The Shadow Guards entered the Imperial Palace using horse-drawn carriages because they were carrying large numbers of people. The shadow guard showed Empress Dowager's shadow guards token this makes all shadow guards along with horse-drawn carriages full of humans enter easily inside the Imperial Palace.
The horse carriage carried by the shadow guards continued to be ridden to the area of the Empress Dowager's Palace complex. The importance of the task given by Empress Dowager was to make the horse-carriage that were usually stopped at the Imperial Palace front gates can be brought inside the Imperial Palace where Empress Dowager was located.
Shadow guard's Captain received news from his superior that the Emperor and Yu Wang still staying at the Empress Dowager Palace to interrogate the maid who was trying to poison Empress Song. Their arrival will all be awaited by the two most powerful men in the Zi Empire. They need to send these people faster to them.
"Emperor, the shadow guards who were sent to rescue the hostages and bring the conspirators of Concubine Ming's men have arrived."
The eunuch who serves Empress Dowager and is the leader of all the shadow guards who protect Empress Dowager gives news to the Emperor who is enjoying dinner with His Imperial Family. Yu Wang, who had a strong hearing, listened to the eunuch's whisper to his Imperial Brother. Glancing at the Emperor, he nodded in response to the question that the Emperor throws on him.
"Lord Husband, why have you stopped eating?" Su Qingyi, who heard Eunuch's whispered words to the Emperor, chose not to care. This young woman had no intention of meddling with the matter that Emperor and Yu Wang investigating.
Yu Wang glanced aside full of gentle feelings at his wife. Yu Wang did not want his gentle and innocent wife to know about the evils in the Inner Palace that he was investigating with the Emperor. He would help His Imperial Brother take care of this after dinner with his wife and send Su Qingyi back to Yu Wang's manor.
Having made up his mind, Yu Wang returned to continue eating together with his wife. He did not care about the urgency that emanated from the gaze that Emperor had thrown at him. Realizing that Yu Wang was not going to go straight to the investigation with him, Yu Fengyan sighed in annoyance and finally continued to enjoy dinner together with his wife. Empress Dowager who paid attention to the interaction of her two sons could only be amused. Her two sons seemed to care deeply about their respective wives, just as their Emperor's father used to be to her.
Remembering her husband, who was the previous Emperor, made Empress Dowager feel sad. They were both childhood sweethearts, but because they had to guard the throne of the Emperor of Zi Empire, they both had to live in a painful love for both of them. Seeing the lives of her two sons now, Empress Dowager is relieved that they will not experience the romance that happened to her and her husband.
Yu Wang stood in front of the front gate of the Imperial Palace to send Su Qingyi on a horse carriage belonging to Yu Wang's mansion. Su Qingyi stared softly at her husband who seemed reluctant to send her back alone.
"Husband, are you going to spend the night at the Imperial Palace?"
"This husband thinks so. The Emperor won't let me go easily if the matter involving the Empress hasn't been resolved by the two of us."
"Don't be too tired, husband. This wife won't be happy to see you too tired later. "
"Don't worry, this husband won't want to upset my wife." Yu Wang chuckled at his wife's complaint.
Su Qingyi got on the horse carriage after saying goodbye to her husband who was forced to spend the night at the Imperial Palace because of the case sent by the Emperor. This young woman could feel her husband's gentle gaze from behind her that never left her body.
Smiling heartily feeling his love for her, Su Qingyi opened the curtain of the horse carriage and sat in the horse carriage that Yu Wang comfortably decorated after the man became her real husband with Su Qingyi. The handsome man didn't want his weak wife to feel uncomfortable traveling in the horse-drawn carriage he had previously owned. After becoming intimate with his wife and starting to have feelings for Su Qingyi, Yu Fengyao always tried to make his wife's daily life very comfortable. He was happy to be able to spoil his wife.
"Why did you take so long when you only need to accompany your wife to ride the horse carriage parked in front of the Imperial Palace gates?" The accusing voice of his Imperial Brother made Yu Wang feel like leaving the Emperor to investigate the case involving Empress Song himself and return to Yu's Mansion to be able to hug his wife.
"Does Imperial Brother want to throw this younger brother back into Yu's mansion by saying accusingly like that to this prince?" Yu Fengyao's satirical words made the Emperor, who still wanted to accuse his younger brother, speechless.
"You-Fine, this Emperor won't corner you anymore. This Emperor is afraid of your threats! Come on, help your older brother to investigate Concubine Ming's black deeds."
"Don't worry and hurrying me like that. This prince has sent Weishi-yi to interrogate Concubine Ming's men."
"Alright then, you know that your Imperial brother was just upset because that woman involved your Imperial sister-in-law in her nasty tricks."
"Hmph, Imperial Brother, do you think this prince doesn't notice your annoyance? If it wasn't for looking at the face of the Imperial sister-in-law who was involved in this problem, Imperial brother thought this prince wanted to stay at the Imperial Palace and leave my wife to sleep alone?"
Listening to Yu Wang's complaints made Yu Fengyan chuckle. This man knew that his younger brother, even though he complained and looked annoyed, was very concerned about his and his wife's safety. Yu Fengyan still clearly remembered Yu Wang's earlier concern for his life as a prince.
To make him and their mother more protected in the Imperial Palace intricts, young Yu Wang decided to go to the battlefield with the generals of the Jing clan and make many merits on the battlefield just to become a strong backing for him and Empress Dowager. Yu Wang also did not leave the battlefield after he became the great leader in the military when the battle for the throne happen because Yu Wang did not want to be forced to compete with Yu Fengyan in the battle but only protected him in that bloody battle. So, for Yu Fengyan, the ones the Emperor believe the most not his wife or Imperial Mother but his younger brother Yu Wang.
