Several people suddenly realized, and Wen Rulan said: "Then I'm afraid that once the Prince Qi's Mansion collapses, His Majesty will be in danger immediately."

Xiao Mubei pondered for a while and asked, "But we can think of these things, but the King of Qi and His Majesty really can't think of them?"

Zhao was shocked and murmured, "Could it be that there is something else going on?"

Wu Lingqi nodded, "Mother, let's go check out the real situation. I'm sorry to ask you to stay here for a while. I will find out the truth as soon as possible and clear my father's name. Then I will come to take you home."

Zhao knew that with Xiao Mubei helping Wu Lingqi, they would be able to quickly figure out the whole story. If she went out now, it would only cause trouble for them. Only when she was safe, Wu Lingqi could have no worries and save the King of Qi wholeheartedly.

So she held Wu Lingqi's hand and said, "Okay, be careful."

Then she said to Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan, "I am sorry to bother you, Prince and Master Wen this time. On behalf of the Qi Palace, I would like to thank you all for your help. If there is any need for us in the future, the Qi Palace will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Xiao Mubei hurriedly said, "Princess, you are too polite. We will do our best to rescue the King of Qi. Just stay here and wait for our news."

"it is good."

After leaving Aunt Hua's house, Wen Rulan and Xiao Mubei brought Wu Lingqi back to the inn safely. Chu Yunxi and Wan Ruwei had not slept yet and were anxiously waiting for them. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they returned safely. Chu Yunxi poured each of them a cup of tea and asked, "How was it? Did you see Princess Qi?"

Xiao Mubei drank a cup of tea and said, "Yes, Princess Qi is safe now. She told us the reason for the accident in Prince Qi's mansion."

So Xiao Mubei told Chu Yunxi what the Princess of Qi said, and then said, "We are thinking that even if we can think of it, His Majesty can think of it. This matter may not be as simple as it seems. There may be some unknown inside stories. Now, we still have to find a way to meet the King of Qi to know what to do next."

"Do you know where the King of Qi is imprisoned?" Chu Yunxi asked.

Wu Lingqi said: "I don't know yet, but to detain so many ministers and people from the Prince Qi's Palace, I infer that it is more likely that they are in the Imperial Palace Prison. After all, this is a serious crime of treason."

"The Imperial Prison?" Chu Yunxi frowned. "Is it inside the Imperial Palace?"

"Yes, it's in the palace. If you want to see my father, you have to find a way to enter the palace first." Wu Lingqi looked worried. "But my current identity is not useful. I can't enter the palace. What should I do?"

"Enter the palace..." Chu Yunxi paced in the room. After walking around twice, she stopped. "Perhaps, we can enter the palace in the simplest way."

"The simplest way?" Everyone looked at Chu Yunxi in confusion. She curled her lips and smiled, then slowly said, "Show your identity."

On the second day, a message was received from the envoy of Dasui at the gate of Kara City, saying that Princess Dingbei of Dasui was only ten miles away from Kara City. This time, Princess Dingbei came from afar to fulfill her agreement with the Queen Mother and visit her. She ordered people to report to the palace as soon as possible and prepare to welcome her.

The guards at the city gate did not dare to delay and immediately passed the news to the palace. Around noon, Princess Dingbei's carriage appeared in Kara City and headed straight for the palace.

In the palace, the queen mother had already sent out female officials to welcome the princess. The princess, along with her maids and guards, entered the Nandi Palace in a grand procession and went directly to Derong Palace.

In Derong Palace, Empress Dowager Rong and Emperor Wu Zixu were already waiting there. Wu Zixu had heard that Chu Yunxi had arrived and came to greet her specially. Chu Yunxi asked the maids and guards to wait outside and went in alone to meet the Empress Dowager and the little emperor.

When the Queen Mother saw Chu Yunxi enter the palace, she immediately got down from the phoenix chair to greet her, stopped her from bowing, and said, "Child, why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could prepare some things."

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Isn't this to give you, the Queen Mother, a surprise? Unless you think this is not a surprise, but a shock."

The Queen Mother also laughed, "You are such a talkative kid, come and sit down."

After they were all seated, Wu Zixu said, "Princess, you came so suddenly that my mother and I didn't have time to prepare anything. Just have a simple lunch. I will prepare a banquet for you in the evening. By the way, didn't the prince come?"

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Your Highness still has some things to deal with, so he will come later."

"I see. You and the prince have solved many major cases in Dasui. Your reputation has spread to my Nandi. Dasui is fortunate to have you two." Wu Zixu praised the two of them generously.

Chu Yunxi kept smiling, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. You have a good way of governing the country. Nandi's recent economic prosperity and peace and prosperity are well-known. Moreover, Your Majesty, you came to Derong Palace to see me today. Yunxi is really flattered."

Queen Mother Rong smiled and said, "Have you two complimented each other enough? My son, you are busy with government affairs. Now that you have met Yunxi, you should go back to work. Yunxi and I have something to talk about in private."

Wu Zixu laughed loudly and said, "Mother, you are really partial to one and neglect the other. As soon as Princess Dingbei came, you immediately disliked my son for being in the way."

Chu Yunxi covered her mouth and laughed secretly, listening to Wu Zixu say: "Okay, you guys chat, I do have important things to deal with, I will hold a family dinner in Chuyun Palace tonight, and the Queen Mother and the Princess will go there together."

Chu Yunxi stood up and saluted, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

After Wu Zixu left, Queen Mother Rong immediately patted the seat next to her and said, "Yunxi, come and sit here."

Chu Yunxi was not polite either. She walked forward and sat down next to Empress Dowager Rong. She took Empress Dowager Rong's hand and felt her pulse. She smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, let me see if you have been obedient and taken medicine obediently during this period."

"Of course she's good. How dare she disobey Yunxi's words? Look at my hair, hasn't it turned black?" Queen Mother Rong pointed at her hair and said proudly.

As soon as Chu Yunxi came in, she discovered that when she left last time, Empress Dowager Rong's hair had turned a lot grayer, but this time it had grown back. It seemed that she had indeed taken good care of her body in the past six months.

There was nothing wrong with the pulse, so Chu Yunxi let go and smiled, "It's really good. I brought a lot of qi-replenishing and blood-nourishing medicine for the Queen Mother this time. You must take it on time."

Queen Mother Rong held her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. You've been gone for half a year, and I've missed you so much. I've been looking forward to you coming to stay for a few days so I can have a good talk with you. This time, you have to stay longer."
