Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Madam Yu, where is my second brother?”

Madam Yu’s blood seemed to have frozen. She did not expect Xuanyuan Qiyi to ask where Xuanyuan Ce was.

But how was that possible?

Even if the emperor had heard her conversation with Jiang Tao outside, he shouldn’t have asked this!

Unless.

He had long known that the one lying in the mourning hall was fake.

As soon as this thought appeared, Madam Yu’s mind went blank.

Because she was too shocked, she even forgot to hide it.

“Madam Yu, where is my second brother?” Xuanyuan Qi asked again, his tone even colder than before.

Madam Yu tightened her grip. “What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Isn’t His Highness lying in the mourning hall?”

At this moment, an imperial guard walked in and whispered something in Eunuch Wu’s ear.

Xuanyuan Qi looked over. Eunuch Wu shook his head.

Xuanyuan Qi’s eyes turned cold as he said coldly, “Take her away.”

The imperial guards were about to go over and capture her. Xuanyuan Ye finally came back to her senses from the fear that she was not her father’s daughter but a traitor.

She rushed in front of Madam Yu and grabbed her hand tightly, as if she had grabbed a straw to clutch at. “It’s fake, right? I’m Father’s daughter, right? Everything is fake, right?”

She looked at Madam Yu hopefully, wanting to hear her say, “Of course you’re your father’s daughter, the most respected princess of our Xuanyuan

Kingdom.”

But she didn’t.

Madam Yu even lowered her eyes, not daring to look at her.

Xuanyuan Ye tightened her grip and dug her nails into Madam Yu’s arm. “Tell me, quickly tell the emperor that I’m Father’s daughter. Hurry up and explain.” Madam Yu looked at her apologetically, her eyes gradually filled with tears. Xuanyuan Ye loosened her grip bit by bit, and coldness rose in her heart.

She staggered and slumped to the ground. Shock, fear, uneasiness, and other emotions were like a dense net, making her unable to breathe.

“Ye’er…” Madam Yu reached out to pull her back.

Xuanyuan Ye retreated like a frightened bird and roared in despair, “Don’t touch me!”

She was a child born out of adultery.

How could she be such a lowly and disgusting thing?

That b*tch should be the lowly one.

She was her father’s daughter, the princess of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

How did this happen?

There must be a mistake somewhere.

Xuanyuan Ye shook her head repeatedly and met a familiar pair of eyes.

She Imew this person!

When she was young, every time she went to the Yu family, this person would get the servants to bring her her favorite food.

When she was sad because she could not see her father, this person would secretly comfort her and bring her out to play behind her mother’s back.

Xuanyuan Ye felt disgusted by the person she used to feel close to.

It was so disgusting that she wanted him to disappear, along with her unbearable background.

A fierce expression suddenly appeared on Xuanyuan Ye’s face. She suddenly grabbed the scissors by her feet and stabbed at Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao’s eyes widened as he stared blankly at the tip of the knife that was rapidly enlarging in his pupils.

A sense of sadness welled up in him.

The person he had been thinking about wanted to kill him.

His daughter wanted to kill him too.

And he had caused the Jiang family to be wiped out for these two women.

How ridiculous.

Everything happened too quickly. Madam Yu exclaimed, “Ye’er!”

She could kill Jiang Tao, but her daughter could not.

Ye’er did not know anything. The emperor and the empress dowager had doted on her so much in the past. Perhaps they would not take their anger out on her for what she had done.

However, this pair of scissors was equivalent to killing her father. She did not dare to think about it.

In the blink of an eye, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door and grabbed Xuanyuan Ye’s hand before the scissors pierced Jiang Tao’s throat.

Everyone was stunned.

The Demon Guards, who had reacted and were about to attack, silently retracted their hands.

Shen Yijia snatched the scissors from Xuanyuan Ye’s hand and glanced at the disheartened Jiang Tao. “This person can’t die now.”

Because Song Jingchen always told her that evidence was important in everything, Shen Yijia naturally thought that she had to keep Jiang Tao alive as a witness.

He did not expect that Xuanyuan Qi, the emperor, had already heard everything he needed to hear. There was no need for evidence.

The pain in her wrist woke Xuanyuan Ye up completely. Thinking of what she had just done, her face turned pale and she subconsciously looked up at

Xuanyuan Qi.

As expected, she saw disappointment in his eyes.

“Imperial Uncle…”

Xuanyuan Qi retracted his complicated gaze and instructed in a low voice,

“Take them all away.”

All of them, including Xuanyuan Ye.

Xuanyuan Ye panicked and crawled towards Xuanyuan Qi on all fours. “Imperial Uncle, Ye’er…”

The imperial guards paused for a moment. They received Eunuch Wu’s hint and quickly brought the Yu family of three away.

“Why are you here?” Xuanyuan Qi looked at Shen Yijia and asked.

Shen Yijia was speechless.

She could say that it was because the old woman had changed her usual behavior and asked someone to send her things every day. She had nothing to do.

Song Jingchen sent her another message saying that the scumbag might still be alive. Xuanyuan Qi was also investigating.

Therefore, she instigated You Yi to keep an eye on Xuanyuan Qi. She wanted to know the clues he had obtained immediately. Could she say that she saw him hurriedly leave the palace with his men and secretly followed him?

It seemed that it was quite serious to spy on the Emperor’s whereabouts.

“I asked her to come.” Song Jingchen walked out of the inner room.

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up and she ran up to him. “Hubby, you’re here too.” Her words exposed the excuse Song Jingchen had found for her.

Song Jingchen was speechless.

Xuanyuan Qi was speechless.

He naturally knew why Song Jingchen was here. He got someone to investigate the border and found out that Jiang Tao had disappeared for no reason. The people watching Song Jingchen sent back news that Jiang Tao was in Song Jingchen’s hands.

In other words, if Shen Yijia followed Xuanyuan Qi here, then Xuanyuan Qi followed Song Jingchen here.

Shen Yijia realized that she had said something wrong and quickly added, “I meant that you were hiding inside.”

Song Jingchen coughed lightly and cupped his hands. “Your Majesty heard it just now. Jiajia isn’t the murderer.”

Therefore, she did not have to continue staying in the palace.

Xuanyuan Qi was about to say something when an imperial guard walked in. “Your Majesty, we’ve searched everywhere in the residence, but we didn’t find any secret rooms.”

“There’s one more place you haven’t found,” Song Jingchen said.

Xuanyuan Qi’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly looked in the direction of the inner room.

Song Jingchen and Xuanyuan Qi thought that Madam Yu would hide the real Xuanyuan Ce in some secret room, but they didn’t expect her to be so crazy as to hide him in her room.

To be precise, it was under her bed.

She got someone to hollow out the underside of the bed and make a huge secret compartment inside. Across a wooden board, Xuanyuan Ce was only wearing his undergarments. His eyes were closed, and it was unknown if he was dead or alive.

“Second Brother.” Xuanyuan Qi’s body swayed.

Eunuch Wu quickly went forward to check. After a while, he heaved a sigh of relief and said happily, “Your Majesty, His Highness is still alive.”

Although his aura was weak, it was better than death.

Shen Yijia wanted to step forward, but Song Jingchen could tell what she was planning. He grabbed her and said in a low voice, “Wait..”
