The words "feeling unwell" immediately caught the attention of Xu Yaying and the others.

Seeing Shen Yuzhen's face flushed, the second princess hurriedly hugged her and asked, "Princess Zhuo, are you okay? Quickly call the imperial physician!"

"I'm fine, don't worry, Princess! Maybe I'm not drunk enough and I feel a little dizzy when the wind blows! Please forgive me, Queen Dowager, I really have to leave first!" Shen Yu leaned on the second princess and pinched her gently.

Lu Yuanqi was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she immediately glanced at the table secretly. Sure enough, the teacup had been taken away. Damn it! Shen Yu must have been ambushed!

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother immediately asked the Second Princess to accompany her to rest, but left Xu Yaying at a loss. After all, the palace banquet had not yet ended, and no one would blame Shen Yu because she was unwell.

Before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Lu Feiyan, who was full of excitement, and Xue Zhenzhen, who was pretending to be in deep thought. If she guessed correctly, the second princess would be fooled away soon... Ha! Did she really think she was unprepared?

On the other side, someone came to inform Lu Yingxing that Prince Zhuo was drunk and asked him to go over and take a look.

After Shen Yu left, Xue Zhenzhen's clothes were accidentally wet by the maid, so she went to change clothes.

The banquet finally got to the point and the real show was about to begin.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Feiyan asked knowingly, "Miss Xu, are you worried about Princess Zhuo?"

Xu Yaying looked at the woman in front of her with a strange expression. She had heard Shen Yu mention what happened that day in the palace. It was better to avoid this kind of lunatic who would disfigure herself at the slightest disagreement...

She tried her best to force a smile, "Of course I am worried, Princess Zhuo is my good friend! But I feel relieved to have the Second Princess accompany me!"

"That's right! Isn't it just drunkenness?" Lu Feiyan sneered in her heart, haha! Maybe your friend is having fun with a few male favorites now~ As for the second princess, she naturally didn't dare to touch her, and had already bribed the palace servants to lead her away.

Xu Yaying felt that her venomous gaze made her very uncomfortable. When she was about to give up and leave, a palace servant finally came running over in a panic and whispered something to the Queen Mother.

"Nonsense! How disgraceful!" The Queen Mother was furious and all the palace maids knelt on the ground.

Seeing them heading in the direction Shen Yu left, Xu Yaying suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Could her idol have fallen out?

As soon as the second princess returned to the courtyard where distinguished guests rested, she saw her father, the emperor, and her mother, both with serious faces, as well as the empress dowager who was walking towards her angrily.

She closed her eyes and something happened.

Just now, she sent Shen Yu to the wing room, and someone came to report that the child who had just performed had a conflict with the nobleman and was going to be arrested and taken to the Ministry of Punishment! She panicked, and after Shen Yu confirmed that she was just pretending to be a Chinese medicine, she still ordered her personal maid to guard the door and told no one to let her in, and she ran over there immediately.

But halfway through the run, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The performers were all arranged in the waiting room, guarded by the imperial guards, and they could not leave before the palace banquet was over. How could they conflict with the noble?

With this scene in front of her and the disappeared palace maid, what else could she not understand? !

My brother had just reminded me this morning to take good care of my young ladies, proving that he must have heard the news, but I still fell into the trap. Shen Yu, please don’t get into any trouble, otherwise I will be blamed for my death! !

"Mother, you are not feeling well. Why are you here instead of resting in the palace?" Everyone could see the emperor's displeasure from his attitude.

"How come I don't know when the emperor confined me to the Cining Palace?" The empress dowager was also dissatisfied. How dare this son show his power to her as soon as he saw her?

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I am just curious. The Cining Palace is very far away from here. How could Your Majesty have received the news in advance and rushed here?"

Everyone present wished they were deaf. Wasn't the emperor's words clearly telling everyone that if anything happened today, it would be the empress dowager's doing?

The Queen Mother was also shocked as she looked at this son whom she had never expected to have since childhood.

The emperor did mean that. He had received news that the queen mother was going to take action against Shen Yu! ? He had clearly told her not to act rashly. There was still a use for Shen Yu... Without her, how could he plant spies in the wedding party?

As a result, the Queen Mother not only took action, but also dared to take action at the Linyue State Banquet? Isn't this a slap in the face of herself in front of all the royal nobles?

Along the way, he prayed that nothing would really happen, otherwise all the royal nobles would refuse to come to Los Angeles for banquets in the future! Even the reasons were ready...

After all, he was such an incompetent emperor that he couldn't even protect the safety of Princess Zhuocheng who had already succeeded to the throne. How could he guarantee that the princes would be able to leave alive?

Unfortunately, the Queen Mother still naively thought that as long as Lu Feiyan took action, she could clear herself of the matter? How ridiculous! ! She had lived in the palace for many years, and all she had left in her mind was that old jealousy! !

Letting a foreign man into the palace? What did she think?

There are only two possible outcomes. Either they admit that under such strict palace restrictions as the state banquet, a mere man who can't fight can break through their defense line?

Or she could admit that the guards in the harem had always been lax, which was why men were allowed to come and go freely... But hadn't she ever thought about it? Regardless of the reason, how would all the women in the palace, including herself and the many concubines, prove their innocence?

The Queen obviously knew this, so she was obviously angry with the Queen Mother! She couldn't say that she was close to this aunt from a different clan, but she was respectful and honorable. The innocence of the concubine was important, but the Queen Mother should never use her Qi'er to harm her friend without her knowledge! !

If Shen Yu gets into trouble, you can imagine how much the chivalrous daughter will blame herself! Maybe she will never get out of this shadow for the rest of her life. It's so vicious!

The emperor suppressed all his anger and asked the maid who was kneeling in front of the courtyard gate, "What's going on?"

The maid knelt down in panic. Her frightened look made everyone know that something big must have happened. She cried and said, "Your Majesty, I am the maid of Princess Zhuo. She asked me to ask Your Majesty to save her. Your Majesty, please save our princess! Our princess did not volunteer! Our princess was forced, wuwuwu..."

The tone and content of her words made everyone present gasp. What did she mean? Did she want to express that Princess Zhuo was...Oh my God, who is so bold! ?

"You said you were Princess Zhuo's maid? I've been to the palace so many times, how come I've never seen you? Stop lying!" Xu Yaying, who had been hiding behind everyone, no longer cared about keeping a low profile when she heard this.

Just before she met the Queen Mother, a little palace maid deliberately bumped into her on the road and whispered in her ear, "We told the girl to keep a low profile today!"

Now that her idol is about to get into trouble, who will care about her grandfather? !
