Mu Xiuhan's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar, and he kowtowed quickly: "My son is stupid, but I know I'm wrong! Please, father, please understand!"

He never expected that his father would care so much about Yan Li, an orphan without a father or a mother, who was fostered in the Taifu Mansion for so many years, and whose food and clothing were all provided by the Jiang family. She was cowardly and incompetent, and her mother had secretly married someone at that time, and she didn't have a good reputation. How could such a woman be qualified to be a mother?

He didn't want to marry an orphan with a stain. What if someone dug up the old account and impeached and attacked him in the future, where would his face be?

Jiang Jingyue is the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor. She is gentle, intelligent, considerate, and a well-educated lady...

"I have cancelled your marriage with Yan Li. Since you want to marry the granddaughter of the Jiang family, I will also fulfill your wish." Emperor Zhaocheng's anger subsided slightly, and his tone was extremely calm, which sounded more and more like a sign before the coming of a storm. "Tomorrow I will send someone to bring her into the palace. After living in the East Palace, she will be your Crown Princess. I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you can treat her well."

Mu Xiuhan heard this and had an ominous premonition in his heart. Bring Jiang Jingyue into the palace? Ordinary people still have matchmakers and engagements to marry wives, but he, a noble crown prince, has to bring his wife in directly like taking a concubine?

No, taking a concubine is more glorious than this.

If the civil and military officials of the court and the nobles of the imperial city knew that Jiang Jingyue was taken into the palace to be the crown princess, he, the crown prince, and the Jiang family would lose all their face!

Mu Xiuhan's face turned pale, and he kowtowed repeatedly to apologize: "Father, I am incompetent, and I know I was wrong-"

"You are not incompetent, you are insidious." Emperor Zhaocheng interrupted him, "I should be happy that I can see what you are earlier."

The crown prince's face changed drastically, and he could hardly believe that his father would say this to him: "Father! I am your biological son, Yan Li... She is..."

"Is she an orphan who no one cares about?" Emperor Zhaocheng's eyes were cold, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed, "I will soon let you see if anyone cares about her and if anyone protects her!"

Yan Li was already fully awake. After all, the severe pain caused by the treatment of the wound made it impossible for people to fall asleep again.

So she clearly heard the voices of the father and son talking behind her.

The memory still lingered two hours ago, when the prince slapped Yan Li, called her a "bitch", and then walked away in anger.

For his own selfish desires, the crown prince did not care what kind of harm his false accusations and abuses would cause to an innocent girl. It was obviously he who wanted to cancel the engagement, but he did not dare to ask his father, and took his anger out on a weak woman.

How could such a man be worthy of being the crown prince?

Yan Li frowned slightly, with pain everywhere on one side and a buzzing roar in her ears on the other side, which made her upset.

She wanted to open her eyes and say something, but the order that followed made her give up the idea.

"You just kneel here. When will Yan Li wake up?" Emperor Zhaocheng said in a stern and angry tone, not allowing any rebuttal. "I can cancel your engagement, but the reason why Yan Li suffered this crime is entirely because of you, a fool, who doesn't know right from wrong. You can't get rid of the responsibility!"

The emperor was quite reasonable.

Yan Qing nodded silently in her heart and continued to close her eyes and sleep peacefully. Even if she couldn't sleep because of the pain in her body, she needed to conserve her energy and repair this weak and helpless body.

As for the prince, kneel slowly.

The female doctors skillfully treated the injuries on Yan Li's body, and applied the medicine to the places that needed it. The cool feeling of the ointment relieved the pain a lot.

The emperor may have left. Yan Li heard a woman say to the others, "You two take good care of Miss Yan here. I'll go boil the medicine."

"Yes."

The hall was filled with a light and clear smell of medicine. Yan Li was still in the mood to distinguish the ingredients of this smell. It was indeed a good medicine that could promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and help wounds heal quickly. It was very valuable.

The pain subsided a lot, and Yan Li gradually fell into a deep sleep.

The female doctor Bai Die walked out of the inner hall and saw the prince kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face. She knelt down and saluted.

"When will Yan Li wake up?" Mu Xiuhan frowned.

"To reply to the prince, Miss Yan is too seriously injured, and her body is weak. I don't know if she can wake up today."

Mu Xiuhan's face changed suddenly: "Today?"

Does it mean that Yan Li may not wake up today? Then he will have to kneel here for half a day?

What about at night?

If she can't wake up at night, will he have to kneel here all night?

"Find someone to go to Fengyi Palace and tell the Queen what happened here." Mu Xiuhan said lightly.

"Yes."

Bai Die walked out and sent someone to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what happened, and then went to get some medicine.

After the Queen heard what happened in Fengyi Palace, she was shocked: "What did you say?"

The palace servant replied truthfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was punished by the Emperor to kneel in Fengyang Palace, and Miss Yan is in Fengyang Palace."

The Queen asked the reason in detail and quickly ordered: "Go to Fengyang Palace!"

She arrived at Fengyang Palace with a large group of palace maids. As expected, she saw the Crown Prince kneeling in the palace, and she was immediately distressed, but she knew that this was not the time to feel distressed. She stepped over the threshold and walked into the inner hall.

"How is Yan Li?" She looked worried, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at the pale face in front of her, "This child has really suffered, how did he become like this?"

Yan Li was awakened by a pair of cold claws just as she fell asleep. She couldn't help but feel murderous, but she soon realized something. The murderous aura flashed away and soon returned to calm.

The queen frowned and asked unhappily: "When can she wake up?"

"Reporting to the queen, Miss Yan was not only severely punished physically, but also emotionally stimulated," the doctor replied, "so it's not certain when she will wake up."

The queen said impatiently: "Is there any way to wake her up immediately?"

The doctor hesitated: "Miss Yan is very weak. The emperor ordered no one to disturb her and let her rest well-"

"Don't you understand what I mean?" The queen's tone suddenly rose, "Let her wake up immediately!"

Perhaps the voice was so loud that it disturbed Yan Li. The eyelashes of the sleeping girl trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Are you awake?" The queen looked at Yan Li and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Her expression became gentle and caring. "Yan Li, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Yan Li looked at the woman with delicate makeup in silence, her eyes were calm and calm, as if she was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

"Yan Li." The queen frowned, "Can you listen to me?"

Yan Li still didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

The queen's expression gradually became uneasy, but it could be seen that she was trying to suppress her temper: "Since you are awake, say something, don't pretend to be dumb."

Yan Li closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

The queen was so angry that her face turned blue, and she stood up suddenly: "Are you doing this on purpose?"
