"Men! Protect the king! Stop that assassin!" On the throne, the emperor ordered, while Night Emperor Yan rushed to catch the crumbling Shangguan Yun. She looked at the unconscious Ye Ci in disbelief. Glimmers danced in his eyes.

How could he be so foolish? How could this be … To block for him? If she didn't stop him, perhaps he would die, and then she wouldn't have to worry about him piercing her. When Night Emperor looked at Shangguan Yun who was in his arms, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw her.

Was it on his wedding day with her? When she lifted the hood, her eyes were filled with anticipation and joy. But in the end, he did not care. Since then, she had started to please him in a different way, and he had ignored her, occasionally became angry, and even punished her.

He had originally thought that she would leave. However, he had forgotten that as long as a woman married, it would be a matter that lasted for her entire life. Right now, the person that he had always hurt was lying in his arms. He looked so helpless and so sad.

"Shangguan Yun, you."

"Your majesty, it's good that you're fine." Shangguan Yun's voice was hoarse. As her words fell, her fingers trembled, wanting to touch Nightmare's face. However, in the middle of her words, her fingers suddenly dropped.

When Night Emperor saw this, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted, "Someone, come! Pass on the message to the imperial physician! "

The entire banquet quieted as soon as Ye Huang Yan shouted, and the imperial physician came over as fast as he could. When he saw the imperial concubine lying in her arms and his unfriendly expression, the imperial physician's mind buzzed. Then he ordered someone to carry Shangguan Yun to a room temporarily.

This place was usually occupied by the crown prince when he returned to the palace. It was the perfect time for Shangguan Yun to use it now.

Because of the assassination attempt on Shangguan Yun, the banquet could be said to have ended on a bad note. The emperor left in a fit of rage while the empress went to see Shangguan Yun. Seeing the Crown Prince's pitying look towards Shangguan Yun, he thought that there was hope. Therefore, he said, "My son, all these years, you should know what she does to you. Mother will not beg you to let her go, but to the outside world, mother hopes that you will leave her some face. She was the Crown Prince's consort, and also the daughter of the Shangguan family. If her reputation of being jealous was spread out, she probably wouldn't be able to keep her position in the future. Besides, we say that she was jealous, and outsiders might even say that she was involved with someone else. She's a woman, how do you want her to live on in the future? "

"I know." As he looked at the woman on the bed, he slowly closed his eyes. From the looks of it, this was the only way. Even if … To abandon that man.

He had already let Shangguan Yun down. Now, Shangguan Yun had almost died because of him, and was also hanging on with one breath. If he still wanted to add insult to injury, then he would be devoid of humanity.

"That's right. The Crown Princess is the most suitable person for you in this world. She is the only one who would unconditionally like you." The woman you like, she can do this for you? " The Queen continued to speak when she saw that the Crown Prince had agreed.

To do this? The Crown Prince smiled bitterly. She would probably use him as a shield, wouldn't she? It was truly laughable. He didn't like people, but they were willing to risk their lives for him. The people he liked would never think the same way about him.

The Crown Prince made up his mind. He didn't leave the house and just stayed by Shangguan Yun's side. After a few words of concern, the empress left, and as she left, she observed the situation, feeling more and more satisfied with her plan.

Returning to her bedroom, Hong Mei who had come up with a plan knelt on the ground. "Congratulations, Niangniang. The plan has succeeded."

"Of course. If it weren't for you, Hongmei, I would have been troubled by this matter. It was all thanks to you." The Queen was beaming as she looked at Hongmei with a touch of gentleness in her eyes. When Hongmei heard this, she bowed her head and said, "Hongmei is just doing her duty. Everything was done by the Empress herself. "

"That's true. However, thanks to this time's plan, my son finally stopped thinking about that woman. "Hongmei, did you not see the expression on the Crown Princess's face today? I think that if the Crown Princess could see it, she would feel at ease."

The queen laughed.

Hongmei smiled when she heard this. Then, as always, she massaged the shoulder and legs of the Queen. The Queen closed her eyes and enjoyed the care and comfort of Hongmei.

For the empress, Hongmei was a must. If she wasn't there, the empress would really be panicking.

On one side, the empress was in a good mood, while on the other side, Night Emperor Shang's face darkened. He stood outside the Crown Princess's room and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" The voice of Night Emperor Yan sounded, somewhat haggard. Upon saying that, he walked to the door and opened it. He then saw that Night Emperor Shang was standing at the door, looking at him.

"It's you?" The Crown Prince frowned. He could roughly imagine why Emperor Shang had come here for. Previously, he had planned to look for Emperor Shang, but unfortunately, this would not happen again.

"Imperial Brother, you should know why I'm looking for you, right?" Night Emperor Shang was a straightforward person.

Hearing this, Night Emperor Yan nodded his head and said, "I know, but I can't help her anymore."

"I suppose so." Emperor Ye Shang glanced at the princess consort and said, "Then, I hope that royal brother will not help the man inside. At least, not to let Shui You get into such dire straits. After all, her royal brother had once liked her, and her current state was also due to her royal brother's circumstances. "

Night Emperor Shang's attitude was solemn. Hearing this, Night Emperor Yan gave it some thought before nodding his head.

"If royal brother nods, I am at ease. "In that case, I won't disturb you." After Nighttime had finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait! Is she all right? " Night Emperor Yan stopped Night Emperor Shang and asked worriedly.

"Not bad, just a bit clumsy. I believe in people I shouldn't have. " With that, Night Emperor Shang left.

Night Emperor Yan knew that he was the one speaking, but no matter what she thought, he wouldn't be able to help her. For the sake of the girl in the room, and also for his own sake.

As the crown prince, no matter how much he loved Shui Ruo, he still could not be too excessive. Otherwise, the one who would be in trouble later would be him.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to part with the crown prince's position, but if he wasn't the crown prince, then he wouldn't even be qualified to threaten Shui You with the last bit. How could he be with her?

He couldn't give up his position as the crown prince or his current consort. The Crown Princess was a very aloof person. Although she was usually gentle, he knew that if he wasn't the Crown Prince, she wouldn't be able to live.

The Shangguan Family wouldn't want an abandoned chess piece. If she didn't want to be recalled to the Shangguan Family, she would only walk into a dead end.

Perhaps, in this world, only he and Shangguan Yun were suitable to be together. Shangguan Yun couldn't leave him, and he also needed a woman like Shangguan Yun.

He wanted water, but he couldn't ask for it. Everyone has a request, but something they cannot ask for, and even royal father was no exception.

As he thought this, he felt relieved.

"Cough!" Cough cough! " Just as Night Emperor was struggling with himself, the woman on the bed suddenly coughed.

Hearing that, Night Emperor Yan hurriedly went forward and asked, "How is it?"

Shangguan Yun never dreamed that the person she saw when she woke up was actually Night Emperor Yan. She was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor as she looked at Night Emperor Yan, unable to speak for a long time.

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking? Is the wound still painful? " Night Emperor Yan looked at Shangguan Yun with concern.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yun's eyes reddened, "It doesn't hurt anymore. Your Highness cares about me, so I don't feel any pain at all."

"You're crazy! Do you know that if that assassin's sword went even deeper, your life would be gone! " Ye Huang Yan looked at Shangguan Yun with dissatisfaction, and said angrily.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yun's smile became even more harmless. She looked at Ye Huang Yan and said, "This might not be too bad. It is my honor to die for the Palace. Rather than live and make His Highness hate him, it was better to die and let His Highness think about him. Furthermore, I cannot bear it. In front of me, his highness was injured. "

"So, just let yourself be injured?" Night Emperor Yan did not know where Shangguan Yun got this strange logic from, but he was indeed touched.

"I'm just a woman that His Highness hates. Even if I die, His Highness wouldn't be sad, right?" Shangguan Yun smiled bitterly.

"Who said I won't be sad!" Emperor Ye Yan retorted. Then, under Shangguan Yun's shocked expression, he sighed and said, "Rest in peace. This will never happen again."

"In the future?" Do I have any future? " Shangguan Yun was surprised.

"Of course there is. In the future, you will be like the Queen Mother and become the person who respects the world. You will be the person standing by my side. who can share the success with me. " Night Emperor Yan said indifferently. As Shangguan Yun listened, she felt as if she was in a dream.

How many years had it been since she'd thought about this? But she'd never succeeded. But just when she was about to lose all hope, this person gave her hope. Wasn't this just a dream? If it was a dream, it would be too extravagant.

"Alright, you rest easy and rest easy first. I need to go see royal father." The Crown Prince looked at Shangguan Yun and said gently.

Shangguan Yun felt dizzy and nodded.

When the crown prince left, Shangguan Yun was still a little dazed. Your Highness, how did you change so much?

"Sister Yun, I'm coming in." Not long after the Crown Prince left, the Night Emperor's Ze, who had not appeared for a long time, walked in.

He looked at the pale-faced man lying on the bed, frowning.

"Why are you here?" At this moment, Shangguan Yun didn't have a good impression of the Night Emperor Ze. If one were to talk about the previous favourable impression she had of the Night Emperor's marsh, it was only because he had ignored her. But now, he had given her a promise, and she no longer needed this man in the future. His presence would only remind her of those nights.

"You don't seem to be too welcoming of me. Why?" What did Night Emperor Yan say that sounds good to you? " Emperor Ye Ze smiled, he had guessed everything. He walked to the place where Night Emperor Yan was sitting before and sat down, looking at Shangguan Yun with great interest.

"Don't be too at ease, you still don't know, right? The mastermind behind today's assassination. " The Night Emperor looked at Shangguan Yun with a smile.

"What do you mean? Do you know who the mastermind is? It couldn't be you, right? " Shangguan Yun frowned.

"Of course it wasn't me. How could I do such a thing? However, that person hired one of my men. So I naturally know who it is. "

The smile on the Night Emperor's face became increasingly pure.

"Who is it?" Shangguan Yun had a bad feeling about this.

"Empress." Nightmare King used his mouth to speak to her. However, the moment she said that, Shangguan Yun's expression changed drastically. He even connected everything together.

It was impossible for the empress to harm her child, so her goal was not to assassinate Night Emperor Yan. Of course, it was impossible to assassinate her at a time like this. After all, the empress still needed to go to the Shangguan family. Thus, his only purpose was clear.

Looking at the crown prince's current attitude towards her, the empress's original intention was for her to block the sword for him and then obtain his forgiveness.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun's heart was filled with shock. If that was the case, wouldn't she be following the Empress' path?

"How is it? Do you still feel at ease? " The man looked at Shangguan Yun playfully. Hearing this, Shangguan Yun's eyes were fierce: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this."

"Of course. I like Sister Yun so much, why would I spread such nonsense?" The Night King looked at Shangguan Yun with a smile, and then with satisfaction saw Shangguan Yun's darkening expression.

That was it. He definitely wouldn't let her escape his control. Sooner or later, this girl would belong to him completely.

Even if the Crown Prince had forgiven her at this moment, it would still be the same.

"Elder sister wouldn't be naïve enough to think that the crown prince wouldn't be able to continue staying idle in the future because of this matter, right?" When Ye Huangze spoke again, it caused Shangguan Yun's face to turn pale.

That's right, how could he not see the water? As long as that woman is still alive, His Highness heart will not belong to her.

No matter how much His Highness treated him right now, no matter how long it took, the person he liked would still be that woman, and he had never fought with her before.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun's expression turned even worse.

"Sister Yun, don't be too stupid."

"What do you want?" Shangguan Yun looked at Ye Huangze hatefully. She did not understand why this person would always appear when she was happy and add fuel to the fire.

"What can I do? I'll be leaving first. Sister Yun, think about it slowly. " The night emperor came quickly and left quickly as well. However, it caused Shangguan Yun's state of mind to have a change of heart.

If it was before, she would be happy and at ease. However, at this moment, he felt even more uneasy. There was also the determination to make the water disappear forever.

Now, as long as the water disappeared, His Highness would completely belong to her.
