Chapter 206 Rebellion
A gentle breeze brushed against Ling Yao's face, sending a chill through him.
Hearing that Tian Tian had been taken away, his heart felt as if it were being crushed by a ten-thousand-pound boulder.
In an instant, his mind went blank, with only one thought swirling in his head: "Find Tian Tian, find Tian Tian..."
After a long while, Ling Yao looked up as if waking from a dream, his eyes filled with urgency, "Where was she taken?"
When Tian Xue saw his eyes, which were almost filled with irrationality, her expression changed.
"She was taken to the outskirts of the city..."
Tian Xue kindly reminded him, "There are several of them, Young Master Ling, you should calm down."
Ling Yao wouldn't listen to a word he said. He urged anxiously, "Time waits for no one. Take me there quickly."
His intense anxiety left him no time to think things through.
Tian Xue turned around angrily, "Then let's go."
They didn't linger and quickly left the county town, heading out of town.
Ling Yao hurried along, quickly passing through the streets and alleys.
All he can think about now is finding Tian Tian as soon as possible and ensuring her safety.
Ling Yao followed Tian Jinzhi and Tian Xue, hurrying all the way to the abandoned house in the suburbs.
All around was silent, save for the gentle breeze...
Ling Yao then realized that something was wrong.
His gaze swept across the room... his eyes filled with doubt.
Wasn't it said that Tian Tian was taken away by several men in black? How come there's no trace of them here?
"Young Master Ling, Tian Tian is inside. Let's go in and take a look," Tian Jinzhi and Tian Xue said nervously.
Ling Yao suddenly became alert and turned around. "Something's strange..."
But just as he turned around, before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through the back of his head...
His vision went black, accompanied by a wave of dizziness, and he collapsed to the ground.
But he didn't actually faint...
Then, he was dragged into the house and thrown on the ground.
At this moment, Tian Tian heard a noise and secretly opened her eyes a crack, and saw a familiar figure.
How does Qin Qingyun do things?
Wasn't the plan to have him notify the yamen runners and at the same time stop Ling Yao from coming?
What... the constables haven't arrived yet, but Ling Yao has?
"Alright, I'll take Tian Tian out. Tian Xue, you stay here and wait for this kid to wake up."
It was Tian Zhigao who knocked Ling Yao unconscious.
He gripped a wooden stick tightly in his hand, his face sinister. "When he wakes up, you keep pestering him until he takes responsibility."
"If he refuses to take responsibility, then shout."
“Your mother, your third aunt, your aunt and I rushed in.”
It turns out that the three people who took Tian Tian away were Tian Zhigao, Wang Xiuying, and Guo Xiuyun.
Tian Xue nodded shyly, "Yes, I understand, Dad."
Tian Tian was extremely depressed.
The original plan was to have Qin Qingyun bring the yamen runners over and arrest all these people and put them in jail.
But now there's a deviation...
If she really gets taken away by Tian Zhigao, leaving Ling Yao behind with Tian Xue...
She really let Ling Yao down.
Ling Yao is the same. She was arrested, so he should have reported it to the authorities or asked for help. Why did he come alone?
Ling Yao hadn't actually fainted; he just had a terrible headache and heard people talking, so he pretended to be unconscious.
After listening to Tian Zhigao's words, he finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that this whole thing was orchestrated by Tian Jinzhi and Tian Xue's family.
Is it to make him take responsibility for Tian Xue?
Tian Zhigao picked up Tian Tian, preparing to take her away.
At this point... Tian Tian couldn't pretend to be unconscious anymore; she had to buy herself some time.
We can't... we can't let Ling Yao be entangled with Tian Xue.
Thinking of this, Tian Tian struggled to 'wake up,' shouting, "Tian Zhigao!! What are you doing?!"
Tian Zhigao did not expect Tian Tian to wake up at this crucial moment.
A resolute glint appeared in his eyes as he gripped the wooden stick and swung it...
Ling Yao finally opened his eyes. The surrounding scenery was blurry, but he could vaguely see Tian Zhigao swinging a wooden stick to hit Tian Tian.
He didn't care about anything else and rushed over to shove Tian Zhigao aside with his body.
Ling Yao swayed slightly, but insisted on standing in front of Tian Tian.
"Second, young lady, are you alright?"
His voice trembled...
Tian Tian quickly grabbed his arm to steady him. "I'm fine, how about you? How are you?"
Ling Yao barely managed to stay conscious when Tian Zhigao struck him on the back of the head with a stick...
The dizziness was so intense, and I felt nauseous.
But he didn't want Tian Tian to worry, so he said, "It's nothing."
Tian Zhigao looked at the stick in his hand in confusion. He had used so much force, yet he hadn't fainted.
Looks like I still don't have enough strength, then... let's hit him again!
He picked up the stick and gripped it with both hands...
Seeing this, Ling Yao turned around and hugged Tian Tian, using his back to meet Tian Zhigao's stick.
"Qin Qingyun!!!"
Tian Tian's arm went under Ling Yao's armpit, protecting the back of his head as much as possible.
It's okay if someone hits your back or legs, but never hit you on the back of the head...
But a ruthless glint flashed in Tian Zhigao's eyes, and he pointed the wooden stick directly at the back of Ling Yao's head.
Time seemed to slow down...
Just as the wooden stick was about to fall, the silence was shattered by the sound of a wooden door bursting open.
"Catch them!!" Qin Qingyun's voice rang out.
The yamen runners stormed in, looking menacing!
Tian Zhigao stopped abruptly and took two steps back in a panic.
The constables acted swiftly and forcefully, snatching the wooden stick from Tian Zhigao's hands, locking his hands, and forcefully pressing him to the ground.
The other constables arrested Tian Jinzhi and Tian Xue.
Tian Tian reminded them, "Wang Xiuying and Guo Xiuyun are nearby."
"Go and arrest them."
Ling Yao's head was spinning, his consciousness was hazy. Realizing the constables had arrived, he felt a wave of relief and collapsed into Tian Tian's arms...
"Young Master Ling?!"
Li Huaiyuan rushed to Ling Yao and exclaimed urgently, "Your Highness?!"
"Guards! Quickly escort His Highness back to the city and fetch the best doctor!!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!"
Li Huaiyuan was in a panic. Ling Yao was his aunt's only child, and also the emperor's only child.
If anything happens to him...
Tian Tian suddenly realized, "Your Highness?"
Li Huaiyuan looked at the subdued Tian Zhigao, his eyes filled with rage, "You audacious scoundrel, how dare you plot against the Crown Prince! This is outrageous!"
"Take them back to the prison and await their fate!"
Tian Zhigao was being escorted by yamen runners, his face pale and covered in sweat.
The Crown Prince?
His eyes widened in horror.
This young master Ling is actually the crown prince?
He actually hit the crown prince?
"I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"
"This humble subject had no idea he was the Crown Prince."
At this point, Tian Zhigao was truly afraid!
But Li Huaiyuan looked at him coldly, clearly not intending to listen to his sophistry.
"Just because he's not the crown prince, does that mean we can fight him?!"
Tian Jinzhi and Tian Xue were also dumbfounded.
Young Master Ling is the Crown Prince?!
That explains why Wei Shaoyuan was so polite to him...
"My lord, we didn't hit the crown prince, we didn't know anything about it, my lord..." Tian Jinzhi and Tian Xue were unwilling, but for now, they could only beg for mercy.
