Chapter 144 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 58
Xiao Yan covered his stomach and bent over in pain. His keen intuition about danger allowed him to dodge an arrow. He staggered and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to grab someone to block the arrow, he found that the guards suddenly fled in all directions and disappeared in an instant.
"The eldest prince is here~" Xia Yang's voice was so urgent and sharp that it almost pierced people's eardrums.
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, only to then realize that his hands and feet were completely powerless. The fight just now had consumed all the strength of his body. He tried twice but failed to get up, so he had to give up.
Ji Yunhuan rushed over like a gust of wind and held Xiao Yan in his arms skillfully. He felt that this had become an instinctive movement of his body and it fit him very well.
"Are you okay? Why are you sweating so much? Someone, go get Doctor Ye!"
After the pain, Xiao Yan felt much better, but still had no strength. He whispered, "I'm fine, I can walk, put me down."
After Ji Yunhuan confirmed that Xiao Yan was not injured, he put him down and supported him carefully.
The two exchanged glances, both were worried about the baby in the belly, but it was not appropriate to discuss this matter in front of outsiders, so they could only wait until they returned to Xiaozhuyuan.
"Everyone, disperse now. I will investigate today's matter. Come, arrange a sedan chair to send Yun Fengyi back."
Sun Jiayi's forehead was scratched by a stone on the ground and she was bleeding a lot. There were purple marks on her neck, which looked quite scary.
She pulled Lin Wan'er together to block in front of the "Grand Prince", knelt down and shouted loudly: "Yun Fengyi can't leave!"
"At this point, Your Highness still wants to protect another criminal slave? In broad daylight, she almost strangled me to death. I am Your Highness's legal wife. In order to favor a criminal slave, Your Highness has even disregarded my life?"
"Your Highness, look at Lin Liangyuan. She has a broken arm, her face is disfigured, and she was almost drowned! This woman is vicious, seducing the master, and killing people. She must not be allowed to stay!"
Ji Yunhuan didn't believe a word of it. It was impossible for Xiao Yan to attack Lin Wan'er for no reason, and it was even more impossible for him to kill Sun Jiayi with her body. It was obvious that Sun Jiayi set up a trap to frame "Yun Fengyi". Xiao Yan naturally would not surrender, so a fight broke out.
When she rushed over, she heard the sound of archery. There were some broken arrows left at the scene. There was also a seriously injured eunuch lying by the lake with an arrow stuck in his abdomen.
"You are so brave, my princess! You dare to use weapons in the forbidden palace. Do you want to kill Yun Fengyi or me?"
Sun Jiayi had already thought of an excuse. She said with a sad face, "Your Highness favored a criminal slave and allowed her to bully me. The maid I brought into the palace was beaten half to death, but Your Highness did not care."
"If it weren't for my father's pity and giving me a few men, not only would Lin Liangyuan die here today, but I would also be strangled to death by her. Wouldn't two lives wake up Your Highness? Do you really have to wait until I die before Your Highness is willing to deal with this criminal slave?"
Sun Jiayi thought she had planned everything well. Even if the eldest prince did not punish Yun Fengyi, he should have ignored her. However, she never expected that the person standing in front of her was Yun Fengyi himself.
Ji Yunhuan listened expressionlessly, then turned to look at Xiao Yan, who was already sitting on the sedan chair next to him, and asked softly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Are you in pain?"
Xiao Yan shook his head, "It doesn't hurt now."
"That's good. I don't believe what they said. Xiaoyun, tell me what's going on."
Xiao Yan briefly explained the whole story.
Ji Yunhuan was stunned. Lin Wan'er was so cruel to him. Sun Jiayi was still the same as in her previous life, cruel and ruthless, and would do anything to achieve her goals.
If she was really framed like this, she didn't know whether Xiao Yan would believe her explanation.
Fortunately, she used the soul exchange. She would not be able to escape Sun Jiayi's killing plan on her own. However, with the system, as long as she is willing to spend merit points, she should not die.
Ji Yunhuan held Xiao Yan's hand and imitated Xiao Yan's tone and said, "Fortunately, Xiao Yun is fine, otherwise I would have killed them and buried them with Xiao Yun!"
Xiao Yan kissed Xiao Yun's hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness is so kind to me."
Sun Jiayi was greatly stimulated and shouted anxiously: "How can Your Highness believe Yun Fengyi's one-sided words? This golden hairpin is the evidence that Yun Fengyi hurt people. There are also many palace maids and eunuchs who can testify. The injuries of me and Lin Liangyuan are not fake. Why doesn't Your Highness believe me..."
“That’s enough!” Ji Yunhuan said angrily, “I only believe Xiaoyun, the princess doesn’t need to say anything more. Someone, lock up the princess and Lin Liangyuan, and make your decision after we have thoroughly investigated them!”
Sun Jiayi's confidant had been controlled. She shook off the eunuch who came to grab her and stood up by herself.
"Get out of here! Don't touch me! I am the prince's consort appointed by His Majesty himself. Even if Your Highness doesn't believe me, he can't abolish me. When I come before His Majesty, he will definitely clear my name."
Lin Wan'er also stood up and followed Sun Jiayi. "It's my fault that I'm with the prince's wife. If I hadn't come here to enjoy the scenery, nothing would have happened. Wuwuwu..."
The two walked hand in hand, as close as sisters.
Ji Yunhuan ordered people to carry the sedan chair and prepare to accompany Xiao Yan back to Xiaozhu Garden. Not long after they walked, she heard Lin Wan'er's sharp cry.
"Ahhh!! It hurts so much!!!" Lin Wan'er covered her face. The left half of her face felt like it was on fire and she rolled on the ground in pain.
"My face...what happened to my face? I clearly put medicine on it, how could it become like this? Ah! This is not me! No!"
A hideous face was reflected on the lake surface. Half of the face was festered and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible.
A white porcelain bottle rolled out of Lin Wan'er's arms. Lin Wan'er finally reacted and pounced towards Sun Jiayi.
"It's you! You're the one who hurt me! This isn't a skin-growing cream, you lied to me!"
The two men were fighting with each other, and Xia Yang couldn't handle it on his own, so he had to ask the "Eldest Prince" to come over.
Sun Jiayi was scratched on the face several times, bleeding. "You crazy woman! Let me go! It's obviously your bad luck that your face got rotten, what does it have to do with me?"
Lin Wan'er broke one of her wrists and was soon pushed to the ground by Sun Jiayi. When she saw the "Grand Prince" coming, she immediately crawled in front of him and cried:
"Your Highness, please be merciful. This has nothing to do with me. It was the princess who forced me to do this. If I hadn't falsely accused Yun Fengyi, the princess would have taken my life."
"I am helpless in this palace. I had no choice but to listen to her. She has ruined my appearance. I beg Your Highness to do this for me, wuwuwuwu..."
Ji Yunhuan put the small porcelain bottle away. With Lin Wan'er's testimony, things became much simpler.
"Stop crying! What a shame to make such a fuss! Separate them into two cells and find a doctor to treat Lin Liangyuan's injuries and take good care of her."
