I just want to live a good life

Chapter 361 The Emperor Owes Me a Favor

"Dad, the prince can do this for me, he really cares about me."

"Humph, he has the evidence in his hands but he still wants to frame you. Isn't it normal for him to go to this extent?

He really put a lot of effort into forcing your sister to go back by using this method!"

"The means used by the Crown Prince this time were indeed not fair enough. I think he was forced into a corner. Just imagine how you would feel if your grandfather asked your mother to divorce you and asked your uncle to kidnap your mother."

"How can it be the same?"

"What's the difference?"

"Your mother gave birth to five of you brothers and sisters. She has the final say in this mansion."

"If mom hadn't given birth to us siblings, would dad have agreed to the divorce?"

Xia Lian stopped talking.

"It's the same, Dad. The prince's affection for my little sister is the same as yours for mother."

"Have you been locked up and become stupid? Why are you speaking for the prince as soon as you come back?

Even if he was right and he had feelings for Yan'er, what could he do? Could he fight against the Queen for Yan'er? If not, Yan'er would be in trouble sooner or later if she followed him.

This time, she was not only kidnapped but also chased by assassins on the road, and her life was almost lost. I didn't expect the queen to be so cruel and actually wanted to kill Yan'er.

She is very calculating. If Yan'er gets into an accident while out in the Imperial City, no one will suspect her."

"Dad, have you never doubted that letter? Could it be that someone deliberately instigated it?"

"Well, I had doubts, but the facts did not allow me to doubt. Think about what the palace is like. Anyone who enters or leaves will be questioned, but Yan'er, a living person, was kidnapped and no one noticed. How could it be possible if there was no one in the palace secretly operating?

And don't forget that Yan'er disappeared right under Wei Zhe's nose. Although Wei Zhe is His Majesty's man, the Wei family relied on the Queen's family to rise to power."

"But I still think this is strange. Even if the queen did all this, how did the person who sent the letter know about it? What was his purpose in sending you this letter?"

"No matter what his purpose is, it is enough for us to see the queen's true face."

"Father, why don't you take the letter to the Emperor and ask him to make the decision for my little sister."

"Just based on a letter of unknown origin? Regardless of whether the emperor believes it or not, even if he does, do you think the emperor will break up with the queen for Yan'er? At that time, the queen will only blatantly torture Yan'er."

"..."

Xia Changze was silent. The fight with the prince changed his opinion of him.

The prince said that if he lost a fight with him, he would never ask Xiaomei to leave again. He believed that the prince was sincere to Xiaomei.

But if the person standing between these two people is the Queen, then he really doesn't know whether he should support the Prince.

"Dad, what are your plans next?"

"Before, your sister was concerned about you and didn't dare to divorce the prince. Now that your case has come to light, I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask the emperor to allow them to divorce. Let the emperor use the favor he owes me on Yan'er."

Xia Changze suddenly felt a little pity for the Crown Prince. If the result had been like this, he should have punched him less in the afternoon.

But he didn't know that his poor prince was cursing him in front of the mirror.

"Damn Xia Changze, who taught him to only hit people in the face when fighting?"

"Your Highness, according to your wishes, I have informed Concubine Xia that Xia Changze has been released home."

"What did she say?"

"Concubine Xia wants to see you."

Mu Yunting was delighted, but the next moment when he saw his colorful face in the mirror, his joy disappeared without a trace.

"Just tell her I'm busy with work and ask her to take good care of herself. I'll go see her in a few days."

"Your Highness, Concubine Xia has asked Cai Ya to wait at the gate of the mansion for an entire afternoon in order to see you. I'm afraid she has something important to tell you. Are you really not going to see her?"

"No, how can I go to meet her like this? Besides, what she wants to tell me is probably about Xia Changze's case. Now that she has been released, what else can she say?"

After thinking for a while, Mu Yunting added: "Go there in person and ask her what's the matter."

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate, what if Concubine Xia just wants to express her true feelings to you?"

Mu Yunting felt miserable. He was waiting and looking forward to bringing the person back. He just wanted to hold the sweet and soft girl in his arms, but Xia Changze came in.

This guy is so annoying. If it weren't for the deep relationship between him and Xia Qingyan, I would have wanted to kill him.

Is it that he doesn't want to confide in each other?

Having his face hit like this would either make people feel sorry for him or laugh at him. Judging from Xia Qingyan's attitude today, it was most likely the latter.

That wasn’t enough to make him upset!

Thinking of this, Mu Yunting said impatiently: "Just go when I told you to go. Why are you talking so much nonsense now?"

Ye Yin had no choice but to obey the order and leave, but as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was stopped.

"Wait, don't say I'm busy with official business, just say I'm injured."

Ye Yin understood what the prince meant. He wanted him to test Concubine Xia's feelings.

Su Nuan sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt for an entire afternoon, her face sometimes full of joy and sometimes full of sadness.

My mood felt like I was on a roller coaster.

Sometimes I am immersed in the great joy of becoming a mother, and sometimes I am worried about my child's future.

If Mu Yunting's child is a daughter, she will be fine. With her love and care, she will definitely be able to grow up without worries.

But what if it was a son? First of all, Xun Zheng, that vicious woman, would definitely try every means to harm him.

Moreover, Mu Yunting would never let her leave now that she had a child. Even if he let her leave, he would not let her take the child with her.

A child without a mother is like a grass in a garden, trampled on by anyone.

To give birth or not, Su Nuan fell into an unprecedented dilemma.

She urgently needed to meet Mu Yunting. Only by seeing that person could she get an answer.

"Your Highness hasn't come back yet?"

I don’t know how many times I’ve asked this question.

Chun Liu replied carefully, "He should be back. His Highness sent a message saying that the real murderer who killed Prince Ankang has been caught, the case has been closed, and the Third Young Master has been released."

"really?"

Su Nuan's eyes lit up.

"It must be true that His Highness sent someone to deliver the message."

Su Nuan was delighted. Mu Yunting had caught the real murderer just after she returned and the case was closed. The fact that it was done so quickly showed that he had been prepared beforehand.

Although he went too far in this matter, the result was good in the end.

Su Nuan lowered her head and glanced at her belly, thinking that for the sake of the child, she would not bother with him about this matter.

But then she thought about it and felt something was wrong. Since Mu Yunting had returned home, why didn't he come to see her?

Are you angry because of what Third Brother said?

While I was daydreaming, Meixiang came to pass on a message, "My Lady, Yeyin wants to see you."

Ye Yin actually came in person, so it must be something important. Su Nuan quickly asked Mei Xiang to bring him in.

"I am here to visit Concubine Xia on the orders of His Highness."

Su Nuan asked suspiciously, "Why doesn't he come himself?"

Ye Yin seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

It was the first time that Su Nuan saw this expression on Ye Yin’s face, and she found it even more strange.

"What happened to him, Your Highness?"

"Your Highness is injured."

Ye Yin tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, making himself look serious.

Su Nuan was immediately panicked. The last time Mu Yunting's arm was injured, Ye Yin didn't have such an expression even though the wound was so long. How serious was the injury?
