"Please tell me."
Facing the old lady who had lowered her stance so much, Yun Xi calmly spoke.
"Grandmother hopes that if anything should happen to your father, you don't need to worry about me. You must take your younger brother and leave the capital as soon as possible. Live in anonymity if you have to! You are the last descendants of the Yun family. Grandmother doesn't want to see you two siblings get involved any further!"
As for Yun Ni, she had done such a foolish thing that she even put the whole family in danger. She herself would probably not be able to escape death!
The reason why the old lady pleaded with Yun Xi like this was that she believed that with Yun Xi's ability, she would surely be able to take good care of herself and Yun Qi. In this way, even if the Prime Minister's Mansion fell, she could die without regret!
Yun Xi never expected that the old lady's request would be this. Usually, the old lady wouldn't care about her life and death. She would surely force her to do her best to save her father. Now that disaster was approaching, the old lady behaved in an unexpected way, which really surprised her!
It was not until this moment that Yun Xi was sure that the old lady was really determined to repent.
People's hearts are made of flesh, and Yun Xi was not heartless. Looking at the old and shriveled hand on her wrist, she hesitated for a moment and then reached out to cover it.
"I will surely rescue Father!"
Her eyes were bright and firm, showing no sign of retreat. She was making a promise to the other person and also to herself.
She would never abandon her father's life and death just to live on her own!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have secretly returned from Lingchuan, hiding it from Qi Rong.
To receive the latest news from the Prime Minister's Mansion conveniently, Yun Xi temporarily moved back to the mansion. Since she returned to the capital, she had never been idle.
On one hand, she spared no effort to collect information about that "quack sorcerer", and on the other hand, she was busy inquiring about news of her father.
Moreover, she managed to send Baizhu, known as the number one divine doctor in the Liuguo, into the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace through Imperial Physician Zhang.
Firstly, it would help her better understand the Crown Prince's condition. Secondly, only when the Crown Prince Qi Yu truly recovered from the danger could the crisis of the Prime Minister's Mansion gradually be lifted!
While doing all these, Yun Xi also tried to contact her younger brother Yun Qi.
Since Yun Qi had been traveling around with their father's disciples recently to find a way to rescue their father, Yun Xi hadn't seen him since she returned to the capital.
Although she heard that they had managed to get in touch with the Surveillance Censorate of the Three Judicial Departments and persuaded the Left and Right Censors-in-Chief to help their father reverse the verdict, after all, it was the current emperor who had ordered the arrest of their father!
Moreover, their father was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, directly under the jurisdiction of the Brocade Guards, who acted on the emperor's orders and bypassed the Three Judicial Departments.
So, even if the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicature, and the Surveillance Censorate of the Three Judicial Departments united, they would be useless in front of the Brocade Guards' Imperial Prison.
It would be very difficult for just the Surveillance Censorate to change the overall situation!
However, given the current situation, they could only proceed step by step and never give up any hope!
She had some ideas in mind that seemed vaguely feasible, so she wanted to discuss them with Yun Qi and find out the real progress from him.
After receiving Yun Xi's message, Yun Qi arrived on time for the meeting. Looking at her younger brother's once-round face, which had now become much thinner, and his already mature face looking even more solemn, it was hard to imagine that he was just a boy in his early teens.
Yun Xi felt a pang of emotion in her heart, but her gaze suddenly froze when she saw a man following Yun Qi.
"I'm Su Qian. Greetings, Princess Yongning."
The man was tall and handsome. When he saw Yun Xi, he immediately stepped forward to pay his respects with a very humble attitude.
"Elder sister, Brother Su is Father's disciple. He came all the way from Jiangdu when he heard that Father was in trouble. It's all thanks to Brother Su's planning. Otherwise, we would still be at a loss."
Seeing Yun Xi staring blankly at the man as if she had forgotten to react, Yun Qi immediately explained.
Yun Xi blinked her eyes and came back to her senses slightly from the shock. She quickly stepped aside and said with a smile,
"Mr. Su, please have a seat."
Yun Xi ordered someone to serve tea, but her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Su Qian was from a prominent family in Jiangdu and the only son of her father's old friend. He was upright in character, magnanimous, and humble in dealing with things.
What was even more rare was that although he was extremely talented, he had no intention of pursuing an official career. He was very interested in collecting and researching ancient bronzes and antiques, and had even compiled several books painstakingly, which would be of great significance for future generations' research.
If one wondered why Yun Xi knew so much about a stranger, it was because this man was her husband in her previous life!
In her previous life, her father had never seen her before his death, but he had written her a letter in which he introduced Su Qian in detail and warned her to reform herself and be a good wife and mother.
At that time, she had been in despair for many years. Her father's letter was like a ray of dawn breaking through the haze, giving her new hope.
She was full of uneasiness and even fantasized more than once that her life could be happy again. Like all young girls waiting to be married, she hoped to be cherished by her future husband and pinned the happiness of her later life on a man named "Su Qian".
However, on the day of their wedding, she was poisoned by the Jiang family and died miserably on the street! She had no future anymore.
She never thought that life could be so wonderful. Not only did she get reborn and reverse her previous tragic fate, but she also made the Jiang family receive the punishment they deserved.
Now, she even met the man she had no fate with in her previous life in such a situation...
Yun Xi's unconsciously staring made Yun Qi beside her a little embarrassed, but Su Qian remained calm and always had a faint smile on his face.
He didn't seem uncomfortable because of Yun Xi's staring.
After Yun Xi learned from Su Qian that he wanted to use the power of the Surveillance Censorate, which could "report major matters to the emperor for judgment and make decisions on minor matters", to "attack in the east while feigning in the west" and rescue her father in a roundabout way, she highly praised the plan!
Because Su Qian's plan almost coincided with hers, and it was even more detailed and reliable than she had imagined.
Although it might take a long time, at present, this was the only safe way.
After all, trying to snatch someone from under the emperor's nose was like pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth. If they were a little careless, they would lose everything!
No one could bear such a consequence!
After learning about the progress on Yun Qi and Su Qian's side, Yun Xi also told them about her own achievements.
So that they could make arrangements in the future and work together to find out the emperor's real intention and clear her father of the charges!
Listening to Yun Xi's plan, Su Qian couldn't hide his admiration in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that the princess has only been back in the capital for a short time, yet she has been so decisive and has such a meticulous plan. I really admire you!"
"If there is anything I need to cooperate with in the future, please don't hesitate to let me know."
Anyway, the two of them were working together to rescue Prime Minister Yun Sheng. They didn't care what method to use.
As long as it worked, it was the best way!
