"Evidence?" The commander's voice was deep yet firm, filled with boundless authority. At the same time, his gaze was piercing as he stared intently at Mo Yanran, as if trying to see through her heart.

"If we didn't have solid evidence, how dare we come here to disturb you? This afternoon, His Highness sent people to the General's Mansion for a thorough investigation, and the result was, of course, irrefutable evidence."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yanran's arrogant and domineering demeanor instantly vanished. Her body trembled slightly, and she turned away, not daring to look at Chunhong again.

After a moment of silence, he could only sigh helplessly: "Since that's the case, then take her away." His tone was filled with disappointment and resentment.

The group acted swiftly, rushing over with agility and discipline, tying Chunhong up, gagging her, and then bowing as they left.

Just as the commander of the Imperial Guards was about to step out the gate, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Mo Yanran: "Your Highness, His Highness specifically asked me to convey a message to you: If you are unwilling to continue cooperating, you may state your position as soon as possible. If something like today happens again, he will not let you off lightly."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Mo Yanran with only a cold back view.

"Ah!" As the door slammed shut, Mo Yanran could no longer contain her grief and anger. She frantically grabbed the tea set on the table and smashed it to the ground, shards of porcelain scattering everywhere.

Tears streamed down Mo Yanran's face like a broken dam, her eyes filled with despair and sorrow. "Why? Why did you do this to me?"

Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with deep pain and resentment.

...

The next day, in the study of the Eastern Palace.

The Imperial Guard Commander presented Chunhong's confession to Li Yan. As he read through it, his pupils constricted and his eyes sharpened when he read that Mo Yanran had intended to disfigure Yun Qing. He truly hadn't expected Mo Yanran to be so vicious.

It seems this Crown Princess cannot be kept. His marriage to her was merely a transaction of interests, and now that she might harm his beloved, the initial cooperation must naturally be nullified.

Emperor Wen has been bedridden for several months, and the imperial physicians say it will only last for the next two months.

However, since the Mo family still holds military power on the frontier, he cannot directly execute Mo Yanran.

However, breaking her arm so that he can't do anything is still an option.

Li Yan tapped on the table and asked the commander of the Imperial Guards, "I heard that there's a little-known strategist in the army who's quite skilled at troop deployment. Go and investigate his background."

The commander of the Imperial Guards left as ordered. Afterwards, Li Yan summoned his secret guards and gave them some instructions.
