An hour later, the team stopped at the entrance of the palace. All the imperial guards heaved a sigh of relief. If they continued listening, they would go crazy collectively.
Shen Yijia happened to be thirsty from singing. She jumped out of the carriage and stretched.
Looking at the imperial guards who instantly surrounded her, she rolled her eyes. “We can walk on our own.”
The leader of the imperial guards nodded, and the others retreated.
The imperial guards had received the emperor’s instructions. The leader of the imperial guards showed his token and was let in.
Shen Yijia looked around and whispered, “Hubby, why do I feel that the matter is a little serious?”
Seeing how serious these people were, she remembered that she had been to the palace of Great Xia before. Back then, she could more or less see eunuchs and palace maids walking along the palace path, but she did not see a single one along the way.
Song Jingchen held her hand tightly. “I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”
“Yes.” Shen Yijia nodded obediently and stopped looking around.
They were brought to a palace with the words “Yuqian Palace” written on it.
The leader of the imperial guards went forward and reported. The door of the Yuqian Palace opened.
The two of them walked in. Before they could see what was going on inside, a pet.i.te figure rushed towards them.
“B*tch, I’m going to kill you to avenge my father…” Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia subconsciously raised their feet.
“Ah!”
The figure was sent flying in a parabola.
“Ye’er!” A woman exclaimed and pounced over to help her up.
Seeing who it was that she and Song Jingchen had kicked out, Shen Yijia’s face turned cold.
What did he mean by avenging her father? Wasn’t Xuanyuan Ye’s father that sc.u.mbag? Was the sc.u.mbag dead?
A stern voice sounded from above. “How dare you! Cough, cough, cough!” Shen Yijia looked up. The person who spoke was blocked.
“Your Majesty, you have to take care of your body. Don’t be angry anymore.” “Imperial Physician Wan, you can leave first,” Xuanyuan Qi said coldly.
Imperial Physician Wan moved aside and Shen Yijia saw the face of the person sitting in front of the imperial desk. Their eyes met and her eyes widened.
“Why are you here?”
Xuanyuan Qi was not surprised. He looked at Shen Yijia coldly, and there was a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.
The eunuch berated, “How dare you? Do you not want your eyes anymore? Kneel when you see Your Majesty.”
Although he didn’t understand when Shen Yijia had seen the emperor of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, Song Jingchen knew that this wasn’t the time to be curious about this. He pinched Shen Yijia’s hand and reminded her. He lifted his robe and knelt down. “Greetings, Your Majesty.” Shen Yijia frowned and knelt down.
Xuanyuan Qi glanced at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch understood and asked the two men kneeling at the front, who were dressed as servants, “The two of you, take a good look. Was she the one you
saw last night?”
He was pointing at Shen Yijia.
The two servants turned around and looked at Shen Yijia for a long time.
One of them said in a trembling voice, “It was too dark at that time, I didn’t see it clearly. But that person was wearing an apricot-colored dress, and her figure was a little similar to hers.”
It was an apricot color. When Xuanyuan Qi saw Shen Yijia yesterday, the dress she was wearing was this color.
Another person hurriedly said, “I saw that person’s face, but that person had a veil on her face. However, the flower bud between her eyebrows is exactly the same as hers…
Shen Yijia was at a loss.
Song Jingchen’s heart sank.
As expected, the Wu Kingdom’s people attacking Xuanyuan Ce was only the first step. In order to prevent the Xuanyuan Kingdom from cooperating with Great Xia, the second step was to frame them.
“Uncle, it must be her! ” Xuanyuan Ye looked at Shen Yijia hatefully. Ignoring the pain in her body, she knelt down and said, “She must hate Father for abandoning her and her mother back then, so she attacked Father. Uncle, you have to avenge my father!”
Her eyes were swollen from crying, and the sadness on her face was genuine.
“Your Majesty…” Madam Yu closed her eyes as tears streamed down her face.
Although it was just two simple words, it seemed to be infectious and sad.
“Your Majesty, Lord Jing’an’s body is outside the hall,” an eunuch reported shakily.
Xuanyuan Qi suddenly stood up and swayed. The eunuch wanted to help him, but he shook him off and strode out of the hall.
Madam Yu and her daughter quickly got up and followed. When they pa.s.sed by Shen Yijia, Xuanyuan Ye raised her foot to step on her hand.
In the end, she missed. When she met Song Jingchen’s eyes, her heart skipped a beat. She said hatefully, “Imperial Uncle will never let you off.”
“Hubby, what are they talking about?” Shen Yijia looked at Song Jingchen in a daze.
What did he mean by Lord Jing’an’s body? She clearly knew these words, but she couldn’t understand them when she put them together. How strange.
Song Jingchen’s heart ached. He tightened his grip on her hand. “Don’t worry, it might not be true. Let’s go out and take a look.”
“Alright, I have the spiritual liquid. I’m not afraid.” Shen Yijia stood up with
Song Jingchen’s help..
