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

"To answer your Majesty, I don't know where the prince is. I am just a servant, please don't embarrass me."

Fulu was already anxious and angry, and seeing that Concubine Liu didn't care whether the prince was in trouble or not, but was putting on airs here, his tone became much colder.

Liu Shishi felt a little embarrassed when she was retorted by a slave.

"As the prince's personal servant, you don't even know where the prince has gone? It seems that the prince is too kind-hearted. When the prince comes back, I will make him punish you severely."

"Then let's talk about it when the prince comes back, Concubine Liu."

After saying that, Fulu didn't even bother to say hello and just walked away.

He is the prince's servant, and Concubine Liu is not his master, so there is no need for him to be nice to her.

Liu Shishi was so angry at Fulu's appearance that she grabbed something nearby and wanted to smash it.

"My queen, no." Mingyue rushed over hurriedly.

This is a valuable vase, specially used for display, but it costs several hundred taels.

Liu Shishi was so angry that she reached out and pinched Mingyue.

"I can't even smash a vase. Which is more important, me or the vase?"

Mingyue endured the pain and handed the vase in her hand to Mingzhu beside her, motioning her to put it away.

"Of course the Majesty is more important. Breaking a vase is nothing, but what if it pierces the Majesty's hand? What should I do?"

"Besides, if your Majesty smashes it today, then that's it. You'll have to spend money to buy a new one someday, and I don't want to make your Majesty sad."

"Anyway, I have thick skin and flesh. If you want to vent your anger, just pinch me a few more times."

Liu Shishi also knew that she was taking her anger out on Mingyue.

Mingyue is a maid who has served her since she was a child and is different from other maids.

"What should I do now? Do you really want me to go back alone? Wouldn't that make people laugh to death?"

Liu Shishi got angry when she thought about this.

Mingyue touched the place where she was pinched and hurt, and went up to comfort her.

"I heard that Concubine Shen also returned home alone."

"The prince is also busy and not at home. If he were here, he would definitely accompany the queen back home."

"Really? Do you also believe that the prince is not in the palace?"

"When I went to look for Fulu just now, I heard him ordering people to go out of the house to look for the prince. This means that the prince did not return to the house after he separated from us yesterday."

"Since you have married the prince, you should always put him first. Now that the prince is not in the palace, you should do your duty well and make sure that others cannot find fault with you. Only in this way can you have a chance to gain the prince's attention."

When Mingyue said "others", she raised her chin towards the east.

Liu Shishi is not stupid, she understood it instantly.

"Let's go back to the Duke's Mansion."

Today is Liu Shishi's return home day, and the Duke is taking a special rest at home.

He waited for a long time before his daughter came back late.

"Why are you alone? Where is the King of Qi?"

Liu Shishi stepped forward and bowed to her father and stepmother.

"The prince left the palace yesterday for something and has not returned today."

When the wife of the Duke's Mansion heard this, she said to the Duke, "I have things to do, so I won't disturb you and your daughter's reunion."

After saying this, she left with her servants.

Today, if it weren't for the King of Qi, she wouldn't be here waiting with the Duke.

Liu Shishi burst into tears, "Father, my wife..."

The Duke was also troubled, "Your brother is waiting for you, go quickly."

After all, they were family members who had lived together since childhood. When Liu Shishi heard this, she stopped crying, bowed to the Duke, and left leisurely.

The Duke waved his hand and called his confidant: "Go and check, what happened to the King of Qi yesterday that made him not return home?"

On this side, Liu Shishi also told her brother Liu Zongyuan about her experiences in the past few days.

In her eyes, her brother was the smartest person because he ranked second in the high school entrance examination.

After listening to her, Liu Zongyuan couldn't help but frown.

"That's why you acted badly. The prince didn't come back all night, and as his bedmate, you didn't care about his safety, but instead you were thinking about competing with others for favor. You've fallen into a low position by doing this."

After all, she was a high school graduate, so Liu Zongyuan immediately saw that something was wrong with Liu Shishi.

"I didn't think of anything else. I just thought it was Concubine Shen who stopped the man."

"Who asked the prince to go to her room on the wedding night? If I don't suspect her, who should I suspect? Brother, what should I do now?"

Liu Shishi twisted the handkerchief in her hand, she really didn't think about anything else.

Liu Zongyuan looked at his sister. Over the years, his mother had always been strict with him, but had let his sister do whatever she wanted.

As a result, my sister usually interacts with country women, and her horizons are limited.

"Anyway, just remember that the prince is the most important thing. You follow the prince wherever he goes. From now on, you belong to the prince."

A shrewd light flashed in Liu Zongyuan's eyes.

Under the encouragement of his father, the Duke, he has moved from doing odd jobs in the Hanlin Academy to being responsible for editing books.

If my sister marries the King of Qi, as long as she serves him well, it will only benefit him and not cause any harm.

He had heard that the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was preparing to choose a husband for his youngest daughter.

Liu Shishi was lectured by her brother, and after lunch, she was lectured by her father again.

The Duke now knows that Xiao Minshen did not return home last night.

Moreover, the Duke also speculated that it was Liu Shishi who had a conflict with the King of Qi in the carriage, which led to the King of Qi getting off the carriage midway.

He didn't have much contact with his daughter, so he didn't know much about her personality.

He could only give her a good lecture and not let her ruin his son's future.

Liu Shishi returned to Prince Qi's mansion in a depressed mood. As soon as she entered the door, she asked the maid, "Has the prince returned yet?"

When she heard that there wasn't any yet, she went to Shen Yunjin's yard again.

At this moment, Shen Yunjin was listening to Fulu telling him the news from the secret guards.

When he heard the servant announce that Concubine Liu had arrived, he waved his hand and let her in.

As soon as Liu Shishi walked in, she saw Fulu and asked, "Fulu, have you found the prince?"

Shen Yunjin looked at her in surprise.

"Concubine Liu, you're here just in time. Fulu just received the news from the prince."

Fulu bowed to the two concubines before beginning to speak.

"I have contacted Mo Yi. The prince and his men were attacked yesterday, so they took a longer detour. The prince will probably be able to return home in the evening."

"Your Highness was attacked. Is he injured anywhere?" Liu Shishi asked anxiously, holding the clothes on her chest.

Shen Yunjin looked at her meaningfully. It seemed that this concubine Liu had come to her senses.

"I don't know yet. The news only said the time when the prince will return home."

After speaking to his two masters, Fulu hurried away as he still had things to arrange.

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, if everything is ok, I will take my leave now."
