Chapter 2363 Obsession
Qi State, Imperial Palace.
Zhao Rao put down the letter in his hand, and his fair and beautiful face finally showed a satisfied smile. After sweeping away the haze during this period, Song Hongao finally sent out troops. She had already prepared to send another general to replace him.
"Mother." The little prince felt Zhao Rao's mood change, and a smile he hadn't seen for a long time finally appeared on his face, and he called out cautiously.
"Well." Zhao Rao rubbed his son's head, "What's wrong? Is it too boring here?"
The little prince shook his head gently. The little prince who had just learned to speak didn't know how to express his thoughts. He only knew that the queen mother didn't look so scary today. He didn't dare to look at her yesterday.
Zhao Rao picked him up and said, "Mother will accompany you to the Royal Garden to play."
"Okay." The little prince happily showed his teeth like rice grains and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Aunt Xiang..."
They had just walked out of Qianqing Palace when they saw Zhao Xiang coming. The little prince happily broke away from Zhao Rao's hand and ran towards Zhao Xiang with his short legs.
Zhao Rao smiled and said, "He is closer to you."
"Your Majesty is the little prince's mother, and you are the closest to him." Zhao Xiang came over with the little prince in his arms, "You seem to be in a good mood today."
"Song Hongao has sent out troops." Zhao Rao said with a smile, walking towards the imperial garden with Zhao Xiang, "And the people from Qi State leading troops to fight are definitely something you would never expect."
Zhao Xiang looked at Zhao Rao in confusion. The news of Qian Danqing's disappearance had already reached Qi State. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have asked Song Hongao to send troops. Ning State should have no generals available. Who would Mo Mingyu ask to send troops?
"Who else could it be? Except for Qian Danqing, no one in Ning Guo can fight against Song Hongao. Even those who stayed in Ning Guo were only lieutenants with no practical experience." Zhao Xiang said, although she didn't know Ning Guo very well, but The specific situation is still known.
Zhao Rao smiled and said, "You are right, so it is Mo Mingxi who leads the troops on the expedition this time."
"Who?" Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment, "Lu Yaoyao's son?"
"Yes, that's him." Zhao Rao said with a smile, "A half-year-old child is actually going to lead an army on an expedition. Lu Yaoyao is really relieved."
Zhao Rao smiled with a smile on her face. She seemed to have seen Chanzhou's great victory. When Song Hongao captured Mo Mingxi's brother and sister, she could finally vent the hatred in her heart.
"It's really..." Zhao Xiang was so surprised that he didn't know what to say. Song Hongao was a general who had followed the late emperor in the southern and northern expeditions. His battlefield experience was rich and not everyone could compare with it. Mo Mingxi was only so old, let alone that he had never fought before. In battle, even his martial arts skills are not as good as Song Hongao's.
"Isn't this better? No need to waste time." Zhao Rao said with a smile.
Zhao Xiang said, "I'm a little worried, Mo Mingxi... doesn't seem to be that simple."
"No matter how difficult it is, he is just a young man." Zhao Rao didn't like hearing this. She was now looking forward to Song Hongao bringing Mo Mingxi back.
"Kite..." The little prince pointed at the bird in the sky and called out in a clear voice.
Zhao Xiang smiled and said, "That's a little bird."
The little prince pouted, "It's a kite."
"I'll ask someone to get the kite." Zhao Rao held his son's hand, and the cruelty in his eyes was replaced by tenderness.
Zhao Xiang looked at her. Whenever he mentioned people and things related to Lu Yaoyao, Zhao Rao would fall into uncontrollable hatred, and his expression would sometimes become ferocious and scary. Especially during the recent period, he had not seen her for a long time. She smiled so softly.
It would be a good thing if we could really catch Mo Mingxi, but I'm afraid...
The little prince was led by the palace people to fly a kite, while Zhao Rao and Zhao Xiang stood aside and watched.
"Your Majesty." Zhao Xiang called softly.
"Huh?" Zhao Rao was in a good mood, with a smile on his face.
Zhao Xiang really couldn't bear to say the annoying words. She hoped that Zhao Rao's smile could always be maintained. "Except for the Imperial City, monsters have appeared in other places. I heard that there are even some in the military camp."
"Military camp?" The smile on Zhao Rao's face paused. She had forgotten that there is a greater unknown danger in Qi State. Not long ago, news came from various places that ferocious beasts appeared. From the portrait, She didn't feel like a beast, but more of a monster.
"Yes, there is more than one. There was a monster that made trouble in the military camp before, but it was stopped by another monster. It seems that General Song saved that monster." Zhao Xiang said.
Zhao Rao laughed, "It seems that monsters are also humane and know how to repay kindness."
"Your Majesty..." Zhao Xiang frowned, that was not what she wanted to say.
"I know what you are going to say." Zhao Rao said lightly, turned and walked to the other side, "The appearance of the monsters was an accident, and now they have disappeared, right? As long as they don't harm the people, that's all."
Zhao Xiang frowned, "I don't think it's an accident. What if it happens again?"
"Kill." Killing intent flashed in Zhao Rao's eyes, "A monster is always a beast, and it cannot be our opponent."
If only it were that simple. Although Zhao Xiang has not seen monster beasts with his own eyes, he always feels that they are not just ordinary animals.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, we must maintain our strength." Zhao Xiang reminded vaguely, hoping that Zhao Rao would not spend all his country's energy for revenge this time. Their treasury was finally full.
Zhao Rao glanced at her, "Do you think I will take revenge without hesitation like before?"
"No, I dare not think so." Zhao Xiang said.
"Even if I want to do this, I still have the emperor." Zhao Rao raised her eyes and looked at her son not far away. How could she give him a broken Qi country in the future.
For the sake of her son, she would not do what she did before.
After hearing Zhao Rao's words, Zhao Xiang felt a little relieved. At least she no longer had any worries.
"By the way, have you found out where Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao are?" Zhao Rao asked. Their daughter had just become the concubine of Ning State. They were not in Ning State but were missing. They didn't know where they went. There is some conspiracy.
Zhao Xiang said, "I have asked someone to inquire about it, and there should be news soon."
"Yes." Zhao Rao nodded. She had not seen Lu Yaoyao for a long time. If she saw her again, she would definitely see the pain on Lu Yaoyao's face.
"Mother, queen, fly up." The little prince shouted happily, and the kite had already flown into the sky.
Zhao Rao showed a gentle smile.
At this moment, a shadow appeared on the ground, and a huge eagle flew from the sky. Everyone was stunned.
"Big bird..." the little prince pointed at the big eagle and shouted.
Zhao Rao's expression changed, "Your Majesty!"
The big eagle descended from the sky, holding the little prince in its mouth and soared into the air.
"No!" Zhao Rao screamed, "Save the little prince quickly!"
