Chapter 381: Prison Break? Never Seen
"I see you, the Queen."
The familiar voice was like a shower of blessings from heaven, extinguishing all the Queen's anger.
The queen has lived in the harem for a long time and has few opportunities to see Huo Qingyun.
But every time they met, the queen couldn't help but feel shaken and lost her composure.
"What is Commander Huo doing in the Heavenly Prison?" The Queen's voice softened unconsciously.
“The Imperial Guards have been ordered to investigate the Red Coral case together with the Heavenly Prison. I heard that several suspects have been identified. I came to take a look.
I wonder why the Queen came to the prison in person?"
Huo Qingyun's voice was gentle and clear, which was his usual tone, but the queen thought this was a special treatment for her.
"You've come at the right time. Luo Xiaoran and Wei An, the master and servant, are disrespectful to me. I want you to take them down immediately!"
"Your Highness," Huo Qingyun raised his drooping eyelids slightly, "these two people are already in the Heavenly Prison."
So, how can we say “take it down”?
Luo Xiaoran, who understood the meaning of Huo Qingyun's words at the first moment, twitched the corners of her mouth and wanted to laugh but held it back.
Huo Qingyun arrived in time, the stalemate was eased, and the tension in Luo Xiaoran's heart also relaxed a little.
While everyone's attention was not on them, Luo Xiaoran took out the unused medicine and bandaged Wei An's back wound.
Wei An really didn't expect that Luo Xiaoran would have the leisure to do this at this time. He turned his head to look at Luo Xiaoran with his big eyes, but Luo Xiaoran turned his head back, forcing him to avoid her dumbfounded little face.
The queen was choked by Huo Qingyun's words.
"Can't you see that the two of them are about to break out of prison?"
“…I haven’t seen it.”
"..."
"What the Queen doesn't know is that Commander Huo and Luo Xiaoran were already acquainted when they were praying for blessings during the Mid-Autumn Festival at Anruo Temple.
Qingyi hesitated just now because he was afraid that speaking out about this matter would embarrass the Prince of Yan."
Somehow, Chen Lingyi's words suddenly flashed through the Queen's mind. Her pretty face turned slightly cold, and she said bluntly:
"Huo Qingyun, are you protecting Luo Xiaoran?"
Huo Qingyun's expression did not change.
"Your Majesty, Luo Xiaoran has a special status and is the future Princess of Yan acknowledged by the Grand Empress Dowager herself.
If she made any mistake, not only would His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan be furious, but the Empress Dowager would also probably intervene.
As a minister, I receive the salary from my master, so I should relieve his worries."
"You actually used the Empress Dowager to pressure me? Do you know that if it weren't for her, I would..."
"Miss!"
The Queen revealed her true feelings and even dropped the term "this Queen".
Qinghuan, who was standing aside, was so angry that her eyes were red with anger. She did not care about the hierarchy and immediately interrupted the Queen, fearing that the Queen would say something that should not be said.
Because the young lady loved Huo Qingyun, the master replaced all the servants in the young lady's courtyard!
Only she and the young lady grew up together, and all the family members were slaves in the Lin family. It was impossible for them to betray the young lady, so she was lucky enough to save her life.
Qing Huan knew that if the news got out, her good days would be over, and even her life would be over.
The Queen stopped talking abruptly. Qinghuan's reminder made her regain some sanity, but she felt sad.
If there were only the two of them here, the Queen would definitely finish what she had just said. She had endured it for too long, and she needed to talk to Huo Qingyun.
In the Queen's heart, she didn't believe that Huo Qingyun didn't care about her at all, otherwise why had Huo Qingyun not married yet?
The Queen thought that she and Huo Qingyun were childhood sweethearts, and if Huo Qingyun had a crush on someone, it could only be her!
After such erotic fantasies, the queen was in a very good mood.
"Okay! I won't make things difficult for you. Today, I won't bother with Luo Xiaoran's disrespect.
But my anger needs blood to be extinguished, so let Wei An, who is beside her, be put to death!"
Luo Xiaoran paused while bandaging Wei An, then quickened her movements.
In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she warned Wei An:
"I won't let her kill you, but I may not be able to protect you, so - you have to run!"
Wei An's pupils shrank slightly, "If I run away, what will happen to the princess?"
Luo Xiaoran calmly tied a beautiful bow at the end of the bandage.
The butterfly's snow-white wings trembled along with Wei An's trembling body, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly away in the next second.
"I am the beloved woman of His Royal Highness Prince Yan, the future Princess of Yan recognized by the Grand Empress Dowager herself, and the aunt of the Empress who will soon become the Queen. How dare she kill me?"
A trace of guilt flashed in Wei An's eyes. The princess was right. The queen might dare to torture the princess, but she didn't dare to really kill her.
Instead, the princess had to confront the queen again and again in order to protect herself. It was he who implicated the princess!
Huo Qingyun frowned slightly. He could find reasons to protect Luo Xiaoran, but Wei An was just a maid.
The Queen was already furious today. She no longer pursued Luo Xiaoran and had already backed down.
If he cannot even kill a maid now, he will probably get angry again, and then there will be no way to resolve the situation.
Therefore, when Lin Cheng drew his sword and walked towards Wei An, Huo Qingyun did not say anything to stop him.
