Inside the palace.
The Empress Dowager looked quietly at the old cat curled up beside her and smiled faintly: "What's wrong?"
The aunt beside her whispered, "Prince Xuan Qing is dying."
The last time, the imperial guard sent by the Emperor to assassinate Han Yan ended up dying at the hands of Fu Yun Xi, who also blocked a knife for Han Yan. This knife might not have been a serious injury in the past, but it was adding insult to injury now. Fu Yun Xi's body could no longer withstand such an ordeal.
"The Emperor will only blame all the faults on Zhuang Han Yan, and Fu Yun Xi will only resent the Emperor. Let him resent his brother like this," the Empress Dowager stroked the old cat's smooth fur: "I have seen a lot of royal family affections, but they are always selfish."
The aunt said: "Then Western Rong princess... if she really cured him..."
"She's just a brainless one," the Empress Dowager waved her hand, "If he could really be cured, he would have been cured long ago. The Prince is a stubborn child. I have watched him grow up since he was a child. He won't accept it."
"My Queen, what should we do now..." the aunt still seemed a little worried.
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly: "Now? They'll just have to get in, and then this matter will be over. It's time for our country to change." When she said this, her face suddenly became ferocious, and her eyes became fierce. The old cat screamed and scratched the back of the Empress Dowager's hand with one claw. Immediately, a long red mark appeared.
The Empress Dowager was not angry, but gently called 'Mimi' to tease it. The cat's arched back gradually curled up, hesitated for a moment, and finally approached the Empress Dowager, raised its face and rubbed its head on the back of her hand. The Empress Dowager gave a look, and the frightened palace maids around her hurried over to pick up the cat.
"Kill it," the woman in bright yellow ordered without a trace of emotion. She no longer had the gentle look she had when she called the cat just now.
"Yes," the maid shuddered slightly, then quickly carried the cat out of the room.
The Empress Dowager stroked the red marks on the back of her hand, a cold smile escaped her lips, anyone who dared to hurt her would definitely pay the price. It was like this more than ten years ago, and it is still the same more than ten years later.

Tonight, the guards at the prison were all asleep, and no one knew what had happened. There was not a single sound. Han Yan looked at Zhuo Qi, who was dressed in black, and felt helpless: "Why did you knock them all out?" This would only make people more suspicious.
Zhuo Qi said innocently: "If we don't knock them all out, how can we guarantee that everything will be safe? Look at the power of our Western Rong's incense, they won't wake up in less than three hours."
It was already dawn in three hours. She was afraid that the news that someone had visited the prison last night would spread in the capital the next day, but she couldn't care less about it now. Han Yan jumped down from the top and said, "Find someone first."
Everyone in the prison was fainted by the smoke, and it was particularly difficult to find someone. You couldn't just call a person's name and ask her to answer. Zhuo Qi walked in front, and Han Yan looked carefully at each one until Zhuo Qi called out, "Is this it?"
Han Yan frowned and walked over quickly. It was a woman with disheveled hair, lying on her back on the ground, her face covered in dirt. Han Yan carefully identified the familiar clothes. Although they were torn to shreds, there were still some clues.
