"Bury him." The emperor finally spoke, his voice low and weak. As the king of a country, he had supreme power, but at this moment, he could not change the trick played by fate. Baili Ye, the former fourth prince, lost his royal status because of treason and could only be simply buried in the back mountain.

The emperor returned to Fengtian Hall alone. This hall, which symbolized his authority, now seemed particularly empty and lonely. He walked towards the dragon throne step by step, and each step seemed extremely difficult.

When he finally sat on the chair that symbolized supreme power, he closed his eyes and tears quietly fell. Although he was the master of the world, he couldn't even protect his own son. The scene before Baili Ye's death kept appearing in his mind, making him almost unable to breathe.

The old eunuch stood quietly in the distance, looking at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. He did not approach, but just silently prayed for the father who lost his son.

After Shen Siyan dealt with everything, he felt heavy-hearted. He had long foreseen Baili Ye's end, but when he saw it with his own eyes, the waves in his heart were hard to calm down. Standing in front of the Fengtian Hall, he stared at the place where the tragedy had happened for a long time, and finally turned around and left slowly.

He was anxious to see the princess because she knew where Yunzi was imprisoned. This clue was crucial to him. With a hint of anxiety, he quickened his pace. However, when he arrived at Bailiyue's palace, the old nanny told him that although the princess had woken up, she was in a bad mental state and could not communicate, and suggested that he come back another day.

Shen Siyan frowned, looked at the palace from a distance, and had no choice but to turn around and leave. In the palace, Baili Yue lay quietly on the bed, her eyes dull, as if she had lost her soul. She neither cried nor laughed, but just lay there quietly, without a trace of life. After the imperial physician examined her, he said that her body was fine, but her heart was severely traumatized.

"Princess..." The old nanny looked at Baili Yue, her heart filled with heartache.

Baili Yue seemed to have no reaction to the sounds from the outside world. She just stared at the bed curtains with empty eyes.

"Princess, please don't torture yourself like this... If you have any suffering, you can tell me or just cry it out." The old nanny wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and felt that the princess looked really pitiful.

Baili Yue still didn't respond.

"Princess, the Fourth Prince is gone... You must cherish your life and live well..."

Hearing this, Baili Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a tear quietly slid down. Her brother's dying words echoed in her ears: "Yue'er, you must live well... In the next life, we will not be royal family, but ordinary siblings. In the next life, I will definitely protect you..."

Memories flooded into Baili Yue's mind, and her tears flowed like a dam breaking, and her eyes turned red.

The old nanny sighed softly and wiped away Princess Bailiyue's tears with a handkerchief with concern.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the Su Mansion, Tao Qiming had not slept for three consecutive days and nights, concentrating on studying the strange poison on the man in black. This poison was very changeable and difficult to crack. Finally, with unremitting efforts, he found the formula for the antidote and quickly made a life-saving drug.

"Success! The antidote is ready!" Tao Qiming held the porcelain bottle, his eyes bloodshot, exhausted but energetic. He knew that his mission was far from over - he had to detoxify as soon as possible to find the whereabouts of Miss Su. With this determination, he forced himself to deliver the antidote to everyone as soon as possible.

The Su family waited anxiously. When they saw the antidote in Tao Qiming's hand, they immediately urged, "Quick, give it to that man!" Su Luoan took the antidote and carefully fed it to the dying man in black. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on this mysterious man in a coma, hoping that he could bring key clues.

Time seemed to freeze, and every second was torture. Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise: "The poison is gone! Look, his complexion has improved!" Everyone watched nervously, and saw that the man in black's complexion gradually returned to normal and his breathing became stable. Then, he twitched slightly and spit out a mouthful of black blood, proving that the poison had been completely eliminated.

Tao Qiming let out a long sigh and confirmed, "He will wake up soon." As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black slowly opened his eyes, obviously confused by everything around him. Seeing this, Su Luoan immediately grabbed the man's collar and asked sternly, "Where is your master hiding? Tell me!"

In order to prevent the man in black from committing suicide, they had already taken measures to ensure that he could not easily escape or hurt himself. At this moment, all hopes were placed on the prisoner who had just escaped danger.

The man in black was like a fish on a chopping board, powerless to resist. In order to survive, he had no choice but to reveal Kuimuzhu's hiding place.

As soon as Shen Siyan received the news from the Su family, he rushed over. As soon as he entered the door, his first words were: "Any news?"

"Yes." Su Huan replied, his eyes were cold as ice, as if the predicament had nothing to do with him. The captured people could not last a moment in front of him and confessed.

"Where's the location?" Shen Siyan asked.

"The mountain behind Yunling." Su Huan answered briefly. The mountain was not very high and was near the capital. He did not expect them to hide there.

Without any hesitation, the two immediately set out to the back mountain of Yunling to rescue Ye Yunzi. Su Huan had another goal in mind: to capture Kui Muzhu and bring him back to Kaifeng for trial. At this time, even if Kui Muzhu wanted to escape again, he was already at the end of his rope.

Shen Siyan immediately ordered his men to closely monitor all parts of the capital and to arrest any suspicious movements immediately. He led the armored troops to quickly move towards the back mountain, and Su Huan and Su Luoan followed closely behind, worried that Yunzi would encounter an accident if they were a step late. Aliang was seriously injured and could only stay at Su's house to wait for news.

The news soon reached Kui Muzhu.

"Master, Fang Qi has been arrested and he has told everything!" a subordinate reported hurriedly, his face as pale as paper.

The maid looked at Kuimuzhu anxiously: "Master, we can't stay here for long, we must leave immediately."

Time was running out, and they knew the rescue team was on their way. Kuimuzhu clenched his fists, and the scars on his face ached slightly. This was the second time he had been defeated by Kuilang, and now he had to flee like a lost dog.

"Master, let's go!" the maid urged again.

"Master, the people have already gone up the mountain..." another subordinate added.

Kui Muzhu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go." Then he fled in a hurry with a group of people. In the chaos, he did not forget to take Ye Yunzi on the carriage. Although her brows were furrowed, Ye Yunzi gradually relaxed in her heart, knowing that rescue had finally arrived.

Kuimuzhu seemed extremely nervous. It was obvious that the situation was very unfavorable to him, otherwise he would not have fled so hastily. He quickly ordered: "Let's go!" Instead of choosing the crowded streets of the capital, they turned to a steep mountain path.
