De Fei's face was well-maintained and soon swelled up.

Yun Si hit her about a dozen times, and Jiang Yi said coldly: "Stop."

Yun Si stopped and quickly retreated to the side of the Phoenix Seal.

Looking at De Fei again, her fair and beautiful face was swollen and blue, the corners of her mouth were cracked, and blood was spreading down the corners of her mouth, looking extremely embarrassed and terrible.

"De Fei." Jiang Yi's eyes were cold and sneerful, "These two days, this palace and the emperor have been acting with you, which may have given you an illusion. You got into trouble because of Yan Li, and you and your son have the final say in this Jin State? This palace advises you to go back to the palace and look at your embarrassed appearance in the mirror."

After saying this, she retracted her gaze: "Get going."

The eunuch carried the Phoenix Seal and continued to move forward, ignoring De Fei who was humiliating herself.

De Fei clenched her hands tightly, with hatred in her eyes.

When Yan Yun heard the news that Concubine De was slapped in the face, his face froze: "The Queen ordered someone to attack my mother?"

The nanny beside Concubine De bowed her head: "Yes."

Yan Yun's face became gloomy, and his heart suddenly panicked.

His first reaction was not to worry about his mother, but to think that Jiang Yi's tough and cruel methods were not normal.

His father and the Queen were almost in a semi-confinement state at the moment, and they were in a difficult situation. How could she tear her face with her mother now?

Did the Queen suddenly explode because she couldn't bear it, or did they get some news?

Thinking of the general who had just hurried into the palace to announce the general, Yan Yun's uneasy premonition became stronger and stronger, and he felt that something had been out of his control.

What happened?

"Come here." Yan Yun suppressed his uneasiness and turned around coldly, "Follow me to the Qinzheng Palace."

If it doesn't work, just go all out--

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" A man came flying from outside the palace and almost fell off the horse, "Oh no! The... Princess is back!"

What?

It was like a bolt from the blue, a thunderbolt struck.

Yan Yun was hit so hard that he felt dizzy and almost lost his balance: "What did you say?"

He took two steps at a time and stepped forward to grab the clothes of the person who came: "What did you just say? Say it again!"

The person looked terrified and said incoherently: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is not dead. She... She is back alive and well. The private soldiers of the Princess's Mansion went out of the city to pick her up, and... and more than a thousand people under the command of Captain Fan and Captain Hou were locked outside the city gate. They can't get in, and people in the city can't get out. Your Highness, Your Highness... What should we do? The Princess will definitely not let us go..."

The guards on duty in the capital all changed their expressions.

Yan Yun's face turned pale, and he let go of his hand in a daze. His face was stiff and pale, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Yan Li is back?

How could she come back? Shouldn't she have died outside?

So many spies and assassins were sent out, and they were ordered to kill Yan Li at all costs. Why could she still return to the imperial city alive and well?

Yan Li knew that someone was trying to assassinate her, so she concealed the truth and deliberately spread false information to make people think that she was really assassinated, in order to paralyze her and let her relax her guard?

Why didn't the spies find any real news about her?

"Your Highness." The Jingji Guard who was kneeling on the ground to report the news raised his head tremblingly, "What should we do?"

Yan Yun came back to his senses, what should he do?

He turned his head and looked at his subordinates who were guarding the palace gate tightly. He almost lost his reason and judgment. In a panic, he thought of several solutions as quickly as possible.

If we lead people to rush to the Qinzheng Palace now, kill the father and the queen, and take Yan Li down on the pretext of treason and rebellion as soon as she enters the palace, what is the chance of success?

Can the Jingji Guards who have been won over defeat the Imperial Guards, wipe out the thousands of elite soldiers in the Princess's Mansion, and successfully kill Yan Li?

Yan Yun closed his eyes, it was impossible.

Because the premise of doing so is that all officials in the court are willing to listen, and the Jingji Guards under the control of his subordinates are a match for the thousands of private soldiers in the Princess's Mansion - no, not thousands, but also those Jingji Guards in the suburban military camps who have not been bribed, they will definitely follow Yan Li into the capital.

The more Yan Yun thought about it, the more desperate he became.

I am no match for Yan Li. The elite soldiers in the Princess's Mansion are Yan Li's exclusive soldiers. They are loyal to Yan Li, well-trained, and extremely powerful.

I have no chance of winning. If the two sides fight, Yan Li will definitely kill me.

So this road is not feasible.

What if I go to the Qinzheng Palace to plead guilty now?

If I tell my father now that Yan Li has returned safely, and the treacherous people who sneaked into the palace have been eliminated by me, and all the things that happened before were done without reason, will my father believe me?

Will you believe that I have no intention of rebellion?

Yan Yun struggled hard in his heart. If he took a step forward, he would die. If he took a step back, he might live or die.

How should he choose?

This is the disadvantage of not having military power in my hands. The soldiers who were temporarily recruited are not reliable at all. They are all for the benefit, and they are willing to listen to Yan Yun because he promised to give them benefits.

But once death is above the benefit, they will definitely put down their weapons and will never fight to the end for Yan Yun.

Because they are all families, they have old and young, and it is impossible for them to bet on the lives of their entire family or even nine clans, just for a rebellion that is impossible to win.

The more I think about it, the more desperate I am. This is a game with no chance of winning.

Yan Yun took a deep breath, turned around and ordered: "The princess is a blessing to Jin, and she is blessed by heaven. Her safe return is a blessing to Jin. Come! Follow me out of the palace to welcome the princess back!" ŴŴŴ.

The guards on duty at the left side of the palace gate were surprised to hear this, and turned to look at the prince.

The tense emotions of hearing the princess' return finally relaxed at this time.

"Prince is right!" Suddenly someone shouted, "The princess is a blessing to Jin, and she is blessed by heaven. No treacherous villain can do anything to the princess!"

Yan Yun's face turned green, but he had to put on a smile to suppress his anger.

"Prince Gao heard that the treacherous ministers in the palace were planning to rebel, so he took precautions in advance, just waiting for the return of the princess. Prince Gao's loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism are admired by us!"

"Live a thousand years, long live the princess!"

"Live a thousand years, long live the princess!"

"May the prosperity of the Jin Kingdom last for thousands of years!"

"May the prosperity of the Jin Kingdom last for thousands of years!"

The shouts were so loud that they shook the sky.
