Chapter 153 Posthumous child
What he saw was the prince lying quietly on the bed with a shocking wound on his neck. He had no vital signs and the bed was covered in blood.
Lord Chen's face turned pale in an instant, his legs went limp, and he knelt in front of the bed, crying out in grief and anger.
"Your Highness! My Highness!"
There was an uncontrollable tremor in the crying voice.
Xiao Fuguang and Xuanyuan Jing followed closely behind. Seeing this scene, they both felt extremely heavy in their hearts.
Xiao Fuguang held Chen Pan'er, who was lying on the ground, in his arms, took out a pill and fed it to her. He then raised his hand, lit a piece of talisman paper, and circled it around her head three times.
Chen Pan'er woke up slowly, was stunned for a moment, then pushed Xiao Fuguang away and rushed to the bed.
"cousin…………"
When she saw the prince's appearance, Chen Pan'er knelt beside the bed and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Xiao Fuguang walked out of the yard.
Looking at the guards who had fainted on the ground, Xiao Fuguang raised his hand and lit a piece of talisman paper.
Close your eyes and feel everything happening in the yard.
When I saw the yard full of butterflies and fireflies, I suddenly opened my eyes.
"Your Highness, it's a wizard from Southern Xinjiang."
Xuanyuan Jing frowned.
"It's Southern Xinjiang again."
Xiao Fuguang felt like something suddenly exploded in his brain.
"I see, Your Majesty, hurry to the city gate."
The two men rode their horses and galloped towards the city gate.
At the city gate.
Amiruo and Amiya had already reached the city gate under the cover of night.
The city gate was closed and the two hid aside.
Amiruo spoke worriedly.
"Sister, what should we do? Didn't Lord Su say it was arranged?"
Amiya's face darkened when she heard this.
"I hope he didn't lie to us."
"I always feel that Su Yan is too deep-minded."
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Su Yan and his men came on horseback.
Amiruo spoke in surprise.
"Sister, it's Lord Su."
Su Yan took out the token and said something to the guard at the city gate. Soon the guard left respectfully.
The gatekeeper turned out to be the person Su Yan brought with him.
Amiruo grabbed Amiya's hand in surprise.
"Sister, let's go. We can leave now."
The two of them hurried towards the city gate.
When Su Yan saw the two men coming, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Open the city gates."
The city gates were wide open.
Amiya whispered.
"Thank you, Lord Su. We will meet again in the future."
Then he took Amiru and walked out of the city.
Su Yan's lips curled up in a calculating manner.
"Let's get going, both of you!"
The sharp sword in his hand was unsheathed and quickly stabbed into Amiya's neck.
The sword in the hand of his guard Feng Dao also cut Amiru's throat.
Xiao Fuguang and Xuanyuan Jing, who were chasing after them, happened to see this scene.
Su Yan drew out his sharp sword, which was covered in blood.
"The Southern Border wizards murdered the people of Xuanyuan. I have personally executed them on the spot."
Then he walked towards Xuanyuan Jing and bowed.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
"I heard that the guest who died at Yunke Ferry was killed by a witchcraft from Southern Xinjiang. I immediately arranged for someone to hunt him down. My efforts were well worth it. The witch from Southern Xinjiang has been killed."
What a coincidence.
Xuanyuan Jing looked at Su Yan with fierce eyes.
"Lord Su is really good at handling cases. Does Lord Su know that the Crown Prince has been murdered?"
"The guards and imperial guards in the Crown Prince's palace were all bewitched by Southern Border witchcraft, and the Crown Prince met with a tragic end."
Su Yan was shocked when he heard this.
"What?"
"They also harmed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"These Southern Border wizards truly deserve to be hacked into pieces. I just ended their lives with a single blow. It was too easy for them."
"Come, take the bodies of these two men to the Dali Temple. I will go to the palace to report to the emperor early in the morning."
Xiao Fuguang looked at Su Yan's reaction immediately, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. So that's it.
"Master Su has a very big chess game."
Su Yan spoke with a confused look on his face.
"I don't understand what the princess is saying. I still have to deal with the wizards in Southern Xinjiang, so I'll take my leave now."
Then he ordered someone to take away the bodies of Amiya and Amiro.
When passing by Xiao Fuguang, he looked up at Xiao Fuguang, his eyes full of pride and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Fuguang, I won this round after all. Wait until I push Prince Rong to the position of crown prince, and then we’ll see how you can fight me.
Xuanyuan Jing rode his horse side by side with Xiao Fuguang.
"Fuguang, what did you see?"
Xiao Fuguang looked unhappy.
"Su Yan's target from the beginning wasn't Yunke Ferry, nor was it me, but the Crown Prince. He first caused trouble for Yunke Ferry, so we would be careless in order to save Liu Yue. Furthermore, you and the Chen family would be hunting down the Southern Frontier Wizard, and the Southern Frontier Wizard would panic and listen to him. He took advantage of the opportunity to kill the Crown Prince and then the Southern Frontier Wizard. I'm afraid this incident will only lead to his promotion to a higher position."
Xuanyuan Jing's eyes flashed with regret when he heard this.
"What a great Su Yan."
In the palace.
The imperial physician took the queen's pulse.
"There's nothing wrong with your majesty's health. She might just be too tired lately."
The Queen frowned as she still remembered the pain in her heart.
"No, if I was just too tired, it wouldn't hurt this much."
The imperial physician took the patient's pulse again.
"There is indeed nothing wrong with your Majesty's body."
The queen suddenly stood up, feeling very nervous.
"Madam Fang, what time is it now?"
Nanny Fang responded quickly.
"My Lady, it's Yin time."
The queen listened and spoke slowly.
"Have someone prepare a carriage. I want to go out of the palace to see the prince."
Imperial study.
Emperor Xuanyuan was washing up and getting ready to go to court.
The eunuch hurried in and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed away."
There was shock in Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes.
"What?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The eunuch was trembling with fear.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It was someone close to Master Chen who reported this with Master Chen's badge. Master Chen is still in the Crown Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanyuan took a step back and was supported by Su Ping.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body."
Prince's Mansion.
Chen Pan'er cried out of breath.
"Cousin, cousin, how could you abandon Pan'er?"
Lord Chen was also crying beside him. This was the grandson he had high hopes for.
Chen Pan'er helplessly held Master Chen's hand.
"Grandfather, Grandfather, please save my cousin, please save my cousin."
How can we save them if they are already dead? Master Chen shook his head helplessly.
"Pan'er, there is no hope..."
Chen Pan'er held the edge of the bed and stood up tremblingly.
"I don't believe it. I don't believe my cousin just left me like this. I'm going to find the imperial physician. He will definitely be able to save my cousin."
But she felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Xiao Fuguang, who had walked to the door, quickly moved over and supported her.
"careful."
"Ms. Chen, I know you are grieving, but you must calm down now. You just got pregnant. If you are too happy or too sad, the child in your belly might..."
Chen Pan'er was shocked.
"What did you say?"
"I have a child?"
Xiao Fuguang helped her sit down on a chair beside her, poured her a glass of water, and took out a pill and dissolved it in the water.
"Yes, I discovered you were pregnant when I just woke you up, but the prince and I were in a hurry to catch up with the wizard from Southern Xinjiang, so we didn't have time to tell you. This is a pregnancy-preserving medicine, so drink it first."
After hearing this, Chen Pan'er hurriedly drank the medicine in the cup.
She reached out and touched her belly, tears couldn't help falling again, and she spoke with a look of despair.
"But my child was born without a father."
Xiao Fuguang spoke from the side.
"Think about it from another perspective. You are pregnant with the prince's child. He is your eldest son, and you have left him with an heir."
Lord Chen, who was kneeling beside the bed, looked much older overnight.
He walked over tremblingly and knelt down in front of Xiao Fuguang.
"Princess, I would like to ask you and the prince for a favor."
