Chapter 118 Disobedience

Qing Wu was puzzled, "Miss, why did they take Tang Mian away?"

"Wei Songlin is a bastard, and he doesn't have a good relationship with his father. If the Wei family knew that his life was hanging by a thread, they would definitely have evil intentions. At that time, Wei Songlin's situation would be even more dangerous. I guess Wei Songlin should recuperate in his private residence. The news of his injury must not be spread. Tang Mian may be forced to stay with Wei Songlin to take care of him."

Ji Anyu raised her eyes to look at Qing Wu, "The prince may know where Wei Songlin's private residence is. If Xu Yuyan wants to find Tang Mian, he can wait for her to come back."

"Okay, then I'll go tell Xu Yuyan, so that he won't go to the hunter's house to look for Tang Mian again."

Seeing Qing Wu's cheerful steps, Ji Anyu stared at her back thoughtfully.

Two days later, in Wei Songlin's villa, Tang Mian was fanning himself in front of the medicine pot with a worried look on his face.

"Oh, when can I go home?" Tang Mian missed her father and her bed, and couldn't sleep in the villa.

Wei Zhong, the housekeeper of the villa, saw Tang Mian's sad face and felt it was unlucky. If the maids in the villa had not been sent away, he would not have wanted Tang Mian to come here to boil medicine.

Wei Zhong said in annoyance, "The medicine is ready, give it to the master!"

Tang Mian seemed to wake up in shock. He immediately picked up a rag and placed it on the handle of the pot, then carefully poured the medicine into the ceramic bowl.

"I'm coming."

Tang Mian carried the medicine to Wei Songlin's bedroom, held the medicine skillfully, and fed it to Wei Songlin.

When she was halfway through feeding him, Wei Songlin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her warily.

Their eyes met, and Tang Mian was so frightened by Wei Songlin's sudden gaze that he almost dropped the bowl in his hand.

When Wei Zhong saw Wei Songlin wake up, he happily knelt down and kowtowed.

"Sir, you finally woke up! Thank God." The sir's life was finally saved!
Wei Songlin moved his body slightly, and his wound was pulled, causing him to frown in pain.

He gave Wei Zhong a look and glanced at Tang Mian.

Wei Zhong understood, stood up, took the medicine from Tang Mian's hand, and waved his hand to tell Tang Mian to go out.

Tang Mian was eager to leave, and as soon as his hands were empty, he turned around and walked out.

"Wei Zhong, do they know that I'm injured?"

"I don't know." Wei Zhong handed the medicine to Wei Songlin respectfully, "Don't worry, sir. I didn't tell anyone about your injury. I only told them that you were sick."

Wei Songlin lowered his head to glance at his chest and smiled ferociously.

"Ji Anyu! Shen Jing! I lost a lot of people. If my father and the imperial concubine knew about this, I would be scolded by them."

Wei Zhong didn't dare to speak and lowered his head tremblingly.

"What's the news from the palace?"

"The food and grass that Qingyu Pass was responsible for transporting were lost. The prince proposed to the emperor that Shen Jing should go to Qingyu Pass. The emperor did not reject it immediately. He may be considering it."

Wei Songlin thought for a while, then smiled.

"That idiot prince finally did something pleasing to people." Wei Songlin drank the medicine in one gulp and handed the bowl to Wei Zhong.

At this time, the prince was kneeling in the imperial study, and the emperor was glaring at him with a sullen face.

"Yuxian, what did you just say? Say it again!"

Chen Yuxian straightened his back, "Father, I don't want to marry Miss Ji, please grant my wish." "You bastard! You were the one who vowed to marry Ji Yunchu, but now you say you don't want to marry her. Do you think marriage is a joke? Do you still have me in your eyes?"

Shen Weixiao was furious, and immediately walked quickly in front of Shen Yuxian and kicked Shen Yuxian hard.

Shen Yuxian was kicked in the heart and lungs, and a bloody smell spread up from his throat.

"I don't like Ji Yunchu, and I don't want to delay her, so I am willing to give her back her freedom. Besides, my father hasn't issued an edict to grant the marriage yet, so the matter of marriage can be discussed later."

Shen Weixiao sneered, "You don't like her, so you can hang out with her sister? Don't think I don't know that you took Ji Qinqin into the East Palace."

Chen Yuxian knelt down quickly, "Father, I have feelings for Ji Qinqin, and she also has feelings for me. The two of us are in love, and it is only natural for me to take her as a concubine."

"Humph! You always go to the Duke's Mansion recently. Do you think I'm a fool? Ji Yunchu, you must marry her!" Shen Weixiao put his hands behind his back and looked at his son coldly.

Making Chen Yuxian the crown prince was already his greatest concession, yet he actually wanted to covet his position, and he is not dead yet!
Shen Yuxian cried out sadly, "Father, I don't want to, please..."

"Prince!" Kong Wanhan hurried over and heard that her son was disobeying the emperor, so she spoke out to stop him.

She knelt beside her son and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is young and hot-tempered. He doesn't know the importance of things. It's all my fault. I didn't teach him well. Please punish me."

Seeing that the queen knew the current situation, Shen Weixiao's cold face eased a lot, and he personally stepped forward to help the queen up.

"I knew that the queen was reasonable. The prince will be confined to the East Palace for half a month. Queen, please take the prince away." Shen Weixiao turned away, unwilling to look at his son again.

"I understand. I will take the prince's leave."

Kong Wanhan forcibly dragged the resentful Shen Yuxian away. Along the way, whenever Shen Yuxian wanted to speak, Kong Wanhan glared back at him.

As soon as they arrived at the Eastern Palace, Kong Wanhan asked all the palace maids and eunuchs to leave. After the door was closed, she angrily slapped her son in the face.

"Idiot! You are so bold! Who allowed you to disobey your father?"

Shen Yuxian was stunned by Kong Wanhan's sudden attack. He covered his face and stared at Kong Wanhan blankly.

"Mother, you...you hit me." Shen Yuxian felt aggrieved. It was bad enough that his father treated him badly, but now even his mother hit him.

Kong Wanhan grabbed Shen Yuxian's collar with both hands and scolded.

"Chen Yuxian, remember this, you are responsible for the lives of thousands of people, and every step you take is crucial. I asked you to be cautious, why didn't you listen? Why did you provoke him?"

She was so angry that she beat Shen Yuxian to the ground.

"As the crown prince, you spend your days talking about love and forming cliques. I turned a blind eye to it, but you shouldn't forget what a crown prince should do, and you shouldn't forget the heavy responsibility you shoulder."

Chen Yuxian was at a loss. He crawled to Kong Wanhan's feet in a panic and grabbed Kong Wanhan's clothes like a child.

"Mother, my child...what did I do wrong?"

Kong Wanhan took a deep breath and looked at Shen Yuxian with disappointment.

"I ask you, why did the food and grass at Qingyu Pass get lost? You didn't pay attention to such a big thing, and instead of investigating it yourself, you instigated the emperor to order Shen Jing to go to Qingyu Pass. Shen Jing is a playboy, uneducated, and what did you suggest Shen Jing do at Qingyu Pass? To have fun?"

The food and grass transported to Qingyu Pass were lost, which made her think that the emperor was trying to crack down on the Kong family. Moreover, the army was short of food and grass. If the enemy attacked the border at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

Shen Yuxian lowered his head in grievance.

"Qingyu Pass is so far from the capital, and I don't have many people I can use. If I send my own people to Qingyu Pass to check the food and grass, what should I do if something happens in the capital? The Second Prince and the Imperial Concubine are eyeing me covetously. They want to pull me down from the position of Crown Prince, so I have to be on guard."
