Chapter 297 The Crown Prince is in Danger
In Prince Yu's Mansion, Zhao Yucheng was standing respectfully in a side hall, reporting in detail to the almighty Holy Son about a series of major events that had occurred in the capital in recent times.
"What? The princess of Miao is getting married to the prince of Xia?" After hearing the news, the Holy Son couldn't help but look shocked.
He eagerly asked, "Who is this Miao princess? Wasn't she lost when she was young? Isn't she the woman named Wang Xinyao?"
Faced with the Holy Son's barrage of questions, Zhao Yucheng hurriedly bowed deeply, then replied with deep trepidation:
"To reply to your Excellency, it's not Wang Xinyao, the Miao princess is actually someone else!"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Son was immediately anxious. He suddenly raised his voice and demanded sternly, "Tell me! Who exactly is this Miao princess?"
Feeling the Son of God's wrath about to erupt, Zhao Yucheng trembled with fear.
But he soon forced himself to calm down and replied tremblingly, "Your Excellency, it's Gou Chunmei, the adopted daughter of Gou Hongying, the Minister of History!"
As he spoke, he would secretly glance up at the Son of God from time to time, his eyes full of fear.
"How outrageous! Damn it!" The Son of God flew into a rage upon hearing this. Veins bulged on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was furious.
Zhao Yucheng was so frightened that he trembled all over, his face was as pale as paper, and he said with a trembling voice:
"Your Excellency, please calm down. I am ignorant and don't quite understand what you mean. Please explain clearly."
"Idiot! You've only just told me now that the Princess of Miao is Gou Chunge. Why don't you hurry to the Crown Prince's Mansion and tie up Gou Chunmei!" The Saint's face was filled with rage, with veins bulging on his forehead.
His eyes widened as he shouted sternly, "This matter must be handled personally by you. You must bring the person before this Saint Son before they can perform the Zhougong Ceremony!"
Although Zhao Yucheng was full of doubts, facing the majesty and orders of the Son of God, he dared not hesitate for a moment.
He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I will do as you say and will definitely live up to your trust!"
After saying this, he turned around and left in a hurry, stumbling as if an evil spirit was chasing him.
Because he was very aware of the ruthless methods of this venerable, if he failed in this mission, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.
Not only that, he also hoped to get the elixir from the Venerable that could help him break through to the Saint realm.
On the other side, in the new room of the Prince's Mansion, Wang Xinyao, dressed in a gorgeous wedding dress, sat upright on the edge of the bed, her beautiful eyes looking towards the door from time to time, her heart filled with anxiety.
She had been waiting for a long time, but the groom Zhao Haoxuan never showed up.
According to common sense, most of the guests in the mansion have left at this moment. Zhao Haoxuan should have dealt with the affairs outside and come to spend the night with her.
However, as time passed, there was still no movement.
Finally, Wang Xinyao could no longer sit still. She stood up and paced back and forth in the new room, unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands.
As time went on, her anxiety grew stronger.
Unable to bear it any longer, she decided to go out and find out what was going on. So she quickly walked to the door, gently pushed it open, and shouted outside, "Someone come!"
Soon, a burly and imposing man came running over. This man was Ye Fan, the commander of the guards at the Prince's Mansion.
"Commander Ye, why hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come yet? Where did he go?" Wang Xinyao looked anxious, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Fan in front of her, with a hint of questioning in her tone.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Ye Fan's forehead. His lips moved, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence: "Husband... Madam, His Highness... His Highness..."
Wang Xinyao's eyes suddenly turned cold, like two cold rays shooting straight at Ye Fan.
"Hurry up and tell me! Where did he go? If you keep hesitating, don't blame me for being rude!" Wang Xinyao's delicate body trembled slightly, and she said in a deep voice.
Ye Fan felt the powerful aura emanating from Wang Xinyao, and his heart trembled, no longer caring about anything else.
He quickly said, "His Highness...His Highness went to Miss Gou's place!"
After saying this, Ye Fan lowered his head like a deflated ball, not daring to look directly into Wang Xinyao's angry eyes.
"What?" After hearing Ye Fan's answer, Wang Xinyao felt a buzzing in her head and was completely stunned.
She never expected that the prince would abandon her on their wedding night and run away to Gou Chunmei.
It was clearly agreed before that his marriage with Gou Chunmei was just a fake one, and the purpose was just to stop the eldest prince of Miao, Chen Jingtao, from forcing a marriage.
At the same time, it was also to shut up the old antiques and others in the court who were making things difficult for Emperor Zhao Guoan.
They did this as a temporary measure, just to buy more time to find evidence of the identity of the real princess and the fake princess.
But now, is all this a lie?
As she thought about it, Wang Xinyao's eyes turned red involuntarily, and tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to roll down at any time.
At this time, Ye Fan saw Wang Xinyao so sad, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He quickly explained:
"Madam, please don't be angry. Perhaps His Highness really has been delayed by something important. He might come to you soon!"
However, just as Wang Xinyao was immersed in sadness and unable to extricate herself, suddenly, a familiar voice came to her ears.
That was Zhao Haoxuan's voice, clearly transmitted to her ears through the sound transmission note: "Xinyao, save me..."
Wang Xinyao's heart trembled suddenly. This is the Prince's Mansion!
What on earth happened that forced Zhao Haoxuan to ask for help from the outside world through the sound transmission note?
An ominous premonition came over her, and her heart was instantly filled with anxiety and worry.
She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, shouting loudly: "Quick! Find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, he might be in danger!"
At this moment, Zhao Yucheng, dressed in a black nightgown, rushed to the gate of the Prince's Mansion like lightning.
However, what he saw made him gasp.
There were people coming and going in the Prince's Mansion, and the lights were bright.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yucheng instinctively wanted to turn around and leave, but the majestic and cold face of the Son of God suddenly appeared in his mind. He immediately felt timid and could not move his feet at all.
After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and continued walking towards the depths of the Prince's Mansion.
Fortunately, Zhao Yucheng is extremely strong and his movements are agile and flexible. He moves among the crowd like a ghost.
After many hardships and dangers, he finally succeeded in reaching the side hall where Gou Chunmei lived.
At this moment, Gou Chunmei's face was flushed, her body was trembling slightly, and she exuded an alluring heat from her whole body because she had taken the aphrodisiac.
Despite this, she still gritted her teeth, endured the waves of discomfort coming from her body, and said softly over and over again to Zhao Haoxuan, who was also steaming and sitting beside her, "The woman you love most is Gou Chunmei!"
Zhao Haoxuan stared at her dully, repeating the same words mechanically: "The woman I love most is Gou Chunmei..."
Zhao Yucheng tiptoed into the room and noticed Zhao Haoxuan's abnormal condition at a glance.
He thought to himself: I might as well take this opportunity to get rid of this guy directly to avoid any trouble in the future.
Just as he was about to kill, suddenly, a noisy sound of footsteps came from far away, obviously a group of people were approaching outside the door.
"Brother Zhao, where are you?!" Wang Xinyao shouted anxiously, her voice full of anxiety and uneasiness.
However, the sound of approaching footsteps made Zhao Yucheng, who was hiding in the dark, feel nervous. He knew that he could no longer hide.
Taking advantage of Gou Chunmei's inattention, Zhao Yucheng seized the opportunity and swung out a palm, hitting her back of the neck hard.
Gou Chunmei didn't even have time to make a sound before her eyes went dark and she fainted on the ground.
Zhao Yucheng quickly put her into the cloth bag he had prepared in advance, then picked up the bag and ran out the door without looking back.
On the other side, Wang Xinyao finally arrived at the side hall panting.
Zhao Haoxuan's eyes were blurred, and he muttered to himself, "The woman I love most is Gou Chunmei..."
Hearing these words, Wang Xinyao's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably and slid down her fair cheeks.
At this moment, Wang Xinyao felt extremely regretful and self-blame.
She originally just wanted to play a little trick on her enemy, but she didn't expect it would lead to such serious consequences. She personally pushed her beloved Brother Zhao to another woman.
When she saw Zhao Haoxuan, who seemed to have lost his self-awareness, Wang Xinyao immediately realized that he must have been drugged.
