Chapter 94: Prince, I was wrong
"I will order the mobilization of all troops and manpower to search for them with all our might."
Previously, the emperor only sent Cui Zhe and Jiang Yu, but now he can't take care of anything else.
Xiao Yan was stopped today, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
It is impossible for him to live forever, and it is even more impossible for him to stop Xiao Yan forever.
The only solution now is to find Meng Mingshu and her daughter.
At this moment, the emperor hoped that Meng Mingshu would be alive more than anyone else.
The emperor looked at Xiao Yan dejectedly: "Are you satisfied with this?"
Fearing that Xiao Yan would become agitated again, the emperor added:
"If Meng Mingshu is found, she probably won't want a eunuch as her husband."
The only person Xiao Yan cares about most is Meng Mingshu.
Sure enough, Xiao Yan calmed down.
"One month."
Xiao Yan didn't really want to castrate himself. He just didn't trust the emperor, nor did he believe that he would try his best to find Meng Mingshu and her daughter.
So he could only force himself.
Xiao Yan was indeed going crazy today.
He even wanted to die with everyone and kill his father directly.
But thinking of Meng Mingshu and Tuan'er, Xiao Yan could only try his best to stay calm.
It is impossible for people to disappear without reason.
The emperor must have sent people to search. Since there were no bodies around, it was enough to prove that Meng Mingshu and Tuan'er were not dead.
That means he was taken away.
No matter what the other party's purpose is or what they want to do.
As long as someone is captured, traces will be left behind.
Xiao Yan also had some suspects in his mind, and they were none other than members of the royal family.
"I'll only give you one month. No matter what method you use, if I can't see them within a month..."
The emperor interrupted Xiao Yan and said, "I know, there's no need to say more..."
The emperor looked like he had aged ten years.
But the emperor knew that he could not blame Xiao Yan, and he could only blame himself.
…
Zhao Zhiyuan watched the emperor retreat again and again, and she understood that the emperor had completely compromised.
She would be the one sacrificed again.
Zhao Zhiyuan looked at the Queen Mother pleadingly.
Trying to get the Queen Mother's help.
But no, the Queen Mother simply looked away.
Zhao Zhiyuan collapsed on the ground and understood everything.
The emperor has spoken, and Xiao Yan is so determined today that he is willing to castrate himself.
This undoubtedly hit the empress dowager's soft spot.
There was still hope before of drugging Xiao Yan and giving birth to a son, but that is impossible now.
The Queen Mother was also afraid.
She also wants to give up her.
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Zhiyuan took a gamble and hugged Xiao Yan's legs.
"Your Highness! I truly adore you. I am your Crown Princess..."
"Please give me an identity."
She couldn't be sent back to the Zhao family like this.
Unfortunately, Zhao Zhiyuan's tears did not earn Xiao Yan's pity or any leniency.
Some just a heavy kick.
She was kicked out mercilessly by Xiao Yan, crawling on the ground, her whole body in pain.
This kick was enough to show Xiao Yan's attitude.
This is more humiliating than any words.
Xiao Yan looked at her with only indifference, disgust, and coldness in his eyes.
He wouldn't even say a word to her.
He had nothing but disdain for her from the beginning to the end.
Zhao Zhiyuan collapsed on the ground, crying and laughing.
She covered her face, looking at the red all around her and the people in the room.
She has been arrogant since she was a child, trying to be strong in everything. She has been building her reputation for many years and is most afraid of becoming a laughing stock.
But now, she has become a complete joke.
In front of everyone, with so many people witnessing all this.
Today's incident had no impact on either the emperor or Xiao Yan.
No one dared to talk about the emperor and the royal family behind their backs.
No one dared to blame the prince for acting so impulsively for a woman.
They would only say that the prince was infatuated.
Indeed, Xiao Yan let everyone know his love for Meng Mingshu and his unwavering devotion to her until his death.
If Meng Mingshu were still alive, I'm afraid no one would dare to look down on her anymore.
No one in the Lin family will dare to offend them from now on.
She and the Zhao family are completely different...
Seeing the gazes of the guards on her at this moment, Zhao Zhiyuan felt it was a joke, a mockery...
She could even foresee how everyone in the capital would pity her tomorrow.
There was a hint of pity mixed with a gloating mockery, mocking her for not knowing her place, mocking her for not being able to win the prince's heart...
Zhao Zhiyuan clenched her palms tightly, she hated it so much...
I've never hated it so much.
I hate Meng Mingshu and I also hate Xiao Yan.
Meng Mingshu is dead, but Xiao Yan is still alive...
…
"How dare you come to see me?"
After the prince's wedding banquet that day, Li Shen had always wanted to secretly capture Zhao Zhiyuan.
But Zhao Zhiyuan stayed indoors and refused to go out. When they heard that she was seriously ill, the Zhao family invited imperial physicians again and again.
But he never expected that just a few days later, Zhao Zhiyuan would take the initiative to appear in front of him.
"Prince!"
Zhao Zhiyuan knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes, and his face was obviously as pale as paper.
In just a few days, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, so thin that she could hardly support the plain palace dress she was wearing.
"Prince, I was wrong."
Zhao Zhiyuan knelt down and hugged Li Shen's legs.
"I was bewildered and failed the prince. Zhi Yuan doesn't dare to ask for his forgiveness.
I only ask you to give Zhiyuan a chance, so that I can stay by your side, even if it’s just as a concubine…”
Li Shen was a little surprised. He thought Zhao Zhiyuan would make excuses, but she didn't. Instead, she admitted it.
But this is indeed Zhao Zhiyuan.
Li Shen lifted up Zhao Zhiyuan's extremely beautiful face with his big hand.
Her whole face was pale and sickly.
Li Shen didn't want to admit that he had clearly thought about killing this woman.
But now that she was so miserable, he still felt a little bit sorry for her.
"Do you think I'll want an unfaithful woman like you a second time?"
"Don't even mention being a concubine. Even if you were a maid, I would find it dirty if I kept her by my side!"
Zhao Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but just looked up at him, with red and wet eyes, looking so pitiful.
Then Zhao Zhiyuan's slender white hands grabbed Li Shen's belt.
