Wang Qu saw the token in Shen Yi's hand and took a closer look. Sure enough, the emperor had returned.
"Open the gate!" He hurriedly ordered Mo Rongzhan and the others to enter the city.
"Greetings, Your Majesty and Her Majesty." Wang Qu had already led his men to kneel inside the city gate to welcome Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan dismounted from his horse and looked around with his sharp eyes. He saw that many people were injured and raised his hand. "Get up. Who led the troops?"
Wang Qu knew that the emperor was asking who led the troops to attack Xia Province. He knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, I underestimated the enemy and almost let the enemy break through the city gate …"
He told Mo Rongzhan that he suspected that Lu Lingzhi was no longer in Anhe City, so he took the initiative to fight. "Who knew that Lu Lingzhi was still in the city, but when the Chen army attacked, he did not appear."
"Get up. This is not your fault." Mo Rongzhan said lightly. Lu Lingzhi's purpose in staying in Anhe City was not for Xia Province, but to wait for him to see him. Moreover, he was also very clear that Wang Qu's array was not as good as his, but he could definitely defend the city. The Chen army could not attack Xia Province at all.
Wang Qu found that this time, besides the Empress, the Sixth Wangye was also with the emperor. He bowed to Murong Ke again. "Sixth Wangye."
Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "Let's go back to the city first."
They finally returned to the Marshal's Mansion. Mo Rongzhan did not immediately go to the study with Wang Qu. He first returned to the backyard with Ye Zhen.
"Although this place is not as spacious as the palace, it is still spacious. You like to be clean. You have been suffocating for the past two days. Let the servants boil water for you to bathe." Mo Rongzhan whispered in Ye Zhen's ear.
Ye Zhen looked at him with a slightly red face. "What's wrong with being clean?"
She was used to bathing every day to feel comfortable. These two days, she spent the night in the farmhouse. It was not convenient to bathe. She was uncomfortable and he always teased her.
Mo Rongzhan chuckled and kissed her on the cheek. "I didn't say it was bad. Isn't this my benefit?"
"Don't you still have to talk to General Wang? Hurry up. "Ye Zhen pushed his arm.
"No hurry." Mo Rongzhan stretched out his arms, "We haven't bathed in two days. It's a good time for us to take a bath together."
Ye Zhen pinched the back of his hand angrily. "Who wants to take a bath with you? Go and deal with your business."
Ever since she inadvertently mentioned that having sex occasionally could be beneficial, he was no longer as restrained as before. During the few days on the road, he was worried that she was tired, but now he was not as worried.
Mo Rongzhan whispered into her ear, "You said you wanted to try sitting on top of me."
Ye Zhen's cheeks instantly turned red, and she shouted angrily, "Your Majesty!"
"I'm not teasing you." Mo Rongzhan laughed heartily. He hugged her in his arms and rubbed her a few times. Then, he kissed her lower abdomen. "Fuhuang will come to accompany you in a while."
Ye Rou sent him out with a red face. When she turned around, she saw the two maids covering their mouths to hold back their laughter. She glared at them. "You also want to make fun of ben gong?"
Hong Ying smiled and said, "Niang niang, how could this servant dare tease you? His Majesty is so reluctant to part with you, we are also happy."
"Yes, yes." Jian Jia nodded in agreement.
"Nonsense." Ye Zhen laughed and scolded. After being separated from Mo Rongzhan for a few months, he was more worried than she was when they met again. If he could be with her, he would never leave. Especially after knowing her nightmares, he treated her better than before.
It was as if he cherished her in the palm of his hand and feared that she would fall.
However, the more he did this, the more Ye Zhen was afraid that he would forget her one day. His kindness would become her pain. If he still treated other women so well, she would feel worse than death.
"Niang niang, this servant will prepare hot water for you." Hong Ying said with a smile.
"Good." Ye Zhen nodded. She walked to the window and looked at the dark sky in the distance, not knowing what would happen next.
Before the hot water was ready, Jia Jia went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of beef noodles for Ye Zhen to eat. It was already the middle of the night, and it was not easy to make something else to eat. Ye Zhen ate until she was sweating. Just as she entered the bathtub, Mo Rongzhan's voice came from outside.
Not long after, she saw him stride into the washroom, a pair of pitch-black eyes shining brightly.
"Back so soon?" Ye Zhen was stunned when she saw him.
Mo Rongzhan took off his clothes and said, "There's nothing else important. Wang Qu is not good at arrays. Lu Lingzhi knew this well, so he won."
At the mention of Lu Lingzhi, Ye Zhen's eyes darkened slightly. She looked at Mo Rongzhan who stepped into the bathtub. Her eyes touched his strong chest, and her cheeks blushed. She did not dare to move her eyes down until he sat down. "Ah Zhan, there's something I haven't told you yet."
"What is it?" Mo Rongzhan held her in his arms and stroked her lower abdomen with one hand, only to feel comfortable and carefree all over.
"Lu Lingzhi seems to know my secret." Ye Zhen whispered.
Mo Rongzhan was bowing his head and kissing her shoulder. When he heard Ye Zhen's words, he raised his head and looked at her with deep eyes. "What does he know?"
Ye Zhen bit her lip. "He called me Ye Zhen, but I didn't admit it. He seems to think that I am Ye Zhen."
"How did he know?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know. I think he's just guessing, and he won't have any evidence." Ye Zhen said. In fact, she didn't take Lu Lingzhi's speculation to heart. "As long as I don't admit it, no one will believe it even if he says it."
Mo Rongzhan nodded, but his killing intent towards Lu Lingzhi grew even firmer.
"What does Lu Lingzhi want to do in Anhe City?" Ye Zhen asked. She always felt that Lu Lingzhi's existence was very bad, which made her inexplicably disgusted.
"In a few days, I will personally lead troops to attack Anhe City and kill Lu Lingzhi with my own hands." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, "Don't talk about him anymore, lest it affects your mood."
Ye Zhen smiled. "You have to be careful to protect yourself."
Mo Rongzhan bowed his head and kissed her pink lips. "I will not let anything happen to me for you."
"I … I'll wipe your back." Ye Zhen's breathing was a little disordered.
"Your strength …" Mo Rongzhan chuckled in a low voice. "It won't be enough for a while."
Ye Zhen was stunned. "Why would I not be enough?"
Mo Rongzhan sat on his lap with her in his arms and slowly slid in. "Do you think it's enough?"
"You …" Ye Zhen grabbed his shoulders with both hands. "Bastard!"
"How am I a bastard?" Mo Rongzhan held her soft jade tightly. "I clearly read in your medical book that occasional sexual intercourse after the first trimester can bring many benefits, and … I heard that pregnant women want …"
"Shut up! Don't say it again!" Ye Zhen shivered and gasped for breath.
Mo Rongzhan chuckled. "Yao Yao, you are more sensitive than before."
