The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead
Chapter 29: Imprisoned Prince and the Male Supporting Role & Cannon Fodder Palace Maid 15
"Where is Wenrou? Didn't I ask you to look after her?" Yan Heng called Zhang Ji over and asked loudly with an angry face.
Zhang Ji was so frightened that he knelt down and quickly replied, "Your Highness, I went to all the palace gates to ask, and it seems that Master Wen left the palace through a side door. Master Wen had a gold medal in his hand, so the guards didn't dare to stop him."
"Go find her! Go find her father!" Yan Heng's rage grew fiercer, his eyes widening and veins bulging on his forehead. He thought he had been good enough to Wenrou, but he never expected her to leave without saying goodbye.
At the same time, Wenrou and his group had already disguised themselves and quietly left the capital in a simple carriage.
In fact, Wenrou's father was not used to the bustling and noisy capital, but because his daughter was in the palace, he and his family reluctantly stayed. Now that Wenrou had escaped, they decided to relocate the family and find a quiet village to settle down and live a peaceful life.
Wenrou was worried that Yan Heng would find them, so she even contacted several escort agencies to ask if they could follow the escort vehicle to the southwest. In fact, Wenrou and her companions did not go too far from the capital, but settled in a small village near the capital.
Yan Heng missed Wenrou, and the people he sent to look for her went all the way to the southwest, but naturally found nothing.
This rebellion also sounded a wake-up call for Yan Yintian. As long as the crown prince did not ascend the throne, there would always be someone else who would jump out and want to fight for the throne. So Yan Yintian simply ignored the advice of the court officials and decided to abdicate to Yan Heng.
To prevent any complications, Yan Yintian even scheduled Yan Heng's coronation ceremony for half a month later. In just half a month, Yan Heng went from being the crown prince to the new emperor.
On the other hand, Yan Jin, who was defeated by Yan Heng, was sentenced to death for colluding with the Dianyun Kingdom and rebelling.
Before the execution, Yan Heng went to the prison to see Yan Jin for the last time.
Shangguan Qing, as Yan Jin's main accomplice, was also imprisoned with him. Shangguan Qing was very excited when she saw Yan Heng. She shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I am innocent. I didn't do anything! It was all done by Yan Jin alone. Your Highness, I am innocent. Please let me go. I am willing to marry you!"
Yan Jin watched coldly from the sidelines. Shangguan Qing had completely fallen out with him these past few days, constantly insulting him. Yan Jin had now completely seen through Shangguan Qing: she didn't love him at all; she only cared about the position of empress. But what he couldn't understand was why Shangguan Qing chose him when Yan Heng was clearly more likely to become crown prince. Little did he know that Shangguan Qing had traveled from the modern era, and that according to history, Yan Jin was the ultimate claimant to the throne.
Yan Heng ignored Shangguan Qing. Instead, the eunuch beside him shouted, "How dare you! This is the current emperor. Don't be rude!"
After hearing this, Yan Jin finally reacted. He burst into laughter and said, "After all, you are his only son. I never thought he would abdicate to you."
Yan Heng's face was expressionless as he sarcastically said, "Why, you won't let me be the emperor, but you, the son of a palace maid who colluded with foreign vassals, will be the emperor? To become emperor, you have repeatedly plotted to murder me, and even took advantage of my father's illness to rebel. What qualifications do you have to be emperor?"
Yan Jin looked at Yan Heng with hatred in his eyes and said unconvincedly: "You are just lucky that you are the queen's child. Apart from that, what else is so outstanding about you?" Yan Jin looked down on Yan Heng from the bottom of his heart.
"What's so great about me? Now I am the emperor and you are a prisoner. This is my greatness." Yan Heng suddenly felt that the confrontation with Yan Jin was very boring, so he sneered and turned away.
Shangguan Qing saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save me!"
Yan Heng stopped, looked back at Shangguan Qing, and said coldly: "When you and Yan Jin conspired to murder me, you should have thought of this day." After that, he left without looking back.
Shangguan Qing fell to the ground, looking at Yan Heng's back in despair, muttering to herself: "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, I could have been the queen."
Yan Jin sneered and looked at Shangguan Qing mockingly.
Regardless of whether they were willing to accept such a fate, Yan Jin was eventually executed, and Shangguan Qing was demoted to a pariah and exiled to the remote northwest region. Not only that, Shangguan Qing's family was also implicated, dismissed from their official positions and exiled to the northwest together.
Yan Heng had just ascended the throne, and his busy political life left him with little time to spare. Therefore, he had to entrust Zhang Ji with the task of finding Wen Rou's whereabouts. Every few days, Yan Heng would inquire about the progress, but the results were always unsatisfactory. Wen Rou seemed to have vanished from the world, leaving no trace.
At the same time, the ministers in the court began to frequently petition Yan Heng to hold a grand ceremony to select a concubine. After all, Yan Heng's harem was empty, and they couldn't wait to send their own daughters into the palace.
However, Yan Heng rejected all these suggestions. On the one hand, due to his condition, he could not have children. If he accepted a concubine, the truth would sooner or later be revealed. On the other hand, for some reason, Wenrou's words, "A lifetime together, a pair," often surfaced in his mind. Therefore, he never took a concubine in his harem.
Five months after Wenrou disappeared, Zhang Ji finally shifted his search from the southwest back to the capital, and finally found any trace of Wenrou.
"Female doctor?" Yan Heng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Zhang Ji closely.
Zhang Ji nodded excitedly and replied with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, in Yao Village near the capital, there is a female doctor with remarkable medical skills. And according to the villagers, this female doctor happened to come to Yao Village five months ago. I suspect that this female doctor is Wenrou. Perhaps we have been focusing on the southwest region and neglected the areas around the capital, so we have not made any progress."
Yan Heng was extremely excited after hearing Zhang Ji's words. He stood up suddenly and shouted, "Good, good, good! I finally found you. Go, go and bring her back to me!"
However, just as he finished speaking, Yan Heng seemed to have thought of something and quickly changed his words: "No, wait, I want to go myself. I want to bring her back to the palace myself!"
After saying that, Yan Heng quickly changed into a light casual outfit, left the palace with Zhang Ji, and rushed to Yao Village without stopping. Along the way, Yan Heng was extremely anxious. He couldn't wait to see Wen Rou and bring her back to the palace.
When they arrived in Yao Village, they asked the local villagers. Surprisingly, everyone in the village seemed to know something about the female healer. They enthusiastically gave Yan Heng and Zhang Ji directions, telling them where to find her.
