After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Seeing the guard draw his sword to stab his daughter, Ye Fan's eyes widened, and without thinking, he rushed forward, grabbed the blade, and instantly blood flowed all over the ground.

Seeing this, the other henchmen stepped forward and kicked her away.

Ye Fan was kicked to the ground and his head slammed hard against the stone steps.

"Mother!" Miao Miao's eyes turned red with anger when she saw her mother injured, and the blood-red birthmark at the corner of her eye turned an unusual scarlet.

Just as Wang Lingling was feeling smug, she was suddenly thrown back by a force and fell heavily to the ground.

On the other side, Miao Xingren suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and then blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Miaomiao!"

……

Upon hearing the news brought by his subordinates, Fu Yizhou hurriedly returned to his residence.

When he returned, he saw Miao Miao lying on the bed with a pale face. Ye Fan cried his eyes out, his eyes bloodshot.

Upon seeing this, his eyes instantly turned icy cold.

Where is Wang Lingling?

"The princess is waiting for you in the main hall!"

When Wang Lingling saw that Fu Yizhou had finally returned, she ran over to him, feeling wronged.

"Crown Prince, that bastard is a monster..."

"Who are you calling a bastard?" Fu Yizhou looked at her expressionlessly.

Seeing his coldness towards her, Wang Lingling felt even more aggrieved and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Fu Yizhou's sleeve.

"It's that bitch's kid!"

Fu Yizhou looked down at her coldly, his deep eyes filled with darkness, which sent chills down one's spine.

"Brother Crown Prince, what's wrong?"

Fu Yizhou remained silent and withdrew his sleeve.

"Go back first, I'll handle things. Also, don't tell anyone what happened today, or you know what will happen!"

When Wang Lingling saw Fu Yizhou looking so terrifying for the first time, she nodded blankly.

Back in the room, Fu Yizhou looked at Miao Miao's unconscious face and asked, "How is Miao Miao?"

Ye Fan looked at him with disgust, but held her daughter's hand tightly.

It's all because of Fu Yizhou; if it weren't for him, Miao Miao wouldn't have been injured.

Knowing she was blaming him, Fu Yizhou pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

Ye Fan took care of his daughter for a long time, but eventually his body couldn't hold on any longer and he fainted.

Fortunately, Fu Yizhou stayed by her side and caught her as she fell.

Miao Miao was unconscious for three days and three nights. Everyone in the mansion was trembling with fear, afraid that the Crown Prince would blame her.

On the fourth night, a man in black suddenly entered Miao Miao's room, quietly placed a black worm into her body, and then left silently.

The next day, Miao Miao opened her eyes, and her pale face gradually returned to normal.

Seeing that his daughter was better, Ye Fan finally smiled.

Seeing Miaomiao lively and energetic again, and thinking about how Miaomiao suddenly recovered, the smile on her lips faded.

During the five years she was with Miao Xingren, she was not unaware that he often used people as test subjects or raised poisonous insects, but she was afraid to hear anything bad about her daughter.

Seeing her furrowed brows, Fu Yizhou walked over.

"Miao Xingren is now the leader of the Wuling clan. Not all Gu techniques are bad, so don't worry too much!"

Ye Fan looked at him and couldn't help but sneer, "Crown Prince, don't forget who started this whole thing. Miao Miao's injury is definitely related to you!"

Fu Yizhou was speechless after being rebuked, and after a long while he finally said in a low voice, "...I will give Miaomiao an explanation!"

Li An, who was standing some distance away, was almost speechless with shock. He hadn't misheard, had he? His master's tone had sounded rather humble just now!

Ye Fan really hated Fu Yizhou; he couldn't help but feel disgusted whenever he saw him.

Fu Yizhou wasn't oblivious, but he still stubbornly wanted to appear in front of her every day.

After putting Miaomiao to sleep, Ye Fan came out and gently closed the door. When he turned around, he bumped into Fu Yizhou, who had a stern face.

The two were very close, and Ye Fan subconsciously stepped back.

Fu Yizhou, with a cold look in his eyes, pulled her away.

"Fu Yizhou, what are you trying to do now?" Ye Fan forcefully shook off his hand.

Feeling the warmth of his touch on his hands, Ye Fan disgustedly wiped his hands with his clothes.

"..."

Seeing her actions, Fu Yizhou's eyes reddened with anger: "Do you think I'm that hateful to you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan seemed to find it amusing and gave a cold smile.

"Fu Yizhou, please get this straight. You ignored my wishes and trapped us here, and you even allowed that princess to hurt Miaomiao. And you expect me to be calm and collected towards you!"

"Also, let me tell you, I have a husband, my husband is Miao Xingren, and we have Miao Miao..."

"you shut up!"

Ye Fan's words only fueled Fu Yizhou's anger, his cold, piercing phoenix eyes flashing with icy rage.

"..."

Ye Fan didn't want to get entangled with him, so he turned and left.

Watching her resolute back, Fu Yizhou clenched his fists.

……

The barbarian uprising quickly spread, and the Central Plains, wanting to unify the country but not wanting to damage the harmony among the people, had no choice but to send envoys to negotiate peace.

But everyone knew that going there meant never returning, so no one dared to go.

Without anyone from the imperial court coming, Miao Xingren was trapped there and could not return.

Ye Fan originally knew nothing about Miao Xingren's situation, but unexpectedly, he overheard the servants discussing it in the mansion that day.

"Have you heard? Those barbarians are getting restless again, shouting for a fight every day!"

"I've heard about it too. That Lord Miao is really unlucky; he's been imprisoned there!"

"That's right, nobody dares to go now. I think he's probably doomed!"

When Fu Yizhou returned, he saw Ye Fan looking preoccupied, and he knew that she already knew about Miao Xingren.

"Your Highness, I beg you, please save my husband!"

Ye Fan didn't know anyone else, and the only one who could save Miao Xingren right now was Fu Yizhou.

Looking at her pained little face and red eyes, she must have been crying just now.

The thought that she was shedding tears for another man darkened Fu Yizhou's deep eyes.

"The barbarians are in a very volatile mood right now, and even the court officials dare not go. Why should I, the king, go and suffer this ordeal!"

Tears streamed down Ye Fan's face as she reached out and grabbed the man's sleeve. "Your Highness, I know you must have a way. Please!"

Seeing her reddened eyes from crying, her delicate face covered in tears, and her fragility aroused Fu Yizhou's desire.

He didn't know why, but looking at her face easily stirred up the deepest desire in his heart!

He moved closer to Ye Fan, his voice low and hoarse: "What benefit would I gain from doing something so thankless and exhausting?"

Ye Fan stared blankly at him, her eyes red from crying: "What does the Crown Prince want?"

Fu Yizhou had been waiting for her to say those words. He curled his lips into a wicked smile, his eyes filled with longing.

"I want you!"

Ye Fan frowned: "I don't know what Your Highness means!"

Fu Yizhou raised an eyebrow: "Give me a child like Miao Miao, and I'll bring Miao Xingren back!"
