Chapter 601 Heading to the General's Mansion

Sang Zhi raised his foot and brushed past him, then walked out the door.

Then he heard the sound of rage and something breaking behind him. Without any change on his face, he walked down the stairs.

Eunuch Li stood outside the palace, looking at the small and thin figure, with worry in his eyes. Since the Eighth Prince woke up, he had completely changed.

Dared to point a long sword at the emperor...

What should I do in the future?

"Manager Li." The young eunuch came hurriedly.

"What's wrong?"

The young eunuch leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

Eunuch Li's face changed slightly. He could hear the emperor's rage. After a moment's hesitation, he walked in. "Your Majesty, all the civil and military officials have gathered at the palace gate. Prince Helian, Prince Changyang, and the ancestor of the Zhong family have all entered the palace and are now outside Chongyang Palace, requesting an audience with Your Majesty."

Emperor Beili's anger intensified: "The Zhong family's ancestor has also entered the palace?"

"yes."

Emperor Beili's expression became complicated in an instant. The ancestor of the Zhong family had not left the house for more than 20 years. He had never seen anyone who visited him. Even when he went to the Zhong family in person many years ago, he was turned away.

Who has such great face that can invite the ancestor of the Zhong family to enter the palace in such a short time?

"Go and invite the Zhong family's ancestors and all those kneeling outside the palace to the imperial study. I want to see what they intend to do."

"yes."

"Someone change my clothes for me."

Several palace maids came in, bowed, and stood up to help Emperor Beili change his clothes.

Emperor Beili repeatedly thought about Sang Zhi's actions just now. It didn't matter if he didn't have a son who dared to kill the king, but it was just his eyes... He was willing to do it, but he was afraid it would be difficult, so he had to go along with it for the time being.

I'm afraid I can't just let it go without giving an explanation for Ye Qianning's death.

It will be difficult to deal with the situation if the ancestor of the Zhong family does not come up with a good strategy, and Yuan Yintang cannot die now.

General's Mansion

When Sang Zhi arrived at the general's mansion, he saw the white silk and white lanterns on the gate. He staggered and ran towards the gate.

The butler of the Zhan Mansion was temporarily brought to the General's Mansion to take charge of things. Seeing the visitor, he did not dare to stop him. He told the servant to report back and went to meet him.

In the hall, there was a fine coffin with a little person lying inside, and the whole hall was filled with crying.

Madam Zhan leaned against her maid and fainted several times from crying. Her face was now as swollen as a steamed bun.

Many people from the Gu family also came. Old Gu didn't say a word. He held Ye Qianning's hand and lay on the coffin. No matter who tried to persuade him, he would not move, and his eyes were red.

Only the eldest branch of the Gu family, Gu Zhifeng's family, Gu Mingqiu and his wife, Gu Yuan, and Gu Chi arrived.

Gu Yuan and Gu Chi quietly stayed beside Mr. Gu.

Gu Chi was also very sad. To be honest, he really liked this little girl, but it was a pity that she had a short life and little fortune.

Gu Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable as well. Even if the two of them had some grudges against each other, he was a scholar and death was the greatest thing. All the grudges were gone at this moment.

Gu Mingqiu didn't like Ye Qianning very much in the first place, and it was Dai who forced him to come to the general's mansion, so he was not very happy.

Dai's eyes were slightly red, and when she saw the person lying quietly, she could no longer hold back her tears.

"What's there to cry about? It's not like..." Gu Mingqiu muttered softly and was heard by Dai.

"Get out."

Dai scolded in a low voice.

Gu Mingqiu hummed and hummed, not daring to say anything more, and turned to walk out the door.

Dai took a few breaths and covered her chest with her fingers. Seeing the little girl lying quietly, she felt suffocated with heartache, even though she had only seen it a few times.

She felt that the little girl and she were destined to be together. She felt particularly close to her the moment she saw her. But before they could spend more time together, they were separated by heaven...
