Since Cheng Zheng's death, Zhao Rao has not really fallen asleep for a long time. She has never dreamed of Cheng Zheng. Every time before falling asleep, she hopes that he can come to meet her in her dream. He couldn't calm down even more, and when he closed his eyes, he saw the scene of Lu Yaoyao killing Cheng Zheng.
It was rare for her to be calm today. She had already lost too much, and she didn't want to lose any more.
She finally dreamed of Cheng Zheng.
His eyes were still affectionate, but there was a touch of sadness. Although he didn't say anything, Zhao Rao understood what he meant. He hoped that she would live well, take his child with her, and live well...for him.
When Zhao Rao woke up, it was already noon the next day.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Zhao Xiang, who had been standing by the side, heard the movement and looked at her happily.
"Have you been here all this time?" Seeing that Zhao Xiang's hair was a little disheveled and her clothes were still the same as yesterday, Zhao Rao knew that she had guarded her here all night.
Zhao Xiang asked in a low voice, "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"
"No..." Zhao Rao shook his head lightly and put his hands on his lower abdomen, "My child..."
"It's okay, it's been saved." Zhao Xiang said hurriedly, "Take the medicine yesterday, and the doctor Tang said that the pulse has stabilized."
Zhao Rao remained silent, gently stroking her lower abdomen, "Where is Song Hongao?"
"Marquis Zhen Guo waited outside all night." Zhao Xiang whispered.
"Let him come in." Zhao Rao said calmly, she knew that Lu Yaoyao would not easily give the medicine to Song Hongao, there must be conditions.
Zhao Xiang tidied Zhao Rao's hair, "You still need to rest, don't get angry about anything, everything will be discussed after the child is born."
"I know." Zhao Rao smiled. She felt the danger of the child yesterday, which completely woke her up.
"Then I'll let Zhen Guohou come in." Seeing that Zhao Rao seemed to have calmed down, Zhao Xiang felt relieved and distressed. It must be a choice to let Zhao Rao put down his hatred temporarily.
Song Hongao hadn't slept all night and looked a bit haggard. When he saw Zhao Xiang coming out, he took a step forward, "Your Majesty, she..."
"Let you in." Zhao Xiang lowered his voice, "Zhen Guohou, try not to make her angry again."
"Try your best." Song Hongao nodded heavily. Zhao Rao might not be able to calm down after hearing what he was going to say later.
Song Hongao stood outside the curtain, he lowered his head, and recounted the conversation he had with Ye Zhen yesterday.
"Ten years..." Zhao Rao's eyes flashed sullenly, and soon she calmed down again, "Lu Yaoyao really dares to say that."
What else can Lu Yaoyao not say now? She and Murong Zhan are simply invincible.
"Your Majesty, ten years is neither long nor short, but it is what you need most..." Song Hongao said in a low voice.
"Ten years from now, will the State of Qi be stronger than the State of Jin?" Zhao Rao asked lightly, "Can it defeat the State of Yuan?"
Song Hongao said, "There is nothing impossible. Lu Yaoyao will no longer be the concubine of Yuan Kingdom, and Murong Zhan will not return to Jin Kingdom to be the emperor."
Zhao Rao laughed mockingly, "Is there a difference?"
"Your Majesty, the medicine she gave yesterday... only lasts for one day." Song Hongao said helplessly, fearing that Zhao Rao would really refuse to agree.
"I didn't say I wouldn't agree." Zhao Rao said lightly, "She wants to give Mo Mingyu ten years, and I will definitely get it back from Mo Mingyu in the future."
Song Hongao understands that it is impossible for Zhao Rao to let go of her hatred, and it is already very good that she can give herself ten years.
"Your Majesty, it is also a good thing to hide your strength and bide your time." Song Hongao said.
Zhao Rao said, "Go and write a book."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Hongao breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.
…
…
According to the conditions proposed by Ye Zhen, Song Hongao wrote a contract, handed it to Zhao Rao for review, and sealed it with a jade seal. Song Hongao immediately sent someone to send it to Ye Zhen in Bailizhou.
Ye Zhen, who was about to go back to the city, received the contract letter sent by Qi State, and smiled with satisfaction. After talking to Shen Luoyang and the others, she was asked to return to the court with the whole army.
At the same time, she asked Mingxi to go to Shajiu City in person and hand over a letter to Song Hongao.
Looking at Ming Xi who resembled Murong Zhan, Song Hongao felt a little complicated. He had already heard that the five thousand elite soldiers he sent to attack were defeated by this child. Murong Zhan and Lu Yaoyao were already very evil. The existence of them, even their son is so scary at such a young age.
"You... came alone?" Song Hongao asked in surprise, Murong Zhan and the others had too much confidence in their son.
"That's right." Ming Xi nodded, "The things have been delivered, so I'm leaving."
Song Hongao asked, "Does Lingtang have anything else to say?"
"No." Mingxi replied simply and directly. Anyway, isn't everything that should be said written in the letter
"You... are planning to go back to the capital?" Since the two countries have ceased fighting for ten years, it is impossible for Murong Zhan and the others to stay in Bailizhou. He is a little curious about what they are going to do next.
Whether it is the Yuan Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, their existence is too powerful, no matter which emperor it is, it is impossible to treat them as ordinary people.
Ming Xi squinted and smiled at Song Hongao, "General Song seems to be very concerned about us."
"It's just a random question." Song Hongao said.
"Who knows, maybe we will go to Qi country for a while, I wonder if General Song will welcome you?" Mingxi asked sincerely.
"It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar," Song Hongao said.
Mingxi smiled, "General Song is really hospitable. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to leave when we go to Qi. The things have been delivered to you, so I'm leaving."
Before Song Hongao had time to say a few more words, Mingxi had already walked out in one swift motion.
He sighed softly and opened the envelope in his hand.
There was only a note in it.
Bed rest for three months.
Nothing more.
Song Hongao suddenly realized that the birth-preserving pill that Lu Yaoyao gave yesterday was not only for one day, but it was the medicine that could save the child.
"Really..." Song Hongao shook his head and chuckled, feeling helpless at Ye Zhen's cunning and teasing.
She still didn't seem to have changed anything, she had teased Zhao Yong before, but Zhao Yong, who never cared about women, seemed to have nothing to do with her.
Song Hongao turned around to see Zhao Rao, and euphemistically said what Ye Zhen meant.
"I see." Zhao Rao said lightly, not surprised, in her opinion, Lu Yaoyao was a cunning and despicable person.
"The emperor's body is weak now, so it's not suitable to travel long distances. It's better to rest in Shajiu City for a while." Song Hongao said.
Zhao Rao nodded, "You go back to the imperial capital first, I don't feel relieved after leaving for too long, you go and watch for me."
She didn't forget that there are still many people in the imperial capital who want to pull her down.
