After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Shen Yunjin held the teacup and thought about what Yang Liu had found out about Concubine Liu's origins.

"Didn't she go to the palace to express her gratitude? Why is she back so soon?"

Yang Liu walked in, "Just now Fulu said that the Queen didn't let anyone in, so she asked the palace maid to give silver at the door and let the person go back."

No wonder, the Queen Mother originally wanted her niece to marry into the family.

Who would have thought that the Duke's Mansion would take advantage of this opportunity? It would be strange if the Queen would be in a good mood.

"Where is the prince?"

"The prince said he had something to do and left, and asked Fulu to send Concubine Liu back."

"Come to think of it, the prince still cares more about our queen and stayed overnight at her place last night." Yuzhi smiled.

"Don't say that again. Your mouth really deserves to be sewn shut by Jinzhi."

Shen Yunjin spoke seriously.

"I was wrong, Your Majesty, please forgive me." Yuzhi hurriedly admitted her mistake.

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are alone in the room. Who knows, someone with ulterior motives might hear what you said and end up killing you."

Xiao Minshen is the King of Qi, and it is not the maid's turn to comment on what he does.

Rumors are scary. If this gets out, who knows what kind of trouble it will bring.

It was dark, and Xiao Minshen still hadn't come back.

Shen Yunjin ordered Yang Liu, "Call Fulu over."

Fulu came in soon, "My humble servant greets the queen."

"Do you know when the prince will come back?" Shen Yunjin asked.

"I don't know. The prince decided to get off the car at the last minute today. I don't know where he went."

Shen Yunjin couldn't help but frown.

Ever since the last attack on Prince Qi's mansion, Xiao Minshen would tell her wherever he was going.

"Perhaps the prince was held up by something, but don't worry, Madam, Mo Yi and the others are following."

Fulu saw that Shen Yunjin looked unhappy and hurriedly added.

Mo Yi's martial arts skills were very high, so Shen Yunjin felt relieved.

"If the prince hasn't returned by tomorrow morning, have the palace's secret guards go out and look for him."

Fulu responded and went out.

Shen Yunjin did not sleep well that night, and his dreams were filled with scenes of Xiao Minshen being assassinated.

She dreamed that many knives were stabbing at Xiao Minshen, and Xiao Minshen's body was full of holes and covered in blood.

In the dream, Xiao Minshen looked at her straight and said silently: I'm sorry.

She didn't believe it was real. She tried hard to wake up, but she was trapped inside and couldn't move.

Then, she watched Xiao Minshen die in front of her.

She wanted to hug him, but her hands passed through his body.

She kept crying, but couldn't move at all.

"Empress! Empress!"

One hand pushed her hard.

Shen Yunjin then opened his eyes with difficulty.

Jinzhi was shocked when she saw that Shen Yunjin's eyes were swollen.

"Madam, are you having a nightmare?"

Shen Yunjin slowly came back to her senses at this time, and she felt her eyes were very sore.

"My eyes are sore and uncomfortable."

"Yuzhi, go get me a hot boiled egg. Hongliu, go make me a pot of wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea."

Jinzhi hurriedly helped Shen Yunjin sit up.

Yuzhi took the egg, Jinzhi wrapped the egg in a handkerchief and rolled it over Shen Yunjin's eyes.

After rolling for a while, Shen Yunjin felt better.

Jinzhi soaked the handkerchief in tea and applied it to Shen Yunjin's eyes.

"The maidservant beside Concubine Liu wants to see the Empress for something." A maidservant from the outside reported.

Jinzhi opened her mouth to scold, but Shen Yunjin waved his hand and signaled for someone to come in.

When Mingyue walked into the room, she saw Shen Yunjin sitting on the bed, with several maids surrounding her.

She didn't dare to look any longer, and quickly lowered her head and squatted to salute.

"This servant has greeted Concubine Shen. My queen asked this servant to come and invite the prince. Today is the day for my queen to return home."

When Yuzhi heard this, her eyebrows frowned.

"If your queen wants to find the prince, she should go somewhere else. How did she find her way to my queen's yard?"

"You speak as if my wife used some despicable means to prevent the prince from accompanying your master back home.

How did your master make the prince angry and leave yesterday? Instead of reflecting on it, your master questioned us. It's really funny!"

Yuzhi kept talking so fast that Mingyue was speechless.

Shen Yunjin then spoke: "Go back and tell your master that the prince did not return home yesterday, so she will be the only one returning home today."

Mingyue bowed and hurried back.

Jinzhi turned around and pinched Yuzhi's face, "Oh, your little mouth is so messy, it's such a pity to sew it up."

Yuzhi covered her face and reached out to pinch Jinzhi's face.

Shen Yunjin saw the maids joking with each other and knew that they were trying to comfort herself.

She thought of the situation in her dream and ordered, "Send Fulu here."

Fulu arrived soon and said, "I have already asked the secret guards to go out and look for him. There should be news coming back soon."

"Tell me in detail what happened yesterday, Prince."

Fulu told the whole story from the moment Xiao Minshen entered the palace in the morning, and then got on the carriage with Concubine Liu, when they suddenly stopped halfway, and then left with Mo Yi.

Shen Yunjin felt that there was nothing unusual throughout the whole process, except in the carriage.

"The prince and Concubine Liu are in the carriage, but is there anything unusual? Or, what did they say?"

Fulu thought about it carefully and said, "No, I was walking beside the carriage and didn't hear any conversation or movement."

Could it be that Xiao Minshen suddenly thought of something important and decided to get off the car?

"If the secret guard returns with any news, inform me immediately. Also, have the secret guards at the villa send someone to look for it."

Fulu left as soon as he was told, and Shen Yunjin closed his eyes and thought.

Recently, the emperor has basically handed over all state affairs to the prince.

The prince and Xiao Minshen were not on good terms, so there was no way that Xiao Minshen could do anything secret.

Shen Yunjin also didn't hear Xiao Minshen mention that there was something special that required him to be away from home for a few days.

It was possible that he was really tripped by something, and Shen Yunjin tried hard to forget everything in the dream.

When Liu Shishi heard Mingyue's report, she angrily threw the things in her hand to the ground.

"Are you sure the prince is not in her room?"

Mingyue thought about what she had just seen.

"She probably isn't here. I saw Concubine Shen's eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn't look very well."

"Go and call the guy named Fulu from yesterday. I have something to ask him." Liu Shishi didn't believe it.

Fulu was busy arranging people to look for the King of Qi at the moment. When he heard that Concubine Liu was looking for him, he followed reluctantly.

"I have met Concubine Liu."

"Are you the prince's servant?" Liu Shishi looked at Fulu.

"Excuse me, Concubine Liu, what do you want to ask? I am busy." A look of impatience flashed across Fulu's face.

"I am returning home today. You are the prince's servant. You must know where the prince is."
