Didn't Love You Enough

Chapter 29

"Yes.

Your Highness the Crown Prince, we caught Xue Song. Should we bring him up … … "No matter what, Xue Song was the father of the Crown Princess and the father-in-law of the Crown Prince. Ling Chengfeng asked the Crown Prince for instructions.

"Bring him up … …" Xuanyuan Hancheng's eyes were filled with killing intent.

Xue Song was brought up dejectedly and saw the Crown Prince's murderous eyes.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince … … Your Highness the Crown Prince … … I was forced by Prince Li. It really was Prince Li who forced me to do it … …"

Xue Song felt that he was really too unlucky. Clearly, everything had gone smoothly at the beginning. The old consort's mama had set fire in Li An Hall and lured away most of the guards in Yong Shou Palace.

He had calculated the time and knew that it was time for the concubines to pay their respects to the Empress in the morning.

Xue Song thought that even if he couldn't catch the Empress, he could catch one or two concubines to use as blackmail.

That way, he would have a way to escape. He didn't expect that when he rushed to Yong Shou Palace, he didn't see a single concubine.

And the Empress escaped. Afterwards, the imperial guards came so quickly that he was quickly captured.

Xue Song didn't expect that the Empress had sent away the concubines early in order to talk to Lin Jiabao.

"Speak … … How did you sneak into the palace?

How many people did you bring in? "Xuanyuan Hancheng pulled out the sword of the guard beside him and pointed at Xue Song.

"I'll speak, I'll speak. Your Highness the Crown Prince, it was the old consort's mama. She had a godson who was working at Xizhi Gate. He drugged the guards and let us in.

I brought a total of two hundred people with me. One hundred of them are Prince Li's men of sacrifice, and the other one hundred are fugitives bribed in Jianghu. "Xue Song knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was vicious and merciless, so he told him everything.

"You deserve to die!" After Xue Song finished speaking, Xuanyuan Hancheng brandished his saber at Xue Song.

When he thought about how there was no news of his Empress Mother or Guai Bao, he really wanted to kill this old thing.

Xue Song was so scared that he shouted, "No … Your Highness, please spare my life. Don't kill me … don't kill me … I'm your father-in-law … ah ah ah …" Accompanied by Xue Song's screams, Xuanyuan Hancheng cut off one of Xue Song's arms.

"How many bandits haven't been caught yet?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked Ling Chengfeng.

"Your Highness, more than eighty have been killed, and more than a hundred have been caught.

There are still more than ten people fleeing in the palace … The imperial guards are stepping up their efforts to catch them, and all the palace gates have been sealed. They won't let any of the bandits out … "Ling Chengfeng replied.

Xuanyuan Hancheng returned to Pingle Park and looked at the map of the palace in the inner study room. He thought about where his Empress Mother and Guai Bao would be hiding. Guai Bao had never seen such a thing before, so he must be scared to death …

Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't sleep for a day and a night, so his eyes were red and bloodshot.

Xuanyuan Hancheng picked up the ginseng tea that the palace servant brought and drank a mouthful, forcing himself to stay awake.

He heard the palace servant outside say that the commander of the imperial guards was outside and wanted to see him. "Let him in quickly."

Ling Chengfeng came in and greeted the Crown Prince, then reported, "Your Highness, we have searched all the palaces near the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but we still haven't seen Her Majesty Empress and Servant Lin.

We have caught a few more bandits, but according to their confessions, they haven't seen Her Majesty Empress and the others … "

Xuanyuan Hancheng frowned. Where would his Empress Mother and Guai Bao be?

A night had passed. Were they hungry or cold … Xuanyuan Hancheng was full of worry. It was the first time he felt so powerless since his rebirth.

There were still some bandits that hadn't been caught. He must find his Empress Mother and Guai Bao as soon as possible.

Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at the topographic map of the harem again. When he saw the Xi Li Palace, an idea flashed through his mind, and he wanted to give it a try.

"Bring some people and me to the Xi Li Palace to search …"

"Yes."

Empress woke up and found that it was already late. It was close to noon.

She couldn't hold on and fell asleep after four o 'clock yesterday. She looked at Lin Jiabao who was leaning against the wall.

"Jia Bao, you haven't slept all this time?"

"Jia Bao didn't dare to sleep. Jia Bao was guarding Empress Empress." Lin Jiabao stood up slowly, feeling dizzy.

"Empress, please wait a moment. I'll make you some breakfast …"

"Don't do it, good boy … I'm not hungry. Lie down for a while …" Empress looked at Lin Jiabao's sunken eyes and felt distressed.

Empress's one regret was that she didn't have a daughter. Although she had two sons who were very filial to her, they weren't as obedient and considerate as a daughter.

The more Empress looked at Lin Jiabao, the more she liked him. He was such a good child, although he was a twin.

But he was more obedient than a daughter, and she loved him even more … Lin Jiabao wouldn't deliberately curry favor with her. What he did was from the bottom of his heart, and it was the truest expression of his feelings.

After this day and night of sharing weal and woe, Empress's love for Lin Jiabao reached its peak. She secretly thought that if they escaped danger this time, she would definitely reward Jia Bao …

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Empress and Lin Jiabao both became alert. Lin Jiabao said, "I wonder if it's the thieves or someone who's looking for us?"

Lin Jiabao picked up the broadsword, "Empress, don't come out.

I'll go take a look. If it's the thieves, I'll lead them somewhere else … "As he spoke, he rushed out.

"Jia Bao, don't go …" Empress couldn't stop him in time and could only watch as Jia Bao ran out.

Lin Jiabao took the broadsword and quietly ran to the front. He found a small corner and squatted down, wanting to see who it was.

The noon sun was a bit dazzling, making him dizzy.

It wasn't easy to see who it was. It was His Highness the Crown Prince!

"His Highness the Crown Prince … His Highness the Crown Prince …" Lin Jiabao ran forward, threw away the broadsword in his hand, and threw himself into Xuanyuan Hancheng's arms.

As soon as Xuanyuan Hancheng stepped into the courtyard of Xi Li Palace, he heard Guai Bao's voice. Then he saw his Guai Bao running towards him with a broadsword that didn't match his size.

"Guai Bao … My Guai Bao, don't be afraid … It's okay, baby …" Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged the Jia Bao tightly and kissed him.

Lin Jiabao couldn't hold back his tears anymore and began to cry.

"Okay, baby … Don't cry, your husband is back …" Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged the Jia Bao and said softly in his ear.

"Wu wu … His Highness the Crown Prince, Empress is still in the room." Lin Jiabao raised his head from Xuanyuan Hancheng's arms and said.

When Empress saw that the Crown Prince had come, her worried heart finally relaxed.

"Cheng 'er, you're finally here …"

"Erchen came late and frightened Imperial Mother …"

"It's all thanks to Jia Bao this time …" Empress looked at Lin Jiabao with eyes full of love.

Lin Jiabao leaned on Xuanyuan Hancheng's chest and felt very relieved. His whole body gradually relaxed.

Xuanyuan Hancheng felt that the person in his arms was acting strange. "Guai Bao, what's wrong with you …"

Empress looked at the Jia Bao and was also very worried.

"Jia Bao stayed with me all night and didn't sleep. I'm afraid he's very sleepy …"

"Sleepy …" Lin Jiabao felt that once he relaxed, he couldn't even open his eyes.

When Xuanyuan Hancheng saw this, he immediately carried Lin Jiabao horizontally so that his darling could sleep more comfortably.

Xuanyuan Hancheng carried Lin Jiabao back to Pingle Park and placed Lin Jiabao on the bed. He personally changed his clothes and covered him with a blanket. Then, he planted a kiss on Lin Jiabao's forehead.

Xuanyuan Hancheng then returned to the inner study and ordered the Shadow Guard to send a signal to his younger brother, Xuanyuan Hanqi. He had already received news that his younger brother had already trapped Prince Li at Ciyun Temple and that his imperial father was also rushing there.

After that, he confirmed with the Imperial Guard's commander, Ling Chengfeng, that the rest of the bandits had been captured.

After dealing with the follow-up matters, Xuanyuan Hancheng returned to his bedroom in Pingle Park. He quietly climbed into bed and hugged his darling to sleep.

With his darling by his side, he could finally have a good night's sleep …

When Xuanyuan Hanqi received the signal from his older brother, he knew that his imperial mother was safe and sound. He immediately ordered a full-scale attack.

Xuanyuan Hanqi's troops were strong and powerful. They quickly broke into the temple.

After entering the courtyard, they quickly dealt with the stubborn death guards in the courtyard.

When Xuanyuan Hanqi entered the temple, he saw a raging fire and thick black smoke in the abbot's meditation room.

The entire meditation room had been engulfed by the fire. "Quickly put out the fire …"

Xuanyuan Hanqi heard the guard below report, "Your Highness, we searched the entire Ciyun Temple but couldn't find Prince Li. He must have committed suicide in the abbot's meditation room …"

Xuanyuan Hancheng had a long dream. When he woke up, he was full of energy.

He tilted his head and saw that his darling was still sleeping. He thought that Guai Bao must be exhausted from the shock and fear in the past two days …

Xuanyuan Hancheng gently brushed away the sweaty hair on Jia Bao's forehead. Suddenly, he found that Jia Bao's forehead was boiling hot. He was extremely flustered.

"Quickly … call for Doctor Qian …"

Lin Jiabao was sick. His entire body was burning up. Xuanyuan Hancheng was so anxious that his mouth was blistered.

Xuanyuan Hancheng stayed by the bedside. He looked at Guai Bao, whose little face was burning red. His heart ached.

Doctor Qian came to check Lin Jiabao's pulse and said to the Crown Prince, "Young Master Lin's cold is very aggressive. It's caused by the cold wind entering his body and the shock he received.

This humble subject has already prescribed a prescription. Young Master Lin should get better after taking a few doses. "

"Your Highness, the medicine is ready …" Shu Ya came in with a bowl of medicinal soup.

"Bring it over …" Xuanyuan Hancheng helped Lin Jiabao up and let Guai Bao sit in front of him.

"Guai Bao, come and drink the medicine. You'll be fine after drinking the medicine …"

"Wu …" Lin Jiabao was already in a daze from the fever. He felt as if he was on top of a flaming mountain. His head was so heavy that he couldn't lift it up. His little mouth was slightly open as he breathed out hot air.

Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at his darling and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to drink the medicine. "Give the medicine to me …"

Shu Ya obeyed and brought the medicine forward. Xuanyuan Hancheng took a big gulp of the medicine and passed it to Guai Bao.

He repeated this twice before finally feeding Jia Bao the entire bowl of medicine.

"Wu … mmm … bitter …" Lin Jiabao frowned and swallowed the bitter medicine.

"Bring some water." Xuanyuan Hancheng took the water that Shu Ya passed to him and drank it before passing it to his darling.

Then, he let Jia Bao lie down and covered his darling with a blanket. Lin Jiabao fell asleep again.

Empress was also very worried when she heard that Lin Jiabao was sick. Every two to four hours, she would send someone to ask about Lin Jiabao's condition.

Xuanyuan Hancheng lay down next to his darling, keeping watch over Guai Bao …
