Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

Guo Aotian's expression also deepened a bit. Mu Jinning was the fiancé that Yun Qingran had chosen for Zhong Ran.

"You're such a jerk, throwing everything at a kid."

"When I was his age, I would have already been crowned prince and shouldered the responsibility."

"How strong is he now? I'll go meet him tomorrow and see if he can protect the little girl."

The emperor said calmly, "My son is naturally no worse than you."

Guo Aotian looked up at him, suddenly grinned, and drank another glass of wine.

"It would be best if he is strong, so that he can protect the little girl."

The two of them talked and chatted, and actually drank for a whole hour.

Guo Aotian was drunk and was sent back to the Guo Mansion by the emperor.

He sat up only after the emperor's men left. How could he still be drunk at all?

He sat by the bed in silence for a while before changing into night clothes and leaving the general's mansion.

……

"Mother, I want that bitch dead!"

Prince Yan woke up and felt a sharp pain in his arm, which distorted his delicate face.

The pain of a broken hand, coupled with excessive blood loss, and he was also kicked.

His severed hand was reattached by an imperial physician who was an expert in this field, but the physician said that he seemed to have been poisoned. The poison would not be fatal, but it would cause nerve and muscle necrosis.

In other words, even if his arm is reattached, it will be useless.

How could a disabled prince ascend to that position?

It was equivalent to being kicked out. How could he not hate it?

The Queen cried bitterly, "Don't worry, my son. Mother will not let her go."

How dare a lowly girl raised in the countryside hurt her prince?

Prime Minister Liu walked in from outside, his eyes full of gloom: "I'm afraid that bitch has hidden herself, and the Marquis' Mansion is also looking for her everywhere."

"Send someone out and find her. Even if we skin her alive, it won't be enough to appease her hatred for hurting my son."

"Don't worry, I've already sent out secret guards to kill her immediately if they find her."

King Yan was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat: "Be careful, that bitch is quite skilled in fighting."

Prime Minister Liu stood by the bed, studying his expression. "The guards in Prince Cheng's palace are just ordinary guards. The ones I sent out are all powerful secret guards. She's just a little girl from the countryside, relying on her ruthless determination to fight to the death."

Thinking of that sharp-tongued girl, he wanted to slap her to death.

After a pause, he frowned and said, "The Emperor's attitude towards her is different. I heard that the Emperor and Yun Qingran had some unspoken relationship in the past. Could she be..."

The Queen's expression darkened, and after a while she said, "Who knows? Perhaps only the Emperor and that bitch know about this."

Even though Yun Qingran has been dead for more than ten years, he has always been her biggest enemy.

The reason why Concubine Xiao was so favored was only because of her pitiful appearance and the power of the Xiao family.

That bitch is the white moonlight in the emperor's heart.

A young girl beside her said quietly, "Isn't she engaged to Prince Ning?"

This sentence reminded the two of them. Yes, Zhong Ran and King Ning were engaged, so how could they be brother and sister?

"In other words, the emperor took good care of that woman out of consideration for her."

The queen said quietly, "I'm afraid there's more than one, there's another one in the harem."

She opened her eyes slightly, her eyes filled with a vicious look: "Father, please be careful in your actions and don't leave any traces behind, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Prime Minister Liu nodded slightly: "I have sent people to look for Doctor He. As long as we find him, there is still hope for the prince's hand."

"The Zhong family can't be let off either. I want them all to pay the price."

……

Chen had been asking people to keep an eye on Zhong Ran these days. Since she hadn't come back for several days, she finally confirmed that either something had happened to that bitch, or she had figured it out and left.

"Clear all the things in Dailan Garden and tidy them up properly. My Dai'er is going to move back."

She excitedly ordered her servants to clean up Dailan Garden and let her daughter move back in.

Ever since returning from Prince Cheng's Mansion, Zhong Dai'er has been feeling a little unwell and has been suspicious all day long.

However, over the past few days, the Marquis' Mansion had not suffered any oppression, and Chen had been comforting her, so she slowly recovered.

After learning that Zhong Ran really would not come back, she was in a good mood and went over personally to direct the servants to clean up.

Zhong Chengbang has recovered a lot, but he has not returned to the academy yet. He took a month's vacation to recuperate at home.

He also heard about the disappearance of the disaster star and ran to see it excitedly.

The internal injuries he suffered this time made him much thinner and look depressed.

But he was in a good mood now, and ordered his men to throw all of Zhong Ran's things out and burn them.

On the other side, after not seeing her sister for a few days, Zhong Yan finally walked out of the yard and came to find Zhong Ran.

"Where's my sister?"

He knew that his sister lived in this yard, but when he came over he saw so many servants.

He remembered that his sister didn't like these people either.

Hearing the sound, the servants turned around and looked. Many people had actually never seen Zhong Yan. After all, he was too weird and no one dared to get close to him.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Zhong Yan walked towards the courtyard step by step, looking them over: "Where is my sister?"

As soon as he walked out of the yard, someone went to report to Zhong Qingshan, which scared him so much that he ran over quickly.

"Xiao Yan, why did you run out? Go back quickly."

He didn't dare to get close to him and stayed far away.

Zhong Yan turned around and looked at him with a cold expression: "Where's my sister?"

Zhong Qingshan didn't know how to answer him for a moment. How could he know where Zhong Ran had gone? He hadn't even sent anyone to look for her.

In his mind, it would be best if she just disappeared and never came back, so that he wouldn't have to try every possible means to kill her without being discovered.

Zhong Chengbang was very unhappy when he saw Zhong Qingshan's expression, so he led his men towards Zhong Yan.

"Who are you? Who is your sister? What qualifications do you have to question us?"

Zhong Qingshan was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Chengbang, don't get close to him, he is your elder brother."

"What big brother? Big brother is not..."

He paused for a moment, thought of a possibility, and stepped back in fear.

"Is that that person?"

Zhong Ran and Zhong Yan were both born to the ex-wife, and can be called elder brothers.

But Zhong Qingshan also had a concubine's son who was one year older than Zhong Yan. However, that concubine's son was suppressed by Chen in the mansion and had no way to survive, so he went to join the army.

Therefore, Zhong Chengbang didn't take it seriously when he heard about his elder brother.

In his mind, only those who have the same father and mother are worthy of being called his brothers.

At this moment, he realized that Zhong Yan was the disaster star, and his face turned pale with fear.

"You, why are you here?"

All the servants immediately moved away and no one dared to approach him.
