Chapter 2019 Truce

Since Cheng Zheng's death, Zhao Rao has not really slept for a long time. She has never dreamed of Cheng Zheng. Every time before she falls asleep, she hopes that he can come and meet her in her dreams. The more anxious she becomes, the more anxious she becomes. His mood couldn't be calmed down anymore. When he closed his eyes, he saw Lu Yaoyao killing Cheng Zheng.

Her mood was rarely calm today. She had already lost too much and didn't want to lose it again.

She finally dreamed of Cheng Zheng.

His eyes were still affectionate, but with a touch of sadness. Although he said nothing, Zhao Rao understood what he meant. He hoped that she would live well, take his child with her, and live well... for him.

When Zhao Rao woke up, it was already noon the next day.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Zhao Xiang, who had been standing by her side, heard the movement and looked at her happily.

"Have you always been here?" Zhao Rao saw that Zhao Xiang's hair was a little disheveled and his clothes were still the same as yesterday, so he knew that she had been keeping him here all night.

Zhao Xiang asked in a low voice, "How do you feel? Is there anything else uncomfortable?"

"No..." Zhao Rao shook his head gently and put his hand on his lower abdomen, "Child..."

"It's okay, it's saved." Zhao Xiang said hurriedly, "I took the medicine yesterday, and Doctor Tang said the pulse has stabilized."

Zhao Rao remained silent and gently stroked his belly, "Where is Song Hongao?"

"The Marquis Zhenguo waited outside all night." Zhao Xiang said in a low voice.

"Let him come in." Zhao Rao said calmly. She knew that Lu Yaoyao would not give the medicine to Song Hongao easily. There must be conditions.

Zhao Xiang fixed Zhao Rao's hair, "You still need to rest and don't get angry about anything. We can wait until the child is born."

"I know." Zhao Rao smiled. She felt that her child was in danger yesterday, which completely woke her up.

"Then I'll let Marquis Zhenguo come in." Zhao Xiang saw that Zhao Rao seemed to have calmed down, and felt relieved and distressed. He must have made a choice to make Zhao Rao temporarily put aside his hatred.

Song Hongao stayed up all night and looked a little haggard. When he saw Zhao Xiang coming out, he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, she..."

"Let you in." Zhao Xiang lowered his voice, "Marquis Zhenguo, try not to make her angry again."

"Try your best." Song Hongao nodded heavily. Zhao Rao might not be able to calm down after hearing what he was about to say.

Song Hongao stood outside the curtain. He lowered his head and recounted the conversation he had with Ye Zhen yesterday.

"Ten years..." A flash of anger flashed in Zhao Rao's eyes, but she soon calmed down again, "Lu Yaoyao really dares to say this."

Is there anything Lu Yaoyao can't say now? She and Mo Rongzhan were simply invincible.

"Your Majesty, ten years is neither long nor short, but for you, it is what you need most..." Song Hongao said in a low voice.

"In ten years, will Qi be stronger than Jin?" Zhao Rao asked calmly, "Can it defeat Yuan?"

Song Hongao said, "Nothing is impossible. Lu Yaoyao will no longer be the concubine of the Yuan Kingdom, and Murong Zhan will not return to the Jin Kingdom to become the emperor."

Zhao Rao smiled mockingly, "Is there any difference?"

"Your Majesty, the medicine she gave yesterday... can only be used for one day." Song Hongao said helplessly, fearing that Zhao Rao would really refuse to agree.

"I didn't say I wouldn't agree." Zhao Rao said calmly, "She wants ten years to give to Mo Mingyu, and I will definitely get it back from Mo Mingyu in the future."

Song Hongao understood that it was impossible for Zhao Rao to let go of her hatred. It was good that she could give herself ten years.

"Your Majesty, it is a good thing to keep a low profile and bide your time." Song Hongao said.

Zhao Rao said, "Go ahead and draft the book."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Hongao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

…

…

Song Hongao wrote a contract in accordance with the conditions proposed by Ye Zhen, gave it to Zhao Rao to read, and stamped it with a jade seal. Song Hongao immediately sent it to Bailizhou to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen, who was about to return to the city, received the contract sent by Qi State and smiled with satisfaction. After telling Shen Luoyang and the others, she was asked to organize her army and return to the court.

At the same time, she asked Mingxi to go to Shajiucheng in person and deliver a letter to Song Hongao.

Looking at Mingxi who looked exactly like Mo Rongzhan, Song Hongao felt a little complicated. He had already heard that the five thousand elite soldiers he sent to attack were defeated by this child. Originally, Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao were already very evil spirits. The existence of this person is so terrifying even to their son at such a young age.

"You... came alone?" Song Hongao asked in surprise. Morong Zhan and the others were too confident in their son.

"Yes." Mingxi nodded, "The things have been delivered, then I'm leaving."

Song Hongao asked, "Does your Majesty have anything else to say?"

"No." Mingxi answered simply and directly. After all, wasn't everything that should be said written in the letter?

"You...are you planning to return to the royal capital?" Since the two countries have had a truce for ten years, it is impossible for Mo Rongzhan and the others to stay in Bailizhou. He was a little curious as to what they were going to do next.

Regardless of whether it is the Yuan Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, their existence is too powerful, and no matter which emperor they are, it is impossible to regard them as ordinary people.

Mingxi looked at Song Hongao with narrowed eyes and a smile, "General Song seems to care about us very much."

"It's just a casual question." Song Hongao said.

"Who knows, maybe we will go to Qi for a walk. I wonder if General Song will welcome us?" Mingxi asked sincerely.

"It's great to have friends from far away." Song Hongao said.

Mingxi smiled and said, "General Song is so hospitable. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to leave after we go to Qi. The things have been delivered to you. I'm leaving."

Before Song Hongao could say a few more words, Mingxi had already walked out like a whirlwind.

He sighed softly and opened the envelope in his hand.

There was only a note inside.

Three months of bed rest.

There is nothing more.

Song Hongao suddenly realized that the pregnancy-preserving pill given by Lu Yaoyao yesterday was not only good for one day, but also the medicine that could save the child.

"Really..." Song Hongao shook his head and chuckled, feeling helpless at Ye Zhen's cunning and teasing.

She didn't seem to have changed anything. She had teased Zhao Yong before, but Zhao Yong, who usually never paid attention to women, seemed to be unable to do anything to her.

Song Hongao turned around to see Zhao Rao and explained Ye Zhen's meaning tactfully.

"I know." Zhao Rao said lightly, not surprised. In her opinion, Lu Yaoyao was a cunning and despicable person.

"The emperor's body is weak now. It is not suitable to travel long distances. It is better to rest in Shajiucheng for some time." Song Hongao said.

Zhao Rao nodded, "You go back to the Imperial City first. I'm not worried if I've been away for too long. You go and watch for me."

She did not forget that there were many people in the Imperial City who wanted to remove her from power.
