Ouyang Zhen knew that Han Luoxue had said those things on purpose to distract Ouyang Fu, but she still felt very upset when she heard them.
He held Han Luoxue tightly, looking at the red marks on her face, feeling extremely distressed.
"Does it hurt here?" He gently stroked Han Luoxue's face, and Han Luoxue smiled, "Brother Chen, it doesn't hurt."
"I told you, you must never say those words again. Do you understand? In my heart, there is only one woman, and I will never want any other woman, no matter what."
Hearing him confess his feelings so eagerly, Han Luoxue felt a warmth in her heart. Her previous anxieties seemed to vanish with the wind. Actually, it didn't matter what her Chen-gege's identity was. As long as he only had her in his heart, that was enough.
Han Luoxue wrapped her arms around his strong waist and asked softly, "Didn't you say you were preparing to ascend the throne? Why did you come here at this time?"
"What's more important than ascending the throne? How can I stay in the capital if I hear you're in danger here?"
Hearing the man's tone, which even carried a hint of coquetry, Han Luoxue smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, my husband!"
"Ouyang Zhen, release my Fu'er!"
When the Empress saw that her son was injured, she rushed forward anxiously, but she was held down by two people and could not get through.
"Let him go?"
Ouyang Zhen sneered and turned to look at the Empress: "Didn't he want to go to Xishu? I'll give him that chance!"
"Yang Feng!"
A man in black quickly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Ouyang Zhen.
"You personally escort him to Xishu on horseback. Oh, and take the Empress with you too. Run slowly on the way, so he doesn't get run to death!"
Yang Feng's eyes lit up with joy, and his dark face twitched almost imperceptibly at the corners of his mouth.
What do these soldiers hate most? Traitors. They risk their lives on the front lines, while the former crown prince enjoys a life of luxury in the palace—that's one thing, but to betray the country? If it weren't for the emperor constantly holding them back, they would have killed him long ago.
Now that His Highness has entrusted him with escorting, isn't this giving him a chance to get revenge?
Han Luoxue didn't understand at first, but after seeing Yang Feng's actions, she was completely shocked.
Yang Feng took a rope, tied one end to Ouyang Fu's hands, and the other end to the Empress's hands. He then folded the rope in half and hung it on the saddle.
"Ouch...it hurts, my arm..."
Ouyang Fu screamed in pain. That damned woman Han Luoxue had just dislocated one of his arms, and now this pulling was incredibly painful.
However, no one answered his calls.
He mounted his horse with a dashing air, not forgetting to turn to Ouyang Zhen and offer a gesture of respect: "Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely deliver them to Xishu alive during the summer vacation!"
With that, he gave a shout, pulled on the reins, and his horse galloped off. This was a real hardship for Ouyang Fu and the Empress; not wanting to be dragged along, they had no choice but to run as fast as they could. If they slowed down even slightly, the ropes binding their wrists would ache terribly.
Hearing the two of them shouting and cursing as they ran after her, Han Luoxue almost burst out laughing.
She felt that Brother Chen was really bad, but why did she like him so much?
As for the others Ouyang Fu brought, they were all executed.
Meng Qing had never seen such a bloody scene before. In addition, the Empress who had always protected her and the nominal father of the child in her womb were taken away, which frightened her so much that she sat down on the ground.
Unexpectedly, there was a sharp rock right under her buttocks, which made her cry out in pain.
Han Luoxue turned her head and saw that there was blood on the woman's skirt.
"This..." Han Luoxue was stunned. Could this woman have miscarried? But they hadn't done anything. This woman was too timid.
...
"Where did you put the children just now?" Returning to the familiar courtyard, Ouyang Zhen was overjoyed to see the two children.
Han Luoxue recounted what she had just mentioned, which only fueled Ouyang Zhen's curiosity. The two children were still fast asleep, and he hadn't imagined such a wondrous thing existed in the world. He was so grateful for that bag; otherwise, he didn't know what he would have done with his children.
"Brother Chen, you rushed here so urgently, what about the affairs in the capital? Didn't you say you were going to ascend the throne? You shouldn't have delayed such an important matter because of me!" Luo Xue felt extremely guilty, realizing that she hadn't been cautious enough.
"Cousin, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!"
Zhou Jie knew she had done wrong. She hadn't expected that Ouyang Fu would recognize her even though she was wearing a veil. If it weren't for her, Han Luoxue wouldn't have been exposed.
"You actually know you were wrong?" Ouyang Zhen glared at her, annoyed. "You know you were wrong now?"
He shouldn't have called Zhou Jie over in the first place; that girl is never one to stay idle.
Did she think that by wearing a headscarf, no one would recognize her? How naive of her.
Zhou Jie shrank back, feeling wronged. She hadn't done it on purpose!
"I, cousin, I really didn't mean to!"
Zhou Jie's eyes were red. If she had known that Ouyang Fu would come to Yancheng, she would have stayed at home and hidden herself away. She would never have gone out to wander around.
"Sister Xue, I'm so sorry, I really didn't know she would recognize me!"
"Alright, Brother Chen, stop talking about Sister Zhou!" Han Luoxue quickly advised. "Who would have thought Ouyang Fu would come here? But it's not all bad. You couldn't find any news about him before, right? Now it's good, you can get rid of him directly!"
"Your solution was amazing! I absolutely love it!"
As Han Luoxue spoke, she didn't forget to lift her leg and kiss Ouyang Zhen on the cheek. Ouyang Zhen's body stiffened, and his ears turned slightly red.
Seeing that he was actually shy, Han Luoxue was in a great mood. She ran to Zhou Jie's side and took her arm: "Sister Zhou, are you really okay? Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"
"Dr. Xu and the others should be back soon. How about we find a doctor from outside to come in and take a look at you?"
Seeing how worried Han Luoxue was about her, Zhou Jie was touched, and her nose tingled with emotion.
"Sister Xue, you don't need to be so good to me. This time it's all my fault that you've been dragged into this. I feel so bad!"
"Don't talk about implicating us. You should think of it this way: now that Ouyang Fu has come to Yancheng, even if you don't leave, he'll find out about us sooner or later!"
Yancheng isn't a very big place, and it's not particularly far from the county government office, so it was only a matter of time before it was discovered.
"Now that Ouyang Fu's matter is completely resolved, you've made a great contribution!"
Was she praising herself? But Zhou Jie couldn't manage a smile.
Fortunately, Han Luoxue and her two children were alright, otherwise she would have hated herself to death.
"I……"
Is there anywhere else that hurts?
