Outside the door, Ye Qing looked at the National Master with a complicated expression.

The National Master said indifferently, "We are trying to find a solution. You inside, hold on a bit longer."

There was a flicker of surprise in Ye Qing’s eyes.

Xiao Hen said, "Hurry up, my mother is gravely injured, she won’t last much longer."

The National Master responded mildly, "Understood. Ya He, go fetch some tools to pry the door open." freёwebnovel.com

"Yes, Master!" In this life-and-death situation, Ya He hurried off without touching the ground.

Only Ye Qing was left, staring at the National Master in shock, wanting to speak but hesitating several times.

Outside the door, besides them, there were the death guards and disciples of the National Master Hall, along with over a dozen of the Crown Prince’s Jin Yi Guards.

Ye Qing had some suspicions, which he decided to address privately with his master later.

Inside the secret room, the Emperor, upon learning that the door couldn’t be opened for a while, became increasingly anxious.

He asked Gu Jiao, "How is she? Has the bleeding stopped?"

Gu Jiao knelt beside Shangguan Yun, desperately trying to stop the bleeding. Her face was covered in Shangguan Yun’s blood, presenting a horrifying sight.

Gu Jiao said, "Not yet, the injury is too severe. There are no medicinal herbs or surgical tools here, there’s no effective way to stop the bleeding!"

Gu Jiao’s words were the last straw. The Emperor’s anger toward the Crown Prince reached its peak.

He coldly approached the Crown Prince, "I had thought you were kind and respectful, one who behaves properly even in hidden chambers. Of all my sons, you appeared the most sincere, even Elder Yang praised your virtuous conduct. Though not the eldest, I defied the opinions and named you the Crown Prince of Dayan. Over the years, I allowed your subtle power plays, turning a blind eye to your cultivation of influence and connections with noble families, believing you needed some practical skills to rule. But never did I imagine my leniency would fuel your ambition! Are you not content with being the Crown Prince? You wish to usurp the throne and become emperor prematurely!"

The Emperor’s aura intensified, and the Crown Prince’s legs gave way as he knelt on the ground, "Father! I did not! I did not try to usurp you! I know nothing about that Long Aotian! Father... if you don’t believe me, summon Pang Hai, he can prove he conspired with Xiao Liulang before coming to my residence!"
