Chapter 1972 Rainy Night

Seeing Zhao Xiang fainting, Zhao Rao's heart felt as if something had hit him, it was painful and numb.

"Send the second princess to Yangxin Hall, change her clothes, and ask for the imperial doctor." Zhao Rao supported Zhao Xiang and calmly gave the order, "Prepare the carriage and go to Stone Village!"

The shadow guard's face changed, "Your Majesty, there is an adult in Stone Village..."

"So, the fifth princess is really in Stone Village." Zhao Rao looked at them coldly, "Lead the way!"

She really had an uneasy feeling. I don't know if it was because of Zhao Ning or Cheng Zheng. Zhao Xiang came here regardless of everything. He didn't even have a carriage, let alone a maid beside him. Cheng Zheng must have done something to the Song family. What.

Cheng Zheng promised her not to hurt Zhao Ning.

He did all this without telling her. If the result was not what he wanted, he would have to bear all the criticism from the censor alone. He tried his best to give her a peaceful Qi country.

But, she doesn't need him to do this.

They still have a lot of time and there is no need to rush for success using this method.

The carriage broke through the rain curtain and ran straight out of the city gate.

The rain is getting heavier.

Ye Zhen helped Zhao Ning get into the carriage, while Lin Zhiran hugged Brother Jun. Brother Jun was already drowsy and lying on Lin Zhiran's shoulder.

"Sister-in-law, can we leave?" Zhao Ning looked at Ye Zhen excitedly, stroking her belly with one hand. Can she really go back?

"Yes, Xue Lin will take you away first. A-Zhan and I will go find you after handling the rest." Ye Zhen comforted Zhao Ning and told her not to worry.

Zhao Ning nodded gently, she believed Ye Zhen.

The carriage was walking in the night, with Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan sitting in the front of the carriage. Only when Zhao Ning and the others were sent out of the village and the carriage reached the official road could they return to the royal capital with confidence.

Bang——

A flash of lightning lit up half the sky.

The horse neighed and the carriage stopped hastily.

In front of them, there were dozens of figures standing. The torches flickered in the heavy rain. Ye Zhen saw Cheng Zheng standing in the middle.

"A Zhan, I'll deal with Cheng Zheng, you send Zhao Ning and the others away." Ye Zhen whispered to Murong Zhan.

"Is that okay?" Mo Rongzhan held her hand. Even though he knew that her cultivation would be absolutely fine in the human world, he still couldn't bear the thought of her having any accidents.

Ye Zhen blinked, "Are you underestimating me or overestimating Cheng Zheng?"

"Then be careful." Mo Rongzhan smiled, held up a big black umbrella in his hand, got out of the carriage, and walked back to Zhao Ning's carriage without even looking back.

Cheng Zheng squinted slightly and looked at the figure from behind in the night. He looked familiar, but the appearance of that person was something he had never seen before.

Murong Zhan stood at the shaft of the carriage as the carriage passed by, as if the shadow guards in front were transparent.

"Who are you?" Cheng Zheng was wary. It must be Zhao Ning in the carriage, but he couldn't see who the person who saved them was.

Not Song Hongao! Not even Song Hongao’s person! He actually didn't know that there were other people in Wangdu City who wanted to save Zhao Ning.

"Cheng Zheng, after all, you used to be a great general. You arrested a woman and a child and threatened others and let the world know about it. You are so embarrassed." Ye Zhen held an umbrella and came out of the carriage with a smile on her lips and a look in her eyes. Cool.

The first carriage was already approaching the shadow guards. Cheng Zheng waved his hand and several shadow guards rushed towards the carriage. Before they even got close to the shaft, they were already bounced away.

Cheng Zheng's eyes flashed with light, and he looked at Ye Zhen even more coldly.

This man and woman... gave him such a weird feeling.

"I advise you not to stop him." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "If something happens to Zhao Ning here, Zhao Rao will not have an easy time in the future."

Cheng Zheng's hand clenched the hilt of his sword, knowing that he was facing a formidable opponent today.

"Rescue the fifth princess." Cheng Zheng decided to ask all the shadow guards to stop the man. He walked towards the strange woman alone with his sword.

He could see that the man just now cared about this woman. If he caught this woman, he would naturally make the man submit.

Merongyi's carriage kept moving forward. Even if all the shadow guards surrounded him, they still could not stop him.

The shadow guards were bounced away, however, the man did not kill them.

"Are you from the Kingdom of Jin?" Cheng Zheng stopped looking at the shadow guards and focused all his attention on Ye Zhen.

"Oh, you guessed that right." Ye Zhen nodded, "We are going to take Zhao Ning back, and by the way... we plan to prevent you from doing such willful things in the future."

Cheng Zheng's thin lips curved into a mocking smile, "So, you want to kill me, just because of you?"

"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded seriously, "I was originally unwilling to take action, but if you don't die, it won't be very good for Jin Guo."

"Haha." Cheng Zheng sneered, "Murong Ke sent you here."

Ye Zhen landed easily from the car, her skirt was wet from the rain, she frowned slightly, "I really don't like rainy weather."

"Zhao Rao is already the emperor of Qi. Why are you still so ambitious? You were not like this when Zhao Yong was alive." Ye Zhen said suspiciously while carefully stepping on the water-free area.

This woman must have met him before!

Cheng Zheng looked at Ye Zhen with stern eyes, recalling when he had seen her.

Her appearance was ordinary, except for her eyes, which were still illuminated like stars in the night.

A name flashed through his mind, and he quickly denied it, impossible! How could it be that person.

"Your people can't get up." Ye Zhen said. Seeing that Zhao Ning's carriage had disappeared into the night, she was sure that they could leave safely.

Next, there was only Cheng Zheng.

Cheng Zheng looked at her silently.

"If A Yi really usurps the throne, do you plan to use him to attack the Yuan Kingdom? The letters between you and Shui Yichen are completely false, right?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.

"Yes." Cheng Zheng nodded, knowing that he must kill this woman today no matter what.

The long sword in his hand cut a ray of light in the rain, sharp and cold.

A silver whip, like a dragon, quickly wrapped around his wrist.

What a speed! Cheng Zheng's heart sank. This was the first time in so many years that he had seen someone take action so quickly.

"It's right to want to protect the one you love." Ye Zhen held an umbrella in one hand and a silver whip in the other, rising into the air and slamming the whip onto Cheng Zheng's shoulder, "You shouldn't hurt A Yi. We shouldn’t treat Zhao Ning and a child like that.”

Cheng Zheng roared and tried to use his inner strength to break free from the grip of the silver whip.

Ye Zhen did not use the Sun-Controlling Whip. She knew very well that it could not be used on the human continent. The silver whip in her hand was obtained from Tang Zhen before.

She has no internal strength, but a little spiritual power can limit Cheng Zheng's movements.

A silver arrow shot out from her wrist and entered Cheng Zheng's chest.

Not far away, there were urgent footsteps.
