893. Chapter 893 No Trace
Mo Rongzhan's mood at this time was not only anger but also uneasiness that could not be ignored. He was waiting for Ye Zhen's return in the palace with joy and expectation. She had always wanted to get pregnant, and now she might get her wish. He knew that she would definitely be happy. , he also looked forward to having a daughter as exquisite as her. However, before he could wait for her return, the secret guard brought news that she had been taken away by the Witch King of Xiliang.
Xiliang Witch King! Qi Ruoshui!
He knew that Ye Zhen was suspicious of Qi Ruoshui, so he sent secret guards to investigate and follow her. He knew that she was suspicious, but he didn't think that Qi Ruoshui was the Witch King. At most, he was just a member of the priest's hall. Xue Lin and the others saw Now, it's in Kyoto, so there will definitely be no problem.
"Where is Qi Jin?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice. Who would have thought that Qi Ruoshui was actually the Witch King, and that the people around him could seriously injure Xue Lin and Wu Chong.
Shen Yi whispered, "Your Majesty, Medical Officer Qi's grandson is missing. Medical Officer Qi was drugged and he has not woken up yet."
Qi Zixi is Qi Ruoshui's son. He disappeared at this time. There is no doubt that he must have been taken away.
"Chen Yi, lead a search in the capital. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find their people. I will lead people out of the city to look for them." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice. Since Qi Ruoshui dared to attack Ye Zhen, Everything must have been arranged. How many people in Kyoto were arranged by the priest's palace?
Murong Zhan asked the imperial guards to follow him out of the city. If Qi Ruoshui and the others left Kyoto when they set fire to the inn, he would definitely be able to catch up. He could not let Yaoyao be taken away. If she was taken to Xiliang...
If she were to meet Lu Lingzhi... Mo Rongzhan couldn't imagine the consequences.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have been keeping an eye on Ye Yaoyao. If Qi Ruoshui leaves, they may take her with them." Shen Yi hurriedly said to Mo Rongzhan.
"Lead the way!" Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
Ye Yaoyao lives in the suburbs. As soon as Murong Zhan left the city, a secret guard came to report. Ye Yaoyao was taken away this morning. The other party seemed to have discovered their existence, so only one was left undiscovered. The secret guard followed.
"Your Majesty, the secret guards will leave marks along the way. Ye Yaoyao must have been taken away by those people. If you follow them, you may be able to find the Queen."
Murong Zhan nodded and ordered them to continue chasing the code.
The city gates were blocked and guards were everywhere. Nothing like this had ever happened since the new emperor ascended the throne. Not only did the people of Kyoto feel in danger, they thought something big was going to happen again. Murong Zhan originally wanted to suppress Ye Zhen from being raped by the witch. However, within two hours, Qi Ruoshui himself spread the news throughout Kyoto.
Queen Jin Guo was invited to the Priest Hall in Xiliang as a guest. As the owner of the Priest Hall, she would definitely take good care of Queen Jin Guo and the future little prince in her belly.
Qi Ruoshui hung the news about Ye Zhen on the city wall without scruples. The general who defended the city got it and hurriedly sent it to the palace. The whole court was shocked.
Murong Zhan chased for hundreds of miles outside the city but found no trace of Qi Ruoshui, let alone Ye Zhen. He already knew about Qi Ruoshui's provocation before he returned to Kyoto.
That's right, Qi Ruoshui posted a note on the city wall to take away Ye Zhen so unscrupulously. In Mo Rongzhan's view, it was provoking and mocking him.
"Your Majesty..." Shen Yi looked at Mo Rongzhan who had been silent for most of the day and didn't even have any expression on his face.
There was a murderous look in Mo Rongzhan's eyes, "Go back to the palace."
Since Qi Ruoshui provoked him so much and mentioned the news of Ye Zhen's pregnancy, he would definitely not hurt her so quickly.
"We have sealed the city gate and searched for hundreds of miles around. How could the Witch King fly to the sky and escape? How could he not find them?" Shen Yi said doubtfully. According to Xue Lin and the others, the Queen The empress must have been taken away not long ago.
Mo Rongzhan's clear face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and the chilling look in his eyes made people shudder. He looked ahead calmly, "They won't go too far. They have planned to capture the queen." Okay, I must have thought about the hiding place, Shen Yi, take people from Kyoto to search carefully within a hundred miles!"
Shen Yi knew the empress's status in the emperor's heart, not to mention that the empress was pregnant now. "My subordinates will definitely find the empress."
Returning to the palace, Eunuch Fu immediately handed the note from the city guard general to Mo Rongzhan.
Looking down at the writing on it, Mo Rongzhan pursed his thin lips tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly prominent.
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Fu called out cautiously, "Master Xu, please see me."
"Let him in." Mo Rongzhan crumpled the note into a ball and threw it on the table. Mr. Xu's entry into the palace at this time must be related to Yaoyao's capture.
Thinking that he hadn't had time to share the joy of pregnancy with Yaoyao, not yet... Mo Rongzhan felt a twinge in his heart when he thought of Ye Zhen.
In his lifetime, he will definitely destroy the priest's temple!
"I pay my respects to the Emperor." Mr. Xu walked in. Seeing Mo Rongzhan's gloomy face, he lowered his eyes slightly and bowed.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him, "What's important, Prime Minister Xu?"
"Your Majesty, I heard about the Queen, and I heard that the Witch King of Xiliang is the daughter of Medical Officer Qi." Mr. Xu said in a low voice.
"That's right." Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. He didn't think Mr. Xu entered the palace just to confirm Qi Ruoshui's identity. He waited for him to continue.
Mr. Xu frowned and remained silent for a moment, "Madam, I met Qi Ruoshui a few years ago."
Mo Rongzhan raised his head suddenly, "Qi Ruoshui came to see you?"
"A few years ago, I went to Yunfu Mountain to worship Buddha and met her there." Mr. Xu said in a low voice, "At that time, I just thought that she had extraordinary knowledge, but now that I think about it carefully, I feel that something is wrong."
"What did she say?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
Qi Ruoshui said this at the time: The world was originally unified. It was the Huangfu Dynasty that made the world five points and sought stability in chaos, but it was not a real prosperous age. The people who can really command the world are still people from the Huangfu Dynasty.
Because it had been so long, Mr. Xu couldn't remember it clearly at all, but he still remembered the general meaning.
Murong Zhan frowned after hearing this, "What does Prime Minister Xu mean, Qi Ruoshui has done so much, is he working for the Huangfu family?"
The Huangfu Dynasty ceased to exist more than a hundred years ago. Qi Ruoshui wouldn't be naive enough to think that she could bring Jing Guo back with her own power, right?
"I think... maybe Qi Ruoshui will do more." Mr. Xu whispered, "Your Majesty, the Priest Hall is not something to be afraid of, but for so many years, no one has seen the rumored hidden place, let alone No one knows where the descendants who were loyal to them went after the disappearance of the Huangfu dynasty."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "This is why Qi Ruoshui captured Huangfuchen."
