Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C946 The palm of 946
If Ye Man had hurried to Jindu, he knew that the Grand Preceptor’s estate would have lost its use. Once those monsters were released, the consequences would be unthinkable.
After thinking about it, Liu Ruo Qing said, “How about … Let’s just let An Yu kill Ye Man directly. If he’s dead, then those monsters won’t be of any use anymore. ”
Yan Yuan shook his head, and said: “We cannot kill Ye Man for now, we do not know what the situation is like. Before we know the method to deal with the monster, Ye Man cannot die.”
Hearing Yan Yuan’s words, Liu Ruo Qing did not say anything else. It was true that he could not kill Ye Man now, moreover, An Yu might not listen to them.
They still didn’t know what An Yu was planning at the moment.
But there was one thing he needed to do, which was to rush into the capital before Ye Man could do anything.
After that, they did not waste any more time and rushed back to the capital.
The group had arrived at the capital city three or four days early, which would have taken them ten days to travel.
“We’ll be in the capital city by tomorrow. We’ll stay here for the night.”
“Alright.”
After they were done with their accommodations, the waiter brought them to a separate courtyard at the back of the tavern. Because they had a lot of people, and Yan Yuan did not want anyone to disturb them, he took care of the entire courtyard.
Liu Ruo Qing stepped into the backyard, and in the blink of an eye, she saw that Xia Tao Hua’s face was pale and fine beads of perspiration trickled down his forehead.
Her heart sank as she quickly walked forward. “Are you alright?”
“It’s nothing, just rest for a while.”
Qi Feng, who had been standing behind Yan Yuan the entire time, looked straight ahead, but when he heard Xia Tao Hua’s voice, he subconsciously raised his head.
The fist under his sleeve also tightened up as he looked at Yan Yuan. He pursed his lips but didn’t say anything, forcing himself to retract his gaze from Xia Tao Hua’s body.
When Xia Tao Hua raised his eyes, he saw that Qi Feng had shifted his gaze away from her body.
As he lowered his eyes, he looked towards Qi Feng’s direction without batting an eyelid, and retracted the dark light in his eyes.
The group of people stayed at the inn, but that night, they were awoken by a mournful cry, “Crown Prince!”
The voice carried a sense of hysteria, waking up all the people living in the backyard.
“It’s uncle!”
Liu Ruo Qing got up from Yan Yuan’s embrace and quickly put on her clothes. Seeing her so anxious, she did not stop her, but put on a robe instead and followed her out.
The other guards had also woken up and appeared outside the old man’s door.
When Yan Yuan pushed the door and entered, the few of them saw the old man sitting on the bed with a blank look on his face.
“Imperial Duke, Crown Prince, Young Madam, Young Miss …”
He kept repeating the names, his face full of grief, as if he were lost in some painful memory and couldn’t get out.
Yan Yuan turned around and said to Qi Feng who was standing at the side, “Have Xia Tao Hua come over and let him take a look.”
Qi Feng’s body froze, he did not say anything, and after answering, he turned and left.
Although Xia Tao Hua heard the movements in the old man’s room and woke up, she did not go over immediately. Other than her decent medical skills, she did not have anything that could help.
If Yan Yuan needed it, he would naturally send someone to get her. Thus, she could only sit on the bed and stared blankly.
For no reason, she suddenly thought of Qi Feng, the person who made people feel at ease despite being like her master, and when she thought of the way he had looked after her during the day, her heart unconsciously sunk.
After a long while, he laughed at himself again. His eyes flashed with sorrow.
“Princess.”
Just at this moment, Qi Feng’s voice sounded from outside. Xia Tao Hua, who was still thinking about him a moment ago, stiffened for a moment, as he looked towards the door.
The person outside saw that she could not reply, and after a moment, she called out, “Princess?”
‘s voice sounded again, bringing him back to his senses, and he answered, “He’s here.”
He got up and opened the door, only to see Qi Feng standing outside, still standing perfectly straight, looking straight ahead.
“Princess, the Prince wants you to go over.”
Xia Tao Hua looked at him with a cold gaze, then nodded: “Ok.”
Without looking at Qi Feng, she walked out of the room and headed towards the old man’s room.
When Xia Tao Hua went in, everyone in the room, other than Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing, had already left.
“You’re here? Show him. ”
This was his usual attitude towards outsiders. There was nothing amiss with him, but Liu Ruo Qing, who was at the side, frowned when she saw her.
From beginning to end, she had not been able to understand what Yan Yuan’s situation was.
Although she said that he did not like Xia Tao Hua, he actually took the initiative to bring her to the King Jing Palace, and even brought her along when they went out. It could be said that he liked her, but it didn’t seem like it.
There were several times when she wanted to ask him what kind of attitude he had towards Xia Tao Hua, but she was afraid that he would think too much of her, so she would just swallow her words when they reached his mouth.
On the contrary, it was Xia Tao Hua who was accustomed to his attitude. After all, ever since she came to the Easternum, she had not seen any kind of expression from Yan Yuan.
However, Xia Tao Hua did not ask for too much. As long as his mother and brother Crown Prince were well, anything else was nothing to her.
She nodded at Yan Yuan and then walked towards the crazy old man.
The old man was completely immersed in his own world, completely unresponsive to everything around him. There was an unconcealable grief on his face, as if the people around him could feel the grief and despair in his heart even though they had never experienced what he had experienced.
Xia Tao Hua walked forward and raised his hand to feel his pulse, but when his hand touched the old man who was originally in pain, a cold killing intent flashed past his eyes, and he raised his hand to attack Xia Tao Hua.
Everyone in the room had noticed it, even Xia Tao Hua, who was using all his Qi, was able to feel the strong killing intent. She was startled, and was unable to dodge the palm strike in time, but was pushed to the side by someone, and when he looked up, he saw that Qi Feng had received the palm strike from the insane old man, and was struck hard by the wind, and stopped after a long while.
“Puff …”
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Qi Feng’s mouth, shocking him to the point that his face turned pale white.
