After the guard withdrew.
The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince sat down again.
The Fifth Prince frowned slightly and pondered for a while before speaking: "Second Brother, Third Brother, it seems we're in a difficult position."
"Hmph, no matter what, Seventh Brother absolutely cannot live."
"That's right."
"Alas! Your Majesty knows this, but it seems that the Seventh Prince will not be leaving the capital."
"You won't leave the capital? What do you mean?"
"Second brother, Father Emperor has personally gone to see Seventh Prince. Do you think Seventh Prince will still leave the capital?"
Upon hearing this, the crown prince frowned, his face filled with coldness.
The third prince also fell silent.
After a while.
The Crown Prince, as if remembering something, asked, "By the way, who were the people you were looking for before? How come Ye Qingcheng returned safely without any problems?"
"I only sent my own people. I thought she was just a weak woman and I could easily handle her. Who would have thought that Seventh Brother would send so many experts over there, and none of our people have returned."
Upon hearing this, the crown prince's eyes darted away.
At this moment, he regretted it a little and went to inform Qin Mohan.
But then he realized that if Ye Qingcheng hadn't come back alive, this wouldn't have happened.
Thinking of this.
The Crown Prince sighed deeply and looked at the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince again.
"My two younger brothers, what do you think we should do now?"
The Third Prince frowned slightly and shook his head: "If the Seventh Prince had really been expelled from the capital, it would have been easier to handle. But now that Father has gone to find him, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave the capital."
Upon hearing this...
The Empress Dowager looked at the Fifth Prince: "Fifth Brother, you have the most ideas, what are your thoughts?"
The Fifth Prince pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "In my opinion, we can only wait and see. If the Seventh Prince really leaves the capital, then we will act as we discussed before. If he doesn't leave the capital, we will think of another way after the autumn hunt in a few days."
"Um!"
After listening, the Crown Prince nodded and looked at the Third Prince.
"Third brother, what do you think?"
"That's all we can do for now."
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now!"
"Second brother, why don't you send someone to inquire with the Empress Dowager and see if we can get any information? I have a feeling that this time, the Seventh Prince will be more favored by the Emperor than before."
"Hmm! Very well, I will send someone to the palace to inquire about the situation with the Empress Dowager."
The Third Prince nodded after hearing this.
The three then exchanged a few more words before going their separate ways.
This way.
Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan quietly entered the palace.
Because the Emperor had given instructions after returning to the palace that if Qin Mohan and his companion entered the palace, they should not be stopped and should be allowed to pass directly.
Therefore, the couple entered the palace smoothly, and then, led by Eunuch Yin, they arrived at Ye Jingyu's bedroom.
"Mother."
Upon seeing Ye Qing arrive, Ye Jingyu channeled all his longing into strength.
He shouted and then dashed into Ye Qingcheng's arms.
"Yu'er".
Ye Qingcheng also hugged him tightly, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"Yu'er, are you alright? Come, let your mother see you."
As Ye Qingcheng spoke, she squatted down and carefully scanned Ye Jingyu's body.
"Mother, I am doing well."
"Um!"
After looking her over, Ye Qingcheng smiled and nodded.
"Mother, are you here to take Yu'er away?"
"this…"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's face showed reluctance.
"My son, your mother and father need to leave the capital for a while."
"leave?"
"Um!"
"Is Yu'er going with you too?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng shook her head with a guilty expression: "I'm sorry, Yu'er, your mother and father cannot take you with us this time."
"Why? Mother? Don't you want Yu'er anymore?" Ye Jingyu said with a wronged expression.
Ye Qingcheng felt heartbroken watching this, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she couldn't control the imperial power.
Besides, thinking about it, the Emperor is right. As long as they leave the capital, someone will definitely be unable to restrain themselves and try to kill them. It would not only be inconvenient for them to bring Ye Jingyu along, but it would also put Ye Jingyu in danger.
"Yu'er, how could your mother abandon you? You are my life. I wish I could keep you by my side every day, but..."
“Mother, if that’s the case, why don’t you take Yu’er with you? Do you know that Yu’er is not only bored in this palace, but also very restricted?”
Upon hearing this...
Ye Qingcheng felt another pang of heartache.
At that moment, she had an impulse to go to the Emperor and beg him to let Ye Jingyu go with them.
However, she eventually suppressed her impulse and sighed.
"I'm sorry, Yu'er. I wanted to take you with me, but this time, my father and I have important business to attend to outside the capital, and it's a bit dangerous. I can't let you be in danger, so I have no choice but to leave you in the palace."
"Mother..."
Ye Jingyu cried at this moment. He had never cried before in his life. It must be because he was in the palace and his emotions were being suppressed.
Seeing him cry, Ye Qingcheng felt a pang of heartache and raised her hand to wipe away his tears.
"Yu'er, I'm sorry."
"Mother, when will you be back?"
"this…"
Ye Qingcheng didn't want to lie to him, so she shook her head at him: "This time, your mother and father may not be back so soon after leaving the capital, but I promise you, I will definitely come back as soon as possible and take you out of the palace, okay?"
