Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

The capital city of Shangjing is destined not to be peaceful tonight.

During this rare New Year holiday, every household keeps their doors closed and no one has the slightest intention of going out to join in the fun.

The reason was simple. Just looking at the guards running back and forth outside with solemn expressions on their faces, even if they didn't know what was going on, they knew that things were going to change in the palace tonight.

People can celebrate the New Year at any time, but they only have one life. Ordinary people like them should just stay at home. If they accidentally offend some important person, not only will their lives be in danger, but their homes may be confiscated and their entire families may be exterminated.

At this time, the Wei Mansion was brightly lit.

The whole family gathered in the lobby, but their faces were as pale as death, and the silence was suffocating.

There were delicacies from land and sea on the table, but no one touched the food, as if they were waiting for something.

"Mom, Grandfather, Dad and eldest brother haven't come back yet. Did something happen?" After a long while, the third son of the Wei family couldn't hold it in any longer and looked at his mother anxiously.

Madam Wei touched her child and turned to look at the loyal servant beside her: "Is everything done?"

The loyal servant bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "Madam, it has been done."

"Hmm..." Mrs. Wei responded absentmindedly while holding her child.

Before entering the palace today, her father had told her that if they had not returned after 3 p.m. and had not sent anyone back with any news, he should have the family's assassins take Bowen's two newborn children and leave the capital as quickly as possible, hiding their identities and preserving the last bloodline of the Wei family.

When my father said this, he had already made plans for the worst.

It was already past 3 p.m., but there was still no news from the palace. The Wei family was afraid that tonight...

"Wu'er!" Mrs. Wei was reluctant to let her little son, who knew nothing, fall into this unexpected disaster. She quickly grabbed his hand and said anxiously, "Pack your belongings and leave through the back door now. Hide outside for one night and leave early tomorrow morning..."

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, the gate of the Wei family was slammed open by the palace guards, and soon the entire Wei family was surrounded like an iron barrel.

"I am here on the orders of His Majesty to search the Wei Mansion. Please stay where you are and do not move around." The chief guard stepped out calmly, bowed slightly, and then waved to his subordinates behind him, "Search!"

"Yes!"

Everyone in the Wei family: "..."

The same scene was also played out in the residences of several other important officials and princes in the capital.

The guards coming and going were not polite at all. They seemed to want to turn these people's homes upside down, not missing any details.

Nothing can withstand scrutiny, especially when Emperor Kang Yuan was determined to catch the murderer, some flaws would be exposed.

Moreover, even in the prince's mansion, not everyone is of one mind. At least the fourth prince had already laid a fatal fuse for himself early on...

"Master Guard! I have evidence! I have evidence that proves that the Fourth Prince intends to rebel. Please save me, Master Guard!"

Jiang Daiyu was originally imprisoned in the most remote courtyard of the mansion by the Fourth Prince with injuries all over his body. When he saw the guards coming in to search, he immediately rushed forward regardless of everything, grabbed a guard's arm and kept shouting, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
