Although the voice was small, Qiao Nian still heard it.

Not being able to let her go means that not only Meng Yingzhi can't leave today, but even she can't think of leaving the Wan family's door!

Qiao Nian didn't expect that Mrs. Wan would make such a decision for her son.

He then narrowed his eyes slightly.

And Madam Wan looked at Madam Wan's expression and obviously understood something.

Meng Yingzhi must have evidence on him, and it would be very unfavorable to Wan Zeyue, so Madam Wan is so panicked!

However, it is obviously not possible to not let them go now.

The Wan family can't kill Qiao Nian in broad daylight!

Maybe someone will come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to call for help in a while!

How could she do that?

Can……

Madam Wan felt extremely sorry when she looked at her most beloved eldest grandson.

She knew that if she let Qiao Nian go, she would be harming Wan Zeyue!

For a moment, Madam Wan was in a dilemma and became hesitant.

Seeing this, Madam Wan anxiously shook Madam Wan's hand, looking anxious, "Mother! You can't let her go!"

"Madam! Madam!"

At this moment, a more urgent voice was heard.

Suddenly, a servant rushed into the courtyard and said to Madam Wan, "Madam, General Xiao wants to see you!"

General Xiao?

Xiao Heng?!

Madam Wan was suddenly shocked. He came so quickly!

Qiao Nian became confused.

Why is Xiao Heng here?

Just as he was thinking, a cold voice sounded, "Xiao Heng came here uninvited, I hope Madam Wan will forgive me!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Heng striding into the courtyard.

Someone exclaimed, "How dare you, Xiao Heng, break in without the master's permission! What do you think my prime minister's residence is? Can you enter whenever you want?"

Hearing this, Xiao Heng's gloomy eyes glanced at the man, "Second Master, don't be upset. It was Xiao who was rude first. I will go to the emperor to apologize later."

After saying that, those eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the courtyard one by one, and finally fell on Madam Wan.

Xiao Heng stepped forward and bowed to Madam Wan, "Please forgive me, Madam."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Heng stood up again, and his tall body just blocked Madam Wan's view of Qiao Nian.

It’s obvious that he came here just for Qiao Nian.

Madam Wan's expression changed slightly, and then she said, "General Xiao, why do you have to do this? I was just about to let Master Qiao go."

No matter how much he loves Wan Zeyue, the interests of the Wan family are above all else.

It was impossible for her to let the entire Prime Minister's Mansion suffer for the sake of Wan Zeyue.

Listening to the old lady's words, Xiao Heng's mouth curled up into a faint smile, "The old lady is very understanding, it is Xiao who has a mean heart. Xiao will go to the emperor to apologize in a moment."

After that, he bowed again, then turned around and looked at Qiao Nian, "Let's go!"

Qiao Nian took a deep breath.

She was still somewhat confused as to why Xiao Heng showed up.

But it was obvious that if Xiao Heng hadn't arrived, the Wan family would not have let him go so easily.

So, she nodded slightly, then went into the house, and together with the maid helped Meng Yingzhi off the bed.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Madam Wan say, "Wait."

Xiao Heng's brows sank, and his whole body was instantly filled with a fierce aura.

I thought Madam Wan was trying to play some tricks, but I heard her say, "You guys are just going to ignore Ze Yue's injury?"

She didn't know where Wan Zeyue was injured, but his painful expression showed that he was obviously seriously injured.

Only then did Qiao Nian remember Wan Zeyue. She handed Meng Yingzhi to the maid, then came to Wan Zeyue and took out the silver needle from Wan Zeyue's thigh.

After everyone watched the silver needle leave Wan Zeyue's body, Wan Zeyue completely relaxed, breathing heavily, without any sign of pain on his face.

I was slightly surprised at that moment.

It's just a silver needle, how could it have such great power?

Madam Wan frowned and looked at Qiao Nian, thinking secretly that this woman was really not simple.

Uncle Geng's carriage was still waiting outside.

It was not until he saw Qiao Nian and a little maid helping Meng Yingzhi out that he seemed to realize something.

He strode forward, his eyes tinged with panic, "Is the girl okay?"

No wonder Xiao Heng rushed into the Prime Minister's Mansion regardless of any obstruction. It turned out that Miss Qiao was in trouble with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Come to think of it, today is indeed a bit longer!

It was his negligence!

Uncle Geng felt a little guilty, so he listened to Qiao Nian and said, "I'm fine. I'll take Miss Meng back home first."

At this point, it would be safest for Meng Yingzhi to go back to Pingyang Prefecture with her!

Uncle Geng nodded immediately.

Qiao Nian and the maid sent Meng Yingzhi to the carriage.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned around and looked at Xiao Heng.

Seeing the latter's eyes shining, as if waiting for her to say something, Qiao Nian frowned, but in the end he said nothing and turned to get on the carriage.

Xiao Heng didn't say anything. He just watched the carriage go farther and farther away, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Afterwards, Xiao Heng entered the palace.

After all, the Wan family’s speed is not as fast as his.

Kneeling in the imperial study, Xiao Heng reported to the emperor truthfully about his trespassing into the prime minister's residence today.

The emperor was furious. "You are so brave! How dare you break into the prime minister's residence? Do you really think I dare not punish you?!"

He was so disrespectful to the prime minister. How could the prime minister face the officials in the court in the future?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Heng smiled and said, "I am willing to accept the punishment."

Seeing his smile, the emperor became more and more angry, "I think you have lost your mind! Even if there is a reason, how could the Wan family be so stupid as to dare to hurt Qiao Nian? Why do you need to go through this?"

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The emperor asked, "Let me ask you again, how did you know that Qiao Nian was surrounded in the Prime Minister's Mansion? How dare you plant spies in the Prime Minister's Mansion?!"

If someone hadn't tipped off, how could Xiao Heng appear so quickly?

But Xiao Heng still didn't speak.

"You bastard!" The emperor was so angry that he threw all the memorials in his hand and smashed them hard on Xiao Heng's forehead. "Now I ask you, and you dare not answer? If I don't teach you a lesson today, do you really think I can't bear to touch you? Come here!"

At a command, the guards came in immediately.

At the side, the emperor's personal eunuch whispered to the emperor, "Your Majesty, General Xiao is still injured."

The injuries caused by being trampled by the horse may not have healed yet.

Hearing this, the emperor was slightly startled, but his face was still full of anger. Looking at the guards who had already entered, he shouted, "Take Xiao Heng away and give him twenty lashes! Oh, and let the prime minister go too, so he can see it with his own eyes! If twenty lashes don't calm the prime minister down, then keep beating him!"
