State of Qi, the imperial palace.
Zhao Rao put down the letter in his hand, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on his fair and beautiful face. After sweeping away the haze of this period of time, Song Hongao finally dispatched troops. She had planned to send another general to replace him.
"Mother's queen." The little prince felt Zhao Rao's mood change, and finally a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time appeared on his face, he called out cautiously.
"Hmm." Zhao Rao rubbed his son's head, "What's wrong? Is it too boring here?"
The little prince shook his head lightly. The little prince who had just learned to speak didn't know how to express his thoughts. He only knew that the queen mother didn't look so scary today, and he didn't dare to look at her yesterday.
Zhao Rao picked him up, "The queen mother will accompany you to play in the imperial garden."
"Okay." The little prince happily showed his teeth like rice grains, and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Aunt Xiang..."
They had just walked out of Qianqing Palace when they saw Zhao Xiang approaching. The little prince happily broke away from Zhao Rao's hand and ran towards Zhao Xiang with short legs.
Zhao Rao smiled and said, "He is closer to you."
"Your Majesty is the little prince's mother, you are the closest to him." Zhao Xiang walked over with the little prince in his arms, "You seem to be in a good mood today."
"Song Hongao has dispatched troops." Zhao Rao said with a smile, and walked towards the Imperial Garden with Zhao Xiang, "And the people from Qi State who lead the troops to fight against you are absolutely unexpected."
Zhao Xiang looked at Zhao Rao suspiciously. The news of Qian Danqing's disappearance had already spread to Qi State, otherwise His Majesty would not have asked Song Hongao to send troops. Ning Guo should have no generals available. Who would Mo Mingyu ask to send troops
"Who else could it be? Except for Qian Danqing, no one in Ning country can fight Song Hongao. Even if they stay in Ning country, they are just some inexperienced lieutenants." Zhao Xiang said, although she didn't know Ning country very well, but The details are still known.
Zhao Rao smiled, "You are right, so it is Mo Mingxi who leads the troops this time."
"Who?" Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment, "Lu Yaoyao's son?"
"Yes, it's him." Zhao Rao said with a smile, "A half-grown child is actually going to lead troops to fight, Lu Yaoyao is really relieved."
Zhao Rao smiled happily, she seemed to have seen the great victory in Chanzhou, and when Song Hongao captured the Mo Mingxi brothers and sisters, the hatred in her heart could finally be vented.
"It's really..." Zhao Xiang was so surprised that he didn't know what to say. Song Hongao was a general who followed the late emperor in the Southern Expedition and Northern War. , even martial arts is not as good as Song Hongao.
"Isn't this better? Don't waste time." Zhao Rao said with a smile.
Zhao Xiang said, "I'm a little worried, Mo Mingxi...it seems not that simple."
"No matter how difficult it is, he is just a young man." Zhao Rao didn't like hearing this, and now she was expecting Song Hongao to bring Mo Mingxi back.
"Kite..." The little prince pointed to the bird in the sky and called out in a crisp voice.
Zhao Xiang smiled and said, "That's a little bird."
The little prince pouted, "It's a kite."
"I'll ask someone to bring the kite." Zhao Rao held his son's hand, the cruelty in his eyes was replaced by tenderness.
Zhao Xiang looked at her. Whenever someone or something related to Lu Yaoyao was mentioned, Zhao Rao would fall into uncontrollable hatred, and his expression would sometimes become hideous, especially in the recent period. Until she smiled so softly.
It would be a good thing if Mo Mingxi could be caught, but I'm afraid...
The little prince was taken by the palace people to fly a kite, Zhao Rao and Zhao Xiang stood aside and watched.
"Your Majesty." Zhao Xiang called softly.
"Huh?" Zhao Rao was in a good mood, with a smile on his face all the time.
Zhao Xiang really couldn't bear to say the troublesome words, she hoped that Zhao Rao's smile could be kept, "Except for the imperial capital, monsters have appeared in other places, I heard that even in the barracks."
"Military camp?" The smile on Zhao Rao's face stopped. She had forgotten that there is still a greater unknown danger in Qi. Not long ago, there were news from all over the place that there was a beast. From the portrait, She didn't feel like a beast, but more of a monster.
"Yes, there is more than one. There was a monster in the barracks before, but it was stopped by another monster. It seems that General Song saved that monster." Zhao Xiang said.
Zhao Rao laughed, "It seems that monsters have human nature and know how to repay favors."
"Your Majesty..." Zhao Xiang frowned, that's not what she wanted to say.
"I know what you're going to say." Zhao Rao said flatly, then turned and walked to the other side, "The appearance of the monsters was accidental, haven't they disappeared now? As long as they don't harm the people, that's fine."
Zhao Xiang frowned, "I don't think it's an accident, what if it happens again?"
"Kill." Zhao Rao's eyes flashed with killing intent, "Monsters are always beasts, and they cannot be rivals with us."
If only it were that easy. Although Zhao Xiang didn't see monsters with his own eyes, he always felt that they were not just ordinary animals.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, we must maintain our strength." Zhao Xiang reminded vaguely, hoping that Zhao Rao would not pour out all his power for revenge this time, their treasury was finally filled.
Zhao Rao glanced at her, "Do you think I will take revenge like before, no matter what?"
"No, I dare not think so." Zhao Xiang said.
"Even if I want to do this, I still have the emperor." Zhao Rao looked up at her son who was not far away, how could she give him a dilapidated state of Qi in the future.
For her son, she will not do what she did before.
Hearing Zhao Rao's words, Zhao Xiang felt a little relieved, at least she still had some scruples in her heart.
"By the way, have you found out where Murong Zhan and Lu Yaoyao are?" Zhao Rao asked, their daughter had just become the concubine of Ning Kingdom, they were not in Ning Kingdom but they were missing, and they didn't know where they went, and they What a conspiracy.
Zhao Xiang said, "I have asked people to inquire, and there should be news soon."
"En." Zhao Rao nodded, she hadn't seen Lu Yaoyao for a long time, if she saw her again, she would definitely see the pained look on Lu Yaoyao's face.
"Queen, queen, fly up." The little prince shouted happily, the kite had already flown into the sky.
Zhao Rao showed a gentle smile.
At this moment, a shadow appeared on the ground, and a huge eagle flew from the sky at some point, everyone was stunned.
"Big bird..." The little prince pointed at the big eagle and called out.
Zhao Rao's expression changed, "Emperor!"
The big eagle descended from the sky and rose into the sky with the little prince in its mouth.
"No!" Zhao Rao screamed sharply, "Hurry up and save the little prince!"
