Chapter 237 Night Break
In the dungeon.
After learning the news that Qi Junqi was dead, Queen Wang knelt against the wall in a daze, with deathly silence in her eyes.
After the sound of metal chains, the cell door was opened.
Queen Wang remained motionless until Murong Heli walked in.
"Wang Wan'er, tell me the whereabouts of the little prince, and I can spare your life."
Upon hearing this, Queen Wang just fluttered her eyelashes.
He walked up to her and half-knelt down. "I promise that I will never harm you or the little prince. Bring the little prince back. You and the little prince will go to Li Kingdom with Qi Yue. As long as you behave yourself, I can ensure that you will live a happy and worry-free life."
After hearing these words, the woman who had been keeping her head down and motionless suddenly laughed.
Without waiting for anyone to react, a pair of hateful hands suddenly grabbed Murong Heli's neck.
An Ze, who was originally lazily waiting outside the cell, suddenly became serious. He quickly entered the cell and knocked the man to the ground with one palm.
Queen Wang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then staggered to her feet with a miserable smile.
"Li Gou! Even if I die, I will never tell you Lin'er's whereabouts! We, the Dayi royal family, would rather die than be captured by the Li Kingdom!"
When her neck was strangled, Murong Heli was not unable to break free, he just didn't want to hit her.
This is one of Qi Yue's few relatives. If she saves him, maybe she won't hate him so much.
After all, Murong Heli still hoped in his heart that she could love him instead of hate him.
"Quick...quickly stop the person..."
As soon as she finished speaking, with a "bang", Queen Wang resolutely slammed into the cold, gray-black wall of the dungeon.
An Ze said indifferently, "Your Highness, keeping this woman would be a nuisance, now that she has killed herself, it's a relief."
"If you leave her with Princess Yi Yang, she might instigate the princess to kill you all day long."
How could Murong Heli not understand this principle?
"Have the body collected and buried in the imperial mausoleum of the Dayi family."
An Ze lowered his head and rolled his eyes silently, then saluted and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
He was really convinced that His Highness became so soft-hearted when he met Princess Yi Yang.
Before attacking Dayi, he vowed to take revenge and kill all the royal family members of Dayi with his own hands.
What's the result?
As soon as he entered the Dayi Palace, he killed several insignificant palace maids and eunuchs, as well as several children of royal relatives and nobles who had bullied him.
Emperor Xuanzhi committed suicide, and several loyal ministers of Dayi also followed Emperor Xuanzhi and committed suicide.
It actually doesn't make any difference whether you kill me or not. Dayi's country has been destroyed and his family has been ruined. Princess Yi Yang will only blame you for all the mistakes!
Once you have power, what woman can't you get?
Alas, your highness is foolish.
After complaining in his heart, An Ze still went to do his work honestly with a lazy and uninhibited pace.
As soon as I got out of the dungeon, the secret guard came to report urgently.
"Your Highness, Gu Qingyu has kidnapped Princess Yi Yang!"
Murong Heli gave an expected smile, "Seal off all exits in the palace."
The palace maid who had just left the Moon Palace hurried into the Lianyue Palace.
Murong Qian sat on the chaise longue with a look of hatred on her face, while Jiang Sheng was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back right in front of her.
"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left the Moon Palace."
Hearing this, Jiang Sheng turned around and met Murong Qian's gaze, and both of them smiled with a determination to win.
After a while, the two of them brought their people and palace maids to the gate of the Moon Palace.
The soldiers at the gate stopped the two with weapons in hand and said, "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess and General Jiang. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter and disturb Princess Yi Yang."
Murong Qian's eyes rolled, and she spoke calmly while touching the jade hairpin in her hair.
"Of course, I followed my brother's orders and took Princess Yi Yang to see Queen Wang."
"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask, but if you waste time, I will have to question you about the matter."
The soldiers guarding the gate looked at each other and began to hesitate.
Just at this moment, a shout was heard from the hall.
"Someone, there's an assassin..."
Jiang Sheng immediately led his men and rushed in following the sound.
The gatekeeper didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ran in.
If the assassin really hurt Princess Yi Yang, their lives would surely be over.
Gu Qingyu didn't expect that the palace maid guarding Qi Yue actually knew martial arts, which led to him not knocking her out in time.
He Xiang rushed over and hugged the maid with all her might, "My Lord, take the princess and run!"
Seeing the hurried footsteps outside the bedroom getting closer and closer, Gu Qingyu looked at He Xiang and the palace maid, gritted his teeth, picked up Qi Yue and ran out of the window.
The palace maid became extremely anxious upon seeing this, and slapped He Xiang on the head again and again.
He Xiang spit out blood and bit her lips tightly, refusing to let go.
Jiang Sheng rushed in and saw this, his sharp eyes fell on the wide open window.
"Chase her, General! We must not let Princess Yi Yang get away!"
The soldiers filed out again, and the gatekeepers became very panicked when they saw this.
"Hurry and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Lin!"
After everyone left, Murong Qian stared at the half-dead He Xiang with vicious eyes.
The order was: "Punish this slave girl to death. Skin her and dig out her bones!"
"Yes, Princess."
Qi Yue woke up in the bumpy ride. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Qingyu with a pale face, holding her and running.
Behind him were the shouts of pursuers and the lights of fire.
"Gu Qingyu, put me down now and run away. Murong Heli won't hurt me!"
Gu Qingyu's face was furious, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Yue, you are my wife. I can't be a coward and give you to someone else just to save my life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow pierced his back.
Qi Yue clearly felt his body shake heavily and saw the pursuers behind him getting closer and closer.
In the crowd, Jiang Sheng raised his bow and arrow again and aimed at Gu Qingyu.
Qi Yue caught a glimpse of this scene and said sternly, "Gu Qingyu, I order you to let me down immediately!"
When Lin Xu arrived, the second arrow had already been shot at the two of them. He flew over and deflected the arrow.
The arrow just pierced Gu Qingyu's headband. If Lin Xu hadn't intervened, it would have shot straight through his head.
Seeing that he failed to shoot Gu Qingyu to death, Jiang Sheng's face darkened, but he didn't dare to take any more action.
Although Lin Xu is highly skilled in martial arts, he only obeys Murong Heli.
Murong Heli did not order the killing of Gu Qingyu, and he protected Qi Yue like his own heart.
If they knew that he had killed the two of them, he would probably die too.
Jiang Sheng was very annoyed at the moment. If he had known that he should not have had the intention of teasing when he shot the first arrow, he should have directly killed Gu Qingyu with one arrow.
Lin Xu glanced at Jiang Sheng coldly. He could see through the man's little thoughts, but he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, so he didn't say much.
