338. Chapter 338 House Arrest in Disguise

Since Mu Qing is not sick, there is nothing to be treated, Ye Zhen just prescribed some decoctions for her body to make her complexion look better.

On the fifth day in Zhaojiadao, everything seemed a little different. Ye Zhen found that there were many more guards outside the courtyard where they lived. They didn't look like they were here to protect Zhao Tianjiu, even Zhao Tianjiu was stopped when he went out.

They were under house arrest in a disguised form, and it was only at this time that Ye Zhen knew that the ambitious person was not Zhao Tianji, but Zhao Mingxiao.

"Zhaojiadao proclaims the country? Could it be that Zhao Mingxiao wants to proclaim himself emperor? He's crazy!" After Ye Zhen heard the real reason why Zhao Mingxiao put them under house arrest, she felt that this person was too crazy. Now she is not worried whether she will be imprisoned in the Zhaojiadao, as long as Zhao Mingxiao dares to proclaim himself emperor, I believe it won't take long for Murong Zhan to send troops to Zhaojiadao.

"He's not crazy, he's been preparing for it for many years." Zhao Tianji said flatly.

Ye Zhen suddenly looked at Zhao Tianji's legs, "So, your inability to walk was caused by your own elder brother?"

Zhao Tianji pursed his lips, very unwilling to admit this in front of outsiders, but it was the truth after all.

"You are an island owner after all, so you won't be put under house arrest like this, right?" Seeing that Zhao Tianji was silent, Ye Zhen couldn't help asking again. She didn't quite believe that a person who can become an island owner really can't do anything.

"I will contact the previous elders and find a way to send you away first." Zhao Tianji said lightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhen, "Especially you, you are the princess of Jin Kingdom, if Zhao Mingxiao proclaims himself emperor, he will definitely Take you as a hostage and threaten Murong Zhan."

Ye Zhen froze for a moment, then shook her head and laughed, "Does Zhao Mingxiao think highly of me?"

Murong Zhan probably forgot about her long ago. With the one he never forgets by his side, how could he care about her life, let alone compromise with Zhao Mingxiao because of her.

"Yaoyao, listen to A Ji, no matter what, you have to leave Zhaojiadao first." Huangfuchen said in a low voice, he was a bystander, and he knew more about Murongzhan's feelings for his little apprentice than anyone else.

"Master..." Ye Zhen frowned, "Now there are people from Zhao Mingxiao inside and out, how can I get out?"

Zhao Tianji stood up from the wheelchair, "Didn't you just say that? I am still the master of the island."

"Although this is the case, after all, you have not been on the island for many years, and people are unpredictable. How many people can you trust?" Huangfu Chen asked.

"Since I can become the owner of the island, I naturally have a reason to become the owner of the island. Besides, none of the elders on the island is a fuel-efficient lamp. Although Zhao Mingxiao promoted new elders, every elder on our Zhao Family Island represents a family, unless He killed all the members of the original six major families, otherwise the six elders he replaced would still be able to help us." Zhao Tianji said.

Ye Zhen asked, "It's been so long since you've been back, and those elders haven't come to look for you, are you sure they'll still help you?"

"Nowadays, few people know about Aji's return, and the six elders must not know about it." Huangfuchen said in a low voice, "Zhao Mingxiao deliberately concealed the news of your return."

Zhao Tianji smiled faintly, "No matter how much he hides it, I am also the owner of the island, and I still have the ability to let the whole Zhao Family Island know that I am back and can stand up again."

"You two brothers are really different." Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Tianji and said, "Are you really biological brothers?"

If Zhao Mingxiao really regarded Zhao Tianji as his younger brother, how could he do such a ruthless thing? If he hadn't met her, Zhao Tianji probably couldn't move his whole body now, the only thing he could move was his mouth.

Then Zhao Tianji's whole person would be ruined. If he hadn't had a deep hatred, who would have done such a cruel thing.

Zhao Tianji probably knew the tragic consequences he might encounter. He had already suspected that there was something wrong with the internal strength that Zhao Mingxiao had given him. This time he came back to Zhao Family Island just to cherish the last bit of brotherly love for him. Unfortunately, he was still disappointed.

"Do you think we are like brothers?" Zhao Tianji asked Ye Zhen back.

If he was a real brother, why would his father give him the island owner back then? It's a pity that he kept this matter from Zhao Mingxiao all the time, fearing that there would be a gap between the two brothers, but he didn't expect that the moment he became the island owner, there was already a gap between them that could never be repaired.

"Liang Yin, go ring the island bell tonight. I want to light the torch of the island tower myself." Only the owner of the island can enter the island tower. The island owner will light the fire on the island tower when he leaves and returns. Everyone can see it, and at the same time know that the most honorable island owner on their island has returned.

Zhao Family Island has a history of more than 100 years. The owner of the island is a sacred and noble existence in everyone's mind, and it cannot be replaced by anyone who wants to.

"Yes, Island Master!" Liang Yin shouted excitedly.

At this time, in the palace on the other side of the vast ocean, Murong Zhan was becoming more and more restless.

"Have you found the princess yet?" He looked at the hidden guard kneeling in front of him with dark and cold eyes. He had already dispatched all the hidden guards to find the little girl, but there was still no trace of the little girl. Did Zhao Tianji capture Zhaojiadao?

"Back to the emperor, we and Mr. Shen separated to find the princess, but we didn't find any trace of the princess." The hidden guard kneeling on the ground replied.

Mo Rongzhan let out a sigh of relief, "Keep looking!"

He almost searched for her in Jingguo, but he still couldn't find her. It seems that she really went to Zhaojiadao...

His Yaoyao...don't worry! Murong Zhan was flustered, he was never afraid of losing, but now he was very afraid of losing her.

Afraid? Unexpectedly, he would feel such emotions one day. He had never been afraid of anything before.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Master Shen." Panting, Xue Lin came in from the outside, holding a secret report in his hand, kneeling on the ground with his hands raised.

Ford hurriedly took the letter in his hand and handed it to Murong Zhan.

It was a secret report from Shen Yi. They had already found the location of Zhao Family Island, but there were stone formations outside the island, and they still needed to find a way to get in. As for the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness, they would not know until they entered the island.

Mo Rongzhan looked at the letter in his hand and didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he just waved lightly to let Xue Lin go down first.

Ford looked at the emperor with some concern, "Your Majesty?"

As Murong Zhan's personal eunuch, he has clearly seen the emperor's worry and weight loss recently. He has never seen the emperor would eat and sleep like this for the sake of a girl. For the sake of His Royal Highness, the emperor has not been there for a long time. Harem?

Even Concubine Xu Xian... oh, no, Concubine Xu should have been abolished as a concubine, and now she doesn't dare to jump around anymore.
