"We have also remembered the Eighth Prince's kindness."

"Thank you, Eighth Prince, for rescuing me."

The scholars bowed and expressed their opinions.

The daughters of each family hesitated for a moment, and had to step forward to thank the Eighth Prince and express their attitude.

The concubines had always looked down on the Eighth Prince, but they did not dare to provoke him. The current situation did not allow them to turn a deaf ear and dumb, so they had no choice but to follow the instructions of the Concubine Zhan, express their gratitude, and then hurriedly leave.

Nan Xiang is still a little confused. Are the Eighth Prince's men so powerful?

It’s a total kill!

Looking at the Jinyiwei on the ground, today's assassination seemed very strange.

"Senior sister, we are going to leave the palace. Would you like to come with us?" the old scholar asked tentatively.

"good."

Things have achieved the desired result, so there is no need for Ye Qianning to stay any longer.

"Sister, are you leaving the palace?"

Ye Qianning tightened her grip, lowered her head to meet Sang Lanyu's watery eyes, and her heart softened a little: "I'll come to see you in two days."

"real?"

"real."

Sang Lanyu received the affirmation, but she was still reluctant to leave: "Nian Ning is waiting for her sister."

"good."

Ye Qianning brought her to Concubine Zhan.

Concubine Zhan took Sang Lanyu over and they looked into Ye Qianning's eyes. Without saying anything, he nodded slightly at her and left with Sang Lanyu.

Nan Xiang seemed to finally understand something and rolled her eyes. "Eighth Prince, when I return home today, I will definitely tell my father and have him prepare a generous gift and come in person to express my gratitude."

Sang Zhi seemed to let out a cold snort from his chest.

"You..." Nan Xiang suppressed her displeasure, glared at him, and quickly walked over to hold Ye Qianning's wrist, blocking Sang Zhi's sight: "A Ning, let's go."

Ye Qianning nodded and let her lead him out of the imperial garden.

Sang Zhi took a step and then retracted it, staring at the receding figure with complicated eyes. He did not leave until the other party left the Imperial Garden.

The daughters in the imperial garden were stunned for a moment when they saw that everyone had left. They looked at each other for a few seconds before they dared to move.

They all understood what happened today. The Eighth Prince took action, the Emperor, the Imperial Concubine, and even Princess Nanxiang had expressed their stance. None of them could shirk responsibility, and they left the Imperial Garden with worried looks on their faces, staggering with every step.

Sang Le stood there motionless, struggling internally. The person she sent to inquire about the queen's condition had not returned yet. It was already dark, and she was a princess who married out of the palace. She could not spend the night in the palace without permission.

"Sister-in-law."

Qi Ying called out.

Sang Le retracted his gaze upon hearing the sound and patted her hand: "Don't be afraid."

"Sister-in-law, it's time for us to leave the palace." Qi Ying said in a low voice.

Sang Le hesitated.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back first." Qi Ying's voice became heavier.

Sang Le turned her head to meet Qi Ying's gaze, and then she felt her arm tighten as the other party had already held her arm tightly.

"Sister-in-law, it's very late. My brother should be waiting outside the palace gate." Qi Ying said again.

Sang Le pondered for a few seconds before nodding.

Qi Ying's tense nerves relaxed when she saw her nod.

Many people had already gathered at the palace gate.

What happened in the Queen's Palace in the afternoon has more or less reached the ears of some noble families. The details are unclear, but it is known that the Queen was punished.

Some people who received the news were very anxious, fearing that their children would be implicated, and waited at the palace gate to pick them up.

Ye Qianning and Nan Xiang walked out of the palace gate, followed by a group of literati. Their mighty procession immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Under the dim light, the woman's face was reflected, hazy and unreal, which stunned everyone for a moment, and their eyes followed the movement of the figure.

"Miss." Luo Wen drove forward.

Ye Qianning turned around and looked at the scholars: "Thank you all for coming today."

The scholar was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't deserve it. Senior Sister is indeed different from what is rumored. We are just superficial."

The other scholars nodded in agreement.

Before they met this junior sister, they did have a great prejudice against her, and the derogatory words they said to the emperor in the imperial study were seven parts false and three parts true.

After all, this junior sister whom I have never met has a very bad reputation.

Just one glance at the Imperial Garden changed their minds.

"Sir, your condition is serious. The rumors are not groundless. Some of them are quite true." Ye Qianning said frankly.

"Haha, we all know what's true and what's false, so there's no need to be modest, Senior Sister."

"That's right, we all understand. You don't have to explain."

The scholar did not feel the slightest bit disgusted, but instead felt that the young elder in front of him was more frank.

Ye Qianning chuckled: "Where do you gentlemen live now?"

"We rushed into the palace as soon as we entered the city today, and we don't even know which inn they booked."

"Luo Xuan, take everyone to Qingtan Inn."

"yes."

Luo Xuan appears.

"No, there's no need to trouble Senior Sister with such a small matter."

"This is a small token of my appreciation. Gentlemen, please don't refuse."

Although the Imperial Garden was just a show, she felt guilty.

The scholar thought for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you, Senior Sister."

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

"Thank you, Master."

“…”

The scholar bowed and left.

Ye Qianning turned around and got on the carriage, and Nan Xiang followed closely behind.

Luo Wen turned the car around and rode away.

It was not until the carriage had left for a long time that the stunned people reacted with surprise in their eyes. Those scholars just called the beautiful woman "Senior Sister" and "Master Aunt"?

Except for Master Chen's direct disciple, no one else has such a high seniority.

Who else could be Mr. Chen’s direct disciple?

Everyone guessed the identity of the woman in an instant, the daughter of Marquis Xiang Ming, the child who came back from the dead!

No wonder I kept hearing rumors recently that a stunningly beautiful woman had come to the capital. It turned out to be her.

While he was thinking, there was a noise at the palace gate, and a group of noble ladies walked out of the palace.

The people waiting at the palace gate rushed forward to welcome the people from their own homes.

Many young ladies felt as if they were collapsing when supported by their maids. They had to rely on the maids to walk, and they were scared to death at the flower-viewing banquet.

When each family received the person, they could tell something was wrong at a glance and hurriedly sent him back home in a carriage.

In a blink of an eye, the palace gate returned to silence again, with only a few people from the Qi and Guan families still waiting.

Guan Lin saw that all the young ladies had left, and his younger sister had not come out for a long time. He couldn't help but feel anxious and stretched his neck to look at the palace gate.

Seeing two figures from afar, she was delighted, but her joy faded in the blink of an eye. The more she looked at the two figures, the less they looked like her younger sister.

Sang Le took Qi Ying out of the palace gate, and they immediately saw Qi Sheng standing across the road waiting for them.

Qi Sheng also saw the two of them and stepped forward to meet them.

"Greetings to the Fourth Princess." Guan Lin stepped forward and saluted.

Sang Le then noticed the person next to him: "Who are you?"

"Sister-in-law, he is the eldest son of the Guan family and Guan Mengyan's brother." Qi Ying reminded in a low voice.

Sang Le suddenly understood, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he said, "Master Guan, your sister will not leave the palace today."

Guan Lin was shocked: "Why?"

"Miss Guan made a mistake in the palace today."

"Fourth Princess, I wonder what mistake my sister has made?"
