Yang was exuding an aura of complete dominance, displaying a willingness to go all out.

Twenty years ago, he had only recently entered the family and did not know much, but he knew how the old general, his father, and his wife had spent their days in self-blame and remorse over the years.

The entire He family home was deathly silent.

Now that Shen Qingxi has been recognized, the He family is clearly moving in a positive direction, and the old master is slowly getting better.

Feng Yu now wants to take Shen Qingxi away again, which is undoubtedly an attempt to repeat the separation of flesh and blood that happened twenty years ago.

Yang felt that if he didn't do something, he would be letting down his deceased brother-in-law.

Many distinguished gentlemen in the main hall were taken aback.

Yang's reputation in the capital had always been that of a gentle and dignified young master from a prominent family, known for his kindness. No one had ever seen him with such a strong side.

He Yun had never seen her husband have such a powerful aura.

For a moment, Old Master He, Han Zixuan, and Yang Shi He Yun stood in front of Shen Qingxi, completely blocking her way.

Surrounding them were relatives of the major families of Kyoto. Feng Yu was stunned and staggered back a few steps, snarling.

"You...you all...humph."

But in the end, he couldn't utter a complete sentence, knowing that Shen Qingxi would not acknowledge him.

He glared at everyone, angrily flung his sleeves, and said, "Hmph, I, the Prince, have been so sincere, yet your He family remains so stubborn."

Very well, I, the Prince, will now lay my words here: the Prince's residence is not a place anyone can enter at will.

"If you miss this opportunity, I will never mention it again. Shen Qingxi, if you ever encounter any trouble in the future, don't come to me for help..."

In the end, he forced himself to remain calm and uttered those harsh words, but no one took them to heart.

They watched as Feng Yu slunk away.

Everyone stopped watching the spectacle and went their separate ways...

The He family was enjoying a harmonious time together in the side hall. The old patriarch of the He family and the old patriarch of the Jiang family were talking to Shen Qingxi, while Han Lingxi moved back and forth among them, making Shen Qingxi smile broadly.

The woman sat down, and Grand Tutor Jiang pondered, "It's good to distance herself from the Prince of Nan'an. She's just a prince with no real power, which is why she's lived so long in peace."

"The events of the past few days have angered His Majesty, and he won't be able to stay in the capital for much longer..."

Han Zixuan nodded and said, "I know. If this prince had any sense at all, he wouldn't have let his husband be killed and his child go missing."

This current obsession is probably a way for him to make up for his own unease by using Qingxi as a means of compensation.

To make myself feel better!

"Yes, yes, this matter is now settled, and the Prince of Nan'an will probably not appear before you again."

Now let's talk about the envoys from various countries. The Little New Year is just a few days away, and the envoys from various countries have not yet announced when they will leave the capital. I'm afraid something might happen then.

You need to be extra careful..."

He Yun said, "Grand Tutor, rest assured, the Imperial Guards in the capital have been increased to three times their original number."

"Many more personnel have been added throughout the imperial city to ensure the safety of His Majesty and the capital."

Han Zixuan, however, didn't take it seriously, after all, she had just been attacked last night.

They didn't see any soldiers patrolling the imperial city; it was the yamen runners who arrived first.

Moreover, those men in black were all highly skilled, and ordinary city guards would be no match for them, so He Yun's arrangements for security were obviously not very effective.

He then suggested, "General He, guarding the area in a fixed position like this probably won't be very effective."

He Yun's expression turned serious as she looked at Han Zixuan. "So, Zixuan, what do you mean..."

He Yun valued this niece-in-law very much. Putting aside their kinship, it was no small feat that Han Zixuan, a commoner, could gain the Emperor's favor and be granted the title of Third-Rank Captain.

He even led 30,000 soldiers to fight against Prince Rui's 50,000 rebel troops and captured Prince Rui and the escaped former prime minister An Yun.

Then, with a resounding victory, His Majesty's worries about the rear were eliminated...

I thought Han Zixuan was just an ordinary scholar, but I never expected that she was also proficient in martial arts and could lead troops into battle...

This is something that not everyone can do; each of these skills alone is something that others can only dream of.

Now that she's her niece-in-law, she naturally wouldn't harm her.

Han Zixuan frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Staying on guard will only lead to passivity. It would be better to strengthen the security of Kyoto."

It would be better to divide them into several patrol teams and have them patrol the streets of Kyoto.

Firstly, it would allow the people of Kyoto to celebrate the New Year in peace.

The patrol team can also use this opportunity to investigate suspicious individuals in Kyoto.

If you encounter them, you can go and hunt them down directly. It's much better than just waiting and watching!

If anyone tries to take further action, there will be obstacles.

Grand Tutor Jiang and He Yun exchanged a glance, their eyes immediately lighting up.

He Yun exclaimed, "Good...good idea! This way we can not only protect the safety of the people, but also keep out some petty scoundrels."

If anyone wants to make a move, this patrol team won't be so easy to encounter; it truly kills two birds with one stone.

I will report this matter to His Majesty tomorrow…”

Inside the inn, Tana paced back and forth in her room, her face filled with anxiety.

Thor also looked indignant, "Kyoto was fine before..."

Why have so many patrol teams suddenly appeared?

There's practically no free time; it's difficult to do anything at all!

Tana glared at her fiercely, "Shut up, now is not the time to complain, let's wait for my brother to arrive!"

Before long, Rong Di was brought into the room, and Tana quickly stopped and said respectfully.

"Brother Wang, you've arrived!"

Rong Di said calmly, "Why are you being so rash!"

She doesn't look like a princess at all!

Tana could only stand there, saying, "What you say is true, but we've encountered some troublesome matters."

For some reason, several hundred patrol teams suddenly appeared in Kyoto.

This has created some trouble for our future plans!

Their people hiding in Kyoto could not be contacted.

Rong Di narrowed his gray-blue eyes and pondered, "It is indeed a bit troublesome..."

However, there is still an opportunity. Let's keep our people inactive for now.

It must be very lively in Kyoto during the New Year holidays now; take the opportunity to mingle with the crowds and experience it for yourself.

Tana nodded. "Yes, Brother Wang is very thoughtful."

Rong Di then inquired, "By the way, how's the investigation into Han Zixuan going?"

Thor's eyes showed a hint of panic, and Tana immediately looked at her.

"Sol... tell me what you've found out!"

Saul took the blame for this herself; she actually had her own selfish motives.

Han Zixuan, of course, held a grudge against her for humiliating her.

They wanted to take the opportunity to find out more about Han Zixuan's situation and then look for a chance to make a move.

The information she found surprised her greatly; Han Zixuan was the person they had been looking for.

Given the prince's high regard for her, Han Zixuan is definitely not to be touched. If that's the case, how can she take revenge?

Seeing Thor's strange expression, Rong Di asked in a somewhat cold tone.

"Tell me! What did you find out?"
