He sneered: "Take it first!"
Several people from the Palace Guards were about to attack Xue Zhiyi, but she didn't make the slightest move to evade. She simply looked into Ge Jingyang's eyes and said, "Whether I am a member of the Xue family is not for you to decide. And your Majesty only ordered the Palace Guards to temporarily detain the Xue family. How could you allow you to use private punishment without authorization? Could it be that you are disobeying the order?"
Upon hearing this, the people from the Palace Front Department hesitated for a moment and looked at Ge Jingyang.
But Ge Jingyang laughed heartily. "Who can prove that I was the one who unlawfully used private punishment, and that you were not killed by mistake because you refused to obey? Xue Zhiyi, there is no evidence to prove your wrongdoing. With such a serious case, who would delve into the cause of death of the daughter of a guilty minister?"
After that, he ordered again: "Catch him!"
At this moment, a quarrel was heard, and it seemed that someone was breaking into the Xue Mansion.
Ge Jingyang frowned. He turned around and saw the people he brought with him rushing in from outside the door: "Sir!"
"What's the matter?" he asked.
The man said, "Someone ignored the attempts to stop us and insisted on breaking in, saying... there was a decree from the Empress Dowager."
"The Queen Mother?"

When he stepped through the door, his bright red sleeves fluttered, so flamboyant and bright. In the midst of such gloom and chaos, Xue Zhiyi suddenly felt his eyes brighten.
Meeting his gaze, Huo Wuyou crossed his arms and raised his brows slightly.
"Luckily, fortunately, I almost missed out on this excitement." He said, glancing at Xue Zhiyi from afar: "Congratulations, Xue Zhiyi."
He picked up the scroll with the phoenix pattern in his hand and said, "There is something good for you here."
Xue Zhiyi understood what he meant, and the corners of his lips relaxed unconsciously.
She was reborn today, and Huo Wuyou seemed to be the first person to congratulate her today.
