Mo Rongzhan's mood at this time, in addition to anger, was uneasiness that could not be ignored. He waited for Ye Zhen to come back in the palace with joy and expectation. She had always wanted to be pregnant, and now she might get what she wanted. He knew that she would definitely be happy. He also looked forward to having a daughter as delicate as her. However, before she returned, the secret guard brought the news that she was taken away by the Witch King of Western Liang.
The Witch King of Western Liang! Qi Ruoshui!
He knew that Ye Zhen suspected Qi Ruoshui, so he sent secret guards to investigate and follow her. He knew that she was suspicious, but he did not think that Qi Ruoshui would be the Witch King. At most, he was just a person in the priest hall. With Xue Lin and the others watching, there would certainly be no problem.
"Where is Qi Jin?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice. Who would have thought that Qi Ruoshui was actually the Witch King, and the people around him could actually seriously injure Xue Lin and Wu Chong?
Shen Yi whispered, "Your Majesty, Doctor Qi's grandson is missing. Doctor Qi was drugged and has not woken up yet."
Qi Zixi was Qi Ruoshui's son. He disappeared at this time. There was no doubt that he must have been taken away.
"Shen Yi, take people to search in the capital. Even if you have to dig three feet underground, you must find their people. I will take people out of the city to find them." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice. Since Qi Ruoshui dared to attack Ye Zhen, he must have arranged everything. How many people in the capital were arranged by the priest hall?
Mo Rongzhan asked the imperial guards to follow him out of the city. If Qi Ruoshui left the capital when he set fire to the inn, he would definitely be able to catch up. He could not let Yao Yao be taken away. If she was taken to Western Liang …
If she met Lu Lingzhi … Mo Rongzhan dared not imagine the consequences.
"Your Majesty, I have been keeping an eye on Ye Yaoyao. If Qi Ruoshui left, he may take her with him." Shen Yi hurriedly said to Mo Rongzhan.
"Lead the way!" Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
Ye Yaoyao lived in the suburbs. As soon as Mo Rongzhan left the city, a secret guard came to report that Ye Yaoyao was taken away this morning. The other party seemed to have discovered their existence, so only an undiscovered secret guard was left to follow them.
"Your Majesty, the secret guard will leave marks along the way. Ye Yaoyao must have been taken away by those people. Follow them, and maybe we can find the Empress."
Mo Rongzhan nodded and ordered them to continue searching for the secret signal.
The city gates were sealed, and the Imperial Guards were everywhere. Nothing like this had happened since the new Emperor ascended the throne. Not only did the people of the capital feel insecure, but they also thought that something big had happened. Mo Rongzhan originally wanted to suppress the news that Ye Zhen had been captured by the Witch King. However, in less than four hours, Qi Ruoshui himself spread the news throughout the capital.
The Jin Empress had been invited to the Priest's Hall of Western Liang as a guest. As the Master of the Priest's Hall, she would definitely take good care of the Jin Empress and the future little prince in her womb.
Qi Ruoshui unscrupulously hung the news of him taking away Ye Zhen on the city wall. When the general of the city received it, he hurriedly sent it to the palace. The court was shocked.
Mo Rongzhan chased Qi Ruoshui for hundreds of miles outside the city, but he did not find any trace of Qi Ruoshui, let alone Ye Zhen. Before he returned to the capital, he already knew about Qi Ruoshui's provocation.
That's right, Qi Ruoshui's unscrupulous act of sticking a note on the city wall to take Ye Zhen away was, in Mo Rongzhan's view, a provocation and ridicule.
"Your Majesty …" Shen Yi looked at Mo Rongzhan, who hadn't spoken for a long time and didn't even have a trace of expression on his face.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes were filled with a biting cold murderous aura. "Return to the palace."
Since Qi Ruoshui provoked him so much and pointed out the news of Ye Zhen's pregnancy, he would certainly not hurt her so quickly. 7k～～
"We have blocked the city gate and searched for them for a hundred miles around. Could it be that the Witch King can fly in the sky and burrow into the ground? How could he not find them?" Shen Yi said doubtfully. According to Xue Lin, the Empress should have been taken away not long ago.
Mo Rongzhan's handsome face was covered with a layer of frost. The murderous aura in his eyes made people shudder. He looked ahead calmly. "They won't go too far. Capturing the Empress was their plan a long time ago. They must have thought of a hiding place. Shen Yi, take some people from the capital and search carefully within a hundred miles!"
Shen Yi was clear about the position of the Empress in the Emperor's mind, not to mention that the Empress was now pregnant. "This subordinate will definitely find the Empress."
Back in the palace, Eunuch Fu immediately handed the note sent by the garrison general to Mo Rongzhan.
Looking down at the handwriting, Mo Rongzhan's thin lips were tightly pursed, and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly prominent.
"Your Majesty …" Eunuch Fu called out cautiously, "Master Xu requests an audience."
"Let him in." Mo Rongzhan crumpled the note and threw it on the table. Xu Lao entering the palace at this time must have something to do with Yao Yao's capture.
Thinking that he had not had time to share the joy of pregnancy with Yao Yao … Mo Rongzhan's heart ached when he thought of Ye Zhen.
In his lifetime, he must flatten the Priest Hall!
"This subject pays respect to the Emperor." Xu Lao came in and saw Mo Rongzhan's gloomy face. He lowered his eyes slightly and bowed.
Mo Rongzhan looked up at him slightly. "What's the matter, Prime Minister Xu?"
"Your Majesty, this subject heard about the Empress. I heard that the Witch King of Xiliang is the daughter of Doctor Qi." Xu Lao whispered.
"Yes." Mo Rongzhan nodded faintly. He didn't think that Xu Lao entered the palace just to confirm Qi Ruoshui's identity. He waited for him to continue.
Xu Lao frowned and was silent for a moment. "Your Majesty, this subject met Qi Ruoshui a few years ago."
Mo Rongzhan suddenly looked up. "Qi Ruoshui looked for you?"
"A few years ago, this subject went to Yunfu Mountain to visit Buddha and met her there." Xu Lao whispered. "At that time, this subject just thought that she had extraordinary knowledge. Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that something is wrong."
"What did she say?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
Qi Ruoshui said at that time that the world was originally unified. It was the Huangfu Dynasty that divided the world into five parts and sought stability in chaos. However, it was not a real prosperous era. The people who could really command the world were still the people of the Huangfu Dynasty.
Because it had been too long, Xu Lao couldn't remember it clearly, but he still remembered the general meaning.
Mo Rongzhan frowned after listening. "Prime Minister Xu, do you mean that Qi Ruoshui did so much for the Huangfu Family?"
The Huangfu Dynasty had ceased to exist more than a hundred years ago. Did Qi Ruoshui naively think that she could bring Jing Guo back with her power?
"This subject feels that … maybe Qi Ruoshui will do more." Elder Xu said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Priest Hall isn't something to be afraid of, but after so many years, no one has seen the rumored secluded place, and no one knows where those loyal and devoted descendants of the Huangfu Dynasty went after they disappeared."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. "This is the reason why Qi Ruoshui captured Huangfu Chen."
