When Ye Zhen caught up with Mo Rongzhan and the others, the rain had stopped.
"I killed Cheng Zheng." Ye Zhen leaned against Murong Zhan's arms and looked at the carriage in front of her. She asked Xue Lin and the others to escort Zhao Ning back to Jin Kingdom. It is impossible to send someone to catch up. When she regains her senses, Zhao Ning should have returned to Jin Country safely.
If things go well in Weicheng, Zhao Ning and Murong Yi should meet halfway.
"Are you injured?" Mo Rongzhan didn't care about Cheng Zheng's life or death, he must be dying anyway, he only cared about Ye Zhen.
"No." Ye Zhen closed her eyes, and Zhao Rao's sad and hateful eyes appeared in her mind, "Zhao Rao saw me kill him with her own eyes, she knows who I am."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, this is inevitable, so he was not surprised, "Yeah."
"Seeing Zhao Rao's appearance, I can't bear it." Ye Zhen said in a low voice, she couldn't bear it, but she didn't regret it.
She knew very well that if she let Cheng Zheng go soft-hearted, who would be soft-hearted to her family in the future
If Cheng Zheng didn't die, how would he treat Murongyi and Mingyu
"Are you worried about Zhao Rao's revenge?" Mo Rongzhan felt that her clothes were wet, probably from the rain, and his palm was pressed against her back, sending her a stream of heat.
"I'll just change my clothes." Ye Zhen pulled his hand away, "Don't waste your spiritual energy."
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly, "It's nothing."
Ye Zhen took out the clothes from the space by herself, changed the wet clothes neatly, and then said to Mo Rongzhan, "Zhao Rao will definitely seek revenge on me, even if she can't find me, she won't let me go." Over the country of Jin."
"It seems that Jin and Qi don't need to be allies anymore." Ye Zhen spread her hands helplessly, "If the other three countries join forces to attack Jin, it will be a little troublesome."
"No." Mo Rongzhan said, "Yuan Guo won't."
Ye Zhen sat beside him, "I don't know if Mingxi found Huangfuchen in Qi, but you can rest assured that you will leave such an important matter to your son, Mingxi is not yet eight years old..."
"He can do a good job. Have more confidence in your son." Murong Zhan said with a smile, "He hasn't heard bad news so far, which proves that things are going well."
"Ah Zhan, what do you think Zhao Rao will do next?" Ye Zhen asked curiously, she saw Cheng Zheng being killed with her own eyes, if she can get strong soon, she should come to her for revenge.
Mo Rongzhan said softly, "Steady your throne."
Ye Zhen was surprised, "Did you do something?"
"If Zhao Rao can stabilize her position this time, then she will have a chance to take revenge. If she can't, then don't worry." Mo Rongzhan rubbed her head, "I haven't slept all night, sleep first In a while."
"Yeah." Ye Zhen leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Who else in Qi will help her?"
"Song Hongao." Mo Rongzhan said, "Those former ministers of Zhao Yong."
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows, without Cheng Zheng, Zhao Rao could truly become an emperor.
…
…
Song Hongao walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the first thing he saw was Zhao Rao standing in the center of the hall, with her back to him, facing Cheng Zheng who was lying on the ground.
"I have seen the emperor." Song Hongao saluted. To Zhao Rao, he did not object to her becoming the emperor of Qi. He resigned before because he felt that Cheng Zheng's actions were harsh and heartless, and he did not want to be with him.
"How did you know that he locked Zhao Ning in Cheng's house?" Zhao Rao's voice was hoarse and calm.
Song Hongao said, "Murongyi left the capital city alone, without even a carriage, only a donkey, so I had doubts in my heart, and after a few days of searching, I finally found the fifth princess."
"That's not what I asked." Zhao Rao turned her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and all the hatred seemed to have been hidden by her.
"Your Majesty, when the first emperor, I knew that the Cheng family had a dungeon." Song Hongao said, he is Zhao Yong's confidant, and the capital city has no secrets for him.
Zhao Rao's eyes were cold, "You asked Lu Yaoyao to save Zhao Ning."
"I just found out that Lu Yaoyao is still alive today." Song Hongao lowered his eyes. The news was good, but he did not expect that Lu Yaoyao had killed Cheng Zheng.
"I definitely want her to die." Zhao Rao's eyes shot out intense hatred.
Song Hongao looked at her silently, "What you have to do now is not to kill Lu Yaoyao, but to stabilize the court that is about to be turbulent."
Since Zhao Yong's death, Cheng Zheng's position in the Qi State has become detached. Some ministers in the court actually obeyed his orders instead of Zhao Rao's, and the clan had a grudge about the enthronement of a woman. Zhao Rao gave up the throne. If Zhao Rao could not calm down at this time, the Qi National Congress would fall into great turmoil.
"She killed Cheng Zheng!" Zhao Rao's voice was sharp, and she had tried very hard to control her grief, but as long as she thought that from now on, no one would love her like that, or have a generous embrace to accompany her, she would feel heartbroken. Being dug a hole, the cold feeling spread all over the body.
She had never hated someone so much, and had no such urge to kill with her own hands.
"I know, but now you are not just the eldest princess, you are the emperor of Qi." Song Hongao said, "I believe Master Cheng should also hope that you will be well and guard the country he laid for you."
Being an emperor is not free. The first thing to think about is not personal feelings, but the whole country.
Zhao Rao closed her eyes. Cheng Zheng had done so much just to give her a prosperous life.
She couldn't let his thoughts go to waste.
"You go down." Zhao Rao said, "Have someone prepare... Cheng Zheng's funeral, and bury him in the imperial mausoleum."
"Okay." Song Hongao glanced at Zhao Rao. He was a little surprised at Zhao Rao's calmness, and thought she would fall into grief. Now she seems to be very calm. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Zhao Rao seemed to grow up at this moment and become a real emperor.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your phoenix body. You are pregnant with Liujia, so you can't be too sad." Song Hongao said before going out.
"What did you say?" Zhao Rao was stunned. After she woke up, she asked everyone to back off, not knowing that Ye Zhen had mentioned her pregnancy before.
Song Hongao was surprised, "Lu Yaoyao took your pulse after you passed out and said that you were pregnant, didn't His Majesty know?"
Zhao Rao's complexion changed drastically, and his fingertips trembled a little, "I don't know."
She has Cheng Zheng's child? There are still descendants between them...
"The minister sent someone to invite the imperial doctor." Song Hongao said.
He withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation and said to Zhao Xiang, "Second Princess, you can go and accompany Your Majesty."
Zhao Xiang looked at Song Hongao, nodded slightly, and walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Soon, the imperial doctor came and confirmed that Zhao Rao was pregnant.
"God gave me back my life..." Zhao Rao caressed her lower abdomen, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were cold.
