All of them were very surprised, and at the same time faintly anxious. They couldn’t head out of the palace that easily. Once they head out, they must ensure that the task given by their master was completed. They could do things easily since Prince Qiyang wasn’t awake yet, and it would be too late once the god of war awakens.
The imperial physicians were helpless with Xie Xuanchen’s illness, they could not accurately predict when he would wake up. Xun, the imperial assistant was so anxious that her mouth even blistered, she could only instruct someone to add some ingredients that would induce sleep into his medicine, and speed up her questioning on Mu Mingtang.
Xun, the imperial assistant, decided to be cruel, and not deliver any meals to Mu Mingtang anymore. She thought to herself, Mu Mingtang was just a kid from the countryside, and that she was stupid and ignorant. Her being a Mama that was in charge of the Emperor Dowager’s palace, wouldn’t it just be a piece of cake for her to deal with this little girl? She knew that Mu Mingtang had been starving for one day and two nights. Only on the second night, she unlocked the gate.

Yet, Xun still insisted on imprisoning her in this temple. As days passed, she naturally couldn’t stay calm anymore and became frustrated.
Hence, it could be seen that the Emperor was merely guessing. He needed evidence that could continue to lock up Xie Xuanchen. Xie Yi did actually instruct them to lock up Xie Xuanchen, and even said that without his order, no one could release him. However, that was just moments of angry words, after Xie Yi cooled down, he for sure wouldn’t treat his own son like this.
