The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination
Chapter 261 Who are they afraid of?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a truly remarkable figure, and his followers are no ordinary men! His Highness's martial arts skills are unfathomable, and he is protected by countless top masters. Those sent by His Majesty probably got word of it before they even got halfway. In his eyes, these people are like rookies; he doesn't take them seriously at all."
"That night, the assassins snuck into Daxi Village under cover of darkness, thinking they could accomplish their mission unnoticed. But we all knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was waiting for them to fall into his trap!"
"The four of us are even more unlucky. We used to be His Royal Highness's men, but now we're His Majesty's men, and we even have a grudge against Him. Alas! We wanted to inform His Royal Highness, but unfortunately, before we even entered the village, we were stopped by His Royal Highness's men. Without a word, they attacked us directly, and each of them was ruthless, showing no mercy at all! Ouch! You have no idea! We were beaten so badly that we almost lost our lives!"
Cang Xu recalled the tragic situation of that year, complaining while secretly covering his face. The blush on his face showed embarrassment no matter how you looked at it.
Yun Qing didn't sympathize with them at all. These four people couldn't tell their sides, and they didn't deserve to be beaten!
Cang Xu glanced at Yun Qing with embarrassment before continuing, "When we finally reached the house in Daxi Village, corpses lay scattered across the yard. Blood stained the ground red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. We counted them, and they were exactly the same as the assassins sent by His Majesty."
"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his beloved, and the people around him have long since disappeared without a trace."
"Poor us four! We can't afford to offend either side, and yet we've offended both. We can only bite the bullet and help dispose of these bodies and clean up the courtyard. I hope His Highness will let us go when he returns."
"What happened next?" Yun Qing didn't want to hear him pretending to be pitiful, so she continued to ask.
Cang Xu: "After losing the Crown Prince, the four of us didn't dare return to the capital. We stayed in that small courtyard, thinking we could return once His Highness's anger subsided. If he refused to return, we could give an explanation to His Majesty by returning to the capital. We also stayed there to deal with those who harbored evil intentions."
Yun Qing's thoughts raced. Many things in Cang Xu's revelation matched what he knew. Things that hadn't made sense before, things he'd never been able to understand, finally had answers today.
Yun Qing: "After my father and the others left Daxi Village, they never came back?"
Cang Xu said hurriedly, "I've been back! It was almost a year ago. One night, His Highness and that girl... No, no, no, I should say your mother! We all called her Madam later. Madam was pregnant with you, the young master, and was about to give birth! The two of them suddenly appeared in the mansion, and... and..."
Yun Qing listened, her heart pounding, and she hurriedly asked, "And, what?"
Cang Xu said solemnly, "Only the couple returned, without even a single guard! Furthermore, His Highness looked panicked, as if facing a formidable enemy, as if he were hiding from someone... We suspect that those around His Highness may have met with misfortune!"
Yun Qing was shocked, frowned, and continued to ask: "What happened next? ...!"
Cang Xu: "Since returning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been extremely cautious. He and his wife have never left their house. But His Royal Highness felt that this place was still not safe enough, so he sent me to invite Taoist Wuji from Xuantian Palace.
After Taoist Wuji arrived, the Crown Prince and the Taoist spent the entire night in a secret conversation in the study. The next day, Taoist Wuji led his men to build a formation outside the house, protecting the entire courtyard and making it impossible for outsiders to break in. Therefore, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hiding from someone, as if he is very afraid of someone breaking in.
Taoist Wuji was Yun Qing's master, the head of Xuantian Palace. Upon hearing Cang Xu mention his master, Yun Qing hurriedly asked, "I didn't expect that the bamboo forest formation outside the house was actually built by my master himself. Could it be that my master knew my father and the others?"
Cang Xu smiled awkwardly: "More than knowing each other, we are practically brothers with different surnames!"
So that's it! Yun Qing was very surprised. He had never heard his master mention his father before, as if the two had never met. Why was that?
His sect had an unwritten rule that prohibited disciples from participating in politics, holding official positions, and accepting no royal disciples. Yet, not only did he enter Xuantian Palace, he became a direct disciple of Taoist Wuji. Apparently, it was all thanks to his father's powerful connections!
Since he had his master's formation and his powerful father, Yun Qing really couldn't think of who else in this world they were afraid of.
This was getting more and more unbelievable! Who was that person? Yun Qing's first thought was Jiu You. He was a highly skilled martial artist, a skilled poisoner, and had evil intentions towards his mother! However, Jiu You's martial arts skills weren't as good as his father's. His equal was Ming Yuan. Even if Ming Yuan and Jiu You came after them together, someone like his father wouldn't be so frightened!
Yun Qing: "You haven't asked my father what happened to him? Where did everyone around him go?"
Cang Xu said, "Of course we did ask, but His Highness refused to tell us. We even speculated that His Majesty had sent assassins to kill your mother again. Later, when we returned to the capital, we learned that His Majesty deeply regretted the assassination and had only sent that group of people."
Yun Qing couldn't figure it out either. If you can't figure it out, don't waste time thinking about it. You will always find the answer in the future. This is the theory that Mu Qingcheng often talks about, and Yun Qing also thinks it makes a lot of sense.
"Then, what happened next?"
"Later, His Highness and his wife finally settled down peacefully. His Highness's wife was about to give birth, and the only time His Highness went out was to find two wet nurses and two midwives for his wife.
Not long after, the Madam suddenly had a seizure, and a day and a night later, the young master was born safely, and both mother and child were safe. His Highness was overjoyed and ran around the yard like crazy, wishing he could fly."
Yun Qing couldn't help but get excited when she heard this, but it seemed... "Wait, what did you say? How could mother and child be safe? Didn't my mother die in childbirth?"
Cang Xu was confused: "Who said your mother died in childbirth?"
Yun Qing: "Feng Zhishang!"
"Well! That's not important. I saw you being born, and both mother and child are indeed safe. Although we are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, we can still hear everything clearly in the outer courtyard. In fact, there is no need to listen carefully. Just listen to His Highness's chattering mouth. He leaned on the window and kept talking to his wife. It was hard for us not to hear!
If the lady screams a little louder, His Highness will immediately kick down the door and rush into the delivery room. If anything were to happen to you and your child, I think His Highness would kill us all and bury us with the lady! So, the one talking to you now is not a ghost.
Haha! Yun Qing could imagine that he wanted to hold his forehead with his hands and quickly change the subject to continue asking questions.
"What about my parents? What happened afterwards? Why did my father carry me back to Beijing alone when my mother was dead?"
Cang Xu suddenly became serious, putting away his nonchalant look, and replied seriously: "Back then, mother and child were indeed safe! His Highness was a father for the first time, and when you cried, he would hold you and comfort you. We could all feel his joy. His Highness was even more considerate to Madam! Madam was also a mother for the first time, and she doted on you so much that she didn't even need a wet nurse, and actually fed you herself.
We didn't dare peek at this, we just heard about it. His Highness kept nagging and complaining about it to us all day long! He was naturally worried about his wife and worried about tiring her. But he didn't dare to stop it.
You three, your family, lived peacefully in that house for a period of time, a peaceful and beautiful time."
Yun Qing felt his eyes become sore for some reason as he listened. He looked up at the roof of the car, trying to stop the tears from falling.
Cang Xu was also immersed in the situation at that time, and he couldn't help but reveal a rare gentle smile.
