Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 771: Everyone, dismiss!

Chapter 771: Everyone, dismiss!

Nianzu felt extremely bad upon seeing Ying Lili crying. All because of his evil mother. Why did she have to reveal it to Ying Lili despite knowing the fact that she's pregnant? His eyes turned misty because today, he realized his father knew everything about Deng Hui. Just for his son's happiness, he selected her as the Empress. It ached his heart that the mother, for whom he was ready to fight with the entire world had stopped so low for the throne.
"Sister Lili, nothing can happen to Brother Sheng. I will reach Changying by this evening and will send a message to you in Brother Sheng's handwriting," Nianzu assured her. Ying Lili nodded her head and wiped her tears from the handkerchief.
"Brother Nianzu, I trust Sheng Li, but I don't trust fate. The thought itself is terrible," Ying Lili said in a low voice. "I am not weak, but I cannot help thinking negatively. I know he is a warrior, but then he is a human too," she said and took a deep breath in.
Nianzu lowered his head. He did not have answers for Sheng Li's wife.
"Why would someone spread such a strange rumor, Brother Nianzu? Sheng Li is indeed injured. He already is covered with so many wounds. Maybe that's the reason, he has not woken up till now. I will stay back, not because I am pregnant, but because he has given me a big responsibility," Ying Lili stated. Nianzu lifted his head and assured her that he would bring Sheng Li safely to Luoyang.
"Sister Chuntao needs you. I will send someone else to Changying. The Princes need to stay in the Palace. Moreover, I don't want you to get hurt," Ying Lili asserted. She calmed down and put a thought to it.
"Who will go to Changying, Sister Lili?" Nianzu queried.
"Wu Qinyang," Ying Lili replied.
Nianzu wondered if Lei Wanxi told Ying Lili about the ongoing trouble with the Governor of Changying to Ying Lili.
"Pardon me, Your Majesty, General Wang is here," Eunuch Xing-Fu informed Ying Lili, who told him to let Wang Hao enter.
Wang Hao bowed before the Empress and apologized for not reporting earlier. However, it did not seem right to him to tell Ying Lili about the message from the First Prince. Huo Jin was still busy collecting the evidence against Empress Dowager.
"General Wang, I want you to send Wu Qinyang to Changying. Make sure that she doesn't get harmed in her way. Also, the Royal Physician will travel with her," Ying Lili commanded him.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Wang Hao bowed. He noticed the tears in Ying Lili's eyes. Though, he believed that Sheng Li would w
ake up soon. He was a born warrior and he defeated death many times. He had to wake up and end the evil that still had surrounded him.
"Your Majesty, if you want then I can go too," Wang Hao requested.
"General Wang, you need to stay in Luoyang," Ying Lili refused to let him leave. She rose to her feet and went to the study desk. All of them gazed in that direction.
Eunuch Xing-Fu quickly went to her and prepared the ink. Once it was ready, Ying Lili wrote a message for Sheng Li. After it dried, she handed it to Wang Hao.
"This message Wu Qinyang has to give to the Emperor," she told Wang Hao, who took it from her.
"I will instruct Miss Wu Qinyang, Your Majesty," Wang Hao reassured Ying Lili. She dismissed them and rested her hand on her lower abdomen.
'Sheng Li, be safe for us,' she prayed in her mind.

Nianzu stopped General Wang and urged him to arrest his mother. Wang Hao was startled by his request. He wondered if Nianzu found out something about his mother.
"She is the one who wanted to poison Sister Lili. She should not be Empress Dowager of this Empire. She should rot in prison." Nianzu's voice was clear to show how much he started to hate Deng Hui.
"I am afraid, Prince Nianzu, but without evidence, I cannot do anything. The servant kept saying that it was him. He did not tell your mother's name," Wang Hao affirmed. He also knew that Deng Hui was behind it, but he could not proceed against Empress Dowager without the order of the Emperor or the Empress.
"General Wang does not know what my mother has turned into. I made a huge mistake that day, General Wang. My mother is no lesser than Weng Wei," Nianzu bitterly said. Wang Hao wanted to tell him that the Empress was the suspect behind Sheng Li's injuries, but if he would do so, then Deng Hui might destroy all evidence.
Wang Hao patted Nianzu's shoulder. "It's not your fault. If she tried to poison the Empress, she would surely be punished. However, after gathering evidence. The Prince shall take rest. His body must be weak after consuming the poison," Wang Hao worriedly said and took his leave.
Nianzu rubbed the middle of his forehead and dashed to his mother's chamber. She created a mess in his head. Seeing Nianzu, the maidservant informed Deng Hui about his arrival.
She left drinking tea in the middle and stood up. Wearing a smile on her lips, she patiently waited for Nianzu.
"Everyone, dismiss!" Nianzu did
not look in a good mood and it increased Deng Hui's concern.
However, the servants did not budge from their places. It raised Nianzu's anger and he picked the expensive porcelain vase from the side table and smashed it on the floor.
"Prince Nianzu," Deng Hui was shocked to see him furious. He never acted this way.
"Empress Dowager, tell your servants to get out of the chamber!" Nianzu screamed. Deng Hui dismissed everyone and walked to Nianzu, who was fuming in anger.
He stepped back and said, "You are no longer my mother. Just tell the truth that you mixed poison in those sweets. Admit it that you want to kill the Empress."
