As soon as the Ninth Prince finished speaking, the horse farm erupted in cheers.
It's one thing to involve the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, but how come the Changdu Marquis's Mansion is also dragged into this?
Could it be that the Marquis of Changdu was also involved in tonight's events?
The palace was small, yet so many people were plotting a rebellion.
horrible!
That's terrifying!
So many people died tonight!
Listening to the sounds around him, the emperor asked gloomily, "A-Yuan, what exactly is going on?"
The Ninth Prince put Yuan Yao down, took her hand, and sneered, "Bring her up."
Soon, the Imperial Guards carried away the bodies of those who had blown up the lake embankment and piled them up on the ground.
The emperor looked over in surprise.
Everyone looked toward the few corpses.
The Ninth Prince said coldly, "Vice Minister of Justice, come forward."
The Vice Minister of Justice strode toward the corpse.
He squatted down and examined each of the corpses.
After the inspection was completed, he glanced at the Ninth Prince.
The old man's narrow eyes were filled with coldness.
The Vice Minister of Justice bowed to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, all of these people have the character 'white' tattooed on their necks."
Looking around, the only family that dared to blow up the lake embankment, destroy the palace, and plot against the royal family and officials was the Bai family of the Marquis of Changdu.
From the crowd came shouts: "Injustice! Injustice!"
The sound was blocked.
Soon, more than a dozen people were forced to kneel on the grass where water was seeping out.
The white-haired Marquis of Changdu, without even an outer robe on, cried out, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I know nothing of tonight's events..."
The emperor looked at the Marquis of Changdu with disappointment: "The evidence is all there. You think you can just accuse me of wrongdoing?"
The Marquis of Changdu was trembling all over. He wanted to explain, but he found that the evidence was right in front of him, and he had no way to plead his case.
The emperor said gloomily, "The Rongguo Duke's Mansion and the Changdu Marquis's Mansion were accused of regicide and treason. They should all be brought back to the capital and imprisoned in the imperial prison."
All immediate family members were to be executed!
For the tribesmen beyond the third generation, all the men are registered as slaves and all the women are registered as prostitutes..."
On the horse racing track, a group of people knelt on the ground.
The sky gradually brightened.
The emperor looked wearily at the Ninth Prince: "A Yuan."
The Ninth Prince's eyes turned icy: "We can't stay in the temporary palace any longer. Everyone, wait! We're returning to the capital today!"
The emperor nodded and ordered an imperial decree to be issued.
The Ninth Prince embraced Yuan Yao and strode away.
Last night's ambush left the entire palace reeking of blood.
Although it had been washed away by a night of heavy rain, the smell of blood had seeped into the soil and was difficult to dispel.
The smell of blood mixed with the smell of dirt was truly unpleasant.
After Yuan Yao got caught in the rain, she started to have a fever as soon as it was light.
The carriage was covered with thick blankets and two layers of brocade quilts.
Yuan Yao took the medicine and lay drowsily in bed.
Jing'er wept beside her, saying, "I shouldn't have left the princess! If I were here, the princess wouldn't have caught a cold..."
Yuan Yao opened her heavy eyelids and looked at Jing'er: "Don't cry, your crying is making me dizzy..."
Upon hearing this, Jing'er cried even louder.
Yuan Yao: "..."
My brain is buzzing.
She raised her hand, rubbed her temples, and asked Jing'er, "Where is Father?"
Jing'er wiped her face and quickly said, "His Highness the Crown Prince is seriously injured and caught a chill last night. His condition is not good."
The Emperor was frightened, so he summoned His Highness.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao's eyelashes trembled.
Jing'er quickly said, "Mr. Aning and Mr. Heyin are both here, the Crown Prince will be alright! Mr. Aning assured me!"
However, the emperor simply didn't believe it...
Yuan Yao nodded.
Jing'er tucked Yuan Yao in before asking, "Is the princess hungry? I've made some porridge for her."
Porridge?
Yuan Yao shook her head: "I have no appetite."
She really wanted to eat some spicy hot pot.
Unfortunately, it's just a thought.
Jing'er sighed, "It's all because I'm useless... If I knew even a little martial arts, I could have protected the princess..."
As she spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes again.
Yuan Yao: "..."
Yuan Yao's throat was a little dry, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Jing'er, pour me a glass of water."
water?
Jing'er slapped her own face: "Look at me! I'm so useless! The princess must be so thirsty..."
Yuan Yao's lips twitched slightly.
The carriage seemed to have come to a temporary stop.
Yuan Yao shifted, trying to get out of bed.
Suddenly, the carriage curtain swayed.
A figure slipped into the carriage.
Jing'er almost cried out in surprise.
The young guard raised his hand and pressed her pressure point to silence her: "Shut up, don't shout. I'll take care of the princess."
Jing'er's eyes darted around.
With a flick of his finger, the little guard released her speech-impairing pressure point.
Jing'er let out a long sigh: "Princess... this servant will wait outside the carriage?"
Yuan Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Go."
Jing'er used both her hands and feet to get out of the carriage.
Yuan Yao peeked out from under the brocade quilt and blinked.
"Are you feeling unwell?" the junior guard asked.
Yuan Yao nodded: "Mm..."
Father's internal energy has not recovered, Canfeng's internal energy has not recovered, and Poyue is injured again...
Shadow, I don't know where he/she has gone...
No one was giving her internal energy, and her poor, fragile little body couldn't even escape catching a cold.
Wronged……
It's so uncomfortable...
I really want to learn martial arts!
The young guard glanced at the carriage, sat down next to her, reached out, picked up the teapot from the small table, and poured a cup of water: "Shall I feed you?"
"ah?"
Yuan Yao was a little embarrassed.
Before she could refuse, the little guard brought over a teacup and said, "Take a sip and moisten your lips."
"Um……"
Yuan Yao struggled to sit up and, with the help of the little guard, began to gulp down water.
After finishing her drink, she said softly, "I want more."
The little guard's hand suddenly trembled.
Yuan Yao: "?"
The young guard turned around and poured another glass of water.
Yuan Yao leaned closer.
After drinking two glasses of water, her wandering soul finally returned somewhat.
Yuan Yao pursed her lips before asking, "Is Po Yue feeling better?"
The young guard nodded and said in a deep voice, "Much better."
Yuan Yao was relieved.
Then she asked, "Have you seen Canfeng? Canfeng has lost his internal energy, I wonder if he was injured last night..."
The young guard muttered, "He's not injured."
Yuan Yao nodded: "Fortunately, he didn't try to be brave."
Little bodyguard: "..."
The junior guard muttered, "Me too... a guard."
Your bodyguard.
"Hmm?" Yuan Yao looked up.
Unfortunately, the little guard's face was shrouded in black mist, making it impossible for her to see his face at all.
However, his skin is really fair...
The guard was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I'll transfer my internal energy into you."
"ah?"
A hint of surprise appeared in Yuan Yao's eyes.
Is it really possible for him to be so young?
However, before she could speak, the little guard said, "Turn around."
Yuan Yao: "..."
Yuan Yao had no choice but to obediently do as she was told.
She cannot undermine a child's confidence.
A warm sensation spread across my back, and then a pair of hands covered my back.
The warm internal energy clung to her skin, flowing into her body and dispelling the chill within.
My body feels warm and cozy.
Yuan Yao felt so comfortable that she wanted to fall asleep.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the carriage.
Xie Zhi stood outside the carriage and announced loudly, "Little Yao'er, this young master has entered..."
