His voice was filled with anger, resentment, and self-blame.
Just as he was about to take Yiming away, Rouge suddenly shouted,
"He's not dead..."
These words left everyone present stunned.
Empress Qi turned to look at her.
You're saying he's not dead?
Rouge nodded.
"He's not dead, he can still be saved."
It turned out that she couldn't bring herself to kill Yiming in the end, so she came up with the idea of faking his death and prayed in her heart that this would save his life.
Under everyone's gaze, she flicked her sleeve, came to Leng Chuchen, pried open Yiming's mouth, and stuffed a pill into it. After a while, he coughed a few times and then opened his eyes.
Seeing that Yiming had truly come back to life, Leng Chuchen hugged him, knelt down, and wept with joy.
Yiming blinked his big eyes and asked curiously:
"Uncle Chen, is that you?"
"It's me, it's me."
He nodded eagerly, "Yiming, it's Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen has come to save you."
Yiming turned his head away, and when he saw the wounds on Yanzhi's face and the blood around her mouth and nose, tears welled up in his eyes, and he whispered something to her.
"Uncle Chen, the pretty lady is very kind to Yiming, won't you punish her for her crimes?"
Upon hearing this, Rouge's tears flowed uncontrollably.
Yiming understands everything; he knows everything.
But even though he knew she wanted to hurt him, he still pleaded for her.
She bit her lip hard, her fingers digging into her flesh.
Leng Chuchen glanced at Yan Zhi and nodded.
"Okay, Uncle Chen, I'll listen to you. Let's go home now."
I miss my mother.
"Okay, go find your mother. She's at Uncle Chen's house."
As he spoke, he picked him up, and at that moment the Empress Dowager walked over with trembling hands.
"Chen'er, let Grandma take a look at this child."
Leng Chuchen hurriedly said to Yiming:
"Yiming, quickly greet your great-grandmother."
When Yiming saw the Empress Dowager, he remembered that his whole family had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison because of her. He immediately pouted and refused to make a sound.
Leng Chuchen reminded him again,
"Was Yiming frightened? Why didn't he call for help?"
Yiming didn't want to speak, but then he remembered that the old woman in front of him was the Empress Dowager, and they couldn't afford to offend her.
She could only timidly call out,
Hello, great-grandmother.
Upon hearing this address, the Empress Dowager's mouth immediately stretched into a wide grin.
"Good, that's wonderful! I never dreamed that I would see my great-grandson in my lifetime. Chen'er, I will definitely bring him to the palace later so that I can dote on this child."
Leng Chuchen nodded hurriedly in agreement.
"Grandmother, please rest assured. You should return to the palace first. The child was frightened, so I took him back to the Crown Prince's residence."
After leaving those words, he picked up Yiming and walked towards the door. As he passed Empress Qi, he gave her a cold look and strode away.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager let out a long sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, you almost made a terrible mistake!"
Empress Qi hurriedly curtsied.
"Your Majesty is right to teach me a lesson. I will never do such a foolish thing again."
“You’ve been competitive all your life, aren’t you tired? Don’t let your two nieces follow in your footsteps.”
After leaving these words, the Empress Dowager, supported by Granny Zhen, slowly walked towards the door.
Empress Qi glanced coldly at Rouge.
"You've always been decisive and efficient; this is the first time you've been so indecisive."
"This servant knows she was wrong."
Empress Qi took a deep breath.
"It's alright, otherwise, Chen'er would hate me for the rest of her life. Go wash your face, rest for a day, and come to the palace again tomorrow."
After saying that, she turned around and left with her servants.
Rouge stood in the courtyard, silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled.
Yiming's life was saved. He was the Crown Prince's child, so she no longer needed to kill him.
She suddenly felt that her heart had become much lighter in that instant.
...
Crown Prince's Palace
Luo Zhiwan was anxiously waiting, but Yue Xiaomin and Yue Xiaoyue were very displeased with her arrival.
Yue Xiaoyue stormed into the main hall of the Crown Prince's residence, ignoring Li Ping's objections, and barged straight in.
"Luo Zhiwan, what did you say when I left Yong'an City? You said you wouldn't come looking for Brother Chen, so why did you come here on your own initiative?"
Luo Zhiwan was preoccupied with Yiming's matter and had no interest in talking to her, so she naturally didn't want to say anything more to her.
Seeing that she remained silent, she became even more demanding.
"Are you deaf or mute? Answer me, what are you doing here? Get back to your Yong'an City right now, this is not a place for you."
She suddenly looked up, staring coldly at her, and reminded her, word by word.
"Yue Xiaoyue, don't try to provoke me. I have my reasons for being here, but I don't need to tell you why. Now, please disappear from my sight immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless towards you."
Yue Xiaoyue, who already disliked her, immediately put her hands on her hips and angrily rebuked her upon hearing this.
"You came to my house, but you want me to disappear? Have you no shame?"
Her home?
She looked at her coldly, while Yue Xiaoyue raised her chin and nodded smugly.
"Yes, this is my home. My brother Chen and I are getting married soon. The Emperor's decree for our marriage has been issued, and I have already moved in openly and legitimately."
I see.
The Emperor's decree of marriage had been issued, and Yue Xiaoyue had already moved in. She suddenly smiled sarcastically to herself.
"Xiaoyue, we have guests at home, how can you be so rude?"
