Sickish Prince is Scheming - C326

King Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction. Up until now, he still had no plans to deal with Ying Ying. If he succeeded this time, he would definitely bring Ying Ying back to the palace and have her become his concubine.

“Imperial Concubine Rong …” Of course, Ying Ying also understood Shang Yiqing’s intentions. Just as she was about to rush forward, she was suddenly stopped by Dongfang Hao. Dongfang Hao whispered, “Don’t be anxious, let’s hear what Consort Rong has to say first.”

Shang Yiqing looked at King Xuan and smiled without fear, “King Xuan, tell me your conditions.”

“Good!” I like dealing with happy people! ” Prince Xuan’s smile faded. “It’s not impossible for me to let Imperial Physician Shang go …”

Before he could finish, Shang Yiqing’s expression softened and he asked urgently, “Then what do you mean?”

“What I mean is …” King Xuan pointed at Shang Yiqing with the oil-paper umbrella. “I can release Imperial Physician Shang, but you definitely need to stay.”

Before Shang Yiqing could say anything, Ying Ying had already rushed in front of her and said in a clear voice, “That won’t do, if Concubine Wang falls into your hands, won’t it be a dead end?”

King Xuan didn’t look at Ying Ying, but shifted his gaze to Shang Yiqing’s face and pressed her, “I only want to ask you a question?”

What else could be done? Was she really going to implicate Ying Ying, Dongfang Hao, and the others? Moreover, King Xuan had already promised to let Father go. So what if she sacrificed herself? Thinking of this, Shang Yiqing steeled her heart, pursed her lips and nodded at King Xuan: “Ok, I promise you, as long as you release my father, I will let you know if you want to kill me or not.”

“Imperial Concubine Rong …” When she had returned to Dongyu Country, she had promised her brother that she would protect Shang Yiqing. Shang Yiqing had stood up for her so many times, how could she not save him?

“Ying Ying, don’t say anymore. I’ve already made up my mind.” Shang Yiqing raised her head and nodded at King Xuan, “Let go of my father.”

King Xuan nodded, “Alright.” With that, he ordered his subordinates to release Shang Tiancheng. Shang Tiancheng stumbled towards Shang Yiqing, “Qing’er, hurry up and leave. Don’t worry about dad. King Xuan will not let you off.”

“Father, leave quickly.” It was as if they were leaving this world for life. Shang Yiqing didn’t want to see her father with her runny nose and tearful eyes. She turned around and said to Dongfang Hao, “Dongfang Hao, my dad will be troubling you. Take him away quickly.”

At this moment, King Xuan had been planning something. Although he had promised Shang Yiqing to let Shang Tiancheng off the hook, Ying Ying was naturally reluctant to deal with him. He was the dignified Qi King of Dongyu Country. It did not seem good if he offended Dongyu Country because of this matter, but seeing the intimate relationship between Dongfang Hao and Ying Ying made him feel extremely displeased. It turned out that the person Ying Ying said she liked was Dongfang Hao the last time.

Dongfang Hao didn’t seem to have any expression on his face as he stepped forward to support Shang Tiancheng. “Imperial Physician Shang, I believe that if anything happens to you, Royal Consort Rong won’t be in a good mood. You should come with us.”

Ying Ying had not expected Dongfang Hao to say this. Her face was pale with anger as she pointed her sword at Dongfang Hao. “You …”

Dongfang Hao didn’t seem to notice Ying Ying’s displeasure. He only calmly said, “Ying Ying, let’s go.”

“If I don’t leave, then I can’t leave the grand imperial concubine here by herself. She’s helped me so many times before, how can I just leave her behind?” Ying Ying was moved, her eyes were rimmed red, and were it not for the crisis, she would have already been on the verge of tears. She rushed to Shang Yiqing’s side and said firmly: “We must stay and stay together! I won’t leave you behind! ”

Shang Yiqing’s expression changed as she said, “Dongfang Hao, quickly take my father and Ying Ying and leave. Don’t worry about me!”

Dongfang Hao grabbed Shang Tiancheng with one hand and Ying Ying with the other. “Ying Ying, let’s go.”

Ying Ying suddenly shook off Dongfang Hao’s hand and said with hatred, “I’m not leaving! Dongfang Hao, I originally thought you were a hero, but I didn’t expect you to be so afraid of death.

Dongfang Hao panicked. “Ying Ying, listen to me. Since we can’t save Princess Rong, there’s no use staying here. Why don’t we leave this place first and plan things out later?”

“The Qi King said it well!” Duke Xuan laughed heartily, “You can rest assured. I’ve said that I will only leave Princess Hua-Yang alone and I will not go back on my word. You may leave.”

Ying Ying was fuming as she tugged on Shang Yiqing’s sleeve. “Princess Rong, don’t be an idiot. Come with us.” Dongfang Hao tried to pull her up, but she shook him off.

Shang Yiqing forcefully pushed Ying Ying away. “Hurry up and leave, don’t delay any longer!”

“No way!” Ying Ying became stubborn. She had no intention of leaving.

Shang Yiqing let out a long sigh, placed the sword horizontally across her neck and said in a deep voice, “Ying Ying, don’t force me. If you don’t want my blood to splatter, then take my father with you.”

“Qing Er, don’t be like this …” Shang Tiancheng shouted, he was not willing to see his precious daughter fight with her life on the line.

Ying Ying was still unwilling to leave, so she took a step forward. He didn’t expect Shang Yiqing to lower the sword in her hand. As the tip of the sword pierced into the flesh, a bloody wound appeared on her neck.

Ying Ying shrieked in fright. “Concubine …”

“Hurry up and leave!” Shang Yiqing said through gritted teeth.

“Qing Er …” Shang Tiancheng cried out in pain.

Dongfang Hao held onto Ying Ying with one hand and Shang Tiancheng with the other. He then nodded to Shang Guanqing and said, “Princess Rong, we will take our leave now.” As he spoke, he pulled on Ying Ying and Shang Tiancheng’s throats, not allowing them to cry.

The three horses galloped for several kilometers before Dongfang Hao finally stopped his horse and said to the two, “I know that you all want to put Princess Rong in danger, but with our strength, we are simply unable to break through King Xuan’s encirclement. Rather than just sitting there and waiting for death, we might as well use some other method.”

“Then you don’t care about Princess Rong?” Ying Ying couldn’t help but cry.

Shang Tiancheng weakly replied, “My Qing Er, I’m really afraid that she might have some misfortune.”

“You’ve all misunderstood me.” Dongfang Hao frowned. “It’s not that we don’t care about consort, we just have more important things to do.”

“What is it?” Ying Ying asked, puzzled.

“I think the reason why Duke Xuan wanted to capture Princess Rong is not because he wants to kill her, but because he wants to leave her alive. I think that after Prince Rong’s army arrives, he will threaten Prince Rong, and right now, what I’m most worried about is not the safety of Princess Rong, but the safety of your emperor.”

“Your majesty?” Shang Tiancheng’s eyes widened in shock. He had no idea that King Xuan was plotting a rebellion.

Dongfang Hao saw that he didn’t understand, so he could only explain the whole situation. Finally, he reiterated, “I suspect that King Xuan is trying to capture Princess Hua-Yang on the one hand, and making a move on the other.”

“Then what should we do?” Ying Ying asked as she wiped away her tears.

Dongfang Hao looked up at the falling snow. He wiped the snow water on his face with his hand and sighed. “Right now, I only hope that the King Rong’s army can rush back as soon as possible. Only by doing this can we resolve the nation’s danger.”

“We can go find the emperor and explain everything to him. If we allow wangfei to remain in King Xuan’s hands, he’ll certainly interfere in this matter.” A plan formed in Ying Ying’s mind.

“No way!” Dongfang Hao and Shang Tiancheng rejected at the same time, “Since Duke Xuan has captured Imperial Concubine Rong, he must be confident in himself. Furthermore, the imperial concubine is still in his hands. If we do this, wouldn’t it harm her?”
