Qi Ruoshui gloomily watched Huang Fuchen and Ye Zhen leave and asked Wu Ming coldly, "Is there still no news from Liu Chen?"
Wu Ming said, "She was taken away by Ye Chunnan and is still in Ye Chunnan's military camp."
"Why is she still in the camp?" Qi Ruoshui asked angrily.
"I don't know what medicine Ye Chunnan fed her to make her lose her martial arts. All the people we left in the city were killed by Ye Chunnan." That's why they haven't rescued Liu Chen yet. The camp was so big that they didn't know which tent she was locked in.
Qi Ruoshui rubbed her eyebrows. She was not worried about the war in Donglai. When she came out of the palace, she was still calm and thought that there would be no problem. The Jin Kingdom was now facing enemies on both sides. Even if Mo Rongzhan personally went there, it would not change anything.
"I have to go to Anhe City in person. The Dark North Kingdom and we are allies. They must send troops to support Donglai." Qi Ruoshui said. The Dark North Kingdom had 200,000 troops. If they could support Xiliang, Donglai would not be a problem at all.
"It's too dangerous." Wu Ming said.
Qi Ruoshui nodded. "I know it's dangerous. Let me think about it."
Wu Ming glanced at her and knew that it was impossible for her to release the Jin Kingdom's Empress. "It's better to exchange Jin Shanshan with Ye Chunnan. I heard that he values Jin Shanshan very much."
"Jin Shanshan? The girl beside Lu Yaoyao?" Qi Ruoshui raised her eyebrows. Did Ye Chunnan not want to save his sister but save a subordinate?
"Ye Chunnan doesn't seem to treat Jin Shanshan as a simple subordinate." Wu Ming said.
Qi Ruoshui said, "You send someone to find Ye Chunnan. As long as he releases Liu Chen, I will let Jin Shanshan leave."
Wu Ming whispered.
Ye Zhen walked out of the hall with her head down. Thinking of Qi Ruoshui facing Cha Luan every day, she couldn't help but shiver.
"What's wrong?" Huangfu Chen asked softly.
"The Old Witch King …" Ye Zhen whispered, "She is no different from a dead person. Qi Ruoshui is doing everything he can to keep her alive. This is torture. Although I don't know what kind of life she lived in the Priest Palace before, she must have a strong hatred in her heart. Where does her hatred come from?" "That old witch king …
Not to mention that Qi Ruoshui was reluctant to part with Chue Luan, but looking at Chue Luan's expression, Qi Ruoshui could not see any reluctance from Qi Ruoshui.
Huangfu Chen glanced at Ye Zhen silently. "Qi Ruoshui has been in the Priest Hall for more than ten years. Something must have happened that we don't know. She must hate Qeluan so much because of Huangfu Jilan."
"Why do you think Huangfu Jilan is retaliating against her?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully. What she knew was the relationship between Huangfu Jilan and Qi Ruoshui, including Qi Zixi's life experience, but this was not enough to make Huangfu Jilan hate his daughter so much.
Something must have happened in the middle.
Huangfu Chen said, "I don't know what else happened between the father and daughter in the Priest Hall, but Huangfu Jilan is my uncle. Although I don't have many opportunities to meet him, I can still know what kind of person he is. He is not an ambitious person. He is romantic, elegant, and loves freedom. How could he be willing to be bound by some old dynasty? He is willing to stay in the Priest Hall for so many years, which is enough to see his infatuation with Qeluan. But he is not a person who holds a grudge, let alone his own daughter. He should be full of guilt towards Qi Ruoshui, not hatred. Perhaps there is only one reason. Before he died, he might have learned some truth, which made him want to retaliate against Qi Ruoshui."
"Could this hatred be from Qeluan?" Ye Zhen's mind flashed, and she remembered Qeluan's strange expression. "Qeluan was poisoned by Qi Ruoshui?"
Huangfu Chen's eyes darkened. Qi Ruoshui's medical skills were superb, and the Witch King of Western Liang was good at using poison. If she learned poison from Qeluan, with her talent, she would definitely learn very well. Unknowingly, she had poisoned Qeluan, but Qeluan had never discovered it until Huangfu Chen died.
"Only Qi Ruoshui knows the real reason. Yao Yao, don't worry about anything now. I will ask Qi Ruoshui to let you go."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. She felt that Qi Ruoshui would not let her go so easily.
Huangfu Chen looked at the moon that had already risen in the sky. "It's very late. Let's go back."
"Okay." Ye Zhen looked back. This majestic hall should be the place where the previous Witch Kings lived. Who in the entire Western Liang knew that the former Witch Kings were still suffering from the torture of not being able to die?
Jin Shanshan was waiting for Ye Zhen in front. When she saw Huangfu Chen coming together, she clasped her hands and bowed.
"Have you noticed? There are a lot more people in the priest hall than last time." Teng Ye swaggered beside Murong Ke, his eyes darting around boldly.
"Don't mess around." Murong Ke warned in a cold voice, his eyes searching for where Yao Yao might live.
Teng Ye said with a smile, "We are patrolling now. Even if others see us, it's no big deal."
Murong Ke said coldly, "Hurry up and find her."
"This is the front hall. She definitely won't live here. Remember the hall we sneaked into last time? There are several courtyards behind the hall. Lu Yaoyao should be locked up there." Teng Ye said.
Murong Ke frowned. Of course, he still remembered that hall. They saw an old woman who was at the end of her life. Her entire body could not move, and only her eyeballs could move. She just sat there, looking gloomy and terrifying.
"Let's go." Murong Ke said in a deep voice.
They had not walked for long when they saw four patrolling guards in front of them.
"Hey, why are you guys still here?" The leading guard pointed at them and shouted, "Why aren't you patrolling the backyard? Did you run off to drink again?"
Teng Ye immediately said with a smile, "No, no, I drank two cups to warm up and went to the back to patrol."
"Keep a close eye on the eldest prince of Violet Silk House. Don't let him escape."
Murong Ke of Violet Silk House nodded. "Yes."
"Let's go over there." The leading guard led the others to the other side.
Murong Ke and Teng Ye looked at each other and the two of them silently walked forward.
It was not important to them who the eldest prince was. At least they knew that they were guarding that place. Maybe Yao Yao was also there.
"Could the eldest prince be Wanyan Xi?" Teng Ye asked in a low voice.
"Besides him, who else could it be?" Murong Ke said.
Teng Ye said, "Maybe Lu Yaoyao is also there."
They followed the moonlight all the way to the back. Although they met other guards, they all covered up.
"Is that Violet Silk House?" Teng Ye asked as he pointed at the courtyard in front.
Murong Ke knew the language of Western Liang. With a glance, he could tell that this was the place that the guards were talking about.
Unfortunately, they searched the entire courtyard but still couldn't find Lu Yaoyao.
"She's here. Wait for her." Murong Ke said. He could smell her fragrance.
