e up, she glared at Mo Yunjing beside her, huffing, "Tell me the truth, did you ask Yunliu to buy yesterday's pastries"For God's sake, if he dares to say that, she'll quit and leave. She even thought...Of course, I'm afraid.

Because I knew this trip to the palace was fraught with danger.

So Xiaoqin must have been panicked.

But, thinking that this time she was facing Ye 21 together, the fear in her heart inexplicably dissipated a lot.

After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly curved her lips into a smile and shook her head at Ye 2, "With my husband here, I am not afraid."

Ye 2 also laughed, reaching out to pinch her face, "Alright, then let's go into the palace together. Whether it's good luck or bad luck, we'll only know when we get there."

When the master and mistress of the house truly decided to enter the palace, both the beams and joists in the house grew anxious.

Xiaoliang couldn't help but speak up again, "But for an adult to enter the palace like this is too dangerous. What if the emperor..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of," Ye 2 interrupted his next words, "No matter what the Emperor wants to do, we meet force with force and water with earth. Just stay calm."

What he didn't say was that their current capabilities at the Ye Residence were insufficient.

The people of the Beijang Prince's Mansion were too busy to worry about anything else.

Xiaoqin's natal home, the Anle Houfu, had no power in its hands.

At this point, the emperor could do anything he wanted to them, and they had no way to resist.

They had no choice but to face it head-on.

So what's there to be afraid of

At worst, he and Xiaoqin would die in the palace.

And he couldn't just run away from the capital with Xiaoqin right now.

Even if he had that idea, it would be impossible to carry out.

Now, the only one who can help them in the capital is the Beijang Royal Manor, but the people of the Beijang Royal Manor are already insufficient.

He's already overwhelmed, how could he spare anyone to escort him and Xiaoqin out of the capital

So, today regardless of the emperor's purpose, he and Xiaoqin must enter the palace to face it.

Face it, death or life is unknown. But attempting to flee the capital at this moment would definitely be a dead end.

Knowing that running away was a dead end, he certainly wouldn't leave with Xiaoqin.

After entering the palace, he would do his best to navigate the situation and protect Xiaochun.

Daliang and Xiaoliang saw Ye 2 had made up their mind. The two of them clearly still wanted to say something, but Ye 2 had already raised their hand, "Alright, no need to say more. It's just a visit to the palace, you don't have to think too much about it."

"You all go out and prepare first. My wife and I will change our clothes first."

Yè 2 had already said so, Dàliáng and Xiǎoliáng couldn't be persuaded, they could only turn around and leave in disappointment.

Xiao Qin was originally afraid, and she also knew that this time entering the palace, there would definitely be nothing good.

But with Ye 2 by her side, she suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

After the big beams and small beams left, she looked up at Ye 2 with a smile on her lips, "Husband, let me help you change your clothes."

>"... " Ye 2 raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Not shy today"

His eyes shone brightly, gazing at her silently.

If it were any other time, she would have been too embarrassed to look him in the eye.

But today, she brazenly met his fiery gaze, a smirk playing on her lips. "You're my husband, the father of my children," she said with a hint of amusement. "What have I to be ashamed of"

Clearly, he didn't expect her to say that. Ye 2 let out a chuckle, "Well then, I'll trouble you, Madam."

After all, they were going into the palace and couldn't afford to dawdle.

The two of them quickly went to change their clothes.

Although Xiaoqin said she would help Ye2 change, Ye2 ended up helping her put on her clothes first before they both changed into their official robes.

Xiao Qin helped him straighten his coat and tie his belt before looking up at him properly.

Perhaps sensing the danger ahead, knowing full well that anything could happen at any moment, Xiaoqin decided to blurt out everything she had been thinking:

"My husband, you are the most important person in my heart. So please protect yourself and no matter what happens, always take good care of yourself, okay"

Ye 2 had always been clever and naturally understood what Xiao Qin meant.

She was afraid that after entering the palace, the emperor would be embarrassed and worried that he would hurt herself to protect her, so she said this to him.

But Xiaoqin didn't know, to him she was the most important thing, more important than his own life.

So when danger really comes, he will even risk his life to protect her.

Seeing Ye Zi reply with silence, Xiao Qin blinked. “Husband, did you hear what I just said You must take good care of yourself, no matter…” Mmm~”

Xiao Qin's words were cut short, as Ye 2 bent down and captured her lips without a word.

She didn't know what to say next.

This kiss was fiercer than any before, so hot it nearly overwhelmed her.

But she still raised her hands, instinctively wrapping them around his waist, pressing herself against him, not wanting any space between them.

Embraced by such a fervent kiss, a tingling sensation coursed through her body, softening her legs until she could barely stand.

"I don't know how long it took, but Ye 2 finally let go of her. He gently cupped her face and smiled, 'My wife, don't worry, we'll be fine.'"

Xiaoqin's head swam from the kiss, and she subconsciously nodded.

After Ye2 let go of her, he reached out and helped smooth down her slightly disheveled clothes. Then, he took her hand and walked out together.

Even if the palace today is as perilous as a dragon's lair, they must venture in.

……

Leaving Ye Mansion, the carriage sped towards the Imperial Palace.

Their carriage couldn't enter the palace. Upon reaching the palace gate, Ye 2 and Xiao Qin had to get out of the carriage and walk to the imperial study where the emperor was at that moment.

After entering the palace, Xiaoqin remained silent, silently looking up at everything in the imperial palace.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since she last entered the palace.

Since Ye Xiaoming's death, people in the capital have been eager to stay as far away from her as possible.

No matter what kind of banquet the imperial court ladies held, they never sent invitations to her residence in Anle Houfu, and she had no chance to enter the palace.

I thought she'd never get another chance to enter the palace, but here I am today.

Looking at the bluestones engraved with various patterns in the palace, her icy eyes narrowed.

The palace is indeed resplendent, but behind this splendor lies the unknown sacrifice of countless lives.

......

The two walked for a while before reaching the Imperial Study. After entering and bowing to the emperor, Xiaoqin tried her best to minimize her presence.

But the emperor's gaze still fell upon her.

Besides the Emperor, there was also one woman sitting by his side.

Ye 2's eyes flashed with killing intent when she saw the woman.

He certainly knew who this woman was.

With the powerful intelligence network of Qingyun Pavilion at his disposal, he had long known that there was a woman named Zhi'er serving the emperor.

This girl resembles the North Border King's biological mother very closely, and was once used by the emperor as a substitute for the late empress.

And Shuangshuang, the one who wanted to harm Xiaoqin, was this woman and the emperor's daughter.

I'm afraid this woman is behind the fact that he and Xiaoqin were summoned to the palace today.

But what is she trying to dorighten others, but An Xue Tang didn't bat an eyelid."An Xuetang, do you think you're too big for your britches You truly believe you can keep the position of Northern Frontier Princess without my per...
