"We have to make an investigation. There are no remnants of the rebel army!" Cui He's stern voice rang out. There was no doubt in his tone.

Finally, he eased his tone and continued, "Therefore, everyone, please return to your seats for now. We will investigate every single one of your servants in the Grand Princess's palace."

This meant that they were suspecting the servants, not the nobles.

As expected, when these words came out, the surroundings became much quieter. Everyone understood the rules and sat back down without wasting any time.

When the Emperor arrived, Cui and the others had already investigated everyone in and out of the Pingping Palace.

The troupes were all in the palace, and the servants in the Grand Princess Palace had served them for many years as well. There was no reason for any problems to occur.

The problem came from the man who delivered the wine.

Outside the palace, there was an old man brewing wine in the capital. The Grand Princess wanted to let everyone have a taste, so she ordered wine from him. As a result, the barbarians had snuck into the palace, and they had disguised themselves as people, servants, and maids of the troupe …

No one really noticed them leaving.

The Emperor was so angry that his face paled when he arrived. With a few words, he held the Qi King accountable. "Why do you have barbarians among your people?"

Such a thing had happened in the palace, the most hateful thing of all was that the Qi King himself had exposed a flaw to lure them in!

How could this make anyone angry.

If it wasn't for Consort De urging her on from the side, the emperor's age would have directly caused him to pass out from anger.

Everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to speak up. The Qi King plopped his knees on the ground, "This is my son's fault. I neglected the people around me!"

The emperor was so angry that he said, "Of course you're wrong!"

"Your fault is foolishness! The mistake was laughable! "

"You were actually tricked by these people, you are simply disgraceful!"

The emperor's words were extremely heavy. The Qi King kneeled on the ground and lowered his head deeply, not daring to say a single word.

All of them knelt on the ground in silence, avoiding his gaze. No one wanted to have anything to do with it, and they were completely unaware of it.

The Qi King had acted rashly, simply not putting their safety in his eyes.

At this moment, no one dared to speak up for the Qi King.

Cui He searched every nook and cranny of the Pingping Hall, confirming that no survivors had escaped. Only then did he return to the emperor's side and report, "Reporting to the emperor, all the rebels are here."

"In addition, Grand Princess, Princess An Yun and her young royal grandson have been frightened. The imperial physician is treating them right now."

The sound of a child's crying could still be heard in the palace. It was heart-wrenching.

Ye Jinsu secretly clenched her fingers and cast a glance at Ning Yunyin, who was standing at the side. However, Ning Yunyin only lowered her eyes in silence. There was no expression on her face, nor was there any change in her emotions.

Ye Jinxiu frowned and looked away.

On the other side, Ning Yunqi was kneeling on the ground with her fists clenched. Her eyes were sinister.

The emperor was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving the matter to General Qi and Cui He. Ning Yunqi was still a prince after all. Even if he was in the wrong, he couldn't be punished so easily. His Majesty was determined to thoroughly investigate this matter.

If that was the case, the Qi King might not be able to escape his punishment.

Everyone was well aware of this, so they didn't dare to say anything else. However, after the emperor left, the scene immediately relaxed, with nervousness and panic mixed within.

At some point in time, Lady Shu had appeared in front of Ye Jinxiu and pulled her hand. "Good little sister, why are you here?"

"When I saw you being swept away by the crowd just now, I was so scared that I thought you were caught by those vicious people. Are you alright?" She reached out her hand to grab Ye Jinsu's arm and put down her sleeve that was slightly raised.

The tooth mark on his arm that was about to be exposed was blocked. Ye Jinsu instantly understood and said, "I'm fine. I just got pushed to the back."

"It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine." Mrs Shu happily opened her mouth, only then did she pat her chest and return to Ning Yunquan's side.

Their voices were not loud, but neither were they small.

It was just to the extent that Ning Yunqi could hear him.

Ye Jinsu glanced in Ning Yunqi's direction and saw that he was also looking at her. Her eyes, which were as black as Ning Yun's, were filled with a sinister light. Ye Jinsu quietly avoided his gaze.

"How's the child?" Ye Jinxiu frowned and asked Ning Yunyin.

Right now, she felt that Ning Yunyin was playing a little too hard.

These children are innocent.

Lady Shu saw that something was wrong with the two, so she hurried to smooth things over. "Don't worry, the imperial physicians are all here." "Sister is really worried, let's go in and take a look."

Ning Yunquan also wanted to go take a look, but Ye Jinsu hesitated.

They can go, but they don't need to?

But before Ye Jinsu could say anything, Ning Yunyin grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go."

Ye Jinxiu pursed her lips and was dragged over.

Inside the palace, the three children were asleep. The imperial physicians were writing down prescriptions, and the room was filled with the incense of rejuvenation. The Grand Princess was sitting on the edge of the bed, taking care of the children. When she saw Ning Yunquan and the rest enter, she made a shushing gesture with her hands.

Ning Yunquan lowered his voice and said, "Are these little bastards alright?"

The Grand Princess shook her head, her expression calm. "It's fine. I'll be fine after a nap."

Ye Jinsu, who was standing at the back, looked at the child on the bed through the gap between their brows, and her brows furrowed even more.

The imperial physician who was waiting outside finished writing the prescription and handed it over to the maidservant of the Grand Princess. "Princess An Yun and the two royal grandsons have just received some surprises. Let them sleep for a while.

The Grand Princess nodded. In front of the imperial physician, she had completely revealed the fragility of a mother. She looked at the child on the bed with tears in her eyes.

Ye Jinxiu was dumbfounded by this sudden change.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Once the imperial physician had left and only his own people were left in the hall, the Grand Princess took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears away. She spoke with extreme calmness, "Are there any survivors outside?"

"None. Kill them all." Ning Yunyin sat at the side and chatted with them, even leisurely drinking tea.

Ye Jinsu widened her eyes as she stared at Ning Yunyin, clenching her fists tightly.

She really couldn't accept that Ning Yunyin was still able to discuss this matter lightly.

Even the Grand Princess!

She put her hands on Ye Jinsu's shoulders and smiled at her, patting her on the shoulder.

Ye Jinsu's expression finally eased up a little.

The Grand Princess reached out and patted the child on the bed. She looked at Ning Yunxiao and said, "Cui He belongs to the Emperor, so there's no need to worry about any accidents."

"I just don't know if they will interfere with General Qi's side."

Ning Yunquan sneered from the side, then sat down and said, "This is a huge matter. Soon, everyone in the capital will know about it."

"When the time comes, no matter how much the Qi King's people protect him, he won't be in this climate anymore."

"That's enough." Ning Yunyin spoke indifferently from the side.
