1538. Chapter 1538 I Want to Go Too

The whole country of Qi was in mourning. The emperor passed away and the whole country mourned. Although Zhao Yong was too romantic during his lifetime, he was able to make the country of Qi strong and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Now that he died of illness in his prime, no matter what, it was a great event. Things that make people sad.

The people outside the palace are mourning, but the palace is not peaceful now.

As soon as Zhao Rao returned to the imperial capital, she learned that Zhao Yong was critically ill. When she was about to enter the palace, she was blocked from the palace by the eldest prince and the second prince.

The second prince had already lost hope, but he wanted to take revenge for his mother and concubine.

He tricked the eldest prince into thinking that the emperor was determined to make the third prince the heir apparent. The two people who had been enemies for a lifetime joined forces and wanted to make a will before Zhao Yonglin's death to make the eldest prince the new king.

At that time, they wanted to kill Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng, but they underestimated Zhao Yong's ability. Even though Zhao Yong's illness suddenly worsened, he was not unprepared. He endured without moving just to wait for Zhao Rao and the others to come back.

In order to clear the future obstacles for the third prince, Zhao Yong showed weakness and looked at how far these two sons could achieve. Unexpectedly, these two sons did not have much other abilities, but they were more cruel than anyone else. Even his own brothers and sisters refused to do so. Let it go.

Naturally, the eldest prince and the second prince were arrested. Cheng Zheng led his troops to control them all. Zhao Rao and the third prince successfully met Zhao Yong.

"What are you thinking about?" When Cheng Zheng walked into the imperial study, he saw Zhao Rao standing beside the desk in a daze, so he walked over lightly.

Zhao Rao came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing."

"Thinking about the emperor? I mean... the late emperor." Cheng Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at Zhao Rao, who was dressed plainly, knowing that she must be in a bad mood at this time. Although she and Zhao Yong did not seem to have a close father-daughter relationship before, But she still has deep feelings for Zhao Yong.

"I didn't expect him to be so sudden..." Zhao Rao whispered. When she heard that Zhao Yong was seriously ill, she thought that just like before, she just needed to take medicine and she would be fine. In the worst case, she would come to Jin Kingdom to find Lu Yaoyao again. Isn’t Lu Yaoyao a miracle doctor?

He just left like this.

Cheng Zheng whispered, "The late emperor's health was not very good to begin with."

"How is the emperor?" Zhao Rao shook his head, not wanting to mention Zhao Yong again.

"I just cried myself to sleep." Before Zhao Yong died, Hui Bin died suddenly. The third prince believed it was true, but Zhao Rao and the others knew that Zhao Yong was guarding Hui Bin.

Zhao Rao sighed softly, "By the way, how's it going at Da'an Mansion?"

"Mo Ronghui started a rebellion, and I'm afraid someone else is behind it. Although we are in the midst of a national mourning, we cannot stand by and watch this happen." Cheng Zheng said.

"Do you want to go to Da'an Mansion?" Zhao Rao turned around and looked at him.

Cheng Zheng stretched out his hand to caress her cheek, "The threat from the Da'an Mansion is not just against the Jin Kingdom. Many of those who took the poisonous pills are from our Qi Kingdom."

"I know, we are sending troops to help, so don't go there yourself." Zhao Rao said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I haven't married you yet, so everything will be fine." Cheng Zheng said with a smile.

Zhao Rao glared at him lightly, "Who would have thought of this?"

Cheng Zheng smiled and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. Princess Ning is pregnant and cannot come. Murong Yi is already on the way."

"Of course Aning can't come, and the same goes for Mo Rongyi." Zhao Rao said.

…

…

Jinguo, the imperial palace.

"Your Highness, Da'an Mansion is too dangerous now, we can't go there." Yan Xiaoliu asked everyone in the palace to go down, and went into the house to talk with Mingxi.

"It's not safe in the first place, why can't we go?" Mingxi packed up his things neatly, "My father is going to set off today to conquer Da'an Mansion. My father will definitely go with him. We will leave when they set off."

Yan Xiaoliu didn't expect that Mingxi hadn't changed his mind yet, "Your Highness..."

"Don't you want to know the truth?" Mingxi asked, "The truth you know from others is different from the truth you find out by yourself."

"I want to go to Da'an Mansion alone." Yan Xiaoliu lowered his head. He was afraid that Mingxi would be in danger. Mingxi was the noble prince of the Jin Kingdom. How could he dare to take risks with the prince in Da'an Mansion.

Mingxi raised her head and looked at him calmly, "What danger do you think I will be in? Xiaoliu, there are not many people who can hurt me."

"But..." Yan Xiaoliu was still worried.

"I've almost packed my things and made arrangements outside. Are you leaving or not?" Mingxi asked calmly.

Yan Xiaoliu took a deep breath, "I'm going to pack my things!"

He turned around and opened the door, and a pink ball fell at his feet.

"Mingyu?" Yan Xiaoliu looked at the pink dumpling at his feet in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Where are you going? I'm going too." Mingyu got up from the ground and looked at Mingxi and Yan Xiaoliu curiously with a pair of bright eyes.

Mingxi said, "We are not going anywhere, please go back quickly."

"Liar." Mingyu cried out softly, "I just heard it clearly. You are leaving the palace, and I am going too."

"No!" Mingxi and Yan Xiaoliu said at the same time.

Mingyu pursed his lips, "If you don't take me, I'll have someone tell my grandfather and uncle."

The emperor's father and mother are not in the palace, but there are still grandfather and uncle, and they will not be allowed to leave the palace.

Yan Xiaoliu and Mingxi looked at each other, "Mingyu, we are not going out to play."

"I'm not going to play either." Mingyu said.

"You are too young to go out with us." Mingxi frowned. It didn't matter that he went to Da'an Mansion by himself, but he definitely couldn't take Mingyu with him.

Mingyu glared at Mingxi, "You are as old as me, only an hour older than me."

"That's your brother too." Mingxi said, "Mingyu, we are going to a very dangerous place. We really can't take you there. When we go down to play in the palace, I will take you there again, okay?"

"No, no, I just want to go with you." Mingyu hugged Yan Xiaoliu's arm tightly, "I won't make any noise, brother, Xiaoliu, just take me with you."

Yan Xiaoliu was worried. Going out with Mingxi was already very risky, and he could never take Mingyu out again.

"Okay, you go back and pack your things." Mingxi nodded in agreement and glanced at Yan Xiaoliu lightly.

"Your Highness..." Yan Xiaoliu called.

Mingyu cheered happily, "I'll clean it up right away."

Seeing Fenduanzi running out quickly, Yan Xiaoliu looked at Mingxi with disapproval, "Your Highness, Mingyu doesn't understand anything, how could he..."

"Yes, let's leave the palace immediately before she comes here." Mingxi said.

Yan Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, then left Mingyu like this?

"Hurry up?" Mingxi asked, "Are you going to wait here for Mingyu to come to you?"

"No, no, let's go." Yan Xiaoliu said immediately.
