Jin Kingdom, Jingdu.
Compared to the wars at the border, Jingdu was still peaceful and prosperous.
The concubines in the palace had never been favored and were used to living in obscurity. The Emperor and the Empress were not in the palace, so they could not do anything. However, some secretly hoped that the Empress, who had been taken away by the Witch King of Xiliang, would not come back.
As long as the Empress was in the palace, the Emperor would not see them. If the Empress was gone, they still had a chance to be favored by the Emperor. They did not expect to be favored by the Empress. They just hoped that they could give birth to a son or daughter. If the Empress came back and they heard that she was pregnant with a dragon, then they would not even have a place to live.
Compared to the dark thoughts of these concubines, the Empress Dowager's life was very comfortable.
"Ah Yi, look. These are the young ladies I've chosen for you. See if there's anyone that suits you." Besides dealing with the affairs of the palace, the Empress Dowager's greatest pleasure was to choose a princess for Mo Rongyi.
Mo Rongyi had just returned from the Imperial Study. He had just learned of the civil strife in the Northernmost Kingdom and the possible war in the Wilderness. He was not in a good mood. He was worried about the safety of his brother and the Empress's sister-in-law. Once there was a war in the Wilderness, the people of Jin Kingdom might not have peaceful days. He wanted to discuss these things with the Empress Dowager, but he did not expect to hear that the Empress Dowager wanted to choose a princess for him.
"Mother, didn't I say that we will talk about this later?" Mo Rongyi frowned and tried to control his tone.
The Empress Dowager glared at him. "How old are you? Quickly marry a princess. These girls are carefully selected by me. Come and take a look."
Mo Rongyi could not help but raise his voice. "Mother, the important thing now is the war at the border and the safety of my brother. You don't even ask if my brother is well or not. You never care about whether the Empress's sister-in-law is saved. Why are you thinking about these meaningless things?"
"How is it meaningless?" The Empress Dowager said angrily. "How can I not care about the war at the border? But what's the use of worrying? Can it change the situation? The Emperor is fighting in Xia Zhou, and I am also worried about his safety. I can't ignore your marriage just because I am worried. "
"Imperial Mother, right now there is nothing more important than war. Before Imperial Brother returns, I will not discuss marriage." Mo Rongyi impatiently said.
The Empress Dowager said anxiously, "Don't tell me you intend to remain unmarried for the rest of your life if the Emperor doesn't return?"
Mo Rongyi raised his head in shock and anger to look at the Empress Dowager, "Muhou, what are you saying?"
She actually cursed Imperial Brother not to return? He didn't dare believe that such words would come out of his mother's mouth. Could it be that his brother's life or death wasn't important to her?
"Aijia said just in case." The Empress Dowager knew that she had said something wrong. She coughed lightly.
"Imperial Mother, don't mention this matter again. Wait for Imperial Brother to return first." Mo Rongyi lightly said, his heart filled with indescribable disappointment.
The Empress Dowager grabbed Mo Rongyi's hand. "Ah Yi, Aijia knows that you and His Majesty have a deep brotherly relationship, but accidents are inevitable. You are His Majesty's closest younger brother and will be the pillar of Jin Kingdom in the future. How is Aijia's worry wrong?"
"Imperial Mother, the Empress's sister-in-law already has Imperial Brother's child. Your worries are unnecessary." Mo Rongyi said coldly, "I still have to discuss something with Lord Xu. Imperial Mother, I'll go first."
"Yi, Yi!" The Empress Dowager shouted at Mo Rongyi's voice.

Although she knew that Murong Ke's injuries had recovered, Ye Zhen still prescribed a few tonics for him. Those medicines were actually useless. She mainly wanted to give him some spiritual spring water to ensure that he would not be affected by the poison again.
"Yao Yao, didn't you say that my body is fine? Why do I still need to take medicine? " Murong Ke had never taken medicine in his life, but these few days he drank the most. He felt his scalp tingle when he saw it.
Ye Zhen said, "Even so, it's not bad for you."
Murong Ke smiled bitterly. "Why do I feel that you are deliberately torturing me?"
"What if I really want to torture you?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. He had concealed her identity as the Thousand Rakshasa Pavilion Master. She hadn't settled the account with him yet.
"I can only bear it." Murong Ke sighed.
Ye Zhen said, "Your body was damaged too badly before. Although you have recovered, it's always good to be careful."
Murong Ke nodded with a smile and looked down at her slightly bulging belly. "Does Ah Zhan know that you are pregnant?"
"He should know." Ye Zhen's mood became cheerful at the thought of seeing Mo Rongzhan soon.
"Yao Yao …" Murong Ke hesitated and looked at her with some hesitation.
Ye Zhen saw his strange expression and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"If one day Ah Zhan makes another woman his concubine, what will you do?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.
"Aren't there other concubines in the palace now?" Ye Zhen smiled.
That's different! The woman Murong Ke saw in his dream seemed to be in Ah Zhan's heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have doted on her for so long. Although it was just a dream, he had a vague feeling that it was more than a dream. To know whether his dream was real or not, he would have to wait until he met Ah Zhan.
"That's true." Murong Ke smiled. "How could Ah Zhan bear to let you be sad?"
Ye Zhen felt that there was a hidden meaning in Murong Ke's words. "What are you trying to say? I don't understand. "
"I'm thinking, if Ah Zhan didn't meet you, I wonder what he would be like." Murong Ke laughed. "I've never seen him smile before, let alone fall in love with any woman. His life seems to be nothing but war."
In his dreams, the Ah Zhan he saw was just like how he was when he was young. Other than fighting in the war, it was Jin Country, as though there was nothing else he was interested in. Even the Imperial Consort he was conferred later on did not seem to be able to change his personality.
Speaking of which, the only person who could truly change Ah Zhan was Yao Yao.
She was the one who made him seem like a human with emotions and desires.
"His Majesty must have suffered a lot in the palace in the past." Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Yes. The Empress Dowager was weak back then and could not protect him." Murong Ke said lightly.
Ye Zhen sighed in her heart. The Empress Dowager did not seem weak at all.
"Then how did you become the pavilion master of Thousand Rakshasa back then?" Ye Zhen asked.
Murong Ke smiled, probably expecting this question from Ye Zhen. "Do you still remember Elder Zhuo? He was only acting for a few days. I didn't expect him to become the pavilion master. "
"How did you become Elder Zhuo's disciple?" Ye Zhen asked again. Elder Zhuo was just a man of the pugilistic world and Murong Ke was a prince. How did he become Elder Zhuo's disciple?
