The two quickly arrived at the Imperial Court Hall. As soon as they arrived, they heard a minister shout from inside.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived."

The others stopped crying and looked towards the entrance of the main hall. When they saw that Emperor Xuan Yue had indeed appeared at the entrance of the main hall...

They were like madmen, one after another kneeling down.

"Your Majesty, you have finally arrived. You must do justice for this humble subject!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, who exactly are these distinguished guests? In my humble opinion, they should be thrown out!"

"What are you rushing me for? She's been encouraging my wife to divorce me, and I'm going to settle accounts with her!"

"Yes, she also swindled my son out of his money yesterday, and I must collect the debt!"

“This unfilial son gave her the jade pendant that I bought at great expense, and I demand that she return it.”

"Lord Zhu, we absolutely cannot let her leave like this!!"

"..."

Everyone chimed in, spitting at Emperor Xuan Yue.

Meanwhile, the culprit was sound asleep in the mansion arranged by Emperor Xuan Yue, completely unaware of his crimes.

'Braised pork knuckle, stewed pork knuckle, fried pork knuckle, roasted pork knuckle...'

'I want to eat, I want this too, I want that too.'

'Come, come, come...'

In his dream, the guy was so happy and excited that his lips were so wet with sweat that his pillow was soaked with joy.

When Hua Xin entered, she heard Xiao Wanwan's mischievous, dreamy laughter.

She put down the basket and shook her head helplessly.

"Painting a heart..."

"Shh, Miss is still sleeping. Let's wake her up later."

After hearing this from the outer room, Hua Mei slowed her pace.

"Madam said we need to hurry back to the Dragon Clan, so we should pack up and head back."

"good."

Ye Jianxing and the others were extremely anxious.

During the journey, Ye Jianyi returned to the Dragon Clan and then came back.

The two talked inside the house with the door closed.

“Brother, I have already gone to see him. Father’s condition is getting worse. Mother has transferred a lot of spiritual energy into Father, but it can only barely stabilize him.”

"Did the Yan family find out when you went back this time?" Ye Jianxing took a sip of tea.

"No, only my mother knows that I'm going back this time. Even my mother doesn't know."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Ye Jianxing stood up and patted Ye Jianyi on the shoulder. "Whether Father can wake up or not depends on this."

"Brother, don't worry, Father will definitely wake up, and the position of the Dragon Clan will belong to you one day."

"I will do my best to help you."

Ye Jianxing sighed and said, "With my current abilities, taking on the role of a dragon is still somewhat troublesome."

It's an open secret how much the Yan family covets the Dragon Clan's position.

He suspected that the Yan family was behind his father's current state, but the Yan family insisted that they would never stoop to such a thing.

After thinking about it, he finally voiced his doubts.

“Last time I saw Yan Jiaming, I asked him if he had seen the King, but Yan Jiaming said no.”

"Second brother, do you think they might have used some underhanded methods to lure Father into the Dragon Tomb?"

Ye Jianyi squeezed the cup, placed it on the tea table, turned around, and stood up.

"Brother, you know what kind of people the Yan family are. They say they've never met Father, and you believe them?"

"Don't forget, the people in the entire dragon clan who most want to sit on the dragon throne are the Yan family."

"Back then, my great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather turned against each other, and it was they who secretly caused this. But they didn't expect that our Ye family would not be torn apart because of this. On the contrary, our position on the throne has become more and more secure." Ye Jianyi's eyes were filled with anger, and his fists were clenched.

Ye Jianxing took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

You're right.

"Let's go see when Madam Ye can set off."

"good."

Ye Lanyin was in the room having breakfast with the Regent.

The Regent placed a piece of meat on Ye Lanyin's plate, saying, "My wife, eat more. You've lost weight these past few days."

The Regent felt very sorry for Ye Lanyin and moved all the best food in front of him to her.

Xiao Wanwan sat to one side, watching her father ruthlessly move away her favorite braised pork, his hand still hanging in mid-air.

【ah--】

Xiao Wanwan's inner thoughts terrified Ye Lanyin and the others.

They all covered their ears simultaneously, afraid that her loud noise would deafen them.

Xiao Wanwan's eyes were fixed on the braised man who had been moved away, and she didn't see the expressions on the faces of the others at all.

"Daddy, I want to eat meat too..."

"Wanwan, where did you get that pork knuckle last night?"

[Daddy found out?]

How did he know that he had tricked Zhouzi from the outside?

"Brother Yao gave it to me." The little guy's words were as sweet as honey as he rubbed Yao Qianshu, who was munching on meat next to him.

Yao Qianshu, his mouth greasy from eating, saw Xiao Wanwan touch him and asked, "Little sister, what's wrong?"

"Brother Yao, my father asked you why you stole someone else's pork knuckle for me to eat last night?"

Yao Qianshu?

"Wh...what?" he asked indistinctly.

"You unfilial son!" Upon hearing this, General Yao didn't even give Yao Qianshu a chance to catch his breath, and slapped Yao Qianshu's forehead with his big hand.

"You actually went to rob someone in the middle of the night?"

Yao Qianshu's mouth was stuffed with pork knuckle, but his words were mumbled and unclear.

"Father, Father, I... (didn't)... ah."

"Good lad, he actually admitted it!!"

General Yao was furious.

Last night, he thought his son had become sensible, and in the middle of the night, he kept kowtowing and thanking his ancestors in the direction of the Holy Kingdom.
