When the carriage was approaching the station, Ye Zhen woke up from her sleep, opened her eyes and saw Mo Rongzhan with a gloomy expression.
She hasn't seen such a cold and gloomy look on Murong Zhan's face for a long time, he is always generous and gentle towards her, Ye Zhen reached out and gently covered his face, "A Zhan, what's wrong?"
Mo Rongzhan grabbed her hand and looked down at her, "Are you awake?"
"Did I have a nightmare again?" Ye Zhen walked up holding his hand, thinking that his face was ugly because she was talking in her sleep again.
"No, you slept very well just now, and I didn't even wake you up." Murong Zhan said with a smile, "I slept all afternoon and didn't even eat lunch."
Ye Zhen smiled a little embarrassedly, and asked with reddened cheeks, "I slept too deeply, what's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Mo Rongzhan touched her cheek, "It's a letter from Xiazhou, Lu Lingzhi is already in Anhe City."
"What did he go to Anhe City for?" Ye Zhen frowned. She hated Lu Lingzhi in the first place and was held hostage by him twice, but now she can't wait to kill him.
"I underestimated him before. He actually managed to lead the soldiers born in Anhe City to fight Wang Qu." Murong Zhan's voice was cold.
Ye Zhen was shocked when she heard the words, "Has something happened in Xiazhou?"
Mo Rongzhan lowered his eyes and smiled, "No, it's just that Wang Qu is not Lu Lingzhi's opponent in terms of formation, and he didn't break through the city to attack Anhe City."
"I think Lu Lingzhi must have hidden something from you before. Otherwise, how could he recruit so many subordinates in a short period of time, and everyone is willing to work for him. He may not be in Qi State. There are forces that we don't know about." Ye Zhen said.
When mentioning Qi Guo, Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly, and there was one thing he didn't tell Ye Zhen, and that was about Lu Shuang'er.
"Your Majesty, the post station has arrived." The carriage stopped, and Eunuch Fu's voice sounded outside.
Mo Rongzhan whispered to Ye Zhen, "Go inside to rest first, I have something to tell you later."
Ye Zhen looked at him suspiciously, helped his hand to get off the carriage.
"This is the post station in Weicheng?" Ye Zhen looked at the slightly luxurious house in front of her in surprise. This is probably the most luxurious post station she has ever seen. It doesn't mean that Weicheng is remote, although it doesn't mean that the people live in poverty, but it is a border. Why is this The station is so luxurious.
"It looks like that corrupt official's mansion, right?" Murong Ke handed the horse to Song Jiong, and walked over with a smile, "This mansion has been around for hundreds of years. I heard it was because the legendary queen of Jingguo liked to travel around the world. , I often pass through Weicheng, so the post here is a little more thoughtful, after so many years, it has actually become much simpler, and it used to be like a palace."
"So exaggerated?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile, looked around, and found that there were still some open spaces.
Murong Ke said with a smile, "I heard that Qi Yanling not only likes to travel around the world, but also likes to go to sea."
"I've read her biography, but when she went to sea, she was already a queen mother, and no one seems to know where she went." Ye Zhen said.
"When my prince grows up, we can also go to sea." Murong Zhan whispered beside her, and raised his eyes to look at Murong Ke, "Don't tell her about overseas affairs."
Murong Ke chuckled, "Are you still afraid that Yaoyao will go to sea alone?"
It's not that Mo Rongzhan is afraid that Ye Zhen will go to sea alone, he knows that this little girl doesn't like life in the palace, if she yearns for the excitement of going to sea, then she probably doesn't like being in the palace even more.
"You will accompany me later." Ye Zhen hooked Mo Rongzhan's finger and smiled.
"Okay." A smile appeared in Mo Rongzhan's eyes.
Murong Ke looked down and saw their entangled hands, a bitterness flashed in his eyes, he turned around first, "Okay, let's go to rest first."
The post station in Weicheng is indeed different from those in other places. Even the inside of the room looks much more comfortable. Mo Rongzhan did not reveal his identity. The people in the post station only regarded them as ordinary officials. After they were invited to check in, they never appeared again up.
"The officials at this post station are quite arrogant." Eunuch Fu came to the kitchen in person, Song Jiong was preparing dinner, and Hongying was helping him.
"That's right, looking at the scenery, there isn't even a cook." Song Jiong snorted, and asked him to cook for himself.
Eunuch Fu said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Song, these people will be dealt with sooner or later."
Song Jiong was so busy that he didn't even have time to look at Eunuch Fu, "This is dinner for the Empress, please take it first, Eunuch Fu."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Song." Eunuch Fu said with a smile.
"You're welcome." Song Jiong said.
Eunuch Fu brought the dinner to Ye Zhen and the others, and Jian Jia took it from outside the door, "Eunuch, I'll just take it in, the empress and the emperor are taking a bath."
"Miss Jianjia is here." Eunuch Fu said with a smile.
In the room, Ye Zhen was soaking in warm water. Behind her was Mo Rongzhan who was rubbing her shoulders. Both of them were breathing fast, especially Mo Rongzhan. He kissed Ye Zhen's smooth and white shoulders, "Yaoyao , you will drive me crazy."
Ye Zhen turned her head and smiled and kissed him, "I didn't make you bear it."
Except for the first time they met, Murong Zhan couldn't help asking her for a while. Later, he would hold back even if he wanted to, or he would just grab Ye Zhen's hand to solve the problem. Today he still wants to hold back, it's Ye Zhen Zhen took the initiative to sit on it, so he didn't continue to hold himself back.
"I'm afraid of hurting you." Murong Zhan bit lightly, "How dare you make fun of me."
"What did you want to tell me in the carriage just now?" Ye Zhen grabbed his troublesome hand on her chest, she still remembered what they were interrupted in the carriage just now.
Murong Zhan's hands around her chest froze slightly, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, and whispered, "It's about Lu Shuang'er."
"Lu Shuang'er?" Ye Zhen's shoulders froze, she looked back at him, "What did you say?"
"Lu Shuang'er is in Qi State." Mo Rongzhan looked down at her eyes. He knew that Lu Shuang'er was her heart knot. If it was not necessary, he would never want to mention this person in front of Ye Zhen for the rest of his life. "In the palace of Qi State inside."
Ye Zhen sat up straight in his arms, "What are you talking about? Lu Shuang'er is in the palace of Qi State, how could she be in the palace?"
"I don't know yet, but the news from the secret guard is that Lu Lingzhi has a younger sister who is very popular in the Qi Palace." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
"..." Ye Zhen looked at him silently, and said after a while, "Lu Shuang'er is really capable, I really underestimated her before, she has already been bestowed to death, she still has the ability to become the emperor's favorite concubine."
"It may not be her." Mo Rongzhan said.
Ye Zhen smiled, "Who else could there be besides her?"
"Yaoyao..." Mo Rongzhan held her in his arms.
"I just felt emotional." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "I don't want to be in a bad mood because of her."
