Chapter 665: Chapter 250: The Dispute Between Bai Mowan and Xie Ruotong (One More)

Ye Qichi began performing blood dialysis treatment on Xiao Zhanping.

Qiankun Hall was exceptionally quiet.

Everyone was quietly waiting for the results of the treatment.

Zhao Mengyu, who had also been detained at the scene, watched Ye Qichi’s incomprehensible medical techniques.

The more she watched Ye Qichi handle everything with ease, the more her heart filled with panic.

If this continues...

Could Xiao Zhanping really be saved?!

If so... her and her son’s act of rebellion would be undeniable, impossible to hide.

If that’s the case...

She could only imagine the consequences she would face.

Zhao Mengyu was so frightened that she trembled continuously.

At this moment, she thought her son must never come back to save her.

He must not return.

If he does, his death would surely be inevitable!

At this time, Xiao Jinxing also focused all his attention on Ye Qichi treating Xiao Zhanping.

Watching Ye Qichi’s calm composure, he felt that during her treatment, everything seemed under her control; she could strategize and revive the dead, possessing such capability.

Dawn was breaking.

Ye Qichi removed the blood transfusion tube from Xiao Zhanping.

Then she said to Xiao Jinxing, "The Emperor is weak and currently unconscious; sleeping for two or three hours should allow him to regain consciousness."

Xiao Jinxing nodded.

Zhao Mengyu, who heard this, was so scared that she collapsed.

Xiao Zhanping could actually survive?!

She couldn’t help but look at Xiao Zhanping again; his face was pale, but it seemed like he was merely asleep.

No.

It cannot be.

He must not awaken.

Zhao Mengyu suddenly lost her rationality and, like a madwoman, struggled to rush to Xiao Zhanping’s bed to kill him.

She could not accept such an ending.

Clearly, everything was supposed to be finalized.

Xiao Jinxing looked indifferently at Zhao Mengyu’s frenzy, unaffected.

At this moment.

He only needed to wait for his father to awaken to condemn everyone!

...

Xie Ruotong and Bai Mowan left the Imperial Palace.

Xie Ruotong said, "General Bai, let’s go straight to the Song Residence. Prince Chen said that Song Yanqing is key."

"No, I need to go to the Duke Mansion."

"General Bai, the Duke of Chu surely won’t be at the Duke Mansion now!"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place!" Bai Mowan was firm.

"But I think..."

"Do you really think that Song Yanqing could be in Song Residence?" Bai Mowan asked sarcastically, "Since Song Yanqing is aiding Xiao Jinsen in escaping, they must be together, and do you think Xiao Jinsen would be stupid enough to wait at Song Residence for you to capture him?"

"I just think that Song Yanqing should return to Song Residence."

"How can you be sure?"

"He wouldn’t leave Xie Ruilin behind and just leave." Xie Ruotong stated plainly.

Today’s events happened so suddenly, they likely didn’t have the chance to make Xie Ruilin and the others leave beforehand.

Song Yanqing couldn’t possibly abandon her.

So now they must go to Song Residence, where they might still be able to catch Song Yanqing.

Catching Song Yanqing could possibly reveal the whereabouts of the Duke of Chu.

"I don’t know what kind of person Song Yanqing is, but I’ve seen enough people who, for their private desires and their own lives, spare no effort to save themselves." Bai Mowan bluntly said, "Going to the Duke Mansion now might still find some clues. If we go to Song Residence, it’s certain to be a waste."

"General Bai..."

"Or is it that you have been unable to forget about Song Yanqing, so you want to see him?" Bai Mowan’s eyes turned cold.

Xie Ruotong looked back at Bai Mowan.

Anger was clearly visible in her eyes.

"If you don’t want to be suspected, then don’t do things that lead to misunderstandings!" Bai Mowan said, then mounted her horse and headed for the Chu Prince’s mansion without further discussion with Xie Ruotong.

Xie Ruotong clenched her teeth.

"How about this, let’s wait until she leaves, and then we go to Song Residence," suggested Lin Qianyu, who was accompanying Xie Ruotong.

He also felt that Bai Mowan’s words were somewhat excessive.

Xie Ruotong suppressed her feelings and said, "The Prince has entrusted me to take care of Bai Mowan, I’m afraid something might happen to her. Let’s go, follow her idea and head to the Chu Prince’s mansion first."

Having said that.

She spurred her horse, quickly catching up to Bai Mowan.

Chu Prince’s mansion.

It was still peaceful.

It seemed that the people here were still unaware of what had happened in the Imperial Palace.

They were even less aware of what had happened to Xiao Jinsen.

Suddenly, noises rose, and everyone from the Chu Prince’s mansion came out.

Leading them, naturally, was Xie Ruiyao.

Xie Ruiyao’s expression visibly changed as she saw Bai Mowan, riding a horse, wearing armor and carrying a torch high above.

She harbored deep-seated hostility towards Bai Mowan.

Because Xiao Jinsen always had a "lasting memory" of Bai Mowan.

He had always wanted to gain control of the Bai Family army through Bai Mowan.

He still wants it, even now planning to marry Bai Mowan.

That is, if she weren’t pregnant. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

If she hadn’t been pregnant, she was afraid Xiao Jinsen might divorce her.

In order to please Xiao Jinsen at that time, she had aligned with Xie Ruilin and secretly partnered with some people from Duke Mansion to plot against her grandmother.

She truly regretted it after her grandmother was murdered.

She could marry Xiao Jinsen only because her grandmother was there.

Now after her grandmother’s death, if Xiao Jinsen truly doesn’t want her any longer, no one could help her.

It was also a time when she was blinded by Xiao Jinsen, thinking she was helping him achieve great things.

She almost got herself killed.

Luckily, her pregnancy came to her rescue, now carrying Xiao Jinsen’s child.

Once a son is born, she can have her honor through her son.

In this moment, seeing Bai Mowan suddenly arriving with such a mighty presence, she felt a bit timid in her heart.

She didn’t know why Bai Mowan would suddenly come back.

Nor why she would come like this to the Chu Prince’s mansion.

And where Xiao Jinsen had gone.

She feigned calmness, "At this late hour, I wonder what General Bai is here for? And sister, I heard you went to the border for battle, turns out you were following General Bai, my sister deserves my congratulations."

Xie Ruotong stood next to Bai Mowan.

At this moment, her attitude toward Xie Ruiyao was utterly cold.

Thinking about her grandmother’s death and this woman’s involvement in it...

She clenched her teeth.

She first controlled her emotions.

"Where is the Chu Prince?" Bai Mowan didn’t waste words with Xie Ruiyao, cutting straight to the chase.

"The Prince is not here. Today there are important matters in the palace requiring the Prince to stay overnight in the palace, General Bai, if you need to find the Prince, go to the Imperial Palace..."

"Search for me!" Bai Mowan completely disregarded Xie Ruiyao’s words.

Upon her command.

The Bai Family army charged into the Chu Prince’s mansion.

"What are you doing, Bai Mowan! You dare to intrude the Chu Prince’s mansion. You’re committing a crime of insubordination!" Xie Ruiyao shouted loudly.

She couldn’t let herself be manipulated like this.

Previously, as the third young miss of the Duke Mansion, she couldn’t contend with General Bai Mowan’s status.

But now, as the Princess of Chu, she is the master and Bai Mowan the minister, how could she let Bai Mowan act so presumptuously!

"You probably don’t know what the Chu Prince has done today, do you?" Bai Mowan asked Xie Ruiyao coldly.

Xie Ruiyao was startled.

She had long known that the Chu Prince harbored thoughts of rebellion... could it be that the Chu Prince has acted on it already?!
