Guan Jie jumped on top of the carriage and broke the roof with one foot. Just as he was about to reach out and grab Ye Zhen, the sound of hooves came.
"Yao Yao …"
Ye Zhen was still holding the dagger given to her by Murong Ke and was about to stab Guan Jie. When she heard Mo Rongzhan's voice, she thought she had heard it wrong.
How could she hear Mo Rongzhan's voice?
Mo Rongzhan had already seen the scene from afar. Shen Yi had already discovered Lu Lingzhi's traces two days ago, but because he did not have enough confidence in capturing Lu Lingzhi, he had been hiding in the shadows to follow him. Today, he had only met Shen Yi and knew that Lu Lingzhi's men were heading in this direction, so they had immediately rushed over.
Unexpectedly, he saw Lu Lingzhi trying to catch Ye Zhen again from a distance.
His Yao Yao had finally found her.
Lu Lingzhi and Murong Ke turned their heads at the same time. They both heard Mo Rongzhan's voice. Both of them had different feelings. The only thing they had in common was that Yao Yao was going to return to Mo Rongzhan's side.
Although Murong Ke regretted not being able to get along with Ye Zhen again, he was very much looking forward to seeing Mo Rongzhan come.
At least Yao Yao would not be taken away by Lu Lingzhi.
"Guan Jie, come back!" Lu Lingzhi shouted in a deep voice. He took a deep look at Ye Zhen. This time he could not take her to Qi Kingdom, but there would always be a chance in the future.
Compared with Murong Ke, Lu Lingzhi still had an indelible fear of Mo Rongzhan.
He knew that if he fell into Mo Rongzhan's hands again this time, he would certainly not meet a person who could restore his martial arts and legs.
"Let's go!" Lu Lingzhi jumped on the horse's back and looked at Ye Zhen unwillingly.
Guan Jie reached out and grabbed Ye Zhen's hand. He still wanted to take her with him.
Murong Ke originally wanted to stop Lu Lingzhi, but when he saw Yao Yao being caught, he immediately flew over to save her.
Guan Jie jumped on the roof of the carriage with Ye Zhen on his shoulder. When he saw Murong Ke coming, he threw Ye Zhen over without thinking.
The dagger in Ye Zhen's hand was forcefully inserted into his heart.
"Ouch!" Guan Jie screamed and threw Ye Zhen down.
Mo Rongzhan used his qinggong to leap over. When he saw the scene of Ye Zhen being thrown down, his heart stopped beating.
"Yao Yao!" Murong Ke yelled and caught Ye Zhen in the nick of time.
Unable to reach the dagger on his back, Guan Jie glared at Ye Zhen fiercely and hurried to Lu Lingzhi's side.
Mo Rongzhan had come to Ye Zhen's side. His face was pale with fright. "Yao Yao, are you okay?"
"Ah Zhan!" Ye Zhen extended her hand towards him. "It's really you! It's really you!"
"It's me." Mo Rongzhan gently hugged her in his arms. He had not seen her for a few months and had just seen her slightly bulging stomach. Even if he wanted to hug her tightly, he was afraid of hurting her.
Murong Ke silently looked at them, lowered his eyes and took a few steps back.
Song Jiong sighed helplessly inside. The person their Pavilion Master liked was the Empress. Now that the Emperor was here, what could the Pavilion Master do?
The saddest thing in the world is to fall in love with someone you shouldn't love.
"Ah Zhan, why are you here?" Ye Zhen buried her face in Mo Rongzhan's arms and smelled his familiar warm breath. Only then did she know how scared and nervous she had been in the past few months.
Mo Rongzhan resisted the urge to bow his head and kiss her. He gently held her shoulder and gazed at her with his bright and deep eyes. "I'm here for you, Yao Yao."
"Xia Province … How can you leave without worry?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you later." Mo Rongzhan whispered in Ye Zhen's ear and turned to look at Murong Ke.
Ye Zhen then remembered that there were other people around. She lowered her head in embarrassment. She dared not look at Murong Ke for fear that his eyes would make her worried. Ever since he would rather be caught by Qi Ruoshui and let Teng Ye rescue her from the Priest Hall, especially before he fell into a coma, her feelings for him could not be reciprocated, so she was even more afraid of hurting him.
Half of the people brought by Mo Rongzhan had taken the initiative to chase after Lu Lingzhi and had not returned yet. She didn't know if they could catch him.
"Your Majesty, these slaves deserve to die for not protecting the Empress." Hong Ying and Jianjia stepped forward and knelt down to salute.
"Get up." Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, knowing that the two maids had tried their best to protect Ye Zhen.
He looked up at Murong Ke and slowly walked over. "Ke, you are still alive."
Murong Ke's handsome face showed a handsome smile and he bowed with his hands folded in front of his chest. "Your Majesty, your subject is still alive."
"I'm glad to see you here." Mo Rongzhan whispered. When he heard that Murong Ke was thrown into the Insect Cave by Qi Ruoshui, he really felt sad. Apart from Mo Rongyi, Murong Ke was his closest brother.
"Thanks to the Empress for curing your subject's poison." Murong Ke said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Murong Ke's clear and dark eyes. His expression was calm and at ease, and there was not even a trace of bitterness in his eyes. However, Mo Rongzhan knew very well that Murong Ke was willing to save Ye Zhen from the Priest Hall with his life. His deep love for Ye Zhen would not be less than his own.
If he were Murong Ke at this time, his heart must be filled with unspeakable bitterness.
"You saved Yao Yao. I am grateful to you." Mo Rongzhan lowered his voice. He would not be angry because Murong Ke liked Yao Yao. On the contrary, he was sincerely grateful to Murong Ke for saving Yao Yao. Because of his sincerity towards Yao Yao, he desperately helped her escape from the clutches of Qi Ruoshui.
Murong Ke was slightly startled. He was surprised to hear Mo Rongzhan's sincerity, but soon he understood Mo Rongzhan's meaning.
"Your Majesty, your subject did it willingly, not to take credit." Murong Ke did not want to admit his feelings in front of Mo Rongzhan. When Yao Yao looked at Mo Rongzhan, the expression on her face was like a blooming flower, an expression that she did not have when she saw others.
He was almost addicted to her bright and radiant smile.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go into the city first." Mo Rongzhan said.
Murong Ke actually did not want to go with Mo Rongzhan, but he remembered his absurd dream. He wanted to know the truth and whether the same thing would happen in his dream.
"Okay." Murong Ke nodded. He did not look at Ye Zhen again.
The carriage had been damaged. Mo Rongzhan helped Ye Zhen onto his horse. He sat behind her and carefully held her waist. "Is this okay?"
Ye Zhen put her hand on the back of his hand. "Just ride a little slower."
"Enter the city." Mo Rongzhan ordered in a low voice.
They were already on the official road, not far from the next city. It was about a dozen miles away.
Murong Ke silently got on the horse. "I'll go ahead and take a look."
"Pavilion Master, I'll go too." Song Jiong hurriedly followed.
Ye Zhen looked at his back, lowered her head slightly, and sighed silently in her heart.
