Chapter 702 Testing Them



Shao Lecheng frowned tightly and didn't respond. Miao Qinghua, however, seemed tired and held her forehead with her hand. "With your friendship with the Regent, if you ask him to release Kang'er, he will definitely agree. There's nothing to worry about!"

"As for your title, I also feel that when the late emperor was still alive, you were already a prince. How could you regress?"

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Shao Lecheng bowed respectfully and turned away.

Miao Qinghua watched Shao Lecheng leave, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and then she said to Ke'er: "I hope your father really loves you."

After Jing Yuchen returned to the palace, he saw Zou Yangyao and Xiao Chuer coming. He asked curiously, "Have you finished dealing with the things outside the city?"

"As long as the prescription is correct and everyone takes the medicine on time, there's nothing else to worry about. The city gates are open, so we have to come back!" Zou Yangyao responded, then asked seriously, "You got Xue'er back, but what about Ke'er? What's the next step? How do we save Ke'er?"

"Let's take it one step at a time. There's no way to rescue him immediately. You don't have to worry too much. It's useless to worry. Let's go back to the general's mansion!" Jing Yuchen walked forward tiredly, not wanting to talk about his troubles.

Xiao Chuer stood in front of Zou Yangyao and sighed: "Let's go and see Gou Qiong. She doesn't have Ke'er, that bad temper..."

At the palace gate, Shao Lecheng slowly walked out of the palace gate. Seeing Shao Lecheng standing outside the palace gate, he was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

The guards at the palace gate immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, we have already told the princess that she is not allowed to carry weapons when entering the palace, but she insists..."

Duan Gouqiong patted his waist with his hand: "This is not a weapon, it's a belt! A belt!"

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a whip?

Is Duan Gouqiong stupid?

Shao Lecheng asked helplessly: "Then tell me, what are you going to do in the palace?"

"Ke'er is in the palace, what can I do? Of course I have to go get Ke'er back!"

As he spoke, he was about to rush inside, but the guard at the gate immediately stopped him: "You can't go in, put down your weapons!"

Duan Gouqiong looked at the guard with a speechless expression: "How many times do you want me to tell you, this is not a weapon!"

Shao Lecheng immediately stopped him and said, "Come with me, stop making trouble!"

Duan Gouqiong looked at Shao Lecheng hesitantly, "Why?"

"I've seen Ke'er today, and she's fine!"

Duan Gouqiong looked at Shao Lecheng doubtfully, "Then why don't you take the child out?"

"I can't explain it to you in a few words. Let's go and talk on the way."

The guard reported what happened at the door to Miao Qinghua, who said calmly, "If this arrogant and domineering Princess Gou Qiong didn't make a fuss, I would definitely find it strange."

"Now, on the contrary, I feel much more at ease. I am keeping a close eye on them. I want to see how they turn against each other..."

After nightfall, the entire capital was very quiet. Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen in the room coaxed Xue'er to sleep together before they climbed into bed.

As the candlelight in the room went out, the figure hiding on the roof moved.

After some time, the figure finally flew down from the roof.

Afterwards, he blew away the incense smoke quietly and slipped into the room quietly.

He approached the baby quietly again, and when he was out of the room, he heard a loud shout: "Assassin, assassin!"

Afterwards, the palace, which had been dark, became brightly lit again.

The assassin held the child in his arms and climbed over rooftops and walls, but there were many experts in the Regent's Palace, and it was difficult to get rid of him if he was tracked down.

Ni Yueshan put on her clothes and walked out, looking at Jing Yuchen beside her: "If the assassin really took the child away and was unharmed, this is too unreal, right?"

"Le Cheng's Qinggong is good, and he's not injured. That means no one touched him. How can this be false?"

"That's what you think!"

Jing Yuchen thought about this question seriously, and then said helplessly: "Okay..."

"Someone—bring me arrows!" Jing Yuchen shouted, his expression very serious. Ni Yueshan, standing aside, asked curiously, "Are you serious?"

Jing Yuchen turned to look at Ni Yueshan: "He came to the palace to steal and was unscathed. Isn't this too unreal?"

Ni Yueshan: “…”

Afterwards, in front of Ni Yueshan, Jing Yuchen flew up and followed the direction where Shao Lecheng disappeared.

Then, in the silent night, a scream was heard...

Jing Yuchen returned home first, looking disappointed: "The assassin escaped and the child is missing, but I shot the assassin..."

Ni Yueshan lay on the bed, supporting her chin with one hand: "Then you are very good."

The next day, during the morning court session, Miao Qinghua glanced at Shao Lecheng and noticed that he looked extremely pale, with sweat pouring down his forehead. She spoke with concern, "Prince Lecheng, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?"

Everyone present looked at him, and he said helplessly, "There's a tigress at home, there's nothing to talk about!"

"Really?"

This voice came from Jing Yuchen's mouth. Shao Lecheng raised his eyes and looked at Jing Yuchen, his eyes full of the feeling that they were not a couple.

"I heard that the Prime Minister's daughter is gentle and kind. If she marries you, the Regent, she must also be very gentle. Naturally, you can't understand."

Ni Gaofei stood in the main hall and coughed awkwardly. The smell of fire in the conversation between the two was too strong. This was not a private residence, nor was it a street market, so this topic had to end.

Jing Yuchen sneered sarcastically, his eyes looking at Shao Lecheng's shoulder blade: "Yesterday, there was an assassin in my palace. The assassin was shot by me while escaping. I... seem to be in the same position!"

As he spoke, he had already placed his hand on him. Shao Lecheng screamed, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was so weak that he almost fell to the ground.

Jing Yuchen looked surprised and retracted his hand: "What happened to you? Why are you bleeding?"

He had a heartless expression and looked at his palm, which was stained with blood. It seemed that Shao Lecheng was seriously injured.

"Are you the assassin?" Jing Yuchen asked.

Shao Lecheng endured the pain, trying not to faint, but he leaned on the minister beside him to lean on him. "There's a tigress at home! Don't you understand? She loves whip dancing, everyone in the city knows that!"

"Oh? Dancing with a whip? Then why not let the imperial physician take a look at your wounds so he can tell if they are whip marks or arrow wounds."

When Jing Yuchen looked at Shao Lecheng, there was doubt in his eyes and his voice sounded very cold, without any concern at all.

The ministers present were all surprised. Has the relationship between Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng completely broken down?

Otherwise, why would the two of them be like enemies?

As soon as Jing Yuchen finished speaking, Miao Qinghua spoke up: "I think the injury is indeed serious. I won't feel at ease unless I call the imperial physician to take a look. Someone, call the imperial physician!"
