Zi Wei protected Su Yingxue and retreated into Su Dingheng's courtyard.
Chu Yihan quickly approached Su Yingxue, grasping her hand. "Are you okay?"
Su Yingxue shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
"Your Highness, the emperor has sent Lan Ling."
A hint of concern shadowed Su Yingxue's expression, fearing that the emperor might use this opportunity to complicate things for Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan pulled her close, his touch radiating immense pressure that seemed to paralyze everyone in the courtyard.
Lan Ling's expression remained cold. "By order of the emperor, the Ninth Prince trespassed into the prison and took away prisoners. You are to be immediately brought to the imperial palace for detention. Su Yingxue, accused of poisoning her father, has violated family ethics and shall be executed on the spot."
Upon hearing Lan Ling's words, Liu Shulan revealed a hint of joy. Su Yingxue's good days were finally over!
