Chapter 47: Wasted

"Qillang, stop it!" Li Yuanying tried to stop Qillang while tidying up her clothes.

Qilang had no intention of stopping. He was filled with murderous intent and could no longer suppress it.

The prince screamed and tried to break free. He wanted to attract other people's attention, but no one came to save him.

"Answer me, right?" Qilang asked through gritted teeth.

"How dare you be so rude to this king..."

Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could finish his words, Qilang stepped on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's right shoulder and pulled hard. Blood splattered and screams were heard. The right arm was actually torn off alive.

Li Yuanying gasped when she saw this.

"Let me ask you again, are you listening here?"

Qi Lang pressed down on the Crown Prince's lower body, and the Crown Prince immediately begged for mercy in pain: "Be obedient, be obedient..."

He begged with tears, but Qilang remained expressionless.

Before Li Yuanying could stop it, a ball of blue fireworks burned in the Crown Prince's lower body.

Qilang took a step back, making room for the Crown Prince to roll on the ground, but he was unable to extinguish the blue fireworks from his lower body.

His face was distorted, tears and snot mixed together, and he was screaming like a stray dog.

The prince was anxious and in pain. He knelt on the ground and begged Qilang: "Hero, help me, ah ah ah ah, help me!!!"

Qilang smiled coldly: "Disobedient children must be punished."

Li Yuanying looked at the furious Qilang in fear. This was the current crown prince. How would this end?

"Stop!" Zhang Qingchen rushed in from outside the door, but Qilang just gave him a look and sent him flying far away.

"Qilang, stop it now." Li Yuanying hugged Qilang, "Be obedient, stop it now, or else..."

Qi Lang looked at Li Yuanying and hugged her: "He bullied you, I must teach him a lesson."

"I know, my husband, I know, but... he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Qi Lang frowned: "Just because he's the crown prince, does that mean he can do whatever he wants? You're my wife, and he dares to humiliate you. How can I swallow this?"

Li Yuanying looked at the prince's miserable condition and knew that he must be crippled.

Li Yuanying's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and countless possibilities flashed through her mind.

Then, she gritted her teeth, picked up the Frost Ember, and prepared to stab it into the Crown Prince's chest.

At this moment, a flash of fire appeared. It was a stone thrown by Zhang Qingchen outside the door that deflected Li Yuanying's sword.

"Wanwan! What are you going to do!" Zhang Qingchen roared.

At this time, Qilang also extinguished the fire in the prince's lower body and looked at Zhang Qingchen indifferently.

"What should I do?" Li Yuanying found it a little funny. "What else can I do? Should I let the tiger go back to the mountain?!"

"Don't make the same mistake again!" Zhang Qingchen flew in, his face full of anger.

"It's come to this!" Li Yuanying glared at Zhang Qingchen coldly. "Right or wrong doesn't matter now. What matters is that I can't let him return to Chang'an and file another complaint with the Emperor."

"Do you think you can rest easy now that the prince is dead?"

"It's all death, why don't I seize the initiative first."

"Wanwan, don't worry." Qilang thought Li Yuanying would scold him, but he didn't expect that in this situation, her reaction would be to help him kill the prince. She was indeed not the same kind of person as Zhang Qingchen.

"How can I not be worried?" Li Yuanying took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "I know you're seeking revenge for me. He's really not a good person and deserves what he got. But now, what do you think we should do?"

"You did the right thing. I support killing him."

"You! Have you two ever considered your families? This will bring disaster to your entire clan!"

Qilang looked at Zhang Qingchen's anxious look and found it somewhat amusing: "However, since your senior brother is so scared, I also have a way to avoid killing him."

"Don't kill him?" Li Yuanying asked.

"Yes, let him live. He might be useful in the future."

"So what are we going to do?"

Qilang chuckled: "Your Highness, do you still remember the masked bug?"

The prince was sweating profusely from the pain and was no longer able to answer Qilang.

"Do you know where the Gu Mother is?" Qilang had a sinister expression on his face. He took out a small box from his arms and said, "Guess what this is?"

Qilang placed the box next to the prince's ear, and the prince's skin began to undulate as if thousands of small insects were wriggling.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!” The prince began to scream again. He cried miserably and crawled out while crying, “Save me… Save me quickly…”

Zhang Qingchen immediately closed the door.

"Don't shout." He said to the prince in a deep voice.

The prince then realized that these three people were of one mind.

"You...it turns out there really is something wrong with the Zhang family...I didn't believe it before..."

"Your Highness, if you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, don't blame me for activating the insect poison. Do you understand?" Qilang squatted down and patted the prince's cheek.

"I don't like disobedient children." Qilang leaned over and whispered in the prince's ear.

"Okay... okay... I won't say anything. I won't say anything..." The prince nodded repeatedly in fear.

"You can't just say nothing." Li Yuanying spoke.

The prince looked at the woman with a painful expression. He now regretted why he had been so obsessed with provoking her.

After Li Yuanying finished explaining everything, she looked at the prince's lower body and said, "Hurry to Chang'an, let's set off now."

With such a high fever, if he is not sent to the Imperial Hospital as soon as possible, the prince will probably lose his life.

*

At noon the next day, a group of people traveled all night to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the palace, and all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were gathered together again.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace had a heavy expression on their faces. Queen Jiang cried day and night, and the Emperor had no intention of attending the morning court.

Zhang Yuanpan, the director of the Imperial Hospital, was already in his sixties. He looked at the emperor with trepidation and an expression of difficulty.

"Your Majesty, the prince is no longer in danger, but..." Court Judge Zhang sighed.

"Just what?" The emperor was extremely anxious.

"But it will be inhumane from now on..."

When Zhang Yuanpan said this, the emperor flew into a rage, and all the doctors in the room knelt down in fear.

"Who is it? Who made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince become like this?" the emperor roared.

"I heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he was resting in his room that day when a man in black suddenly came in and attacked him. He only remembered that the man in black used fire magic." said Zhao Yin, the eunuch beside the emperor.

"Have you found the person?"

"Not yet. The Guardians of the Ming Dynasty have already begun their investigation."

"You must hand over the man to me within three days! Otherwise, the Li and Zhang families will be buried with him! It's all their fault. They failed to protect the prince!" The emperor then picked up the teacup on the table and threw it into the distance.

After Li Yuanying and her group returned the Crown Prince, they were placed under house arrest in the palace. She had anticipated this from the beginning. With the Crown Prince in this state, even though they threatened him not to betray them, the Emperor would still vent his anger on them.

Sure enough, Eunuch Zhao came to convey his order, requiring them to solve the case within three days.

This was also within Li Yuanying's expectations.

They only need to frame whoever they want within three days.

In fact, Li Yuanying was not very worried about the Li family. Before going to Yanshan, she had already sent a letter to her family, asking Li Zhongdao to take Li Yuanxi and others out to hide for a while.

The emperor wants to find them now, but it will be difficult to find them in a short time.

As for Zhang Qingchen, his father is no longer alive and he is unmarried, so he can be said to be alone.

It’s just Shichiro…

Although the laws of Chang'an do not affect him and he can go back to Buzhou Mountain, she is his wife and he will eventually feel pain.

I hope he has no feelings for me, so that he can forget me soon.

There were too many things to do today, and they were tired from the long journey, so the three of them decided to take a good rest for the night and officially take action tomorrow.

The father-in-law only prepared two rooms for them, so Li Yuanying and Qilang lived in one.

Although they had the opportunity to live together since their wedding, they had never been able to break through that layer of window paper. This time, they lived together again, and their relationship had undergone subtle changes, so it was a bit awkward at the moment.

Li Yuanying felt that the air had solidified. She coughed twice, walked to the bed, and sat down beside it.

"How about...we move a quilt in the middle..." She was the first to suggest that this was a compromise.

Qilang's smile deepened: "I don't want it."

Li Yuanying was stunned. It seemed that her husband was being too arrogant again today and was going to make trouble again.

Qilang came over and sat next to Li Yuanying. He said, "You don't allow others to see it, so why don't you allow your husband to see it?"

Li Yuanying's face suddenly felt hot.

Qilang is sometimes innocent and sometimes provocative, he is really changeable.

"Do you really want to see it?" Li Yuanying wanted to test him and see how capable he was.

Qilang was indeed taken aback by the question: "Really, really?"

His behavior became noticeably stiff, which Li Yuanying found amusing.

Qilang was a little reserved, but Li Yuanying felt bolder.

"Then where do you want to see first?" She smiled charmingly.

Qilang swallowed his saliva. With the beauty in front of him and the night of love about to begin, he felt a little nervous and excited.

"I……"

"Um?"

Seeing that Qilang was just staring at her, Li Yuanying began to undress.

Unexpectedly, her action made Qilang jump up.

"What are you going to do!"

Li Yuanying feigned innocence: "It's night time, so of course I sleep. My husband, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Just sleep, why..." Qilang also felt that what he said was wrong. To sleep, one naturally has to undress, so he just shut his mouth.

"Husband, do you need my help?" Li Yuanying said softly. She looked at Qilang with affection, and her eyes seemed to be dripping with water.

"Help me what..." Qilang felt weak all over and slumped down on the bed, watching the woman in front of him approach him.

"Husband, what else can I do for you? Of course, I'll help you..."
