Chu Yuanli's face flushed immediately, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I would like to ask my Sixth Brother to help me and..."

"Your Highness Prince Rui!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice successfully interrupted what Chu Yuanli was about to say.

When everyone looked over, they saw a woman dressed as a palace aunt walking hurriedly towards them.

"Aunt Zhi?" Chu Yuanli's heart tightened. Why did Aunt Zhi, who was beside her mother, come here?

Tao Zhi walked in front of everyone, bowed slightly with a smile on her face, and said, "Greetings to Concubine Hui and His Royal Highness Prince Qing."

Then, she stood up and said to Prince Rui: "Your Majesty, the Queen hasn't seen you for a long time, and is sending people everywhere to look for you, please come over quickly..."

Prince Rui was not willing to let it go. Prince Qing had an unclear attitude, and he was also worried that things would get more complicated if Chu Beiqing fell in love with Ning'er, and it would be too late for him to regret it.

After thinking it through, Chu Yuanli said to Tao Zhi with a firm look in his eyes: "Aunt Tao Zhi, go back and talk to my mother first. I will go there later."

Tao Zhi frowned slightly, then forced a smile and said, "I know that the prince values ​​his brothers, and I have always admired His Royal Highness Prince Qing.

But today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and unlike the past, the Emperor hates being late. Your Majesty, please follow me to the Xianfu Palace first. The Concubine Xian still has a few words to tell you."

Tao Zhi was the most capable confidant of Concubine Xian. Since her arrival, everything she did and said was flawless.

Now that things have come to this, if Chu Yuanli were the normal person, he would naturally understand the seriousness of the matter and would go with her.

But now Chu Yuanli has made up his mind. He is a little anxious and impatient, his face darkens, "I will go later, you leave first."

"Your Highness!" Tao Zhi became even more anxious.

She knew very well what her young master wanted to do, but things were different now, and the prince could no longer be involved with Yan Qingning.

"I told you to step down!" Chu Yuanli suddenly raised his voice a few notches, his expression revealing a sense of authority that could not be disobeyed.

Tao Zhi sighed inwardly, thinking that her prince had truly been bewitched by the girl from the Yan family.

She only hoped that Her Majesty would receive the letter she sent and come quickly so that she could stop the prince from making impulsive actions in time.

Yan Xiwei sneered in her heart when she saw Prince Rui like this. He was indeed a good-for-nothing. No wonder he failed in his rebellion in his previous life and ended up in exile.

But this is just right, she can watch with her own eyes Chu Yuanli walk step by step towards the abyss of hell.

So what if I was tricked by Cheng Wanshuang?

Humph, because everything today was within my plan.

As for the late frost, there is still a long way to go.

Yan Xiwei turned to look at Yan Qingning, only to see that she looked thoughtful, as if it had nothing to do with her.

She snorted in her heart, was she naive enough to think that she could get what she wanted today?

She was overthinking it. What made her unsure was King Qing. She felt complicated and hoped that King Qing didn't care about Yan Qingning.

But he was also worried that King Qing would help King Rui.

In this way, it would be equivalent to fulfilling Yan Qingning's wish, wouldn't that be a bargain for her?

As expected, King Rui bowed deeply to King Qing and said, "Sixth Brother, I have an unwelcome request. I hope you will grant me your favor. I and..."

"Yuanli!"

Suddenly, a woman's hurried voice was heard, followed by a strong fragrant breeze.

It also successfully interrupted what Chu Yuanli was about to say.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the hurried sound. They all looked and saw a woman with a high bun, a golden hairpin on her head, dressed in an elegant and luxurious manner, and a voluptuous figure walking towards them quickly.

As she walked, the golden light on her head was dazzling.

Chu Beiqing frowned slightly and held his breath in displeasure.

When Yan Qingning saw the person coming, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She didn't expect that Concubine Xian would come so quickly.

It was the mother of Prince Rui Chu Yuanli.

In Yan Qingning's memory, Concubine Xian showed great liking for the original owner.

However, after the original owner got into trouble, not only did Prince Rui disappear, but it was said that Concubine Xian also fell ill.

It seemed that Concubine Xian had probably heard the news of her entering the palace, and she must have immediately sent her confidants to look for her son.

I’m worried that Chu Yuanli will do something unwise because of her love affair.

It’s not that Yan Qingning was too arbitrary, but since the virtuous concubine appeared, she didn’t even look at herself.

The kind of complete disregard, I'm honored that she showed the human nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm so directly.

Xian Fei only smiled at Hui Fei before she spoke, "What a coincidence, I actually met Hui Fei here. So, let's go to Qinghe Hall together."

After saying that, Concubine Xian turned to Chu Yuanli and said, "I was just planning to send someone to look for you. I heard from Tao Zhi that you were here. Go quickly. Your brothers have already arrived. You little ones must not fall behind."

Concubine Hui saw that Concubine Xian was fine, and thought she could easily let it go. She said with a fake smile, "Concubine Xian has come at the right time. If you want to go to Qinghe Palace, you should first finish the matter at hand."

The virtuous concubine's eyelids twitched. She had already understood the general situation when she came here.

He felt a little more angry, towards his son, and mainly towards Yan Qingning, because it was all because of her.

But her expression froze for a moment, and she immediately asked in confusion: "In front of me? What's going on in front of me?"

Concubine Hui's face turned cold, "Why not let your son tell you in person what's going on?"

She didn't say much before because of her status as an elder. If it got out, people would think she was bullying the younger generation.

Now that Concubine Xian has arrived, Concubine Hui certainly won't just brush it off.

Besides, over the years, Concubine Xian had been trying to make things difficult for her, both overtly and covertly.

Chu Yuanli felt bitter in his mouth. He had originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to take Yan Qingning away with King Qing.

He also wanted to execute his mother first and report to her later.

No matter how his mother objected, Ning'er was already his at that time, and he would protect her.

but……

But at this moment, Chu Yuanli had no intention of backing out, "Mother, it was because my son saw Ning'er and couldn't control his emotions..."

Yan Qingning was very unhappy that King Rui had said this more than once, "King Rui..."

Yan Xiwei immediately spoke up, "Prince Rui, why don't you just say it frankly? You are frivolous and reckless. You molested my concubine in the palace in broad daylight. It's the same as having an affair with someone else and defiling the palace."

Humph, if Yan Qingning wants to excuse King Rui, it depends on whether she agrees or not.

Yan Qingning narrowed her eyes slightly, "Princess, I'm afraid you have misunderstood the words 'adultery' and 'fouling the palace'?"

Yan Xiwei immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up! You dare to speak so shamelessly after doing such a shameless thing..."

"Shut up!" Chu Beiqing shouted.

Yan Xiwei's heart tightened when she heard the words, "The prince is..."

Chu Beiqing glanced at her with a warning in his eyes. In the past, Yan Xiwei spoke calmly and did things properly.

But he was very unhappy with Yan Xiwei's behavior today. It was obviously a simple matter, but she interfered several times, making things more complicated.

Didn't she know that if she said something foul, it could cost a woman's life?
