"Xu."

As the coachman pulled the reins, Ye Guyan and his group returned home safely.

With Ye Guyan's accelerated process, the distance taken was shortened by half.

Because he had known about Ye Guyan's return earlier, Chen Tanyan notified Liu Mei to come to the mansion to greet her quickly to reduce the difficulty of getting him back home.

Liu Mei also cherished this opportunity very much. She dressed up and after the carriage stopped, she took the initiative to extend her hand to help Ye Guyan.

But Ye Guyan simply ignored her and jumped off the carriage.

Liu Mei knew that she was in a weak position at the moment, but she could only swallow her anger and greet him: "Sister, you have worked hard on this journey. I asked someone to carefully stew a white fungus and lotus soup. Can you have a taste later?"

But Ye Guyan's mind is now completely on Chen Qinhe, and even if Liu Mei is humble, she has no time to pay attention to her.

Instead, he walked straight towards Chen Tanyan: "My Lord, give me the key to the dungeon."

Chen Tanyan was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why do you need the key at this time?"

But Ye Guyan's eyes were firm: "I want to see Qinhe."

Chen Tanyan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned to look at Liu Wenjin beside him.

But Liu Wenjin still maintained a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Tanyan didn't know about her behavior, but after thinking for a moment and speculating on what he had said to Liu Wenjin before, he still remained a little vigilant.

"I'll go with you."

Ye Guyan stood there in a daze, somewhat stunned.

Ever since locking Chen Qinhe into the dungeon, in order to completely cut off the gossip from outside, Chen Tanyan has hardly set foot there again.

On several occasions, Ye Guyan invited Chen Tanyan to go down to the dungeon to see Chen Qinhe.

Let him feel a little bit of normal parental love.

But Chen Qinhe said coldly that he didn't go down because he was afraid that he could not suppress the urge to kill Chen Qinhe.

From then on, Ye Guyan never mentioned this matter again.

But I didn't expect that today, Chen Tanyan would actually bring it up on his own initiative.

"What? You don't want me to go?" Seeing that Ye Guyan didn't reply for a long time, Chen Tanyan frowned with some displeasure.

Ye Guyan shook his head: "No, if the prince wants to go, then we will go together."

Although we still don’t know what Chen Tanyan is up to.

But he is Chen Qinhe's father after all, and he has the right to visit Chen Qinhe.

After agreeing, everyone came to the dungeon where Chen Qinhe was imprisoned.

To be honest, even Chen Shuyin couldn't help feeling sad when she saw the courtyard full of weeds and garbage.

My eldest brother has lived in such an environment for so long.

Soon, a thousand-pound boulder that was pressing on the entrance of the dungeon was moved away by several strong servants, and then the heavy iron gate at the entrance was opened.

The moment the iron gate was opened, a foul smell came over the place, and everyone could not help but wave their sleeves to dispel the pungent smell.

This dungeon now looks much worse than the Heavenly Prison where Lu Baiqing is imprisoned.

The entire corridor was not only dark and damp, but the lighting was also very dim. A few skinny rats were moving back and forth unscrupulously.

Ye Guyan was angry. She didn't expect that during the time she was away, even the most basic hygiene could not be guaranteed here.

This made her angrily rebuke Chen Tanyan: "Prince, are all the people in the palace dead? How come no one even takes care of the sanitation!"

Chen Tanyan felt a little embarrassed when asked this question.

After all, during the time when Ye Guyan was away, he was not in the palace, but went to the Northern Prison to look for the so-called girl of destiny.

Naturally, I have no idea about the situation here.

He thought for a moment, and his eyes fell on Liu Wenjin beside him: "Didn't I ask you to take good care of this place before I went out to do something?"

Liu Wenjin really didn't expect that Chen Tanyan's ability to shift the blame had become so superb.

But she had already thought of an excuse: "Your Highness, I went to accompany the old concubine to have a vegetarian meal. Before I left, I asked the servants to take good care of this place. I guess these servants were careless, so..."

Seeing the two of them blaming each other, Ye Guyan felt annoyed.

But she now knew that this was not the time to pursue responsibility, so she immediately asked someone to open the iron door inside. She wanted to make sure that her poor Qin He was okay.

The two servants took the key and quickly came to the iron gate.

However, when they inserted the key, Liu Wenjin subconsciously took a few steps back. In her heart, she already knew exactly what would happen next.

However, the moment the last iron gate opened, purple poisonous gas instantly poured out from inside.

After being enveloped by the poisonous gas for a few seconds, the two servants fell to the ground with their bodies stiff.

Seeing the poisonous gas gradually spreading towards everyone, Chen Tanyan subconsciously waved his hand and ordered, "Hurry and retreat."

But how could Ye Guyan see this scene and still escape like the others? She tore off her sleeves, wrapped her mouth and nose with them, and rushed in without hesitation.

"lady."

Because she had to take care of Chen Shuyin, Yan Qian was unable to free her hands to hold her.

When Liu Wenjin saw Ye Guyan's figure disappear into the rolling poisonous gas, a smile appeared on her face.

If she could kill Ye Guyan here as well, she would be killing two birds with one stone.

Although Chen Tanyan had a sad look on his face at the moment, he would not risk his life for Ye Guyan and Chen Qinhe.

He just asked someone to quickly invite the doctor from the mansion to clean up the poisonous gas spreading in the dungeon.

However, before the doctors arrived, Ye Guyan had already walked out, supporting the dying Chen Qinhe.

At this moment, Chen Qinhe was extremely weak, and his lips had turned purple and black due to inhaling a large amount of poisonous gas. Combined with his long blood-red hair, he looked like a monster from a distance.

Seeing Ye Guyan and Chen Qinhe walking out of the dungeon, Liu Wenjin sent people to stop them at the critical moment.

"Sister, he can't leave the dungeon, otherwise the reputation that the palace has worked so hard to maintain will be ruined."

Such frivolous words made Ye Guyan gnash her teeth in anger. She glared at him and asked, "Do you want him to die?"

These words directly touched Ye Guyan's heart.

She really wanted to use Chen Qinhe's head as a stepping stone, and she was even more indignant in her heart that under such a thick poisonous gas, Chen Qinhe could actually save his life.

But in front of Ye Guyan, she naturally couldn't show it, and just suppressed her murderous intent and replied: "As a lady, I am naturally distressed to see Qin He like this, but I have survived for so many years, and I can't break the rules because of this matter now, right? Don't worry, I will send the best doctor to treat him when the time comes."

Ye Guyan naturally couldn't give in for the sake of her child. Her eyes were already filled with icy coldness: "What if I insist on taking him out?"
