He held the child in his arms, patted his forehead, and handed it to Lin Qingtang. He then asked Qin Mu and the others to leave and asked Liang Luochu:
"Can you tell me how you rescued the child?"
Liang Luochu nodded, and then began to describe in detail how she met the mother and child, and how the child's mother tried her best to entrust the child to her with tears and pain.
After she finished speaking, she noticed that the nobleman in front of her did not move for a long time.
So I looked up and found that the eyes of this imposing man were red and there seemed to be tears in his eyes after listening to it.
Mo Qiyuan closed his eyes.
"Yin Yi, you and your men must advance at full speed. If Bai Ruoli finds out the child is missing, he will definitely rush to the border with his wife. You must stop him for me.
Also, have someone send a message to Lin Qingfeng, asking him to intensify searches along the border and arrest any suspicious individuals who appear."
"Yes, Master!"
After saying this, Mo Qiyuan looked at Liang Luochu:
"Thank you for saving my child and protecting and treating him so well. Please feel free to ask for any reward or favor you desire. I will do my best to satisfy you."
Liang Luochu shook his head:
"I didn't save the young master for any reward, but simply because a mother placed her trust and hope in me. As a mother myself, I know how much courage it takes to make such a decision. So, I don't want to disappoint her, and naturally, I will protect the young master in every way."
Mo Qiyuan nodded in approval and appreciated her words.
"Since that is the case, Wei Lingfeng, pass on my oral order to confer Liang Luochu the title of Third Rank Imperial Official and grant him a residence in the capital. The Liang family business will be used as a royal merchant for generations."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Buzz!
Hearing this, Liang Luochu's mind went blank.
What! He is the Emperor! The current emperor!
Then... that child, isn't he the only prince that the emperor has now? And the mother of the child that I saw yesterday is really the Empress Dowager, the mother of the country?
Liang Luochu stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to react. He quickly knelt down and thanked Mo Qiyuan.
After Mo Qiyuan had rewarded the Liang family and Qin Mu, he took the children and chased after them all the way to the border.
Of course, the child was carried in the carriage by Lin Qingtang, and Liang Luochu also carefully selected a reliable wet nurse for him to follow. After all, the child's food supply could not be cut off.
…
As for Ye Jinyun, after Bai Ruoli discovered that her child was missing, she sped up her journey and headed for the border without sleep. The journey that would have taken two days was completed in just one day, which exhausted the two horses in the carriage to death.
When they arrived at a forest near the border of Beirong and Daqi, Bai Ruoli and his group abandoned the carriage and went into the nearby mountains. Ye Jinyun, who was tied up, was held in Xiong Er's hands and followed them through the mountains and forests.
Bai Ruoli had covered her eyes with a black cloth after they entered the mountain, so she could only figure out by feeling that they were heading towards the heart of the valley.
After she couldn't tell how long they had been walking, she felt that several people stopped in front of a mountain range.
Then Bai Ruoli didn't know what she did, but Ye Jinyun felt a damp and earthy smell coming towards her as if from a cave, and then she was led into a corridor.
The corridor was very narrow, because Xiong Er, who was carrying Ye Jinyun, carried her on his back, which meant that the corridor was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Could it be that this is the secret passage leading to Da Qi secretly dug by Beirong?
Ye Jinyun figured it out.
No wonder the Beirong spy was able to sneak into Da Qi through the heavily guarded border. She actually used this trick. If she has a chance to escape, she must let Mo Qiyuan find and destroy this secret passage.
Bai Ruoli and his group took Ye Jinyun through the corridor for a whole day and night before they came out from the exit in Beirong territory.
Once she arrived in the territory of Beirong, she was no longer afraid. After sending a signal, people came to pick them up, and then Ye Jinyun was taken directly to the Beirong Palace by this group of people.
Ye Jinyun fainted from exhaustion after being stuffed into the carriage heading to the Beirong Palace because Bai Ruoli had not given her food or water for several days and she was exhausted from the long journey.
I’m so hungry…
Huh? Fried chicken, hamburgers, barbecue, crayfish... so much food, come on, come on, I'm starving...
Ah! How did it fly! My fried chicken, my barbecue, come back soon!
Suddenly she felt dizzy and slowly opened her eyes. She realized she was dreaming. Alas, she was wondering why the fried chicken grew wings and flew away.
Oh, I’m really hungry. Bai Ruoli, this bad woman, really doesn’t even give her food... Where is this?
Ye Jinyun was still immersed in the feeling of hunger, but suddenly found that she was no longer in the carriage, but in a stone chamber, and she was lying on the bed in the stone chamber.
Ye Jinyun quickly sat up, but felt dizzy again. Damn, she was so hungry that her hands and feet felt weak.
She forced herself to look around.
The stone chamber she was in was about thirty or forty square meters. There was a thick stone door on the thick stone wall on the left. There was no vent on the wall, but fresh air came into the room from somewhere. The stone chamber was filled with dark carvings, and on the wall facing Ye Jinyun, there was a strange black lotus painted on it.
If ordinary lotus flowers make people feel noble and detached, then this black lotus can only make people feel a dark and enchanting aura.
Just as Ye Jinyun continued to look at other items, the door of the stone chamber opened and two maids in black veil walked in from outside. She became alert instantly.
But the two maids seemed to have not noticed her actions at all. They stepped forward, bowed, and said:
"Please have dinner once Madam wakes up."
Only then did Ye Jinyun see that the maid behind him was holding food in her hands.
She didn't answer, but just nodded to the maid. The maid understood and put the food on the table for her, then closed the stone door again and went out.
Ye Jinyun stumbled out of bed and walked to the table. He ignored the alarm in his head that there was muscle softening powder in the food and began to eat voraciously.
Not to mention that the food was filled with soft tissue, even if it contained arsenic, she would still have to eat it. If she didn't eat something, she would really starve to death, and if she starved to death, the system wouldn't be able to save her.
After she finished the food, the two maids came in and took away the dishes, then asked her to have a good rest and left again, without giving Ye Jinyun any chance to talk.
Seeing this, Ye Jinyun had no choice but to lie down on the bed and rest, but she couldn't fall asleep because she was worried about her son.
I don’t know how my son is doing now, but the woman should treat him well.
Although she was thinking about these things, her body couldn't withstand the fatigue of the past few days, and she fell asleep again in a daze.
