Ye Shaoxun came to the carriage with his men, pulled the reins, and sat coldly on the back of the horse.

A group of people surrounded the carriage.

Chen Yannian, the personal bodyguard of Ye Shaoxun, dismounted from his horse and questioned.

"Prince Xun is arresting a criminal. No one is allowed to hide the criminal; otherwise, he will be asunder by five carts!"

He questioned her in a very imposing manner.

"Who is in the carriage?"

The coachman parked the carriage, but he stood in front of the carriage door like a guardian, not letting the people of Prince Xun approach.

"Open the carriage door." Chen Yannian berated.

"What great authority! You even dare to investigate the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion." The coachman sneered.

When Ye Shaoxun, who was riding on the horse, heard the words "Prince Yan's Mansion", his face turned green, but he still kept a gloomy face and remained silent.

Without his master's order, Chen Yannian naturally didn't dare to let them pass.

"No matter who it is, we have to investigate it. A murderer escaped from the Prince Xun's mansion tonight. We can't be negligent."

"Oh?" The coachman sneered.

"Catching a fugitive? How could you search the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Ye Shaoxun twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and snorted.

"A mere coachman dares to stop me from catching the murderer? Is this the only rule of Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice came from the carriage.

"It's not up to you to make the rules of Prince Yan's Mansion."

"My brother!" Ye Shaoxun was shocked, and he hurriedly explained on his behalf.

"I didn't mean to offend you. I just didn't expect that you were in the carriage, I thought that you were recuperating in Qingan Temple... After all, you were seriously injured."

"Is that so?" The man in the carriage said lightly.

"You surrounded my carriage with a group of people. Do you want to capture me back?"

Ye Shaoxun suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down. "Brother, please mind your words. I wouldn't dare to offend you."

Everyone in the world knew that Prince Yan, Ye Shaoyan, was a great hero in pacifying the border chaos.

Even his father was a little afraid of him. Anyone who dared to check his carriage would be courting death?

There was no movement from the people in the carriage, so Ye Shaoxun had to let them pass.

Looking at the carriage moving slowly in the night, Ye Shaoxun was upset.

"Your Highness, shall we continue to chase after her?"

"That wicked woman can't have gone far. She must have gotten into the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion," Ye Shaoxun said with certainty.

"Your Highness, did you say that the Prince Yan would save her?" Chen Yannian frowned in confusion.

"No!" Ye Shaoxun sneered.

"Although my brother is good at fighting, he is naturally rebellious, sinister, and temperamental. If that wicked woman falls into my brother's hands, she will definitely die."

"Your Highness is correct."

Ye Shaoxun raised his head and looked at the dark night sky. The heavy rain had stopped, but he didn't get her.

He clenched the reins tightly with both hands.

"Unfortunately, she didn't die in my hands."

Since he could not avenge Su Yuting and their child, he felt somewhat depressed but figured it out in an instant.

"Return to the manor! That wicked woman will no longer be an eyesore to me!"

*

The carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion drove slowly.

In the carriage, Ye Shaoyan stared coldly at the disheveled woman.

The woman was wet all over, and her white shirt clung to her body, outlining her curvy figure.

She seemed to be seriously injured. She curled up in the corner, breathing rapidly.

Ye Shaoyan had never liked anything related to Prince Xun's Mansion.

Therefore, after avoiding the pursuit, Wei Qingwan looked up and saw that the man's sharp eyes were staring straight at her as if they were covered with ice.

The air pressure in the carriage was extremely low.

Realizing something, Wei Qingwan hugged herself.

"Get out." But he was just extremely cold to her.

Looking into the man's cold eyes, Wei Qingwan suddenly felt nervous. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she could still feel his vigilance and dissatisfaction.

She searched for memories of this man in her mind.

He was the God of War of Daqi State, the Prince Yan that everyone feared.

Her birth mother was the current emperor's wife. For some reason, the former empress had died early and only had one son left.

The current Emperor doted on the current Empress' son, Prince Xun. He even wanted to make Prince Xun the Crown Prince.

However, Prince Yan showed off his power. All the Chinese and military officials in the court tried to dissuade the Emperor, believing that Prince Yan was the most suitable candidate to be the Crown Prince.

The reason was simple. Prince Yan could make the country stable with his military and civil affairs.

Such a legendary figure of Daqi State had been injured on the battlefield half a year ago. He had been poisoned, his face disfigured, and even had difficulty moving.

In other words, the position of Crown Prince was now hanging by a thread.

That was why Prince Xun dared to mock him just now.

However, although Prince Yan was injured, his troops and forces were still there. Prince Xun liked to pretend and only dared to mock others verbally. If they really fought for the throne, Prince Yan had a higher chance of winning.

Everyone in the world knew about the fight between him and King Ning. He probably thought that he was a spy sent by Prince Xun.

There were also rumors that Prince Yan was sinister, violent, and no one dared to approach him.

If she was not careful, she might lose her life.

Wei Qingwan restrained her complicated emotions and spoke weakly.

"Trust me, I can cure you."

"With just you?" Ye Shaoyan sneered.

"Even a magic doctor can't cure my injury. How dare you talk big, little girl?"

He seriously doubted her background.

"I'm not with Prince Xun. I'm Wei Qingwan from the Prime Minister's Mansion." She was in a hurry to defend herself. "Prince Xun really wants to kill me!"

"I just happened to meet your carriage and hid in it to seek your protection."

"Oh?" Ye Shaoyan stared at her with a faint smile and drawled.

He had been sizing up Wei Qingwan, and his gloomy eyes seemed to be able to see through her and see through her heart.

Wei Qingwan tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart and said softly.

"I know that you have struck by poison just now, so I put some medicine in the carriage. Prince Yan, how are you feeling now?"

Ye Shaoyan looked at her with deep eyes. No wonder he felt much better just now.

"You followed me?"

"No." Wei Qingwan said word by word, "The fragrance of snow lotus wafted out of the carriage. It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying."

"When I got on the carriage, the Prince Yan sat still. With your skills, you would definitely knock me out of the carriage, but you didn't."

Ye Shaoyan listened quietly with an imperceptible look of surprise on his face.

"It's not because you don't want to, but because you are struck by poison and can't move at all. The snow lotus you took is gone, so you rushed back to the city in the middle of the night, hoping to enter the palace to get it."

The atmosphere in the carriage became more and more serious, making it hard for people to breathe.

Ye Shaoyan looked at her coldly.

"The reason why I know it is not only because I smell the snow lotus in the carriage, but also because I can guess from the slow speed of the carriage. On a rainy night, you should either run faster or never leave the mansion."

"However, your carriage is coming back from outside the city at such a slow speed. It can be seen that the people in the carriage can't stand the bumps, but still have to enter the city."

"So I guessed that you must have been struck by poison."

Wei Qingwan sat up straight and said in a firm tone.

Your Highness, the Snow Lotus is indeed able to neutralize the poison in your body, but it is only able to alleviate a little of the poison. If you trust me, please bring me back to the mansion. I will definitely be able to treat yo!!

She didn't have a place to go at this time. It might be a good choice to go to Prince Yan's Mansion.

She also needed a place to recuperate.

She continued to tell him.

"The wound on your face is corroded by sulfuric acid. Others can't cure it, but I can."

"Ha!" Ye Shaoyan burst into laughter.

"What a smooth talker."

His hand suddenly moved as a gust of wind from his palm hacked over.

Wei Qingwan didn't dodge. Instead, she sat up straight and calmly faced the fierce wind from his palm.

A gust of wind blew in the carriage, and the air was cold.

"I've helped you detoxify just now. You've always been wise and powerful. You won't kill me, will you?" Wei Qingwan looked at the figure in the dark seriously.
