The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 256

Chapter 256 I Want to See Her
Hong Yu did not know why she insisted on keeping this child. She only remembered that day when Chu Yanzhi grabbed her shoulder and asked her again and again. Was he not worthy of love? At that time, his eyes were filled with enduring sorrow. It was like a huge whirlpool, and she fell into it without any precautions. She had never liked anyone, nor did she know what it was like to like someone. She could not help but feel heartache at the thought of those eyes …

Now, he has nothing, the only thing he can have is the flesh and bones in her stomach, she wants to keep him …

Twilight dyed the Dali Temple with a layer of golden yellow, giving the originally cold place a bit of meaning out of thin air.

The newly appointed Dali Temple’s Qing Xiaofeng did not expect the Crown Princess to personally come. He was in a hurry for a moment, afraid that he would offend the Crown Princess if he did not take good care of her properly.

“Sir Xiao, is the criminal that the Crown Prince gave you still being held here?” Xiao Xiwei sat down on the chair and looked up at Xiao Feng.

“Go back to the Crown Princess. I’m here.” Xiao Feng raised his hand and wiped a handful of juice.

Xiao Xiwei nodded and said to Xiao Feng, “Then please let Lord Xiao lead the way for my maidservant.”

“Guide, guide the way?” Xiao Feng raised his eyes to glance at Xiao Xiwei, and a trace of unclear meaning flashed through his eyes.

Although he had just become the secretary of the Dali Temple, he had also heard that the Crown Princess had a’complicated ‘relationship with the criminal in prison. However, the Crown Prince now held great power, and he had heard that he was very attentive to the Crown Princess. Although everyone knew about this relationship, no one dared to talk about it. But now, the Crown Princess had come to see this rebellious criminal. This made him feel a little embarrassed. Not to mention that this rebellious crime was a capital crime of conspiracy to rebel. With the relationship between the Crown Princess and this rebellious criminal, if he let her people in, if something happened, he, a small Dali Temple Qing, would really not be able to bear it!

Seeing Xiao Feng’s worried expression, Xiao Xiwei used his toes to figure out what he was thinking.

“Sir Xiao, this palace’s request is making things difficult for you?” Xiao Xiwei raised his eyebrows and his phoenix eyes slowly swept towards Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng’s heart skipped a beat when he was swept by the corner of Xiao Xiwei’s eyes. A cold sweat broke out from his back and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, “Don’t make things difficult, don’t make things difficult. Xiaoguan will send someone to take this aunt to the dungeon.” After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and summoned a government soldier. In front of Xiao Xiwei, he personally instructed him to bring Hong Yu down. Finally, he turned around and said to Xiao Xiwei again, “Crown Princess, look …”

Xiao Xiwei nodded slightly at him, then turned to look at Hong Yu, “Go.”

Hong Yu raised her eyes and forcefully pursed the corners of her dry lips, forcefully suppressing the dampness that was about to emerge from her eyes.

“Auntie, please follow me.” The soldiers of the Dali Temple walked up to Hong Yu and bowed respectfully to her.

Xiao Xiwei tilted his eyes and reached out to pick up the tea that the maid had just delivered. He lightly spat out two words, “Go.”

She did not know what this child in Hong Yu’s belly meant to Chu Yanzhi. I wonder if Chu Yanzhi would use this child to do anything? Perhaps, because of this child, she would stir up a lot of trouble in the future. She should have taken his life, but because his mother was Hong Yu, she could not …

“Miss.” Hong Yu shouted softly with her red eyes.

How could she not know what this child in her belly meant to Xiao Xiwei, Chu Xizhi, and even the entire Great Yue? She also knew that leaving him behind would cause a lot of trouble in the future, but she really couldn’t force herself to get rid of him …

“Go, I’ll wait here for you to come back.” Xiao Xiwei raised his head and smiled at Hong Yu.

She revived her life and knew that it was not easy to get a few people who treated her sincerely in this world. She didn’t want Hong Yu to feel sad. As for the future …

Let’s talk about the future.

“This servant thanks Miss.” Hong Yu knelt on the ground and bowed to Xiao Xiwei before she got up and followed the manor soldier out.

Beside him, Xiao Feng silently watched all of this. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. Perhaps, this Crown Princess had nothing to do with that criminal. What was involved was this personal maid beside the Crown Princess? In this way, many things could be explained clearly. Unexpectedly, no man wanted his woman and the man beside him to be confused, let alone this person who was still the Crown Prince of the current dynasty.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

If that was what he thought, then he thought that the Crown Prince would probably not vent his anger on him because of this matter.

Hong Yu had only heard of the description of the dungeon in the book, but she had never seen it before. Now, this was the first time she had stepped into the dungeon. As soon as she stepped into the dungeon, it was as if she had stepped into an ice cellar. It was so cold that she couldn’t help but shiver. The dungeon was dark and humid, and only a few strands of heavenly light leaked out from the embroidered bars.

Was he locked up here?

It was dark, cold, and no one was talking to him …

Hong Yu’s nose was inexplicably sour.

Even she felt uncomfortable in such a place, let alone him …

“Auntie, this way, please.” Seeing that Hong Yu had stopped at the door, the government soldier couldn’t help but urge him.

I wonder why the aunt next to the Crown Princess came to see that criminal? Looking at her expression, it seemed that she was quite sad?

The soldier carefully guessed in his heart.

“Sorry to trouble you, big brother.” Hong Yu took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the tears.

The soldier nodded and continued to lead the way for Red Rain.

After walking for a long time, the soldier finally stopped in front of a cell. “Auntie, this is the place where the criminal is being held.”

Through the fence made of pig iron, Hong Yu saw Chu Yanzhi curled up on the ground with a single glance. Now, he only wore a thin dressing gown. His clothes were stained with dirt. The green silk that had been carefully tied up by the jade crown was now scattered like withered grass, covering most of his face. His entire body looked both embarrassed and dispirited.

Was this still the Crown Prince she knew …

In an instant, the tears that she suppressed gushed out.

“Auntie, the little one will leave first. If you need anything, just shout loudly.” The government soldier led the people here and said tactfully.

Hong Yu covered her lips and nodded.

The soldier bowed to Hong Yu and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Hong Yu rushed forward one after another, her hands tightly gripping the ice-cold fence. With tears all over her face, she shouted to the people inside, “Your Highness …”

As if shocked by the sound, the person curled up on the ground moved. A moment later, he slowly raised his head and looked outside.

“Your Highness.” Hong Yu couldn’t help but call out again.

However, that person did not respond, but his cold eyes kept staring at Hong Yu. After a while, he seemed to finally remember who Hong Yu was. A light suddenly flashed across his dim eyes. He got up from the ground and rushed to Hong Yu in a few steps. “Did your young miss ask you to come and see me?”

Hong Yu didn’t expect that the first sentence he said when he saw her would be like this …

After waiting for a while, Hong Yu did not reply. Seeing that she was looking at the tears on her face, Chu Yanzhi’s warm heart turned cold. He took two steps back and smiled self-deprecatingly. “That’s right, why would she think of me? She is already the Crown Princess now, right?”

The Crown Princess …

Haha, she has now become the Crown Princess, but unfortunately, he is no longer the Crown Prince …

What an irony!

“Your Highness.” Looking at Chu Yanzhi’s disappointed appearance, Hong Yu felt a wave of sadness in his heart.

A bitter smile flashed across the corner of Chu Yanzhi’s lips. Then, he slowly turned around and walked towards the corner step by step.

“Your Highness, aren’t you going to ask this servant why she’s here?” Hong Yu couldn’t help but shout at the figure.

Chu Yanzhi’s figure paused. After a while, he slowly turned around and looked at Hongyu with his pair of blank eyes without saying a word.

Hong Yu forcefully pulled the corner of her mouth and tears rolled down her eyes. She reached out and gently caressed her still flat lower abdomen. She said softly to Chu Yanzhi, “Your Highness, I’m pregnant.”

At first, Chu Yanzhi did not have any expression on his face, but gradually, a crack appeared on his ice-cold face, and a trace of surprise floated up, “You, what did you say?”

“Your Highness, I’m pregnant. It’s your child.” Hong Yu said to Chu Yanzhi with tears in her eyes.

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, then his gaze faintly descended. Finally, it landed on Hong Yu’s lower abdomen.

She, she’s pregnant?

Just once, she was pregnant?

He grew up in this palace, He personally gambled that his father would manipulate his brother like a chess piece, Being influenced by others, In his eyes, there had never been any so-called kinship. Therefore, he had never expected the child. But when he saw Xiao Xiwei lose Chu Tianye to the extreme, he suddenly wanted to give her a child. Although he now knew that her so-called sadness on that day was just a fake, Chu Tianye did not die …

Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi laughed self-deprecatingly.

The only time he thought about having a child was when Xiao Xiwei did not give it to him. Now, her maidservant had accused him that she had a child with him?

His life was truly ridiculous!

“Your Highness” After waiting for Chu Yanzhi’s reply for a long time, the joy and apprehension in Hong Yu’s heart gradually dissipated. What he received was a strong sense of unease.

Doesn’t he like this child?

“Does she know?” After a long silence, Chu Yanzhi finally spoke again, his voice carrying an unconcealable exhaustion.

“She? Your Highness is talking about … Miss?” Hong Yu raised her eyes and probed towards Chu Yanzhi. Seeing that he did not speak, she unconsciously sighed in her heart. Then, she said, “Young miss, she naturally knows. Otherwise, how could this servant see His Highness?”

Everyone else said that he was cold and heartless, but he did use his sincerity towards Miss. Unfortunately, his sincerity was destined not to be accepted by Miss.

When Hong Yu thought of this, she didn’t know whether she should feel gratified or sad.

“I want to see her.” After obtaining the answer he wanted, Chu Yanzhi looked at Hong Yu again. This time, his gaze was filled with determination.
