You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Everyone gathered around.

The woman in the portrait was thin but had pretty features, especially her eyes, which were bright and lively.

"This is what mother looked like before she got sick."

Manager Qu gently stroked the portrait and said, "Miss, is there a red mole on the back of your mother's neck?"

An Bei nodded vigorously, "Yes! I was young and ignorant at that time, I thought it was a red bean, and I even picked it with my hand. Mom told me it was a mole."

After hearing this, the two old maids burst into tears.

Manager Qu knelt down and said, "Miss, you are very likely the eldest princess's granddaughter!"

Zhao Jingchen reminded him, "Whether it is true or not, we have to wait until the Royal Aunt comes back to see her before we can determine."

Mu Yunge patted An Bei's back gently. "Zixuan is right. This matter needs to be decided after the princess comes back to see him. It's too early to say anything now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianxuan rushed over like an arrow and asked loudly at the door.

"My Lord, where is he?"

Zhao Jingchen pointed at An Bei in Mu Yunge's arms.

Mu Yunge gently pushed An Bei away to make it easier for Tianxuan to recognize him.

Tianxuan carefully studied Anbei's features and nodded, "He really does look like my Prince Consort!"

Manager Qu handed her the portrait again and said, "Look at the portrait again. This is her mother!"

Tianxuan took the portrait and took a quick glance. She couldn't take her eyes off it. "She looks so much like our little princess. Although her appearance has changed a little since she was a child, her facial features now look more like the prince consort."

An Bei added, "Everyone says I look a lot like my mother, that we were cut from the same mold."

Mu Yunge reminded, "Anbei, quickly take out the jade pendant and let this aunt see it."

An Bei hurriedly pulled the jade pendant from his neck. Tian Xuan took it and examined it carefully. "Yes, this is the jade pendant of the Prince Consort. His Highness also has one, and the other is on the young princess."

Tianxuan knelt on the ground, holding Anbei's legs tightly, tears streaming down her face, "Young Master... We finally found you!"

The words "I finally found you" made An Bei burst into tears, "So, you are really my family?"

Tianxuan nodded.

"This matter is of no small importance. I will go and welcome His Highness immediately!"

He stood up and was about to walk out.

Zhao Jingchen reminded him at the right time, "Call Tianyou and travel secretly. Be careful on the road. This is an emergency period. Be careful of mad dogs biting people."

Tianxuan nodded, looked at Anbei deeply again, and then disappeared quickly from the spot.

Royal study room.

After listening to Eunuch Yao's report, Emperor Yan's brows became more and more furrowed.

The Dragon Shadow Guards alone numbered over two hundred, and with the addition of the royal palace's personnel, how could a fight involving hundreds of people not leave traces? Could it be that the palace's personnel had been prepared and had cleaned up the scene after the fight?

"How is it possible that there aren't any signs of a fight?"

He muttered to himself in disbelief and dejection, "It seems that Mingxiao and the others are in great danger. I wonder when the War King's men became so powerful?"

Even the Dragon Shadow Guards who protected the Emperor were destroyed by me. It seems that Heaven is determined to destroy me."

Those who do evil will eventually perish. Who can be blamed for this?

Eunuch Yao's eyes darkened, but he still said soothingly, "Your Majesty, Mingxiao and the others might just be trapped temporarily. They haven't found anyone alive, and their bodies haven't been found. This situation is very abnormal."

"You mean, Mingxiao and the others were detained by Zhan Wang's men?"

Eunuch Yao shook his head. "It's just a guess. It might not have been done by Prince Zhan. It could have been done by someone else."

The Great Yan Emperor lost confidence even more, "The fact that they were able to detain Ming Xiao and the others shows that their strength is unfathomable. Even Ming Xiao and the others are no match for them.

There is such a powerful person in the capital, why haven't I received any news? "

Eunuch Yao didn't know how to respond, so he just lowered his head and pretended he didn't hear anything.

"Are you mute?"

"Your Majesty, this old servant..."

The atmosphere between the master and servant suddenly became a little weird.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Censor Wang Songlin requests an audience." The young eunuch's report broke the deadlock between the master and servant.

The Great Yan Emperor roared impatiently: "Announce!"

Soon, Wang Songlin stepped into the imperial study, walked up to the emperor and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

"My dear Lord Wang, what brings you to see me at this time?" The Great Yan Emperor picked up a memorial, pretended to look down at it, and asked perfunctorily.

Wang Songlin bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, the people on the street are saying that the Dragon Shadow Guards raided Prince Zhan's mansion last night and wanted to massacre him. They say that Your Majesty is an unkind ruler..."

"Bastard!"

The Great Yan Emperor was furious, and the memorial in his hand flew towards Wang Songlin, "You are the Imperial Censor, a veteran of two dynasties. The people have spread rumors, but instead of verifying them, you come to me and make empty promises.

"The Dragon Shadow Guards are going to massacre the Zhan Prince's Mansion. Is it possible for the Zhan Prince's Mansion to still exist? You will know if you go to the Zhan Prince's Mansion and take a look."

Then he looked up at Wang Songlin and said, "I order you to go to Prince Zhan's mansion and investigate what happened last night."

Humph, I was just worrying about the whereabouts of the Dragon Shadow Guard, and you just showed up at my door. It would be much better for you to conduct a formal investigation than for Yao Huaian to do it.

Wang Songlin was an old minister promoted by the late emperor. He was grateful for the late emperor's appreciation and was very dissatisfied with Prince Zhan's experience. He also wanted to know the situation of Prince Zhan's mansion and the prince, so he gladly accepted the task.

He bowed and saluted, "I obey your command!"

The Great Yan Emperor watched the figure gradually walk away from the Imperial Study and snorted coldly, "I hope you can find out the whereabouts of the Dragon Shadow Guard."

After Wang Songlin walked out of the imperial study, he walked quickly out of the palace, but at a certain turn, he looked back in the direction of the imperial study.

The people on the street described the incident with details and even the situation at that time with facts, so it was expected that it could not be false.

The current emperor is really capable of doing such a thing.

As a king, he has a reputation of being unkind in the hearts of the people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. It seems that the emperor's good days are coming to an end.

Wang Songlin quickened his pace to leave the palace.

Fighting against the Prince's Mansion.

Everyone was very excited about the fact that An Bei might be the eldest princess's granddaughter. They were chatting and laughing as they recalled every little detail of the past between the eldest princess and her husband.

The guards at the gate came running over and said, "Your Highness, Imperial Censor Wang Songlin requests an audience!"

Zhao Jingchen's eyes moved and he figured out the key.

"Bring him in. Lord Wang must have heard the people's discussions on the street and went to question that person, but he ended up being outmaneuvered by that person. Let him come to the palace to get an explanation."

"Then how do we deal with it?" Li Mingzhao asked.

Mu Yunge clapped his hands and chuckled, "Let's just say that the Dragon Shadow Guards did come, but right after the fight started, they were called away by a few whistles."

Li Mingzhao clapped his hands and laughed, "Good idea! The Dog Emperor wants to know the whereabouts of the Dragon Shadow Guard, but he doesn't dare to look for it openly. Then let him find it."

Mu Yunge and his companions quickly avoided it.

Soon, Wang Songlin was brought in.

"This old minister greets His Majesty!"

Zhao Jingchen lay on the bed and slowly raised his hand: "Master Wang, why are you here?"

Manager Qu stepped forward and helped Wang Songlin up.

Wang Songlin couldn't help but feel sad when he saw Zhao Jingchen's expression. "Prince, are you okay?"

"I'm not dead yet. Tell me, what brings you here?"

Wang Songlin's face was filled with anger. "Your Highness, the people on the street are saying that the Emperor sent the Dragon Shadow Guards to destroy Prince Zhan's mansion last night, saying that the Emperor is unkind. Is this true?"

Li Mingzhao angrily asked, "Did the emperor send you here?"

"Yes, I heard the people's discussions and went to the palace to ask the emperor. The emperor asked me to come to the Zhanwang Mansion. I also wanted to take this opportunity to visit the prince."

Li Mingzhao pretended to draw his sword, "I'm going to kill that dog emperor..."
