The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Yu Zhen is worthy of being the person in charge of the Royal Escort Agency. He is smart and has thought of this aspect.

Madam Yu asked him what to do now.

Yu Zhen was not in a hurry. "Add more people to guard all the exits of Yu Mansion. Tie up the maid who came with me and throw her into the woodshed to torture her. I want to see how tight-lipped the people in Prince Zhan's Mansion are."

The two of them walked away and the sound of a door closing was heard.

After a long while, it was quiet outside. Hu Luanfei came out and the light in the study had dimmed a lot.

I guess it’s getting dark soon.

Hu Luanfei stealthily opened the window a crack and observed the surroundings. Seeing that there was no one guarding the window, he climbed out cautiously.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt a sharp pain. Before he could dodge back, a cold blade touched his neck.

"The study is so small, you have hidden yourself well. Now, let me see how you hide."

The corners of the bright grey robe were lifted by the wind, revealing a pair of black boots.

The man who came was Yuling's father, with a slender figure, deep eyebrows and handsome eyes. When Hu Luanfei stared at him, his eyebrows raised with a hint of smile, but the corners of his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Hu Luanfei's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he was slightly stunned. He could only force a smile and said, "Master Yu, what do you mean?"

"You trespassed into the Jade Mansion and stole my treasures, yet you still have the nerve to ask me what I mean?"

Hu Luanfei raised her neck and leaned back, her back pressed tightly against the cold wall, and she pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, "Master Yu misunderstood. Concubine Yu returned to the mansion without informing me. For safety reasons, I came to the Yu Mansion to confirm Concubine Yu's safety. Your accusation that I stole the treasures of the Yu Mansion is really unjust."

Hu Luanfei's voice became calmer and calmer. Yu Zhen was silent for a while, as if he found it funny. A faint laugh escaped from his throat, and then his thumb gently stroked Hu Luanfei's lips and took out the white porcelain bottle from his arms.

Hu Luanfei wanted to spit at him, but the cold blade on the side of her neck was still against her skin. She didn't dare to move, and cursed his ancestors a thousand times in her heart.

"I don't want to embarrass Princess Zhan, so I'm going to take a gamble. If you take this medicine, I'll believe what you say."

With the golden light setting in front of him, he carefully considered the truthfulness of Yu Zhen's words.

Hu Luanfei's eyes moved slightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he secretly weighed the pros and cons.

"What, don't you dare?"

The white porcelain bottle was pressed against his red lips, and he would not let it go no matter whether Hu Luanfei dared or not.

The smile in Hu Luanfei's eyes flickered, and she took the white porcelain bottle and put it to her mouth, "Since Your Excellency doesn't believe me, then I will follow Your Excellency's wishes and drink this poison."

As soon as I drank the potion, I felt a burning sensation in my stomach, and suddenly, I felt an incredible piercing pain. It was like someone was pulling out my muscles and skinning me, and my legs and feet suddenly lost strength.

Hu Luanfei supported himself against the wall and slowly slid down.

At this moment, Yu Zhen bent her knees and squatted down, her eyes half-smiling, Leng Ren lifted her chin. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on his profile, outlining the outline of his treacherous expression.

He saw blood slowly seeping from the corner of Hu Luanfei's mouth. As she stared at him blankly, he said nothing. The cold blade slashed from her chin to her neck like a feather, "Such a beautiful woman but her life is as fragile as paper. What a pity."

"Now that you believe that I am innocent, please release Fei Li immediately and let us go to see Concubine Yu Guiji so that we can give an explanation to the Emperor."

"Your Highness Princess should know what I want. As long as you obey me and return the stolen items, you will still have a chance to survive."

He doesn't even trust his wife, with whom he has slept for decades, so why should he trust strangers?

Hu Luanfei said tremblingly: "Even if I die, you won't be able to find what you want from me."

A strange atmosphere surged silently.

Yu Zhen stared at Hu Luanfei for a long while, then suddenly put away the knife and stood up. "Since you refuse to admit it, I will spare your life for now. Come, take Princess Zhan to the woodshed."

Hu Luanfei frowned slightly. She was the wife of the King of War. Logically speaking, her status should be more noble than his. How dare he imprison her?

But it just happened to suit her wishes to meet Fei Li.

Hu Luanfei drank an unknown poison and didn't have time to take the space spring water. When she arrived at the door of the firewood room, the door opened and the people behind her pushed it. She was already weak and fell into the firewood.

The firewood had burrs and uneven cracks. When Hu Luanfei pressed down, her exposed skin was pierced. She was caught off guard and collided with a thin piece of firewood, but she was fortunate that her eyes were not hurt by it. Unfortunately, the corner of her eye was scratched.

"Empress, you are injured." Fei Li rushed over, but she was tied up and couldn't help much.

Hu Luanfei looked at her frightened expression and paused.

Fei Li was brutally abused, with two slap marks on her pretty fair face, which was swollen from the beatings. One can imagine how strong the attacker's force was.

"The people in Yu Mansion are so reckless. Don't they know that Your Majesty is Princess Zhan?" Fei Li wanted to help Hu Luanfei wipe the blood from the corner of her eyes, but unfortunately, the opposite happened.

"In the past, the title of Princess Zhan was very useful. Once we entered the Yu Mansion, others had the support of the Queen Mother. We are the younger generation, so how can we be qualified to challenge others?" Then, she struggled to get down from the pile, walked around behind Fei Li, and reached out to untie the rope.

The people in Yu Mansion looked up to Prince Zhan's Mansion very highly. The rope that tied Fei Li was soaked in oil and it took a lot of effort to untie it.

Fei Li's wrists were left with purple-red marks from the ropes, and his body was covered in lacerations from the whipping.

Hu Luanfei whispered in her ear: "Why don't you beg for mercy? Say a few nice words and the people in Yufu will let you go."

Fei Li's voice was clear and cold. "Before I entered the palace, I had to survive no matter what. But after entering the palace, I saw the courage of Jiang Shi and A Zhu to defend the palace to the death, and I thought that even if I died, I had to die gracefully. I didn't say anything to them. "

"We are just here to look for Yu Guiji. What is there to hide?"

Hu Luanfei found a comfortable position and lay on his back.

"How can it be that simple?" Fei Li told the truth: "They asked me about the relationship between the prince and the princess, whether the prince had any assets, whether the military power of the Zhan Palace had been handed over, whether the prince had the intention of rebellion, etc...."

“Why are they asking that?”

Fei Li timidly whispered: "I don't know, they seem to want to bribe me intentionally or unintentionally. Your Majesty, please take a look..."

Fei Li took out several silver bills and some gold and silver jewelry, all of which were priceless treasures.

Hu Luanfei's heart stagnated, but he didn't show any sign of it. "What do you think?"

As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Fei Li has been with the Queen Mother for a long time and has learned to act like a shrewd person. In recent days, her attitude has been clear and she has the intention to surrender to the Zhan Wang Mansion. However, she never dared to let down her guard and accept the prisoners sent by the enemy.

Just like myself back then.

Fei Li confessed at this moment, and she couldn't help but suspect that he was pretending to surrender to deceive her trust and then turning against her.
