Razing the Princess's Mansion

Under the moonlight, a young maiden in a pale green gown swiftly approached.

Her countenance resembled white jade, her eyes bright and captivating. Despite her simple attire, she exuded an air of elegance and grace that surpassed all others.

She paid her respects and repeated the same words as before, "Your Majesty, the soul of my second brother resides within the Princess's mansion. I offer my life as a guarantee and beseech you to order a search!"

Princess Huiping's face stiffened, her anger flaring, "This mansion was bestowed upon me by the former Emperor. How dare you, demand a search!"

Chu Hanlin glanced at his daughter, witnessing the unwavering determination in her nod. He too pleaded, "Your Majesty, I am willing to offer my life as well. I implore you to conduct a search!"

"Imperial Brother, since they are willing to stake their lives, let us conduct a search," Ye Siheng suggested.
