Both Ye Chunnan and Tang Zhen knew that these wanted posters were just for show, but they still showed some reluctance. When they were sent to the imperial study, they saluted Murong Ke.
"What about Yi and the others?" Murong Ke asked. He wanted to know if Yi and his family had returned safely.
"Your Majesty, the little prince sent the little princess and the child back to the palace to rest." Ye Chunnan said.
Murong Ke looked at Tang Zhen, "Did you encounter any danger on the way?"
Tang Zhen replied, "It was safe on the way. Cheng Zheng's death was a great blow to the State of Qi. They should be busy with the funeral now."
"Since I asked people to post the wanted posters, the imperial court has not been very peaceful. Now that you are back, I guess it will not be peaceful." Murong Ke's mouth floated a slight smile. In their eyes, it seemed that they were gloating.
"What do you mean?" Ye Chunnan was stunned. How could the imperial court not be peaceful?
Murong Ke smiled meaningfully, "There are many people who feel injustice for you."
"That can only prove that we are loyal to our duties. Your Majesty suddenly wants to withdraw the military power, so some people are afraid." Ye Chunnan said. For so many years, no matter in any aspect, he would not be criticized.
Tang Zhen frowned slightly, but he looked a little worried.
Murong Ke glanced at them, "I believe you, and naturally believe other people in the imperial court who are valued by me. If you can persuade Mo Rongzhan to come back, I will be even happier."
"Then Your Majesty should give up." Ye Chunnan said bluntly, "Maybe Yao Yao is already on the way to China."
"What?" Murong Ke's face changed, "Are they going to go to sea?"
They actually didn't mention it to him!
"I heard from Yao Yao that if the matters here are settled, they will make a trip to China." Even An Ge had left with her father, so it was only a matter of time before Yao Yao and the rest left.
"They won't leave just like that." Murong Ke came back to his senses and shook his head firmly, "If Yao Yao really wants to go to sea, she will come back and take Ming Yu with her."
Ye Chunnan nodded lightly. He almost forgot that Ming Yu was still here.
Just as they were talking, Ford's voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Lord Song wants to see you."
"Come in," Murong Ke said calmly.
Song Jiong strode in and bowed. Before Murong Ke could speak, he had already said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Rao from the State of Qi has sent a letter to you."
Did Zhao Rao send a letter?
Ye Chunnan and Tang Zhen exchanged a glance and looked at Murong Ke at the same time.
"Where's the letter?" Murong Ke appeared calm, as if he had already guessed that Zhao Kuang would send someone to deliver the letter.
The handwriting on the letter was elegant and beautiful. With one look, one could tell that it was written by a woman. When Murong Ke saw Zhao Rao's handwriting, he knew that it was not Zhao Rao's handwriting. It should have been written by someone else.
"Emperor, what did Zhao Rao say?" Ye Chunnan asked in a low voice.
Murong Ke's face darkened. "She wants the Jin Nation to hand over Yao Yao to avoid a war between the two nations."
"What?" Tang Zhen's face showed anger, feeling the malice of Zhao Rao's letter.
"If Cheng Zheng hadn't put Little Wangfei under house arrest, Yao Yao wouldn't have killed him. Cheng Zheng's death is his own fault." Tang Zhen said angrily, fearing that Murong Ke would really push Ye Zhen out.
Murong Ke did not speak, but silently handed the letter to Ye Chunnan.
Ye Chunnan took it and looked at it. His eyes became cold. "Zhao Rao is inverting black and white! She didn't mention Cheng Zheng's house arrest of Wangfei. Instead, she said that Yao Yao sneaked into the capital to assassinate Cheng Zheng.
"Naturally, she only said that she was right." Murong Ke said lightly, "This is not her sinister intention."
"This letter is just to make Yao Yao a person who will be condemned by the entire Jin Nation in the future." Tang Zhen said coldly. Zhao Rao did not directly declare war on the Jin Nation. Someone must be guiding her behind the scenes. If the Jin Nation does not hand over Yao Yao, what does she plan to do?
She will definitely do something that will make the Jin Nation's people resent Yao Yao for killing Cheng Zheng.
However, if Yao Yao is handed over, Zhao Rao will definitely kill her.
"I will not agree." Murong Ke said lightly. "Who sent the letter?"
"It's the messenger of the Qi Nation." Song Jiong replied.
Murong Ke said coldly, "Go back to them. Lu Yaoyao is our Princess and will not be easily handed over to the Qi Nation."
Song Jiong already knew Murong Ke's answer and was not surprised.
"Your Majesty, if you do this, the Jin Nation and the Qi Nation will definitely go to war." Ye Chunnan said in a low voice, "Zhao Rao must know that Yao Yao is no longer the Empress of the Jin Nation. If Your Majesty hands her over, it may cause some people to be dissatisfied. If you don't hand her over, there will also be people who will disagree. This dilemma will not be good for the Jin Nation."
"It is indeed a dilemma. But if the Jin Nation can't even protect Yao Yao, what's the point?" Murong Ke asked coldly.
Ye Chunnan said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't forget that in addition to being the Empress of the Jin Nation, Yao Yao is also the Heavenly Concubine of the Yuan Nation. She is not in the Jin Nation now. She is in the Yuan Nation. If Zhao Rao wants revenge, let her go to the Yuan Nation."
When Tang Zhen heard this, he angrily grabbed Ye Chunnan's clothes. "Do you know what you are talking about? Yao Yao is your sister. Do you want to see her die? "
"It's not that I don't want to see her die, but to choose a better way to deal with Zhao Rao." Ye Chunnan said, "This can at least delay time."
"There is no need to delay time. If there is a war, I can lead the troops to fight." Tang Zhen said.
Ye Chunnan said helplessly, "If there is a war, you don't need to go to the battlefield. Yao Yao is my sister. I want to protect her."
Murong Ke looked at Ye Chunnan deeply. "Is this Yao Yao's idea?"
"Yes." Ye Chunnan turned to look at Murong Ke. "Yao Yao will find a way to avoid war."
"… That letter?" Tang Zhen remembered that Yao Yao asked Lin Zhiran to send a letter to Ye Chunnan. Did she already know that Zhao Rao would do this?
Murong Ke said lightly, "The world is not unified. War is certainly inevitable."
"Yao Yao said that this is her personal grudge. She doesn't want to involve the Jin Nation, and she doesn't want others to sacrifice for her." Ye Chunnan said.
Tang Zhen had to say, "Then listen to Yao Yao."
Murong Ke looked at Ye Chunnan. "What does Yao Yao want to do?"
"I don't know. You also know that Yao Yao always has her own ideas." Ye Chunnan said helplessly, "The Qi Nation should not go to war at this time. Cheng Zheng is dead. Who can replace him? Besides, Zhao Rao's position is not necessarily stable."
Zhao Rao originally took her brother's throne. Now that her big backer is gone, who knows if the ministers of the Qi Nation will still listen to her?
Let's just wait and see.
"Then do as Yao Yao says." Murong Ke said.
