Xu Yanyan felt as if she had been electrocuted. What exactly did Zhou Wenli want to do? How could he make such a request? This was worse than killing her.

Xu Yanyan would rather be executed by slow slicing than do that. Lying with He Liufeng like that, she would rather die now.

But what should Chen'er do? Why use Chen'er to threaten her?

Xu Yanyan trembled all over, her mind a mess. She wanted to refuse. She didn't care about her reputation; she could endure being cursed by the world forever. But her Chen'er was still so young.

"I have other things to do right now, we'll talk about this later." Xu Yanyan glanced at the person and spoke while suppressing her anger. They had humiliated her like this, and she couldn't even get angry at them. Xu Yanyan felt a metallic taste rise in her throat, but she forced herself to suppress it.

Xu Yingying is about to disappear from his sight, and he must save his sister first.

Unexpectedly, the man did not allow Xu Yanyan to refuse at all, and directly threatened, "The master said that if Princess Anping does not go now, we are not sure if the little prince will still be alive."

"You." Xu Yanyan stared wide-eyed at the people in front of her. They actually wanted to kill Chen'er. Xu Yanyan wanted to curse, but when she thought that her son was still in their hands, she couldn't say anything. She had no doubt that Zhou Wenli was joking, but he really might kill Chen'er.

"I hope Princess Anping will make a choice quickly, otherwise the little prince..." The man sneered, successfully seeing Xu Yanyan's expression change drastically, before turning and leaving.

Because he was certain that Xu Yanyan would not hesitate for a moment when it came to anything related to the young prince.

Watching the person disappear, Zhiyuan looked at Xu Yanyan worriedly, "Miss, what should we do now?"

"Go see Yingying first. Yingying absolutely cannot be in any danger." Chen'er should have already been rescued by Qu Qingxi, and she must go see her sister now.

If something were to happen to Yingying, Xu Yanyan couldn't even imagine how heartbroken her parents would be. They were already devastated when she was forced into a marriage alliance, and now Yingying couldn't afford to have anything happen to her too.

Xu Yanyan followed Xu Yingying with her kite. She could only take a gamble now, betting that Qu Qingxi hadn't lied to her and that Qu Qingxi had really rescued Chen'er.

While the group was talking, the palace maid had already led Xu Yingying quite far away, so Xu Yanyan had no choice but to quicken her pace to catch up.

Fortunately, they hadn't gone very far, and Xu Yanyan caught up quickly.

The palace maid led Xu Yingying into a side hall. Xu Yanyan looked up and was stunned when she saw the plaque in front of the hall: Yunshu Hall.

Isn't this the place that person just told me to go?

So, where is He Liufeng now? And Yingying...

No, it's not possible.

Xu Yanyan ran inside in a panic, but was grabbed by a hand from behind. Xu Yanyan disregarded her manners and tried to shake the hand off, but couldn't. "Zhiyuan, let go of me."

“Miss, it’s not me…” Paper Kite spoke timidly from the side.

Xu Yanyan suddenly turned around and saw Qu Qingxi pulling her along.

"Your Highness, hurry! There's something going on inside! The Prince and Yingying are both inside!" Upon seeing Qu Qingxi, Xu Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pointed to the palace in front of her to explain.

"Princess, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Come with me first." Qu Qingxi comforted Xu Yanyan and then pulled her aside.

They were standing right in front of Yunshu Palace, and anyone who opened the door would be able to see them.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Although Xu Yanyan was still a little anxious, she gradually calmed down when she saw Qu Qingxi's calm demeanor.

Qu Qingxi made a quiet gesture, then pointed ahead.

The young palace maid who had escorted Xu Yingying earlier quickly opened the door, glanced outside to make sure no one was around, then quietly stepped out, quickly closed the door, and hurried away.

Only after the little palace maid's figure disappeared did Qu Qingxi pull Xu Yanyan inside.

Qu Qingxi guessed that the palace maid must have gone to deliver a message to someone else, which was why she let her leave.

The four of them quickly entered the main hall, where they saw Xu Yingying lying fully clothed on the bed. He Liufeng was striding towards the door, and when he saw the door open, he gripped the hidden weapon in his hand tightly.

When He Liufeng saw that the person who came was Qu Qingxi, he breathed a sigh of relief and put away his hidden weapon.

As the group entered, Qingdai and Zhiyuan quickly closed the door to the main hall.

"What's going on? Why are you here?" He Liufeng looked at Qu Qingxi in confusion.

"I just saw a suspicious-looking person walking this way, so I followed. Then I saw Xu Yingying being helped in by a palace maid, with Princess Anping and her maids following behind them," Qu Qingxi explained briefly.

"What's going on with you? What are you doing here?" Qu Qingxi couldn't hide her surprise when she saw He Liufeng appear here.

“When I saw you come out, I was about to come and find you. A little eunuch said he saw that you were not feeling well, so he came here. After I came in, I found that there was sleeping incense burning inside. I took this opportunity to pretend to faint and wanted to see what they were going to do. Then I heard two more people come in after the little eunuch left.”

The door was closed, and I got up to leave, and then you came in.

"Then what about her? Why was she brought here?" Qu Qingxi frowned as she looked at Xu Yingying, who had already fallen unconscious on the bed.

“Someone poured tea on her dress and deliberately brought her here. I was worried about her, so I followed them.” Xu Yanyan looked at the person on the bed with heartache.

Then, remembering something, she quickly pulled Qu Qingxi aside.

"Your Highness, Chen'er..." Xu Yanyan looked at Qu Qingxi anxiously, afraid that she had made the wrong bet.

"I rescued him. He's safe in the Prince's mansion now, so don't worry." As soon as Xu Yanyan spoke, Qu Qingxi knew what she wanted to ask.

"That's good, that's good." Hearing the answer she had been waiting for, Xu Yanyan couldn't help but shed tears.

"By the way, Your Highness, when I came out with Yingying just now, Zhou Wenli's men said that I should come to Yunshu Palace, saying that the Prince is here. They also said that I should lie down with the Prince, and they even threatened me with Chen'er." Time was of the essence, and Xu Yanyan could not hesitate to tell the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Qu Qingxi nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Although she didn't know what Zhou Wenli, that madman, was planning, thankfully they arrived quickly, and nothing had happened. He Liufeng had also given herself the antidote.
