"Your Majesty, we are already crossing the river." Tang Zhen walked behind Murong Zhan. They had been walking on the Li River for two days and two nights, and they still haven't seen Ye Yiqing's boat, let alone the empress.
They are warships, and their speed is much faster than ordinary cargo ships. No matter how fast Ye Yiqing's ship is, it is impossible to match the speed of warships. The difference between them is only two hours, and they should be able to catch up soon. Why are they so fast? Haven't seen them all the way across the river
Murong Zhan looked at the river where sky and water connected, and what he was most worried about happened.
Ye Yiqing didn't take Ye Zhen to Jinkou City, but left Jin Kingdom and crossed the river to the sea.
He really didn't intend to let Yaoyao come back.
"Yaoyao has a daughter's trip in Jinkou City. Ye Yiqing went to the capital by himself this time. Zhaoyang did not follow him. He will definitely pick up Zhaoyang and go to Jinkou City to find Zhaoyang." Mo Rongzhan expressionless said.
Since he woke up, he didn't show any sadness anymore, which made Tang Zhen beside him more and more worried. He felt that the calmer Murong Zhan was, the more terrifying he was, and he didn't know when he would explode.
Tang Zhen said, "Your Majesty, why do I feel that Mr. Ye seems to have been prepared for a long time? Could it be that he knew in advance that the empress would... There is no reason."
Mo Rongzhan looked down at the sparkling river, "He made up his mind to take Yaoyao away."
Ye Yiqing must have misunderstood his going to Qi. Everyone thought he was going to Qi to propose a marriage. No one knew that he was just looking for Zhao Ning. He just regretted it now. If he had discussed it with Ye Zhen before leaving, she would Wouldn't something happen
"Your Majesty..." Tang Zhen looked at Murong Zhan worriedly.
"I don't believe that Yaoyao will die." Murong Zhan said in a low voice, he can die and be reborn, Ye Zhen was able to live again with Lu Yaoyao's body before, he doesn't believe that she left like this this time, She must... lied to him, feigned death to make him give up
She was really cruel to him.
Tang Zhen said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you haven't rested for several days, why don't you take a rest first, and I will call you again when you arrive at Jinkou City."
Mo Rongzhan was unmoved, he knew that if Ye Yiqing was prepared, he would definitely not let him find it easily, but he still hoped to see a trace.
"You don't want your empress to come back and see you like this." Tang Zhen said.
"I'm going to sleep." That's right, if Yaoyao saw him like this, she might be so scared that she didn't want to come back. Before she came back, he would be fine and she would come back.
In fact, Mo Rongzhan couldn't sleep. When he closed his eyes, he saw Ye Zhen smiling beautifully, and her sweet and soft voice was in his ears. Just sitting in his arms shamelessly, she always had a way to make him helpless to her, he opened his eyes as if seeing her close in front of him, stretched out his hand to hug her, and she disappeared in front of him again.
Yaoyao, his Yaoyao...
It turns out that the feeling of losing someone is so painful.
"Your majesty, let me give you the acupuncture." Qi Jin came to deliver medicine to Murong Zhan, and when he heard his heavy breathing, he knew that the emperor couldn't sleep.
Mo Rongzhan closed his eyes again, "Come on."
He didn't want to see her only in his dream, he had to really hug her to feel at ease.
With Qi Jin's help, Murong Zhan fell asleep at some point, and when he woke up again, the boat had already docked, and Tang Zhen stood in front of him with a heavy face.
"Didn't you find Zhaoyang?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
"There is only one shopkeeper and a few servants in Qianjinhang. It is said that Mrs. Ye did come here a few days ago, but she left two days ago, and Man Qin and Tian Jiu who were by Mrs. Ye's side also disappeared. "Tang Zhen said in a low voice, "I found this thing in the study in the backyard of Qianjinhang."
Tang Zhen handed a blueprint to Murong Zhan, and Murong Zhan only glanced at it, "This is... a warship?"
"I have inquired for a long time. Someone secretly built this ship many years ago. Although it looks different from a warship, I am afraid that the speed is higher than our warship. If this is the blueprint designed by Mr. Ye himself , then he is really... a genius." Tang Zhen has seen the blueprints, and he really admires the person who designed such a warship. Not only are there more weapons on board, but even the iron anchors look different. The anchor is not suitable for long-distance sailing, but the iron anchor on the drawing does not seem to have this problem.
"It will take at least ten years for ordinary people to build such a ship, and Ye Yiqing has been preparing for it many years ago." Did Ye Yiqing think about going to the ocean early in the morning? Ten years ago... Maybe no one in the Ye family knew about it, otherwise Ye Yisong would not use such a warship
Could it be that their ship couldn't catch up, Ye Yiqing must have changed this ship halfway.
"Go and find out who is building this kind of boat, it can't be all done by Ye Yiqing, there will definitely be traces left." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang Zhen responded, "Then... shall we continue to chase?"
Murongzhan thought that Ye Zhen might have been taken far out to sea at this time, and he would never be able to chase her back, so his heart throbbed, "Go to sea."
He still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, what if Yaoyao couldn't bear him and wanted to come back
"I asked Shen Yi to stay in Jinkou City to investigate the ship paper." Tang Zhen said in a low voice.
Their boat sailed out to sea again, but after walking on the sea for less than half an hour, they saw a few pieces of boat poles floating on the water. Tang Zhen let someone who knows water skills into the water, and then they realized that Ye Yiqing and his boat It has been smashed and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Murong Zhan stared darkly at the distant sea, white waves rolled one by one, his heart sank little by little.
He can't catch up.
Ye Yiqing was determined to take Yaoyao away, how could he find him.
"Your Majesty..." Tang Zhen's eyes were full of sadness.
"Go back to the capital." When he said this, Murong Zhan felt that his voice seemed to be coming from a distance, and he didn't even hear it clearly.
Going back to the capital, giving up on chasing Yaoyao, that is... never seeing her again
He believed that Yaoyao was the same as him, she would be reluctant to part with him.
Yaoyao, you will definitely come back, right
"The news about the empress..." Tang Zhen was very worried. At this time, the capital must know that the empress had passed away. Can the emperor accept this fact
Murong Zhan said in a low voice, "No matter who it is, whoever dares to mention the Queen's death will be killed."
Tang Zhen knew that Murong Zhan would say this, "Then say... Your Majesty went to sea with Master Ye."
"She will come back." Murong Zhan whispered, he did not believe that Yaoyao died like this.
He didn't allow her to part with him in this way.
