The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

But the truth she learned today was hard for her to accept. She had endured for most of her life and had painstakingly planned all of this, but in fact, it was all in vain.

She herself didn't let go...

She caused everything by herself...

But she realized it too late. She only hated herself for being stupid and blinded by hatred. Everything was her own fault.

The eldest princess slumped on the ground, the light in her eyes gradually extinguished.

The Queen Mother looked at her and sighed, "Now that things have come to this, I don't want to dwell on the past. From now on, you should stay here and reflect on your actions!"

The eldest princess smiled bitterly, "I know my crime is unforgivable. I only ask the Queen Mother to spare Jiayin. She is innocent. These things were all done by me alone and have nothing to do with Jiayin."

"The Emperor and Empress will make the final decision on the matter of good news."

"Mother, you have watched Jiayin grow up since she was little. I beg you, please let Jiayin go..."

"The child has become what he is today because of your doting and instigation. As a mother, you are to blame!"

"She previously instigated Miss Ye to have the bandits kidnap Yue Yin and Young Master Shen. She must be punished."

"It will also teach her a lesson, so she can understand what to do and what not to do, so she won't be as confused as you, her mother."

"For the sake of our past friendship, as long as Jiayin repents, I will ensure she has a safe life for the rest of her life. You can rest assured."

"From now on, there will be no more relationship between you and me, and you don't have to call me mother anymore."

The eldest princess knelt on the ground and kowtowed sincerely, "Thank you, mother, for your help. I understand..."

After everyone left, the cold palace returned to silence.

Only the eldest princess stood there alone, gazing into the distance, wondering what she was thinking about, or perhaps repenting for something...

Ye Zhenlong and his son at the border were shocked to learn that the eldest princess had been arrested.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Brother actually betrayed us. Father, what should we do now?"

Ye Zhenlong was also very angry about this. He didn't understand why Ye Huan did this!

Ye Zhenlong calmed down for a moment and said, "The only option now is to fight to the death."

Although Ye Chen was nervous, he could only nod.

Although they already knew that the chances of success were slim, they still had to give it a try to see who would win.

Ye Zhenlong and his son quickly gathered their trusted men and prepared to launch a mutiny.

They also tried to secretly contact some people in the court who had received favors from the eldest princess, trying to win over more people to expand their team.

However, no one was willing to take the risk at this moment. After all, even the eldest princess had fallen and the princess's mansion had been raided.

Many people chose to turn from evil to good and surrendered themselves to Emperor Yong'an, praying that they could be rewarded for their crimes and have their sentences reduced.

Emperor Yong'an also readily accepted this, and treated those who confessed with leniency and those who resisted with severity. This move greatly reduced the losses of Dazhao.

When the two fight, no matter who wins or loses, the people of Dazhao will suffer in the end.

When Ye Zhenlong and his son found that no one responded, they became more and more panicked.

But now the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

The Ye family father and son decided to take a gamble and led 80,000 private soldiers towards Zhaojing.

The Ye family rebelled, and the situation became extremely tense.

However, Emperor Yong'an had already made preparations and dispatched 100,000 troops back to protect the imperial city.

Together with the 3,000 imperial guards and 20,000 imperial guards guarding the palace, it was more than enough to fight against the Ye family.

Although the number of the Royal Guards is small, they are the most elite troops, and each one of them is capable of defeating a hundred people alone.

Therefore, the Ye family's defeat was already predetermined.

However, Emperor Yong'an still frowned at this moment, and he did not feel very happy about this.

After Shen Leyan arrived at the imperial study, she saw that Emperor Yong'an had a sad look on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking and didn't even notice that she had walked up to him.

He whispered, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the Ye family's uprising again?"

"Yan'er is here."

Emperor Yong'an took Shen Leyan's hand and sighed softly, "I'm not worried about the Ye family's rebellion, but I'm afraid that this series of changes will cause unrest in the government."

"Furthermore, regardless of the outcome of this battle, the casualties will be the millions of people of Dazhao."

Shen Leyan gently nestled in Emperor Yong'an's arms and whispered, "Your Majesty is so concerned about the people. It is truly a blessing for the people."

"But now that the Ye family has taken the initiative to instigate rebellion, a quick victory is the best strategy. Your Majesty cares about the people, so you can grant amnesty to appease the people after the war."

Emperor Yong'an nodded slightly, "Yan'er is right, I think so too."

"As for the matter of Princess Jiayin, how do you want to handle it, Yan'er?"

"There's already solid evidence that she and the second young lady of the Ye family conspired to plot against your brother and Yue Yin. They should be taught a lesson."

"But my mother specifically instructed us to spare Jiayin's life..."

Shen Leyan nodded. She had actually discussed this matter with her family a long time ago.

Both Shen Lebai and Shangguan Yueyin said that they would put the overall situation first. Anyway, they were both safe and sound and nothing serious had happened, so it didn't matter whether they pursued the matter or not.

However, Shen Leyan couldn't swallow this humiliation. She felt it was necessary to teach them both a lesson.

Especially Princess Jiayin, she is still shirking responsibility and wants to put all the blame on Ye Jinyu.

But Ye Jinyu didn't buy it. She had already confessed her crimes clearly.

"Li Jiayin, you are no longer a princess, so stop acting so high and mighty!"

"Do you think you are still the princess you once were?"

"Bah! It's nothing."

"I'm not afraid of you now!"

Ye Jinyu is now extremely grateful. Fortunately, he was smart and sensible enough to surrender early.

Humph, she is not afraid of Princess Jiayin at this moment!

"Ye Jinyu, stop being so complacent here. Don't think you are any better than me!"

"I am better than you. So, are you envious?"

"you……"

Ye Jinyu pouted as if she deserved a beating. At this moment, she felt really happy.

The eldest princess fell, and Li Jiayin lost her title of princess. Her current status is not even a bit better than hers.

Princess Jiayin snorted coldly, "So what?"

"What do you have that I should envy?"

"Shen Lebai still doesn't like you, so he married Shangguan Yueyin."

"You unwanted idiot!"

Princess Jiayin's words touched Ye Jinyu's heart. She watched the smile on Ye Jinyu's face gradually collapse, and suddenly she laughed.

Humph, what qualifications does she have to ridicule her?

"Bah, you're the idiot that no one wants!"

"I won't bother with people like you!"
