He turned to King Qi and said, "I'll exchange them for them. You can arrest me and do whatever you want with me."
The King of Qi curled his lips into a smile. "You are not qualified."
After speaking, he gave the Prince of Xiang a provocative look.
This is blatant provocation and sowing discord.
Everyone knows that Emperor Rongsheng is very suspicious, and Prince Xiang doesn't even dare to keep his own guards to avoid suspicion.
Now that they have stepped forward, both the Prince of Xiang and his wife seem fearless.
Everyone felt that the emperor had wronged the Prince of Xiang in the past.
"So, in Prince Qi's eyes, the life of the Empress is so insignificant?" Yan Zhilan looked at him with a calm expression.
When he was a child, only the Princess Consort of Xiang was willing to give him a kind look.
People in the palace treated him like he was invisible.
Therefore, the Prince of Qi also liked to be close to the Princess Consort of Xiang, and whenever he saw her, he would sweetly call her "Royal Aunt!"
Yan Zhilan was reminding him of those days.
He should be persuaded, even if it's just a shred of kinship, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Although Yan Zhilan appeared calm on the surface, she was actually terrified. She feared that the Prince of Qi would go mad and actually kill the Prince of Xiang.
She hoped that her past kindness towards the King of Qi could awaken his conscience.
She could imagine that she could not survive without the Prince of Xiang.
A hint of surprise flashed in King Qi's eyes; he hadn't expected Yan Zhilan to be so resolute.
However, it is also known that Princess Xiang is actually worried about Prince Xiang.
He stared at Yan Zhilan and said with a half-smile, "Alright! Since you're not afraid of death, I'll let you stay here. However, Princess Yu cannot leave."
Yan Zhilan took a deep breath, straightened her posture, and met Qi Wang's gaze without fear. She was about to speak when Jiang Chuwei interrupted her, "Qi Wang might have agreed not to harm them."
Lin Mupo said impatiently, "Letting them leave here won't cost them their lives. Men, tie up Princess Yu, and lock all the women in Zhaohua Palace."
Out of consideration for past favors, they did not tie up Princess Xiang as well.
The ladies and young women immediately rushed towards Zhaohua Palace.
Some of them gave Jiang Chuwei a grateful look.
I never expected that Princess Yu would have such courage.
No wonder Prince Yu loved her so much.
Just now, they didn't dare to run away, thinking that they were safest by the emperor's side.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was completely unprepared, and the situation in the palace was easily taken over by Prince Qi.
Yan Yunyao walked beside Jiang Chuwei and whispered a reminder, "Be careful!"
Jiang Chuwei nodded.
If I can get them out of danger first, then my trip back will not have been in vain.
Nightingale whispered in Jiang Chuwei's ear, "Prince Yu will soon storm the palace."
Jiang Chuwei was overjoyed; the Prince of Yu had returned so quickly.
Jiang Chuwei coldly watched the King of Qi. He was waiting, waiting for his men to find the imperial seal.
Lin Mushen was very anxious.
He hoped that the King of Qi's men would find the imperial seal as soon as possible.
He was always uneasy.
He looked at Jiang Chuwei and saw that there was no unusual expression on her face. Could it be that he was overthinking it?
Upon arriving at Zhaohua Palace, the group quickly closed the palace gates to prevent the King of Qi's men from pursuing them.
The women sat together, their expressions filled with panic.
"I wonder what the King of Qi's true intentions are in this rebellion..." a lady asked hesitantly.
“Now that His Majesty the Emperor’s fate is unknown, we are afraid we will not escape our doom as well…” another young lady began to sob.
Yan Yunyao comforted everyone, "Don't panic, everyone. Someone will definitely come to rescue us."
The women waited anxiously, hoping the emperor would have a backup plan!
Meanwhile, inside the underground passage of the Linlang Palace.
Everyone found it very strange.
There was such a place inside the palace.
Princess Qingning, seeing the undisguised worry in Madam Jiang's eyes, comforted her, "Sister-in-law, you will be alright."
She was actually just trying to comfort herself with those words.
Her father and mother were also unknown.
I hope my mother's fiery temper won't anger Prince Qi.
Only the Ninth Prince, the birthday boy, was looking around curiously.
"Mother, why are we here?" he asked in a childish voice.
Consort Mei stroked his hair and said gently, "There are bad people trying to harm you, baby. Your mother has brought you here to hide."
Just then, a commotion arose outside the door. Mei Fei's heart tightened; could it be Lin Mu Po's men who had come?
She quickly went to the door and looked out through the crack.
It was indeed a group of traitors searching.
Consort Mei quickly covered the Ninth Prince's mouth, making sure he didn't make a sound.
Everyone knew perfectly well that these people were searching for the princes.
The King of Qi will no longer spare the lives of his princes.
As the sound faded into the distance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The Eighth Prince nestled close to the Fifth Princess.
He stared with bewildered eyes, not daring to utter a single word.
As Mrs. Jiang watched, she became even more worried about her daughter.
They all felt very unsafe here, not knowing what the situation was like outside.
Madam Jiang prayed silently, hoping that Wei'er would be alright. Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Jiang Chuwei's voice, "Everyone, come out, everything's alright now."
No one could believe it. Princess Qingning was the first to rush out, crying out, "How are my father and mother?"
"Wait! The Princess and the Prince are both alright."
Jiang Chuwei immediately called out to her, but Princess Qingning ran away like a gust of wind.
Everyone emerged from the tunnel, desperately breathing in the fresh air.
At that moment, everyone truly felt how wonderful it is to be alive!
Seeing that her daughter was alright, Madam Jiang finally felt relieved.
Consort Mei breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, they hadn't found this place yet.
We are finally safe.
But she dared not return to the palace, fearing that there were still remnants of the rebels there.
After thinking for a moment, she immediately arranged for everyone to rest at Linlang Palace.
At least, it's safe here for now.
Jiang Chuwei was relieved to see that her mother was alright.
"Mother, I'll send someone to escort you out of the palace."
"You go out with your mother," the mother said immediately.
"Mother, don't worry, Wei'er will be careful. With Prince Yu here, he won't let anyone harm our daughter," Jiang Chuwei comforted her mother.
"The Prince of Yu has returned?" everyone asked in unison.
No wonder the rebellion was quelled so quickly.
The group, who had just been hesitant, were now completely relieved.
Now, as soon as they hear the name of Prince Yu, they trust him completely and know that they are truly safe.
Everyone decided to return to their own palaces.
They've all gotten so disheveled; they really need a good rest.
Jiang Chuwei felt a great sense of relief. The battle she had fought half an hour earlier still terrified her.
