That night, Princess Anyun set fire to the Ministry of Justice and Prince An's Mansion, and led people to break into the prison to rescue the Prime Minister but failed and was arrested instead. The incident caused a sensation in the capital.

Because the case involved the eldest princess of the royal family, Pei Wangjie went to the palace to meet the emperor early the next morning after the fire in the Ministry of Justice was put out.

The prisoners in the Ministry of Justice prison were temporarily placed in the Zuowei Mansion prison and were guarded by people sent by Ling Mohan.

The emperor was in a coma and was forced to sleep for a night, and his spirits improved a little.

Unexpectedly, Pei Wangjie entered the palace and reported Princess Anyun's prison break.

The emperor forced himself to sit up, asking, "How did Princess Anyun get involved?"

Pei Wangjie knelt before the emperor's bed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Princess Anyun and the Prime Minister have long been connected. Last night, Princess Anyun had people attack the palace and set fire to the Ministry of Justice and Prince An's Mansion. A total of more than 2,000 people were involved, and several powerful families in the capital were also implicated.

"More than 300 of Princess Anyun's men were captured. Princess Anyun even personally led the charge into the Ministry of Justice's prison, where they were eventually captured by Lord Si Yan."

"Is this true?" The emperor's face was full of disbelief. How could Princess Anyun be so bold?

Did she know that this was a rebellion and yet she ordered people to attack the palace?

Is she crazy?

The emperor knew that Princess Anyun liked Xin Rui when she was young, but since she got married, more than 20 years have passed and she has had no contact with Xin Rui.

He really didn't expect that Princess Anyun would bring people to break into the prison?

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true."

Pei Wangjie spoke calmly, "The guards of the Ministry of Justice saw it with their own eyes. The guards of Shangjing City and the guards of Zuowei Mansion were also present. Princess Anyun's men have confessed. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can interrogate Princess Anyun in person."

Pei Wangjie had just finished speaking when a eunuch came in to report, "Your Majesty, Prince An requests an audience."

"Let him in." said the emperor in a deep voice.

Prince An Qi Guang'an walked into the hall covered in dust. His dark green brocade robe was covered in black ash, and a corner of the robe was burnt.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face looked tired, and his hair was missing clumps, looking as if it had been burned.

"What's wrong with you?" The emperor had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Royal brother, Princess Anyun had my residence burned down!"

Prince An said with great sorrow, "My collection of many years has been destroyed in an instant. I had people rescue it all night long and finally put out the fire, but all my treasures are gone, and more than ten of my servants were burned to death."

The emperor was originally wondering whether Si Yan and Prince Yong were using the Xin Rui incident to implicate Princess Anyun.

Now that Lao Wu has come to my house, this matter must be true.

"Bring Princess Anyun to the palace." The emperor felt a dull pain in his chest.

Such a big thing happened yesterday, and he hasn't recovered yet, and today there's the Princess Anyun incident.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then instructed the eunuch, "Xuan Siyan and Prince Yong should also enter the palace."

Princess Anyun entered the palace with Si Yan and Prince Yong.

Princess Anyun had iron shackles on her hands, her hair was messy, and her face was black. She had long lost her former elegance and grace.

She fiercely shook off the guards on both sides and limped into the hall.

She didn't even bow when she saw the emperor, but pointed at Si Yan and started yelling in the hall.

"Royal brother! That witch Si Yan is simply lawless. She cut my leg. Royal brother, you must punish Si Yan and vent my anger for me."

She and her royal brother were born from the same mother!

She is his biological sister, so she doesn't believe that he would help outsiders punish her?

Si Yan stepped forward and spoke calmly, "Your Majesty, during the chaos last night, while trying to stop Princess Anyun from breaking out of the prison, I accidentally injured her leg."

Princess Anyun screamed, "Royal brother, she didn't do it accidentally at all, she did it on purpose."

Si Yan said nothing and stood aside with a cold expression.

The emperor sighed secretly and looked at Princess Anyun with a gloomy look: "Are you really planning to break into the prison?"

"I..." Princess Anyun was choked. She was too impulsive yesterday, but she was also desperate.

Princess Anyun argued, "Brother, I just wanted to see the Prime Minister yesterday, but Pei Wangjie tried to stop me several times..."

"I'm asking you if you're trying to rob a prison?" the emperor asked sternly.

"Yes, I broke out of prison." Princess Anyun was like a madman, shaking her head and threateningly threatening. "The Prime Minister was wrongly accused. He was loyal to Daxuan and could never have colluded with the enemy. He simply wanted to support Prince Xin, so how could that be considered treason? Brother, you actually want to execute him. Isn't that chilling to the hearts of the people of the world?"

Prince An Qi Guang'an said coldly, "Xin Rui is guilty of treason and collaborating with the enemy. The evidence is irrefutable. If he is not executed, the people of the world will be disheartened. You have disregarded the law and committed arson and prison robbery, which is also a heinous crime."

"What kind of bullshit evidence is this? It was fabricated by Si Zhengxuan and his daughter!"

Princess Anyun knelt forward, looking at the emperor with tears in her eyes, "Royal brother, if you kill Xin Rui, Si Zhengxuan and his daughter will control the government. The kingdom of Daxuan will belong to the Si family in the future."

"Shut up!" the emperor shouted, shaking with rage. "You, the dignified Princess Daxuan, actually did something like a prison break. You've brought disgrace upon my royal family."

"Brother, are you crazy?"

Princess Anyun laughed heartily, "It's fine if you didn't help me, but you also believed what Si Yan and his daughter said? If you had been willing to meet me yesterday, I wouldn't have run to the prison break."

Princess Anyun didn't know that her royal brother hadn't woken up the whole night because of a heart attack caused by his anger and blood.

Princess Anyun only has Xin Rui in her eyes, and she is like a madman for Xin Rui.

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Even if I don't see you, you won't try to break out of the prison..."

"As for that!" Princess Anyun roared, "Xin Rui is the one I love the most. I have always wanted to marry him. It was because of you that I married Cai Yan...

"Have you forgotten? Cai Yan was the Grand Marshal at that time, holding great power. Now that Cai Yan has been sidelined by you and has no further use, do you no longer want me, your sister?"

The emperor's lips trembled, and after a long while he finally uttered a word: "So, you and Xin Rui really have an unclear relationship?"

Princess Anyun's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "An unclear relationship? My Royal Brother, you're right. Not only do I have an unclear relationship with him, I also gave birth to a son for him. Xin Rong, Xin Rui's favorite youngest son, was born to him by me."

"You bullshit!"

The emperor pressed his chest and felt dizzy and his head was swollen. He was almost angry to death.

"I'm not talking nonsense." Princess Anyun said sternly, "I gave birth to his son and asked him to take him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that he was born from his concubine. Hahahaha..."

The air pressure in the hall dropped to its lowest point, and Princess Anyun's crazy laughter echoed in everyone's ears.

The emperor's face turned pale as he gave a solemn order to the imperial guards: "The princess has gone mad! Take her away."

"I'm not crazy, Royal Brother, Royal Brother..." Princess Anyun struggled, "Don't be fooled by Si Yan and his daughter. Don't hand over the Daxuan Qi family's kingdom to others!"

Several palace guards rushed forward and dragged Princess Anyun away.

The emperor sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, looking like an idiot.
