The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince! - Chapter 869
Chapter 869: Chapter 867: Qin Muyan’s Wholehearted Protection
“Wei Jue, take men to the palace and arrest Su Yingxue. Throw her into the imperial prison to await her punishment!”
Qin Rulie immediately ordered his men.
Wei Jue was a man assigned by Qin Rulie to Qin Muyan, who had always been loyal to the Imperial family. Now seeing the two brothers in conflict, he felt extremely troubled, “Your Majesty, to arrest the Ninth Princess Consort so hastily…”
“Hasty? Do you and your servant plan to wait until Chu Yihan’s Shadow Guards enter the imperial palace and kill Zhao Hua before you stop considering it hasty?”
Qin Rulie sneered coldly.
“There are Shadow Guards of Chu Yihan in the palace?” Qin Muyan’s expression darkened.
He immediately stopped obstructing Qin Rulie’s actions.
If it was only Su Yingxue, he would definitely protect her to the end, but Chu Yihan’s moves had already involved matters of state!
He could not act recklessly!
He personally went to the palace with his men to bring Su Yingxue to the imperial prison.
Su Yingxue naturally refused to go with him. The Shadow Guards all appeared, intending to protect Su Yingxue and help her escape from the Great Wei Dynasty.
Seeing the highly skilled Shadow Guards, Qin Muyan felt a surge of resentment, “Yingxue, you indeed dispatched Shadow Guards to spy within the palace. Don’t you know this is a great taboo for a sovereign!”
The resting place of a nation’s Emperor, how can it tolerate the prying eyes of others!
Su Yingxue knew they were at fault in this matter, but she spoke unhurriedly, “Your Highness, I have no intention of spying on the imperial palace. The one I am watching is Shen Yu. She has ulterior motives!”
Impersonating her identity, longing for everything, and even with the aid of such strange people like Mu Fei, their plots feel dangerous!
Qin Muyan’s expression slightly darkened, “But now Imperial Brother has decreed your arrest, Your Highness cannot defy his command. Yingxue, do not resist. Come back with me, I promise, I will never harm you.”
“Out of the question! We swear to protect the Princess’s safety with our lives!”
The Shadow Guards defended Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue’s expression was grave, “I know Your Highness trusts me, but your Imperial Brother, mother, none of them trust me. I cannot let myself be put in danger.”
To betray Chu Yihan’s deep trust in her.
“But if you leave now, what then? Imperial Brother will certainly not let this go, and he is bound to lead his troops against the Great Cheng Dynasty. Do you really want to see the ensuing war and disasters upon the people? Trust me, Your Highness, I will not let you suffer any harm. Once the imperial grandmother awakens, I will plead on your behalf.”
Qin Muyan patiently comforted her.
Towards others, he would never show such tenderness or patience.
But towards Su Yingxue, he did not wish to confront her with blades, much less hurt her.
Su Yingxue’s brow furrowed deeper, for she certainly could not allow a war between two nations because of her. Qin Muyan could be trusted.
He would not let her come to harm.
Su Yingxue pressed down on the shoulder of a Shadow Guard in front of her.
That Shadow Guard immediately stepped aside, opening a path for her.
Su Yingxue walked toward Qin Muyan, “I trust you, Your Highness. I won’t let the Shadow Guards make a move tonight. But I ask Your Highness to give me a chance as well.”
Qin Muyan looked at her seriously, “Whatever you wish to do, Your Highness will assist you, as long as it does not harm my family.”
In a whisper, Su Yingxue spoke a sentence in his ear, “I want to see the Empress Dowager.”
Qin Muyan nodded in agreement.
He took Su Yingxue to the imperial prison but granted her the best treatment available. Apart from restricting her freedom, all other provisions were no different than in the palace. When he left, he also left Wei Jue behind, “You protect Yingxue. No one is allowed to see her. If she suffers any injury, Your Highness will hold you accountable!”
