I think my luck is turning around.

"How could you be so foolish? That's our eldest brother! How dare you rebel against him!"

"I just miss Yan Xu. He said that as long as we rebel, we can see Yan Xu come back."

"Him? Who is he?"

"I've never seen what he looks like."

"You...you...you are this."

Mingqu was utterly speechless. How could her second brother be so foolish? No matter how good Yan Xu was, she was already dead. She and her eldest brother had even gone to find her body and buried her. See Yan Xu? Impossible! Only bones remained. The dead cannot be brought back to life!

"At first, they said you were rebelling, which I didn't believe. Now it seems I was incredibly stupid."

Father only has three children, and my elder brother has always protected us and has never done anything to us. You know my eldest brother; if he wants to do something, he's willing to use any means necessary.

What are you doing now? You've slapped us in the face, you've humiliated our brotherly harmony!

Do you think your older brother will punish you? How will he punish you? What reason would he use to spare your life?

Mingqu was clearly furious, even wanting to tear his second brother's face apart, but he held back. It was his second brother who was in the wrong; anyone could use Yan Xu's affair to exchange for anything, even rebellion.

"Thank you for coming to see me. I know I won't survive. I should go and keep Yan Xu company."

Mingchen was naturally in a state of frustration. He only realized he had been used after being imprisoned. Yan Xu's matter had always been on his mind. If only they had gone to rescue her, she would have been alive and wouldn't have died.

"Come here, let me beat you up!"

Mingqu listened to his dejected speech and really wanted to go in and beat him up. However, the prison wouldn't open its doors; they could only talk from outside. Just then, a servant walked in from the doorway.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has sent word that you should not be angry. You can go in and give him a beating."

The eldest princess looked at the doorway in surprise; it seemed her elder brother, the Emperor, had arrived. Mingqu quickly suppressed her anger. The Emperor walked in; this dark place was surprisingly clean. However, it was only slightly cleaner; after all, it was a place where members of the royal family were imprisoned.

Not long ago, in the Empress's palace, the Emperor stood outside the hall, listening to the conversation inside, to the Empress's weeping, and to the soft voices of comfort. The Emperor had been standing outside for a long time, and upon learning that Yi Yunhan had left with the Empress, he followed her in.

But I heard something incredible outside.

The Emperor didn't go in; instead, he turned around and went straight to the imperial prison. Outside, he listened to Mingqu's chatter. This girl was still the same; she clearly wasn't having a good time herself! The things that were happening in this royal family were all incredibly absurd.

"Yan Xu's body is buried on the mountain near Qingshan Temple, but who told you that you can see Yan Xu if you rebel?"

Since then, they have all tacitly avoided talking about Yan Xu, and it is rare for them to say it so directly now.

"I don't know who that person is, and I've never heard their voice before."

Mingxi stared speechlessly at the person squatting in the corner, then glanced at Fengyuan beside him. Fengyuan opened the cell door, and Mingxi and Mingqu went in and beat Mingchen mercilessly.

Mingchen covered his head and let the two of them hit him. When they got tired, they sat down to the side and looked at Mingchen curled up on the ground. Neither of them dared to use too much force, but Mingqu kicked Mingchen angrily.

"Yan Xu has been found; she's in the palace."

I can't keep you here any longer. I'll find a doctor to change your appearance, and then you won't be Mingchen anymore.

I'll release Yan Xu too; you'll have to handle the rest yourself.
