You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

"My lord, the young lady has caught a cold recently. She keeps coughing up blood at night and can't sleep. It has been more than half a month..."

Meeting Wanyan Hongze's murderous gaze, Zhao'er was so frightened that he trembled all over and responded timidly.

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Hongze immediately exploded with anger and roared directly:

"Wan'er is so seriously ill, why didn't anyone report it to me? You all don't want to live anymore, right?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Miss is afraid that you will worry, so she won't let us say it..."

Wanyan Hongze's roar was loud enough to burst his eardrums. Zhao'er was frightened to the point of nearly losing his soul to his body. He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy with a sobbing voice.

Seeing this, A Bao was afraid that Wanyan Hongze would really vent his anger on Zhao'er, so he quickly lowered his eyes and clasped his fists, trying to plead for Zhao'er:

"Your Majesty, the Queen is afraid that you will worry, so she asked Miss Zhao'er to keep her mouth shut.

Right now, saving the queen is the top priority, so please don’t think twice.”

It is undeniable that seeing Du Qingwan so pitiful, Wanyan Hongze was really furious and completely lost his mind.

After A Bao's reminder, he gradually calmed down.

"Wan'er has been ill for so long, have you called a doctor?"

He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, his eyes fell on Zhao'er again, and his tone was very cold.

“A few days ago, the imperial doctors in the palace were invited to come and see me.

But no one can diagnose what the young lady’s symptoms are…”

Zhao'er's voice was timid and gradually became weaker, and it was estimated that no one could hear it.

But Wanyan Hongze heard it clearly, and his expression became even colder:

"Those quacks! They can't even cure a simple cold. What's the point of keeping them around? We might as well kill them all and feed them to the wolves!"

Wanyan Hongze's anxiety was beyond everyone's imagination. He wished he could kill all the imperial doctors in the palace immediately.

On second thought, Du Qingwan might not have just suffered from a simple cold, but most likely some rare strange disease, so she tried hard to hold it in.

"A Bao, please post the imperial edict. I will pay a large sum of money to recruit famous doctors from all over the world to treat the queen!"

A Bao was worrying that Wanyan Hongze would act on impulse, when Wanyan Hongze suddenly raised his eyes to look at him and said with a gloomy face.

"Yes! Your Majesty! I will take my leave!"

A Bao didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately turned around and left.

"Wanyan Hongze, I'm really fine. Please let Zhao'er get up first. She was right. I was the one who asked them to keep it a secret from you..."

Seeing that Abao had left but Zhao'er was still kneeling there, Du Qingwan quickly pulled herself out of Wanyan Hongze's arms and smiled bitterly.

After hearing this, Wanyan Hongze stopped making things difficult for Zhao'er.

He patted Du Qingwan's shoulder gently and said with a wry smile:

“Okay, I promise you that I won’t embarrass anyone.

Zhao'er, get up! I will not let you off easily next time!"

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing that Wanyan Hongze had agreed to spare his life, Zhao'er quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude, staggered to his feet, and quietly stepped aside.

"Wan'er, from now on, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. Don't be like this anymore. Look at you, you look so haggard..."

Wanyan Hongze's attention was entirely on Du Qingwan. He raised his hand and stroked her long hair, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

He has a dull personality and really doesn't know how to comfort others.

"Oh, Wanyan Hongze, I'm really fine.

I…I just have a common cold, it’s not serious…”

Du Qingwan couldn't stand Wanyan Hongze's warmth and kindness, and suddenly became extremely shy. Her originally pale and bloodless face suddenly turned red all the way to her ears.

"You still say it's not serious? Look at you, you cough up so much blood every day and you can't sleep well."

Thinking of Du Qingwan suffering day and night, Wanyan Hongze felt mixed emotions and was particularly uncomfortable.

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Qingwan quickly took over the conversation and said with a smile:

"Then you go out first and I can sleep a little longer?"

It’s not that Du Qingwan doesn’t need Wanyan Hongze’s company, but she really can’t stand his warmth.

Every time she was with him, her heart would beat like a deer and she would almost fall for him.

"Okay. Then you should have a good rest. Zhao'er, serve the queen well."

Hearing that Du Qingwan wanted to take a rest, Wanyan Hongze was a little reluctant but still agreed reluctantly.

Before leaving, he kindly pulled the quilt over Du Qingwan and specifically asked Zhao'er to take good care of Du Qingwan.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Zhao'er will definitely take good care of the young lady."

Zhao'er slowly raised her eyes, tried hard to force a smile, and silently watched Wanyan Hongze leave.

Blessing Palace

Zhu Yunhao and the other two lurked in the Ci Fu Palace for a while. Apart from some guards, they couldn't even see the shadow of Du Qingwan.

It was late at night and the Ci Fu Palace was still full of flowers and plants, which attracted mosquitoes and were very annoying.

Zhu Yunhao stared at everyone who entered and left the Cifu Palace, even the palace maids.

But he still didn't find the target, and suddenly he became impatient.

"Didn't you say the King of Loulan lived here? Where is he?"

He tilted his head and glared at Shadow fiercely, questioning him unhappily with a very gloomy look.

"Your Majesty, I am determined to go. The King of Loulan will live in this Blessing Palace."

Catching the displeasure on Zhu Yunhao's face, Shadow suddenly became a little nervous and hurriedly made reassurances again and again.

Ever since the three of them started lurking outside the Blessing Palace, such doubts have occurred no less than three times, and Shadow was a little at a loss.

"What about that person? Are you trying to tell me that those eunuchs and palace maids could be the King of Loulan?"

Zhu Yunhao really had no patience at all, his tone was very bad, and his eyes were extremely cold.

"Maybe the King of Loulan went out for something and hasn't returned to the palace yet?"

Eunuch Liu, who was standing by, had fed a lot of mosquitoes tonight and was getting a little impatient.

But in order to prevent the two from starting a quarrel, he could only find a random reason to ease the tense atmosphere.

Seeing that Eunuch Liu was speaking for him, Shadow immediately echoed him:

"Yes, yes! It should be like this..."

"You're a fool! My goal is to find the queen, the queen of Loulan, Du Qingwan! Not the king of Loulan!

You two are singing the same tune, maybe you have forgotten the real purpose of our trip?"

What made the two of them completely speechless was that before Shadow could finish his words, Zhu Yunhao quickly interrupted him and retorted in a bad mood.

The two were suddenly speechless and looked at each other, not daring to say another word.

"Tell me, is the Queen here? If we can't find her, it'll be dawn soon!"

Seeing the two of them standing there in a daze, Zhu Yunhao asked again, his expression even uglier than before.

"Your Majesty, this Cifu Palace is the bedroom of the King of Loulan, so his queen will naturally live here!

If we wait a little longer, we will probably be able to see the Queen."

Fearing that Zhu Yunhao would not be able to hold back his temper at Shadow again, Eunuch Liu quickly lowered his voice and spoke with a smile.

Hearing this, Shadow nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, yes, that's right."

Helpless, Zhu Yunhao could only sigh softly, put on a sour face, and continue to stare at everyone who entered and left the Blessing Palace.

"Abao, send more people to protect the queen and keep a close eye on everyone who enters and leaves Tianze Palace, including the imperial physician."

“What kind of strange disease does Wan’er have? Even I can’t understand it.

She looks like she's been poisoned, but she's not. This is really giving me a headache."

At this moment, Wanyan Hongze and Abao walked into the gate of Cifu Palace one after another, and both of them looked extremely solemn.

After Wanyan Hongze finished explaining all this, he just happened to walk to the door of his room. He pushed it open and walked in.

"Here he comes, here he comes, he is the King of Loulan!"

Shadow was the first to recognize Wanyan Hongze, pointing at him and looking very excited.

Zhu Yunhao was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly followed.

The three of them squatted quietly under the window and listened with their ears perked up.
