Pang Xingyu stared wide-eyed at the crowd below the wall, all of whom were looking up at him!
The Crown Prince, Sang Shijing, Li Zewen, and the Imperial Guards.
Why are they all here?!
Li Zewen spoke slowly, "Your Highness, what brings you to my home in the middle of the night?"
Pang Xingyu was so frightened that he loosened his grip.
He quickly helped the person on his shoulder to a good position, and even pinched the soft flesh a couple of times.
Since he'd already been caught, he was completely unfazed and simply swayed the Dawn Pearl on his shoulder.
He smiled maliciously: "Father-in-law, your daughter, Li Yunyan, is already mine! I will have my mother come to the manor to propose marriage first thing tomorrow morning!"
Li Zewen had been brought over at the last minute and knew nothing about the matter. He was furious! "Prince Yu! What nonsense are you spouting? Yan'er is someone His Majesty has betrothed to the Sang family. Put my daughter down at once!"
"Then what should we do?"
Yu Wang chuckled nonchalantly, then pinched her cheek again in front of him, saying, "I've already treated Yan'er like this, I don't believe the Sang family will still want her!"
Pang Xingyu looked at Sang Shijing provocatively, "What do you think, Young Master Sang?"
The Crown Prince and Sang Shijing both frowned.
They had all spoken beforehand, and Yunyan had told them that no matter what happened, they should trust that she could handle it! But given the current situation and Pang Xingyu's confident assurances, they were still quite uncertain.
The Crown Prince said in a deep voice, "Sixth Brother, have you mistaken someone for someone else? Li Mingzhu is your fiancée, and the one in your hand should be the fourth young lady of the Li family, right?"
Sang Shijing stared intently at the figure on his shoulder. Although it looked somewhat different from Yan Yan's figure, what if it really was her?
He immediately made up his mind that even if it really was Yan Yan, he would only marry her in this life!
His gaze was firm, and he did not respond to Pang Xingyu's words.
Pang Xing was furious when he realized that neither the Crown Prince nor Sang Shijing believed him, and his attempt to put on a show had failed.
He turned the person on his shoulder to face them, and then brushed her hair up.
"Why would I lie to you? This face couldn't be fake, could it? Now you see clearly, right?!"
The three people below immediately tensed up!
"Father, what happened?" a sweet voice asked.
Everyone turned around and saw Li Yunyan walking out of her own front door, looking at them with a puzzled expression.
The people below breathed a sigh of relief.
Pang Xingyu felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Li Yunyan's face clearly!
What's going on?
He lowered his head, brushed aside his subordinate's hair, and took a closer look!
The person in my hand is not Li Yunyan.
This is clearly the Dawn Pearl!
How is this possible?!
Shock and tension caused him to loosen his grip, and the person in his hand fell straight down the wall!
"Bang!!"
Li Mingzhu's head hit the ground, but she didn't utter a sound, as if she were fast asleep.
Blood began to spread from her head.
"ah!"
Upon seeing this, Li Yunyan immediately cried out in fright!
Sang Shijing strode over and pulled her into his arms.
"Yanyan, don't be afraid! Don't look!"
"Waaah!"
Li Yunyan nestled into Sang Shijing's arms, breathing in his reassuring fragrance, and occasionally trembling slightly in alarm.
I miss him so much!
I want to hug you a little longer!
Pang Xingyu attempted to murder the daughter of a high-ranking official in the middle of the night, but was apprehended on the spot by the Imperial Guards led by the Crown Prince and sent to the palace for trial.
Before leaving, the Crown Prince exchanged a glance with Sang Shijing.
Sang Shijing, with Li Yunyan in his arms, nodded gratefully to the Crown Prince.
Li Zewen was busy looking for a doctor and arranging for people to carry Li Mingzhu back to the mansion, not knowing if she could be saved!
We can't control these two for the time being.
The two had a rare opportunity to spend some time together.
Once she felt there were no other people around, Li Yunyan raised her head and looked at Sang Shijing's face.
I haven't seen him for over a month, and he seems to have grown stronger and looks better!
She subtly touched his chest, noticing a slight increase in muscle, and asked curiously, "Have you been practicing martial arts lately?"
Sang Shijing's ears turned red from her pressing, and he coughed lightly, saying, "I want to be stronger so I can protect you!"
"I don't need protection, I'm very strong!" She shook her head in his arms, nuzzling his nose against him.
"Yes, I know Yanyan is amazing!" He tightened his grip and whispered, "But I was thinking that if I'm healthier, I can spend a few more years with you!"
Li Yunyan's eyes welled up with tears. What a simple and unadorned wish!
It must be met!
She said softly, "Shi Jing, don't worry! We will definitely live to be a hundred years old and grow old together!"
Sang Shijing looked at her affectionately, "Yes, let's grow old together!"
*
Li Mingzhu couldn't be saved; she was killed by Pang Xingyu when he threw her.
Pang Xingyu was punished by the emperor for murdering the daughter of a court official. He was stripped of his title of prince and became the sixth prince again.
He also pointed to a desolate, godforsaken place as his fiefdom and ordered him to go there immediately.
The moment the imperial decree was issued, Pang Xingyu vomited another mouthful of blood and collapsed unconscious.
Despite the imperial physicians' best efforts, it was ultimately too late to save him.
The sixth prince died.
Consort Min wept bitterly, kneeling before the Emperor's study, begging His Majesty for an explanation for her son!
The Crown Prince then presented evidence of the Minfei family's bribery of officials over the past few years. The Emperor subsequently banished Minfei to the Cold Palace.
