Chapter 1975 Growth
When Ye Zhen caught up with Mo Rongzhan and the others, the rain had stopped.
"I killed Cheng Zheng." Ye Zhen leaned on Mo Rongzhan's arms and looked at the carriage in front of her. She asked Xue Lin and the others to escort Zhao Ning back to the Kingdom of Jin first. Because of Cheng Zheng's death, Zhao Rao, in a short time, It was impossible to send someone to catch up. By the time she came to her senses, Zhao Ning should have returned to Jin Country safely.
If things go well in Weicheng, Zhao Ning and Merong Yi should meet halfway.
"Are you injured?" Mo Rongzhan didn't care about Cheng Zheng's life or death. He had to die anyway. He only cared about Ye Zhen.
"No." Ye Zhen closed her eyes, Zhao Rao's sad and hateful eyes appeared in her mind, "Zhao Rao saw me killing him with her own eyes, she knows who I am."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, this was inevitable, so he was not surprised, "Yeah."
"I can't bear to see Zhao Rao's appearance." Ye Zhen whispered. She couldn't bear it, but she didn't regret it.
She knew very well that if she was merciful and let Cheng Zheng go, who would be merciful to her family in the future?
If Cheng Zheng had not died, what would he have done to Mo Rongyi and Mingyu?
"Are you worried about Zhao Rao's revenge?" Mo Rongzhan felt that her clothes were damp, probably from the rain. His palm pressed against her back, sending a stream of heat to her.
"I'll just change my clothes." Ye Zhen pulled his hand away, "Don't waste your spiritual energy."
Mo Rongzhan smiled lightly, "This is nothing."
Ye Zhen took out the clothes from the space, changed the wet clothes neatly, and then said to Mo Rongzhan, "Zhao Rao will definitely seek revenge on me. Even if she can't find me, she won't let him go." Passing through the Kingdom of Jin."
"It seems that Jin State and Qi State no longer need to be allies." Ye Zhen spread her hands helplessly, "If the other three countries join forces to attack Jin State, it will be a bit troublesome."
"No." Morong Zhan said, "Yuan Guo won't."
Ye Zhen sat next to him, "I wonder if Mingxi has found Huangfu Chen in Qi State. You are really relieved to leave such an important matter to your son. Mingxi is not yet eight years old..."
"If he can do well, have more confidence in your son." Mo Rongzhan said funnyly, "He hasn't sent any bad news so far, which proves that things are going well."
"Azhan, what do you think Zhao Rao will do next?" Ye Zhen asked curiously. She saw Cheng Zheng being killed with her own eyes. If she could become stronger soon, she would probably come to her for revenge.
Mo Rongzhan said softly, "Secure your throne."
Ye Zhen was surprised, "Did you do something?"
"If Zhao Rao can stabilize her position this time, then she will have a chance to take revenge. If she can't, then there is no need to worry." Mo Rongzhan rubbed her head, "I haven't slept all night, so sleep first Later."
"Yes." Ye Zhen leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Who else in Qi will help her?"
"Song Hongao." Mo Rongzhan said, "Those old ministers of Zhao Yong."
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. Without Cheng Zheng, Zhao Rao could truly become an emperor.
…
…
When Song Hongao walked into the Yangxin Hall, the first thing he saw was Zhao Rao standing in the center of the hall. She turned her back to him and faced Cheng Zheng who was lying on the ground.
"I have met the emperor." Song Hongao saluted. As for Zhao Rao, he had no objection to her becoming the emperor of Qi. He resigned before because he felt that Cheng Zheng was harsh and ruthless and did not want to be associated with him.
"How did you know that he locked Zhao Ning in the Cheng family?" Zhao Rao's voice was hoarse and sounded calm.
Song Hongao said, "Murongyi left the royal capital alone, without even a carriage, only a donkey, so I had doubts in my heart, and after several days of inquiring, I found the fifth princess."
"That's not what I'm asking about." Zhao Rao turned around, her eyes bloodshot, and all her hatred seemed to have been hidden by her.
"Your Majesty, during the late emperor's time, I knew that the Cheng family had a dungeon." Song Hongao said, he was Zhao Yong's confidant, and the royal capital had no secrets for him.
Zhao Rao's eyes were cold, "It was you who asked Lu Yaoyao to save Zhao Ning."
"I only found out today that Lu Yaoyao is still alive." Song Hongao lowered his eyes, the news was good, but he did not expect that Lu Yaoyao killed Cheng Zheng.
"I must kill her." Zhao Rao's eyes burst out with intense hatred.
Song Hongao looked at her silently, "What you have to do now is not to kill Lu Yaoyao, but to stabilize the court that is about to be in turmoil."
Since the death of Zhao Yong, Cheng Zheng's status in Qi has become transcendent. Some ministers in the court actually obey his orders instead of Zhao Rao. Moreover, the clan is still worried about a woman's accession to the throne, so it is inevitable that they will not take advantage of Cheng Zheng's death. Zhao Rao gave up the throne. If Zhao Rao could not calm down at this time, the Qi State would fall into great turmoil.
"She killed Cheng Zheng!" Zhao Rao's voice was sharp. She had tried very hard to control her grief. However, as soon as she thought that no one would love her like that or have a generous embrace to accompany her from now on, she would feel a knot in her heart. A hole was dug, and the cold feeling spread throughout the body.
She had never hated someone so much, nor had she had such an urge to kill someone with her own hands.
"I know, but now you are not just the eldest princess, you are the emperor of Qi." Song Hongao said, "I believe Master Cheng also hopes that you will do well and defend the country he has built for you."
Being an emperor is not free of cost. The first thing to think about is not personal feelings, but the entire country.
Zhao Rao closed his eyes. Cheng Zheng had done so many things just to give her a prosperous life.
She couldn't let all his thoughts go to waste.
"Go down." Zhao Rao said, "Let someone prepare...Cheng Zheng's funeral and bury him in the imperial mausoleum."
"Okay." Song Hongao glanced at Zhao Rao. He was a little surprised by Zhao Rao's calmness. He thought she would fall into grief. Now she looked very calm. I don't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Zhao Rao seemed to grow up at this moment and become a real emperor.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your body. You are pregnant with Liujia. Don't be too sad." Song Hongao said before going out.
"What did you say?" Zhao Rao was stunned. After she woke up, she asked everyone to leave. She had no idea that Ye Zhen had said that she was pregnant before.
Song Hongao was surprised, "Lu Yaoyao took your pulse after you were unconscious and said that you were pregnant. Didn't Your Majesty know?"
Zhao Rao's expression changed drastically, and his fingertips trembled a little, "I don't know."
She has Cheng Zheng's child? There are continuing descendants between them...
"I asked someone to ask for the imperial doctor." Song Hongao said.
He exited the Yangxin Palace and said to Zhao Xiang, "Second Princess, go and accompany your Majesty."
Zhao Xiang looked at Song Hongao, nodded slightly, and walked into the Nourishing Heart Hall.
Soon, the imperial doctor was invited to confirm that Zhao Rao was pregnant.
"God gave me my life back..." Zhao Rao stroked his belly gently, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
