When Linghu Yao learned that Emperor Hui was going to see Zhao Yunwan, he stopped giving him the muscle-relaxing powder.
Let him experience the final tricks of this vicious woman!
However, Linghu Yao told Xiao Sheng that Emperor Hui was still thinking about Zhao Yunwan.
Xiao Sheng was stunned.
"Don't stop him, let him see Zhao Yunwan's skills!"
"Even after being harmed by Zhao Yunwan, his heart is still with her. There is no other emperor who would do something like this."
Linghu Yao also felt that this was undoubtedly a tyrannical ruler.
Xiao Sheng suddenly remembered a novel term that Li Xingran had used: "love-obsessed".
My own father is probably just a hopeless romantic!
"Uncle Yao, you clear the obstacles for him and let him go by himself! You can just keep watch from a distance."
"Zhao Yunwan probably has a backup plan. If you can stop her, then stop her. If you can't, you need to protect yourself."
“The people in that prison all deserve to die. There’s no need to pity them. Even my father doesn’t deserve pity.”
"When you feel compassion, think of my mother and how she died."
"Sheng'er, you've grown up!" Linghu Yao said with relief.
Looking at Xiao Sheng before, Linghu Yao had several thoughts of grabbing him and beating him up.
Incorrigibly unruly and lacking ambition, how could he possibly live up to his master's sacrifice of his life to plan for him?
Fortunately, he reached where he is today in just over a year.
Linghu Yao saw this and was delighted.
However, Linghu Yao also knew that the role played by Li Ting and his wife in this was immeasurable.
Hopefully, Xiao Sheng will treat his meritorious officials well!
If this brat dares to do something like discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose, Linghu Yao will be the first to not forgive him.
Emperor Hui had the palace maids in the Taihe Palace help him wash and dress. After he was dressed, he boarded a palanquin and went to the imperial prison.
Upon arriving at the prison, they had no obstacles and went straight to the cell where Zhao Yunwan was being held.
When Zhao Yunwan saw Emperor Hui, her eyes lit up. After gathering her emotions for a moment, she looked up at Emperor Hui with teary eyes.
When Emperor Hui saw Zhao Yunwan, even though she was imprisoned in the imperial prison, she still retained her charm, especially her eyes, which looked into his heart.
"Jinglang—Your Majesty, you've finally arrived." Zhao Yunwan leaned against the iron railing, tears streaming down her face.
Upon hearing Zhao Yunwan's soft sobs, Emperor Hui forgot all his unhappiness.
He felt as if ants were gnawing at his heart, causing a numb, itchy, and painful sensation.
"Wan Niang, you've suffered so much. I'll go find Xiao Sheng later and ask him to release you," Emperor Hui said, holding Zhao Yunwan's hand.
“How could he possibly let me go? He said I poisoned his mother, Empress Zhao Yunshu.”
"It was I who ordered you to do it. I am the emperor, his father. What can he do to me?"
"He's about to ascend the throne, do you think he'll still listen to you?"
"A son has to listen to his father. Even if he becomes independent, he's still my son."
"Your Majesty, you are in the prime of your life, are you willing to become the retired emperor?" Zhao Yunwan asked Emperor Hui in a low voice, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Wan Niang, I am incompetent. Not a single civil or military official in the court listens to my orders. They have all been bribed by that rebellious son, Xiao Sheng."
“Jinglang, Wanniang still has people with her, but I can’t get out now.”
"Wan Niang, you have always been resourceful. Tell me what to do, and I will listen to you."
At that moment, the sounds of fighting came from outside the prison.
Linghu Yao went out to investigate.
Zhao Yunwan seized the opportunity and slipped a jade pendant into Emperor Hui's hand.
“Jinglang, wear this jade pendant all the time. When those people see it, they will contact you.”
"Also, we must keep Xiao Sheng occupied."
"This must be kept from everyone."
"You must avoid those who are watching you."
"Wan Niang, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you." Emperor Hui held Zhao Yunwan's hand tightly, reluctant to let go.
"Jinglang, I'm so reluctant to part with you!" Zhao Yunwan changed her expression from before and held Emperor Hui's hand tightly with deep affection.
Zhao Yunwan turned Emperor Hui's head and kissed his lips.
Emperor Hui felt a pang of emotion, thinking of the days gone by.
He was unwilling to become the retired emperor right now.
"Wan Niang, don't worry, I'll go get reinforcements right away." Emperor Hui licked his lips, the fragrance of Zhao Yunwan lingering on his tongue.
"Jinglang, sit next to me. I don't know if this is the last time I'll be with you. I cherish the time we spend together. I want to be with you for all eternity." Zhao Yunwan pulled Emperor Hui to a corner away from Zhao Guangyun and Zhao Yunchen to sit down.
After the two sat down, Zhao Yun's gentle and charming voice rang in Emperor Hui's ears.
"Jinglang, look into my eyes. Look at me now, don't I look ugly?"
Emperor Hui looked at Zhao Yunwan as instructed.
Zhao Yunwan's mouth was rapidly reciting an incomprehensible language, and then Emperor Hui seemed to be in a meditative state.
When Linghu Yao arrived outside the prison, he saw a group of assassins rushing in, intending to break him out.
This is a truly reckless fighting style. I wonder if they are from the Great Yue Kingdom who came to rescue Zhao Yunwan, because these assassins have no markings on them.
When Linghu Yao dealt with the assassins and entered the prison, he saw Emperor Hui and Zhao Yunwan sitting face to face across the iron bars of their cell, their hands clasped together.
Linghu Yao reminded Emperor Hui that it was time to leave.
Emperor Hui opened his eyes, but did not speak; he only sighed.
Zhao Yunwan was still sitting, as if she were asleep.
Linghu Yao went forward to check his breathing; he was still breathing, so he was alright.
After taking Emperor Hui away from the prison, Linghu Yao escorted him directly back to the Taihe Palace.
Emperor Hui remained very quiet throughout the journey, sitting obediently in the palanquin.
