Ye Zifen said, "With your resounding promise, I feel much more at ease. However, from now on, we must be more cautious than ever before when we act. We must not reveal any flaws, lest those sinister and cunning people take advantage of us."

After listening to what Ye Zifen said, the eldest prince nodded vigorously, indicating that he fully understood the interests involved.

The eldest prince left.

Zhang Gaoyi lowered his voice slightly and asked, "Princess, I wonder what the news from the capital is about? Will it have a serious impact on our carefully planned action plan?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen frowned slightly and began to fall into a brief but deep thought.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes and answered thoughtfully: "Based on the current situation, although this news has indeed brought some trouble and distress, fortunately everything is still under control. However, every step we take next must be foolproof and cautious. If we are not careful, we may lose all our efforts..."

Zhang Gaoyi stared at Ye Zifen intently, his eyes revealing an extremely determined look.

He clenched his fists and said firmly, "Relax! No matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter, I will do my best to support you to the end. As long as we can work together and stick together, we will be able to successfully overcome the crisis!"

Zhang Gaoyi turned and left, his figure gradually moving farther and farther away until he disappeared from sight.

Just now, Ye Zifen mustered up the courage to tell the eldest prince the truth, which was also a kind of explanation. This was also in the hope of resolving any possible misunderstandings.

Through the eldest prince's mouth, their difficulties were conveyed to the emperor's ears.

At this time, Ye Zifen felt a little calmer.

She knew very well that the situation she and Zhang Gaoyi were currently in was extremely sensitive and delicate.

If you are not careful, you will fall into an irretrievable situation.

Fortunately, the words they said to the eldest prince just now might give them a glimmer of hope and allow them to temporarily gain some breathing space.

Ye Zifen is not particularly worried about her own safety now.

After all, the retired emperor is still alive. Even if the emperor has a grudge against her, is dissatisfied with her, or even wants to kill her, before taking action, the emperor must carefully consider the retired emperor's position and attitude.

In this sudden storm, several princes did not sit idly by and wait for death, but resolutely chose to rise up and resist.

They try to turn the tide and change the current unfavorable situation by their own strength.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Despite their best efforts, they were ultimately unable to escape fate and died in the rebellion.

After learning the sad news, the emperor was heartbroken. His face was filled with sadness and misery, which was heartbreaking.

But looking at the emperor, there was not a trace of sadness on his face.

On the contrary, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth and the relaxed expression that he inadvertently revealed all revealed his true state of mind at the moment.

There is no doubt that the emperor must have been completely relieved, because from now on, no one could pose any substantial threat to him.

The forces that once stood against him have disappeared.

In the days to come, his power will be concentrated and no one can stop his will.

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a letter from afar was delivered to Ye Zifen, and the person who delivered the letter was entrusted by Shangguan Ying.

When Ye Zifen took the letter, her hands trembled involuntarily, as if she could feel the heavy message contained in the envelope.

She couldn't wait to cast her eyes on the letter and scanned the words on it eagerly.

However, as she read more, every word hit her heart like a huge rock, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Her face gradually turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless; her lips trembled slightly uncontrollably, as if she wanted to say something but no sound came out.

When Ye Zifen finally finished reading the letter, she stood there in a daze as if she had been struck by lightning.

It turned out that the content of the letter was the bad news about the health of the retired emperor - the retired emperor's health was deteriorating and the situation was extremely critical.

This news hit Ye Zifen's heart like a heavy hammer, and her previous vague worries instantly turned into cruel reality.

At this moment, Ye Zifen's mind began to flash back to every detail of her past interactions with the retired emperor.

The image of the high and mighty emperor, who was also a kind and loving elder, appeared clearly before her eyes.

Especially when she thought about how the emperor was devastated by the loss of several children, which eventually led to his health problems, Ye Zifen felt an indescribable grief in her heart.

All those scenes of being protected and favored by the retired emperor in the past have now turned into endless sorrow and memories.

Ye Zifen bit her lips tightly, trying to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, but she couldn't help but burst into tears.

She frowned, full of worry and helplessness.

In the room, Ye Zifen paced back and forth anxiously like an ant on a hot pan.

Although she was extremely anxious, she knew clearly that she was just a drop in the ocean in that huge and complex palace, and seemed so insignificant and powerless.

Faced with this sudden change, she felt unprecedented helplessness and confusion.

After a careful diagnosis and calculation, Master Shangguan said to everyone with a serious expression: "Based on the current physical condition of the emperor, I'm afraid he can only hold on for about half a year at most..."

Upon hearing the news, everyone present was shocked, and Ye Zifen sighed deeply.

At this moment, he was standing quietly on the grassland, the breeze blowing past, gently lifting the corners of his clothes.

Since coming to this vast grassland, Ye Zifen has devoted all her energy to local development affairs.

Being busy with various tasks every day made his originally narrow mind gradually become open.

He gazed at the endless and vast grassland in the distance, and his mind involuntarily emerged with all the open and secret struggles and intrigues he had experienced in the court in the past.

And the daily fear.
