And what was most terrifying was that this happened at such a time. This palace maid came to report during the banquet. As a result, even if the Emperor wanted to protect Ye Chonglou, it would still be difficult for him to stop everyone's discussion.
There was no way to hide this from her.
Tang Kexin's eyes looked at the palace maid who always reported to him. This palace maid was truly frightened, so she came to report at this time? Or was he ordered to do so?
At this moment, the palace maid had her head lowered, and one could not see the expression on her face. However, one could see that she was trembling in fear.
At this moment, the emperor's expression had completely changed. He abruptly stood up, and all of the officials were so shocked that they didn't even dare to breathe. In this sort of situation, no one dared to say anything.
The emperor rose to his feet and took a step forward. It was clear that he meant to go to Ning He Palace. The empress recovered her wits and followed suit.
The corners of Imperial Concubine Ming's mouth raised a little, but she quickly covered it and followed him closely.
The other consorts naturally followed suit. After all, this was what they liked to watch most in this imperial palace.
If this was true, then even if the fourth prince's life was in danger, it would be difficult to protect the position of Empress.
Everyone else sat on the ground, not daring to move.
However, Tang Ke Xin directly stood up and followed him without any hesitation.
Night Tide, however, reached out his hand to stop her.
Tang Ke's heart looked at him with a dark expression. She understood that intelligent people like them should be able to protect themselves. He could ignore them, but did he also want to stop her?
"This King will accompany you." But unexpectedly, he stood up as well.
"But yours …" Tang Ke thought to himself. In the end, he was still a man. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to go to such an occasion.
"Imperial Physician Liu, follow me over to see what's going on." But he immediately turned to Imperial Physician Liu and ordered.
Although his words were casual, the meaning was clear. He didn't believe that the Fourth Prince would do something like that. He suspected that there was some conspiracy behind it, so he asked Imperial Physician Liu to investigate.
Even if Imperial Physician Liu wasn't a coroner, he should still be of some help.
Tang Ke knew in his heart that he was saying these words for everyone present to hear. Of course, with Imperial Physician Liu by his side, he would naturally be able to say them out loud if he accompanied Tang Kexin to Peace Palace.
"Everyone else has dispersed. Before today's matter is settled, if there is even a single false rumor, don't blame This King for not showing mercy." Ye Lanji's eyes quickly scanned his surroundings. Although it was just a quick glance, it was enough to shock everyone present to the core.
Usually, the Third Prince's words were like gold in front of outsiders, and with just a glance, he was able to scare them so much that they couldn't move at all. But now, with such a naked threat, it could cause a person to be scared out of their wits, no one dared to make a sound, not even daring to breathe.
The Crown Prince's eyes were filled with astonishment. He hadn't expected Youlan to interfere in this matter, and seeing that Youlan was holding tightly to Tang Kexin's hand, his eyes became a bit more ruthless.
"Thank you." Tang Kexin's heart was filled with gratitude. Tang Kexin was too clear on the importance of him standing out like this.
Tang Ke knew that his interference in this situation would definitely have a huge impact on him.
At that moment, Tang Ke was actually very responsible for thanking her. She didn't even know where this' thank you 'came from. At that time, she was truly grateful to Ye Lanjue.
When Ye Lanjue heard her words, his pupils slightly sunk. He quickly looked towards her, his lips slightly moving: "You're thanking this king. Can you thank me?"
The voice seemed to be slightly angry and angry.
Why would this woman thank him?
He wanted to thank him for Ye Lan Chen, but how could she thank him?
Who was she? What kind of relationship did she have with Ye Lan Chen? Why would she need to thank him on his behalf?
The corner of Tang Ke's mouth curled up, but he did not say anything. Listening to him say that, she also felt that the 'thank you' just now was a bit strange.
Perhaps it was a simple expression of gratitude.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Lanjue's expression still became somewhat dark. He let go of her hand and directly walked forward.
Tang Ke was stunned and quickly followed.
The Crown Prince followed him.
Tang Ke Xin was walking beside Ye Lan Jue. Seeing his gloomy expression, he knew that he was angry.
"About that, the 'thank you' just now was not said on behalf of His Highness." Perhaps it was because he was too suppressed when he was angry, or perhaps it was because his gloomy expression was too frightening. Tang Kexin subconsciously blurted out an explanation.
With these words of hers, the gloomy look on Ye Lanji's face instantly dissipated, and the oppressive aura also instantly eased up.
"Then why?" When Night Tide looked at her once more, his expression was no longer as cold as it usually was, as if there was something strange about it.
"Actually, I don't know the specific reason either. It's just a thought that came from the bottom of my heart. I didn't think of anything else." Tang Ke felt that explaining such a question was a bit funny. In reality, even she didn't know what had just happened.
Moreover, she didn't expect the third prince to continue pursuing the matter.
"Tang Kexin, if something were to happen to This King today, would you do this for This King?" Upon hearing her reply, the corner of Ye Lanjue's lips rose slightly as he suddenly approached her and asked in a low voice.
"…" Tang Ke was stunned and looked at him with suspicion. "How is it possible for your Highness to …?"
"This King only asks you, will it or won't it?" Ye Lanjue interrupted her, his eyes staring straight at her. He only focused on her answer, not listening to the nonsense she was spouting.
When she had heard that something had happened to Ye Lanchen, she had stood up without the slightest hesitation and had wanted to follow him.
Her reaction just now had truly stunned him, and made him somewhat jealous in his heart.
She was willing to do anything for him. She didn't care about anything. If something were to happen to him, would she be willing to turn her back for him?
The crown prince, who was walking behind them, saw their interaction. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could only see the intimacy between them. His eyes became heavier and colder.
"..." "It will …" Tang Kexin hesitated for a moment before she slowly spoke. Actually, she truly felt that the Third Prince's question was very strange.
Besides, the third prince wasn't Ye Chonglou. With his abilities, such a thing would never happen.
However, since the third princess insisted on asking, she could only answer.
She knew he would be angry again if she said no.
Hearing her reply, the corner of Ye Lanjue's lips curled up as a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
"After all, we're still working together." But, just as his smile slowly spread out, Tang Ke Xin suddenly thought of something.
The third prince's smile froze on his face. His eyes narrowed as he glared at her. For a moment, he couldn't help but want to strangle her.
This damnable woman really had the ability to make people angry to the point of not wanting to pay with their lives.
"Am I wrong?" Tang Kexin fiercely glared at him with widened eyes. She was at a loss. Did she say something wrong?
They were indeed in a cooperative relationship now.
"Or can our partnership be dissolved? "I feel that Feng Qingxi should …" Tang Ke thought to himself. Right now, Feng Qingxi should have given up and would no longer pester him. Then, wouldn't this collaboration be broken off?
"Tang Kexin, This King really wants to strangle you." Ye Lan looked at her with despair, the corners of his mouth slightly moving, his every word carrying an obvious gnashing of teeth.
This woman was usually very smart, smarter than anyone else. Why did she have to be so stupid in this aspect?
Damn partnership.
Was there really such a problem if he wanted to deal with Feng Qingyan?
Moreover, did she not feel that this collaboration was not worth anything to him?
It was the crown prince who had helped her.
Hadn't she thought of other reasons?
Of course, what the Third Prince didn't know was that Tang Kexin already had a preconceived notion in her mind. That was, the relationship between the Third Prince and Nangong Yi.
Because of this layer, Tang Kexin didn't think of anything else.
The corner of Tang Ke's mouth widened into a smile. If she were to speak properly, why would she want to strangle her to death?
What enmity did she have with him? What was there to resent? He was going to strangle her?
When Night Tide saw her expression, he secretly let out a sigh. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and lightly tapped her forehead.
He actually didn't use much strength, and only gave a slight warning.
However, Tang Ke's heart immediately sunk. This person was getting more and more used to beating him up.
The Crown Prince, who was walking behind them, heard their conversation, but he clearly saw the movement between them. His eyes slowly narrowed and his hands subconsciously tightened as if he wanted to break something.
While Tang Kexin and Ye Lanjue were talking, their steps did not stop. Thus, they quickly arrived at Peace Palace. The Emperor and the others had just arrived.
Tang Ke Xin didn't have the slightest hesitation and directly walked into the room.
She needed to see the first scene.
Only after seeing the first scene could he accurately judge the situation.
When the third prince saw her quick reaction without the slightest hesitation, he felt depressed in his heart. He discovered that he was actually a little jealous of Ye Lanchen.
When Tang Ke entered the room, he saw Imperial Concubine Ning lying on the bed. She had a blanket covering her body, but there were many bruises on her exposed skin. Other than the bruises, there were no other injuries.
As for Ye Wu Chen, his clothes were in disarray and his clothes couldn't cover his body. There were also a few scars left on his chest by the fingers of a glaring woman.
Seeing this scene, even someone as calm as her couldn't help but be stunned.
She originally thought that Ye Lanchen was only staying in Imperial Concubine Ning's room to arouse the suspicion of everyone. She didn't expect such a scene to occur.
