After listening to the advice of the others...

Ye Qingcheng frowned, her urge to rush into the palace gates subsiding.

Qin Mohan, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and said, "Qing'er, why don't we go back first and discuss it?"

“Yes! Seventh sister-in-law, Father Emperor has finally let you go. If you go back in and anger Father Emperor again, even Grandmother might not be able to save you.”

“That’s right, Seventh Sister-in-law, I think we should discuss Yu’er’s matter more carefully.”

And you don't need to worry. In my opinion, Father won't do anything to Yu'er. After all, he is Father's eldest grandson, and Father dotes on him very much."

"Yes! Sixth Brother is right."

"Qingcheng, the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince are right. Just listen to us! Let's go back first. Besides, you don't need to worry too much. Although the Emperor is dissatisfied with you, the young prince is, after all, his grandson, a member of the royal family. No matter what, he wouldn't implicate his own grandson!"

"That's right."

After listening to the advice of several people.

Ye Qingcheng closed her eyes, then could only sigh helplessly and nod.

However, she still turned to look at Qin Mohan.

"Qin Mohan, did Yu'er stay here voluntarily?"

Qin Mohan pursed his lips and shook his head: "You could say I was forced to stay here!"

"Force them to stay?"

"Um!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng gave a cold smile: "It seems that without my grandmother, I have no choice but to submit to the law."

Qin Mohan sighed: "Let's go! Let's go back to the manor first, arrange things here, and then see if we can ask the Empress Dowager to put in a good word for us and return Yu'er to us."

Ye Qingcheng nodded.

Then.

The two then boarded the carriage.

"Seventh Brother, you should go back to your residence first. We'll come to find you there later," the Fourth Prince said, looking at Qin Mohan.

Qin Mohan nodded: "Alright, then I'll take my leave now."

"Um!"

Qin Mohan finished speaking.

The carriage then drove away from the palace gate.

The Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and Princess Wenning watched their carriage disappear into the distance.

All three of them sighed.

This way.

Inside the Imperial Study.

After returning to his study, the Emperor still looked displeased, though not as angry as he had been initially.

Seeing that his expression had softened, Eunuch Yin noticed that his expression had eased somewhat.

He spoke cautiously.

"Your Majesty, are you really willing to part with the Seventh Prince?"

Upon hearing this...

The Emperor turned and glared at Eunuch Yin.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Yin trembled, thinking that the Emperor was about to become angry.

But the emperor did not. He glared at him for a while before saying angrily, "Hmph, for the sake of a woman, he dared to lay a hand on me. I don't need such a rebellious son."

"Your Majesty, but the Seventh Prince is someone you have devoted your heart and soul to, nurturing him all the way to where he is today."

"You old fool, do you think I have no one else to rely on without him?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yin immediately knelt down: "This servant wouldn't dare, this servant didn't mean that."

"Hmph, alright, get up!"

"yes."

"What do you think of that Princess Han? Should I keep her?"

"This...this servant dares not speak presumptuously."

"You old fool, I told you to speak, so speak."

"Your Majesty, this servant believes that Princess Han is indeed a remarkable woman. She and the Seventh Prince are a perfect match. Although her identity is questionable, her talent and courage are unmatched by ordinary women."

"You old fool, is that what I asked? Hmm?"

"Ah? This servant is foolish and does not understand Your Majesty's meaning."

"I'm asking whether she can be trusted?"

"believe?"

"You... that's enough."

The Emperor glared at Eunuch Yin and sighed.

Then, he called out.

"Maple Forest".

As the emperor finished speaking, the figure of a secret guard appeared.

"emperor."

"Hmm! How did you feel about your fight with Princess Han today?"

"Your Majesty, they are very strong."

"Very strong?"

"Yes, I feel that she is a top-notch expert, even surpassing the Seventh Prince."

"top notch?"

"Um!"

"Just who is this girl? She is incredibly talented, with superb medical skills and even strong martial arts skills. I really don't know whether I should keep her."

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, when the Princess Consort Han attacked us today, she did not kill us. On the contrary, she showed mercy in every way."

Therefore, I believe that Princess Han is not a spy sent by the enemy. Moreover, according to my investigation, she has indeed done a lot for the people over the years.

"Huh? You're speaking up for her?"

"This... I dare not."

"Well, I've been watching that closely, but that girl's murderous aura is something I have to be wary of!"

“Your Majesty, if the Princess Consort of Han cannot be kept, then I think Prime Minister Ye should also be considered.”

When you asked me to investigate Princess Han, I discovered that the Prime Minister of Ye Kingdom seemed to have secret correspondence with Rong Kingdom, Fusang Kingdom, and Tujue Kingdom.

"But he did it so discreetly that it will take me some time to find out the truth."

"Hmm? Rong Guo is also connected to him?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"It seems that Rong Bilie's decision to send his precious princess to marry into our country was also the work of that Prime Minister Ye!"

"Your Majesty, you need your subordinates..."

"No need, I'll keep him; he's still useful."
