When the few of them heard this, they looked at each other in dismay. In the end, they still gave him the key to the water chain.

Receiving the key, Night Emperor Shang opened the shackles on Shui Ruo's feet, then carried her out without even turning his head back.

"Halt!" Seeing that the man wanted to leave, Wan-Er's voice sounded.

Hearing this, Night Emperor turned his head to look at her with an ice-cold gaze and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Night Emperor Shang's tone was extremely calm, but it was precisely this unusual calmness that caused fear to well up in the hearts of the onlookers.

Hidden under this so-called calm was an indescribable anger.

Wan'er looked at him, almost losing all courage to keep him. Fortunately, she had trained by the side of the Prime Minister all these years, which was why she hadn't given up on keeping him.

Looking at him, Wan-Er's eyes lit up, "My lord, this woman is a felon who will harm his future grandson. Where are you taking her?"

"Where to? "Of course it's to bring her home." His attitude was stern, and as his words fell, he turned to Wan'er and asked, "You want to stop me?"

"The Crown Princess and I are like sisters. The Crown Princess lost her child because of her. If the Crown Prince wants to protect this woman at this time, I will naturally stop him."

He looked at Wan'er with a serious expression.

"Oh? Then, should I also send you home? " Night Emperor Shang's eyes narrowed as he looked at Wan'er.

To be sent home by one's beloved was an extremely blissful thing, but unfortunately, at this moment, he wasn't the one who was thinking about Wan'er the most. Wan'er knew this very well.

Wan-Er felt helpless in her heart. She looked at Night Emperor Shang, who was wearing a demonic red robe and holding a tattered woman in his arms. For a moment, she felt jealous.

Jealous of the water.

Yes, she had really managed to make Shui Ruo miserable, even on the verge of death. However, she was unable to do it, making Night Emperor Shang feel sad for her and angry for her.

The look in Emperor Shang's eyes and his feelings were all given to this woman called Shui You!

It made people jealous, but it also made them furious.

However, most of them were unable to obtain the sorrow of their loved one.

"Your Highness, if you want to bring them away, I naturally wouldn't dare to stop you." It's just that Your Highness has to think it through. Taking this woman away without permission signified that he wanted to become enemies with the empress. Can you bear the consequences? "

Wan-Er looked at the Emperor Shang and questioned him coldly.

"You don't need to worry. When I came, I had already made my decision. As for you, if you have time to worry about me, you might as well worry about yourself. You are not suited to doing bad things at all. " After Nighttime had finished saying those words, he leisurely left with water in his arms.

When they arrived at the entrance of the cell, Night Emperor Shang heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he held back.

He just wanted to kill Wan-Er the moment he saw her.

But no.

Xiang Wan'er was the only one who could testify for Shui Sheng. She was also the only one who could save water.

Even if the Crown Prince had returned, he would never let the matter about the Crown Princess be known to the public. Plus, she had been living alone in the Crown Prince's room for so many years, and she was also the daughter of the Shangguan family. Even if the Emperor found out about the truth, he would still bury the truth. As for the empress, she would never give up on Shangguan Yun at a critical moment like this.

Therefore, they were likely to let Shui Yuehan be the scapegoat. The best way was to go to Wan-Er.

As long as Wan-Er was willing to testify, all problems would be solved.

And just now … He almost killed that woman. Unforgivable!

Hugging on to Shui Ruo, Night Emperor Shang took a deep breath, then activated his Qing Gong and ran out of the palace.

Inside the prison, Wan'er was holding the whip in a daze. Her mind was filled with what Ye Shang had said to her earlier.

He said she wasn't fit to do bad things?

"Ha!" "Hahaha!" She smiled at Wan-Er. Her eyes were full of tears.

So he already knew that he did not care about her at all.

He knew she had not volunteered.

"To, to the girl?" The steward looked at Wan-Er with fear, crying and laughing at the same time.

"It's fine. All of you come with me to see the empress." Tell me everything that happened! "

He wiped his tears away and his eyes became determined again.

No matter what he knew, no matter how much he understood her, no matter how much she regretted it, since she was involved in this matter, there was no way for her to turn back.

Indeed, she did not want the water to live on.

From this moment on, she could no longer remain at a loss.

He thought about it for a while and then became serious.

In the middle of the night, in the empress's chambers.

The normally domineering queen was now lying on her rocking chair with a tired expression, letting the maidservants by her side massage her shoulders and legs.

"Hongmei, how many years have you been following me for?" The empress sounded exhausted.

"In reply to Empress, this servant has been with you for over twenty years." The woman called Hong Mei replied respectfully.

This woman wore gorgeous clothes and was the head aunt of the empress's palace. Similarly, she was the person the empress trusted the most.

As the empress, there weren't many people whom she could trust and there were only a few who she trusted the most. However, Hong Mei was the only one who followed her ever since she entered the palace.

After hearing Hongmei's reply, the Queen couldn't help but sigh. "Sigh, as expected, interacting with others is like brewing wine. The longer you stay together, the stronger the taste becomes. I have groomed so many ladies in the palace, but in the end, only Hongmei was able to stay by my side. "

The queen said, as if mocking herself.

"Empress, don't be sad. The reason why none of the ladies were able to stay by the Empress's side is because they were too impatient." Being impetuous is a great taboo for those in the palace. "

Hong Mei said respectfully.

"Yeah. But how many people wouldn't be impetuous? Even the Crown Princess was too anxious. " The queen frowned again when she talked about the princess consort.

"Empress thinks?" Hong Mei wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"She probably let that Shui Ruo know that she's pregnant on purpose, right?" The Queen guessed.

"Do you mean that the Crown Princess wants to eliminate him?" Hong Mei was surprised.

"Yes, indeed. "She only pitied my unborn grandson because she lost all of her selfish desires." As the empress spoke, her head began to hurt again.

"Empress, don't be sad."

Hong Mei advised.

"Not sad?" I want to. However, my grandson disappeared just like that. But I can't even scold the crown prince's consort a little. " The Queen smiled wryly.

"Empress." Hongmei looked worriedly at the Queen. In the end, he could only burn the Calm Incense.

"Empress, this servant will massage your head. Please rest." With that, Hong Mei began to kowtow for the Queen.

The room was completely silent, and the occasional fragrance that wafted into his nose and breath caused him to feel relaxed and happy.

Under such comfortable conditions, the empress could not help but drift off, almost falling asleep.

"Let me in!" Just as the empress was about to fall asleep, she heard voices coming from outside. The owner of the voice was very irritable.

In the room, Hongmei's movements couldn't help but slow down.

The empress opened her eyes when she heard this. His eyes were clear and bright.

"Hongmei, go out and let that girl in." The empress's voice was very faint. Once she finished speaking, she straightened her clothes, and the tired expression on her face was replaced with a solemn one.

After such a solemn and perfect expression was wrapped up, the queen, who usually had the bearing of a mother to rule the world, appeared before Hongmei once more.

Hongmei looked at the Queen and knew that her mind was set. She had no choice but to go out.

"You, I already told you, I have urgent business with the empress."

Wan-Er looked at the men in front of her angrily. She couldn't wait to bite them to death.

"Even if it's urgent, it's too late. Pay attention to the girl next time."

Just as Wan'er was getting angry, she heard the voice of a girl in the room.

Wan'er's eyes lit up when she heard the voice. "It's Hong Mei!" "Elder sister Hongmei, you've come at the perfect time. Quickly let these blind people avoid you. I have business with the Empress."

"Un, I understand." The Empress is also sending you in. " Hongmei smiled at Wan'er and then ordered the gatekeeper to leave for the time being.

When everyone had left, Wan'er was allowed to enter.

When he got to the queen's chamber, Wan-Er's expression changed and she kneeled on the floor.

"Empress, something terrible has happened." Wan'er sounded anxious, so the empress couldn't help raising her eyes and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"It's the Sky Prison!" "Just now, the Second Prince snatched away the water."

When he said those words to Wan-Er, his voice was full of grievance.

The queen stood up.

"What did you say?"

The empress looked at Wan'er in disbelief. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined that Nightmare would come to rob her!

"What the hell is going on? Jing Wang, he … "He doesn't look like such an ignorant person." The Queen did not understand.

"To reply esteemed wangfei, it was Wan'er's fault. Wan-Er was dissatisfied with Shui Long hurting the crown prince's wife, so she went to her cell and punished that woman in order to avenge her young royal grandson. But who would have thought that when the Second Prince saw her, he snatched her away out of anger."

He was very careful when speaking to Wan'er, afraid that the empress would punish him if she got angry.

"You mean, you were torturing water?" When the empress heard this, she felt a headache.

Did this woman even have a brain? Tomorrow, the emperor would interrogate Shui Long, and today, she was actually going to torture him?

"Esteemed Empress, Wan'er is just too angry." Hearing the empress's question, Wan-Er knew things were not going well, so she could only continue to feel wronged.

"Can't? Humph! I want to see how you're going to end this. " The empress scoffed.

"Empress." Wan-Er felt less and less confident.

The empress saw that she was truly afraid, so she could only rub her forehead and say, "Alright, alright. I understand now." Even though she said you were in the wrong, Shui Long was already unforgivable. If it wasn't for the Emperor waiting to interrogate her tomorrow, she would already be dead. For such a person, even if you tried to torture him, it wouldn't hurt much. But the trouble is, the Night Emperor Shang is the one. If it was someone else who took the person away, I can just go and capture him back. But this Night Emperor Shang is different. "

The queen paused.

"What's the difference?" Wan-Er didn't understand.

"Right now in the capital, other than the Emperor, I can make enemies with anyone else, but only that Emperor Shang, I don't wish to make a move against him." The empress's words were very clear. Then he looked at Wan'er, not caring about what she said, and directly said, "So, let's leave this matter at that for now." I will not intervene, and you can just sleep in peace for the night. For this matter, he will probably not let it go just like that. The real trouble is tomorrow. "

The Queen waved her hand, signaling for Wan-Er to go down first.

Wan-Er was shocked by the empress's attitude. She had thought that the empress would be so angry that she would immediately go and capture her. Who would have thought that she would be so unmoved? Furthermore, she seemed to be thinking about other things. Could it be that she really did do something wrong?

Thinking of this, Wan'er couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing that the empress wasn't going to talk to her anymore, Xiang'er had no choice but to leave.

The empress's expression changed as she walked towards Wan-Er.

She gritted her teeth and looked in the direction that Wan Er had left. Her eyes were dark and cloudy.

"Empress, did something happen?" After he left for Wan'er, Hongmei couldn't help but worry when she saw the empress's appearance.

"Bastard, what a bastard!" The empress was infuriated. She flung her sleeves and knocked over the tea table on the side.

"Please calm your anger, Empress." Seeing the empress's reaction, Hongmei quickly kneeled on the ground.

It wasn't easy for the empress to be angry like this.
