Leng Chuchen understood what Granny Zhen meant. She was warning him not to let Zhiruo leave the manor, otherwise, when the Empress came, she would definitely pin the blame on Zhiwan.
He had witnessed his mother's methods firsthand.
Thinking of this, dissatisfaction surfaced on his gloomy face.
"Is Granny Zhen threatening me, the Crown Prince?"
"This old servant dares not. Before Her Majesty the Empress arrives, this old servant will not leave the Crown Prince's residence even a step."
After saying that, she waved her hand.
"Guards, keep watch at the front and back gates of the Crown Prince's residence. He is only allowed to enter, not leave."
"yes."
After receiving their orders, the palace guards split into two groups and guarded the front and back gates of the Crown Prince's residence.
Zhiruo asked softly:
"Big sister, what should we do?"
She gently patted the back of her hand, comforting her:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, you'll be fine."
Leng Chuchen also came over to comfort her:
“I will now send someone to the palace to find my father to uphold justice, so you need not be afraid.”
Yiming then stood before them, hands on his hips, raised his voice, and shouted:
"Mother, Aunt, if anyone dares to lay a finger on you, I will definitely not let them get away with it. Don't worry, Yiming will protect you."

Zhiwan ordered chairs to be brought over, and she and Zhiruo sat on them, waiting quietly for Empress Qi to arrive.
When Empress Qi arrived, she brought her niece, Qi Xian'er.
She was a woman with a pure and innocent appearance, yet undeniably beautiful.
She followed behind Empress Qi, her eyes darting around every now and then, seemingly full of curiosity about everything.
After everyone had paid their respects, Empress Qi glanced at Luo Zhiwan and went straight to the main hall of the Crown Prince's residence.
She had just taken her seat in the main hall when the sound of the Emperor's arrival came from outside.
She was startled at first, then got up and went to the door to greet him.
