"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Lord Song covered his head and stood up, staggered, and fell to the ground again. He looked at the two guards with a dizzy look and said, "Or... or drag me down."

“…”

Two guards picked up the man, one on each side, and dragged him out of the door.

"Someone, summon the Third Prince into the palace." Emperor Beili shouted.

The eunuch outside the door responded and left.

"My beloved concubine, please take the prince away first."

"Father, Dean Chen has left Beili. What about the Loushan Academy?" Sang Qi asked.

"Someone will take over the academy. You don't have to go to the general's residence to pay your respects tomorrow. I'll have someone take you back to the academy."

"I'll go take a look."

"She is no longer from Beili. I will announce it to the world tomorrow. It is better for the common people not to read it."

Sang Qi was stunned when she heard this: "What about Mother's collaboration with the enemy? Will Father punish Mother?"

"This matter is not your business. Go away."

Sang Qi pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Your son will take his leave."

Concubine Yuan wanted to pull him, but he dodged her and turned around and left the hall on his own.

"Qi'er." Concubine Yuan chased out.

Sang Qi walked out of the Dragon Scale Hall and down the stairs before turning around with an unhappy look on his face: "Mother, you colluded with Dong Yi, and your senior brother also killed Ye Qianning, didn't you?"

"Qi'er, none of this is true. Ye Qianning was injured by mistake."

"Mother, please stop quibbling. I'm not stupid and heard everything clearly in the palace just now. Now I just want you to tell me the truth."

Concubine Yuan looked a little uneasy. She grabbed his shoulders with both hands and squatted down. "Qi'er, everything I did was for you. Your father treated me the way he did. As long as you are well, everything I did will not be in vain."

Sang Qi saw his mother's determination in his eyes, and his heart was slightly shaken. His mother did everything for him, so how could he let her suffer for others?

"Qi'er, mother doesn't care what others think. Even if mother has to die for you, I will have no complaints." Concubine Yuan held Sang Qi in her arms.

Sang Qi's determination gradually collapsed.

Inside the Longlin Hall.

The Emperor of Beili was upset. How could he let Dean Chen, Qian Fu, and their renounced nationality leave Beili?

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Li stepped forward holding the imperial edict.

Emperor Beili looked at the imperial edict, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Put it down, and make me a bowl of ginseng soup."

"yes."

Eunuch Li placed the imperial edict on the table and walked out.

"Eucommia ulmoides." Emperor Beili called out.

In the empty palace, a figure in black suddenly appeared: "Your Majesty."

"Arrange shadow guards to go to the General's Mansion and make sure to keep an eye on Dean Chen and the Qian family. As long as they leave Kyoto City, I don't want them to leave Beili alive."

"Yes, I will do it right away."

The Emperor of Beili was filled with a fierce aura. No matter how capable Dean Chen was, Beili was his world. Whoever he wanted to die would be killed in an instant.

——

Outside the palace gate.

Zhan Yi walked out of the palace gate and quickly caught up with Dean Chen: "Dean, are you really going to take my granddaughter away from Beili?"

"The little girl has no feelings for Beili. If it weren't for her attitude when she recognized Marquis Ming as her relative, she would have left Beili long ago." Dean Chen knew Ye Qianning better.

A person as talented and learned as her, who yearns for freedom, is a shining pearl wherever she goes.

If Marquis Xiang Ming was the same as the other families, the little girl would never be willing to stay here.

"But she has the blood of the Zhan family flowing in her veins..." Zhan Yi also understood what Dean Chen meant, but he couldn't let it go.
