Upon hearing Old Madam Jiang’s words, everyone turned to look at her.

Old Madam Jiang said firmly, “My sons and grandsons are outside risking their lives. No matter what, I’ll wait here for them.”

“If the Jiang family remains unscathed, so will I. But if the Jiang family is threatened, I’ll stand or fall with them.”

“Huan Er, don’t try to persuade me.”

When she spoke her last sentence, Old Madam Jiang looked straight at Jiang Peihuan.

“Alright, then we’ll do as you said, Grandmother…”

“Huan Er?”

Upon seeing Jiang Peihuan knock Old Madam Jiang unconscious, Liu Xiu’s eyes widened in shock.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t say anything but turned to Nanny Xu, “Please take good care of Grandmother.”

“Eldest Miss, don’t worry. Even if it costs me my life, I’ll take care of the old madam.”

Suddenly, sounds of fighting reached their ears.

Jiang Peihuan quickly looked at Liu Xiu and the others, “Go, hurry!”

Jiang Peihuan didn’t reply. She watched as her grandmother, Liu Xiu, and the others were escorted away.

Once their figures vanished from the room, she turned and headed towards the main entrance.

By the time she reached the courtyard, she heard the sounds of combat.

“Third Young Master?”

Jiang Peihuan heard a shout. It was Ping An’s voice.

Instinctively, she quickened her pace.

When she reached the front gate, she saw Jiang Songbai surrounded by soldiers. A soldier raised his longsword, aiming straight for him.

There was no one around Jiang Songbai, and he couldn’t avoid it.

But suddenly, an arrow shot through the air.

Jiang Songbai turned to see Jiang Peihuan, bow in hand, arrow nocked and ready.

“Eldest Sister!”

“Eldest Miss!”

The household troops, upon seeing Jiang Peihuan, were reignited with fighting spirit.

Dressed in a teal robe, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, Jiang Peihuan calmly walked forward, confronting the attackers.

When she reached the front, she addressed them, “Under whose command do you dare attack the family of a general?”

“By the name of the new emperor, we’re here to suppress the rebels and capture Queen Cheng!”

The opposing commander responded coldly.

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan’s expression darkened.

At this time, the only one who would dare call himself the new emperor would be Prince Rui.

Without saying another word, Jiang Peihuan drew her longsword, “Where are the soldiers of the Jiang family?”

“Here at your command!”

“Follow my lead.”

“Yes!”

With her sword pointed downward, Jiang Peihuan swung it with force, then coldly shouted, “Attack!”

The moment her command sounded, the entire household’s troops surged forward, with Jiang Peihuan, sword in hand, leading the charge.

Ye Xiao closely followed Jiang Peihuan, her eyes filled with a somber expression.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Songbai quickly moved to shield Jiang Peihuan.

Initially, the Jiang family soldiers were somewhat apprehensive facing the vast number of opponents. But seeing the fearless demeanor of Jiang Peihuan inspired them, lending them boundless strength.

In less than an hour, the soldiers attacking the general’s mansion retreated, not daring to advance even half a step.

While they didn’t dare to move forward, neither did they show any signs of retreating, only adamantly guarding the gate.

“Close the gate!”

Standing inside, Jiang Peihuan ordered gravely.

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Jiang Songbai and Ye Xiao rushed to shut the gate.

The moment the gates were closed, Jiang Peihuan swayed slightly.

“My Queen?”

Ye Xiao noticed and quickly supported her.

Jiang Peihuan’s sword-wielding hand trembled. She whispered, “I’m fine, just tired. Help me go rest.”

“Deputy General Liu, 1 will leave the rest to you,” Jiang Songbai said.

Without waiting for any response, Jiang Songbai carried Jiang Peihuan in his arms. Entering the room, he carefully laid her on the couch. That’s when he noticed the wound on her arm.

“What happened?”

Seeing the concern in Jiang Songbai’s eyes, Jiang Peihuan replied, “It’s nothing, just a minor injury.”

“Song Bai, listen to me.”

“Eldest Sister, please speak. I’m listening.”

“In less than half a cup of tea’s time, reinforcements will surely arrive outside.

You and Deputy General Liu must guard the main entrance.”

“I’ll have Ye Xiao bring you some medicine. Dilute it with water and pour it outside.”

“The palace must be in chaos now. Father and elder brother might not be able to attend to the mansion. We, as siblings, we must guard the Jiang family.”

“Also, I sent grandmother and the others away. Do you blame me for leaving you behind?”

“Eldest sister, what are you saying? With our elder brother absent, I’m the man of the Jiang family. If you, a lady, can be so brave, how can I be afraid?”

“I’m proud to see that you’ve grown into a man of character.”

“Ye Xiao, hand over the items to the Third Young Master.”

“Yes.”

Ye Xiao then handed over several porcelain bottles to Jiang Songbai.

Taking the bottles, Jiang Songbai reassured Jiang Peihuan, “Rest well, sister. I’ve got everything under control outside.”

“Mmm.”

With a nod from Jiang Peihuan, Jiang Songbai turned to Ye Xiao, “Take care of my sister.”

“Rest assured, Third Young Master.”

After he left, Jiang Peihuan’s face turned deathly pale.

Ye Xiao approached and carefully lifted the hem of Jiang Peihuan’s dress. It was stained deep red.

Seeing the blood, Ye Xiao’s face darkened, “My Queen, you must not move. The young prince in your womb is in danger.”

“Ye Xiao, give me acupuncture.”

“Alright.”

Ye Xiao didn’t hesitate and began inserting silver needles into her abdomen.

Soon, Jian Peihuan’s abdomen was filled with silver needles.

Feeling her strength returning, Jiang Peihuan took a deep breath. Everything was chaotic in her mind. In her previous life, none of this had happened. There was no pregnancy, no rebellion, and the Jiang family was not under siege.

Before she realized it, Jiang Peihuan fell asleep. Ye Xiao stayed by her side, covering her with a blanket upon hearing her steady breathing.

Jiang Peihuan’s suspicions were correct. The palace was also in chaos.

In the Qianqing Hall.

Emperor Qi Ming sat on his throne. Hearing the battles outside, his face turned grim.

“How’s the situation outside?”

Looking at Wang Kun standing nearby, the Qi Ming Emperor asked quietly..
