"Yes... the old lady just brought a lot of people into the princess's yard and asked the princess to go to the Eighth Prince to apologize... the princess didn't want to argue with the old lady for a few words... the old... the old lady had the princess tied up, saying that she would be taken to the Eighth Prince to apologize." Cui'er finished speaking in a trembling voice.

Xu Hongwen's head suddenly buzzed: "How is this possible?"

His mother usually obeys Shu'er in everything, how could she dare to let someone kidnap her?

"Sir, it's true. I dare not lie. Please go and save the princess."

Xu Hongwen pulled him hard and asked, "Where are they?"

"The old lady had the princess escorted out of the hospital and headed towards the back garden..."

When Xu Hongwen thought of the direction the Eighth Prince had just gone, his face turned pale. He left Cui'er and headed to the left.

On the backyard corridor, Xu Chang walked in front to lead the way, looking back from time to time to introduce the surrounding furnishings.

It took almost ten minutes to walk all the way from the front yard. The Nine-Turn Corridor seemed to have no end. Beyond the corridor was a garden rockery, and not far away there was a river. The river stretched as if it ran through the entire mansion.

"Where does this river lead to?" Ye Qianning asked.

Hearing this, Xu Chang glanced in the direction of the river and said, "The river that leads to East Street in the city."

East Street?

Ye Qianning was very familiar with the streets of the capital. A little further ahead on East Street was the back door to the General's Mansion. The river actually led directly to the Earl's Mansion.

Xuchang continued walking forward with a smile, not knowing what they meant.

In short, he felt that it was not simple. At least the Eighth Prince was definitely not here to visit the courtyard. However, he had never mentioned the assassination since he entered the mansion, and he did not dare to ask.

"The streets of the city are covered with scattered imperial edicts. Did you ask someone to do it?" Ye Qianning suddenly asked.

"kindness."

"Storytellers all over the city, how did you come up with this idea?" Ye Qianning was very surprised when she heard the news. Now that the imperial edict had been revealed from the city gate, what she had to do next was to make it known to everyone.

When he asked Luo Wen to look for it, the imperial edict had already been taken away by Yingge. Yingge and Du Yi were both following Sang Zhi, and she knew it was Sang Zhi who did it.

But no one expected that he would act so quickly, and he also found storytellers all over the city. The sound of reading could be faintly heard from outside the city gate.

Entering the city was an eye-opener. There were so many storytellers that it was impossible to count them. People in the capital didn't even have to leave the house to hear what was written in the imperial edict.

"It is said that the emperor's words are golden. He wrote it but doesn't want to admit it. Is such a person worthy of sitting here?" Sang Zhi said.

"People who go back on their words are indeed not worthy." Ye Qianning nodded.

As the two men asked and answered each other, Xu Chang walked with heavy steps and his heart was beating fast. What did he hear?

They discussed these things openly, they really didn't treat him as an outsider!

Does the Eighth Prince want to...rebel?

Oh my God, he should tell the emperor earlier, otherwise...tsk...

Xu Chang's forehead was covered with sweat, and he suddenly thought, since the Eighth Prince could say it so blatantly, did he not intend to let him live?

"Did you see the twelve people hanging at the city gate?" Ye Qianning asked again.

This question almost scared Xu Chang to death. His heart was beating fast, his back was straight and he dared not look back.

"They are just small fry. I'm not interested in watching them. The people behind them are important." Sang Zhiqing said.

"Those people are from the Earl's Mansion." Ye Qianning said, and then asked Xu Chang in front of him: "Does the Earl know?"
