The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Yongchen was the chief examiner of this special examination, and was the first person to be dismissed and investigated.

After the incident, Yan Yongchen was detained in the Qianqing Palace, and the government did not receive the news until dark.

Su Shi didn't care about the difficulty of the night road, and went to Meiyuan to ask for help from Su Taifu at night, but she only got six words from her father, "You will suffer for your own sins."

Su was not discouraged and went to the old house of the Su family again. The eldest and second brothers of the Su family refused to help her. Instead, they advised Su to just stay at home and not to make any more trouble.

After coming out of the Su Mansion, Su was completely stunned. She had always known that her father and brother were dissatisfied with her husband's climb to a high position, but they were just dissatisfied. When did they reach the point of watching him die without helping?

After daybreak, Su visited the residences of several officials with whom he was on good terms, but the responses he received were not satisfactory.

Yan Yongchen was the chief examiner of this special examination. Regardless of whether he had committed corruption or fraud, he would inevitably be punished for dereliction of duty and it would be difficult for him to keep his official position.

And this is exactly the result Yan Muxi wanted.

Yan Yongchen can commit crimes, but he cannot commit the heinous crime of confiscating the property and exterminating the entire family. It would be enough if he were to be removed from the imperial court and become an abandoned child of the people behind the scenes, and no longer be touched by the royal heirs.

On the third day after Yan Yongchen was detained, Su and Qian Manman came to Prince Rong's Mansion together.

Seeing the haggard figure of Princess Rong, Su couldn't even say a word of begging. However, Qian Manman was not a person who read people's minds, and she knelt directly in front of the old Prince Rong.

Without waiting for Qian Manman to beg, Yan Muxi dragged her out.

"Your father hasn't returned home for three days. Sister Xi, please ask your mother to beg Prince Rong..." Qian Manman begged while crying.

Yan Muxi suppressed her annoyance and advised, "It's useless. Prince Rong's Mansion is far away from the court disputes and can't help father."

"But Prince Rong is the emperor's uncle. If you can say a few words for your father in front of the emperor, your father might be released and return home." Qian Manman said as she pushed Yan Muxi away and was about to return to the inner room.

Yan Muxi lost her patience, "If mother wants father to die, then go and beg!"

Qian Manman paused and turned back aggrievedly, "Sister Xi, please don't be angry with mother. Mother didn't mean to embarrass you. I haven't heard from your father for a few days, and mother can't do anything about it!"

Su Shi tried to persuade him, "This is in someone else's house. It's really inappropriate to cry like that. Hurry and wipe your tears."

Qian Manman tried to hold back her tears, but she still wanted to ask, "Can't you really ask Prince Rong to help your father?"

Yan Muxi did not respond to her words, but looked at Su, "Mother, have you met the Crown Prince?"

Su nodded, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the mansion in person yesterday and said that he would help your father clear his name."

Since His Royal Highness has already agreed to help, why do my mother and I need to go around asking for help?" Yan Muxi pretended to be puzzled and asked

"After all, it concerns your father's life. It is better to have multiple guarantees than to rely on just one person." In fact, Su was afraid that the prince could not be trusted.

Although the Yan Mansion is the maternal family of the Crown Prince's concubine, Su has a hunch that Yan Muqing will not let the Crown Prince help Yan Yongchen, and may even do something to add insult to injury.

Moreover, the prince has the Xue family and the Su family behind him. The Su family's attitude is clear on the surface. The prince has a soft and kind temperament and may not be able to make the decision in this matter.

Yan Muxi thought for a moment and warned Su, "Mother, don't forget that father is a close minister of the emperor. It is not necessarily good for him to make friends with too many powerful people."

Hearing this, Su's heart was suddenly shocked.

Yan Yongchen has now aroused the emperor's suspicion. If a large number of dignitaries go to the emperor to plead for mercy, won't the emperor's suspicion be even greater?

After sending Su and Qian Manman away, Yin Xia whispered, "Because of the master's matter, the old lady will leave the house and go to Ciguang Temple tomorrow. I'm afraid they are going to take action."

"Let's do it!" Yan Muxi sighed.

Now is a good opportunity. If it fails this time, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again.

The next day was a cloudy day. Yan Muxi was seen standing under the eaves, looking up at the sky in a daze. Yu Wantai quietly approached her and put the cloak in his hand on her.

"It's already midnight, and the sky is still dark. The first snow of the year should be coming."

Yan Muxi turned around and smiled, "Your Highness is not a sorcerer, so when will he learn to observe the celestial phenomena? Let's go to Zhuxiang Hall quickly, as mother should be awake by now." After saying that, she took his arm affectionately.

Yu Wantai had a hunch that Yan Muxi was worried about something, so he opened his mouth to ask, but after thinking it over, he gave up.

If she wanted him to know something, she would tell him without asking, but if she didn't want him to know, she couldn't tell him even if she asked.

Princess Rong's health was getting worse and worse. She was now only awake two or three times a day, and each time she could not say more than a few words before falling asleep again.

Although no one mentioned life or death, everyone knew that Princess Rong would not be able to hold on for much longer.

When Yan Muxi and the others rushed to Zhuxiang Hall, Princess Rong happened to be awake.

"You, are here!" Princess Rong was so weak that she was barely breathing, but there was still a gentle smile on her face.

Yu Wantai sat down on the round stool in front of the bed and put his hand in her palm. If it was too far away, he would have to use a lot of effort to reach it.

After Princess Rong held her son's hand, her smile widened. "Why do you look thinner?"

Yu Wantai denied, "I'm not thin, mother, I was mistaken."

Princess Rong sighed, "You are not allowed to lose weight, nor are you allowed to be sad, and you are not allowed to embarrass yourself behind your mother's back. Mother only wants you to be well... No matter where mother goes, she can see you, remember?"

"My son will remember this." Yu Wantai smiled with his eyes curved, trying hard to suppress the tears in his eyes, but he couldn't suppress the trembling in his voice.

When facing the departure of a loved one, you won’t get used to it after experiencing it twice. Even if you experience it a thousand times, the heart-wrenching pain will not decrease in the slightest.

But no matter how sad he was, he couldn't show it at all, because if his mother didn't want to see it, he couldn't let her see it.

After a few words, Princess Rong fell asleep again.

When I came out of Zhuxiang Hall, snowflakes were falling from the sky.

Yan Muxi walked forward and hugged Yu Wantai regardless of whether anyone was watching.

Yu Wantai was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed and teased: "Why do you become more clingy as you get older?"

Yan Muxi looked up at him, tears welling up in her sparkling eyes, "You don't have to fool me with words, I understand everything. Hug me, I'll hug you."

After a moment of silence, Yu Wantai sighed, stretched out his arms and held her in his arms.

Many times, silent comfort is the most soothing.

For example, at this moment, the warmth in his arms reminded Yu Wantai that even though he had lost his mother, he still had her, and he was not left with nothing.

At the same time, on the official road leading to Ci'an Temple, carriages and horses were blocked by dozens of masked men.

"Who are you from?" the leading guard shouted.

The masked man said nothing as he raised his sword and attacked the carriage.

The guards drew their swords upon seeing this, but most of them were knocked off their horses before they could even raise their swords. It was obvious that they were losing the fight right from the start.

Just when the masked man thought that the prey was within his grasp, accompanied by a crisp "snap" sound, the horse driving the carriage rushed out of the encirclement like crazy, and the ugly coachman jumped off the carriage, raising the whip in his hand and attacking aggressively.

The coachman's martial arts skills were extremely high, and several of them working together could barely handle him, but they were completely unable to chase after the escaped carriage.
