Chapter 396 Lovers finally meet
However, after Emperor Lin left, Prince Xian looked Zhou Chang up and down.
In the end, he just snorted coldly and left with his men.
Zhou Chang was puzzled, but he had not forgotten Peng Liang, so he kicked him: "Have you forgotten what I said before?"
Peng Liang was about to stand up from the ground when he was suddenly kicked on the shoulder by someone. He fell backwards and cried out "ouch".
The Minister of War Peng Pai was startled and was about to speak, but when he saw Prince Yi, he was speechless.
Peng Liang got up from the ground and stole a glance to see that his father and King Xian were still standing there, but no one stopped them. He could only put on an aggrieved look and said, "I came here to protect the emperor. I didn't see anything."
"Get lost..." Zhou Chang wanted to kick him a few more times, but he felt disgusted and said, "Clean up the palace gardens properly."
Prince Rong was puzzled and stepped forward to stop the fight: "Ninth brother, what are you doing?"
Zhou Chang couldn't say anything else in front of so many people: "Brother Rong Wang, let's go."
Prince Rong asked, "What did your father mean by 'rescue the emperor'?"
Zhou Chang did not want to draw attention to this "ready-made bargain", so he perfunctorily said: "Nothing, isn't Brother Rong worried about the top scholar? Let's go over and take a look."
"Oh, yes..." Prince Rong did not ask any more questions and went in the direction of Wen Qingyan.
Zhou Chang also did not forget to pull Yuan Qi along and followed.
At this time, Wen Qingyan had already woken up, and Xu Wei took his pulse. He seemed to be fine, but he was sitting by the flower bed, staring in the direction of Zhou Chang and Yuan Qi.
Prince Rong went up first to say hello and asked about Xu Wei's situation.
Xu Wei only said: "The champion has no problem with his bones and muscles, he just got a little frightened. After taking the medicine and resting for two days, he will be fine."
Prince Rong nodded, and seeing Zhou Chang and Yuan Qi standing behind him, he smiled and said, "It's time for me to go back. I don't know how my Guansong Garden is going tonight."
"Goodbye, my royal brother." Zhou Chang hurriedly saw Prince Rong off.
Prince Rong took one last glance at Wen Qingyan but said nothing. Instead, he left with Xu Wei.
Zhou Chang turned around and saw Wen Qingyan staring at Yuan Qi.
I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. He was indeed the "Blind Young Master". As long as Yuan Qi was present, he couldn't see anyone else.
But if you want to create an opportunity for the two of them, you have to get rid of everyone first.
Just as he was trying to find an excuse, the twelfth prince Feng Shuo saw that Prince Yi finally had a chance and ran over: "Ninth brother..."
"You must be scared. It's getting late. Let your mother go back to bed." Zhou Chang turned around and saw Concubine Qin Sun waiting beside them.
"Brother Jiu, are you okay?" Feng Suo asked reluctantly.
"I'm fine." Zhou Chang said to Feng Suo, but his mind was on Yuan Qi and Wen Qingyan, "Go back quickly, Concubine Qin is still waiting for you, take Yuan Jie with you, we've had enough of this night's tossing and turning, you should have a good rest."
"Brother Jiu, you haven't come to see me these days..." Feng Suo pouted, obviously having a lot to say.
Zhou Chang pointed to Concubine Qin who was not far away and said, "Go quickly. Your mother is still waiting for you. His Majesty will be here soon. I'm sure Concubine Qin still has a lot of things to prepare. You can't delay."
"Okay." Feng Suo finally compromised and looked at Yuan Jie.
Yuanjie was reluctant to leave his sister, but he followed Feng Suo.
The two returned to Concubine Qin, and Concubine Qin brought her people and returned to Yunshui Pavilion under the escort of the imperial guards.
Zhou Chang finally dismissed all the irrelevant people, leaving only the imperial guards and eunuchs in the distance. Then he turned to Yuan Qi and said, "You two can say a few words."
Yuan Qi had been hiding behind her, and now he asked, "Isn't the prince going back?"
Zhou Chang was about to step aside. This was the best opportunity she could find for the two of them. Since Prince Yi was present, they could meet openly. So much had already been seen just now, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.
Before Yuan Qi could say anything else, Wen Qingyan suddenly stood up from the flower bed and pointed at Zhou Chang's nose: "In this situation tonight, you actually left her alone, are you still a human being?"
"What should I do...?" Zhou Chang wanted to stay away, but she didn't expect Wen Qingyan to come towards her.
"Don't think I didn't see it. After the fire broke out, not only did you not rush back to the palace, but you took people wandering around the palace." Wen Qingyan looked extremely excited.
Zhou Chang was startled: "What did you see?"
"I saw everything. There was a fire in the Hunting Palace. Even we who live in the Lower Garden could see the flames rising to the sky. The situation was so critical, and you still took him wandering around." Wen Qingyan pointed at the skinny monkey standing not far behind Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang was shocked and calculated the time carefully. What Wen Qingyan saw should be when they had just killed Liu Dexia and were planning to destroy the body.
Wen Qingyan could do nothing but blame him, and was left with a sharp pain in his heart: "I know I am no longer qualified to say these words, but in the past, now, and forever, I, Wen Qingyan, regard you as my treasure, someone who is more important than my life. If no one protects you, I will protect you to the end."
When he heard about the fire in the Hunting Palace tonight, he was in the lower garden of the Hunting Palace, half a hill away from Laiwu Garden where Prince Yi lived.
But when Wen Fei heard the news of the fire, the first thing he thought of was Yuan Qi, and then he ran up the mountain desperately.
If for no other reason, he just wanted to make sure Yuan Qi was safe.
Wen Qingyan asked Lai Wuyuan in a panic and went over, using the excuse of delivering something to ask if Yuan Qi was okay.
The answer we got was that Princess Yi was not there and had gone to the inner palace to be with Concubine Qin.
Wen Qingyan was even more worried, but he also knew that one could not enter the inner palace without permission, so he walked around the palace wall.
During the process, the palace maid tried to stop the scuffle and was knocked down by the soldiers who came to reinforce. She was then interrogated by the imperial guards and forced to return after their identities were revealed.
Just at that time, he saw Zhou Chang and the skinny monkey rushing to Prince Duan's Tingfeng Garden, and they seemed to be strolling in the garden, without any intention of worrying about others.
So he decided to wait outside Yi Yang Gate and would not feel at ease until he saw Yuan Qi come out safely with his own eyes.
However, after waiting for a while, he saw flames rising from the inner palace and suddenly heard shouts of "Catch the assassin". He could no longer wait and simply rushed in.
I finally found Qinfei Yunshui Pavilion. Just as I walked near the flower garden, I caught up with everyone in Yunshui Pavilion running out.
Wen Qingyan was able to find Yuan Qi among thousands of people, and rushed over without hesitation...
If he were in a different position, it is indeed unknown whether Prince Yi would be able to throw himself into the fire like Wen Qingyan, and he would not blame Wen Qingyan.
Zhou Chang said gently: "I know, your actions today are enough to prove it."
There was a moment when she had an impulse and wanted to tell Wen Qingyan that Prince Yi and Yuan Qi's marriage was fake and that Yuan Qi would return to him sooner or later.
But on second thought, Wen Qingyan may be a loyal and good lover, but he may not be someone who can keep a secret.
Subconsciously, he turned around to look at Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi stood silently to one side, not even looking at the two of them. He lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes were like two thick curtains that blocked out all his emotions.
