Emperor Sheng An wanted to smile at him, but because of the pain, he could only slightly raise the corner of his mouth.
He murmured softly: "Uncle, I want to live too, but I feel so tired!"
While treating his wound, Lin Yiwan said in a serious tone, "I won't give you a chance to rest. Your injury isn't serious. As long as the bleeding can be stopped, you can live well for decades!"
Emperor Sheng An looked at her in surprise: "Are you serious?"
Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow impatiently: "Why would I lie to you? Also, tell me the truth, among the concubines in the harem, have you ever snatched a woman from someone else? Her name contains the word 'Qing'?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking porcelain at the door of the inner hall.
Then he heard Li Delu yelling, "Empress Rong, why did you leave? Empress Rong, are you hurt?"
Emperor Sheng An squeezed his eyes shut, then spoke slowly, "Among the concubines in my harem, the only ones with the character 'Qing' in their name are Concubine Rong and Zhu Yanqing!"
Lin Yiwan was shocked. Yan Mucheng, Zhu Yanqing, that's right, the source of all the hatred came from them.
She spoke without hesitation: "A Yan, quickly bring Rong Fei and You Yi to this palace, otherwise they will be in danger!"
But before Zhan Yan walked out, he saw Princess Youyi running in with a look of panic.
She cried and said, "Aunt Wan, my mother, my mother has been kidnapped!"
Lin Yiwan closed her eyes tightly, but she was still a step too late.
Emperor Sheng An was furious. Even though he was seriously injured, he roared, "Who is so bold as to dare to snatch my concubines?"
Princess Youyi was frightened by his appearance and subconsciously hid behind Zhan Yan.
Zhan Yan soothed her gently, "Don't be afraid, Your Highness. We will rescue your mother as soon as possible. All you have to do is tell us the man's appearance!"
Princess Youyi answered cautiously, "She is my mother's maid, her name is Qiuhua!"
Lin Yiwan was stunned for a moment. She remembered Qiuhua, a very pretty girl. Could it be that she was the spy that Yan Mucheng left by Concubine Rong's side?
In other words, Emperor Sheng An's sudden nightmare was related to her.
She asked anxiously: "Youyi, do you know where they went?"
Youyi shook her head. "I don't know. I saw them arguing and wanted to go up and talk them out, but Qiuhua was really mean to me. When my mother scolded her, she knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, they were gone!"
Emperor Sheng An said coldly, "Pass the order down. Seal the city gates. All imperial guards will search the city overnight. The traitor must be apprehended!"
Zhan Yan couldn't help but feel troubled. In order to catch the traitor, he needed a portrait, right?
But no one in the palace had ever seen him!
How to catch?
Emperor Sheng An was so anxious and angry that he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.
Lin Yiwan quickly gave him acupuncture. He said in a hoarse voice, "Wanwan, don't worry about me. Find a way to save Concubine Rong. I don't have many people around me anymore. I can't let anything happen to her, and I can't let Youyi be without a mother!"
"Father!" Youyi rushed to his side and cried loudly.
Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "My father stabbed you when he was unconscious. I will never let anything happen to you. I will use all my strength to save you!"
Emperor Sheng An no longer had the strength to speak and fell into coma in an instant.
Zhan Yan went to find a palace maid who was familiar with Qiuhua, and then asked Sang Qiutang to draw a portrait of her.
He started with Qiuhua. As long as he caught her, he could find out the whereabouts of Concubine Rong.
Unexpectedly, he was disappointed in the end.
Yinghun and others took the portrait out of the palace and searched for a while, then got news from Lin Ran that someone had salvaged a body from the moat that looked very much like Qiuhua.
Zhan Yan rushed over and confirmed that it was her without a doubt.
He couldn't help pacing back and forth: "Could it be that this clue is broken with her?"
Yinghun asked, "My Lord, can you start by checking with Rong Fei's mother's family to see if they know Yan Muqing?"
Zhan Yan shook his head: "She is an orphan, how can she have a maternal family?"
Shadow Soul said awkwardly, "Searching for someone without any clues is like searching for a needle in the sea!"
Zhan Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. "We can search for Concubine Rong based on her portrait. As long as she's still in the capital, she'll have left clues!"
"Yes!" Yinghun hurried to find Sang Qiutang.
While they were busy searching for someone, in a seemingly ordinary courtyard in the capital, Concubine Rong had slowly woken up.
She was tied up with ropes and her eyes were covered with a black cloth.
She subconsciously opened her mouth and shouted, "Is there anyone there? Let me go! Someone, someone, someone, please!"
The door was pushed open, and then footsteps stopped in front of her.
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly spoke: "Is it you? You did everything, right? Tell me, Yan Mingheng, how many people do you want to die before you stop?"
The black cloth covering her eyes was suddenly removed, and the sudden light made her close her eyes subconsciously.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a handsome man in green standing in front of her.
She cried out in a trembling voice: "Mingheng, is it really you?"
He shook his head: "No, my name is Yan Muqing. The Mingheng you mentioned is already dead!"
Rong Fei said anxiously: "Don't be so stubborn. Send me back to the palace and bring me out. The emperor will definitely come after you!"
A flash of anger suddenly crossed Yan Muqing's face. He clamped her chin firmly with one hand and asked, "Do you still want to go back to him? You could have stayed in the palace for another six months and then left to marry freely. But he got drunk and favored you. He tore us apart. Don't you love him?"
Rong Fei's tears slowly fell, and she shook her head with difficulty: "No matter what, he is Youyi's father after all. The reason I stayed in the palace was only for my daughter!"
He sarcastically said, "You don't have to go back. He will die soon!"
Rong Fei looked at him in disbelief: "What did you do?"
Yan Muqing approached her and whispered in her ear: "I used Prince Li's hand to stab him, and I stabbed him in a vital spot. Do you think he still has a chance of survival?"
Rong Fei was furious. She angrily asked, "How could you do this? Do you know that not only did you kill him, you also destroyed Prince Li's mansion!"
Yan Muqing said coldly: "So what? It's just dog biting dog. What does it have to do with me?"
Concubine Rong bit her lip and begged, "Ah Heng, please let me go. Find a way to escape quickly. You have done so many things. The court will never let you go!"
Perhaps the word "Ah Heng" irritated him, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
He murmured softly: "Qing'er, you haven't called me Ah Heng for a long time!"
