"Eighth Prince, it's better not to go there at this time. No one in the general's mansion will welcome you." Du Yida said.

"No matter how the General's Mansion treats me, I will go to see her."

"what ever."

Du Yi's face turned pale. He said two words and turned to walk towards the palace gate.

Sang Zhi clenched his fingers. Not allowed to be buried on the land of Beili?

The Beili people had killed her, and they were even going to issue such an order to humiliate her. Thinking of this, he turned and headed back in the direction he had come from. He would drive her away...

The emperor... the imperial power is nothing but selfishness, he has long lost his humanity!

"Eighth brother." Sang Yan came from the direction of the front hall.

Sang Zhi pretended not to hear and left quickly.

Sang Yan hurriedly followed: "Where are you going, Eighth Brother?"

Sang Zhi said nothing, and his pace turned into a run. He wished he could fly to the general's mansion in an instant.

Sang Yan chased after him and raised his hand to pull Sang Zhi, who was running: "Eighth brother."

"Let me go, I want to ask him why he didn't even let a child go, why he didn't allow her to be buried in peace, why..." Sang Zhi struggled.

"Eighth brother, calm down." Sang Yan restrained him with both hands: "You can't go now."

"Let me go."

"Eighth brother, Ye Qianning's body was transported out of Beili for her own good. Please don't make a fuss."

"For her own good? I don't believe it."

"Do you want her to be buried in the imperial mausoleum as the Crown Princess?"

Sang Zhi, who was struggling, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Sang Yan, with confusion and questioning in his eyes.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Sang Yan let him go. "The imperial edict issued by my father was rejected by Dean Chen and the Qian family. No emperor would tolerate such a thing. In a fit of rage, my father gave two options: one was to bury Ye Qianning in the imperial mausoleum as the Crown Princess, and the other was to reject the imperial edict and prohibit Ye Qianning's body from being buried on Beili soil. Dean Chen chose the latter."

He is still surprised as to why Dean Chen would rather take the corpse out of Beili than let Ye Qianning be buried in the imperial mausoleum?

For them, posthumously conferring the title of Crown Princess and burying her in the imperial mausoleum is an honor for the entire family.

Sang Zhi calmed down and roughly guessed what Dean Chen meant. If Ye Qianning made her own choice, she would probably choose to leave Beili, as she was no less than a member of the royal family.

She longs for freedom and certainly doesn't want to be trapped in the imperial mausoleum...

"Eighth brother, do you... know why father has suddenly become so indulgent towards you?" Sang Yan was full of doubts and asked after some hesitation.

"Heh." Sang Zhi just sneered at this.

"Eighth brother?"

"Third brother, I want to go to the general's mansion." Sang Zhi's face was cold.

Sang Yan wanted to say something else to him, but the person opposite him had already passed him and headed towards the palace gate.

The Eighth Brother is no longer the Eighth Brother he used to be...

He could clearly see the indifference and alienation on his face; he had really changed.

——

In half a day, the rumors in Kyoto City were stopped, and the story of Concubine Yuan's family spread in the streets and alleys. The result was encouraging, and more people felt that the emperor was under pressure because of the people's calls.

The people who had been surrounding the prefectural government office were complacent for a while, thinking that the emperor paid more attention to public opinion.

The general's mansion was brightly lit all night long, and people who were inconvenient to visit during the day flocked to the general's mansion late at night.

Prince Changyang brought the princess and Nan Xiang into the palace to pay tribute. Nan Xiang cried like a tearful person. Her best friend in the capital died after just a few days of not seeing her.

"Mother, Fatty is dead, why are you still leaving?" Nan Xiang cried.

"Fatty's home is not in Beili. She wants to go back to her hometown with Dean Chen."
