The Western Liang Palace seemed to be shrouded in white. From a distance, it looked like an ice sculpture. The sunlight refracted colorful colors, making it look sacred and spectacular. Ye Zhen felt that she would appreciate such a beautiful scene if she was not surrounded by the minions of the priest hall.
"You guys stay away." Huang Fuchen said lightly to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming glanced at them and motioned for the others to take a few steps back and follow them at a distance.
Ye Zhen smiled. "Qi Ruoshui is still very afraid of you."
Huang Fuchen looked up at the palace in the distance. "She is just afraid of my surname."
"Have you seen Xi 'er?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Qi Ruoshui promised to let him stay with me." Huang Fuchen said lightly, "Xi 'er doesn't know his life yet. Qi Ruoshui promised to hide it from him."
It was best for him to keep Qi Zixi's identity a secret.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Master, can you help me with one thing?"
Huang Fuchen listened to her polite and nervous question and felt a bitter taste in his heart. "What is it?"
"It will be dangerous for Shanshan to stay here. Can you send her away first?" Ye Zhen whispered.
Jin Shanshan, who was walking beside Ye Zhen, frowned when he heard this. "Your Highness …"
Ye Zhen raised her hand to stop Jin Shanshan from saying anything more. She continued to say to Huang Fuchen, "If Shanshan stays here, Qi Ruoshui will use her safety to threaten me. If she leaves here, I will be more relaxed."
Huang Fuchen glanced at Jin Shanshan lightly. "Qi Ruoshui arranged a lot of people around me, unless it is good for her."
"That's true. She seems to be more guarded against you." Ye Zhen sighed with a bitter smile. If Huang Fuchen could let Jin Shanshan leave, then he could leave here himself.
"I heard that the Left Protector of the Priest Hall was captured by General Ye." Huang Fuchen asked.
"If Liu Chen hasn't come back yet, he should have been captured." Ye Zhen said.
Huang Fuchen nodded gently. "Qi Ruoshui values her two protectors very much. If you want her to release Jin Shanshan, you must let Liu Chen come back."
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded without hesitation. She knew that Wu Ming could hear what she said to Huang Fuchen. She deliberately let him know.
"What's in front?" Huangfu Chen pointed at a palace that looked like a cage.
Yes, it looked like a palace from afar, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed a cage. A very large cage, with a thick layer of ice and snow covering it. The ice and snow hung down, emitting a sparkling luster under the sunlight.
"This is the palace's prison. It's used to detain the princes and nobles who have committed crimes," Wu Ming said lightly from behind them.
Ye Zhen looked at him in surprise. Wasn't it too humiliating for the princes to be locked up in this place?
"There's someone inside," Jin Shanshan exclaimed.
Ye Zhen looked over in surprise. Sure enough, there was a dark shadow in dark blue clothes in the cage. The dark shadow was motionless like a sculpture. She didn't know if it was dead or frozen.
"Who is that?" Ye Zhen had a bad feeling in her heart.
Nameless said calmly, "A prince who wants to rebel."
Ye Zhen approached the cage and looked at the man carefully through the bars. The frosty face could only be seen from the side. She took a deep breath. "Wanyan Xi … He is Wanyan Xi!"
"Wanyan Xi killed his mother and brother in an attempt to force the abdication of the throne. The Witch King has already shown mercy by locking him here."
"Bullshit!" Ye Zhen tried hard not to curse out loud. Wanyan Xi was framed by Qi Ruoshui. No wonder Qi Ruoshui hadn't been seen for a few days. She was afraid that he was dealing with Wanyan Xi.
Huangfu Chen said coldly, "It's better to kill him than to lock him here."
Nameless sneered, "Mr. Huangfu should talk to the Witch King."
"Open the door. I want to see him." Ye Zhen looked at Nameless coldly.
"No one can go in without the permission of the Witch King." Nameless didn't even look at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen snorted coldly, "I remember the Witch King said that I can grant any request. This is the Witch King's promise. It seems that he has no credibility at all."
Huangfu Chen saw Ye Zhen's angry expression. It seemed that she knew Wanyan Xi. He said faintly to Nameless, "That man looks dead. Even if you open the door and let us in, he can't run away."
"No one can open this prison without the permission of the Witch King." Nameless was unmoved.
Ye Zhen said coldly, "Open the door!"
Nameless looked at Ye Zhen indifferently.
"Shanshan!" Ye Zhen stood in front of Nameless and called out to Jin Shanshan.
Jin Shanshan walked to the door of the prison with a cold expression. The iron door was locked with a very thick iron chain. If she wanted to open the door, she had to get the key to open the lock. She grabbed the iron chain and pulled it hard under Wu Ming's cold and stern gaze.
Someone let out a cry of alarm.
The iron chain was broken by Jin Shanshan, and the door of the prison opened.
Ye Zhen smiled, "It seems that you are not needed."
Nameless looked at Jin Shanshan coldly, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"If you dare to hurt her, I promise that Qi Ruoshui will regret letting you follow her today." Ye Zhen said coldly.
"Let them in." No one knew when Qi Ruoshui arrived. She was wrapped in a mink fur cloak and walked over slowly. She looked at Huangfu Chen and Ye Zhen with a smile. "As the Empress said, Wanyan Xi is almost dead. Even if he is released, he will not live for more than a few days."
Nameless took a few steps aside and did not stop Ye Zhen anymore.
Ye Zhen ignored Qi Ruoshui and turned into the prison with Jin Shanshan. Huangfu Chen stood by the door and looked at Qi Ruoshui indifferently.
Qi Ruoshui came to him with a smile. "Wanyan Xi killed his biological mother and colluded with a sinner to rebel a while ago. If I don't do this, there will be civil strife in Western Liang."
"I thought there was already civil strife." Huangfu Chen said lightly.
"As long as I am here, there will never be civil strife in Western Liang." Qi Ruoshui said confidently, "You see, Western Liang is much more powerful than before. Have you ever experienced the feeling of being at the top and being able to control the clouds with your left hand and rain with your right? Watching the country go further and further under your leadership, this sense of accomplishment is not easy to obtain. Ah Chen, are you not tempted at all?"
Huangfu Chen glanced at her with a chuckle. "It seems that the person who is tempted is you."
"I am doing this for your Huangfu family." Qi Ruoshui said.
"This is just an excuse you find for yourself." Huangfu Chen looked at her sarcastically. "Admit it, Qi Ruoshui. You are not doing this for my uncle, but for yourself. Qiluan did not teach you other skills, but she has raised you into an ambitious person."
Qi Ruoshui did not hear what Huangfu Chen said. Her attention was attracted by Ye Zhen in the prison.
She was saving Wanyan Xi.
