"Chen Yunniang is pregnant with his child. She asked me to go and help Chen Yunniang with the pregnancy, but I refused..."
She deliberately spoke ambiguously, and the Crown Prince's eyes widened suddenly: "Chen Yunniang is pregnant with my cousin's child?"
"He also asked you to help Chen Yunniang with her pregnancy?"
"Is that why he hit you?"
"That's outrageous, absolutely unreasonable."
Why does my cousin seem like a completely different person whenever he's around Chen Yunniang?
Su Yujiao knelt down again: "I beg the Crown Prince to send someone to escort me away. I don't want to stay and continue to be humiliated by Chen Yunniang, nor do I want to endure his ruthlessness."
“If the Crown Prince does not agree to my request, I will die here today.”
She pulled out her hairpin and threatened to kill herself.
The Crown Prince hurriedly stopped her: "Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive. I agree to your request."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
As Su Yujiao stood up, the Crown Prince tentatively asked, "Is my cousin-in-law going back this time to use her merits to request an imperial decree for a divorce?"
Su Yujiao looked at the Crown Prince and asked in return, "Can I tell the Crown Prince the truth?"
The crown prince awkwardly touched his nose, knowing he had acted improperly last time and was in the wrong.
"Whatever decision my cousin-in-law makes, I will not stop her."
"I didn't tell my cousin that you were the one who developed the gunpowder because I felt guilty towards you."
"All he knows now is that you used your merit in treating malaria to buy Brother Su's freedom."
"Therefore, if your cousin-in-law really wants a divorce, she should try to get an imperial decree before he returns to the capital, otherwise there will be unforeseen complications."
Su Yujiao kowtowed solemnly in gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"No need for thanks, sister-in-law. This is something I owe you."
"Someone, send a team to escort Madam Lu back to the capital."
"yes."
Su Yujiao left the military camp overnight and rode at full speed to the capital.
Lu Ziqian hadn't yet gotten any information from Chen Yunniang about what she had done, and he didn't believe a single word she said.
If it were really as casual as she said, just a bug bite, why would she be so scared?
Lu Ziqian abducted Xiao He and Yun Lan, and after a period of severe torture, he finally learned the whole story.
He even stung their fingers with poisonous bees, watching them writhe in agony, their faces contorted, and finally bite their tongues to commit suicide. Only then did he realize what Su Yujiao had just gone through!
Lu Ziqian's mind went blank, and he could barely stand. He never imagined that she had endured such inhuman torture during the two hours he was gone.
Bang!
Enraged, the man smashed Chen Yunniang's tent to pieces, viciously grabbed her neck, his bloodthirsty face dark and terrifying, his eyes bloodshot.
Chen Yunniang's eyes bulged out from being pinched, and she struggled and thrashed about incessantly.
"If I die... she won't live either!"
These words seemed to pull him back from his loss of control, and the man abruptly let go.
On Chen Yunniang's neck, there was a bluish-purple bruise.
She gasped for breath, her tone mocking and manic: "What are you pretending to be so affectionate for? Didn't you personally leave her here with me?"
"Don't you know that I won't let her have an easy time if she stays here?"
"You deliberately left her behind for me to torment, and now you're calling me vicious?"
"You are the most vicious person, selfish, ruthless, and violent..."
"Hahaha... She will never forgive you. From the moment you left her behind, there was no possibility between you two."
"Hahaha……"
Lu Ziqian stumbled back to his room only to find that Su Yujiao was gone.
Where are they?
"The young mistress went to the Crown Prince's tent and hasn't come out yet."
"The Crown Prince?"
Lu Ziqian suddenly had a bad feeling. What was she doing going to see the Crown Prince in the middle of the night?
The Crown Prince had just fallen asleep when Lu Ziqian burst in: "Where is she?"
Seeing his anxious expression, the crown prince gave him a cold look.
"I sent someone to escort my cousin-in-law back. She said she didn't want to stay and continue to be tormented by Chen Yunniang."
How could you let her leave?
The Crown Prince said sarcastically, "If we don't let her leave, are we going to keep her here to continue protecting Chen Yunniang's pregnancy?"
"To continue being tormented by that slut and beaten by my husband?"
"Cousin, you're a man of flesh and blood. You've really gone too far this time."
"I didn't hit her, how could I bear to hit her?"
“But you’re forcing her to protect Chen Yunniang’s pregnancy; you’re attacking her heart.”
"You always think you can protect your cousin's wife, but where were you when she was being tortured?"
"Cousin, just let go. Do you really want to wait until you've tortured someone to death before you regret it?"
Lu Ziqian suddenly looked up: "Let go?"
"What do you mean by that? Did she say something to you?"
"Is she going to divorce me?"
“How could she just leave like that? I haven’t even explained to her that things aren’t what she thinks…”
“I didn’t want to leave her there to be humiliated. I wanted to stay and keep her company, but you called me away…”
The Crown Prince's face darkened: "So, cousin, you mean it's my fault?"
Lu Ziqian scratched his head in frustration: "Which route did they take?"
How many people did you send?
The Crown Prince shook his head: "I don't know. I only sent people to escort my cousin-in-law back. I didn't specify a route for them. They may take the main road or a side road."
Lu Ziqian turned to leave, but was grabbed by the Crown Prince.
"Cousin, you can't leave! Are you just going to abandon these hundreds of thousands of troops?"
"Dereliction of duty is a capital offense."
"Guards, stop him!"
The Crown Prince's guards surrounded the group, and Mo Shu and Mo Hua, seeing that something was wrong, immediately rushed over.
Knowing he couldn't escape, Lu Ziqian instructed Mo Shu and Mo Hua to split into several groups to pursue them.
After catching up with her, escort her safely back to the capital, but have someone keep an eye on her to prevent her from doing anything foolish, and even more so to prevent her from encouraging her mother to go to the government office to get a divorce.
"yes."
The crown prince breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had sent people to chase after him.
I hope my cousin-in-law will succeed this time!
My cousin's wife has really had a tough time getting here.
After Su Yujiao left, Chen Yunniang stopped causing trouble and had nothing left to cause trouble, so she stayed in bed every day to rest and prepare for her pregnancy.
Lu Ziqian went to meet up with the City King to personally handle the aftermath and handover work.
The sooner I finish this work, the sooner I can go back to Beijing and explain to her.
He also realized the seriousness of the matter, fearing that if he didn't explain things clearly, things wouldn't end well.
As for his reputation and dignity, those are all bullshit, as long as she can forgive him.
"Nephew, what brings you here? Why aren't you at the military camp with your wife?"
Lu Ziqian gave a bitter smile: "She's gone back to Beijing."
The city king nodded: "It's good that you're going back. The military camp is bitterly cold and not a place for women to stay."
"It's too much suffering."
"However, your young lady is no ordinary woman. She is the second woman I admire, after Doctor Mo."
"Not only are his medical skills superb, but the weapons he has developed are also incredibly advanced."
Lu Ziqian frowned: "She's developing weapons?"
Looking at Lu Ziqian's bewildered expression, the city king asked in confusion, "Gunpowder? Didn't she tell you?"
Lu Ziqian's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face instantly turned ashen.
Did she develop gunpowder?
Why did she deliberately not say?
