Hearing Ye Wanqing calling out "Brother Ye Fan" in a daze, Murong Yan was afraid that her secret would be exposed, so he quickly sent Nanny Jiang away.
Nanny Jiang was in a dilemma and tried to stop him, saying, "The Crown Prince is a girl after all. It's probably not appropriate for Your Highness to be alone in a room with her."
Murong Yan was unwilling to leave, so he simply said, "I have already touched Ah Xu's body, and we have had physical contact in Wanxiang Tower. There is no other way except to marry her."
Nanny Jiang exclaimed in surprise, "What! Your Highness, have you known for a long time that the prince is a girl?"
Murong Yan pursed his lips and said nothing. Damn, why didn’t he think about it that way at the beginning!
I still think there is something wrong with my orientation!
If I had known that my 'brother' was actually a sister, I would have...
Wait, why do I have such beastly thoughts?
He looked at the haggard figure on the bed and suddenly asked himself: Is she Chen Xu or Ye Wanqing? Does he like Chen Xu or Ye Wanqing?
All the moments I had with her suddenly came to my mind, her dimpled smiles and her heart-pounding words.
"Your Highness, because I am pure, I want to seduce you..."
"Your Highness, Chen Xu's death will not be in vain, and neither will mine. From today on, I am the Marquis's Prince, Chen Xu..."
"Your Highness, you really don't need to feel guilty. I should be the one to say thank you. Without you helping me..."
"Your Highness, I discovered that I like you too..."
Murong Yan suddenly realized that his world was filled with her shadow, Ye Wanqing's shadow!
He liked Ye Wanqing from the beginning to the end, even though he wishfully thought that she was a man!
His Qingqing is cuter than Chen Xu in every way.
Although Shen Xu is quite miserable.
Murong Yan argued for Chen Xu: "Besides, have you, the people in the Marquis' Mansion, ever really cared about this prince? Apart from preventing her from exposing her daughter's body, have you ever considered her feelings? Have you ever cared about her thoughts?!"
Nanny Jiang was eager to report to Madam Fu first, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, your health is also important. You should go to the guest room to rest first. The servants will take care of the prince."
Murong Yan sat on the edge of the bed and said bluntly, "I will stay with her and will take responsibility for what she did. I have already asked my father and uncle to propose marriage to the Marquis, and I will definitely not let your son down."
He reached out and held Ye Wanqing's hand, thinking to himself, I will definitely ask my father to canonize you as the Crown Princess and marry you legitimately.
Let's work together to bring the murderer who killed Ah Xu to justice and give her justice.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang felt that the matter had become a big deal and panicked, "Even His Majesty already knows the identity of the prince! This, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Could it be that His Majesty has misunderstood that our Marquis has some conspiracy?"
What can I do? This old servant has no say in the matter. I must immediately write a letter to the southern border to ask Madam to return to the capital!"
Murong Yan was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Ye Wanqing had repeatedly told him to keep Shen Xu's secret before she fainted. If this matter were to be made public, many people would definitely make a big fuss about it, which would be detrimental to the Marquis' Mansion.
He nodded and told Nanny Jiang, "Well, please quickly ask Madam Fu to return to the capital to discuss this matter."
Murong Yan felt that the matter was becoming tricky and he didn't know what to do.
Nanny Jiang hesitated for a moment and hurried out of the bedroom.
Ye Wanqing clutched his hand tightly, sobbing and murmuring in her sleep: "Murong Yan...how could you...cut off Brother Ye Fan's...fingers...without his fingers, how can he still be a general..."
"Qingqing." Murong Yan was stunned. They didn't actually catch the masked gunman, but injured him and he escaped. However, in order to rescue Ye Wanqing, he made up a trick for Murong Yao.
Unexpectedly, Ye Wanqing misunderstood me.
The masked gunman turned out to be her brother, General Ye Fan!
He had already ordered a city-wide search because his brother was injured and no one knew where he was hiding.
Murong Yan quickly pulled his hand away and wanted to inform Liu Zhang not to hurt her brother after catching the masked gunman.
But she held his hand tightly, "Don't go..."
Murong Yan let her hold his hand, whispered her name, and comforted her: "Qingqing, don't worry, I didn't really cut his fingers. Your eldest brother's martial arts skills are too strong, we didn't catch him..."
He shouted towards the door several times, and finally summoned a secret guard, who ordered: "Go and inform Liu Zhang that the masked gunman must be captured alive, and his life must not be harmed!
Let the river patrol team and the royal guards withdraw and stand by. Treat the wounded as soon as possible and provide compensation to the families of the deceased as soon as possible.
The captured killer was tortured severely to make sure that the mastermind behind the incident was revealed. The retainers were asked to draft a memorial overnight to impeach Minister Liu on the grounds that he accepted bribes and formed cliques.
Another report on Murong Yao said that he colluded with foreign countries and attempted to disrupt the country.
Also, send someone to keep an eye on the eldest daughter of Censor Xu's family, and watch her every move carefully."
The secret guard received the order and retreated quickly.
Murong Yan looked at Ye Wanqing's face with deep eyes, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Qingqing, I will never allow anyone to hurt you again."
He gently held her hand and said self-deprecatingly, "I used to be a very relaxed person. I never forced myself to get what I couldn't get, and I was even too lazy to fight for it. I just followed my heart and didn't think about making progress.
As for the position of Crown Prince, if Father gives it to me, I will take it. If not, I don't care...
All along, it was my uncle who managed things for me, fought for me, and overcame all opposition in the court...
All the civil and military officials said that I was not fit to be the crown prince, not fit to control the government, and not fit to rule the country.
But I never care what they think, and never care about other people's opinions. It can be seen that even Murong Yao cares more about the position of crown prince than I do.
But you told me that day that it is precisely because there are so many unfair things in this world that I need to cheer up, become a wise ruler, and change the world.
I suddenly had a goal, as if I suddenly had the courage. I wanted to fight for that position and fight for our future.
You always say you want to thank me, but actually I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for your constant encouragement...
I don't want to let down anyone anymore, I don't want to let down everyone's expectations of me, let down your encouragement to me...
Qingqing..."
At this time, the anxious voice of Nanny Jiang and the angry footsteps of Lord Shen were heard outside the door.
"My Lord, it's so late. What are you doing looking for the prince? He's sick and has already gone to bed. My Lord, you should see him tomorrow."
"Get out of here! I'm going to break this rebellious son's legs today!"
"My Lord, the prince is really ill and cannot see you..." Nanny Jiang's figure was already blocking the door.
Lord Shen's voice was filled with anger as he said bluntly, "Jiang Ning! If you dare to stop me again, go back to the southern border!"
After that, the door was kicked open.
"Treason!"
