Chapter 109 In the future... I will be your husband
Meanwhile, outside the palace, Yun Yuxuan, mounted on his horse, said anxiously to Gulimi beside him, "I wonder what's going on inside. Why haven't they sent a signal yet..."
Gulimi stared at the tightly closed palace gates, her heart unperturbed. She smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I believe in my husband's abilities. We just need to wait patiently."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yuxuan nodded, "The Emperor...is indeed very capable...I was too hasty..."
Gulimie tilted her head to look at Yun Yuxuan and asked in confusion, "Actually, I've never understood why you don't like your husband."
Yun Yuxuan pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and said, "I... actually already have someone I like..."
Gulimee asked with great interest, "Tell me, what kind of person is he? Is he even more handsome than my husband?"
Yun Yuxuan carefully recalled that face, his eyes filled with love. He chuckled and shook his head: "He's very handsome... but compared to the Emperor, he still falls a little short... However... I'm afraid there's no one in this world more beautiful than the Emperor..."
Suddenly remembering something, Yun Yuxuan quickly said, "Oh right, you're from Southern Xinjiang, and so is he... After this is done, I'll draw a portrait for you and see if you recognize him..."
Gulimi nodded and chuckled, "What a coincidence! I never expected that the person you admire would also be from Southern Xinjiang."
Just then, the sound of fireworks exploding suddenly rang out in the sky, coming from the royal palace.
Yun Yuxuan and Gulimi exchanged a smile. "Finally, it's done!"
They immediately ordered their men to break down the palace gates, and the two led their army inside...
Before long, news of the attack on the palace spread, and all the princes, ministers, and royal guards hurriedly got up and went to the palace.
Jiang Qingyan and the others, along with Queen Xia and the unconscious King Xia, sat together in the main hall waiting for everyone's arrival.
Queen Xia had already changed into a brand new phoenix robe, and her hair had been neatly combed again, but the redness and swelling on her face and the bloodstains at the corners of her mouth could not be concealed...
She secretly observed Jiang Qingyan's every smile and gesture out of the corner of her eye, her heart pounding faster than ever...
Since King Xia ascended the throne, she had been imprisoned in the palace, thinking she would never see the prince again in this life. But she never expected to see him again in the palace, and in this way at that…
Sensing the Queen Xia's gaze, Jiang Qingyan tilted her head and glanced at her. After thinking for a moment, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom.
She gently scooped out some pearl powder, rubbed it in her palm, then got up and walked to Queen Xia, placing her hands on her face.
Queen Xia was startled by her action, her eyes filled with surprise and delight. Was the young master applying medicine to her...?
Jiang Qingyan looked down into her eyes and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. The pain will subside once the medicine is fully absorbed."
Queen Xia nodded gently and murmured, "Young Master, you may call me Rong Yan..."
Being so close to the young master, her heart pounded faster and faster, and her cheeks began to flush slightly…
She so wished the medicine would be absorbed more slowly... so she could spend a little more time with the young master...
Jiang Qingyan smiled, "Rong Yan... what a beautiful name, worthy of your beauty..."
Rong Yan pursed her lips shyly... Was the young master praising her looks...?
At that moment, an old man dressed in the robes of a prime minister suddenly rushed in, shouting in a tearful voice, "Stop... Release the Queen at once... I'm willing to trade my life for hers..."
Upon seeing her father, Rong Yan's tears welled up instantly and fell onto Jiang Qingyan's hand. She choked out, "Father...you've come..."
Jiang Qingyan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded, and indicated that she could go directly over.
Queen Xia smiled at Jiang Qingyan, then quickly got up, ran over, and hugged Prime Minister Rong tightly, her eyes full of grievance, "Father... I thought I would never see you again..."
Prime Minister Rong gently patted Queen Xia's back and asked with concern, "Yan'er, were you hurt anywhere by them?"
Rong Yan left Prime Minister Rong's embrace, rolled up her sleeves slightly to reveal the hideous whip marks and bruises...
Prime Minister Rong's eyes were filled with heartache as he watched, tears streaming down his face. He pointed at Jiang Qingyan and the others, cursing angrily, "You beasts! How could you hurt my Yan'er like this! I'll fight you to the death!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a vase and rushed over.
Jiang Qingyan was drinking tea when she looked up and saw Prime Minister Rong rushing towards her with a vase in his hand, and she was instantly filled with questions...
What's going on? Is it to thank her for saving Rong Yan, so they sent her a vase?
She quickly put down her teacup and, as Prime Minister Rong ran closer, "took" the vase from her with both hands.
Prime Minister Rong's hands were suddenly empty; without his weapon, he could only stand there dumbfounded...
Rong Yan realized what was happening and quickly stepped in front of Jiang Qingyan to explain, "Father, you've misunderstood. The young master and the others are good people... My injuries were inflicted by the King... It was the young master who saved me..."
Immediately afterwards, Rong Yan told Prime Minister Rong everything that had happened during her time in the palace…
Prime Minister Rong felt as if his heart was being torn apart. His precious daughter, whom he cherished so dearly, had been tormented to such an extent by that beastly creature…
He turned his head to look at the King Xia lying on the couch, snatched the vase from Jiang Qingyan's hand, and rushed towards the King Xia again...
Jiang Qingyan suddenly realized that the vase was actually the "murder weapon"...
Rong Yan quickly pulled him back, soothingly saying, "Father, calm down. Now is not the time to kill him. We can torture him slowly after the new king ascends the throne..."
Prime Minister Rong gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Prince Xia, "Yes... killing him like this is not enough... he must be tortured properly..."
Hearing the approaching footsteps outside the palace, Rong Yan quickly informed Prime Minister Rong of the plan. With his support, the Third Prince could ascend the throne more smoothly.
In an instant, the hall was filled with ministers and imperial guards. Seeing that King Xia was lying on the couch, his chest rising and falling, and confirming that his life was not in danger, everyone was relieved.
Xiao Yan, the commander of the Imperial Guards, strode out from the crowd, his gaze landing on Jiang Qingyan and her companions. He demanded sharply, "Who are you? Why did you break into the palace at night? How is the King now? What did you do to him?"
Jiang Qingyan squinted as she looked Xiao Yan up and down. Sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, sharp features, thin lips, and a high nose—a true ice queen…
She couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, knowing that coming along this time would definitely bring unexpected gains!
Jiang Qingyan raised an eyebrow, feigning grievance, and said, "You're asking so many questions at once, and you look so serious, how are we supposed to answer them..."
Xiao Yan said speechlessly, "Then answer one by one. First, tell me, who are you?"
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Qingyan said, "Who we are now... isn't really important to you, but... in the future... I will be your husband, and those three... will all be your brothers!"
