Qi Kingdom, Imperial Palace.
Zhao Rao put down the letter in her hand. A satisfied smile finally appeared on her fair and pretty face. Her gloominess had been swept away. Song Honao had finally sent out his troops. She had originally planned to send another general to replace him.
"Mother." The little prince felt the change in Zhao Rao's mood. A smile that hadn't appeared in a long time appeared on his face. He called out carefully.
"Mm." Zhao Rao rubbed her son's head. "What is it? Is it too stuffy here? "
The little prince shook his head. He had just learned how to speak and didn't know how to express his thoughts. He only knew that his mother didn't look so scary today. Yesterday, he didn't even dare look at her.
Zhao Rao picked him up. "Mother will accompany you to play in the Imperial Garden."
"Okay." The little prince happily showed his grainy teeth. His eyes crinkled. "Auntie Xiang …"
They had just walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity when they saw Zhao Xiang. The little prince happily broke free of Zhao Rao's hand and ran towards her with his short legs.
Zhao Rao smiled. "He is closer to you."
"His Majesty is the little prince's mother. You are closest to him." Zhao Xiang walked over with the little prince in her arms. "You seem to be in a good mood today."
"Song Honao has sent out his troops." Zhao Rao smiled. She walked towards the Imperial Garden with Zhao Xiang. "And the person who will lead the troops from the Qi Kingdom is someone you will never expect."
Zhao Xiang looked at Zhao Rao in confusion. The news of Qian Danqing's disappearance had already reached the Qi Kingdom. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have asked Song Honao to send out his troops. The Ning Kingdom should have no generals. Who would Mo Mingyu send out?
"Who else? Besides Qian Danqing, there is no one in the Ning Kingdom who can fight against Song Honao. Even those who remain in the Ning Kingdom are just some inexperienced deputy generals, "Zhao Xiang said. Although she didn't know the Ning Kingdom very well, she knew the general situation.
Zhao Rao smiled. "You are right. So, the one leading the troops this time is Mo Mingxi."
"Who?" Zhao Xiang froze. "Lu Yaoyao's son?"
"Yes, him." Zhao Rao said with a smile, "Lu Yaoyao is really relieved that a half-grown child is going to lead an army into battle."
Zhao Rao was beaming from ear to ear. It was as if she could already see the great victory in Shuizhou. When Song Honao captured the Mo siblings, she would finally be able to vent the hatred in her heart.
"Really …" Zhao Xiang was so surprised that she didn't know what to say. Song Honao was a general who had followed the former emperor to conquer the South and the North. His battlefield experience was not something that anyone could compare to. How old was Mo Mingxi? Not to mention that he had never fought in a war, his martial arts skills were not as good as Song Honao's.
"Isn't that even better? Don't waste time, "Zhao Rao said with a smile.
Zhao Xiang said, "I'm a little worried. Mo Mingxi doesn't seem to be that simple."
"No matter how extraordinary he is, he's still just a teenager." Zhao Rao didn't like hearing this. She was looking forward to Song Honao bringing Mo Mingxi back.
"Kite …" The little prince pointed at the little bird in the sky and called out in a clear and melodious voice.
Zhao Xiang smiled and said, "That's a little bird."
The little prince pouted. "It's a kite."
"I'll get someone to bring the kite over." Zhao Rao held her son's hand, the ruthlessness in her eyes replaced by tenderness.
Zhao Xiang looked at her. Every time someone or something related to Lu Yaoyao was mentioned, Zhao Rao would sink into uncontrollable hatred. Her expression would sometimes become ferocious and scary, especially recently. It had been a long time since she had seen her smile so gently.
It would be good if they could really capture Mo Mingxi, but they were afraid that …
The little prince was taken by the palace servants to fly the kite. Zhao Rao and Zhao Xiang stood at the side and watched.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Xiang said softly.
"Hmm?" Zhao Rao was in a good mood and kept a smile on her face.
Zhao Xiang couldn't bear to say anything that troubled her. She hoped that Zhao Rao could keep smiling. "Other than the capital, there have been demonic beasts in other places. I heard that there are even in the military camp."
"Military camp?" Zhao Rao's smile froze. She had forgotten that there was a greater unknown danger in the Qi Kingdom. Not long ago, there was news from various places that there were ferocious beasts. From the portraits, she felt that they didn't look like ferocious beasts, but more like monsters.
"Yes, there's more than one. There was a demonic beast that caused trouble in the military camp but was stopped by another. It seems that General Song saved that demonic beast." Zhao Xiang said.
Zhao Rao smiled. "It seems that demonic beasts are also humane and know how to repay kindness."
"Your Majesty …" Zhao Xiang frowned. This wasn't what she wanted to say.
"I know what you want to say." Zhao Rao said indifferently and turned to walk to the other side. "The appearance of the demonic beast was an accident. Didn't it disappear now? As long as they don't harm the people. "
Zhao Xiang frowned. "I don't think it was an accident. What if it appears again?"
"Kill." Zhao Rao's eyes flashed with killing intent. "Demonic beasts are beasts after all. They can't be our opponents."
If only it was that simple. Although Zhao Xiang hadn't seen the demonic beasts with her own eyes, she felt that they weren't ordinary animals.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, we have to maintain our strength." Zhao Xiang vaguely reminded. She hoped that Zhao Rao wouldn't use all the strength of the country for revenge. It wasn't easy for their treasury to be filled.
Zhao Rao looked at her. "Do you think that I will be like before and not care about anything for revenge?"
"No, I don't dare to think like that." Zhao Xiang said.
"Even if I want to do that, I still have my son." Zhao Rao looked at her son not far away. How could she give her son a broken Qi Country in the future?
For her son, she wouldn't do what she did before.
Hearing Zhao Rao's words, Zhao Xiang was slightly relieved. At least she had some worries in her heart.
"Oh right, did you find out where Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao are?" Zhao Rao asked. Their daughter had just become the Heavenly Concubine of the Ning Country. They weren't in the Ning Country and no one knew where they went or what schemes they were up to.
Zhao Xiang said. "I've already sent people to find out. There should be news soon."
"En." Zhao Rao nodded. She hadn't seen Lu Yaoyao in a long time. If she saw her again, she wanted to see the pained expression on her face.
"Mother, mother, it's flying." The little prince shouted happily. The kite had already flown into the sky.
Zhao Rao revealed a gentle smile.
At this moment, a shadow appeared on the ground. It was unknown when a giant eagle had flown over. Everyone was stunned.
"Giant bird …" The little prince pointed at the giant eagle and shouted.
Zhao Rao's expression changed. "Son!"
The giant eagle descended from the sky, carrying the little prince in its mouth.
"No!" Zhao Rao let out a sharp cry. "Quickly save the little prince!"
