The princess regretted it.

Chapter 293 Yundou hasn’t returned yet?

After Han Shuang left, Jin An raised his eyes slightly and turned his gaze to Ye Yi. His expression was cold and firm. He ordered softly but without question: "Ye Yi, in the next period of time, you should send more people and let the other secret guards secretly pay close attention to every move of Concubine Cen and Concubine Zhang in the palace. Don't let go of any movement. I will find out the person behind this who is trying to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and stir up trouble." Her voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a hint of chill.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yi clasped his fists in salute and responded loudly, "Yes! I obey your command!" After saying this, he did not stand up immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, raised his head slightly, and looked at Princess Jin'an with a slightly hesitant look.

Jin An noticed her hesitation and raised her eyebrows, then asked softly, "Anything else? Feel free to ask."

Ye Yi quickly lowered his head again, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully, "Princess, shouldn't we send someone to keep an eye on Concubine Chun? After all, what happened tonight was too strange, and I'm afraid there will be further incidents."

"No need," Jin An's expression was as calm as before, and he looked into the distance, as if he had seen through everything. "My father will definitely send more people to her place and keep a close watch. There will be no mistakes." Her tone was firm.

When Ye Yi heard this, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said no more.

Jin An seemed to suddenly remember something, frowned slightly, and added: "Oh, right, and Princess Jiaoyu and Zhangsun Wuwang, you have to keep a close eye on them recently. These two people have sinister minds, and now that Concubine Chun's pregnancy can no longer be concealed, there's no guarantee that they won't take the opportunity to cause trouble and do some small things in secret. And you mentioned earlier that the suspicious person was injured, maybe he is related to one of them, and there's no telling what's going on." As Jin An spoke, he tapped lightly on the table with his left hand.

Ye Yi quickly responded to the order again, then stood up swiftly, retreated nimbly, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Ziyun, standing nearby, kept her eyebrows raised the entire time, her face filled with confusion. After Ye Yi disappeared, she hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked softly, "Princess, please forgive me for being so nosy, but why didn't you just have Han Shuang go and inform Commander Zuo directly? Wouldn't that be more convenient?" Her eyes were filled with confusion, and she tilted her head slightly, as if waiting for Jin An's clarification.

Upon hearing this, Jin An smiled fondly, shook his head gently, and patiently explained, "Ziyun, you don't know that the Imperial Guards are directly under the jurisdiction of my father. This is a place with strict palace rules, and no one is allowed to interfere lightly. If Han Shuang rashly goes to convey the news to Commander Zuo, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble if others know about it.

As Eunuch Fuquan is a close confidant of the Emperor, let Han Shuang pass on the news to him. He will then report it to the Emperor when the time is right. This way, the Emperor will make the most appropriate arrangements based on the situation. This will ensure accurate information reaches the Emperor while preventing us from making mistakes and causing unnecessary disturbances."

After hearing Jin'an's words, Ziyun suddenly understood. Ye Yiyi was filled with admiration, because Jin'an's words were clear and logical, showing her prudence and intelligence.

In another corner of the palace, within Jiaoyu's residence, candlelight flickered, shadows flickering, reflecting her fluctuating mood. She wore a gorgeous palace gown, her skirt trailing the ground, rustling with her hurried footsteps.

At this moment, Jiaoyu was pacing back and forth in the hall with an impatient look on her face. Every time her exquisite embroidered shoes fell, it seemed as if she was filled with anxiety and unwillingness, tapping out a rapid rhythm on the smooth floor tiles.

Suddenly, Xiangcao walked in hurriedly. She looked a little flustered. As soon as she stepped into the palace, she knelt down and saluted hurriedly.

Seeing this, Jiaoyu couldn't even wait for Xiangcao to stand up, and asked impatiently: "What happened? Was she burned to death? Where is Yundou? Have you seen her?" Her voice was sharp and urgent, and her eyes flashed with fierceness and eagerness.

Xiangcao shuddered at the sudden questioning and raised her head timidly, not daring to meet Jiaoyu's gaze. She replied in a trembling voice, "Princess, Concubine Chun has been rescued, and the imperial physician has also rushed over. I heard that she was just frightened..."

"What about the bastard in her belly?" Jiaoyu rudely interrupted Xiangcao, took a step forward, clenched her hands tightly together, stared at Xiangcao with wide eyes, and asked anxiously.

"Child...child, the child is fine!" Vanilla was so scared that her face turned pale and her voice became weaker and weaker. She uttered these words carefully, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily, like a fallen leaf in the cold wind.

"What!?" Jiaoyu was instantly enraged upon hearing this. With a fierce swipe of her hand, she swept the neatly arranged tea set onto the table. Instantly, the crisp sound of shattering porcelain echoed throughout the hall, and tea splashed everywhere, echoing the shattered plans and the overflowing resentment within her heart. "This little bastard is truly unlucky!" Jiaoyu resentfully declared.

Xiangcao was frightened by Jiaoyu's anger and fell to her knees with a plop. She lay on the ground, not daring to make a sound, her body shaking like a sieve.

Afterwards, Jiaoyu suppressed her anger and asked, "She shouldn't be able to live in that courtyard anymore, right? Then which palace is she in now? She can't have moved to my father's health palace, right?" Her voice trembled slightly with anger, and her speech was extremely fast, like a string of machine guns. Every word seemed to carry sparks that could ignite the air.

"No, Princess. Princess Jin'an led her men there, and once they were rescued, Concubine Cen arranged for them to be relocated to Lanxin Palace. His Majesty went there as soon as the banquet ended. She's still there." Vanilla mustered her courage and finished her words. She knew that if she didn't share the details with Jiaoyu, there was no guarantee this capricious princess would cause trouble. Furthermore, she was terrified that Jiaoyu would impulsively run to Lanxin Palace and run into the Emperor, which would be the end of her life. Therefore, her eyes were filled with fear and pleading as she spoke.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph..." After hearing Vanilla's words, Jiaoyu couldn't help but chuckle. The laughter was a bit subdued at first, but later it became increasingly high-pitched, like the shrill cry of a night owl, making Vanilla feel cold all over, the chill running from the soles of her feet to her forehead.

"Mother is right, this person was deliberately arranged by father. He indeed has other ideas. It's ridiculous that my silly second brother still admires father, but he doesn't know that he has already been abandoned by father. Hahaha..." Jiaoyu's faint voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, floating above Xiangcao's head. As she spoke, her emotions became more and more crazy. She raised her head and laughed wantonly, her hair scattered on both sides of her cheeks, and she looked like a madman. Xiangcao knelt on the ground, her body shaking violently involuntarily.
