I think my luck is turning around.

"The soldiers are already on their way, but I came ahead of you because I was worried about Your Majesty's safety. Why are there so few people in the palace today? Has something happened?"

"That know-it-all from Le Si Fang seems to have been kidnapped, and Mr. Ji has led his men out to look for him."

"ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was kidnapped? We met just last night!

“Who could have predicted this unexpected event? Mr. Ji even came to scold me for it, saying that I was not managing things properly.”

Li Yu was also very puzzled. Wasn't this a bit too outrageous? In broad daylight, they must have been waiting for a long time!

Less than half an hour later, someone was brought to the main hall, and the rebellion was over. Eunuch Fengyuan also sent people to clean up the palace, and the troops he had mobilized had returned. In the main hall, the man remained defiant.

"Prince Mu, why are you involved in this rebellion?"

The emperor's face was grim. This was his most trusted brother, and he had never imagined that he would lead the rebellion. Naturally, this man had been used as a pawn, but seeing that he showed no remorse whatsoever, the emperor was furious.

"Speak! Who's behind you?"

"Yan Xu is dead. I want to clear her name. I want to sit on the throne and grant her the title of Empress."

Prince Mu's words stunned the Emperor. Yan Xu's death was something even the Emperor hadn't anticipated; they had been good friends back then, at least that's what he thought. Even after her father was arrested, she was confident she could have survived under the protection of the two princes.

But Yan Xu made no move whatsoever, remaining completely silent throughout her father's arrest and exile. At that time, he and Mingchen were prepared to rescue Yan Xu directly, but the moment Yan Xu saw them, she didn't recognize them. Mingchen considered knocking her unconscious and carrying her away, but the person in front of her wasn't Yan Xu!

He hesitated, was then trapped by the men who came, and subsequently imprisoned. Such disregard for the law was severely punished by their father, the emperor. Yan Xu was immediately sent to exile, and died within three days.

"What does Yan Xu's death have to do with your rebellion? Have you gone mad?"

Prince Mu sneered, then pulled out a short knife. The Emperor stared at him, and Li Yu was also on guard, fearing he might assassinate the Emperor. He immediately went into a defensive stance, but unexpectedly, the short knife was pointed at him. Li Yu was faster, grabbing the knife directly. He snatched the knife away and, in a swift turn, subdued Ming Chen.

At first, Mingchen struggled, but gradually he stopped and instead glared at his elder brother with hatred. The emperor's eyes were cold and stern, devoid of any pity, filled only with anger and disappointment at his brother's lack of progress.

He was taken into custody and imprisoned in the imperial prison in the early morning. Li Yu's hand was also treated by the imperial physician, and there was nothing seriously wrong with it.

"General Li, if there's nothing else, you may return!"

Li Yu stared blankly at the wound on her hand until the emperor called her, at which point she snapped out of her daze, "Something's wrong!"

"whats the matter?"

"May I know something about Yan Xu?"

Li Yu asked cautiously, purely out of his gossipy nature. Li Yu was incredibly bold at this point, but the emperor didn't seem to intend to hide anything and slowly revealed the truth.

"Yan Xu is a very sunny and lively person. She is as free as a bird, and no one can stop her."

Are you happy with her?

"Of course, the time I spent with her was the most relaxing time of my life."

"Do you love her?"

Li Yu was teetering on the brink of death. The emperor looked at her with great confusion, "What kind of question is that!"

"I'm asking about your feelings for her, specifically, what kind of feelings!"

“She is a friend. I know that Prince Mu likes her. Prince Mu wants to live a life with many children, but Yan Xu does not like that kind of life. She likes to travel around the country. She is free. How can she be trapped in a deep mansion for the sake of love and children?”
