"Let go... cough cough cough... let go... I didn't!" Ming Yueying struggled in fear.
Xingren also endured the pain in her abdomen and rushed over, hugging the prince's arm tightly: "Your Highness, please calm down!"
With Xing Xing's pounce, Shangguan Zhou loosened his hand slightly, and Ming Yueying had a chance to breathe, turned around and ran out of the hall as hard as she could.
"Bitch, how dare you run away!" Shangguan Zhou's eyes turned red, thinking that her sweet words and submissiveness to him were all just to deceive him!
He couldn't bear it any longer! Shangguan Zhou furiously kicked the almond aside again.
Xingren was kicked so hard that he screamed: "Ah!"
Shangguan Zhou immediately pulled out his sword and chased Ming Yueying.
Seeing this, Ming Yueying panicked and rushed toward the door of the East Palace, holding up her skirt.
She escaped hastily and suddenly. The maids and eunuchs in the East Palace didn't know what happened, but Ming Yueying actually broke into the palace gate.
Ming Yueying gritted her teeth and shouted to the young eunuch guarding the palace door: "Open the door, I have something important to see your Majesty!"
Although the East Palace was surrounded by the Forbidden Army, breaking out would be a violation of the imperial edict, but if she did not get out, she would definitely die!
The little eunuchs didn't know why, they only knew that Ming Yueying was the princess, so they obediently prepared to open the palace door.
Eunuch Tang, who was beside Shangguan Zhou, hurriedly chased him out. When he saw this, he immediately shouted: "Take the Crown Princess! Never let her leave the palace!"
He gave the order, and when the eunuchs guarding the palace gate heard the words and saw the prince coming with his sword, they quickly continued to close the palace door.
Someone else came up and held down the struggling Ming Yueying.
Ming Yueying was forced to kneel on the ground, looking desperately as Shangguan Zhou walked up to her with a sword in hand and ferocious eyes.
"Bitch, run, keep running!" Shangguan Zhou kicked her several times angrily.
Ming Yueying screamed in pain: "Ah ah ah - Shangguan Zhou, you beast, if you have the ability, kill me right here in public!"
Shangguan Zhou froze, and Eunuch Tang quickly stepped forward to hold his arm: "Your Highness, please calm down! The Crown Princess has lost her mind and gone crazy. You can hit her, punish her, or close the door, whatever you want."
This princess can be deposed or killed, but she cannot be killed or deposed in public!
Shangguan Zhou raised Ming Yueying's chin with his sword and sneered: "How can I be willing to kill you? Princess, you are so in line with my wishes."
He suddenly knelt down and whispered in her ear -
"Of course, after closing the door, I'll kill you for betraying me, you bitch. Don't worry, I won't let you die so happily!"
Ming Yueying looked at his crimson twisted eyes and fell completely into despair.
"Someone, drag her back!" the prince said sternly.
Ming Yueying struggled with fear and strength: "No!"
At this moment, the door of the East Palace was suddenly kicked open - "Stop!"
Everyone looked at the door and saw a tall figure wearing Forbidden Light Armor and carrying a long sword, leading the Forbidden Army soldiers in.
It is none other than the commander of the Imperial Army - Mu Qingshu!
"Commander Mu, what are you doing by breaking into the East Palace without permission?" Shangguan Zhou said sarcastically.
Mu Qingshu looked at the woman being dragged on the ground with wounds all over her body, and frowned: "Your Highness, what did the Crown Princess do to deserve such abuse?"
"How can this be abuse? This is just a fun game played by the Crown Princess and me, the pleasure of the boudoir. Why does Commander Mu have to control it?"
Shangguan Zhou sneered, and then stared at Ming Yueying sinisterly: "Isn't that right, my beloved concubine?"
Ming Yueying trembled all over and her lips trembled.
Mu Qingshu looked at Ming Yueying and raised his eyebrows: "Crown Princess?"
If the princess was helpless, he couldn't help her.
Ming Yueying suddenly lowered her head and bit the arm of the eunuch who was holding her hostage, while the eunuch screamed in pain!
She suddenly rushed in the direction of Mu Qingshu: "No, Your Highness, he wants to kill me! Help me!"
Shangguan Zhou was stunned and said sternly: "Catch her, the princess is crazy and talking nonsense!"
But Mu Qingshu moved faster. He turned over on his tiptoes and jumped up, pulling Ming Yueying behind him.
He drew out his long sword and stood in front of the eunuch and Ming Yueying who were rushing to catch Ming Yueying!
"Stop!" Mu Qingshu shouted sharply.
He is not blind, and the princess is already so thin and miserable that she has obviously suffered inhuman abuse!
The rest of the Imperial Guard also stepped forward and glared angrily.
The eunuchs in the East Palace were immediately startled and stepped back one after another.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Zhou suddenly separated from everyone and walked out with a sneer: "Haha, it's really a tiger being bullied by a dog. I was only temporarily imprisoned, not deposed. What reason and identity do you, the commander of the Imperial Guard, have to interfere with my East Palace affairs?
!”
Mu Qingshu frowned: "The Crown Princess has three matchmakers and six hires. The future queen was brought in from the eight-carriage sedan chair of the Zhuque Gate. Since she has not been deposed, how can His Highness abuse the Crown Princess at every turn?"
"Who said Gu abused her!" Shangguan Zhou sneered.
"It's strange to say that you, a commander of the imperial army, suddenly came to the East Palace just because of the Crown Princess? I remember that you had no interaction with the Crown Princess before."
Mu Qingshu looked at Shangguan Zhou warily: "My subordinates heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was abusing the Crown Princess from time to time in the palace, so I came to check!"
The prince narrowed his eyes dangerously and sinisterly: "Really? I found out that the princess was involved in an outsider before, so I tortured her. Now you come to the rescue. Could it be that you are the adulterer that the princess hooked up with?"
When Mu Qingshu heard this, his face suddenly turned red and he said sternly: "Your Highness, stop talking nonsense! That's nonsense!"
"Commander Mu!" The prince interrupted him maliciously——
"People's words are terrible. If you take the Crown Princess away from Gu, Gu will be convinced that you seduced the Crown Princess and report this matter to the Emperor. Do you think you can still be the commander of the Forbidden Army?"
"You——!" Mu Qingshu realized for the first time that the gentle and handsome prince in front of him was such a shameless person!
Even if His Majesty the Emperor finds out that this incident is false, he can no longer serve as the commander of the Forbidden Army due to his reputation!
A cold smile appeared on the prince's face, and he stretched out his hand towards Ming Yueying: "So, if Ming Yueying is handed over to Gu, Gu will naturally have no reason to complain to the father. A woman who has nothing to do with you, why do you care about her life and death?
?”
Mu Qingshu and the Forbidden Army soldiers turned blue with anger.
Is this actually the prince they will be loyal to in the future?
No, this is obviously an animal!
Mu Qingshu said solemnly: "No, I will not hand over the crown princess to you!"
He couldn't turn a blind eye to the dying and weak woman's cry for help and push her back to the villain!
"Mu Qingshu! You dare to disobey Ni Gu, do you really don't want to do it?" The prince's expression became extremely ferocious.
These bitches really dared to step on his head when they saw how miserable he was!
Ming Yueying, who was hiding behind Mu Qingshu, trembled...
This is the second time someone has protected her without hesitation. The first time was the man she once loved deeply but had already died on the border - Major General Mu Qingyu.
He is Mu Qingshu’s brother!
Ming Yueying lowered her eyelashes, stood up suddenly, pushed Mu Qingshu's arm away, walked out, and said coldly: "Your Highness, there is no need to threaten other unrelated people with me!"
"Then why don't you get over here!" the prince said in a sinister voice.
"Princess?!" Seeing this, Mu Qingshu frowned and wanted to stop her.
Ming Yueying had already thrown away his hand and walked between Mu Qingshu and the prince. The prince glanced at Mu Qingshu proudly and was about to pull her over.
But Ming Yueying looked at the prince coldly: "Shangguan Zhou, you are insidious, cruel, shameless, cruel, and narrow-minded. You sent someone to assassinate the queen in the palace and committed rebellious things!"
"In terms of personal ethics, he has been constantly abusing me, my first wife. I am not worthy of being the crown prince at all, let alone inheriting the throne!"
"Ming Yueying, how dare you be so presumptuous!" The prince's face suddenly twisted.
Ming Yueying sneered: "Even if I die here today, I will not go back with you and continue to be abused by you!"
After saying that, she suddenly took out a small bottle from her sleeve, raised her head and drank the medicine inside in one gulp!
"Princess!" Shangguan Zhou noticed something was wrong, but was unable to stop her. He only pulled her sleeve.
In full view of everyone, Ming Yueying spit out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it in Shangguan Zhou's face, and then fell down softly.
"Ming Yueying!" Shangguan Zhou was stunned and looked at the woman in his arms.
He didn't expect that she would actually die like this in front of him! After all, he thought that she would die in his hands...
Just now, when he knew that she had betrayed him, he even really wanted to kill her!
Ming Yueying looked at him weakly and hatefully and smiled: "You beast... I'm finally free. I... hate you. I shouldn't have entered the palace in the first place! I... never have to go back to this place of eating people.
Already..."
After saying that, blood continued to flow from the corners of her lips, she closed her eyes in his arms, and lost her breath.
"Crown Princess...Second Young Lady!" Xingren staggered over and saw Ming Yueying's body, sobbing loudly.
The Crown Princess actually died in front of everyone?! The entire East Palace was shocked.
Seeing this, Mu Qingshu took a deep breath and said sternly: "Come here, take the body of the Crown Princess away. I will report to Your Majesty everything that happened today!"
"Mu Qingshu!" The prince raised his head and stared at Mu Qingshu with splitting eyes.
First a queen died, and now a crown prince died. The latter was almost forced to death by the prince in full public view.
Even if the princess is semi-abandoned and the emperor doesn't want to see her, she is still the princess on the royal jade plate!
No matter what my father does, he can't save him!
Mu Qingshu stepped forward, pushed Shangguan Zhou away indifferently, leaned down to pick up Ming Yueying's body, turned and left
——"We have sealed the gate of the East Palace under the emperor's order. Anyone who dares to go out from here will be killed without mercy!"
A group of Forbidden Army soldiers also stood in front of the Crown Prince and the people in the East Palace.
Facing the Forbidden Army soldiers wearing armor and holding swords with murderous intent, the prince could only wipe the blood from his face unwillingly and angrily, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked away.
"hateful!"
I don't know why, but seeing Ming Yueying die in his arms, the prince felt vaguely depressed and sad in his heart.
This must be his illusion!
definitely is!
…
A carriage, escorted by more than a dozen guards, had left the capital and was running on a path in the forest.
Ms. Qin, who had been tied up and placed in the car, suddenly started to struggle. "Let me go!"
Aunt Chang and another maid quickly held her down and urged her: "Madam, we are already far away from the capital. If we walk for another day, we will reach the Dingzhou River. Don't make any more trouble."
Mrs. Qin gritted her teeth and said, "I feel panicked. I don't know why, but I always feel like something is wrong!"
It's like something happened to someone!
Aunt Chang was helpless: "Madam, you have caused trouble several times along the way. Those guards are all the eldest lady's people. They want to kill you and me, and we have nowhere to escape."
That is to say, Madam may have been tired from traveling recently, so she has become increasingly sleepy and less noisy.
Mrs. Qin froze and said with a gloomy face: "I won't just give up when I go to the family temple. Go get me food and water. Didn't you say that you have prepared cooked bird's nests?"
Aunt Chang could only nod: "Yes."
The eldest lady treated them well along the way. The food was not as good as in the mansion, but the supplies were not bad either.
Grandma Chang got out of the car and asked the guard if she wanted something to eat. She said Mr. Qin wanted bird's nests to eat.
After hearing this, one of the guards turned around and rode his horse to find Zhaoyao, the leader of the guards who was walking at the rear.
Hearing this, Zhaoyao sneered: "You're really big on airs."
He motioned for someone to get a delicate bamboo tube containing a bird's nest, opened it, poured some white powder into it, and shook it gently.
After a while, the medicine melted into the bird's nest.
Zhaoyao himself rode his horse to Grandma Chang, handed the bamboo tube to Grandma Chang, and said coldly: "Eat sparingly, there is not room to stew bird's nests along the way."
Grandma Chang nodded and bowed: "Yes."
Zhaoyao looked at her and said calmly: "Take a good look at Mrs. Tan. The eldest lady will take good care of your children."
Aunt Chang trembled all over: "Yes!"
Grandma Chang got into the carriage with the bird's nest and waited on Mr. Qin to eat it in one bite.
Not long after Qin finished eating, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.
Zhaoyao then turned around and rode away, walking to the front of the team.
The guard on the side couldn't help but ask: "Miss, why don't you just let us kill that Tan with one blow? It would be too troublesome to keep drugging him all the way."
Zhaoyao said coldly: "What the eldest lady means is to make Mrs. Tan become a fool who knows nothing when she arrives at the Ming family ancestral temple. It's not to kill her. It's because Ji Neng has put an end to Mrs. Tan's evil thoughts and taken care of everything."
Miss Ming Er's affection."
A few months ago, he was not tricked by Qin Princess Zhou Changle, causing Master Xiaoxi to be kidnapped from him.
From then on, Chen Ning and Zhou Rugu all thought that he was young and insecure in his work, so they refused to let him go on missions.
This is the first time he has received a mission from the eldest lady, and he must handle it properly!
"yes!"
…
Ming Fei Mansion
"Miss, the news from the palace is that the Crown Princess is dead." Chunhe handed a letter to Ming Lanruo.
Ming Lanruo wiped her face, read the letter, and said calmly: "Yes, I understand. Commander Mu should know what to do next."
Chunhe sighed: "You have planned this for the second young lady and helped her fake her death and leave the palace, which is considered to be the most benevolent thing. But will she resent you for dealing with Mrs. Qin?"
Ming Lanruo chuckled softly: "Whether she holds a grudge or not has nothing to do with me. She earned it by herself when I rescued her from the palace confinement."
Ming Yueying had tried to kill Xiao Xi several times, but she could no longer treat Ming Yueying as a sister.
But for her father's sake, she can save Ming Yueying and give Ming Yueying a way to survive.
But Ming Yueying would become her enemy for the Tan family in the future, so she didn't mind sending her to reunite with the Tan family again.
