After leaving the study, Shen Wan went straight to the outer courtyard. When she arrived at the main gate of the Prince's Mansion, the carriage was already waiting there.
Yinshuang helped Shenwan into the carriage, then got in herself, and Chenyu led a group of people to escort Shenwan into the palace.
With the prince absent, no one could stop the princess; they had no choice but to obey. Besides, the princess was pregnant with a protective charm, and who knows, she might even rely on the young prince to save the prince's life in a critical moment. The guards were truly exhausted from having such a reckless master.
The carriage entered the palace without any hindrance. Shen Wan went straight to the Imperial Study without going anywhere else.
The Imperial Study.
The Emperor is playing chess with the Right Chancellor.
Since Eunuch Yuan was not present, Xiao Xizi was serving him.
A young eunuch stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, Princess Ling has arrived."
Why is Princess Ling going to the palace instead of staying at the Prince's residence to rest during her pregnancy?
"Let her in."
The young eunuch withdrew, and shortly after, Shen Wan went inside.
He stepped forward, curtsied to the Emperor, who asked, "Why did you come alone? Where is Yan'er?"
Just as Shen Wan was about to answer, a young eunuch rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Prince Ling has intercepted your imperial decree to revoke the title of Prince of Yanping!"
Almost the instant the words were spoken, the emperor's face turned ashen with rage, and the chess piece he was about to place was slammed back into the chess box.
Upon seeing this, Shen Wan quickly said, "Father, please calm down."
Calm down?
How could he, as the emperor, possibly appease his anger?!
He turned a blind eye to the forged immunity token and did not pursue the matter, and Yan'er also promised not to interfere in the matter further.
Is this what he means by "stopping interfering"?
They even dared to intercept imperial edicts; they're truly courting death!
Xie Jingyan wasn't there, otherwise the Emperor would have already ordered him to be dragged away and flogged. Shen Wan's words directly put her in the Emperor's line of fire: "You've come to plead for him?"
Shen Wan quickly shook her head, "No, I came to see the Prince being punished and to help him back to his residence."
emperor,"……"
Right Prime Minister, "..."
This answer was completely unexpected by the emperor, and his anger was immediately choked up.
The right prime minister's eye twitched violently twice.
How did Prince Ling and Princess Ling manage to give people the feeling that a couple is like birds in the same forest who fly away when disaster strikes, while also making people feel that their relationship was extremely good?
Prince Ling and Young Master Yun rescued the heir of Prince Yanping from the execution ground, which angered the Empress Dowager. In order to appease the Empress Dowager, the Emperor had no choice but to remove the Prince Yanping Mansion from the royal family. Prince Ling's interception of the imperial edict was a serious crime. If the Empress Dowager pursued the matter, even the Emperor could not protect Prince Ling.
Prince Ling is usually very steady in his actions, so why is he acting so recklessly today?
Shou Kang Palace.
The Empress Dowager was ill for two days. The Emperor issued an edict to demote the title of Prince Yanping. Only then did the Empress Dowager feel a little better. She had been lying in bed for two days, and her whole body was stiff. Zhao Mama helped her sit at the dressing table and did her makeup.
Looking at the haggard Empress Dowager in the bronze mirror, Zhao Mama felt a pang of heartache. Even the Empress Dowager was so distressed; she wondered how Princess Huyang was doing. These past two days, she had been so worried about the Empress Dowager's health that she hadn't even gone to see the princess.
After helping the Empress Dowager with her hair, a palace maid brought her bird's nest soup. It took Zhao Mama a lot of persuasion to finally get the Empress Dowager to eat a little.
Just as the Empress Dowager picked up the bird's nest soup, a young palace maid rushed in, saying urgently, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor's decree to strip the Prince of Yanping of his title has been stopped by Prince Ling..."
Swish.
The Empress Dowager's face, which had just begun to show signs of improvement, was so gloomy it looked like it could be squeezed dry.
The bird's nest soup in his hand was smashed to the ground by the Empress Dowager.
The exquisite white jade bowl shattered into pieces.
The palace maids serving inside the hall were all startled.
The Empress Dowager was so angry that her lips turned purple. She raised her arm and said, "Help me to the Imperial Study!"
"He got away with forging the pardon, but now he's intercepting the imperial edict. I'd like to see who can protect Prince Ling's head!"
Granny Zhao quickly helped the Empress Dowager to her feet.
Phoenix Palace.
Empress Song was listening to a palace maid report on a matter that Xie Jingyan had sent Chen Feng to the residence of Princess Huyang to find the eldest son-in-law, only to be beaten up by the heirs of the Duke of Du and the Duke of Mao.
Empress Song found it unbelievable, "Even though Prince Ling has bullied Princess Huyang's residence, he still dares to come to the Princess's door to find the Princess's husband. Does he really think the Princess's husband has a good temper? He didn't even get angry when his only son died."
The palace maid laughed and said, "I heard that after the Grand Prince Consort found out about this, he went to the Ling Prince's residence in a rage. When the servants of the Ling Prince's residence tried to stop him, he was overturned. I guess the Ling Prince has already received a good beating from the Grand Prince Consort."
Empress Song was pleased with the outcome and happily served tea.
She had only taken a sip when a palace maid rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor sent Eunuch Yuan to the Prince of Yanping's residence to read the imperial edict. Halfway through reading it, Prince Ling rushed over and snatched the edict away..."
Empress Song choked on her words, coughing several times before finally saying, "Does Prince Ling intend to anger the Empress Dowager to death?"
The palace maid said, "The Empress Dowager received the news and was furious. She has already gone to the Imperial Study to see the Emperor."
This is a spectacle you can't miss.
Empress Song put down her teacup and quickly got up.
The Imperial Study.
The emperor was drinking tea to calm his anger.
The eunuch guarding the door saw Xie Jingyan go over and quickly went into the imperial study to report, "Your Majesty, Prince Ling has arrived."
The emperor slammed his teacup heavily onto the tea table.
The Right Prime Minister didn't leave. Shen Wan rushed to his residence that day and barely saved his daughter's life. How could the Right Prime Minister not repay the debt of saving his daughter? Besides, Xie Jingyan helped the Prince of Yanping's residence, which was most likely related to the Right Prime Minister's residence by marriage. So he couldn't leave even more.
But intercepting an imperial edict is a serious crime, and no one can cover it up.
The Right Chancellor felt a chill for Xie Jingyan, and then Xie Jingyan walked in. He immediately noticed that Xie Jingyan was holding the intercepted bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.
