Yun Xi, where are you going? Yun Xi raised her hand and responded decisively: "I have nowhere to go, and I don't want to travel far." Her voice was full of unquestionable determination. Ning looked at everyone, indicating that they didn't need to be busy with unnecessary preparations. This storm, which had already alarmed the Heavenly Family, was like a violent storm, and there was no way to avoid it.

Liu Banruo, the concubine of the palace, was staring at Yun Xi at the moment, with a smile that looked intimate but was actually complicated. "Since the princess has no intention of traveling far away, why don't you chat with me?" There was a hint of temptation and teasing in her words.

Yun Xi's eyes were as cold as ice, and she rejected him mercilessly: "Although I have no intention of traveling far, I also have no intention of chatting with you. Empress Liu, please do as you please, I don't have time for socializing."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the inner room, leaving Liu Banruo alone there, with a hint of embarrassment and unwillingness in her smile.

Liu Prajna was not discouraged by Yun Xi's indifference. Instead, she smiled and said calmly, "In this case, I will wait here for the princess to be free, and then continue what we have not said."

She sat down leisurely in the side hall. There was no one in the pavilion, not even a cup of tea. She picked up a book and started reading as if no one was around.

Aunt Qingyang hurried into the room, holding Yunxi's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry: "Liu Fei's sudden visit must be no accident." Yunxi sighed and said: "Zhang Sima's complaint may be her behind the scenes. When I went out that day, I saw him sneaking around, and Zhang Chunru has been unusually quiet these two days. It turns out that they are all planning this."

"This man is so sinister and cunning!" Aunt Qingyang was furious. Yun Xi seemed unusually calm: "I never thought I could escape this disaster so easily. Even if the emperor is furious, he will not take my life. At most, he will deprive me of my title and remove my general position. But one day, I will revive myself through my own efforts. However, I will never accept this humiliation of kneeling down."

Aunt Qingyang was even more worried when she heard this: "Disobeying the emperor's order is a crime of disrespect!" She knew that the emperor's majesty could not be violated, but she was more worried about Yunxi's safety. However, Yunxi seemed very firm: "Don't worry, aunt, I know what to do. If the emperor really imprisoned me for this matter, it would only be a temporary measure. When his anger subsides, I will listen to my master's advice and I will be safe."

"But how can you bear the suffering in prison?" Aunt Qingyang felt very distressed.

Yun Xi held her hand tightly and said firmly: "Aunt, although I am a woman, I also know that life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. No matter what kind of suffering I face, I can grit my teeth and get through it."

"Aunt, if anything happens to me, you must tell the people in the General's Mansion not to tell my mother-in-law about it." Yun Xi's voice choked, "I know I am unfilial, but I just want to keep the family safe." She raised her head and took a deep breath, holding back her tears, and said firmly again: "Tell Yi Han not to plead for me. No one needs to interfere in this matter, especially the Censorate and Master. I am not destined to die, and the Empress Dowager will definitely try to save me. So, please don't take risks for me."

Aunt Qingyang stared at Yun Xi, her eyes full of doubt and worry: "Are you so sure? Will the Empress Dowager really save you?" Yun Xi nodded, her eyes flashing with confidence: "I am sure of it. I am still useful to the Empress Dowager, she will not let me die easily. When the emperor's anger subsides, she will come to the rescue."

Although Aunt Qingyang had been with the Empress Dowager for many years, she had to admit that her mind was sometimes hard to fathom.

She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not express her worries.

How could she bear to let Yun Xi kowtow in front of the grave of that vicious old woman? That was the resting place of the enemy who killed the princess' mother!

Liu Banruo was leisurely flipping through a book outside, her red lips slightly raised, a hint of viciousness revealed in her smile.

All of this was planned by her. She was about to enter the palace as a concubine. It would be best if she could get rid of this thorn in her side before that.

"The imperial edict has arrived!" Sima Zhang's sharp voice came from outside the door.

Liu Prajna smiled slightly, stood up and took the maid to quietly walk behind the side door, avoiding everyone's sight.

With the arrival of the imperial edict, the whole Lingyun Pavilion was in an uproar. The old man hurried over with Mrs. Mo and a group of servants, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Yun Xi stood in front of the window, looking at the busy figures outside, but her heart was calm.
