Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

After this incident, Shen Yunlan seemed to have completely collapsed.

There was no need for him to go to the outer room, so he stayed in his study all day.

His shoulders slumped, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. Thinking of the consequences, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "I didn't expect that my proud student Jiang Ce, whom I have always valued, would repay me like this. It's sad and pathetic!"

The housekeeper beside him sighed when he saw the state of the Marquis. "Master, don't think about it. Fortunately, the Fourth Young Lady saved you from danger. Don't think about anything in the future. Stay in the Marquis Mansion and enjoy your retirement. I will help you go downstairs to rest."

If Shen Yunlan had not harbored greed and evil thoughts, if he had shown more love and care for his daughter, and had lived happily with his wife, and had not given up on the Fourth Miss, perhaps the Hou Mansion would be bustling with activity right now.

But people often don’t understand that the days that can be seen to the end at a glance are the happy days.

Shen Yunlan wiped away his tears and suddenly found that his eyes were cloudy and he could not see clearly.

She rubbed her eyes again, but everything in front of her turned completely gray!

"Why can't I see anything! Call the court doctor, call the court doctor quickly!" Shen Yunlan shouted hurriedly.

The housekeeper ran out and called the court physician over. However, after taking the patient's pulse, the physician just shook his head regretfully: "Master, this is caused by overwork. Don't get too emotional. Otherwise, you won't be able to predict the next time..."

Su Shi knew about this and just spat: "Serves him right. He has never understood it in his life. He deserves it!"

Nanny Zhu nodded. She didn't feel any sympathy for Shen Yunlan. The Marquis must have known about the hidden letter. Su grumbled, "Now he should know what it feels like to be betrayed by the person he trusts the most!"

Jing'er came in from outside and brought back a piece of news: "Miss, the people from the Dali Temple at the Jiang Mansion have left, and it seems that nothing happened."

"Gone?" Shen Wanqing thought carefully, and a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.

Shen Yunlan and Jiang Ce alone could not have committed treason. The sudden appearance of the people from the Dali Temple must have been arranged by the Queen. It seemed that Jiang Ce had escaped this way.

It seems that Yuwen Ze is trying every possible way to return to Beijing, but now his good elder sister is still imprisoned in the dungeon, and Yuwen Ze knows it.

"What's the situation at Prince Xuanyuan's Mansion?" Shen Wanqing asked, fearing that he would turn around and deal with Xuanyuan Qiaoer directly.

"Miss Xuanyuan has been staying indoors all day since she got the news from my lady," Linglong said as she cleared the things on the table. "Right now, the Xuanyuan Palace is like an iron barrel. No one can get in. It must be safe."

Shen Wanqing nodded. She walked to the window and suddenly realized that the wind today was a bit cold and biting, so she couldn't help but pull her clothes together.

Winter has arrived without us noticing.

Although the winter was cold this year, there was not much snow. Shen Wan was concerned about the situation at the border, so she collected a bunch of medicinal herbs and sent them over.

Lord Xuanyuan was in high spirits when he received the medicinal herbs and the letter from home. He didn't look as seriously ill as the rumors said.

When the captain came to report the situation, Lord Xuanyuan raised his head with pride in his eyes. "Oh? How did you know my niece brought medicine again? Okay, take it to the military doctor's tent."

The captain scratched his head and laughed, "Miss Shen Si has sent something again."

Lord Xuanyuan nodded and intentionally or unintentionally unfolded the letter from home in his hand, which made the captain very jealous.

Xiao Chenyang and Du Zhijie also walked in at the same time. Seeing that Lord Xuanyuan was so happy, they looked at each other and tacitly did not mention that they had also received a letter.

Du Zhijie smiled and said, "Old General, since the medicine has been delivered, the illness should be almost cured."

A gleam flashed in Lord Xuanyuan's eyes. He stroked his beard and laughed out loud, "Yes, it's time to go out and stretch your muscles."

Not long after, Kyoto received good news. Lord Xuanyuan's injuries had greatly improved. Xiao Chenyang and Du Zhijie led their troops to victory over the Zi Luo Kingdom's army. Everyone was excited for a while.

Only the Nanshan Imperial Mausoleum was shrouded in shadow.

"How could this happen? How could I lose!" Yu Wen Ze sat in the study, his mind a mess. Many things were slowly getting out of control, and the original plan could not be implemented at all.

Not long after, Xiao Chenyang secretly returned to Kyoto with the spy captured at the border. After hearing his report, the Second Prince's eyes turned completely cold.

This royal brother can’t be kept!

"This is intolerable. I've tolerated his actions time and time again, but I never imagined he would actually collude with the people of Zi Luo Country! Xiao Chenyang, investigate, investigate thoroughly for me! Find out what he has done that is so heinous and treasonous!"

The second prince's furious voice echoed in the hall, and outside the palace, a young eunuch shuddered, quickly and secretly went to the laundry shop, and delivered a secret letter.

Yu Wen Ze was horrified when he received the letter: "The story about Lord Xuanyuan being injured was fake, no wonder! Now it's over, everything is over!"

The staff beside him knelt down with a frown on their face: "Your Highness, the only solution now is to burn our boats!"

Yuwen Ze paced back and forth in the room, his eyes were red and cold, yet it seemed as if there was hot magma surging in them. Finally, he stopped, staring at the jade pendant on the cabinet on the wall, walked forward, grabbed it and threw it to the ground. This was a reward given to him by his father when he was young.

"Although the Nine Gates Commander has been replaced, they've left quite a few spies in the past two years. They must close the city gates tonight," Yu Wenze ordered coldly. "The sooner the better. As for the Imperial Guards, have them launch their operation tonight."

The staff member's face was filled with excitement, and he said softly, "I will arrange it."

Yuwen Ze looked towards the direction of the imperial palace, his eyes gradually calming down. He was afraid that his father might not be able to make it, so how could his second younger brother be able to rule the world? He needed to take a rest.

In the palace, after hearing the news brought by his confidant, the second prince waved his hand expressionlessly, signaling him to leave first.

"Xiao Chenyang, have you prepared a response plan?" the second prince asked coldly.

Xiao Chenyang knelt on the ground: "When General Du sent me back, he had already ordered 3,000 troops to be stationed outside the city."

"Very good." The second prince's eyes darkened, and he waited quietly for the night to come. Originally, out of brotherhood, he just wanted him to live a peaceful life in Nanshan, but he never thought that he could be so cruel.

The second prince immediately dismissed everyone and reviewed memorials in the Yangxin Palace himself.

At night, the sound of fighting was heard at the palace gate. Not long after, Yuwen Ze walked in from outside the palace. He was wearing armor and holding a sword. Both the armor and the sword were stained with blood, which dripped onto the ground as he walked in.
