The third prince gave the order, and several guards were about to capture Kang Yanning, when suddenly another burst of horse hooves sounded.
"Here!" Huo Yan and Huo Hua saw the third prince in the middle of the crowd from a distance. They looked at each other and thought about it. They immediately stepped forward and surrounded the third prince.
When the third prince saw that the visitors were the Huo brothers, he immediately had an ominous premonition.
He frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
Huo Yan had an official position in the court, handling external affairs for the prince, and had many dealings with the third prince.
Huo Yan led the crowd and said, "I pay my respects to the third prince."
Without waiting for the third prince's reaction, he stood up and said, "Third prince, under the orders of the prince, I came to look for Miss Kang. Have you seen her?"
The third prince and Ye Feiwei looked at each other and knew that it was completely impossible to do it at this time today.
Ye Feiwei weighed the current scene and decisively chose to dock the gecko's tail. She shook her head and took a step forward and said, "Feiwei and I got separated. Now I'm here to look for Feiwei. I just got here and haven't searched yet."
"I'm here."
Kang Yanning's voice reached everyone's ears from inside the cave. The third prince's eyes darkened, thinking about how to kill someone and silence them.
Ye Feiwei walked into the cave and said, "Yan Ning, it turns out you are here. I am very worried about you."
When they met the Huo brothers, Diao Qi, who was with them, immediately stepped forward and put the knife in Ye Feiwei's chest.
The third prince's men were not slow in their actions and pointed their swords at Diao Qi's neck.
The third prince turned around and glared at the Huo brothers, asking angrily, "What do you mean?"
Huo Yan stepped forward, pushed away the sword that the third prince pointed at Diao Qi's neck, and pressed the sword that Diao Qi placed on Ye Feiwei's chest.
With a smile, he said, "The third prince is the younger brother of His Highness the Crown Prince, and Miss Kang is the crown prince who was commissioned by the Holy Emperor. We are a family. What are you doing?"
"What?" the third prince asked sharply, "What princess? Why didn't I know."
"This..." Huo Yan pretended to be surprised, "The third prince doesn't know about this?"
"At this morning's court meeting, the Holy Father announced that Miss Kang Yanning will be crowned Crown Princess."
He pointedly said, "This is Brother Diao, a guard of the Kang family. I heard that Miss Kang got lost on the mountain today, and His Highness the Crown Prince sent us to look for her. Since Miss Kang is also here, I believe His Highness the Third Prince will not stop her."
Bar."
On this day, not only did she expose herself, but she also failed to achieve her goal of getting rid of Kang Yanning. She also learned that Kang Yanning had been granted the position of Crown Princess by the Holy Emperor, which made Ye Feiwei quite angry.
After today, I'm afraid there won't be such a good opportunity.
Ye Feiwei didn't want to retreat, the third prince didn't want to retreat, and Diao Qi was even more unwilling to retreat.
Seeing that the third prince insisted on this, Huo Yan winked at Huo Hua, who sent people to surround Ye Feiwei.
"How brave!" The third prince became even more angry when he saw that Huo Yan didn't take him seriously. "Your Huo family has already turned against the prince."
Huo Yan cupped his hands and said, "Third prince, please forgive me. I, the third generation of the Huo family, have been ordered by the late emperor to assist the king. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is the Crown Prince. Naturally, our Huo family has the Crown Prince as our right hand."
The prince's order is to bring back Miss Kang's family. If the third prince insists on refusing to give in, then Huo will have no choice but to offend him. After completing the prince's order, Huo will come to the door in person to plead guilty."
"Ha." The third prince heard this and gritted his teeth with hatred. Wasn't this just a roundabout way of saying that he was just a prince.
But there was nothing he could do. He couldn't let them take Kang Yanning back. This situation was caused by Kang Yanning. Besides, now that Kang Yanning also knew their plan, if she was allowed to go back.
Whether the Holy Emperor or the Kang family knows, it will be a fatal blow to the third prince and his party.
So today, the third prince never prepared for Kang Yanning to return home alive.
But now... He glanced at the Huo family. These two people were court officials and members of the Huo family, and they also had many people behind them.
The third prince became embarrassed.
Huo Yan couldn't just take the third prince down and pick him up in the cave. His Highness the Crown Prince was not here. After all, Huo Yan was his minister. If the Crown Prince persisted, he would not be able to offend him.
The two parties were in a stalemate. Kang Yanning touched the wound of Wei Jialing, who was still unconscious, and could not wait any longer. Wei Jialing still had a slight fever and had not woken up yet.
Wei Jialing's body has been weak due to coughing and asthma since he was a child. Finally, he continued to use the medicine Duan Kangyan gave Ning, and his body became better. If this incident caused the disease again, Kang Yanning would regret it for the rest of his life.
The third prince and Ye Feiwei can deal with it slowly, but the prince must be treated as soon as possible. After thinking about this, Kang Yanning said decisively
"Feiwei, why are you here? I met a wild wolf just now. Fortunately, I found the cave and escaped."
Ye Feiwei was startled. This was Kang Yanning giving in again. She was telling everyone that she would not pursue today's matter again, nor would she expose them.
The third prince was about to say something else, but Ye Feiwei pulled him and the third prince shut up.
The Huo family obviously knew everything, and if the confrontation really continued, it would be even more detrimental to themselves. The third prince was the biological son of the Holy Emperor, so naturally he would not be implicated in anything, but he... couldn't say for sure.
This is probably the best ending so far.
Ye Feiwei smiled and said, "Yan Ning, don't be afraid, your guards are here."
She pulled the third prince back and made way for the entrance of the cave. "Master Huo, please."
Huo Yan and the third prince handed over their hands and said, "Thank you, the third prince, for asking Xie for convenience."
Diao Qi and Huo Hua immediately ducked into the cave and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Kang Yanning was fine.
Kang Yanning put her fingers gently on her hand, said silently, pointed at Wei Jialing beside her, and waved her hand.
The two of them were stunned, and Huo Hua stepped forward nervously, and with trembling hands, he felt the prince's breath.
The prince was fine, Huo Hua was relieved.
Kang Yanning ordered in a low voice, "Don't let the third prince and his entourage know about the prince's affairs."
Huo Hua nodded immediately. The third prince only thought that Kang Yanning was the only person inside, and since no one else was involved, he could let it go.
If you knew there was a prince inside, the meaning would be different.
The third prince would not plead guilty to the crime of murdering the prince, for fear that he would jump over the wall in a hurry, seize this opportunity, and do something crazy.
Unable to let the third prince and Ye Feiwei notice anything, Kang Yanning handed Wei Jialing over to Huo Hua, and she took Diao Qi out first.
It was obviously today, but it seemed to Kang Yanning that a century had passed.
After walking out of the cave, the sky was getting dark. Kang Yanning stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at Ye Feiwei from a distance. Reflecting the darkening night, it seemed like a storm was coming.
Ye Feiwei glanced behind her, and only Diao Qi came out. She smiled and said, "Yan Ning is so lucky. Feiwei wishes Yan Ning that she will have such good luck in the future."
Kang Yanning noticed the look in her eyes and calmly raised the corner of her mouth, "Then I'll thank Fei Wei first."
The two of them said no more, and finally looked at each other from afar, lowering their eyes at the same time.
Ye Feiwei stopped thinking about it. At this moment, she had some indescribable emotions. She knew in her heart that the friendship between the two was broken here.
It doesn't matter, you don't need these, right?
Ye Feiwei turned around and walked down the mountain.
She did not look back, but straightened her back as she looked at her back, looking more proud. Some of her words were gradually blown away by the west wind, "I had a good time today, so I'll see you later."
Kang Yanning looked at her retreating figure and breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know if Ye Feiwei noticed anything was wrong.
Then he thought of this woman again, and Kang Yanning felt a little heavier.
This was Ye Feiwei, her heartfelt friend for both Kang Yanning's two lives, but she turned out to be the person behind everything?
Kang Yanning didn't know why she did this. Maybe it was because of her family, maybe because of her power. Maybe it would only be known if one of them died.
Kang Yanning didn't know why, but she didn't and couldn't resent Ye Feiwei.
There was no anger towards her friend's betrayal, nor even that much hatred towards the third prince. There was only deep helplessness and sadness as to whether she was unworthy of true friendship.
Kang Yanning felt depressed for a moment, and then comforted herself like Xiaoqiang who couldn't be defeated.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I've found the person who really harmed my family. I won't keep any of these people when I'm wronged.
Next time we meet, I will leave no room for you, Ye Feiwei.
The third prince stepped forward and glanced at Kang Yanning gloomily, "You'd better live well, I will skin you alive with my own hands."
Kang Yanning didn't have as complicated a mood towards the third prince as Ye Feiwei. She rolled her eyes and said, "What a pervert."
"You!" The third prince was furious.
Diao Qi immediately stepped forward and put the handle of the knife against the third prince's back.
"Oh, just wait!" The third prince suffered too much frustration from her and didn't want to look at her again, so he turned around and left.
After waiting for a while, the third prince's people were completely gone. Kang Yanning hurried back to the cave and saw Huo Hua checking Wei Jialing's injuries, and couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
At this time, Huo Yan saw that Huo Hua was still not coming out and realized something was wrong. He entered the cave and saw that the prince had suffered a lot of injuries. He quickly asked, "What's wrong with your highness?"
Kang Yanning explained, "The prince was cut by a wolf's claw in order to protect me, and then he developed a high fever. I kept applying ice packs to him to bring it down."
Huo Hua also said, "We need to send him back to the palace quickly and let the imperial doctor examine him. The prince is weak, so we don't want to leave any symptoms."
"If the prince returns to the palace like this..." Huo Yan is a little worried. The prince is the crown prince of the country. If he returns to the palace injured like this and others find out, he is afraid that someone with evil intentions will take advantage of him.
"That's it." Kang Yanning said decisively, "Send the prince back to Kang's house secretly. I will report to the emperor that he was frightened today and asked the imperial doctor to come to my house. You can arrange for the prince's doctor to come to my house. I will wait for you."
"
At the moment, this arrangement is the most appropriate and safe. Huo Yan and Huo Hua both raised their hands and expressed gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, "Huo Yan (Huo Hua) thanks the princess."
Seeing that the prince's arrangements were in place, Kang Yanning breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly made up her mind that in this life, she must bring them down, and no one can let her suffer such a big loss again.
