The vicious character collapses in front of the villain husband

Inside the garden, Concubine Qi Yan had washed and dressed well today, and put on some rouge to make her look more beautiful. She took the trouble to dress up just so that if that man suddenly showed up, she wouldn't be too embarrassed.

When I was young, I fell in love with him, but he was too sentimental, so I married him to the python clan in a fit of anger. But men are the same, the old python becomes more and more licentious as he gets older, and is even far less considerate than him.

Fortunately, after so many years, he became the Fox King, had a group of concubines and many children, but he still missed the old days.

But why has he never come to see me these days?

Even though she was beautiful in the past, she couldn't keep his heart. Now that I'm old and lustful, can I really use my old love to save myself?

However, when we massacred the Python clan, it must have been him who gave the order not to hurt me in any way, so that I could survive.

Qi Yan twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and thought of that day when he was surrounded by the smell of blood and wailing. He knew that resistance was useless and it was better to leave cleanly, so he prepared a silk cloth and was about to hang himself, but was saved by his second son.

The second young master also said, "Father is always thinking about the queen. If the queen really dies, I am afraid we will not be able to escape severe punishment."

The second young master looked quite like his father when he was young, with a pair of affectionate eyes that made people confused.

Qi Yan has no children and can only daydream to pass the time in this usually silent palace courtyard.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, interrupting Qi Yan's thoughts.

When Cheng Ming saw Xiao Yao open the door, he walked in with the box and knelt down in front of the figure in the courtyard: "Madam Concubine, I am from the residence of the young prince. I have offended you today. The young prince feels guilty for not being able to visit you often, so he ordered me to prepare some small gifts to honor you."

Cheng Ming opened the wooden box, and inside were silks and satins of fine quality, as well as gold and silver jewelry, which he, Jiang Ming, and Lan Ming had collected with great difficulty.

Qi Yan took a glance and his mind changed. He knew without asking that he wanted to ask for a favor.

"Your Highness is thoughtful, but how can I bear your concern? It is difficult for me to accept your concern, so you should take this gift back." After saying that, without waiting for Cheng Ming to reply, he instructed the little demon beside him: "Send this girl away."

Cheng Ming had thought about being rejected, but he didn't expect Concubine Qi to reject him so decisively. He quickly said, "I hope the Concubine will protect His Highness. If His Highness is safe, the Python Clan will be at peace!"

Qi Yan turned around and didn't want to listen anymore.

All the royal family members were killed, except himself and three other members of the Python clan royal family. Among them were His Royal Highness the Demon King and the Little Prince, both of whom lived in a remote palace that day. Another unrelated princess was said to be outside the palace that day.

They were the same as the pythons living outside the imperial city. They had no idea what happened that day, but they knew.

I was the only one who witnessed the massacre.

Why is it so difficult to identify the real culprit who wiped out the python clan? Why did the old demon king suddenly die?

It’s the fox clan, only the fox clan.

It's ridiculous. You come to ask for my protection. I can hardly protect myself, how can I have the leisure time to protect others?

What's more, I helped persuade Mr. Chong, who deliberately prescribed a poisonous prescription.

There is no way. The fox clan does not want to keep this little prince and wants him to die. Who dares to stop them?

Qi Yan closed his eyes, thought to himself that there was nothing he could do, and walked into the room. When he pushed the door open, he saw someone standing in the room. He was frightened for a moment.

Mu Yan was wearing a white robe embroidered with silver patterns, and his black, smooth hair was loose, like silk or satin. He turned around and bowed to Qi Yan, saying lightly, "My queen, how are you?"

Qi Yan felt relieved when she saw who was coming. She smiled and walked forward slowly: "Second Prince, what are you doing here?"

"Mu has no intention of disturbing you. I just came here to express my gratitude for what happened last time."

"Don't be polite, Second Prince. The child has already taken the prescription prescribed by Elder Chong, and the poison will take effect soon." Qi Yan thought about it again, and was afraid that Mu Yan would be suspicious when he saw the maid of the young prince begging for help, so she took the initiative to mention it: "The child has no one to rely on, and even asked the maid to beg me. How could I help him? I have already sent her away."

"Oh? If this is the case, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Your Majesty." Mu Yan remembered the lies that Mu Xiaoxi taught Mu Ying to tell on the roof that night. The corners of his lips raised slightly with a half smile.

"Your Majesty, you must persuade your youngest sister, ask her, beg her to save the little prince. Even if she refuses, you must beg her earnestly."

This was completely beyond Qi Yan's expectations. "What does this... mean?"

Mu Yan's eyebrows curved, as if he would be full of tenderness when he mentioned Mu Xiaoxi, but the coldness in his eyes did not disappear but increased, "My little sister is a little concerned about the father and son. She is young, so it's okay if she wants to play around, but if it delays important matters, I'm afraid that the emperor will blame her. I hope your majesty can help me with this."

Qi Yan nodded, but she was not quite willing in her heart.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty. Father really wants to come and visit, but he has been busy with official duties recently. During this period, a concubine named Diao has been causing trouble in the harem, so Father has no time to take care of other things. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

Qi Yan's heart tightened and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand. Naturally, the old Fox King had no shortage of beautiful girls around him. Today it was Concubine Diao, but tomorrow she might be tripped up by some other concubine. She was helpless whether in the Python Clan or the Fox Clan. If she could establish a relationship with the Second Prince, she wouldn't be too sad in the future.

After thinking this through, the reluctance just now was much lessened. Qi Yan made some tea and handed it over, "Of course I won't blame you. Next time if there's anything I can help with, just find a little demon. It's too much trouble for you to come all the way here."

Mu Yan never drank or ate in the presence of outsiders, so he gently refused: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. To protect your safety, you don't need to keep Elder Chong."

Qi Yan nodded, thinking about a killing move in her mind, but she never thought that if the Fox King never thought of her from the beginning to the end, and she was rescued just on Mu Yan's whim, what kind of ending would be waiting for her in the future.

"There is one more thing I need to ask you, Madam."

Qi Yan looked up and saw Mu Yan's eyes were indifferent and his expression was slightly cold, so she quickly responded, "Second Prince, please speak."

"Is there any hidden expert in the python clan who is secretly protecting the young prince?"

"This... shouldn't be possible." How could it be possible?

Mu Yan exposed half of his wrist from his wide sleeves, which was covered with a horrible scar that was half scabby and half pus-filled. There was also a faint black mist on the wound. The scar had not healed yet, and anyone who saw it would find it strange.

"Your Highness, you may not know that I went to the Python Clan a few days ago to look for the young prince, but I never expected that I would be attacked by someone who somehow hid his body. This person secretly protected the young prince and prevented me from getting close to him. Your Highness, do you know who this person is?"

Qi Yan was frightened by the scars that looked like those caused by an evil spirit. Looking closely, he saw that the scars extended along his entire arm, and there were also scars on the skin that was buried under his sleeves.

She suddenly had a hunch that Mu Yan came to her mainly to ask about this matter.

"I really don't know, if someone was secretly protecting that child, why didn't anyone stop him when His Highness's youngest sister was caned?"

Mu Yan's face darkened. "Perhaps my youngest sister will not really want to kill the young prince. Or perhaps...if the queen can find out who this person is, even if it is just hearsay, it may be useful to me."

Mu Yan didn't say the other half of the sentence. Perhaps, the youngest sister had already colluded with that person. If so, she should think of some way to stop the loss in time.

Qi Yan agreed to this matter, "I will investigate this matter for the Second Prince, even the smallest details will be taken care of."
