Mu Yun'an looked at Xiao Chengyi's hand holding hers. The bones were clearly distinct and beautiful, and the warmth from his palm spread little by little, making her feel extra at ease.
She took her hand out: "Who allowed you to touch me? You are getting bolder and bolder. Be careful, I will chop off your hand."
Mu Yun'an snorted, turned and walked away.
Xiao Chengyi stood there and smiled, recalling the remaining warmth in his hands. His Yan Yan had become cruel. Either he wanted to gouge out his eyes or cut off his hands.
But what does this mean? As long as she is willing to call him brother Yi again, I can give her this life.
Inside Weiyang Palace.
When Mu Yun'an came in, she saw Queen Yan comforting Yuan Jiahe, whose eyes were red from crying.
Seeing her coming, Queen Yan said hurriedly: "Huihe, you came just in time. This girl has been crying for an hour. No matter how much I try to persuade her, it's no use. Come and help me persuade her."
For Empress Yan, Yuan Hao is dead when he dies. She had no feelings for him in the first place, but she has been playing the role of a loving couple for so many years, and now she is finally free.
But Yuan Jiahe is different. After all, she is her father, and she was pampered and raised by Yuan Hao.
Mu Yun'an came over and said: "Jiahe, you should put away your sadness. Something happened to your brother, the prince. When I came here, I saw the prince being escorted away by the guards."
"What?"
Queen Yan was startled, stood up in a hurry and asked, "What's going on?"
Mu Yun'an said: "It was His Majesty's Dragon Guard. His Majesty died suddenly and the Dragon Guard has taken control of the entire palace. And His Majesty left an imperial edict during his lifetime. If he dies without reason, the Crown Prince will be detained pending trial for treason."
Queen Yan narrowed her eyes: "Dragon-protecting hidden guards? I have heard of this. It is said that His Majesty has raised a group of elite hidden guards in order to prevent anyone from trying to usurp the throne.
I originally thought this was just a rumor, but I didn’t expect it to be true. Your Majesty really thinks deeply about it!”
She couldn't help but sneered coldly. Sure enough, the emperor's heart was unfathomable, and he still left such a mess after his death.
Mu Yun'an sighed: "Your Majesty's death is strange. Now the entire palace is under the control of the Dragon Guard. If the hidden guard has any rebellious intentions, then..."
Although she did not finish her words, both Yan Jingxuan and Yuan Jiahe knew the consequences of the matter. If His Majesty was just an accident, then the Crown Prince could successfully ascend the throne. Otherwise, there would be turmoil in the palace.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the palace maid hurriedly ran in and said: "Mother, it's not good, a group of guards came outside and surrounded our Weiyang Palace.
It is said that until the matter of His Majesty’s death is investigated clearly, no one is allowed to leave the palace gate, otherwise they will be shot without mercy.”
Queen Yan's complexion changed greatly when she heard this, and she shouted angrily: "Do they want to rebel?"
Mu Yun'an advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Let's just wait and see what happens."
Queen Yan also knew that now was not the time to be angry. At this time, she couldn't act recklessly. She took a deep breath to calm down her anger.
They were anxiously waiting for news in the room. After about an hour, someone finally came, but it was someone from the hidden guard: "Xuan Tong, please ask the Queen to move to the main hall to hear the trial."
Empress Yan raised her eyebrows. She straightened her collar calmly, raised her head and said, "I would like to see who is this Commander Xuan, who is so majestic?"
She waved her sleeves, turned around and walked out of the palace door.
