Song Yushu immediately looked at her.
The guards and servants from all over the place also turned their gazes toward it.
This pleased Yun Xiaoran greatly.
She will make sure that everyone in the palace will respect her from now on. Even if Jiang Qingwan is a princess, she will only have a hollow title and live a life of dependence on others.
Yan Yunqing also looked over at this moment.
The cold voice was flat and emotionless, as stern as a sword that only obeys orders to kill.
"I have declared: anyone who dares to make a move will be executed on the spot!"
Yun Xiaoran proudly raised her head.
"Look carefully, this was personally bestowed by the Empress Dowager!"
Yan Yunqing took the bow and arrow from the guard beside him and shot without hesitation.
With a "bang!", the arrow pierced straight into the edge of Yun Xiaoran's embroidered shoe. If it had gone in another half inch, her foot would have been ruined.
Yun Xiaoran was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly.
"You...you dare to disrespect even the Empress Dowager! I will definitely report this to the Empress Dowager one day and punish you for the crime of disrespect."
Yan Yunqing snorted coldly.
"Please go ahead!"
It's obvious they're completely unyielding.
At this moment, Song Yushu saw Jiang Qingwan coming from the backyard and immediately went to greet her and took her hand.
"Qingwan, do you know where the Prince has gone?"
Yun Xiaoran scoffed dismissively, "Aunt, even if she really knew, what good would it do? People outside don't even give face to the Empress Dowager, do you really expect her to get out?"
Jiang Qingwan didn't have time to pay attention to her sarcastic remarks and gently patted Song Yushu's hand.
"Don't worry, I will bring him back."
After saying that, he withdrew his hand and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
The sound of something cutting through the air came again, and Ye Qi's longsword flew out and cleaved the feathered arrow in two.
"This is our Ninth Prince's Consort! How dare you!"
Yan Yunqing narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Night Seven, His Highness the Ninth Prince's most trusted bodyguard, you are wielding a sharp blade and obstructing my official duties. Do you intend to openly defy the imperial decree?"
Ye Qi was about to make a move when Jiang Qingwan stopped him.
"Commander Yan, I need to see the Emperor!"
Yun Xiaoran burst out laughing.
“Listen to this, Granny Li. She wants to see the Emperor? Who does she think she is? Does she really think that just because the imperial decree of marriage has been announced, she has become the Ninth Prince’s Consort? She hasn’t even performed the ceremony or paid respects to her ancestors yet. Who will recognize her as a princess consort? Even I can’t get out of here. What makes her think she can? She’s really overestimating herself.”
Yan Yunqing slowly drew the long sword hanging on Ma'anshan Mountain. The three-foot-long green sword gleamed with a cold killing intent in the morning light.
"Trespassers will die!"
Yun Xiaoran suddenly became excited.
He desperately hoped that the sword would just chop off Jiang Qingwan's head.
Jiang Qingwan took out the dragon token from her purse and held it high.
"I want to see the Emperor!"
Yan Yunqing's hand holding the long sword suddenly stiffened.
"You actually have a dragon token?"
Jiang Qingwan tied the dragon pendant to her waist.
Take another step forward.
Even with an imperial decree, Yan Yunqing dared not stop it.
He abruptly sheathed his longsword and raised his hand to give the order.
"Give Way."
Song Yushu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not a dead end yet.
Yun Xiaoran was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.
No, this is a rare opportunity, and she absolutely cannot let this wretched woman steal all the credit.
He came out again right away.
"Sister, will you take me with you to the palace? I can ask the Empress Dowager for help. If we sisters work together, we will definitely be able to help Brother Yunhan resolve this crisis."
Jiang Qingwan glanced back at her.
"Don't you have the bracelet bestowed by the Empress Dowager? Why do you need to beg me?"
Having said that, he stepped out of the mansion gate.
Yun Xiaoran was humiliated on the spot and was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
She refused to believe that a commoner woman, without Mo Yunhan's protection, could make any waves in front of the Emperor.
If you cause trouble, it's not impossible to be beheaded on the spot.
She immediately gave a curtsy with a smile.
"Then we'll wait for your good news, Princess. Please don't let us down."
Jiang Qingwan ignored him and left the mansion with Ye Qi. As they passed by Yan Yunqing...
She heard the sound of a longsword being drawn again.
This was followed by Ye Qi's angry questioning.
"You want to fight? I'm not afraid of you."
Yan Yunqing replied, "I cannot stop the one who holds the Dragon Token, but if you dare to make a move, you will be disobeying the imperial decree and will surely die!"
"you!"
Ye Qi was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Jiang Qingwan took a deep breath.
"Night Seven, you stay here, I'll go to the palace by myself."
"princess!"
Ye Qi was filled with worry. No one knew what the Emperor intended by ordering the Imperial Guards to seal off the mansion. She was a weak woman, and even with the Dragon Token protecting her, no one could guarantee what kind of accident might happen to her once she entered the palace.
Moreover, they still need to go to Xuanling Mountain to find someone.
Right now, he can lead his men in a bloody battle and force his way through, but the charge of rebellion is now a foregone conclusion.
"Believe me."
Jiang Qingwan gave him a faint smile.
A falcon came galloping from afar, and as if sensing her presence, stopped beside her, its massive head whimpering as it nuzzled her face.
Jiang Qingwan clumsily climbed onto the horse, and then heard Yan Yunqing's voice coming from behind her.
"You two, escort the Ninth Princess Consort to the palace without fail!"
Jiang Qingwan had long known that she would not be able to go to Xuanling Mountain if she could not persuade the Emperor.
As soon as the hour of Chen (7-9 AM) arrived, people from various mansions in Chang'an began to leave for court. Seeing such a grand spectacle, they all stood in front of the carriages, watching with interest.
Jiang Qingwan fastened her cloak, spurred her horse on, and the falcon galloped away.
They moved quickly, but by the time they arrived at the palace, court officials were already entering.
Once inside Xuanwu Gate, one must dismount.
The falcon was left outside, as were the two guards who escorted it.
