Aside from Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, that old woman was not to be underestimated. She could not defeat Qian Jiyun, so she wanted to reap the benefits while others dealt with them.

Why didn’t she realize that Qian Jiyun would have died hundreds or thousands of times if he were that easy to deal with?

Prince Sui knew that no one in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence was good… No, it was more like no one was easy to oppose. Hence, he had learned his lesson and did not dare to provoke them again.

However, just because he did not dare to provoke Qian Jiyun again did not imply that everyone felt the same way.

His father had been plotting against Qian Jiyun eagerly, and his mother was the most infuriating. She believed everyone but him. He told her to stay away from his father and live a peaceful life in the palace, but she refused to listen.

He was already in this state. If anyone else had been his mother, she would have humbly begged someone to save him.

However, his mother did not have such intentions. She talked about avenging him every day and wanted Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue to die without burial grounds. Even he, her son, could not stand it anymore.

He reckoned that the old woman from the Prince Zhan Yun Residence must have sent word to the palace when Qian Jiyun returned.

And she must have sent word to not only his father but also his mother.

The old Emperor did not dare to attack Qian Jiyun openly, but there was still the unfavored Consort Wen! Besides, Prince Sui was incompetent. He had not made any contributions growing up.

Hence, the old Emperor had to be plotting to use his mother to deal with Qian Jiyun, right?

It would be good if she could deal with Qian Jiyun. But even if she could not, causing mutual harm and making Qian Jiyun suffer some losses would also be acceptable.

Hence, Prince Sui knew he had to send someone to the palace to stop this quickly.

If the news reached his mother, he reckoned he would not be able to stop her even if he wanted to. His mother would definitely not listen to him. She would only think that this was an opportunity to make a contribution to the old emperor and rush to her death.

Prince Sui could only send someone to the palace to intercept the news of Qian Jiyun’s return from that old woman in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.

He wondered if he could make it in time. After all, Xue Yingyue would be the first to find out about Qian Jiyun’s return.

“Mother, I’m still counting on An Jiuyue to give me the antidote! Don’t cause any more trouble. I can’t take it anymore.”

He could not help but mutter as he looked up at the blue sky.

He really could not take it anymore. His arms were excruciatingly painful. Every time he moved, it hurt, like having his arms severed. It was a pain worse than most people could handle.

“He’s back? He’s finally back! I’ve been waiting!”

Consort Wen had already received the news in her palace. Prince Sui’s men were too late and could not intercept it.

“Your Highness, now that Prince Zhan Yun and the Princess Consort are back, do you think we should send Prince Sui—”

A young nanny stood beside Consort Wen and spoke carefully. However, before she could finish her question, Consort Wen glared at her fiercely.

“Go where?”

Consort Wen wished she could gnaw a few chunks of Qian Jiyun and his wife’s flesh.

Would that couple give her son the antidote? Of course not. They could have been making fun of her son’s suffering..
