If it weren't for her pulse getting clearer and clearer, Ye Zhen would have suspected that she was not actually pregnant. Along the way, she felt no discomfort at all. In fact, her appetite was even better. She could even eat a disgusting person like Lu Lingzhi.
When she was near the border of Jin Kingdom, she finally saw Qi Ruoshui.
"Your Majesty, it seems that you have had a good time these days. Your face is still very ruddy." Qi Ruoshui had completely lost her previous disguise in the capital. She looked powerful, and her seductive eyes seemed to always carry a touch of danger that made people dare not look directly at her.
Ye Zhen looked at her faintly. "That's thanks to the Witch King's hospitality."
Qi Ruoshui smiled and said, "You are a distinguished guest of the Priest Palace. Naturally, I can't let you be wronged."
"The Witch King is very polite. I have never seen such an invitation." Ye Zhen smiled coldly. "In front of us is the border of the Wasteland. Is the Witch King going to take me through there to Xiliang?"
"I wanted to go through the Sand City, but I think the Wasteland is more suitable. After all, no one is more familiar with every road in the Wasteland than Lu Lingzhi." Qi Ruoshui said with a smile, "Empress, you can rest assured that as long as you are obedient, I will not hurt you and will let you and your son return to the capital safely."
"Mother and son are safe!" Lu Lingzhi blurted out, looking at Ye Zhen in shock.
Qi Ruoshui laughed. "You have been with her for so many days, yet you don't know that she is pregnant?"
Lu Lingzhi's face turned pale. He felt as if a piece of flesh had been dug out of his heart. He really didn't know that she was already pregnant with Mo Rongzhan's child.
"Yao Yao …" Lu Lingzhi's face was full of bitterness. Although he was uncomfortable, he knew that this was inevitable. She was already the Queen of Jin Kingdom.
Ye Zhen ignored Lu Lingzhi and looked at Qi Ruoshui lightly. "You took Xi 'er away, why?"
She just saw Qi Zixi. Although she did not see him carefully, she was sure that the person she saw was Qi Zixi.
Qi Ruoshui smiled. "I gave birth to him. What's wrong with taking him away?"
"You just gave birth to him, not his mother." Ye Rou said in a cold voice. She could see that Qi Jin cherished Qi Zixi as if he was her lifeblood. For Qi Ruoshui to take him away like this was a great blow to Qi Jin.
"It's enough to give birth to him. I will let him live the rest of his life in glory." Qi Ruoshui said with a smile. "Well, let's rest for the night and continue tomorrow."
Ye Zhen looked at the city gate not far away. After this gate was the wasteland. At this time, her brother was fighting with the Western Liang in the wasteland. If he already knew about her, he would definitely send someone to guard the pass.
Tomorrow, when she came out of seclusion, it would be her only chance.
"Liu Chen, follow her and change her appearance." Qi Ruoshui looked at Ye Zhen with a smile, then turned and walked into the house.
Ye Zhen's face changed slightly. She would not doubt the Witch King's disguise technique, but she was worried that someone would recognize her as the Jin Kingdom's Empress tomorrow.
"Yes." A woman beside Qi Ruoshui said in a low voice and walked to Ye Zhen's side with a blank expression.
Lu Lingzhi was a little dazed. He wanted to follow but he was stopped by Qi Ruoshui. "Lu Lingzhi, you have already escorted her here. This is already very good. Leave the rest to Liu Chen."
"Good." Lu Lingzhi nodded gently. He took a deep look at Ye Zhen. Anyway, he would always be by her side when she arrived in Western Liang.
"Send the guest to her room to rest." Qi Ruoshui said to Liu Chen.
"Yes, Witch King." Liu Chen responded in a low voice, reached out to hold Ye Zhen's arm and forced her to walk inside the house.
Qi Ruoshui let Lu Lingzhi follow her to the courtyard.
"You go back to the barracks tomorrow." Qi Ruoshui said to Lu Lingzhi.
"Witch King, you promised me to let me stay with her." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice.
Qi Ruoshui looked at him. "You have been with her for many days. How does she treat you?"
Lu Lingzhi said, "That's why I need to spend more time with her."
"The Northern Dark Kingdom and Western Liang are at war with the Jin Kingdom. You are familiar with Tang Zhen and the Jin Kingdom's fighting style. I am more at ease with you in the barracks. You can rest assured that since I promised you that I would not hurt Lu Yaoyao, I will naturally let her be well." Qi Ruoshui said, "When you come back from the barracks, she will be yours."
"Good." Lu Lingzhi knew that he had to agree. Otherwise, he might not even have the chance to see Ye Zhen.
Qi Ruoshui asked, "Do you know what Lu Yaoyao's weakness is?"
"Her …" Lu Lingzhi thought carefully. "I don't know."
In the past, Ye Zhen's weakness might be Mo Rongzhan. But now that she has experienced so many things, it is really hard to say.
Qi Ruoshui said with a smile, "She should be very worried about her belly. As long as she thinks that Huang Fuchen promised me, I will let her stay with you forever."
Lu Lingzhi frowned. "You want to hypnotize her?"
"If I don't hypnotize her, as long as she remembers Mo Rongzhan, she will never be tempted by you, let alone stay by your side." Qi Ruoshui said with a smile.
"I know." Lu Lingzhi lowered his eyes. He just held a glimmer of hope. Since she could forgive Mo Rongzhan, she would be moved by his sincerity and forgive him.
Qi Ruoshui looked at Lu Lingzhi's silent handsome face, and a sneer flashed in her eyes. Lu Yaoyao was really a femme fatale. She was just a little bit good-looking, but she made so many men fall head over heels for her.
Watching Lu Lingzhi leave, Qi Ruoshui revealed an unfathomable smile.
Wu Ming came from the side, still holding a medicine box in his hand.
"Is this the medicine box Lu Yaoyao used in the Qi family?" Qi Ruoshui asked in a low voice.
"Yes, there are 28 compartments in it, filled with different medicinal herbs and some homemade pills." Wu Ming whispered, "These pills look no different from ordinary ones, but the effect is better."
Qi Ruoshui picked up Ye Zhen's homemade pills, rubbed a little with her fingertips, and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, she felt the fragrance lingering in her lips and teeth, and the cool feeling flowed through her whole body. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked down at the pills in her palm.
"Have you checked the ingredients of these pills?" Qi Ruoshui asked in a serious voice.
Wu Ming said, "Yes, it's just a very ordinary medicine."
"This medicine is not ordinary at all." Qi Ruoshui smiled. "Lu Yaoyao seems to be more hidden than I thought. Send the medicine box to my room. If these medicines were the same as the ordinary ones, Xi 'er would not wake up now."
"Yes." Wu Ming answered in a low voice, but he was a little confused. He really didn't see what was different about these medicines. Wasn't it the same as what he saw in the pharmacy of the priest's temple?
Qi Ruoshui took the pill and fell into contemplation.
