In the evening, when Mo Rongzhan returned, he saw his empress staring at the table with a sad face. She didn't even notice that he had come in.
"Your Majesty." Hong Ying and Dai Mei were shocked to see him and turned to remind Ye Zhen.
"You can leave." Mo Rongzhan waved his hand and walked lightly to Ye Zhen's side. He was about to speak when he looked down and saw the note on the table.
At a glance, he could tell that it was Huangfu Chen's handwriting.
"Is this Huangfu Chen's handwriting?" Mo Rongzhan could tell at a glance who wrote the note on the table. He asked in surprise, "Have you found him?"
Ye Zhen heard his voice and turned around, "When did you come?"
"I just came over and saw you in a daze. What is this?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice, his eyes looking at the note on the table.
Ye Zhen whispered, "Shen Yi just sent it. He was found in the Kingdom of Qi. When we looked for him, he was gone, leaving only this note."
Mo Rongzhan took the note in his hand and looked at it carefully. "This is indeed Huangfu Chen's handwriting. He was taken away by the Witch King."
Ye Zhen whispered, "But, what does the word 'Qi' mean?"
"The Kingdom of Qi, surnamed Qi?" Mo Rongzhan frowned and pondered, "What do you think?"
"I just can't figure it out. Being caught in the Kingdom of Qi doesn't necessarily mean that he is from the Kingdom of Qi, but if it is a surname, who does it refer to?" Ye Zhen asked. "I just can't figure it out."
Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, "There are many people with the surname Qi in this world. Huangfu Chen's mother's family is also surnamed Qi, but the Qi family now only has Qi Jin."
Ye Zhen sighed, "So I thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure out what it means. I have a headache thinking about it."
"Don't think about it if you can't figure it out." Mo Rongzhan put away the note. "I will let people continue to look for Huangfu Chen. No matter who took him away, I will find him."
"Hmm." Ye Zhen rubbed her eyebrows. She was dizzy from thinking about it, but she still couldn't figure it out. Maybe she could figure out the meaning of Huangfu Chen's words.
"How is my brother?" Ye Zhen stopped thinking about Huang Fuchen. Apart from that, she was also worried about the Wilderness.
Mo Rongzhan put his arm around her waist and walked towards the hot kang bed. He held her slightly cold hand and warmed it in his palm, "The general of Xiliang has always been the weakest when it comes to arranging troops. Now that the troops are flexible, it's mostly because of Lu Lingzhi …"
"Brother is not as insidious as Lu Lingzhi. Will he be schemed against?" Ye Zhen asked worriedly.
"Do you look down on your brother?" Mo Rongzhan asked amusedly. Ye Chunnan had been through hundreds of battles. If she didn't have any schemes, how could she have lived until now? In this little girl's mind, could it be that Ye Chunnan was still a playboy who only knew how to flirt?
Ye Zhen said, "It's not that I look down on my brother, but Lu Lingzhi …" She frowned and didn't like to recall the past. "When I got along with him before, I only felt that he was a gentle young master. Later, I learned that he was full of schemes and tricks. If I hadn't been blessed by heaven, I wouldn't have known that he had started to scheme against me a few years ago."
Mo Rongzhan didn't want her to recall the past. He held her in his arms. "Your brother was brought up by Lord Ye. You should trust him."
Ye Yiqing was an old fox. How could Ye Chunnan be a little white rabbit?
"That's true." Ye Zhen laughed. "But I can't help but worry."
Mo Rongzhan said, "I have asked Tang Zhen to bring five thousand elite troops to support him. Tang Zhen knows Lu Lingzhi's way of marching the troops best. With him in the Wilderness, your brother will be like a tiger with wings."
"What do you think Lu Lingzhi wants to do?" The more Ye Zhen thought about it, the more she couldn't understand. "They know that the Western Liang will not be a match for the Jin Kingdom, and they will not join forces with the Northern Dark Kingdom. Do they still think that they can defeat the Jin Kingdom by themselves?"
"What they want to do is not clear yet. Perhaps, we will know soon." Mo Rongzhan said.
Ye Zhen sighed softly in his arms.

… …
The next day, Xue Lin entered the palace to report to Ye Zhen. Although the Qi family was in the capital, it was not easy to trace the past of the Qi family. It took him a whole night to find out.
"… The Qi family was originally a big family in the capital. From a hundred years ago, there were three empresses. When the HuangFu family went into seclusion, the head of the Qi family also left with his clansmen, leaving only Doctor Qi and his family. Doctor Qi studied at the Women's College for three years and then left the capital for twenty years. Twenty-five years ago, Doctor Qi returned to the capital with his newborn daughter. Gradually, there was news of the Qi family. It was then that the HuangFu family could vaguely inquire about the news. However, Doctor Qi never mentioned his clansmen. So far, no one knows where they went." Xue Lin whispered.
"You don't know where he is? Did the Qi family go into seclusion with the HuangFu family? " Ye Zhen frowned. She felt that this was very likely. The HuangFu family and the Qi family had long been connected by fate. Since the HuangFu took the initiative to give up the title of the royal family at that time, as the most loyal member of the Qi family, even if he stayed, he would not be put in an important position. It was better to go into seclusion together.
But why did Qi Jin come back?
"Did you find out why Doctor Qi returned to the capital at that time?" Ye Zhen asked again.
Xue Lin said, "There has been no news of the Qi family for so many years. They should be hiding somewhere. As for Doctor Qi … this subordinate can't figure it out. I only know that she gave birth to a child not long after she arrived in the capital."
Ye Zhen asked doubtfully, "Who did Doctor Qi marry?"
"This subordinate … did not find out." Xue Lin said.
"I remember that Medical Officer Qi is still living in the capital with her grandson. I never knew who her husband was …" Ye Zhen suddenly felt that there were many doubts about Qi Jin. She couldn't figure it out for a while.
Xue Lin said, "Your Highness, do you want this subordinate to continue to investigate?"
"Go and check …" Ye Zhen's voice was a little weak. She did not want to doubt Qi Jin. It was impossible! But … her heart was still shaken.
If it was related to the Qi family, Ye Zhen's dispatch of troops to the wilderness this time was really not so simple.
"Your Highness, this is the silk grass you asked for." Hong Ying came in from outside and handed the silk grass in her hand to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. She wanted to conduct a divination for Huangfu Chen. His whereabouts were unknown, and it was difficult to know whether he was alive or dead. She had no other way but to ask whether he was safe or not.
"Your Highness, don't you want to see Doctor Qi? Do you want someone to pass the message to Chengde Villa? "Hong Ying asked.
"No, when Doctor Qi comes back, I will see her again."
