It was Sun Jun who came to Mo Rongzhan. He brought people to chase Lu Lingzhi but only caught two of his men. Lu Lingzhi still escaped.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate found out that Lu Lingzhi wanted to bring them to the Qi Kingdom. He said … Lu Lingzhi has a younger sister that the Qi Kingdom's Emperor likes very much. She is the most favored concubine in the Qi Kingdom's Imperial Palace." Sun Jun lowered his head.
Who was Lu Lingzhi's sister? There was almost no need to think about this question. After all, she was an imperial concubine that the emperor had once favored. Although she had been bestowed death, as a man, he should not want the woman he once favored to serve another man.
Mo Rongzhan didn't even bat an eyelid. For him, Lu Wushuang was his arrogant and stupid past. He didn't care what happened to Lu Wushuang. The only thing he cared about was whether that woman was trying to frame Yaoyao again.
"Keep him alive. Ask him where Lu Lingzhi is staying in Qi before dealing with him." Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
Sun Jun responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, this subordinate will take his leave first."
Mo Rongzhan whispered, "How is Shen Yi's injury?"
"Your Majesty, the doctor said that Lord Shen's injury is recovering very well. This is all thanks to Her Highness's medicine."
"Go." Mo Rongzhan nodded gently. Shen Yi was his confidant. Naturally, he did not want anything to happen to him.
Sun Jun bowed his head and retreated. Mo Rongzhan was about to turn around and go back to accompany Ye Zhen when he saw a tall figure coming slowly. He stopped and looked up at the person.
"Your Majesty." Murong Ke smiled and saluted.
Mo Rongzhan looked at him silently for a while and sat down again. "You are not here to say goodbye, are you?"
"No." Murong Ke shook his head and sat down in a chair beside him. "Ah Zhan, are you going to Xia Province or the Wilderness next?"
"Why?" Mo Rongzhan thought that Murong Ke would not care about the affairs of the imperial court. He was a little surprised that he took the initiative to ask.
Murong Ke smiled. "I'm just a little curious about the current situation."
Mo Rongzhan said, "Wan Ziliang was injured by Ye Chunnan. It won't be easy for the Western Liang or the Northern Underworld Kingdom to enter the Wilderness in the future. Wanyan Xi and Tuoba Xuanyuan have made peace with Lord Ye, and the battle at Pingjing has also stopped."
"In that case, the war has come to an end." Murong Ke said with a faint smile.
"Not necessarily." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "Anhe City of the Dark North Kingdom is still a threat to Xia Zhou. I want to take over Anhe City."
Murong Ke frowned slightly. "Are you planning to bring Yaoyao to Anhe City?"
"We will let Yaoyao recuperate in the commander's residence in the city and will not go to the army camp." Mo Rongzhan said.
Anhe City … Although Murong Ke did not believe what he had dreamed, he still had to be on guard. "Why don't I fight for you in Anhe City, and you can escort Yaoyao back to the capital?"
Mo Rongzhan was stunned. "Ah Ke?"
"Yaoyao is pregnant after all. You are the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, and it is not good for you to always leave the capital. Now, you only worry about Anhe City. Although I have not fought before, I will not let you down." Murong Ke said with a smile.
"I know you will not let me down." Mo Rongzhan looked at Murong Ke with bright eyes. "Did something happen?"
Murong Ke smiled and shook his head. "You have been separated from Yaoyao for so long. Don't you want to spend more time with her?"
"Ah Ke, you never touch the affairs of the imperial court, let alone take the initiative to fight." Mo Rongzhan looked at Murong Ke suspiciously. He always felt that Murong Ke was hiding something from him.
"I am doing it for Yaoyao." Murong Ke said without hiding, "This may make you unhappy, but it is the truth. I don't want to see Yaoyao in any danger. I don't want to see her depressed. She can only be at ease and happy when she is by your side."
Mo Rongzhan looked at Murong Ke silently and said slowly, "You and Yaoyao …"
"I met her on the way to Dongqing," Murong Ke said in a low voice. Murong Ke said in a low voice, "Perhaps it's because I resemble you. When she was looking at me in a daze, I was wondering how this young lady's eyes could be so beautiful. They were clearly ordinary looking. It was only later on that I found out that she was in disguise. Ah Zhan, it's not that I'm trying to get anything from her. It's just that without you by her side, her eyes are like jewels that no longer shine.
"I will always be by her side," Mo Rongzhan said firmly. Mo Rongzhan firmly said that from now on, no matter where he goes, he will take Ye Zhen with him.
"No matter what happens in the future, you will not fall in love with another woman?" Murong Ke raised his eyebrows and asked.
Mo Rongzhan chuckled. "That is impossible."
"You won't forget her?" Murong Ke asked again.
"Ah Ke!" Mo Rongzhan's tone became more serious. "Your worries are unnecessary."
Murong Ke smiled bitterly. "I hope so."
"As for letting you fight for me, I will consider it." Mo Rongzhan said lightly. "It's getting late. You should go and rest.
"Alright." Murong Ke stood up and bowed with his head slightly lowered.
Mo Rongzhan looked at his back view with furrowed brows before returning to the room to check on Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was still asleep, the faint light in the room casting a faint glow on her body. Her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, as though she was not sleeping well. She must have been frightened by the past few days.
Mo Rongzhan's heart ached at the sight of her. He laid down beside her and hugged her. "Little Jiaojiao, I'm here."
"Ah Zhan …" Ye Zhen called out softly.
"Hmm?" Mo Rongzhan thought that she had woken up.
Ye Zhen called out softly again, "Ah Zhan, where are you? Ah Zhan … It's me … It's me …"
"Yao Yao?" Mo Rongzhan froze for a moment. Lowering his eyes to look at her, he realized that she was crying her eyes out in her dream.
"I'm Ye Zhen … I'm Yao Yao …" Ye Zhen cried out in her dream. Ah Zhan, how could you not remember? How could you forget what you promised her?
Mo Rongzhan was shocked by her sorrowful tone. "Yao Yao, wake up! I'm here!"
"You're not Ah Zhan! Not my Ah Zhan!" Ye Zhen cried out, unable to wake up from her dream.
"Yao Yao, hurry and wake up!" Mo Rongzhan raised his voice. "Yao Yao!"
Ye Zhen sobbed so hard that Mo Rongzhan felt as though a piece of flesh had been gouged out of his heart. Hugging her in his arms, he pressed his lips against her ears and called out her name softly. "Yao Yao, I'm here! I'm here!"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Her Highness?" Hong Ying and Jianjia who were guarding outside the room hurried in. "Did Her Highness have a nightmare again?"
Again? Mo Rongzhan's gaze turned cold. "You guys can leave first."
Does Yao Yao have nightmares often? What did she dream of?
