At this time, a guard replied: "Your Majesty, we have searched the whole house, but Han Qiancheng was not found."
Yan Jingxuan's face tightened and he felt something was wrong and asked, "Where is Han Qianyu?"
The guard replied: "Not here either."
Yan Jingxuan was shocked. Since the Han brothers and sisters were not at home, there was only one possibility, that is, they escaped!
And if he sent troops to surround him, it was impossible for the Han family to get the news in advance, unless it was...
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Madam Han: "So Madam is covering for their brother and sister?"
Mrs. Han said: "I don't understand what you are talking about?"
Yan Jingxuan ordered with a cold face: "Go and find it, there must be a secret passage in the house. Even if I dig three feet under the ground, I will catch their brother and sister!"
"yes!"
The guards received the order and began to search for the secret passage in the house.
Jingxuan was a little impatient. Mrs. Han had dragged him around for a while. It must have been that Han Qiancheng and his sister had escaped by now.
It's just that it's so big outside the capital, so he has to find where the secret passage leads to before he can continue his search.
But he didn't believe that the siblings would abandon their mother?
Yan Jingxuan narrowed his eyes, looked at Mrs. Han and said, "I heard that Han Qiancheng was a filial son? In my opinion, he was nothing more than that. He abandoned his mother and ran away alone. Even if he did escape, he would probably be like this in his life.
Live in regret and pain."
Mrs. Han said, "If you think so, you are wrong. I forced Cheng'er to escape with his sister.
Yan Jingxuan, you are very smart, you can find this place in just one day, but when Chenger did this, our Han family had already thought of the consequences.
I, a woman, can't do anything big, but I can protect my son and daughter so that they have no worries. As long as they live, my Han family will not lose."
As she spoke, she took out a dagger from her arms and pierced her chest without hesitation.
Yan Jingxuan wanted to stop it but it was too late. He watched Mrs. Han commit suicide in front of him, protecting her children in her own way.
Just like Yan Qin and Mrs. Yan who volunteered to die in order for him to ascend to the position of crown prince.
He was stunned on the spot, feeling a little heavy for a moment. Too many people had sacrificed for the position of crown prince. Is it worth it?
If he could, he just wanted to be that dandy boy who had nothing to do all day long, instead of shouldering this heavy yoke.
But now he couldn't help it anymore, he had no choice but to keep going.
Yan Jingxuan closed his eyes and listened to the guard's voice: "Found it, found the secret passage!"
He took a deep breath and ordered the people behind him: "Collect Mrs. Han's body!"
...
outside the city.
Han Qiancheng took his sister and escaped from the city through a secret passage. He didn't know when Yan Jingxuan would catch up, nor did he expect that he would be exposed so quickly.
He felt a little regretful that he had been hasty and overestimated his own resourcefulness.
Now the plan not only failed, but also implicated his mother, causing his sister to flee with him and her future was in danger.
Maybe if he hadn't left the token, Yan Jingxuan wouldn't have thought it was him.
But it's useless to say anything now. Even when the Han family was in trouble and he was imprisoned, he was never in such a mess.
This time he lost!
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard an "ah" sound, turned around and saw his sister falling to the ground.
Han Qiancheng reached out to help her, but Han Qianyu suddenly waved away his hand and burst into tears: "It's all your fault, why did you go to assassinate Yan Jingxuan?"
