"Yes, nephew remembers," the emperor replied, feeling extremely resentful. He was filled with both deep regret and intense hatred.
He felt he couldn't wait any longer; he had to get the medicinal ingredient out as soon as possible. He wouldn't be able to sleep soundly as long as Dongli Lu Cang remained alive.
Dongli Lu Cang had no idea that the emperor was preparing to deal with him again, because the other party had his head down and he could not see the expression on his face.
However, no matter what moves the opponent makes, he still maintains the same attitude: when soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it.
As for the eldest princess, she was sent back to her residence and didn't wake up until evening. Upon waking, she stared blankly ahead, seemingly lost in thought.
Her unusual behavior worried those who served her greatly, and it also worried Princess Langhua greatly. She never dreamed that her brother would one day be executed.
She never imagined that Yunzhi held a more important place in Lu Cang's heart than she had thought.
Thinking of her brother's death and seeing her grieving mother, Princess Langhua secretly vowed that she would never let Yunzhi go. Since Lu Cang of Dongli cared so much about Yunzhi, she would make him taste the pain of loss.
Thinking this, Princess Langhua clenched her fist, as if she had made a decision.
But right now, she needed to check on her mother. So she tried calling her name a few times, but when she found that her mother still didn't respond, she started to panic.
Turning her head, she looked at the old woman beside her and asked, "Granny Fang, what's wrong with Mother?"
"Princess, don't worry, this old servant will send someone to fetch a royal physician to take a look." Granny Fang sighed and instructed her servants to fetch the royal physician.
When the imperial physician arrived, he gave the princess several acupuncture needles, and she slowly began to respond. Then she burst into tears.
Her son died, and she was filled with hatred!
She wanted nothing more than to kill Dongli Lucang, to eat his flesh and drink his blood. But she was no match for Dongli Lucang; she had no way to deal with him.
It seems she has no choice but to seek revenge for her son in another way.
Dongli Lu Cang forbade them from touching Yunzhi, but she insisted on doing so. She happened to hear that Yunzhi's uncle's family had arrived, so she decided to start with them.
Thinking of this, the princess suppressed her grief and then gave instructions to Granny Fang.
"Princess, what do you want to do?" Granny Fang looked at her mistress with some concern, afraid that she would offend the Regent again.
To be honest, she was still quite afraid of the regent.
"Alright, don't think so much. Just do what I tell you to do, and I'll bear all the consequences." The princess waved her hand. She knew what Granny Fang was worried about, but her son was gone, so what was there to fear? At worst, she'd just die.
Seeing that the princess wouldn't listen to reason, Granny Fang had no choice but to send people to investigate the whereabouts of the Xu family and prepare to arrest them.
Yunzhi had no idea that the Princess had set her sights on her uncle's family; she was currently showing them around the capital.
Xu Liang had been to the capital a few times, but always for business. Each time, he came and went in a hurry, with hardly any time for shopping.
As for Jiang and her two sons, it was their first time visiting the capital. Therefore, they found the capital quite novel and happily strolled through shop after shop and tourist attraction after tourist attraction with Yunzhi.
When they were tired, they reluctantly headed home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a figure standing in front of the gate, looking around anxiously.
"Miss, Uncle, that man looks like Lord Yun."
