When Chi Yi and Xiao Lianyi received the news and rushed over to Yi Yun Court, the guards were already cleaning up Yi Yun Court.

“Yangyang… How is my Yangyang?” Xiao Lianyi’s lips trembled, and the words wavered.

Chi Yi hugged his wife, who was in a mess, and comforted her, “The head guard said that Yangyang is fine thanks to a hero.”

It was just that this hero did not leave his name, or else he would have given him a generous gift to thank him.

Xiao Lianyi’s eyes turned red as tears started to fall uncontrollably, “Then let’s go and check on Yangyang…”

She was terrified when she heard that the suicide assassins came to assassinate Yangyang.

It wasn’t easy for her to find her daughter…

The moment they entered the house and saw Chi Yang, Chi Yi, and Xiao Lianyi both heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiao Lianyi cried as she pounced over and hugged Chi Yang tightly. Her shoulders were trembling as she sobbed.

Chi Yang was stunned.

But it was not too visible to the untrained eye. Chi Yang subconsciously raised her hand and patted Xiao Lianyi’s back.

“Yangyang, do you know who sent these men?” Chi Yi asked.

Chi Yang thought of what Shen Juan had said back then.

So she answered, “The kind-hearted savior said they were suicide warriors from Youzhou.”

All the men of sacrifice who had come tonight had been killed. Even if they were alive, it would be difficult to get anything out of them.

He didn’t expect that the chivalrous man would tell Yangyang any information.

“I’m afraid that this matter has many implications…” Chi Yi was silent for a long time before he spoke.

Chi Yang was puzzled.

Chi Yi looked at Chi Yang and started talking about the past.

It turned out that Yanzhou was guarded by a King with a different surname, just like the current Yan Province.

Xie Zhuowen, the King of Youzhou, and Xiao Zhenting, the Ming Emperor, were good friends. It was Xie Zhuowen who had protected Xiao Zhenting’s position. After that, Xie Zhuowen was afraid that Xiao Zhenting would feel threatened by him, so he married his only sister, Xie Shaolan, to Xiao Zhenting.

Xie Shaolan was the biological mother of the Second Prince, Xiao Yuanyou.

It was just that Xiao Zhenting already had his first wife, the current Empress Zhao Jinse, so Xie Shaolan was conferred the title of Imperial Consort.

After entering the palace, Xie Shaolan was depressed. After giving birth to Xiao Yuanyou, she passed away. She had been married to Xiao Zhenting for less than a year.

The Second Prince was born weak. The imperial physician only found out that the Second Prince was poisoned after several inquiries. This poison was brought out from his mother’s womb.

After Xie Zhuowen found out, he rushed all the way from Youzhou to Jingdou and asked Xiao Zhenting for an explanation.

Xiao Zhenting only had two women, one was the Empress and the other was the Imperial Consort. If the Imperial Consort was pregnant with a boy, he would be the eldest son.

Now that the Imperial Consort was dead, and the Second Prince was weak and sickly.

It went without saying who did it.

What Xie Zhuowen wanted was to cripple the empress.

However, Xiao Zhenting and Zhao Jinse had a deep friendship. When Zhao Jinse said that he did not do this, Xiao Zhenting believed him.

In the end, Xie Zhuowen and Xiao Zhenting severed their ties, and the former returned to Youzhou.

After that, he did not step into Jingdou for more than ten years, but he would often send people to cause trouble in the Palace.

For example, the last time Xiao Lianyi entered the palace, she did not return to Chi Manor with Chi Yang because she had found a letter between the palace maids and Youzhou in Weiyang Palace. Xiao Lianyi and the Empress had gone to deal with it.

Originally, Xiao Zhenting should have quickly gotten rid of the King of Youzhou, but because of guilt, he had not made up his mind.

After he finished explaining the history, Chi Yi let out a long sigh.

“I just don’t know why he decided to come to the Chi family and hurt Yangyang.”

“I will inform His Majesty of this when I enter the palace tomorrow,”

Chi Yi decided.

At this moment, Xiao Lianyi had also recovered from her sadness, “Then you must persuade His Majesty to make up his mind.”

This was a matter between her Emperor Brother and Xie Zhuowen. It had nothing to do with her Yangyang. She was shocked for no reason.

This matter had been delayed for so many years. There should have been a result long ago.
