Yun Muheng's brows were tightly furrowed, veins bulged on his forehead, and a surge of anger reached the sky. He roared like a bell: "I am here, I want to see who dares to act rashly!" This roar seemed to be able to shatter the eardrums of the people around him, and everyone present was shocked by his momentum.

Then, his piercing eyes darted directly at the Empress Dowager, their glare piercing her bones, like frost and snow in the cold of winter. He demanded mercilessly, "Grandmother, I simply wish to seek the truth. Why are you so obstructive, even refusing to allow Eunuch Gao to take the Truth Pill? Could it be that you are truly connected to this matter?"

The Queen Mother's heart was startled when she heard this, and her eyes unconsciously avoided Yun Muheng's aggressive gaze. But she quickly regained her composure and forced herself to appear calm. However, her slightly trembling hands betrayed her true feelings.

The Queen Mother glared at Yun Muheng in anger and shouted, "How dare you! Those two children are of genuine royal blood and my great-grandchildren. How could I possibly send someone to kill them? This is sheer nonsense!"

After hearing this, Yun Muheng lowered his head slightly, and his tone became a little softer. He said, "Grandma, please calm down. My grandson's words just now were inappropriate and offended you. Please punish me severely." Although he said the words of apology, his eyes were still full of doubts and inquiries.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother sighed helplessly and said slowly, "Forget it, since you are so determined to get an explanation from me, then I will satisfy you. I can't let you harbor any resentment towards me because of such a small matter."

After saying this, the Queen Mother's face darkened, then instantly regained her former dignity. She shouted, "Come here! Drag this audacious, reckless eunuch Gao away and immediately beat him to death with a stick! This evil slave dared to attempt to murder the royal heir. This is truly a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven by Heaven!"

After hearing this, Eunuch Gao froze in place as if struck by lightning. His eyes were wide open with extreme fear, his body was shaking uncontrollably, and even his lips turned pale.

After a long while, until someone came forward and escorted him out, Eunuch Gao finally came to his senses. He suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed desperately, and cried out at the top of his lungs: "Empress Dowager, save my life! Please have mercy on me. For all the years I have served you wholeheartedly, please spare my worthless life! Your Highness, Your Highness, please have mercy on me..."

However, no matter how hard Eunuch Gao begged, his voice became smaller and smaller, and eventually faded away until it completely disappeared from everyone's ears.

At this moment, Yun Muheng glanced coldly at the kidnapper who was still kneeling on the ground with an expressionless face, then turned to Chen Yu beside him and ordered: "Take this man away and punish him severely according to the law." After that, he didn't look at the kidnapper again.

The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the high throne, frowned slightly, raised her hand and gently rubbed her forehead, as if she was upset by what had just happened.

She waved her hand slightly wearily and said, "Okay, this matter is finally resolved. You all can leave. I feel a little tired."

Upon hearing this, Yun Muheng and Ye Chuxue hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, saying in unison, "Grandsons (granddaughters-in-law) thank the Empress Dowager for her justice."

Yun Muheng then added: "Since the Royal Grandmother is feeling tired, then your grandson will take his leave first and will not disturb your rest anymore." As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Muheng stood up, reached out to help Ye Chuxue beside him, and the two of them slowly turned around and walked out of the hall.

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, a fierce look on her face: Ye Chuxue is not simple! I have been repeatedly defeated by her, first by Madam Gui, now by Eunuch Gao, will it be me next time? Do you really think I am a vegetarian?

Yun Muheng walked out, looked at Ye Chuxue with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Xue'er, don't worry, I will protect you and your son from now on. I will never let you suffer any injustice! So, give me a chance, okay? Let's get to know each other again and understand each other."

Yun Muheng's words were like a stone hitting Ye Chuxue's originally calm heart, and she suddenly felt strange.

She was thrown into a separate courtyard as soon as she was revived. For so many years, she has been fighting alone, taking care of two children by herself, trying to make herself stronger, and never thinking of relying on others for anything.

Yun Muheng's sudden confession made her feel a little overwhelmed. She glanced around and blushed slightly: "Let's see how you perform!"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Yun Muheng anymore and walked straight towards Kunlan Palace.

Yun Muheng stood there, his gaze fixed on Ye Chuxue's receding figure. His face was filled with unconcealed disappointment, and he seemed enveloped in a thick haze, appearing incredibly lonely. He muttered to himself, "After all, she still won't forgive me..." His voice was filled with helplessness and pain.

Chen Yu, who had been observing everything silently from the side, could not help but sigh deeply and said earnestly, "Your Highness, you must know that you have indeed gone too far this time! When the princess gave birth, she was in such agonizing pain, yet you were not by her side. Afterwards, you became unfoundedly suspicious of her, and even ignored the hard work of raising a child. Anyone else would find it difficult to let go, let alone forgive you easily."

Seeing Yun Muheng still frowning and looking worried, Chen Yu hurriedly offered words of comfort, "But from what I can see, the princess still has a place in her heart for you. When you revealed your feelings to her just now, her face instantly flushed and her speech became stammering. I guess she just didn't know how to face you for a moment."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Yun Muheng immediately turned around, glared at Chen Yu with disgust, and retorted bluntly: "Huh, what do you know about women's minds? You are making unwarranted speculations here! If you really understand these, how could you not have married and started a family yet?" After that, he glanced at Chen Yu fiercely, then turned away without looking back, leaving Chen Yu standing there alone, letting the cold wind mess up his hair, making him fall into embarrassment and helplessness.

Ever since Yun Muheng expressed his feelings to Ye Chuxue that day, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth for several days and never appeared in front of Ye Chuxue again.

It was a sunny day, with a gentle breeze. Ye Chuxue sat quietly in her yard, her gaze somewhat distracted as she watched the two little ones happily playing. However, her heart had already flown away, like a kite with its string cut, to who knows where.

She kept cursing the hateful man in her heart: "What a complete scumbag! He just confessed his love to me and now he's gone! Humph, it's better if he disappears. It would be better if he never shows up in front of me again! Even if he dares to come to me, I will never see him!"

Thinking of this, Ye Chuxue's face became even gloomier, and her resentment seemed to burst out from her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, she was holding the flowers tightly in her hand. Because she was holding them too tightly, the petals had been crushed into pieces and fell to the ground.

But she was completely unaware of this, and continued to stare at the ground beneath her feet with wide eyes, as if that was where the man she hated to the core was.

At this moment, a slightly teasing voice came from not far away: "Oh my, who is so capable that he can make our Xuexue so angry?" Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Chuxue suddenly raised her head, only to see Ouyang Zhi standing not far away, looking at her with a playful look on his face.

She frowned and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"

Ouyang Zhi smiled slightly and walked slowly to Ye Chuxue's side, "Of course I'm giving you money. How about it, do you want this money?

Let me tell you, something's happened in your family! Your highly respected grandmother, the old lady of the Prime Minister's residence, suddenly vomited blood today and has since fallen into a coma. Doctors throughout the capital are helpless, and no one can figure out what's going on.

In the end, it was the eldest princess who came forward to recommend the doctor I knew, Shi, who was a skilled doctor with miraculous healing powers and might be able to cure the old lady's illness. So, the Prime Minister had no choice but to send someone to ask me for help in inviting Shi to come out of retirement."
