Chapter 140 The Qin Family is Gone.
When the Emperor arrived, Qin Yan was lying on the couch, barely alive.
"Imperial Physician, how is she?" the Emperor asked.
The imperial physician stood aside and shook his head. "Princess Cheng'an has just been injured, and her heart and mind have been severely damaged, so she is already physically weak."
"Now that he's swallowed so much water, he's probably barely hanging on."
I don't even know if I'll wake up.
The Emperor glanced at Zhai Rongyu, but ultimately did not order her to treat him.
After all, Cheng'an had just tried to kill her...
When I arrived, the palace servants had already recounted what had happened.
Qin Yan intended to assassinate him first, and the third brother pushed her into the water out of necessity.
The Emperor sighed.
"Enough. She's only interested in harming people; even I can't protect her."
I just feel guilty towards Brother Qin...
Qin Yan, who was on the couch, suddenly coughed and slowly woke up.
Her vision blurred, but she vaguely saw Zhai Rongyu standing in a corner behind a bright yellow robe. She immediately lunged at her as if she had lost her mind.
I don't know where the power came from.
"You bitch, you bitch! I'll kill you!"
The eunuch beside the emperor reacted swiftly, blocking his way and shrilly:
"Escort!"
"Quick escort!"
The guards quickly stopped Qin Yan and pushed her to the ground.
Jun Ce pulled Zhai Rongyu behind him, protecting her.
The eunuch shrieked, "This Princess Cheng'an has truly lost her mind! She dares to murder the emperor!"
Qin Yan staggered and fell to the ground. She saw Jun Ce protecting Zhai Rongyu, and her eyes were filled with pain.
She lay on the ground, coughed heavily a few times, whimpered twice, and then stopped breathing.
Zhai Rongyu sighed deeply.
You reap what you sow.
The ways of fate in this world truly cannot be forced.
The emperor was both angry and helpless.
"Alas, the Qin family is now extinct..."
He looked up at the sky outside the window, then at Qin Yan on the ground, and waved to the eunuch with a solemn expression.
“Bury the body of the Princess of Cheng’an in the Qin family ancestral cemetery.”
He didn't want to pursue her crime of regicide anymore.

When Zhai Rongyu returned to the Minister's residence, she saw Xue Qingchuan standing outside the gate, looking anxious.
"Master Xue, what brings you here?"
She stepped forward, a sudden wave of panic washing over her.
[Could something have happened to my sister?]
Upon seeing Zhai Rongyu, Xue Qingchuan immediately went to greet her: "Second Miss Zhai! Mu Ling has gone missing!"
He focused all his attention on the villagers, and only left the house after confirming that their conditions were no longer relapsing.
But Zhai Muling has disappeared!
He searched the entire village of Hemu, but couldn't find her anywhere.
Several villagers said they had seen a few unfamiliar faces in the village.
Later, for some unknown reason, he left again.
He felt uneasy, sensing that the matter was not so simple, so he immediately ran to the Minister's residence to report the news.
"How could it just disappear like that?" Zhai Rongyu asked anxiously.
Xue Qingchuan lowered his head with some self-reproach, "It's all my fault. I took her to Hemu Village to treat some kind of epidemic... and ended up losing her..."
Zhai Rongyu's expression suddenly turned serious.
[It must be Jun Yinghuai who took my sister away!]
He was deposed as crown prince, and after revealing his true parentage to the emperor, he's now penniless and probably even more insane!
No, I have to find my sister as soon as possible!
After a moment's thought, Zhai Rongyu led Xue Qingchuan into the Minister's residence, and the two headed straight for Haoyuezhai.
I wonder where that madman hid my sister.
Now that he's made a desperate gamble, he certainly won't simply hide the person in the mansion!
They probably have somewhere else to go.
She released the Boundless Divine Turtle and placed a handkerchief from Zhai Muling in front of it.
The Boundless Divine Turtle sniffed, and a Bagua diagram appeared on its shell.
[As expected, he wasn't in that madman's house.]
Xue Qingchuan was astonished, "Miss Zhai, this..."
He stepped forward: "Where is Mu Ling now?"
"Judging from this location, it should be a secret passage in a residence within the capital city," Zhai Rongyu said.
"I'm going to rescue them. Valley Master Xue, could you please go to the Regent's Palace and tell Brother Huaixu about this?"
He has his own decision.
"Okay! I'll go right away!" Xue Qingchuan immediately set off to find Jun Ce.
Zhai Rong waved the talisman and disappeared from the spot.
The Regent's Palace.
Jun Ce listened to Xue Qingchuan's account, his brows furrowed deeply.
My elder brother has complicated feelings for Jun Yinghuai, and we must not let him die at Rong'er's hands, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
His dark, deep eyes narrowed slightly.
He guessed Zhai Rongyu's intention almost immediately.
"Alone," Jun Ce raised his chin and coldly ordered, "Go and reveal Jun Yinghuai's hiding place to Consort Shu. Be quick."
"Yes!" The figure immediately accepted the order.
But he was secretly cursing in his heart.
The Lord's skill in using underhanded tactics is becoming increasingly refined...
When Zhai Muling woke up, she found herself kneeling on the couch, with her hands and feet locked up.
She immediately realized that Jun Yinghuai had found her again.
Zhai Muling looked up and surveyed the room.
The room was dark and windowless, with only a candle burning brightly.
It should not be the original Crown Prince's residence.
"You're awake." Jun Yinghuai's low voice came from the shadows, startling Zhai Muling.
"Where...where are you...?"
A figure in a purple robe emerged from the shadows.
The candlelight flickered, casting shadows on Jun Yinghuai's face.
Zhai Muling crouched back and crawled on her knees until her feet touched the wall, leaving her nowhere to retreat.
Her body trembled, and the metal chains jingled.
Jun Yinghuai gave a chilling laugh, climbed onto the bed, knelt before her, and reached out to stroke her cheek.
"Mu Ling, are you afraid of me?"
He slowly and deliberately savored her fear.
Being afraid is better than feeling nothing at all.
Zhai Muling bit her lip and turned her head away, avoiding his touch.
Jun Yinghuai's eyes suddenly darkened.
Even after being reborn, the distance between them remains so vast.
He wasn't in her heart!
Jun Yinghuai chuckled softly, but his eyes were filled with endless hatred. Suddenly, he grabbed her chin and forced her to turn her head to look at him.
Why are you avoiding me?
"Do you know how long I've been looking for you?!"
He suddenly went berserk, tightening his grip, and a red mark immediately appeared on Zhai Muling's snow-white chin. She hissed softly in pain.
Jun Yinghuai remained oblivious, murmuring, "I love you so much, why won't you love me back?"
"Why!!"
His voice carried a deep-seated hostility.
"How can matters of the heart be forced?" Zhai Muling said breathlessly.
She looked at him, somewhat startled.
"reluctantly?"
Jun Yinghuai suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes reddening with laughter. "No matter how many times we start over, it's still the same ending, hahahaha..."
Zhai Muling softened her tone and pleaded, "Please let me go..."
"Let me go, and I'll pretend nothing ever happened."
"You can still be the crown prince."
"Crown Prince?" Jun Yinghuai chuckled casually. "I'm no longer the Crown Prince."
"I have nothing left now."
"Only you are left."
He cupped Zhai Muling's face in his hands, his gaze infatuated. "Muling, if you're unwilling to marry me openly and honestly, then stay with me in this filthy hell for the rest of your life."
"OK?"
