Chapter 561: Escape Without a Fight



The women were speechless for a moment.

They never expected that their conversation could be heard outside, and they felt embarrassed and scared for a moment.

Someone couldn't help but say, "This lord, please be careful with your words!"

She quietly peeked out and saw that he was wearing a scholar's shirt, so he should be a minor official in the Hanlin Academy. She continued, "You seem to be a scholar, but it's really too presumptuous of you to speak so rudely!"

Xu Wenqu didn't care about manners at all, and asked coldly, "Who was speaking?" He bowed to the window and said, "I'm Xu Qing. Which lady can tell me who was speaking just now?"

Xu Qing's name has always been associated with Yan Shiyue. Someone immediately said, "This is Madam Cheng."

Xu asked the channel: "Thank you very much."

He then sneered, "I recognize Madam Cheng's voice. I have memorized all the things she said just now. I will report them later! I beg Your Majesty to discuss the pros and cons!"

Madam Cheng was furious: "You are a scholar, yet you are arguing with a woman. Aren't you ashamed?"

Xu Wenqu sneered and ignored him.

...

...

Madam Cheng said, "Everyone says Xu Liuyuan is His Highness Fu Yan's dog, and it's true! He barks so loudly!"

Before he finished speaking, footsteps were heard. The first person to come was Emperor Ming Yan, followed by the Crown Prince.

Hearing this, he paused. Everyone was shocked and fell to their knees, but Emperor Mingyan did not stop and went in quickly.

In the room, Huo Qijing was sitting on the edge of the couch, holding Yan Shiyue's shoulders with both hands.

Yan Shiyue lay sprawled on the pillow, his half-wet hair stuck to his forehead, looking disheveled.

Emperor Mingyan asked: "How?"

The imperial physician replied hastily, "Your Majesty, His Highness is safe!"

Emperor Ming Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Qijing stood up and made way for her. Emperor Mingyan then sat down, carefully holding her shoulders and looking at her face. He felt sweat on her forehead and felt it was wet and cold to the touch. He asked anxiously, "Why is it so cold?"

The imperial physician said tremblingly, "I've asked someone to prepare hot water. The water in Prince Chun's mansion is extremely cold, and Your Highness has been soaking in it for a long time, so it's a little... not appropriate..."

Emperor Ming Yan listened with his thick brows furrowed and placed his big hand on her forehead.

Yan Shiyue was drowsy and felt very uncomfortable. When he felt the temperature on his forehead, he opened his eyes and wanted to call out "Aye", but he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Emperor Ming Yan said angrily: "What do you mean by inappropriate? Just say it directly and don't hesitate!"

The imperial physician knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Highness's constitution is already weak and cold, and now it is even worse... I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to have children in the future."

Huo Qijing suddenly raised his head.

Yan Shiyue clearly saw the shock, pain and disbelief on his face.

It was as if the string in her head was broken at once, and she fainted again.

Emperor Ming Yan looked at Huo Qijing deeply.

At this time, hot water was also delivered. He slowly helped her back to the pillow, stood up and went out. Prince Chun knelt outside, and Emperor Mingyan sat down on the golden horse: "Speak!"

I plan to ask about this in person.

How could Prince Chun dare to hide anything? He told everything from beginning to end, including why he wanted to find Yan Shiyue.

Just at this time, Yan Shiyue's shadow guard came in to report.

As soon as they received the news, they immediately searched the palace and soon found Prince Chun's two servants, but when they found them, the servants were already dead.

They quickly spread out to search and arrested two suspicious persons, but after a rough trial, they found that these two people were also from Prince Chun's Mansion and were bribed, but they had not yet found out by whom.

It will be difficult to investigate further after such a mess.

Strictly speaking, the shadow guard's masters are only Yan Shiyue and Emperor Ming Yan, so the shadow guard only shows up when Emperor Ming Yan arrives.

Prince Chun was miserable.

This black pot is really pinned on him.

The other party knew him and Yan Shiyue too well. He had calculated every step accurately and had not missed any plan.

Emperor Ming Yan had a gloomy look on his face.

The prince took a look at his expression, then stepped forward and ordered his men to temporarily detain Prince Chun and his wife, Earl Guangcheng and his wife, and especially the little boy Tong'er. At the same time, he ordered people to search the prince's mansion and sent people to capture Zhao Xiangning.

As for the court officials and concubines who were guarding outside... the prince hesitated for a moment, but still told them to leave.

The crowd slowly dispersed, leaving only Prince Chun who kowtowed to him silently.

After all, this is Prince Chun's Mansion. Since they have detained Yan Shiyue, they still need someone to stay behind to provide support.

The prince stood with his hands behind his back, saying nothing.

At this point, even he couldn't guess who wanted to deal with Yan Shiyue.

And what is the other party's purpose?

Yan Shiyue exiled Lin Weizhong, stripped Jin Hejiao of his title, and killed Li Jinzhong... She was not a member of any faction, so any faction could potentially deal with her.

But before that, these people were still testing the waters.

But because of the first case sent by God, the situation got out of control, and now the two sides have become mortal enemies. They no longer look down on her. Even though she is lucky, she cannot escape the repeated traps and frames.

These people are so bold! They even dare to attack the princess! They deserve to be killed!

It was not until Yan Shiyue felt a little warm and changed his clothes that he was escorted back to the palace.

Meng Min's child was too young and was persuaded to leave. Yan Chengyuan and Huo Qijing were also not allowed to enter. Yan Chengyuan sent her to the palace gate, then turned back to send Meng Min home. However, Huo Qijing stood at the palace gate for a long time without moving.

His heart was boiling.

He could hardly hold back a groan from the pain.

Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, the scene of her falling into the water kept replaying in his mind, and he was extremely scared.

I wish I could sacrifice myself for him, I wish I could kill the culprit immediately!

When the imperial physician talked about offspring.

For him, it was indeed like a bolt from the blue.

His lovely wife, his children, his home.

This was the future he envisioned. He thought they must have more children, both sons and daughters, and it would be best if they all looked like her. Like her, they would be beautiful, smart and cute.

He will definitely teach them kung fu personally, and when the time comes, he can also teach her as well. If she continues to cheat, she must not let the children see it, otherwise everyone will cheat in the future. What will he do?

Whenever I think of it, although I am worried, I smile.

But the imperial physician's words shattered the softness hidden deep in his heart.

He is not stone, he can feel pain too.

But compared to this, there is more fear.

Yes, scared.

Sometimes her temperament was too resolute. She would rather die with honor than live in disgrace. She could not tolerate even the slightest displeasure on his part.

But she was too smart, and he couldn't hide his loss. He was indeed lost, but he never thought of giving up on her.

He wanted desperately to tell her this.

Having children is difficult, but not absolutely impossible.

If there were difficulties, they would face them together, but he was really afraid of her and would flee without a fight.

He was really afraid that Huo Qijing's importance was not enough to make her work hard for him.
