Chapter 363 Thief

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Jin still wanted to speak, but he waved his hand and closed his eyes. Grandpa Jin finally made no more sound and waved to everyone inside to go out.

Mo Ziyao looked at Mu Qing and whispered, "You can also go out. You don't have to wait here."

"Yes." She answered, looked at Ruan Lingzheng again, and then turned around and went out.

Ruan Lingzheng leaned against the table without saying a word. Mo Ziyao hesitated and finally came forward softly. When I walked around in front of him, I saw that his forehead was full of sweat. He took the veil and gently wiped it off, but he grabbed her hand with great strength.

Mo Ziyao was shocked and whispered, "Your Majesty..."

Ruan Lingzheng suddenly took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes to look at her. Mo Ziyao was shocked by his cold eyes and called him low: "Your Majesty..."

Ruan Lingzheng just looked straight at her for a long time before he got up and pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. Mo Ziyao could hear his rapid breathing, hesitated, reached out to stroke his back, and whispered, "What's wrong with the emperor?"

After a while, Ruan Lingzheng said, "Yaoer, I... I did a wrong thing."

Mo Ziyao was slightly shocked. Is it wrong? He pointed out that Xuefei was imprisoned and then led to Xuefei's tragic death? Somehow, thinking of Xuefei, she was really entangled. What about Ruan Lingzheng? How can he bear it?

patted him on the back and comforted him: "The matter of Xuefei is not up to the emperor. The Empress Dowager has told my concubine about this matter, emperor... Please don't do this."

Mo Ziyao obviously felt the shock of the person in her arms, suddenly loosened her hand, and her eyes were full of disbelief. She blurted out, "The Empress Dowager told you?" Then there was a piece of consternment in his eyes.

Mo Ziyao is really a little confused. After a hesitation, he finally nodded.

Ruan Lingzheng gritted his teeth: "How can the Empress Dowager tell you!"

"Your Majesty." Mo Ziyao hugged his body and said quietly, "The Empress Dowager is right. I don't want you to bear these things alone. I want to accompany you."

"Yuer..." Ruan Lingzheng called her name in a low voice, but Mo Ziyao saw that his eyebrows had frowned fiercely.

With a forced smile, he pulled him to the edge of the collapse, pushed him to sit down, and said, "The emperor has been tired for a day. Take a rest for a while. My concubine is here to accompany you."

Ruan Lingzheng shook his head: "I can't sleep."

Mo Ziyao knew that he must not be able to sleep at this time. If you just don't have a good rest, how can you have the energy to deal with other things? Before long, more difficult things will happen, won't they? He pushed him down and lay down beside him and said, "The emperor can't sleep, so he close his eyes and lie down, okay?"

"Yuer." Ruan Lingzheng looked at Mo Ziyao, slowly raised his hand and stroked her cheek. He suddenly closed his eyes and said in a low voice. I'm sorry for you."

What he said made Mo Ziyao shocked. Good, why do you say sorry to yourself? Then, I remembered what the Empress Dowager said to herself in the morning. She said that according to Ruan Lingzheng's intention, she wanted to put herself in the position. At this time, did he still think he would blame him for this?

My heart warmed, but it seemed to choke, shook his head and smiled, "What did the emperor say? I understand the situation at this time. I won't blame you."

Ruan Lingzheng suddenly got up and pulled her to the dragon's bed, lay down with her in his arms, and whispered, "I hold you for a rest."

Mo Ziyao felt his big hand on her waist, but it was no longer hot. His palm was so cold. Then he stopped talking and let Ruan Lingzheng hold him. When he turned his face, he saw that he had closed his eyes. He raised his hand, gently brushed away the broken hair scattered on his forehead, brushed his cheek with his fingers, and only felt thin.

Ruan Lingzheng suddenly opened his mouth: "Yuer, at present, I'm afraid that I can't announce to the public that you are pregnant with an emperor's heir. On the contrary, I will ask Zhong Zhenliang to forbid your mouth. I can't give you a back seat at this time. I'm sorry for what I promised you, but I broke my promise. Don't blame me.

Mo Ziyao shook her head, leaned her face against his chest, and whispered, "No, emperor, don't think nonsense."

She didn't know that he didn't mean to. She knew that he was also doing it for her and wanted to protect her. However, since he came back, he hasn't mentioned anything about Xuefei. Then, she tried not to mention it. Every time she thought of Xuefei's death, the words of the Empress Dowager seemed to appear in her ear again.

It's terrible. She didn't know how he persisted when he saw such a scene at that time.

The two lay down for a while, and Mo Ziyao heard him suddenly moan in a low voice. Surprised, he saw Ruan Lingzheng suddenly open his eyes. Only then did I know that he had just fallen asleep.

He also said that he couldn't sleep. In fact, he was really tired and fell asleep in such a short time. Did you dream of something? Otherwise, why did you suddenly wake up?

Ruan Lingzheng looked down at Mo Ziyao, his face was a little ugly, and he opened his lips and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

Mo Ziyao understands how not to feel uncomfortable. He raised his hand and touched his forehead, but he shook his head: "No..." After the words fell, he let go of Mo Ziyao's hand and turned over.

Mo Ziyao hurriedly followed and whispered, "Your Majesty, I will sleep for a while, and my concubine will be by your side."

Ruan Lingzheng did not lie down and was silent for a long time before suddenly said, "In the afternoon, I went to see the assassin last night."

Mo Ziyao was shocked, but she didn't interrupt. Hearing him say, "It's not an outsider, it's his own." When he said this, his face darkened slightly.

In fact, Mo Ziyao also guessed this, but listening to Ruan Lingzheng's tone, he seemed to have found evidence.

"Now the emperor's guard has not yet stood. He is not responsible for such a big thing happened last night. It's just that in today's situation, I allow him to commit crimes. Today, he came with amazing news. He glanced at Mo Ziyao and continued, "Those assassins are from the imperial army."

Mo Ziyao was shocked and looked at him with big eyes. It was the imperial army! No wonder they entered the palace so easily and were so familiar with the terrain in the palace. Even the fact that the imperial guard led the imperial guard to Tianze Palace and waited for the opportunity to kill the snow concubine can be calculated so accurately.

I was shocked that the Royal Forest Army turned out to be Liu Jisheng, the cousin of Hui Guifei. Are those his people? But Liu Jisheng is dead. Is it true that Liu Yanfei is behind the scenes?

Mo Ziyao thought, but Ruan Lingzheng had denied her idea and said, "It can't be Liu Yanfei's person. He is an old fox. If he really wants to do such a thing, he won't be so blatantly."

Indeed, if you say so, you can't say no. Mo Ziyao took a breath and said, "That..." She didn't forget that he was also Liu Yanfei's person at the beginning.

Although Mo Ziyao doesn't know what method he used to make him obedient, since he said so, he didn't have to worry about it.

Ruan Lingzheng said again: "I have issued an order to thoroughly investigate the imperial army. Yesterday was not the first time. I think there are also people fishing in troubled waters!" The sharp light slowly convered in his eyes, which seemed to connect the incident at the West Hunting Ground. Who would have thought that those assassins were mixed in the imperial army.

Mo Ziyao's geocentric is a little uneasy. It is indeed difficult for the Royal Forest Army to investigate the elite division gathered from all over the country. More importantly, Chu Qingtian is the commander of the imperial army. Although he is not in Huangtian City, he is still responsible for supervision.

Only now, we can only cleanse the imperial army. However, it is impossible to change all the blood. I just hope that no one can do this wholeheartedly.

sighed and said, "At these days, the emperor still rested in Tianze Palace at night." This is the safest place to guard the whole palace. Even if another assassin comes, it can't hurt him.

Although, she also knew that there would be no more assassins breaking in. Just because the other party's purpose has been achieved. Now, wait for Emperor Yutan to receive the news and then send troops.

Ruan Lingzheng nodded and said, "I have decreed Liu Yanfei to send troops to the border between Ruan Nan Dynasty and Yutan."

Mo Ziyao was shocked and took a breath and said, "Is the emperor going to entrust him with a heavy responsibility? It is said that he still seems to maintain a delicate relationship with Yutan. If he is sent to resist Yutan at this time, does the emperor think he will really do his best?" If he fainted and colluded with Yu Tan to fight against Ruan Lingzheng in turn, what should he do?

A flash of light flashed in Ruan Lingzheng's eyes, but he was silent. Sure enough, he was also worried. It's just that everything came too suddenly. According to Ruan Lingzheng's original plan, he would first get rid of Liu Yanfei, take back his military power, and then choose a reliable person. At that time, he would not be as afraid as he is now.

Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, you have to make a choice at this time, either trust him again and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, or kill him to get back the military power. This choice is very difficult for Ruan Lingzheng.

After this series of events, it is obvious that Ruan Lingzheng no longer trusts Liu Yanfei. Liu Yanfei also had the intention of vigilance and rebellion. Now, it is even more difficult to be loyal to him.

For a long time, Ruan Lingzheng said, "In addition to Liu Yanfei, most of the military power is in Ruan Lingheng's hands. If the war is really started, if I order him to send some people to deal with Yutan at this time, there should be no reason for him to refuse. Even if he had other ideas in mind, it was impossible to take this opportunity to seize Ruan Nanguo. He still did so during the National War. After all, he lost the right time, place and people. He must be as smart as him and should know how to choose. As long as he is willing to help me this time and save me from the invasion of the Celestial Empire in the future, I will give him everything he wants.

Mo Ziyao was shocked and blurted out, "The emperor is thinking..." Perhaps, she has guessed what Ruan Lingzheng was thinking.

Ruan Lingzheng frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "If he can protect me, Ruan Nanguo's mountains and rivers, what about giving him the throne?" As long as he can preserve the integrity of my land and protect the safety of my people. What about my Ruan family's hand to Jiangshan?

"hehe." Ruan Lingzheng smiled helplessly and said, "At this point, it's only because I was still a short time when I ascended the throne, and most of my military power was controlled by others, which created today's two difficult situations. King Pingzhen, although I know that he is not the real 'King of Pingzhen', now only his special identity can protect my Ruan Nanguo. Although he did not have the blood of the Ruan Nan family, he also restrained himself because of his status as the king of Pingzhen. Liu Yanfei has already had a heart of uncompent. His ambition is the heart of Sima Zhao. It is known to passers-by that if the Ruan Nan Dynasty falls into his hands, I believe that the people of the Ruan family will definitely be killed and slaughtered. Therefore, I will never let him go. Even if the war comes, I will solve the Liu family first.
