Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1964: Chapter 1961: Xiang Anwan

With a wave of a hand, King of Huainan’s men followed a eunuch to the Court of Judicial Review.

At this moment in the capital.

The streets were already devoid of people, the military was on the main road, the cold atmosphere indicating unrest inside and outside the palace.

Ye Muyu stood in the yard, pacing anxiously.

“How is it, any news?” Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the corner, and she quickly inquired.

The secret guard shook his head, “Lady, we couldn’t find the master, nor could we enter the palace, but just now a group emerged from the palace, heading straight to the Ministry of Justice’s Minister’s Residence, and their orders suggested that the Emperor summoned them to the palace.”

“However, the treatment of these people was not good, possibly indicating bad news.”

“Not only that, but there were also parties heading to the Marquis of Ande’s Mansion and the Ministry of War Vice Minister’s family.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu instinctively thought it was good news, yet, not knowing if Chu Heng was safe, she remained uneasy.

After all, Chu Heng used to be a favorite of Emperor Xuanming, and at such times, if summoned to protect Emperor Xuanming,

who knows what unexpected events might occur.

Moreover, she didn’t even know who exactly caused the disturbance in the palace.

“Go find out again, and pay attention if the master sends a message voluntarily.” At this moment, Ye Muyu suddenly regretted not leaving a spy in the palace.

But on second thought, she knew that even if she had, leaving a spy in the palace wouldn’t have yielded any news at this moment.

Although there seemed to be unrest, it was too quiet.

Too quiet to the point of being unusual.

This situation wasn’t something one person could influence.

She could only hope Ah Heng would send a message voluntarily.

Another hour passed.

In the capital, most of the young masters, young misses, and even the masters from several high-ranking residences were brought into the palace.

Only a few minor officials, related to the Marquis of Ande’s Mansion, that Ye Muyu knew of were left.

Just these people amounted to dozens.

At the same time, personnel transfer was also happening at the Court of Judicial Review.

There were too many people, and the news couldn’t be concealed.

However, who exactly was transferred from the Court of Judicial Review couldn’t be found out.

“Lady.”

Another hour passed.

Ye Muyu had drunk no less than two pots of tea, anxiously pacing in place.

Chu Ziluo tried to comfort her several times to no avail.

Seeing the secret guard return again, Ye Muyu quickly looked over, anxiously asking, “How is it? Any news?”

“Lady, there is news.” This time the secret guard didn’t disappoint her, “The master’s men only sent word that he is fine, but no more details could be discovered.”

“Is that certain?” Ye Muyu frowned slightly, although unable to learn the specifics, knowing there was news made her feel much better.

“Yes.” The secret guard nodded, without a trace of hesitation.

Ye Muyu relaxed, collapsing onto the stone bench, and only realized she had broken into a cold sweat when she came to her senses.

Imperial Palace.

The young masters and masters from the Ministry of Justice’s Minister’s Residence were called into the palace, confined separately in the grand hall, while those from other residences were detained separately.

In the Imperial Study.

Emperor Xuanming sat on the Dragon Throne, his mood unreadable.

Below, King of Huainan stood to one side, holding a sword.

As the Minister of Dali Temple escorted the criminal into the hall, he saw the obvious confrontation, his heart leapt, pointing at King of Huainan and cursing.

King of Huainan didn’t even glance at him, his gaze fixed on a woman in white, not far behind the door.

“Alright, can we begin the interrogation?” King of Huainan spoke, unhurriedly, after the Minister of Dali Temple finished cursing.
