The Imperial Guards were certain that their whereabouts were not leaked, and did not tell the people of the Prince Yanbei's Mansion that they had gone to fetch Prince Yanbei and her wife back to the capital.

On the way, since they had rushed to Prince Yanbei's Mansion's residence, they had already made their people watch every single person in the residence closely. It was impossible for the people in the residence to have the chance to spread the news to the capital.

This matter... He must report this to the emperor.

"Alright, I believe all of you." The emperor had been stabbed twice by Li Yuan, and the sword at his chest, but because a eunuch blocked it, it wasn't very deep.

The one that truly harmed the Emperor was that sword strike on his abdomen. The loss of blood caused the Emperor's face to turn deathly pale, and he lacked energy.

The Emperor did not blame the little commander. Waving his hand to dismiss the little commander, his pale face flashed with rage. "Xiao Jiu'an, are you trying to intimidate us?"

The sudden arrival of New Year's Eve, the might of the banquet, and even when Li Yuan tried to assassinate him, she had made a move to fight for the chance for Li Yuan.

Xiao Jiu'an, do you really think that he, the emperor, is just a decoration?

"Someone, come." The Emperor closed his eyes and called upon the royal family's spies: "Keep a close eye on Prince Yanbei's Mansion, keep a close eye on the Yanbei army stationed outside the city."

Although there was no evidence, all the signs were enough for the emperor to conclude that the person who helped Li Yuan and the Demon Sect's Sect Leader escape on New Year's Eve was definitely Xiao Jiu'an.

He hated him for being injured and unconscious, with no one to take charge of the situation, if not Xiao Jiu'an would not have easily run away.

"Yes." The imperial spies quietly retreated, not a single sound could be heard.

After tormenting himself for a while, the emperor was tired as well. He didn't return to his room, but instead leaned on the short rod and closed his eyes to rest …

At this time, Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai, who were in a rush but missed their meal, finally arrived at the Ji Palace.

Lord Ji and Madam Ji led Ji Ning to welcome them personally outside the door, despite the cold wind. There was no helping it; although Xiao Jiu'an was the son-in-law of their Ji Family, he was a first rank prince.

"Your Highness, Princess … "You're finally here." Master Ji had a smile on his face as he looked at Ji Yunkai happily.

The moment he saw the smile on Lord Ji's face, Ji Yunkai crumbled.

Her father was really becoming more and more skilled in acting. If it wasn't for her clearly knowing how vile her father was and how much he hated her, she would have definitely been deceived by him. She thought that he was truly a good father who loved his father dearly and was awaiting his daughter's return.

"Lord Ji." Xiao Jiu'an's face was filled with arrogance, her entire body releasing a low pressure. After getting off the horse carriage, she did not even look at them, but nodded at Master Ji, not even looking at Madam Ji and Ji Ning, signalling Ji Yunkai to follow him, and headed towards the Ji Mansion, not taking him as an outsider at all.

Ji Yunkai had never been fond of Madam Ji and Xiao Jiu'an had never taken his seriously. Naturally, she would not tear down Xiao Jiu'an's platform and, together with him, they walked into the Ji Palace from the main text.

This was the second time Ji Yunkai had walked through the main entrance of Ji Family. The first time was to get married to Xiao Jiu'an.

This time, she was returning, and Xiao Jiu'an accompanied her back. If one thought about it carefully, it was still quite interesting.

After Xiao Jiu'an stepped into the Ji Palace, she had completely dominated the room, causing Master Ji, who was standing at the side, to look like a waiter leading the way.

Stepping into the main hall, Xiao Jiu'an didn't even bother to be polite as she sat down at the seat of honor, she was even more like a master than the master, Lord Ji.

Ji Yunkai lowered her eyes, covered the smile in her eyes, and sat down.

Lord Ji walked in a step too late. When he saw Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai who were already sitting down, the corners of his mouth slightly twitched.

Perhaps due to the low pressure released by Xiao Jiu'an on their way here, Lord Ji, Madam Ji, and Ji Ning's movements in the main hall were a bit careful, as though they were the wives who had been bullied.

Indeed, evil people had their own evil demons.

Looking at Master Ji and Madam Ji, who both had submissive expressions, Ji Yunkai couldn't help but shake his head.

The two of them did not take her seriously. Even though she had already become a Prince Yanbei's Wife, they were still pointing their fingers at her. It must be because she treated them too well.

Maybe she should learn from Xiao Jiu'an.

Lord Ji didn't dare to sit in the seat of honor. He sat on the other side of the table and carefully said, "Your Highness, I presume you have yet to eat since you have come all the way here. Shall we eat first?"

In order to wait for Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai to return, the entire Ji Family still hadn't had lunch. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't hungry.

"No need." Xiao Jiu'an rejected him coldly and raised his hand. "This king and his wife have come to give you new year's gifts in accordance to the rules."

On the other hand, if not for this rule, he and Ji Yunkai would never have come.

With just a family like the Ji Family, if it wasn't for Ji Yunkai marrying him, he would never be able to set foot in this world.

"Your Highness, this... It's a rule for newlyweds to eat at their families. " Since you know of this rule, why didn't you come earlier?

"Rules? It's already past dinner time, what are the rules of your Ji Family? Who was Xiao Jiu'an to even dare to choke on the emperor, and Lord Ji actually dared to negotiate rules with him.

If Xiao Jiu'an was willing to teach them the rules, then the rules would be useful; if she was unwilling, then the rules would be useless paper.

"The prince is only arriving at this time, so we can only push back the lunch." Facing the continuously releasing the low pressure from Xiao Jiu'an, it would be a lie to say that she was not afraid, but …

Senior Ji knew that the Prince Yanbei cared a lot about Ji Yunkai. From his performance on New Year's Eve, Senior Ji already knew that the Prince Yanbei had feelings for Ji Yunkai.

In this kind of situation, his father was a little overboard, so the Prince Yanbei wouldn't do anything to him out of respect for Ji Yunkai.

This was also the reason why the Emperor pushed him out and allowed him to take action against the Prince Yanbei.

To others, the Prince Yanbei will not show mercy, to him …

But Prince Yanbei would not kill him.
