Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Yunyou avoided other palace maids and eunuchs and came to the outside of Yunyuan Courtyard.

"master!"

Yunyou nodded to Xiao Zuochen who was standing outside the courtyard, and Xiao Zuochen knew that everything was going according to plan. At this time, Liuli and Chu Yao were standing on one side "obediently".

Xiao Zuochen said to the maid in Yunyuan.

"Aunt Yunyu, I'll leave first."

"Well, Your Highness, please take care of yourself. Don't worry about the Concubine. I will take good care of her."

"Ah."

Then Xiao Zuochen took Yun Wei, Chu Yao and Liu Li away. Yun You joined Yi Xing and they climbed out together.

By now, Prince Qing should have brought the imperial edict to the Ministry of Revenue. He is closest to the Meridian Gate, so he should be able to be seen if he leaves the palace now.

"Your Highness Prince Yun!"

When Xiao Zuochen walked through the Meridian Gate again, he met the gatekeeper again.

The guards saw the two familiar maids behind Prince Yun and seemed to understand something instantly. It seemed that Concubine Yun did not like these two maids.

"Alas~ Mother doesn't like crowds, so she won't keep them around."

“Although the Imperial Concubine did not accept them, the Imperial Concubine must be able to feel the filial piety of Prince Yun!”

"Ah."

After a few simple words, Yun Wei took back his sword, and several people prepared to get on the carriage and leave.

"Sixth brother!"

Prince Qing was in his carriage at this time. He opened the curtain and called out to Xiao Zuochen.

"Brother? Why are you here? Have you entered the palace as well?"

"Well, I went to the palace to ask for an imperial decree from my father. I wonder if you, my sixth brother, have time to go have a drink with me, my brother?"

"Oh, I am going to disappoint your kindness, brother. You know that I have always been in poor health, so I still cannot touch this wine."

As Xiao Zuochen spoke, a sad expression appeared on his face.

Chu Yao secretly rolled his eyes behind him. What a good actor. Every time they get together, they have to drink a few glasses. And they are weak.

"In that case, I won't force you. I'll go back home first."

"Brother, please."

Xiao Zuochen saluted towards Prince Qing's carriage, and the others lowered their heads and leaned slightly, and Prince Qing left first.

Afterwards, Xiao Zuochen and his companions also got on the carriage and left.

At this time, Yunyuan——

Aunt Yun Yu was handing a cup of tea to Concubine Yun.

"See? He's just like his father, he takes advantage of others!"

"Your Highness, you can't say that. Your Highness has a hard time living alone. Look at the Third Prince, he is so stupid, but he relies on the Queen to thrive in the palace."

"Humph! Birds of a feather!"

Concubine Yun was referring to the emperor, the empress, and the bad people in the palace.

"Your Highness, what happened back then has nothing to do with Your Highness. He was also forced to come into this world and is also a victim. After so many years, do you still blame him?"

Concubine Yun was silent for a few seconds and sighed.

"I just don't know how to face him. It's like waking up and finding out you've given birth to a child! Oh, forget it, don't mention it anymore!"

Concubine Yun turned around and went back into the house, leaving Yun Yu helplessly looking at her back. He didn't know when Concubine Yun would be able to untie her knot.

Fengqi Palace——

As soon as the queen returned to the bedroom, Teng Sen came to greet her.

"This is?"

Looking at the queen's slightly messy hair and the dust on her clothes, Teng Sen knew that she must have been plotted against. He couldn't help but recall the curious and shocked look in Liuli's eyes when she looked at him.

"Bring me the two maids who delivered the message today!"

The queen stormed into the bedroom, no longer calm as before. She walked forward while giving orders to Yuying.

"Empress..."

Yuying's tone was also pitiful. She was also miserable. She had just been frightened by the emperor and now she had to run errands for the queen.

"Go quickly!"

The queen stared at her. How outrageous! Even a personal maid dared to bargain with me!

Yuying had no choice but to obey the Queen's order and turned to walk out.

Teng Sen saw Yuying's sad expression and couldn't help laughing at her. Do you still want to have a master-servant relationship with the queen? How childish.

"Don't be angry, anger will give you wrinkles~"

Teng Sen followed the queen to comfort her. But it is not so easy for a woman to calm down when she is angry.

"Pinch it for me first!"

The queen sat in front of the dressing table, patted her shoulder, and motioned Teng Sen to massage her shoulders.

With an indulgent smile on his face, Teng Sen reached out to relax the queen's shoulders.

The queen closed her eyes as if she was enjoying it, but the tone of her voice still showed her anger.

"Do you know what happened today!?"

"what happens?"

"I was knocked unconscious on my way to Mingxiang Pavilion!"

"Ah? Are you injured?"

Teng Sen looked surprised, as if he had not expected it.

"My neck hurt, and the back of my head seemed to have hit something. When I woke up, I found myself lying in Mingxiang Pavilion. Mingxiang Pavilion had also been searched, and when I went there, even the secret passage was open. I was a little confused when I woke up, and didn't think too much about it. Now that I think about it, that person deliberately led me to see the secret passage, and then let the emperor think that I was going to do something! I don't know who is trying to frame me!"

The queen became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and in the end she even slammed the table with her hand.

After listening to this, Teng Sen smiled behind him.

The queen saw Teng Sen smiling through the mirror and frowned, as if she was acting coquettishly.

"What are you laughing at? I'm in such a miserable state, and you're still laughing at me!"

Teng Sen didn't respond to her, but rubbed her head and asked back.

"Yesterday you kept saying that the emperor and Xiao Zuochen went to Mingxiang Pavilion, and you secretly went there at night. Aren't you very curious about what they were doing there?"

"So what?"

"So, your purpose of going there was to find the secret room. Now that you know where it is, hasn't that achieved your goal? And the emperor must know that you went to Mingxiang Pavilion, otherwise how could he have happened to block you?"

The queen pondered for a moment, and it seemed that the emperor did mention his last visit to Mingxiang Pavilion.

"So what you mean is that my trip today is not in vain? But I still don't know what's in the secret room. Moreover, if the things in it are lost, wouldn't the emperor misunderstand that I stole it!?"

"First of all, this is a bit of a loss. After all, you were injured, and it still makes me feel bad. As for the things in the secret room, the emperor hasn't chased after you now, which means it's not lost. And since you already know where it is, are you still worried about not knowing what it is?"

As Teng Sen said this, he turned around and sat on the Queen's lap. Teng Sen himself was relatively thin, so the Queen could bear it.

"You have a mouth~ I really like what you say. Oh, by the way! The emperor also mentioned a man named Chu Yao, have you heard of him?"

Teng Sen raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's a man?"

"I don't know either. He mentioned this person for no apparent reason and asked me where he was."

The queen frowned again. She was still very angry when she thought about what had just happened.

"Okay, okay, don't think about these weird things. Just concentrate and think about me."

"Humph~"

The queen uttered a coquettish sound, and the two of them went to bed hugging each other again.
