After everyone left, Yang Chuxia returned home with the children.
"Mom, is Dad in great danger now?" Yangyang asked anxiously, "I just heard them say Dad is in prison."
Not only did he hear it, everyone heard it.
"The situation is still uncertain." Yang Chuxia shook her head, "But remember what Mom told you, alright?"
"Alright!" Lele nodded, "Donāt worry Mom, no matter what happens, my brother and I will take good care of Yueyue and Qingqing."
"Yes, Mom trusts you." Yang Chuxia hugged the children, "Now do what youāre supposed to do, once the secret passage is ready, Iāll send you away."
"Mom, what about you?"
Yang Chuxia didnāt say anything, she stroked Leleās head, lost in thought.
"Mom, I actually think we can wait a little." Lele said, "He is guarding us but hasnāt confined us, things are already much better."
"Yes, Mom knows."
Listening to Leleās words, she suddenly thought, Ye Yi and the others havenāt sent any news yet. Although the mansion is heavily guarded, itās not that hard for them to come and go.
Soon night fell, and Yang Chuxia first went to the main courtyard, then returned to the bamboo courtyard to change into a black night outfit.
She planned to break into the prison to see Ye Ziāan; otherwise, she wouldnāt be at ease.
That they were captured without a fight was somewhat unexpected to her.
Having tied the mask securely, she flicked the silver thread in her hand, opened the window, and jumped out.
Except that as she reached the back door, someone jumped down from a tree near the wall.
"Who?" Without thinking, Yang Chuxia swung the silver thread.
"Madam, itās Ye Yi!"
The person was startled by her, but as soon as they heard her voice, they responded immediately.
"Come with me!" When they reached the back room near the door, "Whatās going on? Whatās the situation outside now?"
"This morning during the court assembly, Prince Le suddenly appeared in the Golden Throne Hall, revealing a lot of the Emperorās secrets. Eventually, the Emperor was forced to abdicate, Her Highness Noble Princess Consort was killed by Prince Le, Prince Ping was stabbed to death by the Emperor, and young Prince Zhuang and others were captured. All of the Emperorās concubines in the harem, as well as the minor princes, were imprisoned except for the Concubine of High Rank who remains missing."
"That Prince Ping is not the Emperorās biological child." Ye Yi continued, "Sir said the current situation with Prince Ning and the Emperor has become a stalemate, itās not the right time for an all-out clash, so please be patient."
"Alright, I understand." Yang Chuxia nodded, "Is there any problem inside with Sir?"
"No, I just came out of the prison."
"Alright, I understand."
After passing on the message, Ye Yi left.
Back inside the house, Yang Chuxia was still very worried about Ye Ziāan. Even though there was news, not seeing him in person unsettled her.
The next day, Yang Chuxia went to the door to have a look; the guards seemed to have increased, making her feel uneasy, considering if Ye Yiās infiltration was discovered by them.
What puzzled her was, although they guarded Prince Anās Mansion, they caused no trouble, merely prohibiting communication with the outside while daily necessities were specially delivered.
What puzzled her even more was Prince Leās demeanor.
For three days, Prince Le came to Prince Anās Mansion every single day, Yang Chuxia initially thought it was for Yang Dongxue, but he never asked a thing about her during his visits.
