Chapter 136

Jiashan felt a burning sensation on his face. Qi and Hong were still there. They were hugging each other in front of everyone. Who knows how it would turn out if it got out! While thinking this, he felt an incomparable warmth in his heart. He was reluctant to part with Zhan Yue.

Seeing this, Qi lowered her head quickly, and walked away holding Hong'er without looking away.

Xuan Ge'er took the opportunity to get in between the two of them, hugged Zhan Yue's thighs, and shouted: "Daddy, daddy! Why don't you hug me! I miss you too!"

"I was sick a few days ago." As he said this, Xuan Ge'er sniffed pitifully, as if he was trying to squeeze out a few tears.

After hearing this, Zhan Yue finally let Jia Shan go. He squatted down and held Xuan Ge'er in his arms again.

Zhan Yue gently touched his face, lowered his head and asked, "Let Dad take a look. Are you better now?"

"Yes!" Xuan Ge'er nodded heavily. He lay on Zhan Yue's shoulder and said softly, "Mother was also very hard-working. She held me in her arms and hurried along that night. I heard from Dan Cui that Mother vomited for a long time yesterday..."

Zhan Yue's eyes paused, and he looked at Jiashan's slightly bulging belly, with heartache and guilt revealed in his eyes.

Jiashan knew what he was thinking after taking one look at him. He hurried forward to hold his hand and said with a smile, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He is not sick, he just had a runny nose a few times. I also just had a normal reaction of morning sickness. It's really not worth mentioning."

When she smiled, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white. Zhan Yue's throat moved, so he hugged Xuan'er with one hand and took Jiashan into his arms again with the other hand.

His eyes and eyebrows were filled with endless tenderness. He stared at her and said, "We will never be separated again."

Jiashan smiled slightly, took the initiative to hug him, and touched Xuan'er's hairy head. She said, "Okay."

At this moment, it seemed as if the wind had stopped, the clouds had stopped, and all things in the world were reluctant to disturb them.

Zhan Yue lowered his head and gently kissed the tip of Jiashan's nose.

How can you be so embarrassed in broad daylight! Jiashan blushed and pushed him away. Zhan Yue sighed, looked at her lips intently, and said softly, "Let's go inside and talk."

After a day and night of traveling, Zhan Yue was inevitably dusty. Jiashan called someone to bathe him and put clean clothes on him.

While helping him straighten his clothes, Jiashan said, "I'll take Xuan Ge'er out to play. You stay here and sleep for a while. We'll go back to the capital after you've rested well."

Zhan Yue said, "Just go ahead, I'm not tired."

He waved his hand, and Jianlan came over quickly. Zhan Yue ordered, "Let Chen Chu and Zhu Zheng come to see me."

When Jiashan heard that he was going to summon Chen Chu and Zhu Zheng, he quickly guessed what he was going to do.

Jiashan's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he already knew what happened at Changchun Temple, so he warned him worriedly: "Although I hate him very much, please don't kill Zhan Shaoying and don't dirty your hands for him."

"Humph." Zhan Yue didn't know the reckless words Zhan Shaoying had said at this time, otherwise he would have chopped him off immediately. But Zhan Shaoying dared to come here privately, which still made Zhan Yue furious.

Zhan Yue snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, killing him is too easy. I have thought of other ways to deal with him."

Jiashan nodded. She didn't care about Zhan Shaoying's life or death, but she didn't want Zhan Yue to be known for abusing lynching and harming his fellow tribesmen.

Jiashan said: "I promised to help the Qi family to divorce, but Hong Ge'er is Zhan Shaoying's son after all. If Zhan Shaoying is convicted of treason, even if others are not implicated, Hong Ge'er's life will definitely be ruined."

Zhan Yue pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "I have my own way of doing this. I will make sure that it will not involve Hong Ge'er, and will also allow him to securely take the position of Duke Anguo in the future."

"Really?" Jiashan was delighted and glanced at him and said, "What method is so powerful? Tell me about it, so I can tell Qi Shi about it."

"That depends on how much sincerity the princess is willing to show." Zhan Yue stared at her pink lips meaningfully.

Jiashan's breathing stagnated, and he glared at him with an attitude of wanting to say something, then walked up to him and kissed the corner of his lips gently, and then, before Zhan Yue could react, he bit him hard again.

"It's fine if you don't say anything, but you're bullying me and telling me the conditions!" Jiashan said fiercely.

Zhan Yue hurriedly held her back and begged for mercy: "It's just a joke, how could I bear to do that..."

Zhan Yue pestered Jia Shan for another incense stick of time before Jia Shan left the inner room. When she came out, her lips were slightly swollen, and she had straightened her clothes, even her hair bun seemed to have been retied.

Chen Chu and Zhu Zheng had arrived long ago, but because the princess was inside, they did not dare to go in. Now seeing Jiashan finally come out, the two of them greeted him without even looking at him, and hurried to meet Zhan Yue.

When Zhan Yue heard Zhan Shaoying's outrageous words from Zhu Zheng, his face immediately turned pale. He did not get angry, but just stared at the brick floor in front of the house with a cold face.

Deathly silence spread in an instant.

Chen Chu had followed Zhan Yue for many years and knew his temper very well. He knew that this was a prelude to his coming rage, so he just lowered his head and dared not say a word. He wished he could dig out the words "I want you" that Zhu Zheng had just relayed to him from his ears.

"Chen Chu." Zhan Yue finally spoke, his tone was cold, and he had nowhere to put the violent anger he brought from the battlefield.

Chen Chu hurriedly said, "I'm here."

Zhan Yue's eyes were as sharp as knives and swords. He pursed his lips and uttered a few words from his throat: "Go and destroy him."

Feeling the raging aura from Zhan Yue, Chen Chu hurriedly shouted, "Yes!"

He walked quickly and went to Zhan Shaoying's yard without delay.

Zhan Yue took a deep breath, and after a moment, he slapped down with his palm, and a table next to him collapsed with a loud bang.

Zhu Zheng knelt down in fear, but Zhan Yue stepped forward to help him up: "You have done a good job, you are loyal to your master, and your courage is commendable. When we return home, the princess and I will give you another reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I do not dare to take credit for it." Zhu Zheng said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He had never seen the prince consort like this before... Of course, he would guess that the prince consort would be furious after hearing what Zhan Shaoying said. However, such hostility and ferocity far exceeded his imagination.

After all, the prince consort would never act like this in front of the princess.

Yes, maybe the prince consort has always been like this, and only in front of the princess will he be so gentle? Zhu Zheng stopped his wild thoughts and whispered: "As long as the princess is fine, I will be lucky enough to have fulfilled my mission."

Zhan Yue said "hmm", patted his shoulder encouragingly, and Zhu Zheng withdrew.

Capital city.

A new incident happened in the Anguogong Mansion these days, and people on the streets were talking about it. The eldest son of the Anguogong's son was thrown off a carriage.

When he was thrown down, the eldest son's clothes were disheveled, his face was pale, there was blood between his legs, and his underwear was stained as red as maple leaves. The eldest son himself was covering a secret place and moaning.

The people all speculated that the eldest son might have met some bad guy and was... was... physically raped?

Who is so bold under the emperor's feet?

Thanks to Zhao Youze, the palace coup that night was resolved quietly. The lives of the people were not disturbed in any way. They just slept through the night and felt that the soldiers in the capital seemed to be changing guards frequently. But it didn't matter. They only cared about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and whether the eldest son of the Prince of Anguo had become a eunuch.

Anguogong Mansion.

Ever since Zhan Shaoying was sent back, doctors from the Anguo Mansion have been coming all the time. Every time they come in, they shake their heads and say "peace be upon you".

Zhang's eyes had become as red as walnut kernels from crying. She had been absent-minded for the past few days and looked much older.

"How could this happen? How could this happen... Is there still any law?" Zhang grabbed Zhan Shaoying's hand and cried non-stop, "I'm going to the palace to file a complaint! Ying'er, don't be afraid, I'll help you get justice!"

Zhan Shaoying's face was pale, and he kept moaning, "It hurts... It hurts so much..."

"Brother Ying," Zhang threw herself on Zhan Shaoying, crying bitterly, "My brother Ying!"

Zhan Shaoying's breathing was weak, and the waves of pain coming from his lower body told him clearly what kind of person he had become.

It would be better to kill him than to suffer such a great humiliation!

As soon as Zhan Shaoying closed his eyes, the scene of Chen Chuyang picking up a knife and cutting off the roots of his descendants would appear in his mind.

Zhan Yue did it on purpose, deliberately not wanting him to die! After Chen Chu did all this, he even took out the best golden abscess medicine to apply on him.

They wanted him to live, they wanted him to be in pain, they wanted him to be ruined, but they didn't want him to die. Zhan Shaoying gritted his teeth in hatred.

Zhan Tai also learned the news at this time and was invited back from Guanglu Temple. He walked over, took a look at Zhan Shaoying's injuries, sighed and asked, "How could this happen?"

"It was Zhan Yanqing!" Zhang's eyes were red, and she said in a hateful tone, "Zhan Yanqing sent someone to do it! He harmed Ying'er like this, we can't let him go."

"Prince, go find His Majesty and report him! No matter what, Ying'er is still his nephew. He is cruel and merciless, and has harmed his nephew. Let him pay with his life!" Zhang roared like a madman.

Zhan Tai shouted, “Shut up!”

"He is the consort of the emperor. Do you expect His Majesty to stand up for Ying Ge'er and let the princess live a life of widowhood?" Zhan Tai's eyes were cold. "At the morning court today, His Majesty has issued an order to appoint the Fourth Prince as the Crown Prince. You should treat the princess with respect in the future and don't be disrespectful and inappropriate."

Upon hearing that Zhao Youze was appointed as the crown prince, Zhang and Zhan Shaoying looked at each other and both of their eyebrows jumped.

Although Zhan Tai is not as talented as Zhan Yue, he has been an official for many years and is the eldest son of Duke Anguo, so he still has basic political qualities.

He looked at Zhan Shaoying with sharp eyes and asked seriously, "Although your fourth uncle is not on good terms with us, he is definitely not someone who would hurt others maliciously. Where have you been these days? Why did you run into him? Tell me the whole story."

"Prince, the child is like this..." Zhang whispered.

Zhan Tai said coldly, "Get out! You are not allowed to come in without my order."

Zhang looked at Zhan Shaoying hesitantly, and Zhan Taifu shouted again: "Get out!"

Zhang had no choice but to go out reluctantly.

Seeing that Zhang had finally left, Zhan Tai's eyes turned to Zhan Shaoying. He said bluntly: "Brother Ying, tell the truth now. While your fourth uncle has not yet seen the emperor, you can still be saved."

Zhan Shaoying's expression changed slightly.

Zhan Tai's voice echoed above his head again: "Tell the truth."

Tears welled up in Zhan Shaoying's eyes, and he whispered, "Yes."

After a cup of tea, Zhan Tai came out of Zhan Shaoying's room. His face was livid. He ignored Zhang who was waiting in the courtyard and went straight to the courtyard of Duke Anguo.

At night, Zhan Yue and Jia Shan had just arrived at the princess's residence when the waiter from the Duke of An's residence came up to them with a smile, "Hello, Fourth Master. The Duke of An's residence invites you to come over for a talk."

Zhan Yue glanced at Jia Shan, who gently straightened his collar and said with a smile, "Go ahead. I'll be waiting for you at home with a hot meal."

Go, Yanqing, take back the honor and disgrace that belong to you, and redeem the grievances that your mother has suffered.
