Chapter 2656: Chapter 2656: No Matter What, They Won’t Touch You

Of course, this still depends on whether the Emperor, Prince Zhan, and the others think of him. If they do, perhaps his days will become even more difficult.

"You, you bastards!"

"Retired Emperor, you should save your strength. All the palace maids and eunuchs along this path have already been cleared by the servants. No one will be able to hear your voice."

The Imperial Edict Eunuch listened to the words of the Retired Emperor and said one last sentence.

Fortunately, he was well-prepared, knowing that the Retired Emperor wouldn’t agree to go to the Supreme Palace so easily, so he had already sent people to drive away all the palace maids and eunuchs along the way.

In any case, he had received an order from Eunuch Fu to personally escort the Retired Emperor to the Supreme Palace.

"You..."

The Retired Emperor was speechless, taking a deep breath.

When did that unfilial son dare to defy him so much?

This was still when Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue were around. These past few years, that unfilial son wouldn’t have dared. Could it be that Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue had returned?

If that is truly the case, then it is troublesome. Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue cannot be in the Northern Lands, can they?

It must be said, the Retired Emperor was spot on. Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue were indeed in the Northern Lands. Of course, there wasn’t anything particular happening; they were just in Ying City waiting for the Emperor to send Gong Jian over.

...

In Ying City, it was now completely under Qian Jiyun’s control. Dowager Consort Yu and her son were directly thrown into prison, without anyone showing them any courtesy.

As for the idle prefect, although An Jiuyue did not deal with him harshly, he did not receive a pleasant face from her either. Now, all matters in the prefectural office were personally handled by Qian Jiyun and her.

In the dungeon.

Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince were not imprisoned separately but were rather locked up together.

"Consort, what do we do now? Father will send someone to rescue us, won’t he?" The Fifteenth Prince’s face and body were smeared with bloodstains, clearly having been tortured, but not too severely as he could still walk and talk.

But Dowager Consort Yu was a different story; she no longer seemed human, appearing ghost-like at a glance.

If it weren’t for the Fifteenth Prince knowing that the person lying on the ground was his mother, he would have been frightened to tears. It was simply too terrifying, and as a result, Dowager Consort Yu had spilled quite a bit of information.

"Consort, speak to me, what should we do? Should we bribe someone in prison to send a message to Father so he can dispatch troops to rescue us?"

Seeing Dowager Consort Yu motionless, the Fifteenth Prince was even more afraid and asked.

Hearing this, Dowager Consort Yu’s eyes rolled a few times, but eventually, she remained unmoved.

It’s likely that even the Retired Emperor himself is now in a situation where he cannot protect himself; how could he send troops to rescue them? He might even place all the blame for this failure on the two of them.

If so, the Retired Emperor might even wish for their deaths sooner rather than later.

"Consort, Consort!"

The Fifteenth Prince called out a few more times, desperately trying to bring Dowager Consort Yu back to her senses.

"Stop calling."

Dowager Consort Yu stopped him.

No matter how much they shouted now, it would be of no use; their fate had already been sealed.

If they had fallen into someone else’s hands, it might be different. But who were these two? Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang. How could they possibly escape?

"Ji’er, you don’t need to worry. You are a prince; no matter what, they won’t harm you." As for herself, as merely an Imperial Concubine, those two could do whatever they wanted with her.

"Mother, will I be alright?"

Upon hearing that he would be fine, the Fifteenth Prince let out a long sigh of relief.
