It was Zhao Rao's intention to let Zhao Ning go to the Qi State. She just wanted to prove to the courtiers that even though she is the queen now, the relationship with her sisters is not weak, and she will treat all brothers and sisters kindly.
Cheng Zheng agreed with her approach, and personally arranged for Zhao Ning and the others to live in the princess mansion. Three months ago, Zhao Ning learned that she was pregnant. She originally wanted to keep them longer, but Mo Rong Yi insisted on going back to Jin Country, but she didn't say anything, and even rewarded a lot of things. If it wasn't for Zhao Xiang, she wouldn't know that Zhao Ning didn't go back at all.
Zhao Rao took a deep breath, "Tell me, why?"
"For Qi State." Cheng Zheng said in a deep voice, "Morong Zhan's disappearance is an opportunity for us Qi State."
"What chance? Do you think I can't bring the people of Qi to live and work in peace?" Zhao Rao asked.
Cheng Zheng said, "That's not what I mean. If Murongyi becomes the emperor, we can coexist peacefully with the Kingdom of Jin, and won't be swallowed up by the Kingdom of Yuan in the future."
"Are you worried that Murong Ke doesn't want to become an ally with us?" Zhao Rao asked suspiciously.
"Murong Ke can become the new emperor after Murong Zhan disappeared, and Murong Yi can become the idle king. You should know what kind of person he is, and Yuan Guo... Ye Zhen is also missing, although he has not yet supported the new emperor. Emperor, but he will definitely replace Concubine Tian as emperor, I have contacted Shui Yichen a few times, he is an ambitious person, and he is definitely more difficult to deal with than Murong Ke." Cheng Zheng said, "We need someone from Jin Kingdom Only by forming an alliance can we deal with the Yuan Kingdom."
Zhao Rao gradually calmed down, she knew that since Zhao Yong's death, Qi State is no longer the strongest country, especially her seizure of power, Qi State has also had a great influence, and she also wants to return to its former strength , but this is not something that can be done in a day or two.
"Even so, you shouldn't treat Zhao Ning like this." Zhao Rao said in a low voice.
"If you don't keep Zhao Ning, Murong Yi won't agree." Cheng Zheng shook his head lightly, "Only in this way, Murong Yi will contact Murong Zhan's old department, and really take away Murong Ke's throne. "
Zhao Rao glared at him, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I told you, you can't be ruthless." Cheng Zheng said flatly, "I originally left Zhao Ning at Cheng's house, but someone took her away."
"Did Murong Yi come back to save him?" Zhao Rao asked.
"Impossible!" Cheng Zheng shook his head. "I sent someone to watch Murongyi personally. He has already returned to Jin Kingdom. It is impossible for him to come back to rescue Zhao Ning."
Zhao Rao didn't like Cheng Zheng's actions, but he knew in his heart that he was indeed doing it for Qi and her, "Who else in the imperial capital will help Zhao Ning?"
Cheng Zheng pondered for a moment, "The former emperor's former ministers, only they will help Zhao Ning."
"How did they know that you put Ning'er under house arrest?" Zhao Rao asked.
This is what Cheng Zheng couldn't figure out, "Find Zhao Ning first and then talk about it."
"Cheng Zheng, no matter what you do, you can't hurt Ning'er." Zhao Rao said, "She's my younger sister... I don't want to be considered as inhuman by future generations."
"No." Cheng Zheng said with a smile, even if he was considered inhuman, it was scolding her and had nothing to do with her.
This is why he wants to hide her. In the future, people in the world will only say that he is ruthless and will not implicate her.
Zhao Rao looked at Cheng Zheng for a while, and put his arms around his neck, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be the emperor. I'm so tired."
"Persist a little longer." Cheng Zheng said in a low voice, "It will get better soon."
"I hope so." Zhao Rao sighed, "But, you haven't found Ning'er after searching for a few days. Could it be that she has already left the imperial capital?"
Cheng Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, "No, we will always find her."
Zhao Ning is pregnant and has a child with her. She won't be able to hide for long, and she will be discovered sooner or later.
"What if Murongyi didn't do what you said?" Zhao Rao asked again. Zhao Xiang came to question her today, but she still answered so resolutely, "Xiang'er suspects that I have put Ning'er under house arrest, and wants me to let her go today." See Ning'er."
"How did Zhao Xiang know?" Cheng Zheng frowned. He hid Zhao Ning in Cheng's house, and almost no one knew about it.
"She said she found Murong Yi returning to Jin Country alone." Zhao Rao said.
Cheng Zheng nodded lightly, "If Murongyi doesn't do what I arranged in the end, or if he doesn't accomplish what I asked him to do, I will still send Zhao Ning back to Jin Kingdom, and I won't hurt their mother and son, my empress, Is this okay?"
Zhao Rao raised a smile, "Yes."
"Is there something bothering you at the court today?" He didn't go to the court today because of something. He dared to go back to the city and heard that Zhao Rao had been looking for him. He guessed that it must be related to what happened in the court.
"No, it's not those words." Zhao Rao said disgustedly, "They think I'm a woman who doesn't understand, and they always want to fool me."
Cheng Zheng picked up a memorial and looked at it, "Think you punished Yao Shiming too harshly? This is a punishment order to oppose me."
The reason why Qi State has shown signs of decay in the past few years is more because there are too many corrupt officials. However, the imperial court did not punish officials who were corrupt. Gift giving was also punished. After the punishment order came out, many officials disliked Cheng Zheng even more.
"I think this punishment order is quite good, at least the treasury is no longer empty." Ye Zhen said.
"Any new government order will be difficult at the beginning, but it will be fine later." Cheng Zheng reassured.
Zhao Rao nodded, "I know, by the way, is there any news from Murongyi?"
"He has already returned to Jin Kingdom, so it depends on what he plans to do next." Cheng Zheng said in a low voice, he looked down on Murong Yi a little bit, he gave in too easily, if Jin Kingdom is such an emperor ascending the throne, then He can completely hold Murong Yi in his hands.
It's a pity that Murong Ke and Murong Zhan are both old foxes, so he has to be careful.
"In case Murong Zhan and the others come back in the future..." Ye Zhen frowned, and she still couldn't understand how Murong Zhan and Ye Zhen said they disappeared.
"Even if he comes back, what can he do?" Cheng Zheng sneered, "He is no longer a threat."
Zhao Rao looked at the sky outside, she pushed Cheng Zheng's shoulder, "Hurry up and find Mingyu, she is still pregnant, so I can't take it here and there."
"Okay, I'll look for it right away, okay?" Cheng Zheng smiled and pinched the tip of your Zhao Rao's nose.
Zhao Rao said, "The former emperor believed in Dai Shi, Gu Yuexian and Song Hongao the most. Maybe you can check them out."
Cheng Zheng smiled slightly, "Yeah."
