He couldn't find Yao Yao!
Mo Rongzhan held the secret report sent by Shen Yi in his hand. His mood was heavier than before. He had never regretted it so much. That day in the Gu Family Village, he shouldn't have agreed to let the little girl go to Huaijiang City. Instead, he should have taken her directly back to the capital and immediately married her into the palace. Whether she was willing or not, he could at least see her every day. (Dahui)
Where on earth would she go?
"Your Majesty, Consort Xu Xian is outside asking to see you." Fu De walked in quietly and whispered to Mo Rongzhan after saluting.
"Let her go back." Mo Rongzhan said coldly. Even if he didn't see Xu Huiru, he knew what she was here for. "I haven't abolished her title of Consort yet, but she can't bear it."
He asked Tang Zhen to investigate the Governor of Huainan's embezzlement of the disaster silver and medicinal materials. The Governor of Huainan used to be Ye Yisong's man. Not only did he lie about the disaster every year, but he also took all the disaster silver and medicinal materials sent by the court to Huaijiang City as his own. The disaster silver had been found, but the medicinal materials were missing. For so many years, the medicinal materials sent by the court to Huainan were worth a lot of money. But who could transport these medicinal materials without anyone knowing?
He believed that no medicinal materials merchant in Jin Country dared to do such a thing.
Many of Huainan's officials had been arrested, and even Xu Ji was locked up in prison. Unlike Huainan's Governor, Xu Ji was charged with disrespecting the princess and plotting to harm the princess. Even Prime Minister Xu didn't dare to plead for leniency. ()
Fu De agreed in a low voice, bowed his head, and left. These days, he had been very careful in front of the Emperor, for fear that he would say something wrong and make the Emperor unhappy. Since the news of the Princess' disappearance came, he had not seen the Emperor smile. Even Ye Yaoyao, who he thought would replace the Princess and become the Emperor's new favorite, had been sent out of the palace.
Alas, it's really an eventful time. Where are you, Your Highness? Come back quickly.
Xu Huiru heard that the Emperor refused to see her outside the Imperial Study, so she directly knelt down and threatened that if the Emperor refused to see her, she would kneel.
Tang Zhen just came from behind her. When he heard Xu Huiru's words, he slowed down.
"It's you!" As soon as Xu Huiru saw Tang Zhen, she immediately stood up. "Tang Zhen, you caught my brother and slandered him for hurting Lu Yaoyao, didn't you?"
"Consort Xu Xian, this Marquis doesn't have the ability to slander someone so easily. Consort Xu Xian's younger brother is more capable and can easily order the princess to be burned to death." Tang Zhen said coldly. If it weren't for Prime Minister Xu's protection, he would have killed Xu Ji in prison. The emperor only spared Xu Ji's life because of Prime Minister Xu's face. This Xu Huiru thought that she could plead for Xu Ji. If it weren't for her, how would Xu Ji know about Ye Yaoyao?
Xu Huiru hated Ye Zhen in her heart. Not only did she not die, but she also implicated her brother. She had better die outside. Otherwise, when she returned to the capital, the Xu family would certainly not let her go. "My brother is not such a person. Tang Zhen, you slandered Xu Ji because you were in love with the princess!"
Listening to Xu Huiru's deliberately amplified voice, Tang Zhen just smiled contemptuously. For her, who was already unable to protect herself, he didn't bother to say anything. ()
Tang Zhen turned and entered the imperial study. Fu De looked at Xu Huiru and shook his head and sighed. "Your Highness, you'd better go back."
Xu Huiru looked at Tang Zhen's back with hatred. As long as she regained the emperor's favor in the future, she must make Tang Zhen pay the price.
Although Mo Rongzhan heard the conversation outside the imperial study, he didn't take it to heart. What Xu Huiru said now was not worthy of his attention. He glanced at Tang Zhen, "Have you found out the whereabouts of the medicinal materials?"
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness once mentioned Jinkou City, so I started to investigate from Jinkou City. I'm afraid that the medicinal materials sent by the imperial court to Huaijiang City have been transported overseas since a few years ago." Tang Zhen said.
"Overseas?" Mo Rongzhan's eyes sank slightly. "Is it related to Zhao Tianji?"
A few days ago, Mo Rongzhan asked about Zhao Tianji's identity from the people he brought back from the private mine. He was just the owner of a small island. Why did he need to make so many weapons? If the medicinal materials were sold to Zhao Jiadao, then he had to doubt Zhao Tianji's real purpose.
Tang Zhen whispered, "This subject is not sure, but someone found that Zhao Tianji had appeared in Huaijiang City."
Mo Rongzhan suddenly raised his head. "Zhao Tianji went to Huaijiang City?"
"Yes." Tang Zhen replied, "Your Majesty, will Zhao Tianji take the princess to Zhao Island?"
"I will send someone to find it," Mo Rongzhan said coldly. Said Mo Rongzhan in an icy voice. If Zhao Tianji really captured Yaoyao and brought her to the Zhao clan island, he would definitely flatten the entire island and make Zhao Tianji pay the price.
Tang Zhen wanted to go to Zhao Island in person, but the emperor didn't give an order. How could he dare to ask?
"Hasn't Lu Lingzhi come back yet?" Mo Rongzhan suddenly asked.
More than a month ago, Lu Lingzhi left the capital for treatment. There was no news of him so far. It was said that he had been to Huaijiang City, but then he disappeared. No one knew if he could find the antidote for the seven-day pain.
Tang Zhen frowned slightly. "Your Majesty, this subject just went to the Lu family yesterday to inquire, and there was no news of the Marquis of Anyang."
Mo Rongzhan nodded slightly. "The new Emperor of Dongqing has ascended the throne, and it is impossible for them to go to war with the Jin within two years. What do you think of the current situation in Bian City?"
A few months ago, the war between Jin and Dongqing was still on the verge of breaking out. No one expected that the Crown Prince of Dongqing, who had been suppressed for many years, would suddenly become so powerful. Not only did he regain the trust of the Emperor of Dongqing, but he also brought down Imperial Concubine Wan, who had been favored for many years. Imperial Concubine Wan was in a life-and-death struggle to allow her son to usurp the throne. Instead, the Crown Prince had a handle on her. Imperial Concubine Wan and her son suffered and died, and the Crown Prince, who had almost been deposed, successfully ascended the throne.
This incident shocked the whole world. No matter who it was, no one could remember what kind of ability the useless Crown Prince had. It was said that he had a strategist who was more intelligent than Zhuge Liang by his side. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to overthrow Imperial Concubine Wan and her son so quickly.
Tang Zhen glanced at Mo Rongzhan and said in a low voice, "I believe that it is the best policy for the Jin Nation to be on good terms with the Dongqing Nation."
Currently, Dongqing did not have the power to wage war with the Jin Kingdom. Could the Jin Kingdom conquer Dongqing in one fell swoop? It was better to be on good terms with each other and recuperate, so as not to give the other two an opportunity to take advantage.
Mo Rongzhan nodded slightly. He also thought so. "The Emperor of Dongqing has already sent a letter of peace. If I agree that the two countries will not go to war within ten years, they will send an envoy."
"Then what does the Emperor mean?" Tang Zhen looked up at Mo Rongzhan.
"I agree," Mo Rongzhan said lightly. He did have the ambition to conquer the world, but this was not the time.
