On the other side, Yanyang Kingdom.
The important task of investigating the kidnapping of the prince finally fell into Murong Yan's hands thanks to Lord Shen's strong recommendation.
In the court, a group of Liu family followers originally thought that with the defection of Lord Chen, they had impeached him for two days and believed that there was a chance that Murong Yan would be dethroned as the crown prince.
Unexpectedly, on the third day, Lord Shen suddenly stood up to protect the prince.
They said that the prince was not a bad person, but people always make mistakes, and that the private deployment of troops was also for the sake of public security in the capital.
He turned around and impeached the third prince Murong Yao, and asked the crown prince to order a strict investigation into the corruption case.
So the emperor gave the task of handling the prince's kidnapping case to Murong Yan and lifted his house arrest.
Fu Yi couldn't stand Ye Wanqing's pleading, so he took advantage of the time when Marquis Chen was in court and sneaked her to the East Palace.
Murong Yan was already injured and was whipped fifty times. He was seriously injured, but he wanted to fly to the Marquis' Mansion to see Ye Wanqing immediately and didn't want to delay for a moment.
He climbed up the tree of the East Palace with great difficulty, trying to find a gap in the guards to slip out.
"Your Highness, you are still injured. Please come down quickly, or you will be discovered by the guards."
The young eunuch in green clothes under the tree shouted anxiously, with his arms outstretched for fear that he would fall, as if his Royal Highness the Crown Prince was doing something extremely embarrassing again.
"Keep your voice down, human lives are at stake. It's all your fault that this prince was discovered!"
Suddenly, Murong Yan felt the branch under his feet sink, and two figures appeared beside him.
Murong Yan was so frightened that he almost fell down from the tree.
The magnetic voice sighed lightly and complained, "Your guards in the East Palace are too strict. Xu'er and I were almost caught."
Ye Wanqing praised: "Brother, your Qinggong is really good."
Fu Yi smiled triumphantly under his mask and jumped down the tree holding her in his arms.
"Murong Yan, come down, Xu'er has something to tell you."
"Qingqing!" Murong Yan was surprised and happy, and quickly climbed down from the tree.
The two were surprised to see him clumsily climbing down from the tree.
Fu Yi frowned and asked, "Murong Yan, where is your martial arts?"
Murong Yan got down from the tree and didn't rush to answer him. He strode towards Ye Wanqing, excitedly wanting to hug her.
"Qingqing, you finally woke up. Are you still in pain? Did your father give you any trouble? Let me see, you seem to have lost weight." He asked a series of questions, and the concern in his eyes could not be concealed.
Fu Yi took Ye Wanqing's hand, protected her to his side, and warned: "Murong Yan, what are you doing!"
"I'm fine. The wound on my leg isn't serious. Your Highness, let's go inside and talk."
Ye Wanqing glanced at Fu Yi and said, "Brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I have something important to discuss in private. Can you please…"
Hearing this, Fu Yi's mouth tightened. "Why do you have to avoid your eldest brother when whispering? What if he takes advantage of you? No, if you have anything to say, you have to say it to my face. I promise not to listen."
Ye Wanqing pouted, gently shook Fu Yi's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Brother, let's chat for a while and leave soon."
Fu Yi pursed his lips and said nothing. After a while, he said, "Okay."
"I want to eat the candied haws from Yunlai Restaurant. Big brother, please buy them for me."
"Okay." Fu Yi's tone was very gentle, and he touched her head lovingly.
Instead, he turned to Murong Yan and said fiercely, "Behave yourself, little bastard. If you dare to touch my sister, I'll chop off your fox paws."
"Brother, you are so kind."
Ye Wanqing hurriedly took Murong Yan's hand and limped, "Hurry up, let's go inside and talk."
Murong Yan followed her into the room and hugged her excitedly, "Qingqing, I was so worried. How did you subdue the big devil? How did he become so obedient?"
"Me too. That's great that you're okay." Ye Wanqing let him hold her and patted his back gently, but heard him hiss slightly.
Noticing that something was wrong with him, she quickly let go of him and asked with concern, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay..." Murong Yan shook his hand with a pale face and quickly explained: "Qingqing, I didn't cut Ye Fan's finger. Don't worry, his martial arts skills are too high, we didn't catch him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing felt as if a huge rock had fallen from her heart. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Well, we're all family, what's there to thank me for?" Murong Yan gently put his arm around her waist, squinted his eyes and leaned close to her face, saying in a sly way, "If you must thank me... just like we did that time at Wanxianglou, thank me with your body."
"You, scoundrel!" Ye Wanqing's face turned red when she heard that. She raised her hand and gently hit his chest.
Murong Yan clutched her chest and groaned, then faintly said, "You murdered my husband."
"Stop pretending. How can you be seriously injured?" Ye Wanqing slapped his shoulder angrily, but felt some bloodstains.
She panicked and hurried forward to support him, anxiously asking, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why is your back covered in blood?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious, I'm in good health, ouch."
"You said it's okay, but lie down quickly and let me take a look at you." Ye Wanqing pushed him to lie down on the couch.
Murong Yan resisted slightly, but felt warm in his heart. He said that it was okay, but he lay down on the couch very cooperatively.
"Take off your clothes quickly."
Murong Yan covered his collar, fearing that she would unbutton his clothes, and quickly said, "Don't look at it, it's too ugly. I'm afraid it will scare you and you won't like me anymore."
Ye Wanqing's face quickly turned red, and she said insincerely, "Who likes you? Stop being so conceited."
Murong Yan feigned disappointment and sighed, "Then this prince is being too self-indulgent. I even went to ask my father to appoint you as the Crown Princess."
Ye Wanqing was at a loss when she heard this. "Ah? How can you tell His Majesty about this? Wouldn't Shen Xu's secret be exposed?"
"Well... I didn't tell him. I just went to ask for a marriage." Murong Yan lay on the couch with his head supported. Even though he was injured, he still looked lazy and relaxed.
Like a fox lying on the beach basking in the sun.
"Then does His Majesty agree?"
Murong Yan moved to make room for Ye Wanqing, took her hand and asked her to sit down, and replied: "Well, I agree. You are the chosen princess, no one is more suitable than you."
"Your Majesty actually agreed to this. Aren't you afraid that someone will impeach you and depose you from your position as Crown Prince?"
"I'm afraid. Your father is very fierce. He even impeached my father and uncle for two days. Even my father is afraid of him."
"Ah, my dad, which dad?"
"Sorry, sorry, it's Ah Xu's father." Murong Yan suddenly became serious and lowered his voice, "Your father has been arrested by Liu Zhang and is currently being tried in the Dali Temple for plotting to murder me and kidnapping you."
Ye Wanqing's expression changed slightly. She grabbed his hand and said, "Your Highness, my father...has tried to harm you more than once, right?"
