Ye Zhen and the others only spent one night in the small house, and started on the road before dawn the next day. They didn't stop and rest along the way, and finally approached Donglai three days later. Song Jiong didn't continue on the road, but found a Ye Zhen lived in the farmhouse.
"Why don't you keep going?" Ye Zhen asked, she desperately wanted to see her father, she wanted to leave Xiliang, and she could reach Donglai after another day, why did she stop again
Shen Yi said in a low voice, "Madam, Donglai was captured by Lord Ye, and the King of Xiliang sent troops to support him. I heard that Tuobaqiu led the troops to Hirai, where he blocked Lord Ye's army. If we go to Donglai Lai, we have to go through Hirai, we can’t just pass by like this, we will be recognized by the priests.”
Ye Zhen asked in surprise, "My father has captured Donglai?"
"Yes, Lord Ye used his troops like a god, and he defeated Donglai together with Jin Lou. I believe that Hirai will be captured soon." Shen Yi said.
Song Jiong said beside him, "This time the Xiliang faction is Tuoba Qiu, the number one general in Xiliang, even Tuoba Xuanyuan can't match his might."
"What is the relationship between Tuoba Qiu and Tuoba Xuanyuan?" Ye Zhen asked.
"The two are cousins." Song Jiong said.
Ye Zhen was stunned, "Then Tuoba Qiu is also Wan Yanxi's uncle, didn't he help Wan Yanxi, instead he took refuge in the Witch King?"
Shen Yi said, "I heard that the two have always been at odds, and Tuoba Qiu was single-handedly pulled up by Qi Ruoshui."
"Then how long are we going to stay here?" Ye Zhen asked with a slight frown.
"You are here, I'm going to inquire about the news." Song Jiong said, "If there is a chance to leave Hirai, we will leave at night."
Ye Zhen had no choice but to nod her head, temporarily staying in this farmhouse. Although it is a farmhouse, it is very clean and looks good.
Now she is almost three months pregnant, although her stomach is still not visible, but she still wants to leave here as soon as possible, one more day in Xiliang, one more day of worry.
"Is there no news about the Priest Hall yet?" Ye Zhen asked Shen Yi in a low voice. He is the leader of the dark guard, and he must have better news than anyone else. Besides, he has been the only one by his side for so many days, and the other dark guards are not at all. Did not see.
Shen Yi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Ye Zhen, "The subordinates don't know yet, and haven't received any news."
Ye Zhen looked at Shen Yi calmly, "Did something happen to Murong Ke? Don't hide it from me, I will find out sooner or later."
"Your Majesty..." Shen Yi did already know the news that Murong Ke was locked in the dungeon, but he couldn't say it out. He felt that if Your Majesty knew that the sixth prince was tortured by Qi Ruoshui, he would definitely want to go back and save him.
"Shen Yi!" Ye Zhen called him coldly, "What happened?"
"Mother, Murong Ke didn't escape, he was caught by Qi Ruoshui and locked up in the dungeon..." Shen Yi said in a low voice, "This subordinate has already asked someone to find a way to rescue him."
Ye Zhen felt that Shen Yi was perfunctory to her, she said softly, "Qi Ruoshui won't kill Murong Ke easily, did he just lock him in the dungeon, or did he do something to him?"
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, "Mother, I don't know what Qi Ruoshui did, but... I heard... I heard that Murong Ke's screams are often heard in the dungeon."
"That's because Qi Ruoshui threw the pavilion master into the Gu worm cave." Song Jiong appeared at the door with a pale face, "Teng Ye sent me the news that Qi Ruoshui wanted to train our pavilion master to become a gu worm." people… "
Ye Zhen stood up suddenly, her face changed suddenly, "What did you say?"
"Qi Ruoshui has already left the Priest Hall to go to Anhe City. Teng Ye will rescue people in the next two days. I don't know anyone who can detoxify. Aren't you a medical skill? Can you cure the Gu poison on our pavilion master? ?” Song Jiong stared straight at Ye Zhen.
Shen Yi immediately said, "Our mother must return to Qingzhou, and cannot stay in Xiliang."
"Even if our pavilion master is rescued from the priest's hall, we won't be able to make it to Qingzhou." Song Jiong shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, you can't stay!" Shen Yi looked at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was still immersed in the shock, she asked Song Jiong, "You said, Qi Ruoshui threw him into the Gu worm cave to train him into a Gu man?"
"Yes, our pavilion master was bitten by Gu insects..." Song Jiong's voice was a little choked up, "Empress, our pavilion master was caught by Qi Ruoshui because of you, and now only you can save him... "
Shen Yi said, "Your Majesty, you are still pregnant, so you can't go back in a hurry."
"There's no need to go back to the priest's hall. Let's go back to the previous house. It's the safest place. Teng Ye will send the pavilion master there." Song Jiong said hastily.
Ye Zhen closed her eyes gently, "I'll go back with you."
"Your Majesty!" Shen Yi's eyes widened, "You can't go back, it's too dangerous!"
"If Murong Ke hadn't rescued me from the priest's hall, I would still be restrained by Qi Ruoshui." Ye Zhen said in a low voice, she couldn't let Murong Ke be trained into a gu person.
A Gu person... is completely unconscious, manipulated like a puppet, and his whole body is poisonous, so he can't live for three years at all.
How could someone so proud of Murong Ke be allowed to be manipulated by Qi Ruoshui
"But, ma'am... Donglai is ahead, Lord Ye is there, don't you want to go back?" Shen Yi asked.
Ye Zhen nodded, "I want to go back more than anyone else, but... I can't watch Murong Ke being trained as a Gu."
Song Jiong was overjoyed, "Ma'am, let's go back immediately."
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded.
"Your Majesty!" Shen Yi still objected, he was worried that he would meet the people sent by the Priest Palace to arrest them this time, so he finally got here, and he must not be arrested again.
Ye Zhen said, "Qi Ruoshui went to Anhe City, and my father and Jin Lou defeated Xiliang again. The Priest Palace definitely doesn't have the extra thought to hunt us down now, we won't be in danger."
Shen Yi thought that he was not only worried about her safety, but also worried about the child in her womb, which was the emperor's first child, so it's better not to make any mistakes.
"Master Shen, I am very clear about my own body. Didn't you say that Hongying and Jian Jia are both in Xiliang? Let them come to us."
"Yes, empress." Shen Yi sighed in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't change empress's mind, how should he tell the emperor about it
Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "Don't tell the emperor what I left behind for now."
"..." Shen Yi was stunned, could the empress know how to read minds
"Let's rest for a while and leave after lunch." Ye Zhen said to Song Jiong.
Song Jiong nodded happily, "Okay, I'm going to prepare lunch now."
