When they arrived near the Qianqing Palace, Yan Muxi asked Yu Wantai to let him down.
Little did she know that the fact that she was carried on Yu Wantai's back had become a topic of conversation among the public. On the surface, people said that their loving couple was the envy of others, but in fact, every word they said was accusing her of being coquettish and indecent.
Yan Yongchen was imprisoned. Yan Muxi, as a daughter of the Yan family, was not despised by her husband's family. She was also able to seduce Prince Rong to do indecent things in public. In the eyes of others, she was extremely charming.
As soon as the couple entered the hall, the discussions in the hall suddenly became much weaker. Yu Wantai's eyes darkened and he held Yan Muxi's hand tightly in his palm.
When someone came to greet him, he asked Yan Muxi to call him and made his attitude of protecting his wife clear.
Yan Muxi had no intention of dealing with irrelevant people, so she sat down with an indifferent expression. People who didn't understand what was going on thought that she was just pretending to be the Crown Prince's Consort because she was not well-off.
But soon, everyone no longer had time to worry about trivial matters.
As the banquet was about to start, the emperor, empress and concubines did not show up, so the commander of the Imperial Guards led the Imperial Guards to surround the Qianqing Palace.
The Royal Guards surrounded the palace, so something big must have happened. For a moment, everyone was in a panic.
There were many high-ranking officials present, and the commander of the Royal Guards made a special explanation, "An assassin broke into the harem, and we were acting on orders. I hope that all the lords and ladies will cooperate and not cause any unnecessary trouble."
Grand Tutor Xue asked, "The palace is heavily guarded, how could an assassin break in without reason? Are the emperor and queen safe?"
Weiyuan Hou also asked, "Why would an assassin appear out of nowhere? Are the emperor and the mistress all okay?"
"Don't worry, everyone. The emperor is safe and sound." The commander of the Imperial Guard bowed and withdrew, glancing at Marquis Weiyuan before leaving.
Marquis Weiyuan felt his whole body go numb after seeing this look. He had a feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't ask about it in detail in front of so many people.
Yan Muxi breathed a sigh of relief. The Imperial Guards trapped everyone in the Qianqing Hall on the pretext of catching an assassin. This must have been the order of Emperor Yuanjing.
The murder of the prince could not be concealed, and Emperor Yuanjing blamed the assassin for the murder of the Sixth Prince, and he certainly did not want to make the inner reasons public.
Therefore, even if Emperor Yuanjing wanted to vent his anger on her and the people in Prince Rong's Mansion, he would find a reasonable excuse and should not be able to take care of them at the moment.
Not long after, the news that Prince Rui and Concubine Chen had been murdered reached the Qianqing Palace.
Two princes of Dafeng were lost in one day, and everyone was shocked. Marquis Weiyuan ignored the obstruction of the imperial guards, broke out of the Qianqing Hall and went straight to the inner palace.
Yan Muxi was also terrified. How did Yan Yongchen manage to kill three people and still escape successfully? Moreover, he should have been in the imperial prison, so how could he run rampant in the heavily guarded harem?
Yan Yongchen was more terrifying than she had imagined. Could she really hide the things she had done before from him?
At the same time in Mei'an Garden, the secret guard reported the news he had obtained.
Upon learning that the secret guards of the East Palace had appeared in Merlin, Emperor Yuanjing was extremely angry, but after his anger, he was only left with heartache, fatigue and helplessness.
"Lord Yan, do you think that the boss's stabbing to death of Xiaoliu was an accident?"
"What I think is not important. What is important is the evidence." Yan Yongchen stood upright at the bottom, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
Emperor Yuan Jing sighed deeply, "Alas, even you want to fool me. I don't know when my former court and harem became a sieve, and everyone can go beyond me to stir up trouble."
"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler. How could he be afraid of a little storm?" Yan Yongchen still maintained a tone of neither servility nor overbearing. His words were clearly flattering, but they did not reveal a trace of fawning.
"You! You are always saying nice things to deceive me."
Seeing that Emperor Yuan Jing's frown had relaxed a little, Yan Yongchen said again: "Your Majesty, I am just telling the truth."
"Don't be a commoner anymore. Once the matter of Marquis Weiyuan is settled, quickly crawl back to the Ministry of Personnel to work for me. Don't stay in my Qianqing Palace and be lazy. It makes me upset."
Yan Yongchen bowed and said, "I will obey your Majesty's orders."
Emperor Yuanjing waved his hand and said, "Go away. Let me stay alone for a while."
When Yan Yongchen bowed and retreated to the palace gate, he stopped and asked, "I haven't been home for many days. Can I go back to see my wife, children and mother?"
Emperor Yuanjing raised his eyes and glanced at him. "Go ahead, but be careful not to get bumped into by others."
When only the eunuch who served him personally was left in the palace, Emperor Yuanjing frowned and raised his hand to touch his aching chest.
As a father, how could he not feel heartbroken after losing two sons at once?
In the case of forcibly occupying the scholar's wife, Prince Rui was wronged because of Prince Rong's son. He heard that Prince Rui had always been thinking about Prince Rong's son's wife, so he wanted to help Prince Rui fulfill his wish and took the opportunity to teach Prince Rong's mansion a lesson.
No matter how ferocious a tiger is, if it is kept in a cage for a long time, it will become a domestic cat. But even if it is a domestic cat, he will never allow it to show its claws.
But he didn't expect that instead of teaching Prince Rong's Mansion a lesson, he allowed someone with ulterior motives to take advantage of it and eliminate the two rivals for the throne at once.
But now, no matter how heartbroken he was, he could do nothing about it. If he really continued to investigate, he might lose another son.
His good prince, who seemed to be the kindest and best-tempered among all the princes, turned out to be the most cruel and ruthless one.
Everyone was trapped for more than two hours, until the beginning of the You hour, when the Royal Guards withdrew, saying that the assassin had been caught. It was initially determined that he was a spy from another country, and his specific identity would only become clear after interrogation.
Immediately afterwards, the eunuch conveyed the oral order of Emperor Yuan Jing, that the palace banquet was cancelled this year and all ministers could return home with their families in an orderly manner.
As the carriage drove away from the palace gate, Yan Mujun patted her chest and said, "I was so scared. I thought I wouldn't be able to leave the palace alive today!"
Yan Muxi also breathed a sigh of relief. "How did the third sister leave Mei'an Garden? Where did she go after leaving Mei'an Garden?"
Yu Wantai was riding a horse. In the carriage, besides Yinxia, there were only the two sisters, Yan Mujun and Yinxia. Yan Mujun lifted the curtain and looked out. After making sure that no outsiders could hear, she began to talk about her experiences that day.
After following the nanny to the inner hall, Yan Muyun was knocked unconscious by someone. When she woke up, she was in Ci'an Palace. The palace servants said that she fainted on her own and that the imperial physician had examined her pulse and found that she fainted due to deficiency of qi and blood.
Yan Muyun is a doctor, how could she not know whether she was losing blood? The palace maid was obviously talking nonsense, but even if she knew she was being fooled, she was not stupid enough to ask the reason.
Not long after she woke up, the Queen Mother asked her to come over for a massage. While she was doing it, a eunuch came to report that Prince Rui had killed Prince Xian, and Concubine Chen had also killed Prince Rui. The Queen Mother fainted after hearing this and it was she who revived them.
The first thing the Queen Mother did when she woke up was to seal the mouths of the servants in the palace. They were not allowed to leak a single word of what they had heard today, including her.
For the sake of her life, she knelt down and swore an oath, promising that she would not reveal a single word. Only then did the Empress Dowager let her leave Ci'an Palace.
After hearing this, Yan Muxi complained, "You've already sworn an oath, and you're still telling others about it?"
Yan Muyun said nonchalantly, "The oath is for others to hear. It doesn't matter whether I abide by it or not. I said nonsense to save my life. Whoever wants to believe it can believe it. Anyway, I don't believe it."
Hearing this, Yan Muxi couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.
She also felt that there was no need to pay too much attention to something as intangible as an oath. If God could take everything into consideration, he would not allow evil people to run rampant and good people to have no blessings.
In short, God is busy and has no time to care about the oath made by a little woman.
