Both Ye Chunnan and Tang Zhen knew that the imperial lists wanted for them were just for show, but they still showed some reluctance and were sent to the imperial study room before they saluted Murong Ke.
"What about Ayi and the others?" Murong Ke asked, he wanted to know if Ayi's family had returned safely.
"Your Majesty, the little prince will send the little princess and the child back to the palace to rest first." Ye Chunnan said.
Murong Ke looked at Tang Zhen, "Is there any danger on the road?"
Tang Zhen replied, "The road was safe and sound. Cheng Zheng's death has dealt a heavy blow to Qi. They should be busy with the funeral now."
"Ever since I posted a wanted warrant, the imperial court has not been very peaceful. When you come back this time, the threshold is probably not calm." A slight smile appeared on the corner of Murong Ke's mouth, and in the eyes of the two of them, it seemed that they were gloating. .
"What do you mean?" Ye Chunnan was stunned, how could the court be so uneasy
Murong Ke smiled meaningfully, "There are quite a few people who complain about you."
"That can only prove that we are dedicated to our duties, and the emperor suddenly wants to withdraw his military power, so that's why some people are afraid." Ye Chunnan said, he asked himself for so many years, no matter what aspect he would not let people find fault.
Tang Zhen frowned slightly, but looked worried.
Murong Ke glanced at them, "I believe in you, and naturally I believe in other people in the court who have been reused by me. If you can persuade Murong Zhan to come back, I will be even happier."
"Then the emperor should give up." Ye Chunnan said bluntly, "Maybe Yaoyao is already on her way to Huaguo."
"What?" Murong Ke's expression changed, "Are they going to sea?"
They never mentioned it to him!
"I heard from Yaoyao that if the matter here is resolved, they will go to Huaguo." Even An Ge left with his father, so it should be a matter of time before Yaoyao and the others.
"They won't just leave like this." Murong Ke came back to his senses and shook his head firmly, "If Yaoyao really wants to go to sea, she will come back and take Mingyu away with her."
Ye Chunnan nodded slightly, he almost forgot that Mingyu was still here.
Just as he was talking, Ford's voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Song is asking to see you."
"Come in." Murong Ke said softly.
Song Jiong strode in. After saluting, he couldn't wait for Murong Ke to speak. He had already said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Rao of Qi State sent someone to deliver a letter to you."
Zhao Rao sent someone to deliver a letter
Ye Chunnan and Tang Zhen exchanged glances and looked at Murong Ke at the same time.
"Where's the letter?" Murong Ke looked calm, as if he had guessed that Zhao Rao would send a letter.
The handwriting of this letter is graceful and beautiful, and it can be seen that it was written by a woman at a glance. When Murong Ke saw Zhao Rao's handwriting, he knew that it was not Zhao Rao's handwriting, and it should be written by someone else.
"Your Majesty, what did Zhao Rao say?" Ye Chunnan asked in a low voice.
Murong Ke's face was gloomy, "She wants Jin Guo to hand over Yaoyao to prevent the two countries from going to war."
"What?" Anger appeared on Tang Zhen's face, feeling the malice from Zhao Rao's letter.
"If Cheng Zheng hadn't put the little concubine under house arrest, Yaoyao would not have killed him. Cheng Zheng's death is simply his own fault." Tang Zhen said angrily, for fear that Murong Ke would really push Ye Zhen out.
Murong Ke didn't speak, but silently handed the letter to Ye Chunnan.
Ye Chunnan took it over and looked at it, and his eyes became cold, "Zhao Rao is turning black and white! Without mentioning Cheng Zheng's house arrest of the princess, he actually said that Yaoyao sneaked into the capital city to assassinate Cheng Zheng.
"Of course she only said that she was justified." Murong Ke said lightly, "It's not her sinister intentions."
"This letter is just to make Yaoyao the person who will be condemned by the people of Jin Kingdom in the future." Tang Zhen said coldly. Zhao Rao didn't directly declare war on Jin Guo. Someone must be pointing her behind her back. Yay, what is she going to do
He will definitely do something that will make the people of Jin Kingdom resent Yaoyao for killing Cheng Zheng.
However, if Yaoyao was handed over, Zhao Rao would definitely kill her.
"I won't agree." Murong Ke said lightly, "Who sent the letter?"
"It's the envoy of Qi State." Song Jiong replied.
Murong Ke said coldly, "Go back to them, Lu Yaoyao is the princess of our Kingdom of Jin, and will not be handed over to the Kingdom of Qi easily."
Song Jiong knew Murong Ke's answer a long time ago and was not surprised.
"Your Majesty, if you do this, the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Qi will definitely go to war." Ye Chunnan said in a deep voice, "Zhao Rao must know that Yaoyao is no longer the queen of the Kingdom of Jin. It will cause dissatisfaction among some people, and if it is not handed over, there will also be people who will disagree and be in a dilemma, which will not be beneficial to Jin Guo."
"It's indeed a dilemma, but if Jin Guo can't even keep Yaoyao, what's the point?" Murong Ke asked coldly.
Ye Chunnan said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't forget that in addition to being the Queen of Jin Kingdom, Yaoyao was also the Heavenly Concubine of Yuan Kingdom. Now she is not in Jin Kingdom, but in Yuan Kingdom. Go to Yuan Guo."
Tang Zhen grabbed Ye Chunnan's skirt angrily when he heard the evasive words, "Do you know what I'm talking about? Yaoyao is your sister, don't you want to die?"
"It's not that he will die, but choose a better way to deal with Zhao Rao." Ye Chunnan said, "This can at least delay the time."
"There is no need to delay. If there is a war, I can lead the army." Tang Zhen said.
Ye Chunnan said helplessly, "If you really want to go to war, you don't need to go to the battlefield. Yaoyao is my sister, so I don't want to protect her."
Murong Ke looked at Ye Chunnan deeply, "Is this Yaoyao's meaning?"
"Yes." Ye Chunnan turned to look at Murong Ke, "Yaoyao will find a way to avoid war."
"...that letter?" Tang Zhen remembered, Yaoyao asked Lin Zhiran to deliver a letter to Ye Chunnan, did she already guess that Zhao Rao would do this
Murong Ke said flatly, "There is no unity in the world, and war is definitely inevitable."
"Yaoyao said that this is her personal enmity, and she doesn't want to implicate Jin Guo, and she doesn't want other people to sacrifice for her." Ye Chunnan said.
Tang Zhen could only say, "Then listen to Yaoyao."
Murong Ke looked at Ye Chunnan, "What does Yaoyao want to do?"
"I don't know, you also know that Yaoyao has always had her own ideas." Ye Chunnan said helplessly, "Qi should not go to war at this time, Cheng Zheng is dead, who can replace him to go to war, besides, Zhao Rao's position may not be secure."
Zhao Rao took the throne from her younger brother at the beginning, but now that her big backer is gone, who knows if the ministers of Qi will listen to her
Let's just wait and see.
"Then do as Yaoyao wants." Murong Ke said.
