The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

The emperor used the scandal at the palace banquet as an excuse to dismiss all the palace guards, even the commander of the imperial guards. He also used the safety of the palace as an excuse to stipulate that during this period, anyone entering the palace must be invited by someone in the palace and given an invitation token, otherwise they would not be allowed in.

The commander of the guards had no choice as he couldn't afford to offend anyone here.

"Invitation token? What is this?" Lu Ziyou asked.

"Your Highness, this is an invitation letter from the palace. You can only enter the palace with this token!"

There was a solemn look in the eyes of several people. Of course, they had already inquired about this clearly, but that only applied to ordinary dignitaries. The royal nobility has always had privileges, so they did not expect that someone would dare to stop them at the palace gate. However, they did not ask any more questions. With the level of the gatekeeper, he really could not handle it. Several people looked at each other and were about to speak.

"Oh? Are you talking about this?" The second prince's voice came faintly, and he took out a red square token from his arms, with a big word "Invite" engraved on it.

The commander of the imperial guards felt like life was hopeless at this moment. He knew that encountering the Second Prince, this evil star in the palace, would definitely not be a good thing!

Although the Second Prince loves to stir up trouble, he never crosses His Majesty's bottom line and knows how to handle things. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain, smiling ingratiatingly, "Reporting to His Royal Highness, this invitation was issued by the palace, and visitors enter the palace with a token."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"That's right. How about you come back tomorrow?" Please leave quickly. I have a day off tomorrow!

The second prince smiled handsomely under his expectant eyes, walked back, and directly gave the token to Shen Yu.

"Here you go! An invitation! Come in!"

The guards: "………………"

Shen Yu took the token with a smile, "Excuse me, can we go in?" Seeing that they looked embarrassed, she continued, "The main reason for entering the palace today is that the prince of Youcheng finally found his brother who had been lost for many years, and he is anxious to bring him to the palace to see the emperor. It's okay for us not to go in...but..."

"Just what?" The guard commander looked a little better when he heard her say that they didn't have to go in.

Shen Yu said with an understanding look, "It's just that the prince and I are also involved in this matter... If the emperor asks about the details, I am the only one who knows, and I am afraid that he will have to urgently summon us to the palace... In fact, the palace ban this time is also to prevent people from sneaking in. We are all familiar faces, so we are definitely not included in this list! How about we go to the second prince's palace to sit? If the emperor summons us, we will go there, otherwise we will sit for a while and leave the palace directly... Is this okay?"

Shen Yu was sure that these guards would not know the emperor's true thoughts. After all, he loved to pretend in front of others and act as if he loved Lu Yingxing very much. So who would have thought that the main purpose of his palace confinement was to prevent them from entering the palace to bid farewell?

Lu Ziyou looked at this considerate woman with sparkling eyes, who looked unwilling to embarrass others. It was really fun to hang out with them during this period of time!

"Well..." The commander of the guards hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. The princess was right. This palace ban was not mainly aimed at them, and with the second prince leading them, there was no need to worry about any problems.

Then the group successfully sneaked into the palace and rushed all the way to Minghe Hall.

"Meet the Emperor!"

The emperor, sitting high on the throne, was too late to hear the news. It was just after the morning court session and the crowd was still there. The prince of Youcheng found his brother who had been missing for many years in Luocheng? He couldn't refuse such a big thing, so he had to meet him with a dark face.

A group of ministers did not leave upon seeing this. Each of them had his own little thoughts and looked at this group of young people thoughtfully.

As an emperor, he didn't like people who were out of control. He didn't care that Prince Zhuo had his own plans. No matter how much power he developed, the final outcome would only be cannibalization. But Shen Yu was an accident. Since she appeared, Prince Zhuo had broken away from the soil he had circled and grew outward...

He didn't mind the royal nobles banding together, and was even happy to see them fighting each other. However, he never expected that because of a little Shen Yu, Youcheng and Zhuocheng would stand on the same front.

The control over Zhuocheng had always been carried out in secret. It was also because of Shen Yu who came up with a recruitment plan, forcing him to put all his hidden chess pieces on the table, just to seize the initiative more quickly. Originally, he could have taken it slow and done it more covertly...

Because of this little character that he could easily kill, he had to reveal part of his plan... After all these years, the influence of Prince Zhuo on the fiefdom has been very low. In the eyes of the people of Zhuocheng, the emperor is the one who can provide them with food and clothing, and who needs respect and worship. In the end... it was Shen Yu who actually sent people back to plant, improve the soil quality, vigorously build workshops, and the "Heavenly Secret Pavilion" built by those little ghosts...

The most hateful thing is that she did everything in the name of Prince Zhuo, and even deliberately spread the rumor that Prince Zhuo was selling treasures for the people of Zhuo City, and that Princess Zhuo was willing to auction her dowry. This made Lu Yingxing and Prince Zhuo's reputation rise to the highest level in decades, even surpassing his father's generation...

It would be fine if that were the case, as he could always find a chance to sabotage it. However, Shen Yu should never openly target the people of Luocheng and even think of taking them back to Zhuocheng. Such a person cannot be allowed to stay.

"Lord Shen, did you know that the third young master of Youcheng was saved by your daughter?" The emperor asked Shen Nian with a smile, but today, under the emperor's peaceful smile, people always felt a little cold for no reason.

"Your Majesty...I don't know..." Shen Nian understood that the emperor wanted him to take the credit, but he didn't look at the actual situation, so he had no idea where to start!

"Oh? Wasn't Shen Yu still unmarried at that time? She should not have known Prince Zhuo at that time? How come I heard that it was Prince Zhuo's Mansion who saved the young master of Prince You's Mansion?" A minister who was obviously the emperor's lackey echoed the words, obviously trying to lead the rhythm, implying that Lu Yingxing and Shen Yu had already had a secret relationship.

“Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Zhuo had been living in Lingzhu Temple for a long time and had no contact with the Shen Mansion. It was Madam Ye who usually took care of the princess, and it was the guards of the Ye Mansion who saved my brother… To be precise, it should have been Princess Zhuo and the Ye Mansion who saved him, but the reason my brother and I met was indeed because of the Zhuo Mansion!” Lu Feifeng secretly cursed the emperor for being shameless and actually wanted to forcibly put the credit on the Shen family.

“Everyone in Luo City knows that Princess Zhuo was persecuted by her stepmother and was saved by Master Zhu Ling. Madam Ye and Master Ye treat her as their own daughter. Apart from her surname Zhuo, Princess Zhuo doesn’t seem to have much relationship with Lord Shen, right?” Shen Nian’s mortal enemy stepped forward. How could he miss such an opportunity!

"You are slandering me!" Lord Shen immediately retorted

"Is Shen Yu here?" The emperor glanced at everyone in the hall and didn't see the culprit, so he asked with a smile on his face.
