Upon hearing this, Emperor Yanwu was stunned for a moment.
This news was so shocking that even someone as calm as him was unable to react for a while.
"The people of Dayan are attacking Xuanyang Gate, trying to enter the palace?"
"What are these troublemakers up to?"
The second prince frowned, his face full of confusion.
You know, the people of Yanjing City blocked the gate of the Great Yan Palace once. It was because of his marriage with Xiang Qingxue.
But only a few days had passed, and this time the people not only blocked the door, they even wanted to enter the palace. Could they be crazy?
At this time, Emperor Yanwu had recovered from the shock.
"Come in and tell me the details."
Emperor Yanwu said coldly.
"I obey your order!"
The door was pushed open, and an eunuch walked into the room and immediately knelt on the ground.
He told them everything about the Xuanyang Gate Incident.
"What? They are holding my eldest princess hostage, and they want me to give them an explanation?"
"It's just not possible. It's just not possible."
"A bunch of bastards actually dare to put forward conditions to me. Are they worthy?"
Although Emperor Yanwu was aware of the evil deeds committed by the eldest princess, what he felt first was that the imperial power was challenged.
"Your Majesty, now more than 10,000 people have gathered at Xuanyang Gate."
"If the Xuanyang Gate guards hadn't sealed the gate, I'm afraid they would have already rushed in."
The eunuch said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yanwu said nothing.
He just paced back and forth in the room, seemingly thinking about something.
"I have also heard about what Qiong'er did."
"But what I don't understand is, how did a bunch of ruffians who don't know martial arts break through the obstruction of those highly skilled guards and enter that villa?"
"This matter seems a little strange no matter how you look at it."
Emperor Yanwu said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, could it be that your sister has been plotted against by someone?"
"Otherwise, the guards around the royal sister would definitely not be caught in the other courtyard."
"At least, leaving calmly is possible."
The second prince thought for a moment and then said.
Emperor Yanwu glanced at him:
"It's not impossible!"
"However, the most urgent issue at the moment is the people."
"Now, everyone in Dayan knows what Qiong'er has done."
"If I don't give those bastards an explanation, I'm afraid our Yan family will really disappoint countless people."
“Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!”
"Although they are a bunch of bastards, without them, what is the meaning of our Yan family's imperial power?"
When the Second Prince heard this, his heart sank.
So he asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, how...how do you plan to deal with your sister?"
Emperor Yanwu was somewhat troubled by this problem for a while.
"No matter what, she is my own flesh and blood!"
"If I really wield the butcher knife against her, I will not be able to bear it."
"But the crime she committed was so great that it caused me to lose the support of a large part of the people."
"So, I must give these bastards a satisfactory explanation."
Emperor Yanwu's words made the second prince realize that his sister was finished.
Compared with the imperial power of Dayan, her life is insignificant.
Even though she is the biological daughter of Emperor Yan.
"Your Majesty, can you spare my sister's life?"
"Even if I have to be demoted to a commoner!"
The second prince pleaded with Emperor Yanwu.
"Degraded to a commoner? Haha... that depends on whether those bastards agree or not."
Having said this, Emperor Yanwu looked at the eunuch:
"Drive the Xuanyang Gate!"
"This incident is too serious. I must come out in person!"
.......
At the same time, Ye Mansion.
“Hahahaha, okay!”
"These two bastards really made it happen."
Ye Hongtu had been sending people to keep an eye on what was happening in Pingyu Lane, so he was naturally the first to learn about the people attacking Xuanyang Gate.
"Master, how do you think our Emperor will handle this matter?"
"You know, Xuanyang Gate is surrounded by tens of thousands of people."
"They have already been overwhelmed by those dry bones and corpses."
“It’s not easy to appease them!”
Mrs. Xiao held Ye Chuyao in her arms and asked Ye Hongtu.
[If I were in the shoes of that bastard emperor, I would first sentence that vicious woman, the eldest princess, to death.]
【Then a certain degree of compensation will be given to the families of the victims.】
[Of course, this is not the end. As the emperor of Da Yan, he was wrong in not educating his daughter properly.]
【At this time, it is very necessary to make another confession of guilt. 】
Ye Hongtu glanced at his precious daughter without leaving a trace.
I have to say, this daughter is really smart.
My heart's thoughts are exactly the same as his.
So, he told Mrs. Xiao exactly what Ye Chuyao was thinking.
[Ah, Daddy actually thinks the same as I do? ]
【We really have the same thoughts! 】
Ye Chuyao muttered to herself in her heart.
"Haha, if that's true, the Great Yan Royal Family will suffer a heavy loss."
"The most important thing is human nature. No matter how Emperor Yanwu tried to save her, it is a fact that his own daughter took human lives and killed countless children."
"This incident will plant a thorn in the hearts of countless people."
Mrs. Xiao chuckled.
"Madam, you are absolutely right!"
"Oh, by the way, how is Changan now?"
Ye Hongtu asked Mrs. Xiao.
Yesterday, after Song Changan was rescued by Ye Yunge and his brother, he was taken back to the Ye Mansion by the Ye family's secret guards.
"The child was just frightened, it's nothing serious!"
"Plus, with Zhilan taking care of him, he has basically recovered now."
[That guy is really amazing. ]
[After being brought to the Ye residence yesterday, she unexpectedly did not cry or make a fuss, but was unusually calm. ]
[No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like they just experienced a kidnapping. ]
[After this incident, his troubles should be over, right? ]
[Speaking of which, the intelligence capabilities of our Ye Mansion are getting stronger and stronger. We can even take care of the safety of the Song Mansion. Daddy and the others really took a lot of trouble.]
Ye Chuyao's words made Ye Hongtu look a little embarrassed.
If it weren't for the reminder from his precious daughter, how could he have sent people to keep an eye on the Song Mansion all the time?
After all, it was the intelligence provided by Ye Chuyao that helped Song Changan escape death and at the same time trapped the eldest princess.
{My precious daughter, thank you for this favor.}
{From now on, no matter what you want, even if it is the moon in the sky, I will find a way to pick it for you.}
Ye Hongtu swore in his heart.
........
Xuanyang Gate.
Thousands of people surrounded the entire palace gate tightly.
At this moment, the palace gates were closed and the guards on the city walls were nervously on guard against every move of the people.
As for the eldest princess, she seemed unusually ferocious at this moment.
Not only were her clothes disheveled, but her hair was also disheveled.
The most unbearable thing was her cheeks. Her originally fair face turned purple, and there was even some blood at the corners of her mouth.
Logically speaking, if Ye Yunge hadn't stopped her, she would have been beaten to death by the angry people.
At this moment, she sat paralyzed on the ground with her head buried in her knees, not wanting more people to see her miserable appearance.
"We want to see His Majesty the Emperor. Open the door!"
"Open the door. Today, His Majesty the Emperor must give us an explanation."
"If the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Now that the emperor's own daughter has broken the law, how should we deal with her?"
"Your Majesty, if you don't show up, we will kill the eldest princess and let her be buried with those dead children."
“........”
Countless people shouted towards the Xuanyang Gate, and many people rushed to the front of the gate and kept banging on it.
This behavior made the guards behind the door unconsciously tighten their grip on their spears.
Time passed by second by second, and a quarter of an hour later.
A sharp voice came from Xuanyang Gate:
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
