In the capital, the people unanimously wished the grand wedding their blessing, but news came that the emperor had vomited blood and was unconscious. Afterwards, a search was conducted inside and outside the capital to find the whereabouts of Princess Tianmi, which made everyone feel sad.
"It looked like the tribute was about to be deducted, but now... why did something unexpected happen?"
Miao Qinghua stayed in the Prince's Mansion, looking after the Emperor, while Jing Yuchen led his troops to search for Qiu Tianmi.
The soldiers were searching outside, and Jing Yuchen had been standing on the street for a long time. At this time, a man in a black double-breasted robe walked over.
"Prince, they're searching for your wife and suspecting you of the Emperor's poisoning. Why don't you show even a little bit of concern? Are you pretending?"
This was said in a joking tone. He looked at him with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and a mischievous look in his eyes.
Jing Yuchen, who had been standing like a sculpture for a long time without moving, turned his head to look at him, but his expression was still cold.
"You should worry about yourself. You gave the elixir. If anything happens to our father, will it be traced back to you?"
Faced with Zou Yangyao's joking tone, his words sounded even more difficult to respond to.
Zou Yangyao coughed awkwardly and his expression gradually became serious.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Jing Yuchen: "Well, if that day really comes, remember to notify me in advance so that I can run away like Qiu Tianmi!"
"Qiu Tianmi is not running away!"
Zou Yangyao looked at Jing Yuchen in surprise: "Then why did she disappear from the new house?"
Jing Yuchen patiently asked, "Do you think Qiu Tianmi would murder my father? What is her intention?"
Zou Yangyao's expression became more and more confused, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Jing Yuchen snorted: "The one who insisted on serving tea was Yueshan!"
Zou Yangyao's eyes widened: "She, shouldn't she be in confinement? And that voice is not Yue Shan!"
"Yueshan has always been strong-willed. She said she would help me complete my wedding, and I agreed, but I didn't expect her to take action before me! As for her voice, it was Miss Xiao's medicine that made her voice a little thinner."
Speaking of this, Jing Yuchen had an angry expression, as if his liver was aching.
Zou Yangyao couldn't calm down for a long time: "Yueshan is really bold..."
Zou Yangyao then asked, "What about the real Qiu Tianmi?"
"She escaped a long time ago, but on the way, I kidnapped her. Now she is in my hands. She must take the blame today!" Jing Yuchen's tone was heavy, as if he was gritting his teeth.
Zou Yangyao stared at Jing Yuchen blankly. "You're killing two birds with one stone? Not only do you not have to marry Qiu Tianmi, but you can also kill your father and ascend the throne yourself?"
For the first time, Zou Yangyao felt some admiration for Jing Yuchen.
"I, the Crown Prince, have no interest in the throne! I originally planned to wait for my father to die from an overdose of pills, but Yue Shan took action early. However, after my father was diagnosed by the imperial physician, he concluded that he would at most be in a deep coma or paralyzed, but he would not die!"
"That's great! Your father has become paralyzed, so wouldn't it be natural for you to ascend the throne and become emperor?"
Jing Yuchen sighed deeply, "Father deliberately showed up today on the occasion of the wedding to announce to the world that his condition has improved. I no longer need to do anything for him."
"He was just one step behind. Yue Shan made his move, and before he could announce anything, he was already poisoned and unconscious..."
Jing Yuchen didn't look happy at all, and Zou Yangyao felt strange: "Then, what are you struggling with? You should be happy, right?"
"Everything went smoothly, but Yueshan in the new house is missing." Jing Yuchen looked at the people coming and going on the street. He stood on the street, his eyes searching the street, looking for a familiar figure.
Zou Yangyao was stunned.
"Such an important thing, and you actually left it to last! Damn it!"
Zou Yangyao cursed and started to leave, but then he paused and turned back to Jing Yuchen's side: "Where's Qiu Tianmi?"
"do what?"
"Either Yueshan disappeared on her own, or she was abducted! I think it's the latter. Do you think the person who knew that the bride was Yueshan was Princess Tianmi? The princess escaped and had Yueshan taken away?"
Jing Yuchen's evil face showed a changing expression. Then he took a big step, jumped onto the horse, whipped it and left.
Zou Yangyao immediately followed: "Wait, wait for me!"
Two young men, one in black and one in red, galloped up on their horses, flamboyant and outstanding, raising a cloud of dust along the way.
When the two stopped, they found an abandoned house, deserted and very quiet.
After dismounting, Jing Yuchen quickly headed towards the abandoned house. Although it was an abandoned house, many people who should have been guarding it were now all lying on the ground...
There seemed to be a smell of blood in the air.
Zou Yangyao's expression was the same as Jing Yuchen's, changing again and again. He couldn't help but curse again: "Beast!"
Jing Yuchen's face was icy as he walked towards a wooden stake with a note nailed to it...
"If you want her to live, gather at the cliff thirty miles away at midnight."
Zou Yangyao, who was standing by, said gloomily, "This is definitely a trap! At midnight! So late!"
Jing Yuchen collected the paper ball and said, "There's no other choice!"
Zou Yangyao frowned tightly. "This place is very secretive. Who discovered this place? And who rescued Qiu Tianmi?"
Jing Yuchen didn't respond to Zou Yangyao's words. He patted Zou Yangyao on the shoulder and said, "The capital city still needs someone to keep an eye on it. I think you can give it a try!"
He then walked out, and Zou Yangyao shouted in dissatisfaction behind him: "Hey, stop! I don't have the ability to mobilize troops!"
But Jing Yuchen did not respond. He turned over, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the cliff thirty miles away.
Zou Yangyao had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words.
Jing Yuchen is gone, and the mess here really needs someone to clean up...
Zou Yangyao rode back to the capital. The people in the general's mansion spotted him and rushed over anxiously: "Oh no, oh no, General!"
Zou Yangyao reined in his horse and stopped, looking somewhat displeased: "What could be wrong?"
What could be worse than Ni Yueshan being kidnapped?
"It was the Queen. She heard that you and the Crown Prince rode away together, so she suspected that there was some collusion between you and the Crown Prince. She searched the General's Mansion, and Xue'er was taken away..."
Zou Yangyao's eyes widened: "What!"
After being surprised for a while, he anxiously asked, "Where is the queen? Where is she now?"
"The Queen had the Emperor brought back to the palace, and Xue'er was also taken to the palace..."
