Royal Palace

"Yan Chen found it, and now it is almost certain that it was made by Zhao Xuan."

"Now, King Yi'an and Yan Li have rushed over! The Duke of the Kingdom, Grand Tutor Zhao, and the Sixth Prince have also gone."

After hearing the report from the Imperial Guard, the emperor spoke, "What's the situation in Yan Chen now?"

"Return to the emperor, this is not clear yet! However, once it is confirmed, they will come back to report it soon."

The emperor heard this and fell silent.

Although it is not certain, it can be imagined that since Yan Chen fell into Zhao Xuan's hands, he would definitely not be able to do well.

Zhao Xuan is also looking for death!

The emperor thought, raised his eyes and looked at the imperial guards in front of him, "You said just now that the Sixth Prince was following you too?"

"yes."

When the emperor heard this, his expression moved slightly and thoughtful. Lao Liu seemed to be very concerned about this matter. Is Cunci curious about this? Or is it because of something else?

If it is because of something else, it will be very intriguing.

***

Dead trees, rivers, hills, sunsets!

The scenery of early winter, the coldness of early winter!

Sitting on the boat, feeling the cold winter wind, looking at the hills not far away, Yan Li looked calm, but not in her heart.

The Fourth Master stood behind him, hugged her, blocking some cold wind for her. Looking at Yan Li's quiet smiling face, he was silent at this time.

Comfort, he is not good at it, and it is also unnecessary at this time. Yan Li's mind is not on those useless nonsense.

"Master, according to the interrogation, the dark hole hidden by Zhao Xuan should be there."

Listening to Wu An's words, the Fourth Master raised his eyes and looked ahead, reached out to hug Yan Li, and flew away.

I also hope that Yan Chen will be safe and sound. Yan Chen will be safe, perhaps it is the best birthday gift for Yan Li. However, this expectation will eventually be difficult to achieve. Because...

Before I got closer, I could hear Zhao Xuan's irritable roar!

The sound came into my ears, Yan Li's hands hanging on her side tightened, and her heart sank.

"Steal the antidote quickly, or I will shave it alive."

"Whatever you do! I won't give you the antidote. I have said a long time ago that I will never let you hurt my daughter again. So, you will die!"

A weak voice fell, and a loud slap sounded.

Bang!

I was beaten and my ears buzzed, but I could no longer feel any pain on my face, and it was so painful that I was already numb.

"Yan Chen, I think you really want to die."

Hearing Zhao Xuan's angry voice, Yan Chen pulled the corner of his mouth, but smiled, and a scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "Zhao Xuan, I'm dead without regrets if I can take you with me."

"A person like you is not worthy of being my daughter's father. So, I want to take you away. In this way, she can live more stability in the rest of her life and will not be suppressed by the word "filial piety" in the world. You are wronged to face you again! Uh..." Before she finished speaking, there was an extra hand on her neck and her throat was pinched.

"Yan Chen, I tell you, it's not that easy! As long as I, Zhao Xuan, still breathe a sigh of relief, Yan Li will never think about it in this life. Now, I will send you on the road first, and then I will go to the capital immediately, kill Yan Li at all costs, let her go to the underworld to reunite with you, so that you can't even die in peace!" As he said, his hands tightened. Yan Chen heard that, without saying anything, his throat was locked, his breathing was restrained, and death came again...

This is the first time these days, and she can't remember it clearly. But the only thing she knows is that no matter how many times she has experienced such pain, she has never been afraid or regretted.

It was because he knew that Zhao Xuan would definitely use his identity as a "father" to make things difficult for her daughter in the future. Therefore, when Zhao Xuan wanted to use her to coerce Li'er, Yan Chen used the trick and poisoned him.

Take away Zhao Xuan, a father who is inferior to the beast, forever. This is what she, as a mother, can do for her daughter in the end.

Thinking that in the days to come, her daughter would never have to face Zhao Xuan again, Yan Chen felt that everything was worth it.

Li'er, her daughter...

I hope she will be happy and peaceful for the rest of her life. I also hope that she will be reborn in a good family in the next life, with a kind father and a kind mother, she will be comfortable and worry-free, and will never experience the sufferings of this life again.

With the last expectation, Yan Chen's consciousness began to blur, and a drop of scarlet tears slid from the corner of his eyes...

boom!

With a loud bang, the stone door was suddenly broken.

With a sudden sound, Zhao Xuan narrowed his eyes, turned his eyes and looked at Yan Chen, and his eyes were cold. When he was young, his hands that held her neck loosened!

Maybe, she is not yet dead.

If she keeps this breath, she might be able to use it as a bargaining chip. After all, Yan Li has found it, right? This proves that she still cares about Yan Chen, the mother.

The stone gate fell, and the dust filled the sky, and the scene inside the cave was blurred for a moment. When the dust gradually dissipated, everything in front of him became clear, Wu'an and Wu You's face changed immediately.

Outside the cave, listening to the faint sound, I expected that Yan Chen's condition would not be good. However, I didn't expect that it would reach such a level...

The ragged clothes, the bloodstains on their bodies, and the... ruined eyes, and the scarlet face!

Zhao Xuan destroyed Yan Chen's eyes?!

Wu You looked at her, her face tightened, and she turned to look at Yan Li. She saw that Yan Li seemed to be calm. However, her trembling hands revealed her mood at this moment.

"It's really time for Princess Yi'an to come!" Zhao Xuan grabbed Yan Chen's neck, and stood behind Yan Chen, using Yan Chen as a shield, completely holding the person hostage.

"Mr. Zhao has something to say."

"I want to say it well. But, in the current situation, I'm afraid the princess is no longer willing to talk to her friends about good things! After all, the princess had even done anything to kill her father before."

"I was young and ignorant at that time, so I hope Lord Zhao will not be accustomed to it." Yan Li looked at Zhao Xuan and said calmly, "I came here this time just to save my mother. As long as Lord Zhao can let my mother go, everything will be fine."

"Haha..." Zhao Xuan sneered, "Is the princess treating me like a fool? If I let Yan Chen go at this time, wouldn't it be like sending myself to death?"

"Mr. Zhao is too worried! If you let my mother go, can I be your hostage?"

"Haha, with the princess's skills, I don't want to take that risk."

If Yan Li is a hostage, maybe he will be captured before he meets anyone.

Yan Li heard this and said, "I know some skills. However, Lord Zhao may not know that I am happy now, and I will never fist and kick for the sake of my child. So, Lord Zhao can take me as a hostage."

After hearing the words, Zhao Xuan stared at Yan Li’s belly. Why did he forget this?

Yan Li had something happy, and he also heard about it when he sneaked into the capital.

"My mother is in a bad situation now, so I will delay it. If there is a mistake, Lord Zhao, you can't get anything. In this way, why not give it a try when things are turning around?"

Yan Li said calmly, "Let me be your hostage. At that time, it is not just my mother, but also King Yi'an will compromise for my offspring. At that time, Lord Zhao will definitely get everything you want."

Yan Li said this, and the Sixth Prince, who was standing quietly outside the cave, couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Fourth Master.

I won’t say whether Yan Li has a child in her belly. However, Yan Li’s approach of using his offspring as a hostage at this time also made someone feel very upset!

Even though Yan Li does this, there is a reason for things and it is understandable. But so what? It still cannot make people feel relieved.

Including the reason why Yan Li refused to let the Fourth Master enter the cave...

[Don’t follow me, wait outside!]

[If you follow me in, what if Zhao Xuan releases my mother’s condition is to let me attack you. At that time... I don’t want to make a choice before you and my mother.]

I don’t want to choose between Mo Chang and Yan Chen, that means that the fourth master is not more important than Yan Chen. That is why she feels embarrassed.

If Yan Li only has Mo Chang in her heart, then what else can we make for difficulties!

The Sixth Prince thought, when the Fourth Master looked at him, he inadvertently looked away. He did not want to look at Mo Chang, and was worried that the sympathy in his eyes would be seen by Mo Chang.

He was just an innocent onlooker and didn't want to be irritated by Mo Chang.

When Zhao Xuan heard this, he looked at Yan Li with inquiry and suspicion in his eyes, "I really didn't expect that the princess was such a filial person?"

"Isn't this what Lord Zhao wants to see the most? Only when I am filial will I be coerced by you and you can achieve what I want!"

Zhao Xuan nodded, "You are right! But it's no point in saying it! I always have to confirm whether the princess is truly filial or false filial." As he said that, he kicked the sword at his feet to Yan Li, "Unless the princess cut off her arm. That way, I can tell what the princess said is true."

Only when Yan Li cut off her arm, Zhao Xuan could be sure that her skills would not hurt her again. Only when Yan Li cut off her arm and became a disabled person can King Yi'an quickly dislike her. Including the children in her belly, they may also be lost because of this!

A person who has lost his favor from King Yi'an and his children, his Taifu Mansion, and Zhao Xuan has no fear.

After hearing this, Yan Li glanced at the sword at her feet. She bent down slowly and reached out to pick it up, "Since it is Lord Zhao's request, I dare not disobey it." As she said that, in Zhao Xuan's eyes, the sword raised...

Yan Li raised his sword in his hand, and the person at the door flashed in, and everyone thought that the person who had passed out suddenly moved...

Using his body that had already been filled with thousands of holes, he tried his best to lift his head and hit him hard at the back.

"Um..." Zhao Xuan screamed in pain, and even realized that he had been kicked out.

"mother!"

Yan Chen felt that someone had loosened himself and put him down. He faintly heard someone calling him in his ear. Although it was not true, she knew that it was her daughter!

"Lier..."

"Yeah." Yan Li responded, took out a pill from her sleeve and put it into Yan Chen's mouth, and kept wiping the scarlet blood that spilled out of the corner of her mouth.

"Li'er..." Yan Chen shouted, raising his hand with difficulty and groping.

Yan Li reached out and held her hand, "I'm fine, not injured."

Yan Chen heard this, relaxed and said, "Li'er, you shouldn't have come. I don't want you to see these!" As he said that, he pulled the corner of his mouth, "I don't want you to see these in my heart, but I'm still very happy to know that you are coming. Before I die, I really have no regrets if I can see you again!"
