If Ye He really is not dead, Ye Jintang is already out of control, and he also has the token given by the Emperor.

Even the prince was on her side.

If these people join forces, it won't just be a matter of being suspended from his post; he might not even be able to save his life.

However, before Jiang Mubai could even reach the territory of the General's Mansion...

He was stopped by the guards.

"Who's on the vehicle? No unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach!"

The coachman shouted angrily, "Open your eyes and see clearly, this is Lord Jiang's carriage! Get out of here right now!"

"Lord Jiang?" the guard hesitated.

"He's nothing but a marquis in name only, yet he dares to be so presumptuous. His Highness the Regent has ordered that anyone who dares to approach him will be sent to the imperial prison for harboring ill intentions!"

Inside the carriage, Jiang Mubai listened to the guard's words with a heart full of resentment.

With that prince present, it would be impossible for him to investigate the general's mansion unless he received an order from the emperor.

The more this was the case, the more Jiang Mubai became certain that the news that Ye He was not dead was very likely true.

"What should we do now, my lord?"

The coachman had no choice but to ask Jiang Mubai for help.

"Let's head back!"

Jiang Mubai was both angry and helpless.

Meanwhile, in the general's mansion.

"Your Highness, I have sent men to search, but there is no trace of General Ye."

Yunfeng approached Yeling and reported to her.

"Are you sure General Ye was in this area?" Ye Ling narrowed her eyes, somewhat doubtful.

"yes."

Having received confirmation, Ye Ling vaguely realized that something was wrong.

Ruoyehe once visited the General's Mansion, but now he has disappeared without a trace.

"Has Huishengtang sent anyone to search there?"

"My subordinates have already sent people to keep watch around Huisheng Hall, but no news has come back yet, so General Ye must not be there either."

"Then there's only one place."

"Enter the palace!"

Upon returning to the capital, Ye Jintang did not immediately go to Huishengtang, but instead went straight to the palace.

With the token in hand, it wouldn't be difficult for her to enter the palace.

"Ye Jintang, where are you thinking of going?"

Ye Qing was surprised to see Ye Jintang suddenly appear and quickly followed after her.

Ye Jintang merely gave Ye Qing a cold glance.

"Sixth Princess, please pay your debts and step aside."

The more Ye Jintang acted this way, the more it fueled Ye Qing's competitive spirit.

She reached out and blocked Ye Jintang's path, saying arrogantly, "If you don't tell me where you want to go today, don't even think about letting this princess let you leave!"

"Then I'll have to offend you."

Ye Jintang pulled Ye Qing away immediately, for nothing was more important than Ye He's safety at that moment.

Ye Qing was surprised that Ye Jintang would attack her directly, and she lost her balance and staggered several steps to the side.

If it weren't for the palace maid beside her reaching out to help her in time, Ye Qing would have already fallen to the ground.

"Ye Jintang, how dare you lay a hand on this princess!"

Ye Qing was furious.

Ye Jintang ignored Ye Qing and headed towards the Imperial Study.

Before coming, she performed a divination for Ye He.

The hexagram indicates a mixed fortune.

In other words, Ye He's life or death is entirely in the emperor's hands. If he survives today, Ye He will no longer have to hide and flee like before.

But if not, Ye He might face a fabricated charge.

Even if there's only the slightest chance of survival, she'll give it a try.

Moreover, the divination results only indicate that the outcome is half auspicious and half inauspicious.

Ye Qing stared in the direction Ye Jintang had left, gritting her teeth in anger.

What kind of place is that?

The palace maid looked in the direction Ye Qing pointed and then replied.

"Sixth Princess, that seems to be the way to the Emperor's study."

"The Imperial Study?" Ye Qing was stunned, and for a moment she was uncertain.

In other words, the reason why Ye Jintang was in such a hurry was to go to his father's study.

Could it be that Yip Kam-tong has gotten into some trouble?

No, she has to go and check.

Just as Ye Qing was about to set off, the Imperial Concubine's voice came from behind.

"Qing'er, who did you just say was in the Imperial Study?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ye Qing stepped forward, looking at the Imperial Concubine with a wronged expression.

"Mother, it's all because of Ye Jintang. It's bad enough that she suddenly entered the palace, but she almost hurt me. Mother, you must stand up for me."

"Ye Jintang?" The Imperial Concubine hesitated, clearly harboring doubts about the matter.

"She is from outside the palace, how could she enter the palace?"

The night was clear and unsatisfactory.

"It must have been the token that my father gave her."

It was precisely because Ye Jintang possessed the token that she, as a princess, was completely powerless against the other party.

The Imperial Concubine frowned and asked Ye Qing again.

"That means the person who went to the Imperial Study just now was Ye Jintang."

"yes."

Ye Qing wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the Imperial Concubine.

"Qing'er, you don't need to get involved in this matter."

After speaking, the Imperial Concubine gave an order to the palace maid who was following Ye Qing.

"You few escort the Sixth Princess back to her palace."

Ye Jintang arrived outside the Imperial Study at this moment.

"Halt! This is the Imperial Study, a restricted area. No one may approach without a summons!"

The Imperial Guards stopped Ye Jintang from getting any closer.

Ye Jintang took out the token.

"This is……"

The moment the Imperial Guards saw the token, they instantly understood the other party's identity.

"So it's Miss Ye."

"I wonder what brings you here?"

Perhaps because of the token, the Imperial Guards were more polite than before.

"Please inform the Emperor that I have something important to report."

"Miss Ye, His Majesty is not seeing anyone at the moment."

The Imperial Guards looked troubled.
