At the same time in Changle Palace, Yan Muqing saw Yu Jintang coming in and hurried forward, "Your Highness!"

Yu Jintang looked panicked, and was trembling with fear at the sudden call. When he focused his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was Yan Muqing, he grabbed her arm and said, "Muqing, we have to act. Father seems to know everything. He knows everything. How about we, we should..."

Yan Muqing interrupted Yu Jintang's incoherent words with a stern voice, "Your Highness, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Regardless of whether the emperor knows about this or not, we have no way to retreat. The lives of my grandfather's family and the Xue family, young and old, all depend on your Highness. If we fail, everyone will die early. So your Highness must not have any thoughts of retreating. In tomorrow's battle, we can only win, not lose. No one can afford to lose."

Seeing Yu Jintang's eyes avoiding her, Yan Muqing grabbed his hand and said, "Father has dismissed the grand court meetings for half a month. He asked Your Highness to go to the Qianqing Palace today. But what did he say to Your Highness alone?"

Emperor Yuanjing's series of psychedelic actions made Yu Jintang, who was originally undecided about seizing the throne, more determined.

Like many ministers who were concerned about the country and the people, Yu Jintang was eager to protect the interests of Dafeng and seek due justice for the eldest princess and the fifth prince who had died unjustly.

The belief that had been strengthened with great difficulty suddenly collapsed again. Yan Muqing had to figure out what was going on. The result would soon be known, and there must not be any mistakes.

The pain in his hand brought Yu Jintang back to his senses. He said in a trembling voice, "My father called me to the imperial study alone and asked me if I still remembered how he locked me in a ring to teach me when I was young. He also asked me if I had any dissatisfaction with him and that I could tell him if I had any dissatisfaction...My father said that he was old and his mind was still clear. He made a mistake and would correct it. He asked me not to bear a grudge against him. He had already lost his eldest brother and fifth brother, and he didn't want to lose any more flesh and blood..."

After committing such a sin, Emperor Yuanjing still tried to play the family card? Yan Muqing suppressed the sarcasm in her eyes and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, don't blame yourself too much. You just want to protect the interests of the people of Dafeng and seek justice for your eldest sister and the fifth emperor. You don't want to hurt your father. Your Highness is the crown prince and was supposed to ascend the throne. Now he just ascended the throne earlier. If your father is willing to pass the throne to you, he is still the emperor respected by everyone. For the betterment of the people of Dafeng, what does your guilt mean to you?"

"Yes, Mu Qing, you are right. Compared with the guilt of thousands of Dafeng people, my guilt is nothing. It's nothing." Yu Jintang hugged Yan Muqing into his arms, "Mu Qing, I'm lucky to have you, I'm lucky to have you."

Yan Muqing hugged him back and said, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side, whether you live or die."

The Xue family and the Su family have already gathered most of the court officials, and the Imperial Guards have also laid hidden lines in advance. Now that the east wind has arrived, success or failure depends on tomorrow's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate.

If Yu Jintang succeeds in ascending the throne, the fate of everyone in the previous life will be completely changed. If he fails, she will accompany him to the underworld just like in the previous life.

She has tried her best to change her fate, and the outcome is up to God. After all, she has lived one more life and had several more years of companionship, so she should be content.

……

The weather had been gloomy all night. When the morning hour was approaching, Yan Muyun was awakened by the heat. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Too lazy to trouble the servants to change the ice basin, she simply picked up the sleeping Qing Ge'er and went to Yan Muxi's room.

Yan Muxi no longer has the good sleep she had when she was young. She had already woken up and was leaning on the couch reading a storybook. When she saw the mother and son come in, she was puzzled for a moment and smiled: "How did the third sister learn to be so clingy after getting married! It's not enough to have a son to accompany you, but you still cling to your sisters all the time."

Yan Mujun glared at her, "You never forget to tease people no matter when or where!" Her eyes caught sight of the storybook placed aside, and her eyes widened, "Second sister is interested in reading the storybook. Do you think that eldest sister and the prince will be safe?"

"Third sister, you think too highly of me. I'm not a fortune teller. How can I predict things that haven't happened yet?" Yan Muxi rubbed Qing'er's rosy little face.

Princess Mingxin is half a year older than Qing'er. At the age of three, she is innocent and lovely. If the prince is defeated, Mingxin will definitely be dragged down. However, as a member of the royal family, she will not bear the blame and her life is temporarily safe.

But Mingxin's life is only temporarily safe. She has asked Dongyu to inquire about the current situation of the Yan family. Old Mrs. Yan is now bedridden and is afraid that she is not far from death.

Old Madam Yan has been planning for half her life, and she will definitely not die without any worries. If Yan Muching fails to protect her daughter, Mingxin's life will be in danger.

Yan Muyun also thought of Ming Xin. "When we separated, Princess Ming Xin was still a baby. I wonder what she looks like now?"

Dong Yu, who was standing by, suddenly recalled the gossip she had heard in the teahouse a few days ago, "I heard from others that the emperor favors Minister Yan very much, and even the name of Princess Mingxin was given by Minister Yan."

As if remembering something, Yan Muxi's eyes flashed with joy, "Mingxin's name was given by Yan Yongchen, is that true?"

Dong Yu shook her head. "I don't know if it's true or not, but what they said is very convincing. They also said that Empress Xue, the Crown Prince and others all looked very pale at that time. They couldn't believe that the princess' name was given by a minister."

It is a great honor for a princess to be given a name by the emperor, but if the name is just given casually by a minister, the honor becomes a humiliation.

If this is true, Yan Muxi thinks it is a good thing. Yan Yongchen is a member of the Ming family of the Wu Yue clan. He named Yan Muqing's daughter Ming Xin, which proves that he regards the little princess as half a member of the Ming family.

Today, Old Lady Yan is lying on her sickbed. The person in charge is Yan Yongchen. If Yan Yongchen is willing to protect Mingxin, Mingxin's life will be more secure.

Seeing her inexplicably happy, Yan Muyun asked in confusion: "Is there something strange about the princess's name?"

"There is indeed something strange, very strange." Yan Muxi frowned and thought about it. He felt that there was no need to hide the affairs of the Wu Yue clan from Yan Muyun, so he told Yan Muyun the news he had learned from Minghui and Yuechan in detail.

After Yan Muyun heard this, she was silent for a long time. The first thing she said was, "I suddenly feel that no one in the Yu family is innocent."

As a modern soul, Yan Muyun does not believe in the idea that a son should pay for his father's debts, but she still thinks that Emperor Yuanjing is too hateful and that everyone related to him does not deserve honor.

Yan Muxi smiled bitterly and sighed, "What about elder sister and Mingxin? Does third sister also want them to be buried with the executioner?"

The first moment she learned the whole story, Yan Muxi felt that those related to Emperor Yuanjing were not innocent. But when she thought of Mingxin grinning at her with her toothless little mouth, how could she keep her heart hard?

Yan Mujun fell silent again, followed by several long sighs.

"Then Second Sister, do you think that Big Sister and the Crown Prince can succeed?"
