The rain was still pouring down, and someone had brought a whole barrel of what had never come from nowhere: oil or gasoline or something like that.
Suddenly, he heard a furious roar from behind him. The guard was thrown to the side.
"Wang!"
The commoners and officials were all shocked to see Chou Yan, who should not have appeared at this time.
Chou Yan looked at the oil barrel in his hand that was snatched away from the guards, gritted his teeth, turned, and poured the oil on the people kneeling down, then turned and rushed into the fire.
Luoluo should have fainted long ago, but she still knew what she was holding on for.
Ming Liehan's anxious voice sounded beside her ears, as if he was calling her Ming Zi.
"Gabriella!" "Gabriella!" Chou Yan ran into the fire. At the moment of life and death, he suddenly heard a loud noise in his mind. Chou Yan was shocked, as though too many things had suddenly flashed past his mind.
"Luoluo!" Chou Yan suddenly shouted and ran over.
Luoluo's consciousness had already blurred, but before she died, she thought that she heard Ming Liehan calling her this way with great satisfaction …
Not Gabriella, but the Luoluo … That's great … Hehe …
"Luoluo!" Just as Chou Yan was about to find the Luoluo within the spreading bonfire that had lost consciousness, his entire body and mind was in extreme pain. With his fastest speed, he ran forward, cut off the rope on Luoluo's body and forcefully shook her body that was riddled with scars, but she still didn't wake up.
Chou Yan clenched his teeth, and carried Luoluo up, turned and ran away.
When Chou Yan carried the unconscious Luoluo out of the bonfire, all the commoners, officials, guards and others kneeled on the ground outside.
"Imperial Physician!" Chou Yan suddenly shouted, "Immediately call the imperial physician into the palace!"
"Wang, Princess Gabriella is a monster!" The officer in charge of the punishment suddenly raised his body, and looked at Chou Yan who was about to kill with his red eyes with a trembling voice.
"Yeah, she's a monster …" What a disaster … "Don't be fooled by her!" The people knelt on the ground and whispered.
Chou Yan clenched his fist tightly, lowered his head and looked at the reclusive Luoluo, let out a deep breath, turned his head, and fiercely stared at everyone: "Who said she was a demon, tell him to personally come to I's palace to speak!"
With that, he ignored these foolish people, carried Luoluo and mounted his horse, and quickly galloped towards the palace.
If not for the fact that he suddenly and inexplicably wanted to go back to Chou Ming and then head to Jinchuan Country after he came back from Aperture Nation, would he not have been able to find Luoluo's corpse by the time he returned in half a month?
The Luoluo who was limp and unconscious in his arms was covered with wounds, his entire body seemed to have been continuously destroyed. There was a large chunk of blood on his lower body, but he could not understand what it was, she only knew that Luoluo was in imminent danger! If I don't save him in time, I'm afraid... Even he did not dare to look like her!
When the horse stopped in front of the palace gates, Chou Yan dismounted and ran into the palace with Luoluo in his arms. He ignored the palace guards who were kneeling down on both sides as if everything around him was no longer as important as the person who was about to disappear in his arms.
"Doctor!" "Imperial Physician!" Chou Yan roared, as he carried Luoluo and ran into the mandala.
There was no sign of Xi Er, no sign of Steamed Bun, the entire palace was empty. Just as Chou Yan was about to get angry, he saw that the imperial physician had already called him over.
"Wang."
"Hurry and save them!" Chou Yan clenched his teeth, and placed Luoluo on the bed. Immediately after, he saw that the blood on Luoluo's body had immediately seeped into the thick blanket below him.
The imperial physician quickly stepped forward and checked her body using the Luoluo's veins.
Chou Yan paced back and forth, and would occasionally stop to look at the Imperial Physician's movements.
When he wasn't in the palace, there were already people who went to hurt Luoluo! Suddenly, as if he had thought of someone, Chou Yan lifted his eyes and looked coldly outside the mandala, in the direction of the palace where Ge Er and Ru Er resided.
"Wang, this old subject came here not long ago to have a look at Princess Gabriella's body. Princess, she was pregnant for over a month, but now …"
Chou Yan was startled, he turned around and looked at the imperial physician coldly. "How is it now?"
"The princess has signs of a miscarriage, and I'm afraid the child can't be kept!"
It was this again! He remembered hearing these words in the Prince Chilling Cold Mansion before. Chou Yan gritted his teeth and glared at the imperial physician. "If you can't save your child, just wait for the head to hit the ground!"
"But …." The imperial physician wiped his sweat. "Right now, it's not just a child's problem. The princess is now …" "It has been …"
"No matter what happens to her, I wants you to save her immediately. "You, too, will cure all the diseases in the world. If you can't even save her and her child, then you will be waiting for the heads of the nine clans to fall off!" Chou Yan's eyes flashed with a dark bite.
"Wang …" The imperial physician was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He bent over helplessly. "This old official will do his best!" As he said that, he no longer dared to speak with Chou Yan and turned around to deal with the Luoluo.
"If a man is too busy to attend to himself, call the other physicians." Chou Yan said coldly, but his eyes were looking at the wounds on Luoluo's body and the large amount of blood on her skirt.
Slider? It was indeed very dangerous … Just what kind of torture had she suffered to receive so many injuries?
"Suddenly, Chou Yan turned his head, and looked around at the mandala, and then looked at the guard at the door:" Where did the servant called Xi Er and the child Yan Er go? "
When the guard heard this, he immediately bent down and kneeled down. "Return, return to the king …" Xi Er and their Young Prince were both imprisoned in the dungeon …
"Get them back!" The I wanted them to be completely unharmed! "Now!"
"Yes!" "Wang!" The guard quickly stood up and ran towards the dungeon.
Chou Yan clenched his fists, turned and looked at the busy Imperial Physician, and closed his eyes.
Before, when he was running into the fire, he … He remembered a lot of things … Some memories were originally hidden deep within his mind, waiting for this moment to recover …
Looking at the Luoluo who had been destroyed once again, Chou Yan raised his hands, suddenly feeling a little confused. He was a man, but why did he have to watch Luoluo suffer …
The child's wail sounded out from outside mandala. Xi Er who was covered in filth and Steamed Bun who had turned pale was brought over.
Chou Yan ordered some people to take them to wash up, and even after an hour, the crying steamed bun was still wrapped up. Xi Er stood at the side. Seeing Chou Yan standing in front of the door, he immediately wanted to kneel down, but Chou Yan held her hand: "Go and rest!"
"But …." Xi Er turned her head and looked at the Luoluo who had already been cleaned up but was lying on her bed unconscious.
"Mother …" Steamed Bun wailed. He didn't know what had happened to his mother. He just lay there quietly, not moving at all.
"Go rest." "Chou Yan took a step forward and carried the bun, then looked at Xi Er indifferently," When this Luoluo wakes up, she will still need your care. If your heart is broken, who knows who else will take care of her? "
Xi Er gratefully nodded, and worriedly looked at the reclusive Luoluo, then walked into the inner room, for the time being she had a chance to rest.
"Awoooo …" "Awooooo …" "Awooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …" "Mother …" Steamed Bun raised his hand and extended it towards the Luoluo.
Chou Yan hugged Steamed Bun painfully, patting his originally healthy, but now his face was pale. "Yan Er, don't cry, your mother is fine."
"Awoooo …" "Awooooo …" "Awooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …" Big Uncle! Why did Mother ignore Yan Er? Why did Mother ignore Yan Er? If the Empress was in pain, she would cry like Yan Er! "But mother ignored Yan Er, and did not allow him to let her go whooshing!"
"Silly child!" Chou Yan patted Steamed Bun's back and walked back to the bedside. He hugged Steamed Bun and turned his head around at the same time, looking at Luoluo whose complexion was so pale that it was almost transparent.
Just now, the imperial physician had instructed her to sleep peacefully like this and feed her medicine every few hours. However, there was no way of knowing whether or not she would wake up.
The imperial physician said that if Luoluo could wake up within seven days, then the children in her stomach would be saved as well. It was just that their bodies might be weak after they were born, but if the children could be born, then they could recuperate well for two years in the future.
Right now, the biggest question was whether Luoluo would wake up within seven days …
"Mother, talk to Steamed Bun!" Steamed Bun reached out and grabbed towards Luoluo's pale white finger.
Seeing that Steamed Bun was holding onto Luoluo's hand but she didn't seem to feel it at all, Chou Yan felt as if his heart was being pierced by thousands of needles.
"Mother, Steamed Bun will definitely listen to mother's words in the future. Mother, don't not leave Steamed Bun …" Even if mom called Steamed Bun a stinky brat every day, Steamed Bun wouldn't cry anymore! Mom, wake up! Steamed Bun has learnt to write his name! "Mother hasn't taught Steamed Bun how to write about Mother and Father's Ming Zi yet!"
Luoluo did not wake up.
"Mother …" Wake up! You once said that you would bring Steamed Bun with you to find Daddy! You said that your daddy would teach Steamed Bun how to write, learn martial arts, and teach Steamed Bun how to be an upright man! Mother, you can't go back on your word. You have to accompany Steamed Bun to find Daddy! Mother, look, Yan Er has always been calling himself a bun! Yan Er did not dislike this form of address, but liked it a lot! "Mom, Steamed Bun is calling you!"
It was said that men did not shed tears easily, but at this time, looking at the tiny child kneeling on the bed, holding onto Luoluo's hand and calling her softly in a pitiful manner, Chou Yan suddenly felt his eyes astringent, as if there were some kind of salty tears that had not flowed since he was young.
"Yan Er." Chou Yan suddenly hugged Steamed Bun into his arms.
"No, I want my mother to wake up and accompany me to find my father!" Steamed Bun shouted as he ran out from Chou Yan's embrace.
"Daddy is here, Yan Er!" Chou Yan hugged the bun tightly in pain. "He lowered her head and gently patted his shoulder," Yan Er's father is currently hugging Yan Er! "
"Steamed Bun was startled, but his small face was covered in tears. He turned his head around and stared at Chou Yan with his aggrieved eyes," "Are you your father?"
"Yes, I am Yan Er's father!" Chou Yan smiled faintly.
His own son was standing right in front of him, yet it took him so long to remember. He deserved to die!
"You are obviously Big Uncle!" It wasn't a lie! My mother said that only she knew father! Only she knew that her father would not die! "You are not my father, and my father would never bully my mother. You have bullied my mother before, and you are not my father!"
Chou Yan laughed bitterly, but patted Steamed Bun's head in praise: "I am the one who gave you Yan Er's name! "Ming Haoyan, wasn't it?"
He knew that her mother never said his full name. But this Big Uncle knew about it!
"But …" "My father should have the same surname as me." Steamed Bun raised his small hand and wiped the tears off his face, staring fixedly at Chou Yan, whose eyes were shining with the radiance of his fatherly love.
Chou Yan no longer explained and only laughed, "Foolish child!"
Steamed Bun didn't understand, but he wanted to be Steamed Bun's father the entire time.
Suddenly, Steamed Bun raised his arm and grabbed Chou Yan's arm, "Then if I really take you as my father, will you wake Mother up?"
Chou Yan's expression changed slightly as he turned around to look at the sleeping Luoluo.
"Could it be?" "Steamed Bun pouted," Yan Er doesn't like mother to be like this, but Yan Er still likes the woman who can call me a stinky brat but can't do it right now! "
Chou Yan smiled lightly and patted Steamed Bun's head, "Your mother will wake up."
"Really?" Steamed Bun raised his head. His eyes were filled with radiance.
"Really, she will wake up." Chou Yan smiled faintly.
"Daddy!" Steamed Bun suddenly pounced on Chou Yan's chest, and loudly called out: "Daddy!"
The doting smile that was on Chou Yan's face returned. He raised his hand and lightly patted Steamed Bun's back. "Yan Er, call me Royal Father from now on in the palace."
"Why?" Steamed Bun asked, puzzled.
"That's the only way to say it, or the others will be suspicious!" At least this way, he could make others think that he had accepted Yan Er as his godson and wouldn't let others know that he had recovered his memories, including the Luoluo.
He needed time, he needed to do something, to figure it all out.
"Then, Father!" "All of a sudden, Steamed Bun snuggled into Chou Yan's embrace obediently and muttered softly," "It feels so good to have a father!"
Chou Yan chuckled and raised his head to stroke Steamed Bun's head. In the blink of an eye, he looked at the sleeping Luoluo.
Luoluo, be strong, you must wake up!
If not, then he and Steamed Bun, the two big guys, would probably live their entire lives in pain.
Two days later –
Chou Yan stood on top of the golden hall, and looked coldly at the Ge Er and Ru Er who were brought in by someone else.
"Wang …" Ge Er said in a soft voice and was about to step forward.
Chou Yan raised his hand and stopped her in her tracks as he looked at them coldly, "Was the news about the fact that the Princess Gabriella was a demon that harmed the Chou Ming Country spread by the two of you?"
"Wang …" Ge Er lowered her head.
"Speak." Chou Yan frowned.
"Reply, reply to the king …" Ge Er bit her lips. "Ge Er and Big Sister are only guessing, but the ones spreading out are not us two sisters?"
"Who is that?"
"Yes …." "It was the man in black who used to come to the king's chamber." Seeing that Ge Er did not answer, Ru Er hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Young mistress!" Ge Er pulled Ru Er's arm and glared at her.
But helplessly, Ru Er had already said what she wanted to say.
Chou Yan squinted, "Him?" That black-clothed man had been secretly controlling him. When he lost his memory, he gave him memories that didn't belong to him. But now, he appeared again?
"Let's not talk about the man in black for now." With furrowed brows, he looked at Ge Er coldly. "How do you know that Princess Gabriella is a demon?"
"She …." Ge Er bit her lips and lowered her head. "Wang, Ge Er knows her wrongs!"
"What's wrong?" Chou Yan looked at him coldly.
"Ge Er shouldn't have angered the king, he shouldn't have caused any trouble …"
"Suddenly, Chou Yan slapped the handle of the dragon throne, causing Ge Er to kneel down in fear," King … "
"The I is interrogating you right now, not listening to your sweet and soft voice!" Chou Yan's face turned cold, his entire body soaking in the cold.
"Wang, Ge Er knows she was wrong!" Ge Er immediately knelt down obediently with a wronged expression.
She had always been the king's most beloved beauty, how could she …
"Why do you say that the Princess Gabriella is a demon?" Chou Yan continued to ask coldly.
"She was." Ge Er rolled her eyes, "She is a demon after all! Back in Ming Rui's day, that was the case. Many people said the same thing, now that she's in Chou Ming Country, and it's only been a few months, and she's already infected. If she's not a demon, then who else is? "
"Is that so?" Chou Yan suddenly raised his brows coldly and sneered at the woman kneeling below him.
"Ge Er and Ru Er are not from the Chou Ming Country, are they?" Chou Yan said indifferently.
Hearing that, Ge Er's body froze, she raised her head, and looked at the sneering Chou Yan.
"The two beauties were sent to us a year and a half ago. It's exactly five hundred days since the plague began!" "If they were called enchanters, did the two beauties not think of him?"
"This …." "Wang …" Ge Er opened her eyes wide and looked at Chou Yan.
"Hmph!" Chou Yan laughed coldly, "If you push the evil genius of Jinchuan Kingdom into the plaza, tell him that I is back and has caught the true evil genius, then you will be immediately burned to death!"
"No!" Wang! Wang! Ge Er was not a demon! How can you conclude that Ge Er is a demon without any proof? Don't ah... "Don't..." Ge Er shouted, but her body was already being held.
Chou Yan laughed coldly, "I only used his own path to suppress others!"
"No!" "Wang!" Ge Er opened her eyes wide, but was pulled out by someone.
Ru Er knelt down weakly, she raised her eyes and looked at Chou Yan who was covered with ice all over with fear.
"Oh?" "There is one more!" Chou Yan suddenly looked at Ru Er.
"Wang …" Ru Er bit her lips.
Chou Yan laughed coldly: "I has already investigated this matter clearly yesterday. On the account that you are an accomplice but not someone who will take the lead like Ge Er, I will spare your life. Someone had forced Ru Er into the dungeon, making it impossible for him to show her face for the rest of his life.
"Wang …" Ru Er shed tears.
Ever since she knew that she had been sent to the Underworld as a singing girl, she knew that her fate would be tragic in the future. However, she never knew that fate would come this quickly …
