Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

Ye Mingde was stopped as soon as he arrived at the palace gate.

"By imperial decree, no one may enter the palace without an imperial edict."

Ye Mingde was very anxious. "But..." He had just started to speak when the other person gripped his sword, his brows furrowed. He could only force a smile and try to inquire, but the other person wouldn't answer and even told him to stay away.

Left with no other option, Ye Mingde went to Minister Zhou, but Minister Zhou also had no news of his sister.

"Not a single message has been sent out from the Imperial Hospital, Lord Ye. I advise you to go home and wait. At this point, it's completely impossible for you to enter the palace," Minister Zhou said bluntly. "You also need to be mentally prepared. If something unexpected happens, you must hold on. You must trust Xie Bohuai's abilities; he will investigate thoroughly and give your sister justice."

"What use is justice to me?" Ye Mingde's eyes were bloodshot. "I just want my sister to live well. As for everything else, I don't care!"

"Master Ye!"

Minister Zhou couldn't stop Ye Mingde. Seeing Ye Mingde leave like this, he knew something was wrong. He sent someone to the Xie family and said, "Just tell them that Ye Mingde went to the palace gate. I know Xie Bohuai can receive the news. Tell him to handle it himself and not lose both his wife and his army."

The messenger's heart pounded. There was still no news from Madam Xie. If he said that, he would probably be beaten to death. He could only think of a way to change the subject.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, Princess Xihe had just come out of her mother's palace. She stared blankly up at the sky above.

Seeing the Crown Prince approaching, she reached out to stop him. "Brother, Mother told me not to trust Ning An. I said it was impossible for Ning An to do this. She's such a smart person, how could she do such a thing in her own palace? But Mother said that taking a risky move and making everyone think she wouldn't do it is the only way to clear her name from suspicion."

The Crown Prince looked exhausted. "Xihe, I don't have time to talk to you about this right now. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you shouldn't stay here. Go home quickly and don't worry about things in the palace."

"But brother, I don't believe Ning'an did it." Xihe looked at her brother, tears silently streaming down her face. "Why? Why do you all have to do this?"

Princess Xihe couldn't understand it. She knew she was stupid and not smart enough, so when her father and mother made her marry, she did.

All she wanted was for the people around her to live, and to live well.

But things went counterproductive.

Even if she wasn't very bright, she could still figure something out. "Brother, do you really want Ning An to die?"

“It’s not that I want her dead, it’s that she shouldn’t have come back. Xihe, Ning’an isn’t you. Don’t you know how cunning she is?” The Crown Prince looked at his sister, wanting her to wipe away her tears, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it. “Things in this world aren’t always judged by right or wrong. Take my advice, leave this matter and go out of the palace.”

"You all told me to stay out of it, and Xie Bohuai won't let me see Wanning either. It's ridiculous! You all think you're so great, but in the end, you'll probably be in deep trouble." Princess Xihe wiped away her tears. "You won't let me go, but I'll go anyway!"

Princess Xihe went to see Ning An. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Ning An calmly sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. She rushed over excitedly, "What time is it? How can you still be drinking tea?"

"Are you talking about Ye Wanning?" Ning An smiled faintly. "If this matter had harmed someone else, I would surely be dead. But since Xie Bohuai is involved, I don't need to worry. Think about it, what kind of person is Xie Bohuai? Do you think he wouldn't be able to find out?"

Princess Ning'an saw things clearly and remained calm.

Instead, Princess Xihe frowned. "Ning'an, you really didn't do it?"

"No."

Who is that? Princess Xihe had never felt her mind working so fast as she did now.

Ning An is right, Xie Bohuai will definitely find out the truth.

Princess Xihe's heart sank heavily, a bad premonition creeping into her mind.

Just then, a palace attendant rushed in with a message, "Your Highness, Lord Xie has stormed into the Imperial Hospital and broken the hand of Physician Xu, the head of the hospital!"

Physician Xu?

Princess Xihe's eyebrows twitched, and without saying a word, she turned and ran.
