When Li Jingnan heard that something happened in Tianlao, he suddenly stood up from his chair.
Zuo Yuhua also understood immediately.
The so-called trouble in Tianlao was nothing more than something happening to Hua Qingxue.
He stood up, bowed to Li Jingnan knowingly and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
"Well, let's go, let's go." Li Jingnan's mind was already all on the prison, and he didn't care about the issue of Zuo Xiang's departure.
After Zuo Xiang left, Li Jingnan immediately asked Chen Yuan: "What happened in Tianlao? What happened to Hua Qingxue?"
"The Queen Mother went to the Tianlao. It seems she wants to do something to Si Bing's wife!"
Li Jingnan gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves, and walked out.
…
In the jail, Hua Qingxue's head hurt more and more, her vision was blurred, and she wanted to say something. But because of the severe pain in his head, it was stuck in his throat.
Zheng Shuwen sat aside leisurely, with a slight smile on her lips, admiring Hua Qingxue's embarrassment at the moment.
She wanted to see how hard this Hua Qingxue's life was
A palace maid slowly walked out from the corner, picked up the whip with an expressionless face, stretched it out, and made a sharp crack.
"What are you waiting for? If you don't do anything, I will let you taste the taste of this whip later." Seeing Zheng Shuwen's expression a little irritable, Zi Wan urged the palace maid in front of her in a low voice.
The palace maid shrank, she didn't want to taste the whip soaked in salt water.
The palace maid did not dare to neglect, she raised her hand and raised the whip, as if to whip it down.
Hua Qingxue lowered her head, unable to resist anymore and could only let the whip fall on her body.
When the whip was about to fall, there was a sudden roar: "Stop! Stop everything!"
Everyone looked toward the door and saw Li Jingnan rushing over. His face was flushed and his breathing was rapid and disordered.
Zheng Shuwen's eyes suddenly turned sharp and she yelled at the palace maid: "Hit me! Beat me hard!"
"Stop it!" Li Jingnan came angrily, with suppressed anger in his black and white eyes.
The palace maid stopped in place for a moment. On one side was the emperor and on the other was the queen mother. Should they fight or not
"Chen Yuan, take that palace maid's whip away from me. I want to see who dares to do it." Li Jingnan shouted sternly.
"yes."
The palace maid was no match for Chen Yuan, and the whip instantly fell into Chen Yuan's hand.
The atmosphere in the prison instantly became tense.
Zheng Shuwen did not expect that Li Jingnan would be so angry, and Chen Yuan...
Her eyes darkened, and her face looked a little ugly.
"I'm sorry, Queen Mother." Chen Yuan curled his lips and threw the whip back into the barrel, splashing water.
"Chen Yuan, how dare you betray me!" Zheng Shuwen's voice was cold, the anger in her heart was rising, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palms.
Chen Yuan ignored Zheng Shuwen, but turned around and put Hua Qingxue down from the torture rack. Hua Qingxue was already soaked, and the cold temperature of the day made Hua Qingxue's lips turn purple. His body was limp and he was extremely weak.
When Li Jingnan saw this scene, he felt even more guilty towards Hua Qingxue, and his eyes were full of evil.
"Mother, what do you want to do today?" Li Jingnan exuded a cold aura, and his eyes were extremely cold.
And Zheng Shuwen is like a cat whose tail was stepped on and its hair exploded.
"Is this how the emperor talks to his mother?! I am your queen!" Zheng Shuwen's voice was sharp. When she saw Li Jingnan defending Hua Qingxue, she was furious!
"When did the queen ever treat me as her son?" Li Jingnan stared at her coldly, "Which mother in the world would lock up her son? And which mother would ignore the safety of her son for the sake of power?"
He spoke word by word, the look on his face became more and more indifferent, and his heart became more and more paralyzed.
The so-called relationship between mother and child is really a joke. It fell apart and became fragmented at some point.
Zheng Shuwen took half a step back in confusion, feeling panicked.
What's going on here
She is his biological mother, and everything she does is for him! How could he hold a grudge against himself? !
"Are you blaming me?" Zheng Shuwen didn't expect that Li Jingnan had such deep resentment against her. She defended, "Everything my mother does is for your own good!"
Li Jingnan said: "The queen is doing it for herself."
"After all, you are just angry at me because of Hua Qingxue!" Zheng Shuwen gritted her teeth, but in her heart she put all the fault on Hua Qingxue, and said angrily, "What kind of ecstasy soup did this woman fill you with?" ! She is a spy of Daliao! As the emperor, you did not torture her severely, but instead shielded her repeatedly, which really failed your father’s hopes for you!"
Li Jingnan didn't seem to hear anything, and just frowned to check Hua Qingxue's status, looking attentive.
Zheng Shuwen's body couldn't help but tremble.
Her son, the son she gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy, now doesn't even look at her!
"Your Majesty!" Zheng Shuwen pointed at Hua Qingxue and roared hysterically, "What is it about Hua Qingxue that makes you so partial?! What on earth is possessed by you!!!"
Li Jingnan looked at Zheng Shuwen and felt that she was unreasonable, "Just because she loves me, protects me, and is dedicated to me! She is the one who truly cares about me!"
"Your Majesty, Si Bing's wife is not doing well. She needs to be sent to the imperial doctor immediately." Chen Yuan reminded from the side.
Li Jingnan's expression changed. He stopped entangled with Zheng Shuwen and let Chen Yuan pick up Hua Qingxue and leave the prison.
Zheng Shuwen was on the spot, her eyes widened in shock, her body swayed, and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Zi Wan behind her supported the Queen Mother with sharp eyes.
"Queen Mother, are you okay?" Zi Wan looked at Zheng Shuwen worriedly.
Zheng Shuwen didn't speak, and her whole person was a little dull. She never thought that Li Jingnan would treat her like this...
…
He hurriedly took Hua Qingxue back to the palace.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Si Bing's clothes are soaked through." Chen Yuan hugged Hua Qingxue along the way. He was also soaked in water and felt cold.
"Come here!" Li Jingnan called the two palace maids.
The palace maid helped Hua Qingxue scrub her body and put on clean clothes.
Li Jingnan and Chen Yuan were anxiously running around outside.
"Chen Yuan, go out of the palace and call me Lu Zhengqing!" Li Jingnan thought about it and decided that it would be most appropriate for Lu Zhengqing to treat Hua Qingxue.
Firstly, Lu Zhengqing has been treating Hua Qingxue, and secondly, there are inevitably people from the Queen Mother's Party left in the hospital, so Li Jingnan is a little worried.
Hua Qingxue was dying, Chen Yuan did not dare to delay, turned around and went outside the palace.
…
Chen Yuan rode to Hua Qingxue's courtyard on horseback. It was already evening. He got off the horse, asked his guards to find a carriage, and then walked in.
Xi'er happened to run into Chen Yuan and recognized him at a glance as the person who had captured my wife. Her face changed and she said angrily: "You have already captured our wife, what are you doing here?!"
Chen Yuan didn't pay attention to Xi'er's anger and hostility and asked directly: "Where is Lu Zhengqing?"
"You took away our wife, and you want to take away our husband? Are you dreaming! I will never let you take away my wife again!" Xi'er angrily stopped in front of Chen Yuan, refusing to let him pass.
"Get out of the way!" Chen Yuan was anxious. If it weren't for Xi'er's young age, he would have wanted to slap her away.
However, Xi'er had a stubborn temper and still stood there motionless, "If you want to pass, you have to step over me!"
"I don't have time to make trouble with you. Let me tell you again, get out of the way!" Chen Yuan's face darkened and his tone became a little more serious.
"I will not let you take Master Lu away! You despicable and shameless villain! What crime has our wife committed? Are you going to take her away?!" Xi'er glared at Chen Yuan fiercely, without any trace of shame. To give in, whenever he thinks of how the person in front of him took Hua Qingxue away in the first place, he becomes extremely angry.
"Get her away!" Chen Yuan didn't want to tangle with Xi'er anymore, so he ordered the guards behind him.
"What are you doing? Let me go, let me go!" The guard stepped forward and pulled Xi'er aside. Xi'er was struggling with his hands clamped and kicked.
Chen Yuan didn't look at her anymore and walked straight into the courtyard. His main task now was to bring Lu Zhengqing back, so he couldn't waste a moment.
Xi'er looked at Chen Yuan's back as he walked further and further away. Her heart was in her throat. She was anxious. She couldn't let him take Master Lu away anymore. She had to find a way to report the news to Master Lu.
Thinking like this, Xi'er's eyes kept rolling. What should she think of
"Master Lu, you are back, please save me!" Xi'er called after the guard, with a look of joy on her face.
Seeing this, the guard turned around and looked around. Xi'er took the opportunity to break free and ran away quickly! —
She kept running, kept running, not daring to rest for a moment. Xi'er swore that this was the first time she had run so fast!
Lu Zhengqing was teasing the child with Luo Muyu at the moment. Luo Muyu's face was filled with a smile. There was nothing happier than having her husband by her side and her child.
"Master Lu! Master Lu!..." Xi'er ran in panting, her face turned red due to poor breathing.
"What's wrong? What happened, why are you running so fast?" Lu Zhengqing asked.
"Xi'er, please speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." Luo Muyu hugged the child and looked at Xi'er tenderly.
Xi'er gasped and said, "Master, do you still remember the person who captured my wife before?"
"Remember, what's wrong?" Lu Zhengqing frowned. He remembered that it was Chen Yuan who captured the wife, but he was not familiar with this person.
Lu Zhengqing looked at Xi'er in confusion, wondering why Xi'er mentioned this matter.
"He came to another courtyard with his guards again! And he's looking for you!" Xi'er was a little excited when she said it, and her voice was raised a lot, "Master, hide quickly! Don't let him find you!"
"What?" Luo Muyu looked horrified after hearing this, "Why do we need to arrest people again?... Then, what should we do?"
Lu Zhengqing was panicked when he heard the news, but he quickly calmed down and comforted Luo Muyu and Xi'er: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of slanted shadows. I'll be fine."
"Master, please don't forget that my wife did not commit any crime, but she was still accused for no reason!" Xi'er said with a sad face.
Luo Muyu was equally frightened when he thought of Hua Qingxue being arrested, and said nervously: "... You'd better hide, I... I'm really worried, I don't want you to be arrested like Madam... "
She couldn't help but choke up at the end of her words. It had been so long since Hua Qingxue was taken away, but there was no news. She really didn't want Lu Zhengqing to be taken into custody again. If so, what would she and the child do
