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

The answer was confirmed, Yan Muyun took a few steps back dejectedly and sat down on the armchair.

Yan Muxi suppressed the panic in his heart and asked anxiously, "Is the prince still alive?" No matter how calm he pretended to be, he couldn't hide the trembling in his voice.

Dong Yu nodded hurriedly, "Alive, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is alive and well! The Crown Prince is alive and well, the eldest lady and the little princess are also safe and sound, the young lady and the third lady don't have to worry too much."

Half an hour later, Shunzi also came back. The information he got was more comprehensive than Dongyu's.

The Crown Prince was defeated last night, and Emperor Yuanjing was about to execute him on the spot, but was stopped by Yu Jinzhou, who is now Prince Shou.

Prince Shou knelt in the pouring rain for an hour before he begged Emperor Yuanjing to change his mind and temporarily spare Yu Jintang's life, imprisoning him in Changle Palace to await his fate.

The ministers who participated in forcing the emperor to abdicate were punished on the spot. The Xue and Su families were sentenced to death along with their entire clans, while other relevant ministers were either dismissed from office or demoted.

Yan Muyun patted her chest and kept breathing in and out, "Fortunately, the prince is still alive, so my elder sister didn't have to go with him."

Yan Muxi felt heartbroken. The destruction of the three clans of the Su family and the Xue family would be a fate worse than death for the Crown Prince and Yan Muqing.

The Xue family is fine, they are the prince's in-laws and the mastermind behind this coup d'élégation. It is understandable that all three clans were executed.

The Su family is a century-old noble family, admired by thousands of scholars and students. Emperor Yuanjing sentenced the Su family to a heavy sentence. It seems that he has given up on the reputation of the emperor and just wants to die.

The flashes of swords and the bloody rivers before his eyes were just the beginning. Emperor Yuanjing seemed to have retained the throne and won! In fact, he had completely lost the support of the people and was gradually walking into the big net woven by Yan Yongchen, and was not far from defeat.

At this time, Changle Palace was surrounded by the imperial guards, and all masters and servants were not allowed to enter or leave.

The Imperial Guards were the army that came to rescue the emperor last night. They were the private army that Emperor Yuan Jing secretly kept in Lincheng. Apart from the Tianji Pavilion, only Yu Jinzhou knew about the existence of the Imperial Guards.

The palace maids and eunuchs were escorted out by the imperial guards early in the morning. Now there are only a few servants left in Changle Palace who are willing to share life and death with their masters. The prosperous palace became lifeless overnight.

After Yu Jintang was escorted back, he was lifeless, like a walking corpse, and ignored anyone who called him.

When Xue Wanhe learned that the three members of the Xue family were executed, he was no longer as calm and composed as before and collapsed.

Although Yan Muqing had prepared himself mentally, when the day of defeat came, he still couldn't accept it calmly. He held on with all his might and didn't collapse.

Among all the masters in the Eastern Palace, Gu Yuelan, who stayed out of the matter, was the most sober and calm one. She ran to Yu Jintang's bed, pointed at Yu Jintang's nose and started scolding him.

"You've already done it. Who are you showing off to with this dead look on your face? If you want to die, die quickly. If you want to live, get up and continue living. You're paralyzed by half-death and making others worried. No matter how much you try to deceive yourself, you can't deceive yourself from the fact that you're a coward..."

"Concubine Gu, let His Highness digest it."

Gu Yuelan interrupted Yan Muqing's words of defense for Yu Jintang, "And you, is it the time to spoil him now? The Xue family and the Su family are powerless to save the situation, but our Changle Palace is not yet at the end of the road. If we accept our fate and wait for death now, what about Mingxin? She is only three years old, is she going to die with us? He, Yu Jintang, is not only the prince, but also Mingxin's father. Even if he doesn't want to live, he should fight for Mingxin's chance to live."

Thinking of her young daughter, Yan Muqing felt so heartbroken that she almost suffocated. In her previous life, she failed to protect her daughter's safe birth. Now, in this new life, could she not even protect her daughter's life?

"Mother~" Ming Xin ignored the obstruction of the wet nurse behind her, broke free from the restraints and ran into the palace, "Mother~Father~Xin'er misses you~"

Yan Muqing forced a smile with difficulty, "Didn't mother ask Xin'er to stay in the room? Why is Xin'er not behaving well again?"

Ming Xin puffed up her cheeks, "But, Xin'er doesn't want Nanny to accompany her. Xin'er misses Father and Mother so much."

Lifting her eyes and seeing Yu Jintang lying on the couch, Ming Xin's eyebrows knitted instantly, "Why is father lying still? Is father sick?"

Yu Jinzhou slowly turned his eyes, and when he saw his daughter's tender little face, tears silently slid down from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing her loving father shedding tears, as if he was crying, Ming Xin pouted her lips, tears welled up in her big eyes. She ran to the bed in two steps and stretched out her chubby little hands to wipe Yu Jintang's tears.

"Father, is there any pain somewhere? Xin'er, help father blow on it, and it will stop hurting!"

Yu Jintang's chest rose and fell violently several times. He could no longer control his suppressed emotions and burst into tears with his face up.

He was named the crown prince since birth, loved by his biological mother, valued by his father, and protected by his powerful maternal family. He lived a noble and free life.

Due to the smooth life from childhood to adulthood, he developed a straightforward personality with clear likes and dislikes and believed that the world is beautiful.

To put it nicely, it sounds kind, but in fact it is stupid. In his more than 20 years as a crown prince, he has never doubted that his father valued him.

Even though his father pushed his brothers and emperors one after another to compete with him, he never doubted his father's intentions. He just thought that it was the emperor's balancing act and that his father valued him the most.

It was not until Yu Jinzhou rode up to him and glanced at him with contempt that the faith in his heart collapsed.

It turns out that he was never the son that his father valued. He was just a living target used to block swords for the three emperors. His self-righteous pride was a joke from beginning to end.

What's funny is that the day before he chose to force the emperor to abdicate, he even thought about kneeling before his father and sincerely admitting his mistakes, in an attempt to ask his father to change his mind... He was so stupid!

His uselessness and stupidity caused the Xue and Su families to be exterminated. Even my grandfather and Grand Tutor Su, who were both very successful and glorious people, died prematurely because of him.

If he had listened to the advice earlier and made more preparations, perhaps... Unfortunately, his hands and feet had been cut off and he had no chance to start over.

Seeing her father crying heartbreakingly, Ming Xin was also frightened and burst into tears. Yan Muqing hurriedly hugged her daughter and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Xin'er. Your father is just in pain. He will stop crying when he has cried enough... Don't be afraid..."

Gu Yuelan sighed and took Mingxin from Yan Muqing's arms, "Leave Xin'er to me to take care of her. You two should take care of yourselves first, so as not to scare the child." After that, she carried Mingxin out of the inner hall.

There were only two people left in the hall. Yan Muqing went forward and hugged Yu Jintang. She didn't cry or say anything, but just accompanied him quietly.

Yu Jintang felt guilty, and so did Yan Muqing. After years of struggle, she hadn't changed much. Instead, her life was a few years shorter than in her previous life.

She really wanted to close her eyes and die without any care, so that she would no longer have to endure the physical and mental torture. But if she closed her eyes and left, what would happen to Mingxin? What would happen to her Xiner?

In the main courtyard of the Yan Mansion, when Su learned that the crown prince had fallen and the Su family was sentenced to be executed, she spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.

When she woke up in the afternoon, Su ran to the front yard to look for Yan Yongchen, despite the obstruction of the maids and old women.
