Zhao Rao could not let go of her hatred. For the sake of her child, she might stop the war, but how long would she stop? Would she use other means to deal with the people around her? Ye Zhen could not marry and save a man who wanted to harm her.
Song Hongao pondered in his heart. He had no way to persuade Zhao Rao not to take revenge, so he could only ask her to stop the war temporarily.
"Five years." Song Hongao said, "Five years for Qi and Yuan …"
"Ten years, not only for Qi, but also for Jin. As for the others, do as you wish." Ye Zhen said lightly. Five years was too short. Ming Yu had not yet grown up. She would have to wait at least ten years for Ming Yu to be able to stand on her own.
She had never thought of protecting Ming Yu for the rest of her life. Although Ming Yu was her daughter, she had her own life. There were difficulties and setbacks that she had to face. No one's life was smooth sailing. Therefore, ten years was enough.
It was enough for Ming Yu to grow up, for Jin to become stronger, and for Zhao Rao to calm down.
Song Hongao frowned and pondered. He knew Lu Yaoyao's medical skills. Only she could save Zhao Rao's child, and Zhao Rao and Qi really needed time to recuperate.
"Well, I promise." Ye Zhen smiled. "What's the use of your promise? Of course, Zhao Rao has to agree."
"Madam Mo, she can't wait that long …" Song Hongao was afraid that the time he spent to persuade Zhao Rao would be too late to save her child.
Ye Zhen glanced at him. "Take this pill back. Zhao Rao has a day to think about it."
"Okay, I will persuade Zhao Rao." Song Hongao took the pill handed to him by Ye Zhen. In any case, he would persuade Zhao Rao.
"If Zhao Rao agrees, send the agreement letter directly, and I will naturally have someone send you the medicine." Ye Zhen said lightly. If Song Hongao came to her again, he would be thrown out directly by Mo Rongzhan.
Song Hongao said, "Good."
"Then I won't see you off." Ye Zhen said with a smile and watched Song Hongao leave the hall.
"Well, come out." When Song Hongao left, Ye Zhen snorted and called out Ming Xi, who was hiding in the corner.
Ming Xi walked out of the corner and said with a smile, "Mother, I just happened to pass by."
"Don't make excuses." Ye Zhen glared at him. "Did your father ask you to come?"
"Father didn't directly say anything." Mingxi said seriously.
Ye Rou glared at her son and brought him back to Mo Rongzhan to tell him the purpose of Song Honao's visit.
"… If Zhao Rao agrees, then we can leave. I believe that in these ten years, Murong Ke will definitely make the Jin Nation stronger, and Mingyu will be able to take charge of things on her own." Ye Zhen said to Mo Rongzhan. They had done everything they could for Ming Yu. Her life was still her own.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. If Zhao Rao really loved Cheng Zheng so much, she would do anything to protect the child. "Then what's Madam's next plan?"
"I …" Ye Zhen was a little hesitant. She wanted to find Ming Yu and take her to the sea, but she didn't know if Ming Yu would agree.
Ming Xi whispered, "Mother, Master is in China. Should we go look for him?"
Their original itinerary was to go to Hua Nation, where there were records of the other two continents. They really wanted to know if there were any gaps in the records.
"We still have to go to Tianjin City to prepare the ship. There's no hurry." Mo Rongzhan said faintly. If his daughter was willing to go to sea with them, it would naturally be the best thing.
"Well, let's solve the matter here first." Ye Zhen nodded. She still had to hand over the throne of Yuan Kingdom to Shui Yichen.
"Mother, why don't I go to Tianjin City with them first? Anyway, we have nothing to do here." Ming Xi looked at Ye Zhen expectantly. He knew that as long as his mother agreed, his father would certainly agree.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at her son. "Do you want to go to Tianjin City?"
"Can I?" Ming Xi looked at Ye Zhen expectantly.
"It's not impossible …" Ye Zhen looked at her son. Half of Ming Xi's life had been spent in another continent. She also hoped that he could be more familiar with his own place.
Ye Zhen's eyes lit up. "Mother!"
"Let's set off in two days. We'll talk about it when things are almost done here." Ye Zhen said, "And it's not easy to prepare a ship. I have to find someone to help you."
As long as he agreed to let them go to Tianjin City first.
Ming Xi immediately smiled and agreed. Then he found that Mo Rongzhan had not spoken. He stopped smiling and turned to look at him.
Ye Zhen sat beside Mo Rongzhan and quietly scratched the palm of his hand.
"Mmm." Mo Rongzhan nodded blankly.
Ming Xi grinned. The happy cheers of Little Rou and Fire Phoenix came faintly from outside.
… …
… …
Song Honao returned to Sha Jiucheng with the fetus pill Ye Zhen gave him. Zhao Rao felt a stomachache again. All the imperial doctors were trying to find a way to save the baby.
"Where is the Marquis of Zhen Country?" Zhao Xiang was anxious. She knew that Song Honao must have lost his mind to find a way, but it had been half a day. Why hadn't he come back yet?
"Marquis, he …" The palace maid was about to answer, but she hadn't seen him yet. Then, she saw Song Honao striding in from outside the courtyard. "Marquis is here."
Zhao Xiang hurried forward a few steps. "Marquis, His Majesty has been suffering from abdominal pain. I'm afraid … I'm afraid …"
"Give this pill to the emperor immediately." Song Honao had no time to explain and immediately handed the medicine from Ye Zhen to Zhao Xiang.
"This is …" Zhao Xiang looked at Song Honao suspiciously.
"I'll explain later. Hurry up!" Song Honao shouted.
Zhao Xiang didn't care so much. She hurriedly took the pill into the inner chamber and asked Zhao Rao to bring water.
"What is this?" Zhao Rao was sweating. Her face was as pale as death. She seemed to be able to feel her child leaving her body, little by little. No matter how hard she tried, it seemed that she could not save him.
For the first time, she felt regret. For revenge, she was too impulsive.
"The bleeding has stopped!" A female doctor cried. Even the imperial doctors outside exclaimed, "The fetus is temporarily stabilized."
Zhao Rao looked at Zhao Xiang in surprise.
"It's the medicine sent by Zhen Guohou." Zhao Xiang said.
"He left Sha Jiucheng …" Zhao Rao probably guessed where Song Honao's medicine came from. Her eyes were a little red. Even if she was unwilling, she still calmed herself down for the sake of her child.
Zhao Xiang said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to save the child."
"Well." Zhao Rao nodded gently. "I'm tired. Let Song Honao come to see me later."
She was exhausted and just wanted to have a good sleep.
"Good." Zhao Xiang dismissed all the imperial doctors in the room and asked the palace maid to come and wipe Zhao Rao's body so that she could sleep more comfortably.
