Lu Qiu held his saber and looked at the crowd. His stance had already been made clear. She took a step forward, forcing the crowd to retreat and hid in a corner. "I know that some of you are born martial officers, and your subordinates have some skill."

"But who says they can beat me, Lu Qiu, so you can give it a try!"

Lu Qiu, the youngest daughter of Marquis Lu, had once led troops into the battlefield.

Although there were people from the martial general background here, none of them could compare to Lu Qiu. When she said these words, those who were hiding in the corner and waiting for the right opportunity to make their move all froze in place.

Ye Jinsu added coldly, "Our people are already surrounding the outside world. Even if you can leave this room, you won't be able to leave the Cloud Light Temple."

These words scared the crowd senseless.

Ye Jinsu coldly swept a glance at them before she turned around and sat down. Her expression was one of complacency. Clearly, she was not in a hurry, or perhaps she was waiting for something.

In the quiet environment, there was only the sound of crying as well as the sound of rapid breathing. The wind outside the window blew into the cold and gloomy hall, causing everyone to shiver from head to toe.

He didn't know how much time had passed. He only knew that in the dead silence, Ye Jinsu finally made a move. She stood up and went to the window to look out at the sky. It was already past noon. Four hours had passed since he had first entered.

Four hours had passed … Ning Yunyun's side should have already gone smoothly.

Ye Jinsu looked away, turned around and sat back down.

The servants outside had already gone to inform them. Ye Jinsu reckoned that it was about time for them to arrive.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside.

Following that was the sound of swords and sabers.

One voice after another was transmitted into the hall. Upon hearing the words, the wives' faces turned deathly pale. Yet, upon hearing the words, they all smiled.

On the other side, within the Grand Princess's Pingping Hall.

Zhu Qiao reported the situation outside the palace to the Grand Princess in detail, "Everything is going smoothly, Miss Ye has successfully placed all the wives under house arrest, and now the news has spread, someone is already rushing to the Cloud Light Temple."

Very good.

The Grand Princess slightly nodded her head before continuing, "What about Fourteenth Brother?"

Just as he was asking, the sound of footsteps came from outside. The Grand Princess' personal attendant pushed open the door. Ning Yunyin walked in from the outside and took off her long, dark robe.

Zhu Qiao looked at him, immediately lowering his head and kowtowing: "Greetings Your Highness, Ning Wang."

Ning Yunyin indifferently glanced at him, then cast a look at the Grand Princess.

The Grand Princess's nervous face relaxed for a moment. She stood up, pushed open the door and looked outside, then said in a low voice, "Everything is ready, follow me."

As they spoke, the three of them left through the back door.

There was still some distance between the Supreme Peace Hall and the emperor's chambers, but the Grand Princess had already made a connection with the palace. Right now, the three of them were heading towards the emperor's Chong Yang Palace without any obstructions.

The Chong Yang Palace was eerily quiet.

The previously glorious palace was now left with only one person, Eunuch Li De.

The sound of light footsteps broke the silence. Eunuch Li was alarmed and stood up to look at the door.

Ning Yunyin was preparing to head for the inner hall.

Jing De stood rooted to the ground, his eyes wide in disbelief …

This... These are Prince Ning and the Grand Princess?

"Ning …" Ning Ning Ning … " Eunuch De looked at Ning Yunyin in shock, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Ning Yunyin glanced at him, then calmly shifted her gaze away. His pitch-black pupils were like a piece of cold black jade. He glanced at the figure lying on the bed in the inner palace, and then directly walked past Li De to the front of the emperor's bed.

He was lying in bed, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Ning Yun stood still on the bed, her gaze somewhat gloomy.

Only then did Li De react, and he threw himself in front of Ning Yunyin, exulting with joy, "That's great! Your Highness Ning Wang, you're still alive, you're back! "

"The Emperor will definitely be very happy. The Emperor has been looking forward to seeing you for days and nights!" Li De wiped his tears as he spoke emotionally.

However, there wasn't the slightest reaction from Ning Yunxiao. He only looked silently at the old man who didn't look human at all.

He had actually become like this after not seeing him for two years?

The eyelashes of the person on the bed trembled a few times, as if it was the voice of Kindness that had disturbed him. He opened his eyes and a hoarse voice came out of his throat. "Moral …"

Halfway through his words, he suddenly froze.

Because he saw a familiar face.

The emperor's eyes were wide open. He actually just stared at Ning Yunxiao without moving an inch. It was only when her eyes opened so wide that they were sore and tear-filled, blurring the scene in front of her eyes that she finally showed some reaction.

He reached out a trembling hand towards Ning Yun, his eyes filled with tears. "Yun'er …"

"Our child has come to take me away …"

I can finally see you.

Ning Yunxiao calmly blinked his eyes once, but he still didn't speak as he looked at the muddle-headed person in front of him.

On the side, De De let out a cry and rushed over. "Your majesty, your majesty, this is His Highness Ning Wang, ah, His Highness Ning Wang isn't dead …"

The person on the bed was stunned. Tears flowed out from their eyes, and the blurry image became clear once again.

He opened his eyes wide, and suddenly seized hold of the hand of Kindness, shouting words in a toneless voice.

His Majesty Ning Xi's heart ached. She turned her head to look at him and spoke with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness, the Emperor has been thinking about you these past few days. He regrets …"

"You should talk to the emperor. The emperor misses you so much!"

The emperor struggled to get up from the bed. He extended his trembling hands in an attempt to grab Ning Yunyin, but it was impossible for him to reach her. Ning Yun lowered her gaze as she looked at the withered hand. Finally, she opened her mouth and said, "Imperial Father."

The person on the bed started coughing violently, coughing up blood and spitting it out.

"You're back …"

The emperor weakly said while holding a mouthful of blood foam. The movement just now had consumed too much of his energy, and he could feel the pain in his chest as he spoke.

He knew that his time was running out.

Ning Yunyin didn't say anything, and the emperor didn't seem to want her to speak either. He just took care of his own business. "It's good that you're back …" "As long as you're back …"

"Since you're back, go and see if your mother's palace is repaired." As he spoke, the corner of the Emperor's mouth started bleeding.

Prince Ning was already accustomed to seeing such scenes, so he skillfully wiped off the blood from the emperor's mouth. He looked at Ning Yunxiao and said, "Your Highness, please say a few words to the emperor. I'm not sure how happy he's feeling right now!"

"I didn't come back to chat with you about family matters." Ning Yunyun expressionlessly looked at him, her tone as cold as if she was talking to a stranger.

Li De, who was at the side, widened his eyes and looked at Ning Yunyin, unable to say a word.

Meanwhile, the emperor lowered his head and laughed dryly twice.

He didn't have the strength to back down, and his laughter was extremely unpleasant to hear. In the end, all he could do was mutter, "I know what you want …"
