Shui Long was surprised that Ye Huangyan was waiting for him at the entrance of the crown prince's residence. However, he quickly understood. It seemed that the reason why the crown prince sent this person to pick her up was not because he wanted her to return immediately, but to test if she would listen to him. However, it was a good thing that she had quickly followed him back. Otherwise, the crown prince would definitely cause trouble for the Shui family.
Secretly rejoicing, Shui You walked forward with a gentle and obedient smile: "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Lady, you don't have to be so polite to me." Night Emperor smiled gently, then indicated for her to enter.
Shui Long nodded his head and then walked in.
Emperor Ye Yan followed behind her as they walked in. The two of them were extremely close, with one following behind the other. When the two of them walked into the distance, in the dark corner, a woman left in a hurry. He walked towards the most respected lady in the crown prince's residence.
Inside the crown prince's residence, in the crown prince's imperial concubine's courtyard.
Shangguan Yun was dressed in red today, looking noble and elegant. She sat on a chair in the yard and leisurely drank some tea. After a while, a young girl in pink hurriedly ran in and kneeled on the ground, "Crown Princess, your servant pays his respects to you."
Seeing the young girl return, Shangguan Yun hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand. The carefree from before was completely gone, replaced with anxiety. "Speak, how is it? Is the crown prince waiting … "
"To reply the Crown Princess, this servant has been waiting outside for a long time. When I thought that nothing strange was going to happen, a woman walked over. When the Crown Prince saw that woman, his eyes turned soft and gentle." This servant has never seen His Highness treat anyone like this before. "His Highness usually treats you so badly as the crown prince's consort, but he treats this woman very well."
The young maid said indignantly. Hearing that, Shangguan Yun's face darkened.
"You may leave." Shangguan Yun's voice was cold, with a trace of dissatisfaction in it. Hearing this, the young maid rolled her eyes and said, "Crown Princess, I have an idea. Maybe I can get the hall to come to you."
The young maid's words made Shangguan Yun's eyes light up. When she looked at the young maid again, the displeasure on her face had changed to kindness. She looked at the young maid and said gently, "Tell me about it."
"Yes, Crown Princess." The maid then walked up to the Crown Princess and whispered into her ear.
After Shangguan Yun heard the young maid's words, her heart was filled with joy. She stood up and a trace of malice appeared on her face. "Go, invite His Highness over."
"Yes, this servant will go now." As the young maid spoke, she ran out.
Shangguan Yun, who had been left behind, returned to her room after the young maid had left. She drew her long sword, which emanated a cold light, as if telling him how dangerous she was.
However, Shangguan Yun kept stroking the blade of the sword, and when she finally touched the tip, her eyes turned cold. She reversed the sword and fiercely thrust it downwards towards her chest.
The sword sank into her body, and blood stained her scarlet clothes, causing her to exude a bit of black.
"Ugh …" The sound of a sword entering her body made Shangguan Yun's face turn pale. She held onto her sword shakily. When she saw that there was a shadow moving outside, she threw her sword away and suddenly shouted: "Help, help! "Save me …"
Shangguan Yun's shout was very shrill, making it hard for people to hear her.
Outside, the patrolling soldiers hurriedly ran in after hearing Shangguan Yun's shout. When he saw Shangguan Yun lying on the ground, he rushed over, "Crown Princess?"
"Quick, go get someone, there's an assassin!" Shangguan Yun's voice was weak as she pleaded while looking at the guard.
When the guard heard this, he was naturally anxious.
The Crown Prince's Palace was in an uproar.
Sometimes, things were impossible to defy.
Nightmare Emperor Yan liked Shui Ruo so much that he almost wanted to give her everything. However, no matter how much he liked her, he couldn't make her become his princess consort.
Firstly, a merchant family was not meant to be an imperial concubine, and secondly, the Crown Prince's consort, Shangguan Yun, had an illustrious family background. If Shangguan Yun was innocently abandoned, then he wouldn't be able to sit in the crown prince's seat. Besides, if he really made Shui Ruo sit in the position of the Crown Prince's consort, she would be in danger.
As a crown prince, he could do anything and get anything. However, if he wanted to protect a weak girl, it would be too difficult. Humans were weak. If one was not careful, they would die. He was the crown prince, so he could bet everything. However, he didn't want to bet on her.
But because of this, no matter how much Emperor Ye Yan disliked the Crown Prince's consort, Shangguan Yun, he couldn't not care less when Shangguan Yun was hurt, because she was the Crown Prince's consort.
She was injured, and that was a huge matter. It would definitely alarm the imperial palace, and if he didn't go, people would gossip about him.
In the quiet courtyard of the crown prince's residence. When Night Emperor heard about the matter of the crown prince's consort, his brows tightly knitted together. Shui Ruo saw Ye Huang Yan's reaction and giggled, "Your Highness, what happened to you? "Worried about the Crown Princess?"
"No …" Night Emperor Yan frowned.
"Then, why is His Highness still frowning?"
"I don't want to leave you." The Crown Prince looked at Shui Ruo. He knew that if he went to see the Crown Princess, he would have to spend the night with her tonight. He couldn't come back to Shui Long.
Don't want to leave! Shui Yuehan couldn't help but want to laugh at his words. The heavens knew how much she wanted to let the Crown Prince go to the Crown Princess. Sitting together with Night Emperor Yan, every minute felt like he was being suppressed!
However, he couldn't say such words in front of the crown prince. Thus, looking at the Night Emperor's flames, Shui Ruo could only smile.
After a while, Night Emperor Yan couldn't help but stand up and leave. Before he left, he looked at Shui Ruo and said, "Tonight, regardless of who comes, do not follow him out. "Believe me, I won't hurt you."
After saying that, Night Emperor Yan turned around and locked the door.
The sound of the door being locked was ice-cold, but it was not as cold as the sound of the water.
In this Crown Prince's Palace, she was like a bird trapped in a cage. Even if she was to leave her room, there was a thread under her feet that prevented her from being free and unfettered. This was the shackle the crown prince had given her.
Previously, when Night Emperor had locked her up, although she was anxious, she did not hate her. This was because he was very clear on the personality of Emperor Ye Shang. He would never really lock her up. However, at this moment, Nightmare had locked her in. Although it was just tonight, she was extremely disgusted. It was because he knew that this man might do the same thing in the future.
Perhaps, it was not a good thing that the Night Emperor had the exact same face as the young woman from the Flame Emperor's dream.
In the capital, the thing that could not be concealed the most was news. When the news about the Crown Princess's wife and assassination was spread out, everybody in the Crown Prince's Palace knew about it.
When Night Emperor Yan arrived at Shangguan Yun's bedroom, Shangguan Yun had already been placed on the bed.
"How is it?" Nighttime Emperor Yan walked into the room, looked at Shangguan Yun and asked.
Hearing this, Shangguan Yun struggled to sit up and said, "Your Highness, I, I …"
The woman's face was deathly pale, and she looked extremely weak. Night Emperor walked forward, coldly looked at Shangguan Yun, and asked, "Have you invited the imperial physician?"
"Nope." Shangguan Yun shook her head.
"Men, call for the imperial physician."
"Your Highness, don't." Shangguan Yun wanted to stop Ye Huangyan in her haste, but she had already spoken.
"Your Highness, if you ask for an imperial physician, the news of me being assassinated will certainly spread to the palace. If someone from the palace comes, it may not be true, but it may not be true, it may not be true, it may not be true, it may not be true. "
"If you do not request for an imperial physician, the palace will also know that you are injured. "When the time comes and there's no silver here, it will be even harder to explain." Night Emperor Yan saw through everything.
When Shangguan Yun heard this, she lowered her eyebrows and said apologetically, "It's all my fault. If it wasn't for chenqie being careless, I wouldn't have done so."
"Alright, if you really have the heart to do so, then even if I don't say anything, I still know." Night Emperor waved his hand and did not mind Shangguan Yun's goodwill.
Shangguan Yun looked at Ye Huangyan and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she fell silent.
When a person doesn't love you, no matter what you say, that person won't believe you. Because at the beginning, this person already had his own understanding. What you know.
Shangguan Yun had always lived under the contempt and bullying of Night Emperor Yan, so she had long known about it. This man didn't have any good feelings towards her. In his heart, she was the main culprit that caused him to be unable to wholeheartedly wait for the woman in his dreams to appear. If it wasn't for her, the position of the Crown Princess would be a peaceful one. It was all her fault.
This was what this man, whom she loved with all her heart, was thinking at this moment, right? Shangguan Yun thought, hatred had already filled her heart. She liked this man and had almost forgotten her own dignity. She liked this person, and she also loved that night as well.
To love the Night Emperor was to use the present. But to love the Night Emperor meant to use all the feelings she had when she was young. These two were her most important people. If she could obtain the heart of one of them, she would have achieved what she wanted in her life. But! The Night Emperor had fallen for the woman called Shui Yuehan, and even joined the Shui family. His Highness had fallen for that woman called Shui Yuehan, because that woman had the exact same face as the woman in his dreams. Both of them were taken by the same woman. How could she be willing to accept this?
Therefore, even if she wanted to kill that woman, it wasn't her fault. Everything was the girl's own fault. She was too greedy and wanted something that shouldn't belong to her!
Shangguan Yun's face turned gloomy as she thought about this.
"Your Highness, Crown Princess, someone from the palace has come."
Outside, the attendant's voice sounded, breaking the stifling silence in the room. Hearing this, Night Emperor Yan raised his head and said, "Imperial Physician, please come in."
As Nightmare's voice faded, an old imperial physician led by a young lady slowly entered the room.
The lady glanced at Night Emperor Yan and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness."
"You're up, Ling'er." The Crown Prince looked at the girl and said blandly. This woman called Ling'er was the Queen's most capable palace maid. The empress would discuss everything with her and treat her extremely well.
Now she was here. Apparently, he cared a lot about the assassination of the Crown Princess.
"Imperial Physician Zhang, go quickly and visit the Crown Princess." Ling'er glanced at the imperial physician by her side and requested. Hearing this, the imperial physician hurried to Shangguan Yun's side to examine her wounds.
After seeing the wounds on her body, the Imperial Physician looked deeply at the crown prince's wife before turning to the crown prince and Lady Ling'er. "The crown prince's consort was probably injured by a sword. I presume that assassin used a sword."
"You don't need to worry about that. You just need to cure the princess consort." Ling'er coldly demanded of the imperial physician. The imperial physician hastened to bow in respect. Then he went to prescribe medicine for Shangguan Yun.
During the examination, the imperial physician looked at Shangguan Yun more and more deeply. This wound wasn't caused by an assassin, it was … Wounded himself.
He had seen a lot of these things in the palace. However, the Crown Princess outside the palace could actually do such a thing. It was truly surprising. Could it be that the crown prince had found a new partner, which was why he was forcing the princess consort to come up with such a plan?
The imperial physician made a bold guess, but he didn't say it out loud.
As a doctor, all he needed to do was to remain silent. This was because if something was said, it would cause one to be killed.
