Concubine Rong frowned, still feeling that the porcelain piece in her hand was the most practical.

If she could really hit the target with one strike, she would be able to escape.

This small piece of porcelain is her only hope.

As Rong Fei thought about this, she gradually felt tired and could hardly open her eyelids.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside again, and she was so startled that her eyes widened.

She was still curled up on the bed, looking as pitiful as before when she was tied up.

Yan Muqing walked in carrying a lunch box. He said in a deep voice, "Qing'er, today I asked the kitchen to steam your favorite osmanthus cake for you. It's very sweet. Come and try it!"

He moved closer to her with the cake, waiting for her to open her mouth obediently like before.

Rong Fei's breathing was a little heavy, and her eyes were staring fiercely at the man in front of her with gentle eyes.

She secretly thought that he was really good at pretending. He was obviously extremely vicious and scheming, but at this moment he pretended to be deeply in love.

She said coldly: "You remembered it wrongly, I don't like sweet-scented osmanthus cake anymore, especially the one with icing sugar, I hate it even more!"

Yan Muqing couldn't help but frown, and he murmured in surprise: "So your taste has changed, but I only have osmanthus cake here, you have to eat it whether you want to or not!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he clamped her chin with one hand and stuffed the whole piece of osmanthus cake into her mouth.

In a flash, the porcelain fragments hidden in Rong Fei's hand flew towards his eyes.

This time Yan Mucheng was completely unprepared. He had no time to dodge and both of his eyes were scratched, causing him to scream in pain.

Rong Fei took the opportunity to jump off the bed and rushed towards the door.

Yan Muqing instinctively grabbed her shoulders and asked with a ferocious look on his face, "Why are you running away, Qing'er? Am I not good to you? I've taken care of you so personally, why do you want to leave?"

"Pa!" The furious Concubine Rong raised her hand and slapped him hard in the face.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "You venomous snake, what gives you the right to imprison me here? What you want may not be what I want. You have no right to make decisions for me!"

Yan Mucheng's face was grim, and the pain in his body was not even a bit compared to the pain in his heart.

It turned out that after all he did, she not only had no gratitude at all, but even hated her for not dying?

How ridiculous he was, still thinking of leaving the capital with her and finding a place with beautiful scenery to live out their days.

After all, she has changed her heart and is no longer the little girl she used to be.

He sneered, "You think you can escape by hurting me? Don't be foolish! Those servants outside are all skilled killers. They won't let you go!"

Concubine Rong turned a deaf ear to him because she knew very well that this was her only chance.

She kicked him to the ground and quickly rushed out of the stone chamber.

While Yan Mucheng was still not able to react, she closed the stone door tightly.

Yan Muqing knocked on the door from inside: "Qing'er, open the stone door quickly, you can't escape at all, don't be so stubborn, if I'm not with you, they will kill you!"

Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the design of this stone chamber was to prevent her from escaping. It could only be opened from the outside to the inside, and there was no way to open it from the inside to the outside.

She said hatefully, "I would rather die outside than be trapped in this dark stone chamber. Goodbye!"

After saying that, she walked out quickly.

Yan Muqing was so angry that he raised his fist and smashed it hard on the stone door. Even though blood was oozing out from between his fingers, he didn't care.

His face was ferocious, like a ghost.

He roared angrily, "Why, why do you have to escape? What good is there in that small palace?"

Concubine Rong stumbled out and entered the inner hall of the study.

Just then, the butler heard the footsteps and came out to check. He asked in surprise, "You, why are you out? Where is the master?"

Rong Fei did not hesitate and immediately picked up the inkstone and smashed it hard on his head.

While he was dodging, she ran out.

As she ran, she shouted, "Help! Someone is robbing me in broad daylight!"

The housekeeper's face turned pale with fear. He immediately shouted angrily: "Come here, catch her quickly, and don't let her scream loudly. The Royal Guards just left!"

When Concubine Rong heard this, her screams became even sharper.

She cried out, "Help me, someone come quickly!"

Two servants held her down and covered her mouth tightly.

Unable to scream, she bit their hands fiercely.

The housekeeper said angrily: "Quick, lock her up again. If it's too late, I'm afraid she won't be able to hide anymore!"

Concubine Rong was dragged away, and she felt completely hopeless.

I was about to escape, so why did I fail at the last moment?

How can this be good?

Just when she was feeling confused, the door of the study was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and then many royal guards rushed in.

When she saw the leader, Rong Fei's eyes were instantly filled with light.

She ignored the blood in her mouth and pushed the servant's hand away, shouting hoarsely: "Zhan Yihou, save me!"

Zhan Yan's whole body was shaking violently, and he quickly said, "Kill!"

Many imperial guards attacked the servants. He went straight to Concubine Rong and kicked the servant who was restraining her away.

He grabbed Concubine Rong's arm and asked with concern, "My Lady, are you okay?"

Concubine Rong shook her head in fear: "I'm fine, how is the emperor? Is he okay? This is all done by Yan Muqing. He wants revenge. I have him locked up in the underground stone chamber!"

Zhan Yan wrapped her in his cloak, and soothed her gently, "The Emperor is no longer in danger. He is very concerned about you, so he ordered me to search the entire city for your whereabouts without sleep!"

Rong Fei's tears fell, and she sobbed sadly: "It's my fault, it's all my fault, I am responsible for it even if I die!"

Zhan Yan first ordered his men to help her onto the carriage, and then quickly led his men to the underground stone chamber.

However, he was one step too late. The stone chamber had already been opened and Yan Mucheng was rescued in the chaos.

Zhan Yan said coldly: "Follow the secret passage and chase him. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must catch him!"

"Yes!" The Royal Guards responded loudly and quickly entered the secret passage.

Concubine Rong was sent back to the palace. She was still in shock and cried loudly while hugging Princess Youyi.

Lin Yiwan first treated the wound on her wrist. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot.

Concubine Rong murmured in panic: "Madam Hou, I, did I really escape?"

Even though Princess Youyi was by her side, she still felt dazed and unreal.

Lin Yiwan answered confidently, "Yes, you've returned to the palace. You're protected by the Imperial Guards. That villain can't possibly kidnap you anymore!"

Concubine Rong lost the strength she had been holding and immediately fainted.

Princess Youyi was so frightened that she kept shouting, "Mother, Mother, how are you? Don't scare me!"
