If anything happened to him, the emperor would not let the culprit off.

Shen Yijia asked, “Did you tell him?”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips. “I didn’t find him.”

Xuanyuan Ce usually did not live in the lord’s residence. Instead, he lived in a courtyard in Goldfish Alley.

The courtyard was not far from their residence. It had been more than four hours since Xuanyuan Ce left. He should have returned long ago.

However, when he went to the courtyard to ask, the servants said that he had not returned, so he went to the lord’s residence. The result was the same.

Shen Yijia’s heart skipped a beat. She opened her mouth to ask, but the team had already stopped in front of them.

The person in the lead was a tall and mighty man. He glanced at Shen Yijia, especially at the flower bud between her eyebrows. Then, he took out a piece of rice paper and opened it. Comparing the two, he waved his hand. “Take her away.”

Immediately, a few soldiers dismounted and walked towards Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “I’ve been sitting at home, but the blame fell from the sky?”

She didn’t know what was going on, so it was impossible for her to surrender. However, before she could attack, two figures blocked her way—Song Jingchen and Ji Luo.

“There has to be a reason for this, right?” Song Jingchen said in a low voice.

The man took out a token from his pocket. “What other reason does His

Majesty need for summoning someone? Take her away.”

Actually, after entering the palace, Song Jingchen recognized at a glance that this group of people was wearing the clothes of the imperial guards of the Xuanyuan Imperial Palace.

He only said that to get information out of him, but from this person’s att.i.tude, he clearly wouldn’t say much.

Ji Luo’s fingertips moved slightly. Song Jingchen took a step forward and blocked her hand. “The person you want to take is my wife. Can you bring me along?”

“Hubby.” Shen Yijia disagreed.

Song Jingchen looked at the man on the horse without saying anything.

The leader of the imnerial guards snorted. “You’re courting death. Take them

away together.”

Ji Luo retracted his hand. “Then bring me along too.”

Song Jingchen turned around and looked at her. “Mother, you havent recovered yet. Stay at home.”

Unseen by outsiders, he mouthed the word “Plan”.

Ji Luo frowned and finally took a step back.

When the imperial guards arrived, there was a carriage behind them. It looked no different from an ordinary carriage from the outside.

When she entered, she realized that it was just an iron cage covered in a layer of skin.

Shen Yijia was so angry that she hammered it a few times. She wanted to hammer it again, but a large hand grabbed her hand.

Song Jingchen rubbed her hands and said helplessly, “You’re just hurting yourself.”

“It doesn’t hurt.” Shen Yijia snorted and asked softly, “Hubby, didn’t you say that you didn’t find that sc.u.mbag?”

Song Jingchen nodded.

“Then why didn’t you let Mother go? Oh, I understand. You didn’t want Mother to take the risk.” Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yijia thought it through and said angrily, “Then why did you follow them? I was clearly the only one they wanted to catch.”

Song Jingchen rubbed her head. “We agreed to go anywhere together.”

Shen Yijia was so touched that her eyes welled up with tears. She sighed and said, “Where do you think that sc.u.mbag went? Why did the emperor capture

The heavens could see that she had yet to cause trouble after coming to the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

Song Jingchen opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say his guess.

Shen Yijia thought that he did not know either. She sighed again and turned around to grab the iron railing with both hands. She reached out to pull open the curtain outside.

She hated sealed places like this. It reminded her of the song Da Hua often sang when she entered the laboratory.

“Iron gates, iron windows, and iron chains. With my hand on the iron window, I looked out.

How wonderful life outside was.

When will you return to my family…’

Song Jingchen shuddered. The corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at the person leaning against the iron cage and reaching out.

Where did she hear this song from? It was so strange!

The imperial guards who were riding around the carriage were speechless.

They turned in unison to look at the carriage, then silently turned away.

Shen Yijia did not know how shocking her singing was. As she sang, her tone changed.

“The curves of the moon reflect Mother’s heart.

“I searched carefully in the prison.

Don’t just feel regret and hatred.

Turn over a new leaf…

The sound of horses galloping pa.s.sed on the long street. Such a team of imperial guards was already eye-catching enough. Coupled with the faint singing, the commoners on the street stopped and looked at them.

In a room on the second floor of an inn, a woman looked at the team below and smiled. “The Yu family is really impressive..”
