"It's the Crown Princess! She's here with the eldest grandson of the Emperor!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone looked in the direction of the newcomers.
The palace lanterns and firelight illuminated the entire imperial city, the path Ye Qingxue rode on horseback, and also revealed her and Yun Zhaolin on horseback.
Yun Xun stared blankly at the chestnut horse, its four hooves flying as it charged toward the Zichen Palace. Closer and closer, even closer!
He seemed to be nailed to the spot, barely able to react.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has rescued the eldest grandson of the Emperor!" Zhuang Xin and Zhan Shuang were also very excited and said to Yun Zhuo.
They all knew what Ye Qingxue was doing when she left the city tonight. With Xiao Bao in Ji Mingwei's hands, it was clear that her journey would be fraught with danger, and she might not be able to return alive.
Yun Zhuo never forgot the night Ye Qingxue said goodbye to him; he knew that Ye Qingxue had made a death wish at that time.
So even though he secretly assigned his forces to Ye Qingxue and desperately hoped that she would come back alive, Yun Zhuo's breath still caught in his throat for a moment when he actually saw her come back alive with Xiao Bao.
His gaze was vacant as he stared blankly at the mother and child. The woman, dressed in an ice-blue dress, seemed to be radiating light as she rode up on horseback, protecting the baby.
Yun Zhuo was reluctant to blink, fearing it was all a dream.
However, all I could hear were exclamations of surprise, all saying that the Crown Princess had returned, that the eldest grandson of the Emperor had returned, the voices rising and falling, filled with excitement.
Yun Zhuo blinked slowly, then blinked again. Her eyes still hurt and began to turn red.
Ye Qingxue broke the deadlock and returned, bringing their child with her...
The news spread like waves, layer by layer, and even Chu Xianyun and Ye Cunsi, who were busy in the next palace, heard it.
They all stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the Zichen Palace, but their view was blocked by the eaves and high walls, and they could not see anything.
However, their subordinates had already come to deliver the message, informing them: "It's absolutely true, the Crown Princess has returned with the eldest grandson of the Emperor, and they are safe and sound!"
Ye Cunxi's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and even Chu Xianyun choked up a little. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back.
That day, when the Crown Prince couldn't make up his mind, it was he who analyzed the pros and cons with the Crown Prince. Therefore, Chu Xianyun has been very worried recently. If the Crown Princess really doesn't come back, I'm afraid the Crown Prince will never be able to forgive him for the rest of his life.
The Crown Prince might not blame him, but he might not give him an important position, or even distance himself from him!
It's wonderful that the Crown Princess is back alive.
Letting out a breath, Chu Xianyun ordered, "Even the Crown Princess managed to break through such a deadly situation, so it seems that Heaven is also helping the Crown Prince's residence. Everyone, hurry up and get to work. We must not give Prince Xuan any opportunity to take advantage of this. Once the dust settles, everyone present will be a hero!"
Chu Xianyun and Ye Cunsi actually entered the imperial city together with Yun Zhuo.
Once inside, the two sides went their separate ways.
Chu Xianyun said to Yun Zhuo at the time, "His Highness the Crown Prince can go to Prince Xuan's side with his men. If I and Lord Ye also go, it will be a complete waste of manpower."
"Furthermore, I am concerned that Prince Xuan is cunning and has multiple escape routes. Therefore, I request that Lord He Ye take men to protect the Empress Dowager's safety. If Prince Xuan is forced into a corner and resorts to desperate measures, such as kidnapping the Empress Dowager to threaten His Highness the Crown Prince, then things will be very bad!"
Yun Zhuo nodded in agreement.
However, they were too late. The Empress Dowager had already disappeared, and the palace was in chaos. Meanwhile, there was some unusual activity at the Summer Palace, which was not far from the Zichen Hall!
...
"Your Highness Prince Xuan, that person is really the Crown Princess!" Ling Ya said in a low voice. Not only was Yun Xun shocked, but even Ling Ya himself was stunned.
How is that possible?
If the Crown Princess went to Lock Dragon Fortress, she would never come back alive! Unless she didn't go to Lock Dragon Fortress.
However, the presence of the eldest grandson of the emperor in front of her indicates that she did indeed go to Suolongwu, because the eldest grandson of the emperor was right there!
At this moment, everything stood still, and it seemed that only Ye Qingxue's horse was galloping, the clatter of hooves echoing in everyone's ears.
"Whoa—" Upon arriving at the Zichen Palace, Ye Qingxue reined in the horse, which reared up high, neighed, and then came to a stop.
Behind Ye Qingxue, a team followed. Before long, Dong Bai ordered his men to carry Ji Mingwei's body forward.
Ling Ya was shocked: "Your Highness, it's...it's the Princess!"
Yun Xun's gaze swiftly slid from Ye Qingxue to the stretcher, where he saw Ji Mingwei's pale face. She lay lifeless on the stretcher, her abdomen covered in dried blood, a patchwork of red and black.
Yun Xun's pupils contracted sharply. His Weiwei... was dead?
Impossible! He didn't believe it!
Yun Xun took a step back abruptly, hardly daring to look at the person on the stretcher, unwilling to believe that the person was his princess!
"How could my queen be dead? This is impossible!" Yun Xun abruptly stopped, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Ye Qingxue: "That corpse is fake! You're lying to me! You couldn't have killed her, nor could you have saved that idiot Yun Zhaolin!!"
This is unbelievable! This can't be real, it must be fake, it's a fake corpse!
Ye Qingxue said coldly, "Dongbai, take Princess Xuan to His Highness Prince Xuan and let him confirm for himself whether this person is indeed his princess."
Dong Bai immediately ordered his men to carry Ji Mingwei's body down the steps. Ling Ya also immediately ordered his men to carry Ji Mingwei's body up the steps and place it in front of Yun Xun.
Yun Xun lowered his eyes and stared at the corpse in front of him. No matter how he looked at it, it looked exactly like Ji Mingwei. She had a mole the size of a pinhole on her neck, which was also there now.
