"Summon the Eighth Prince to leave the palace immediately!"
The gatekeepers had never seen anything like this before and were quite frightened. They quickly sent someone to invite Zhao Zhiyan.
When Zhao Zhiyan arrived, he saw that the entrance was already surrounded by a huge crowd. When he met Yun Ke's bloodshot eyes, he looked away guiltily.
"Eighth Imperial Uncle, I want to see A-Yue."
“Madam Song, she…” Zhao Zhiyan choked on his words, unable to get the sentence out.
Yunke said in a deep voice, "Eighth Imperial Uncle! I trusted you so much, why have you betrayed my trust!"
“We had an agreement that if we detained Lady Song in the Eighth Prince’s mansion, we would hand over military power to you. Now you’re taking this opportunity to cause trouble. Aren’t you going back on your word?”
Xu Lingqing arrived just in time, her face calm: "No matter what, you will not see Lady Song today. Once the matter is cleared up, or the Emperor wakes up, we will naturally send Lady Song back safely."
Seeing Xu Lingqing speak with such conviction, the crowd began to waver for a moment.

Zhao Zhiyan turned his head to look at Xu Lingqing, lying without batting an eye, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Yun Ke raised his chin: "If we can't see A Yue, what about Yun Dong? She's just a personal maid and can't threaten anyone. Surely she can show her face?"
Xu Lingqing's expression changed slightly, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
“Yes, we can’t just keep a little maidservant here forever, can we?” the old prince said.
Xu Lingqing snorted: "We agreed on this beforehand, who knows what tricks you're playing this time? You demand other things after seeing the little maid..."
Yunke took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to the old princes behind him to read: "This was sent to the Guangjia Prince's Mansion by Consort Rou yesterday. I can't wait a moment longer. I must see her today. If you dare to break in, you will all be my witnesses."
"This... Consort Rou is too arrogant, actually threatening Lady Song's life. We can't disbelieve what Physician Li said earlier. The Eighth Princess's attitude clearly shows she's guilty. She's even holding a little maid hostage. Something must have happened to her!" the old prince said angrily.
