Xiao Ji: "...Okay."

"..."

Xie Yao made a lot of arrangements for what would happen after she entered the palace, and Xiao Ji didn't object. He agreed to whatever Xie Yao said.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the palace gate.

As Xie Yao and Xiao Ji got off the carriage, they heard the sound of horses galloping in the distance.

The two of them looked at the same time and were both shocked. The person riding the horse was not someone else, but Emperor Yongle!

Empress Yongle was nearly sixty years old, and although she had always been in good health, she was still old. But the sight of her riding on a horse, galloping towards her, made people subconsciously forget her age!

"Aunt." Xie Yao and Xiao Ji immediately saluted.

Emperor Yongle dismounted with a swift movement, threw the horse to a servant, and walked towards the palace without retreating a single step, saying, "Let's talk on the way!"

Xie Yao understood instantly: Queen Yongle was very worried about her brother.

The two followed immediately.

But as soon as he reached the palace gate, he was stopped by the guards, "Your Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace today..."

Before the man could finish his words, he was whipped by Yongle Emperor's whip. Yongle Emperor angrily shouted, "Get out of here!"

"The Emperor has allowed me to enter and leave the palace at any time. I use the purple-gold whip in my hand to strike down the tyrant emperor and corrupt officials. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Emperor Yongle once single-handedly supported the Xia Kingdom when the current emperor was still young, so his momentum was naturally terrifying.

After being scolded by her, and with the help of Xie Yao and the guards from the Prince's Mansion brought by Xiao Ji, the guards guarding the palace gate no longer dared to stop them and immediately gave way.

Emperor Yongle strode into the palace gate with his head held high, asked where the emperor was, and then rushed over immediately!

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji followed closely behind.

Yongle Queen was holding a purple-gold whip, looking very aggressive. Pei Chen also rushed over to protect her after hearing the news. No one dared to stop her.

She entered the Yangxin Palace without any obstruction.

Apart from the imperial physicians, the only people staying in the Yangxin Palace at this moment were Eunuch Li and Concubine Li.

"Greetings, Her Royal Highness." Li Dajian rushed forward as if he had seen a savior. Emperor Yongle glanced at him sideways, walked past him, and asked, "How is Your Majesty?"

The imperial physician immediately reported, "To answer your question, Your Majesty's coma was very sudden. The specific cause seems to be... poisoning."

"How dare you!" the empress shouted angrily, "His Majesty was poisoned in the palace, and you're all just sitting there doing nothing?"

When the emperor was furious, no one dared to speak. Eunuch Li and the other imperial physicians even subconsciously lowered their breathing for fear of being taken out on by the emperor.

"How is His Majesty doing now? When will he wake up?" Emperor Yongle asked with a serious face.

The imperial doctors knelt on the ground in a flurry. "We are incompetent, and we ask for your forgiveness. Your Majesty already has many underlying illnesses. Although the poisoning was brief, it is complex..."

Emperor Yongle listened, his expression becoming even uglier. "No matter the cost, we must rescue His Majesty as soon as possible."

Then, she looked at Li Dajian again, "Who poisoned her, how did they do it, and how was the poison brought into the palace? Have you found out everything?"

This time, it was Eunuch Li who knelt down. "Please calm down, my lord. I have sent people to investigate, but there are no clues yet..."

"Damn it." Concubine Li's voice rang out, "I'm a little skeptical about this matter."

Everyone's eyes fell on Concubine Li, who said, "Your Majesty was in the Yanxi Palace when the accident happened. This incident must be related to Concubine Shu. I have already had the Yanxi Palace under control and am ordering a thorough investigation."
