I had guessed the beginning, but not the ending. I knew that the Empress wouldn't be able to withstand the blow and would fall, but I forgot that with my current weak body, I wouldn't be able to support her weight.
/p
Fortunately, there was someone behind me. When I felt the back of my head hit a thick chest, my heart calmed down.
/p
I supported the Empress up, but I was so tired that my back was aching and my legs were cramping. I looked around and saw the servants who were standing like wooden blocks. I angrily said, "Do you servants have eyes or not? Why are you lowering your heads to the ground? Can gold and silver grow on the ground? Hurry up and help your mistress into the tent to rest. What are you doing standing here like a stick?"
/p
Only then did the servant girls react. They hurriedly took the Empress' body from me. As soon as I relaxed, I heard Prince Yue say to Hu daren, "Kidnapping the imperial heir is no small matter. If it is done, it will be a serious crime."
/p
I looked back and forth between the two people who were talking. Seeing that they were both hiding something, I didn't ask.
/p
Hu daren said, "This subject will immediately report to the Emperor."
/p
Prince Yue smiled and said, "Minister Hu is bowing for the country. This humble prince can't reach that level."
/p
Hu daren said, "Prince Yue, what are you talking about? However, the two self-proclaimed Saintesses of the Tang family are very clever. It is said that Guan Zhongsheng Village's secret techniques are the same as those of the Southwest Non-Human Tribe. After all, the Seventh Prince is a direct descendant of the Imperial Family of Da Qi. Now that he has fallen into their hands, I'm afraid the Imperial Family's face will be lost."
/p
Between a human life and the Imperial Family's face, Hu daren didn't hesitate to choose the latter.
/p
Prince Yue's eyes flashed. "The Imperial Family's face can't be lost in the hands of the traitors of Guan Zhongsheng Village. As such, I will have to trouble Hu daren to report to Imperial Father."
/p
"Of course." Hu Shangshu cupped his hands and glanced at Prince Yue. "Prince Yue is the one doing the hard work."
/p
The two of them bowed hypocritically, and then went their separate ways.
/p
Fortunately, there was no one else around. Prince Yue ordered his men to fetch weapons. I stared at him for some time. Then, narrowing my eyes, I asked, "Are we going to fight?"
/p
Prince Yue looked at me in surprise. "Yes."
/p
"Guan Zhongsheng Village?"
/p
"Yes."
/p
"You, and that minister with the handlebar mustache," I pointed to Hu daren, who happily ran to report to the Emperor, and asked, "You want to use this as an excuse to send troops to Guan Zhongsheng?"
/p
I didn't understand. The Emperor had just executed the Tang family in the name of treason. He didn't implicate Guan Zhongsheng, which meant that he was protecting the Emperor. In my opinion, these two people were using this as an excuse to force the Emperor to do something he didn't want to do!
/p
Who could force the Emperor? The people who dared to force the Emperor were all dead.
/p
I stomped my feet and scolded angrily, "Your Highness is muddle-headed." You shouldn't be a widow.
/p
Prince Yue laughed and poked my head. "I said you were a fool, but you didn't want to. Aren't you a fool now? You can't even see the twists and turns of the Imperial Court. How could I dare to let you stay three feet away from me, hm? "
/p
The raised tone of his voice made me feel embarrassed. Fortunately, my skin was thick enough that I couldn't see anything on my face.
/p
Prince Yue continued, "There were two reasons why Guan Zhongsheng wasn't implicated in the case just now. First, Old Madam Tang had already escaped and couldn't be held accountable. Second, the Tang Chengjue was used as a shield. Even if I said in the Imperial Court that the Tang Chengjue's secret technique originated from Guan Zhongsheng, Imperial Father didn't dare to casually punish me."
/p
I suddenly understood. "The Emperor understood long ago. It's one thing to execute the Tang family in a treason case, but Guan Zhongsheng can't be implicated. So, he sent the Seventh Prince to force them to be implicated?"
/p
Prince Yue smiled domineeringly. "They kidnapped a direct descendant of the Imperial Family. They can't escape this calamity."
/p
I felt disdain, and my heart trembled a bit. Using his own son as bait, he was quite ruthless. Old Madam Tang probably had no choice. If she didn't kidnap the Seventh Prince to force them to escape, she would probably be kneeling in the Imperial Court and questioning us. Kidnapping the Seventh Prince would only cause her to completely fall out with the Emperor.
/p
Since we're going to die either way, we might as well break the pot and smash it.
/p
Both outcomes were what the Emperor and Prince Yue wanted to see. No wonder they were in such a good mood.
/p
Prince Yue took the spear from the guard and weighed it in his hand. It seemed to be quite heavy. He turned to me and said, "Go back to the Imperial Court and rest. I've already set up a defense around you. You won't be injured like last time."
/p
I hugged his arm and said, "I don't believe you. I want to go with you!"
/p
Prince Yue reached out and hugged me tightly in an iron-like embrace. He looked at me with a burning gaze and asked, "Do you not believe me, or do you simply want to follow me?"
/p
His hot breath made my face red. I pushed him and said, "I want to follow you. I want to follow you, okay?" This petty man.
/p
Prince Yue laughed and said, "But I still don't want you to follow me."
/p
His iron-like arm slowly slid down. I quickly grabbed him and put him back on my waist. I glared at him and pretended to be angry. "Are you going to dump me?" Seeing that he was about to laugh again, I softened my voice and said, "I won't be a burden to you. Just trust me."
/p
Prince Yue looked at me for a while and sighed. "Okay." He tightened his grip.
/p
I was overjoyed and couldn't help but sigh in relief. I followed the Prince out of the tent and looked at the endless fields. I asked him, "How do we chase after them?"
/p
Suddenly, the Prince of Yue whistled lightly. A rusty red steed galloped over from the horizon. As it neared us, it raised its head to the sky and neighed. It stopped in time and lowered its huge head in a docile manner. Prince Yue walked forward and lovingly stroked the horse's beautiful mane. He looked back at me with a teasing smile and said, "Ride it and chase after them."
/p
At this time … I stomped my foot and angrily said, "Prince, don't joke around. Old Madam Tang's legs are nimble. Where did they go with the Seventh Prince? It doesn't matter if we ride a horse or walk, the important thing is where they went!"
/p
I was really anxious. Prince Yue had been tricked by Old Man Hu to take on this difficult task. If he brought the Seventh Prince back safely, it would be a great merit. If the Seventh Prince was careless and had a piece of his skin cut off by those reckless people, not only would it be difficult to explain to the Emperor, but it would also be difficult to explain to the Empress.
/p
If he was accused of plotting to kill the legitimate son of the Emperor and usurping the throne, that would be terrible!
/p
Prince Yue nimbly mounted the horse and extended his hand to me, "Get on!"
/p
I was fuming with anger, but I still stretched out my hand. I was forcefully pulled by Prince Yue, and I turned over and sat on the back of the horse.
/p
"When has your husband ever made a mistake?" Prince Yue chuckled and flicked the reins, "Jia!"
/p
I silently added in my heart. Even if he can't make a mistake, he can still be ruthless.
/p
This horse was a precious horse. Its hooves created wind as it galloped forward. It was unknown where it had found such a good seed. After galloping for about an hour, the precious horse refused to move forward. It directly stopped its hooves and looked around, as if it could not find the direction.
/p
I looked over Yue Wangye's shoulder. In front of me was a low mound. Although it was low, it was still a bit high compared to the high mountains. There was no guarantee that there would be a cave on top of it to hide in.
/p
I asked the Pepsi beside me, "Where is this?"
/p
"Concentric Lake."
/p
I nodded and praised, "That's a good name."
/p
Prince Yue carried me off the horse and stepped on the soft ground. It was more comfortable than the sheep's wool at home. I was quite happy that I had chased the thief to such a beautiful place. But when I glanced at Prince Yue, I saw a strange expression on his face. I quickly hid my happiness.
/p
"Running to this place …" Prince Yue muttered, "Running to this place …"
/p
Prince Yue rarely lost his composure. The most he lost was when he fought with me like a wolf or a tiger. It was rare to see him like this. He looked a little sad and didn't know what to do. I felt strange and asked him directly, "Is there something wrong with this place?"
/p
He looked at me and didn't know what to say. I was even more confused.
/p
Prince Yue suddenly said, "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and brought you here."
/p
I glanced at the steed, who was eating grass with its head lowered. The steed also glanced at me. It snorted twice, lowered its head, and came to me, begging to be pampered. I rubbed its big head and thought, Does Prince Yue want me to ride back?
/p
Prince Yue said, "Hong Quan likes you."
/p
I was puzzled and retorted, "Even if she likes me, I won't go back."
/p
Prince Yue smiled. "Since I brought you here, there's no reason to let you go back alone. I'm just worried. If my guess is correct, then the old lady of the Tang family is going to commit a crime! "
/p
Only the Great Qi's Old Ancestor had forbidden the secret technique. What kind of forbidden technique did it have to be to dare to go against the general consensus and not violate the general consensus!
/p
Prince Yue said, "Surrounded by mountains is a pool of Yin (harmonious) water. Old Lady Tang is determined to sacrifice her grandson."
/p
I was startled. My feelings for Tang Min were very complicated. I hoped that he would die, but I also hoped that he wouldn't die so quickly. Therefore, I was a little excited when I heard that Old Lady Tang wanted to kill Tang Min. I hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
/p
Prince Yue said, "If the Seventh Prince returns safely, will Guan Zhongsheng Village be punished?"
/p
I replied, "Guan Zhongsheng Village will definitely be punished. I'm afraid that the Emperor has already made his decision. The Seventh Prince's comfort is tied to Your Highness. Only Your Highness can bear the responsibility. "When I finished speaking, I felt a little distressed.
/p
Prince Yue smiled and said, "What if the Seventh Prince becomes a person of Guan Zhongsheng Village?"
/p
My eyes widened. I didn't understand what he meant.
/p
The Prince of Yue continued, "You might not understand if I put it this way, but if the Seventh Prince calls the Old Madam Tang 'grandmother', then he will cut off all ties with Guanzhong Sacred Village and deny the great crime of seizing the imperial heir, then what should you do?"
/p
My first reaction was that the Emperor's golden hat had grown green hair. But after thinking about it carefully and thinking about the secret technique, I thought in an even stranger direction.
/p
"Your Highness, are you saying that the Seventh Prince is still the Seventh Prince and his brain is Tang Min's?!"
/p
Prince Yue kept it a secret, but he nodded his head.
