934. Chapter 934 Go Back

Ye Zhen and the others only spent one night in the small house, and started on their way before dawn the next day. They did not stop to rest along the way. Three days later, they finally approached Donglai. Song Jiong did not continue on his way, but found a Ye Zhen stayed in the farmhouse.

"Why don't you keep walking?" Ye Zhen asked. She desperately wanted to see her father and leave Xiliang. She could reach Donglai in one day, so why did she stop again?

Shen Yi said in a low voice, "Mother, Donglai was captured by Mr. Ye, and the King of Xiliang sent troops to support me. I heard that Tuoba Qiu led the troops to Pingjing and blocked Mr. Ye's army in Pingjing. If we want to go to Donglai Lai, we have to pass through Pingjing, we can’t just go there rashly, or we will be recognized by the people in the priest’s hall.”

Ye Zhen asked in surprise, "My father has captured Donglai?"

"Yes, Mr. Ye used his troops like a god, and he and Jin Lou captured Donglai. I believe it won't be long before Pingjing is captured," Shen Yi said.

Song Jiong said beside him, "This time Xiliang sent Tuoba Qiu, Xiliang's number one general, even Tuoba Xuanyuan can't match his might."

"What is the relationship between Tuoba Qiu and Tuoba Xuanyuan?" Ye Zhen asked.

"The two are cousins." Song Jiong said.

Ye Zhen was stunned, "Then Tuoba Qiu is also Wan Yanxi's uncle. Instead of helping Wan Yanxi, did he turn to the Witch King instead?"

Shen Yi said, "I heard that the two of them have always been at odds, and Tuoba Qiu was promoted by Qi Ruoshui."

"Then how long are we going to stay here?" Ye Zhen asked with a slight frown.

"You guys are here, I'm going to inquire about the news." Song Jiong said, "If there is a chance to leave Pingjing, we will leave at night."

Ye Zhen had no choice but to nod and settle down in this farmhouse for the time being. Although it was a farmhouse, it was very clean and looked good.

Now she is almost three months pregnant. Although her belly is still invisible, she still wants to leave here as soon as possible. If she stays in Xiliang for one more day, she will have to worry for one more day.

"Is there no news about the priest's hall yet?" Ye Zhen asked Shen Yi in a low voice. He is the leader of the secret guard. He must have better information than anyone else. Besides, he has been the only one by his side for so many days, and the other secret guards have no idea. Didn't see it.

Shen Yi lowered his head and did not dare to look at Ye Zhen, "My subordinates don't know yet and haven't received any news."

Ye Zhen looked at Shen Yi calmly, "Did something happen to Murong Ke? Don't hide it from me, I will know sooner or later."

"Empress..." Shen Yi did already know the news that Murong Ke was imprisoned in the dungeon, but he couldn't tell it. He felt that if the empress knew that the Sixth Prince was tortured to death by Qi Ruoshui, she would definitely want to go back and save him.

"Chen Yi!" Ye Zhen called him coldly, "What happened?"

"Mother, Murong Ke did not escape. He was captured by Qi Ruoshui and imprisoned in the dungeon..." Shen Yi whispered, "My subordinates have asked people to find ways to rescue him."

Ye Zhen felt that Shen Yi was perfunctory with her, so she said quietly, "Qi Ruoshui will not kill Murong Ke easily. Did he just lock him in a dungeon, or did he do something to him?"

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, "Mother, my subordinates don't know what Qi Ruoshui did, but... I heard... I heard that Murong Ke's screams were often heard in the dungeon."

"That's because Qi Ruoshui threw the Pavilion Master into the Gu Insect Cave." Song Jiong appeared at the door with a pale face, "Teng Ye sent me the news that Qi Ruoshui wants to train our Pavilion Master into a Gu worm cave." people……"

Ye Zhen stood up suddenly, her expression suddenly changed, "What did you say?"

"Qi Ruoshui has left the priest's hall and gone to Anhe City. Teng Ye will rescue the people in the next two days. I don't know anyone who can detoxify. Aren't you a good doctor? Can you cure the poison on our pavilion master? ?" Song Jiong stared straight at Ye Zhen.

Shen Yi immediately said, "Our queen must return to Qingzhou and cannot stay in Xiliang."

"Even if our pavilion master is rescued from the priest's hall, he won't be able to survive to Qingzhou." Song Jiong shouted angrily.

"Empress, you can't stay!" Shen Yi looked at Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen was still immersed in the shock. She asked Song Jiong, "You said Qi Ruoshui threw him into the Gu den to train him into a Gu?"

"Yes, our pavilion master was bitten by a poisonous insect..." Song Jiong's voice was choked with sobs, "Empress, our pavilion master was captured by Qi Ruoshui because of you. Now only you can save him …”

Shen Yi said, "Mother, you are still pregnant, so you can't travel back home any longer."

"We don't have to go back to the priest's hall. Let's go back to the previous house. It's the safest place. Teng Ye will send the pavilion master there." Song Jiong said hurriedly.

Ye Zhen closed her eyes gently, "I'll go back with you."

"Empress!" Shen Yi's eyes widened, "You can't go back, it's too dangerous!"

"If Murong Ke hadn't rescued me from the priest's hall, I would still be restricted by Qi Ruoshui." Ye Zhen whispered, she could not let Murong Ke be trained into a Gu.

Gu people... They are completely unconscious and are manipulated like puppets. Moreover, their whole bodies are poisonous and they cannot survive for three years.

How could Murong Ke be so proud and allowed to be manipulated by Qi Ruoshui?

"But, empress... Donglai is just ahead. Lord Ye is right there. Don't you want to go back?" Shen Yi asked.

Ye Zhen nodded, "I want to go back more than anyone else, but... I can't watch Murong Ke being trained into a Gu."

Song Jiong's face lit up with joy, "Mother, then we will go back immediately."

"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded.

"Empress!" Shen Yi was still opposed. He was worried that he would encounter people sent by the priest's palace to arrest them this time. It took a lot of effort to get here, and he must not be arrested again.

Ye Zhen said, "Qi Ruoshui went to Anhe City, and my father, Jin Lou and the others defeated Xiliang. The priest's palace definitely doesn't have the extra thought to pursue us now, and we will not be in danger."

Shen Yi thought to himself that he was not only worried about her safety, but also worried about the child in her belly. It was the emperor's first child. It was best not to make any mistakes.

"Master Shen, I know my body very well. Didn't you say that Hongying and Jianjia are both in Xiliang? Let them come to us."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yi sighed in his heart. It seemed that he couldn't change His Majesty's mind. How should he tell the Emperor about this?

Ye Zhen whispered, "Don't tell the emperor about my stay."

"..." Shen Yi was stunned. Can the empress be able to read minds?

"Let's rest for a while and set off after lunch." Ye Zhen said to Song Jiong.

Song Jiong nodded happily, "Okay, I'll prepare lunch right now."
