Mo Rongzhan's handsome face was cold and indifferent. Listening to Shen Yi's report of what happened outside the palace, his eyes grew colder and colder. "Is the Empress injured?"
Shen Yi replied, "Your Majesty, Her Ladyship is safe and sound, but she has not returned to the palace."
"Where is Wanyan Xi?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice. He had an impulse to grab Ye Zhen and beat her up. She was almost in danger, but she still didn't return to the palace. How much did she dislike being in the palace?
"I have placed him in the Overwatch Council. Should I bring him to the palace?" Shen Yi asked.
Mo Rongzhan said, "Go and call him here."
Shen Yi looked up at Mo Rongzhan. "Your Majesty, I have also caught two assassins from Qian Luocha. One of them is the woman you saw in the mountains that day."
"Who?" Mo Rongzhan looked up at Shen Yi.
"Qianxue." Shen Yi lowered his head.
Mo Rongzhan's expression suddenly became stern. "Give her to Eunuch Fu. Arrange for her to stay in her original residence."
Shen Yi was surprised. It seemed that this Qianxue was really special to the Emperor. "Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, Wanyan Xi was invited to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. This was the first time he had seen the palace of the Jin Kingdom. Before seeing the capital, he had thought that the palace of Xiliang was luxurious enough. Only now did he realize that the palace of Xiliang was inferior to a temporary imperial residence.
The palace of the Jin Kingdom was truly magnificent. Apart from the State of Qi, which other country could compare to it?
"First Prince, please." Eunuch Fu bowed to Wanyan Xi at the door and invited him into the imperial study.
Wanyan Xi entered the study and saw Mo Rongzhan sitting behind the desk. He bowed with his hands in front of his chest. "Your Majesty."
"First Prince, please sit." Mo Rongzhan motioned for Wanyan Xi to sit. "I had someone bring you to the capital because I have something to tell you."
"Is it news from Xiliang?" Wanyan Xi's expression turned serious.
Mo Rongzhan threw a letter on the table into his hands. "This is a letter from your Prince."
Wanyan Xi knew what the letter said without even reading it. "I was saved by the Emperor for less than a month, but Xiliang has already received the news."
"What do you think I will do?" Mo Rongzhan asked calmly.
"The Emperor will not hand me over to Xiliang." Wanyan Xi smiled. If Mo Rongzhan did not intend to help him, he would not have brought him to the capital.
Mo Rongzhan's thin lips curled into a cold smile. "How do you know that I won't hand you over?"
Wanyan Xi smiled. "If you had handed me over, the Emperor wouldn't have waited until now. But I'm curious, what does the Emperor want from me?"
"Xi Liang," Mo Rongzhan said straightforwardly. He did not hide his ambition towards Xi Liang.
"The Emperor seems to think that he will definitely obtain Western Liang." Wanyan Xi smiled. He was surprised that he wasn't angry when he heard this. It was probably because even if it wasn't Mo Rongzhan, Western Liang wasn't his. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to topple the Shaman King.
Mo Rongzhan said, "You don't have to worry about this. This Emperor is just telling you in advance so that it won't look good in the future."
Wanyan Xi smiled and said, "I don't have the ability to become enemies with the Jin or Western Liang. If you have the ability to conquer Western Liang, what can I do?"
"As long as the First Prince says so." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile, "You are a distinguished guest of our Jin Kingdom. Enjoy our hospitality in the capital."
After talking with Wanyan Xi, Mo Rongzhan asked Eunuch Fu to bring Qianxue over.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has returned to the palace." Eunuch Fu reminded him carefully. He had served Mo Rongzhan since he was a child and naturally knew about Qianxue. Originally, he thought that Qianxue would become the Emperor's concubine. He didn't expect that when he saw her again, she would become a killer.
Mo Rongzhan frowned. "I will go to the harem later. Bring Qianxue here first."
He didn't place Qianxue in the Overwatch Council because of their past friendship. At the same time, he didn't want Ye Zhen to know about Qianxue's relationship with Murong Ke.
If Murong Ke was the Pavilion Master of Qian Luocha, then the order to kill Ye Zhen had something to do with him. Before the matter came to light, he felt that it was better not to let Ye Zhen know about it for the time being. What's more, he felt that there was no need to let Ye Zhen know about Qianxue's identity.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Fu bowed his head and answered.
Mo Rongzhan thought for a moment. "Don't let the Empress know that Qianxue is in the palace."
Eunuch Fu was slightly shocked. "Yes, Your Majesty."
He left the Palace of Heavenly Purity and personally brought Qianxue over.
Qianxue was full of doubts when she was brought into the palace, especially when she was locked in the house she used to live in. Long-lost memories came to her mind, and that feeling made her feel even more bitter.
She was fed medicine by Shen Yi. Now she couldn't even knock out the palace maid outside the door. She was afraid that it would be even more difficult to escape from the palace.
"Miss Qianxue, long time no see." Eunuch Fu opened the door and saw Qianxue, who was more mature and beautiful than ten years ago. He remembered the once young and lonely emperor. There was a reason why the emperor treated Qianxue differently. At that time, if it weren't for Qianxue, the emperor's life in the palace would have been even more difficult.
"Fuzi." Qianxue's indifferent face showed a faint smile. She looked at Eunuch Fu. "Now I'm afraid I have to call you Steward Fu."
Eunuch Fu smiled. "Miss Qianxue, don't say that. We are all old acquaintances."
Qianxue laughed at herself. "Yes, old acquaintances."
"The emperor wants to see you." Eunuch Fu sighed in his heart. He always thought that Qianxue should be living a peaceful and stable life outside the palace. He didn't expect that she would become a killer.
"Okay." A trace of nervousness flashed in Qianxue's eyes. In her memory, Mo Rongzhan had always been that cold and lonely youth. Last time she saw him in the mountains, she realized that the youth had grown up and become the Jin Emperor who controlled the world. The youth was already a man.
He didn't want to see her to reminisce about the past.
Eunuch Fu had many questions to ask, but he looked at Qianxue and didn't ask in the end. "Please come with us."
Qianxue nodded lightly and followed behind Eunuch Fu.
"I heard that the emperor dotes on the empress very much?" Qianxue suddenly asked.
Eunuch Fu looked back at her. "Yes."
A trace of complex emotions appeared in Qianxue's eyes. Even someone as cold and emotionless as Mo Rongzhan could be moved, let alone Karma.
"Miss Qianxue, we have arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Please come in," Eunuch Fu said in a low voice and led Qianxue into the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Okay." When Qianxue looked up again, there was only coldness in her eyes. She thought that she would never see him again in this life. She didn't expect that they would finally meet.
She also didn't expect that it would be the same way as last time in the mountains.
