With that, he lifted the curtain and Lord Jing arrived.

The two of them were both lords, but the Xuanyuan Kingdom was stronger than Great Xia. Moreover, Xuanyuan Ce was from an older generation compared to Shangguan Pu, so the other party greeted him first.

Shen Yijia exploded when she heard this voice. It was difficult for her to resist the urge to go out and beat him up.

!!

Xuanyuan Ce nodded coldly and said, “Can I go in now?”

Shangguan Pu paused and cupped his hands. “An assassin appeared in the palace today. For the safety of the emperor, if there’s nothing important…”

“I have something important to discuss with your emperor.” Xuanyuan Ce got out of the carriage and pointed at the two masked guards behind him. “Catch your assassins. I have someone to protect me. It won’t affect you.”

Shangguan Pu glanced at the two guards calmly and said with a troubled expression, “What a coincidence. My father is unwell today.”

Xuanyuan Ce said, “That’s good. I’ve been hosted by Great Xia for so long, so I should visit the emperor of Great Xia when he’s sick. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be too rude?”

Shangguan Pu was speechless.

Was the prince of the Xuanyuan Kingdom so bad at reading people’s moods?

He took a deep breath. “To be honest, my father is actually injured and is still unconscious. Why don’t…”

In any case, this matter would spread soon. As long as this person was still in the capital, he would find out. There was no way to hide it.

Xuanyuan Ce suddenly understood and said considerately, “It’s fine. I’ll just take a look. I won’t disturb your emperor’s recuperation.”

He looked like he had to enter the palace to see the emperor today. Shangguan Pu knew that he couldn’t stop him, so he could only bring them in.

Along the way, they saw the imperial guards passing by from time to time. They seemed to be looking for someone. Any eunuch or palace maid they encountered on the way had to be stopped and checked.

Shen Yijia’s first reaction was that they were looking for Song Jingchen.

Could it be that her beautiful husband had resisted and escaped?

However, Shen Yijia kept feeling that this wasn’t something Song Jingchen would do. She was extremely frustrated. She had entered the palace, but how was she going to escape the gazes of so many people and find Song Jingchen?

“What assassin is so powerful that so many people can’t catch him?” Xuanyuan Ce asked curiously.

The corners of Shangguan Pu’s mouth twitched. “They’re just petty criminals. They have long been caught. However, I was worried that there were still accomplices, so I got someone to search for them carefully.”

It was obvious that he wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him, so Xuanyuan Ce stopped asking.

The group arrived at Yangxin Hall. It was already surrounded by the imperial guards. Apart from the imperial guards, there were also concubines dressed in red and green guarding the door. All of them were crying with red eyes. Those who didn’t know better would think that the emperor had passed away.

As soon as Shen Yijia walked in, she smelled ginger.

She looked at the handkerchiefs in the hands of the concubines. One handkerchief might not be so obvious. Dozens of handkerchiefs added up to…

It was a little like soaking in ginger tea.

Shangguan Pu frowned and looked at Eunuch Deng, who was guarding the door. “Father is injured and needs to recuperate. Send someone to send the ladies back.”

His voice was not soft. At least all the palace concubines present heard it. The sorrowful cries instantly fell silent.

It was fine if he didn’t let them in, but they couldn’t even cry?

Eunuch Deng wiped his sweat and swung his horsetail whisk to stand in the middle of the door. “Your Majesties, please.”

At the same time, more than ten powerful eunuchs stood up.

The meaning was obvious. Should they leave on their own or let someone carry them?

The consorts also cared about their reputations. If they were carried back, they would not be able to survive in the harem in the future. More than half of the concubines knew the facts. They bowed in the direction of Yangxin Hall and left with their maidservants.

A small portion of them still wanted to struggle after entering the palace, but faced with Shangguan Pu’s domineering attitude, they could only leave reluctantly.

“I’m not leaving. Heng’er isn’t in the capital. I want to be filial to his father on his behalf.”

It was Lord Rui’s biological mother, Consort Shu.

Among the concubines present, she was the only one with a son who had become an adult and was conferred the title of “lord”. In other words, only her son had the possibility of fighting for that position.

The others either had nothing to do, or they only had a son who had not come of age, or daughters. Naturally, they were not as confident as her.
