The tip of the executioner's knife was almost touching Qin Ye's neck. When they saw the imperial token in her hand, everyone, including the executioner, knelt on the ground.

Having successfully prevented what was about to happen, Song Qianning breathed a sigh of relief. She finally managed to stand steady, her calves trembling.

Hearing Song Qianning's voice, Qin Ye looked up and saw the figure not far away.

"The Emperor has ordered..."

With the imperial token in hand, everyone dared not disbelieve Song Qianning's words and quickly let Qin Ye go.

The people, led by the executioner, apologized to Qin Ye tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please don't blame us..."

Ignoring the executioner and the others, Qin Ye strode towards Song Qianning: "A Ning, why are you here?"

After finally rescuing the person, Song Qianning felt relieved: "Of course I came to save you."

"Luckily I arrived in time. If I had been a few seconds later, you might have already..."

Thinking of what she saw when she arrived, Song Qianning still couldn't help feeling a lingering fear and uncontrollable fear.

Fortunately, Qin Ye is fine, otherwise...

Looking up at Qin Ye, Song Qianning opened her mouth and was about to complain to him, but she was hugged and successfully stopped from saying anything.

Qin Ye hugged her so tightly that Song Qianning felt uncomfortable and twisted her body: "Qin Ye, let me go."

What he got was Qin Ye's tighter embrace.

It wasn't until Song Qianning was almost out of breath from being hugged that a slightly hoarse voice came from above her head: "A Ning, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?" Song Qianning felt a little embarrassed for once, and said softly, "I'm not just helping you."

After holding her for a long time, Qin Ye finally let go of the person in his arms.

Noticing the burning heat in his eyes, Song Qianning looked away: "Hurry back to the palace, His Majesty is still waiting to see you in the palace."

"Um."

In order to prevent the emperor from waiting anxiously, Qin Ye did not delay any longer and took Song Qianning back to the palace together.

After entering the palace, all the eunuchs and palace maids were sent out by the emperor, leaving only him and Qin Ye.

Knowing that the king and his minister were having a secret conversation inside, Song Qianning, who was waiting outside, felt a little bored. She kept looking up inside and estimating the time in her mind.

This secret conversation lasted for nearly half an hour before the door was opened from the inside.

Seeing Qin Ye's figure, Song Qianning immediately stood up: "Qin Ye, how was your talk with His Majesty?"

"We've finished talking." Qin Ye held the imperial edict of pardon from the emperor in his hand and gently stroked her hair: "A Ning, let's go home."

As soon as the emperor woke up, he sent people out of the palace to withdraw the guards surrounding the Regent's Palace.

Since there had been no news about Qin Ye from the palace, the servants in the palace were waiting anxiously after the lockdown was lifted, and they were all very worried.

"Why haven't the prince and princess returned yet?"

When Qin Ye reappeared in the mansion, the servants were more excited than each other and saluted in unison: "Prince and Princess."

Seeing Qin Ye and the imperial edict of pardon from the emperor that he brought with him, the servants were overjoyed.

Worried about the two cubs, Song Qianning didn't stay long and ran into the yard anxiously.

As soon as she entered the yard, two small figures rushed out and threw themselves into her arms.

"Mother." The voices of the brother and sister came at the same time.

Xiao Ya hugged Song Qianning tightly, her eyes full of tears, and she cried loudly.

Da Wang, who is usually mature, now has red eyes and tears are streaming down his face.

The two cubs were not stupid. Just from the panicked expressions of the servants, they could understand how big a thing had happened in the palace.

In addition, Song Qianning and Xiaoya were not at home, so Dawang and Xiaoya were already extremely anxious. If there were no servants watching them, they would have gone out to look for Song Qianning long ago.

Knowing that he couldn't help, Da Wang and his sister could only wait in the yard for Song Qianning to come back.

As soon as he saw Song Qianning, he naturally couldn't help himself.

Looking at the two cubs in her arms, Song Qianning subconsciously softened her voice and said softly, "It's okay. Your father and I are fine..."

The other side.

The old princess slowly woke up from her coma, and her memories of before she fainted came back to her, and she woke up instantly.

The maidservant saw the old princess lifting the quilt and trying to get out of bed, and hurriedly supported her: "Old princess, what are you doing?"

Grabbing the maid's wrist, the old princess said with a pale face: "How is my son? How is our palace? No, I want to see it myself."

The maid quickly said, "Don't worry, the prince has returned, and everything is fine in the palace."

Worried that the old princess would overthink things, the maid quickly told her what had happened.

Only after the maid confirmed several times that both the palace and Qin Ye were fine did the old princess feel relieved.

The next second, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Who did you say saved the palace?"

"It was the princess." When the maid mentioned Song Qianning, her tone could not hide her gratitude: "It was the princess who saved the emperor with the elixir, otherwise the whole palace would have suffered."

Song Qianning's action can be said to have saved the lives of all the servants in the mansion, and the servants were more or less grateful to him.

Upon learning that it was Song Qianning who saved the entire palace, the old princess slowly sat back on the bed.

The old princess is not stupid. Today's incident is clearly aimed at the palace.

Conspiring to murder the emperor is a capital crime. If Song Qianning had not rescued the emperor, the entire royal family would definitely not have escaped the fate of being executed.

In addition to her complicated mood, the old princess's dislike for her disappeared for no reason.

It was Song Qianning who saved the palace.

…

Ever since she knew that it was Song Qianning who saved the palace, the old princess began to change her opinion of her and no longer made things difficult for her as before.

After waking up, the old princess hesitated for a long time and came to their yard in person.

Just what Song Qianning did was enough to make her put aside her pride and take the initiative to repair her relationship with them.

When the old princess left, Da Wang and Xiao Ya, a brother and sister, happened to be in the yard.

Looking at the two children, the old princess curled her lips and revealed a slightly stiff smile: "Da Wang, Xiao Ya."

Seeing the old princess, Da Wang protected his sister behind him and looked at the old princess without saying a word.

Not missing the brother and sister's vigilance, the old princess gestured to the maid to hand over the food box and tried to appear kind: "This is the cake I specially asked the cook to make. Would you like to try it?"

Without thinking, Da Wang shook his head and refused: "My sister and I don't like to eat cakes, please go back."

Since Da Wang and Xiao Ya didn't buy it, the old princess sighed and left the yard with the maid.

It was all her own fault, she couldn't blame anyone else.

After marrying Qin Ye, Song Qianning became the Regent Princess, and the noble ladies in the capital did not dare to neglect her.

The doorman of the Regent's Palace received new visiting cards almost every day.

Even if she only had to see part of it, Song Qianning was exhausted and almost regretted marrying Qin Ye.

Qin Ye was amused by her appearance and curled his lips: "Why don't you try to open a restaurant in the capital? Then you will have an excuse to refuse people who come to visit you in the future."
