Chapter 369: Death Order to Keep Silence

“There were quite a few people there.”

"You don't understand."

"Your Majesty, someone is coming from the palace."

As soon as Prince Helian finished speaking, the butler rushed in.

"Your Highness." Princess Helian stepped forward.

"The sealer is here."

Prince Helian knew it very well.

If the emperor wants to suppress something, no matter how big the statement is, it will not reach the people. Marquis Xiang Ming wants to resign, and it would not be good if the rumors spread among the people.

——

Changyang Palace.

After Princess Changyang brought Nanxiang back home, she immediately told her prince about what happened in the palace. Prince Changyang was a general and when he heard what the Sixth Princess said, he immediately slammed the table in anger.

"How dare a little girl, still wet behind the ears, show such contempt for a general of a country."

"Ah, I don't want to take Xiang'er to the palace again. It's really disheartening."

"Don't even mention that Marquis Xiang Ming wants to resign. Even I don't want to serve him after hearing this." If it weren't for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, who would be willing to live on the edge of a knife?

"Resigning from Marquis Xiangming is one thing, breaking off the engagement is another, but I don't think the Emperor wants to do either. Even the Crown Prince knelt and begged to cancel the engagement, but the Emperor refused to give in. Why is that?"

Prince Changyang has been racking his brains ever since that day but has yet to figure out what is going on.

"Anyway, I still have to inquire with the general about Marquis Xiang Ming's resignation so that I can handle it at the court tomorrow morning."

"That's right."

"Your Majesty, someone has arrived in the palace."

Princess Changyang was panicked. Just as she returned to the palace, someone came. Could it be that the emperor discovered that the military stick was fake?

"Don't panic, I'll go take a look."

Noticing his princess's emotions, Prince Changyang turned back to comfort her before leaving.

——

The Gu, Zhan, and Qian families did not leave the general's residence until nearly midnight. Each of them had their own thoughts and looked worried, and it was obvious that they had not reached an agreement.

Ye Qianning had already woken up from a nap. It was not easy for his father to resign from his official position. News came from various offices that the emperor had issued a death order to keep silent and no one was allowed to spread rumors about what happened in the palace.

The news was completely suppressed in just half a day, and the rumor that my father was going to resign was circulating on the streets.

No news leaked out, except for the news that my father had resigned from office, which was widely circulated. The situation was not good.

My father will probably have to fight alone in the court tomorrow. As for her engagement, it may not be cancelled. If she cannot cancel the engagement by entering the palace tomorrow, she will have to ask for an imperial edict.

An imperial decree that no one dared to question her anymore. If a person is not ruthless, his position will not be stable.

She needs to have a stable position and be ruthless.

The crescent moon had not yet completely disappeared, and a faint light appeared on the horizon.

Ye Qianning had finished packing and sat in the hall waiting for a cup of tea. Marquis Xiang Ming had just finished packing and walked over wearing court robes.

"Dad." She trotted over.

Xiang Minghou was stunned: "You got up so early?"

"I'm not worried that Dad will be late for court." Ye Qianning raised his hand and took his hand, and the two walked out of the mansion.

"If you're sleepy, just take a nap in the car."

Xiang Minghou carried her into the car, and then Duan Ni touched her face: "Why does it feel more swollen? Did you ask someone to apply medicine?"

"I'm not going to the palace. Even if my butt isn't spanked, my face will be a little worse." Ye Qianning's face was swollen and he was pouting, his words were a little unclear.

"Don't get stuck down again." Xiang Minghou didn't even dare to touch it. Just looking at it was scary enough.

"It's okay, my father is still worried about my medical skills."

Xiang Minghou sighed. Although he believed it, it was still painful to see the swelling like this.

There were not many people in the morning except for some scattered vendors, and the carriage soon arrived at the palace gate.
