After Mu Rousang found out about this, she stayed at home uneasily, but on this day, Yang Zixuan returned only when he was close to his son's age.

He called his wife and opened the door. Seeing that the lights were still on, he asked, "Has Young Mistress ever slept?"

"No, he said he was waiting for Young Master to come back!" The old gatekeeper respectfully replied.

"Got it!" He waved the woman off and walked down the corridor to the main house.

Xia Hua and Xia He were guarding the door and were immediately overjoyed when they saw Yang Zixuan return.

"Young mistress, Young Master is back!"

"Understood, Xia Hua, go and bring up the supper. Zixuan will definitely be starving!"

Mu Rousang's gentle voice came out, causing Yang Zixuan's heart to feel warm, he felt that in this world, only his own wife would feel at ease.

"My wife, why haven't you slept yet?"

With Xia He's help, Yang Zixuan took off the thick cloak, and then opened the curtain to enter the second room.

Mu Rousang was currently dressed in a thin jacket, with her hair draped over her head, she laid on the Rohan's bed and when she saw him casually throw away her words book, she laughed: "I'll be waiting for you then!"

"Hmm, your husband understands. It's too cold to sleep alone in a bed!" Yang Zixuan replied in a bad mood as he received two white balls as gifts to Mu Rousang.

"Why did you come back so late today?" Seeing his exhausted face, Mu Rousang immediately gave way and asked him to also lie down.

Yang Zixuan naturally would not say what he had done in the dark, he only said that the yamen's matters were too busy.

He then continued, "In the past few days, Yang Juan Er has been subject to impeachment, and the crown prince has given the order for her to copy the scriptures in the Deqing Palace, a hundred times a day."

"Ugh!" How tragic! " These subjects really know how to pick their time to add insult to injury, but Mu Rousang was smiling so hard that her eyes curved.

"Sigh, it is indeed miserable. However, I am not returning late today because of her!" Yang Zixuan rubbed his glabella, thinking about how he should explain it to Mu Rousang.

"Is it about Big Brother? Today, Grandmother called me over and told me about Big Brother's trouble, but I refused. Why did he fall for it? Mu Rousang really didn't like Matriarch Yang's way of handling things.

Yang Zixuan reached out and embraced her, stroking her smooth and shiny black hair, then chuckled: "My wife treats me the best, however, you don't have to take it to heart. Grandmother only has two grandchildren, so naturally she wouldn't be willing to see anything happen to either of them, so it's only natural that she would say such a thing."

Saying that, he thought back to what happened today in the imperial court. He sighed: Yesterday, I impeached Big Brother, but now, I was suppressed by the crown prince. However, many people in the imperial court knew about Yang Zizhi's matter, and some of them even tried to force him to buy and sell evidence, but all of them came to the old emperor's side.

With that thought in mind, Mu Rousang knew that it involved the matter of seizing the chair. Su Ruirui's mother was now in the imperial court, so he was afraid that he would not let go of the chance to bite the crown prince back.

"Brother, he was the one who ordered me to do that. There was such a big mistake, I'm afraid I hate the Crown Princess."

Yang Zixuan sighed, "I'm afraid that our palace will not be peaceful any longer. Today, after the Emperor found out about this, he shouted at the officials that he should report this matter to him and ordered the eunuchs to bring over the memorials. However, that eunuch returned empty-handed."

Mu Rousang, who was still in his embrace, raised her head and asked with her small face: "Did something happen?"

"Hmm. The Palace of Hua-Yang, where the Crown Prince is usually checking his reports, is on fire." Yang Zixuan's eyes flashed. At that time, he was extremely shocked to hear this.

"Ah?" How can this be? Someone's going to destroy those papers? "Then does the Emperor not have any other methods, such as secret guards or something like that?"

However, Mu Rousang did not believe that this emperor did not have any tricks up his sleeve.

"Sigh, but the Emperor is old now!" Yang Zixuan had to point out the most important point.

He continued, "The eunuch replied that in the middle of the night, the crown prince was still busy reading the memorials. He did not expect that the paper was turned over in such a rush that it knocked over the nine-pronged candlestick on the table, causing seven out of ten of the memorials! When the young eunuch was ordered to go, the crown prince was in the midst of making people repair the main hall. However, everyone's eyes were focused on Big Brother's matters, which was why they were able to keep him hidden for a day.

"Ah, but …" Mu Rousang exclaimed as a warm hand gently covered her mouth.

"Caution!" Yang Zixuan shook his head.

"Then when the current emperor finds out …" Mu Rousang felt that this was truly the time for the wind and rain to turn misty!

Yang Zixuan moved his body and found a more comfortable position to lie down in, then he said: "This is also the reason why I came back late. I followed my superior to the palace today, and the emperor is already in a bad situation, after hearing that the emperor had to know, I did not know what to think, and only left a few of my subjects at the palace.

When Mu Rousang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Yang Zixuan had already said that the Emperor was in trouble, and the actions of the crown prince had most likely angered him.

"And the result?"

"At that time, the Emperor coughed out a mouthful of blood and fainted. At that time, his face was like golden paper, and he breathed in and out a lot less!" When Yang Zixuan thought about the danger of that time, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Ah, that …"

"Heh, I've never seen Imperial Concubine Xian. When she first entered the palace, she was nothing more than an elegant lady. To climb to that position shows just how great her wrist is. The emperor is her amulet. How can he go so easily?"

Yang Zixuan immediately understood after hearing what Yang Zixuan said. It seemed like the emperor had wandered around the gates of hell for a while and also called the imperial concubine back.

"Although the emperor has awoken, it seems like time is running out!"

Indeed, just as Yang Zixuan had said, on the twenty-third of December, rumors spread all over the capital. There were rumors that the Emperor had recruited the Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, and several other officials to annul the position of Crown Prince on the spot. Following that, there were rumors that some upright officials had crashed their way into the throne room to die.

On the night of the 23rd, not a single one of the officials recruited by the Emperor returned home. Thus, there were rumours in the capital that the crippled crown prince had placed the ministers and imperial concubines under house arrest, and even more soldiers and horses were patrolling the capital.

On the 24th of December, the palace fired its cannon at the sky, ringing the death knell to announce that the Emperor had passed away.

At the same time, it was hard to find people in the capital who would not stick their heads out of their houses and put themselves in danger!

The 24th of December was originally the day of the seal. On this day, all the officials of the capital fell into chaos as they kneeled before the Xuanwu Sect in mourning.

This year's New Year was spent amidst the weeping spirits, and not a single family had a New Year atmosphere. They were all completely white.

Since the death of the emperor, the vassal lords from all over the country had rushed to the capital to cry. The chaos that had plagued them for so long had died down, leaving everyone in mourning.

As Mu Rousang was the Madam Yuan Ming, she had to kneel in front of Xuan Wu Sect and mourn as well with the other Madam Yuan. However, many people were screaming and discussing privately, saying that the Emperor had caused the death of many rumors and that the Crown Prince had acted unjustly and usurped the throne, and that it was the Crown Prince who had caused the death of the current Emperor.

When it was New Year's Eve, Mu Rousang changed into a set of clothes and followed Yang Zixuan to the Martial Proclamation Gate to cry. On the carriage, Yang Zixuan suddenly said to her: "You must stay by Grandmother's side in a while!"

"Why?" Mu Rousang asked him curiously.

Yang Zixuan was actually frowning deeply as he lowered his head in deep contemplation, unaware of her question.

"Husband?" Mu Rousang asked again.

Yang Zixuan lifted the curtain and looked outside. It was still dark outside and the sky was bright due to the snow. All the carriages in the capital that could go anywhere were all official's houses who wore plain linen and went to the palace to cry.

"You have always been an intelligent person, I'm sure you know the rumors in your heart, but today, several vassal lords have come to cry, afraid of many changes. Grandmother is the official of the country, and the late emperor has given her a reward, of course, you won't be so stupid as to offend her, so …"

The reason why Yang Zixuan didn't mention Princess Huaiqing and Princess Jing'an was because they couldn't heal themselves.

Princess Jing'an had been sick ever since the day the current Emperor passed away, and until now, he was still in a daze. While crying, he still wanted to dress up his own mother, but he had lost a lot of weight, and because he could not eat meat nor meat, he was unable to use spatial water s to make soup. Mu Rousang could only use the flour in her space to make some vegetarian food to give to her, but it was still better than nothing.

"Understood, husband, you …" Be careful in all things. Your wife, I, am not made out of paper! "

Yang Zixuan reached out to pinch her nose and smiled, "I got it, my wife will get a share of the sea once she goes up the mountain. If you grow vegetables, you can feed the chickens! "

"Hmph, what's wrong with that? We'll live our lives like this!" Mu Rousang knew that he was just teasing her. Wasn't it just making the palace in the Eastern Gui Garden self-sufficient?

"Alright, since my wife is so hardworking for my family, I should work hard to earn a title and reward for my wife!"

Yang Zixuan did not just talk on the surface, he had also tied up Su Ruirui's boat a long time ago. Mu Rousang was dressed in luxurious clothes and did not forget about the basics, but it also made him heave a sigh of relief, because even if he did not take out his armor, he would still be a rich man.

Mu Rousang didn't know that he and Mu Jinzhi had long ago become together, like grasshoppers on a string of grass.

"What do you mean by title? If you are safe, then I will be at ease!"

Yang Zixuan's heart softened as he held her in his arms and patted her lightly without saying a word.

"Young Master, Young Mistress, we have arrived in front of the Xuanwu Sect!" The coachman reported from outside.

Xia Yu and the rest had long gotten off the horse carriages at the back of the carriage, and carried Wu Shuang and placed him on the ground, then invited Mu Rousang and Yang Zixuan to get off the horse carriages.

"Alright, hurry and go to grandmother's place, I'm going in from the other side too!"

Yang Zixuan supported her off the carriage, patting her arm lightly.
