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

Grand Tutor Xue was about to speak to test the waters a little more, when suddenly two masked men in grey clothes landed silently beside Emperor Yuanjing. By the time everyone reacted, the three men were no longer in the hall.

Yu Jintang subconsciously looked at Grand Tutor Xue, "What should we do now?"

Grand Tutor Xue hesitated for a moment, his expression changed drastically, "Not good, search the palace immediately." He leaned close to the prince's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "We must eliminate the trouble before anything unexpected happens."

Yu Jintang's expression also changed drastically, and he subconsciously retorted, "Absolutely not." Seeking power and usurping the throne is already the limit of what he can do, and he would never commit patricide.

Grand Tutor Xue's eyes flashed with sternness, "Now that things have come to this, Your Highness, do you think there is still room for reversal?"

Seeing that Yu Jintang was still full of rejection, Grand Tutor Xue did not say anything more. Man proposes, God disposes. Even if they wanted to kill the king, they might not be able to do it.

Emperor Yuanjing had no one to rely on, and he was able to sit on the throne by relying on his own strategy and ruthless means. He was not a good person, nor a simple one.

If they fail to get rid of the person in time and wait for him to have the chance to turn the tables, it will be difficult for them to accomplish anything later. Now they can only give it a try in order to have a chance of success.

With a loud bang, heavy rain poured down.

The Imperial Guards searched the palaces in the rain. The ministers were waiting in the Qianqing Hall, all of them were anxious. If Emperor Yuanjing came to rescue, no one present would be in good shape.

Outside the Meridian Gate, tens of thousands of scholars and students were waiting in the rain, and no one left.

At the beginning of the Chen hour, a large number of imperial guards entered from the South and North city gates. The two sides fought as they marched, and people kept shouting, "The crown prince is forcing the emperor to abdicate and treason, the imperial guards are heading to the palace to rescue him, and anyone who blocks the way will be punished with the same crime as the traitor!"

The soldiers shouted all the way from the city gate to the palace gate, and the common people clinging to the tops of the walls or hiding in the corners could all hear them.

Dong Yu didn't bother to take off his raincoat and ran into the house quickly. "A fight has broken out. There is chaos outside. Luodu City is in complete turmoil."

Yan Muxi stuffed the cut fruit flesh into Qingge'er's mouth, "The struggle for power has always been cruel. Dongyu, don't go out to watch. It won't change anything. We can just close the door and wait for peace outside. No matter whether the prince or the emperor wins in the end, it will still be the world of the Yu family, and ordinary people will not be embarrassed."

"But," Yan Muyun wanted to say, how could they not care about the safety of their elder sister and her daughter? But if they thought about it carefully, what Yan Muxi said was the truth. They could not change anything except worrying about it. It was useless to say some irrelevant worrying words.

"Oh~" Dong Yu responded angrily, "What are we having for lunch?"

She was so busy worrying about the situation outside that she didn't eat well for breakfast and was feeling a little hungry now.

Yan Muxi's calmness was all on the surface. He had no intention of thinking about food. He was just about to ask the cook to make some food, but when he saw Qing'er's bright eyes, he asked in a gentle voice, "What would you like to eat, Qing?"

Qing Ge'er raised his little hand, "Meat, Qing Ge'er wants to eat more meat."

Yan Mujun said angrily, "One bite of meat and one bite of vegetable, otherwise you are not allowed to eat meat." She turned around and instructed Dongyu, "Ask the cook to make a few dishes with a combination of meat and vegetables. The taste should be a little lighter."

The courtyard where they lived was close to the imperial palace, and the smell of blood was everywhere. Except for the heartless Qing Ge'er, I'm afraid no one could eat meat.

At this moment, in the main hall of Changle Palace, Yan Muqing and her daughter, Gu Yuelan and Xue Wanhe were all waiting for news.

Maybe it was because they had never given birth, the two years had left no trace on Gu Yuelan and Xue Wanhe's faces, especially Gu Yuelan, whose temper was still not stable, and she could have a lot of fun playing with Mingxin who was over three years old.

Looking at the two figures, one tall and one short, fighting in the palace, Xue Wanhe couldn't help but sigh, "Luckily, Concubine Gu is here, otherwise my heart would be stuck in my throat and I would have difficulty breathing in and out."

Yan Muqing was surprised that she would express her nervousness openly. "I'm used to seeing the Crown Princess's calm demeanor. I thought she wasn't born to be as anxious and nervous as ordinary people!"

"Everyone has seven emotions and six desires. I just see them more clearly than others. How can I not be afraid and nervous when faced with a life-and-death crisis?" Xue Wanhe lowered her eyes and a wry smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

"Has the Crown Princess ever resented me?" Yan Muqing was very curious. As the Crown Prince's wife, Xue Wanhe had never received the Crown Prince's love, and the current incident was caused by her. Did Xue Wanhe resent her?

"Never." Xue Wanhe said in a calm voice.

"That's good." Yan Muqing smiled at him. She believed what Xue Wanhe said because the other party never bothered to lie.

Xue Wanhe did not lie. It was not Yan Muqing's fault that the prince was not attracted to her. In the current disaster, it was never Yan Muqing who held the dominant position.

The emperor's preferred heir to the throne is not the prince. If the prince's party wants to survive, they must find an opportunity to resist. Changle Palace, the Xue family and the Su family will have to face this day sooner or later and there is no escape.

The rain fell intermittently for a whole day, and the sounds of fighting in Luodu City also echoed throughout the day. Towards evening, as the rain gradually subsided, Luodu City finally returned to peace.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, Yu Jintang let out a long sigh when he saw that it was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard who led the troops into the palace. The ministers' hearts also settled down.

The deputy commander knelt down in front of Yu Jintang and said, "I have fulfilled your mission, Your Highness, and have subdued all the rebels."

Yu Jintang forced himself to support his numb body and took a step forward to help Commander Wu up. "Thank you for your hard work, Commander Wu!"

Commander Wu stood up and said respectfully, "Everything is what I should do."

Grand Tutor Xue's frown did not relax. He asked Commander Wu, "How many soldiers did Lord Wu bring into the palace?"

"Among the 50,000 soldiers, about 30,000 are safe right now." Commander Wu said truthfully.

"The emperor has been held hostage by criminals. Sir Wu, please immediately dispatch 5,000 men to assist the Imperial Guards in searching for the emperor." Instead of feeling relieved, Grand Tutor Xue became even more frightened.

Based on his understanding of Emperor Yuanjing, it was impossible for the other party to just hide, and it was even more impossible for him to be defeated so easily. He must have a backup plan that he hadn't revealed yet. Only by finding the person as soon as possible could the matter be truly settled.

Commander Wu looked at the Crown Prince, who sighed inwardly. He also felt that the matter was not over yet, and felt inexplicably uneasy. "Commander Wu, just do as the Grand Tutor said! Find the whereabouts of our father as soon as possible."

The imperial palace was so small that thousands of soldiers searched from dusk till midnight but still could not find any trace of Emperor Yuanjing.

The scholars and students outside the Meridian Gate had been caught in the rain for a whole day. When they learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had won, they gradually dispersed. Only a few hundred people, led by Tutor Su, were left waiting there.

Worried that his grandfather's body could not hold on, Su Huachang advised, "Now that the dust has settled, grandpa should go back too!"

Old Master Su looked at the still gloomy sky and said slowly, "The dust has settled! I'm afraid it's still too early!"
