Xi said. He felt that Shui Yichen was too hostile towards the Jin Nation. Maybe he was using Huangfu Chen to do something bad.
Shang'er said, "Actually, they are right. Madam is back, but it has nothing to do with the statue."
"Don't eat too many plums. Your teeth can't take it." Ming Xi saw that she was still eating plums and couldn't help but remind her.
"No, it's delicious." Shang'er smiled.
"Foodie." Fire Phoenix snorted.
Shang'er looked at him in disdain. "You say it as if you didn't eat it."
Ming Xi saw that they were about to bicker again, so he frowned and said, "Stop it. They are leaving."
Huangfu Chen and Shui Yichen got on their horses and left. Ming Xi and the others continued to follow them. Shui Yichen looked back a few times, and his brows furrowed even more.
