I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.

However, Lu Xiaoting today was different from the past. She did not take the initiative to cause trouble for Yu Wangfei, nor did she talk to Yu Wangfei. It was as if she didn't know her at all and pretended to be a stranger.

Since this is the case, Yu Wangfei is also happy and at ease.

Suddenly, a maid walked out from behind the rockery. She looked at Yu Wangfei stealthily, then picked up a glass of wine and quietly came to Yu Wangfei's side.

She lowered her head so that no one could see his face. She pretended to slip and accidentally spilled the wine in her hand onto Yu Wangfei's skirt: "Please forgive me, Princess. I didn't mean it."

Seeing this, Yu Wangfei frowned in confusion. She had seen this maid near the rockery, and now she deliberately wet her skirt. What did she want to do?

"Please go change clothes with me, my lady." The maid explained, but worried that Yu Wangfei would not go with her, she said softly, "It's your Majesty's business."

Hearing this, Yu Wangfei thought that the emperor wanted her to take her pulse again. After all, she still had a deep impression of the last time when he asked her to come to the palace late at night to take her pulse. It was also that night that Yu Wangfeng was not allowed to leave the palace without permission after entering the palace.

It seems that there is indeed a problem in the palace, otherwise why would the Emperor of Chu summon her to an audience in this way?

"Okay, I understand." Yu Wangfei nodded, then told Xiaoping not to follow her.

When the imperial concubine saw Yu Wangfei go out with the maid, she knew it was the emperor's intention, so she pretended not to see it and ignored it.

The Emperor asked her to hold a flower-viewing banquet probably just to meet Yu Wangfei, but the Imperial Concubine was not worried that Yu Wangfei would become a concubine in the harem. After all, everyone in the people knew that Chu Yuheng was engaged to her.

If the emperor trapped someone in the palace and made him a concubine, he would probably be laughed at by people all over the world.

After leaving the banquet, Yu Wangfei followed the guidance of the eunuch to a side hall. Then the eunuch respectfully withdrew and asked Yu Wangfei to wait there.

The last time the emperor summoned her to take his pulse was in the imperial study. Why was she doing it in the side hall this time? Could it be that the emperor's condition has worsened?

Outside the palace, Chu Yuheng instructed his servants to prepare dinner and then drove to the palace gate to wait for Yu Wangfei to leave the palace.

But he did not wait for Yu Wangfei, he only waited for Madam Pei.

When Mrs. Pei saw Chu Yuheng outside the palace gate, she bowed to him very respectfully, then thinking about her son, she walked over boldly.

"Your Madam Pei pays her respects to the Ninth Prince." Madam Pei thought that if she could establish a good relationship with Chu Yuheng, the Supreme Court Justice might hastily close the case, so that she would not be deeply involved, and there would be no need for the head of the Pei family to sever ties with Pei Chengzhong to save the Pei family.

"Yeah." Chu Yuheng didn't pay much attention and just nodded lightly.

Madam Pei boldly took the initiative to talk to Chu Yuheng: "The Ninth Prince is waiting for Princess Pingle and Miss Lu here, right?"

As everyone knows, Lu Xiaoting and Chu Yuheng have a close relationship and they are like comrades-in-arms, so Mrs. Pei made such a guess.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuheng was stunned. How come Lu Xiaoting was also in the palace?

Didn't he instruct his men to keep an eye on Lu Xiaoting and not let her leave the house to avoid trouble? Why did she also go to the flower-viewing banquet?

"Lu Xiaoting is here too?" Chu Yuheng asked.

"Of course, Lu Xiaoting is a heroine and a role model for women in the Great Chu State. How could she not be here?" Mrs. Pei deliberately boasted.

"Madam Pei, you'd better not say such things in the future. The only role model for women in the Great Chu is the Queen." Chu Yuheng snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "It turns out that Madam Pei taught Master Pei to be ignorant of current affairs."

After saying this, he didn't care what Madam Pei thought and walked straight into the palace, leaving Madam Pei standing alone in the wind, disheveled.

Although the emperor ordered that Chu Yuheng was not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, he could not care less now. Lu Xiaoting was in the palace now, and something was bound to happen. He was worried about leaving Yu Wangfei alone in the palace.

As soon as Chu Yuheng stepped into the Imperial Garden, he heard a maid shouting, "Oh no, oh no, Princess Pingle is missing!"

Chu Yuheng's spirit immediately tensed up. He didn't care that all the people present were women and rushed directly into the banquet.

When the imperial concubine saw him coming, she froze for a moment, then remembered the maid's cry just now, and ordered everyone to look for Yu Wangfei first, and the female relatives present also withdrew from the table one after another.

Yunhua took Xiaoping to Chu Yuheng and told him everything that had just happened.

But she did not hear what the maid said to Yu Wangfei, which is why Yu Wangfei left the table with her to change clothes.

"You shouldn't have come." The imperial concubine came down from her high seat and couldn't help but sigh, "His Majesty said that no one can enter the palace without a summons. If you come now, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to you and Xiao Qi."

"I know what's going on." Chu Yuheng looked at the Imperial Concubine, "We need to find the princess as soon as possible. Please allow me to move around the palace."

"No, you are not summoned to the palace right now. If you walk around in the palace, it will definitely cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction." The imperial concubine warned, "I have sent all my men to look for Princess Pingle, so don't worry."

How could Chu Yuheng feel at ease when Yu Wangfei disappeared? But he also knew that he had committed a mistake by entering the palace without being summoned. If he walked around the palace casually, he would probably be shot on the spot.

At this time, Chu Yuheng set his sights on Yunhua: "You are a woman, you go find her."

"Okay." The imperial concubine saw Chu Yuheng's intention to agree and nodded in agreement.

So, Yunhua received the order and started searching in the palace with the maid given by the imperial concubine.

Suddenly, a young eunuch shouted towards the Imperial Garden: "Found it, found it, but..."

Hearing this, everyone walked out of the Imperial Garden. Lu Xiaoting directly snatched the lantern from the maid beside her and strode to the young eunuch: "Where is the princess? Lead the way!"

"But but..." The little eunuch lowered his head timidly, not daring to tell the truth.

"But what? Take us there quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble if anything happens to the princess!" Lu Xiaoting threatened.

With no other options, the young eunuch had to lead the way, while Lu Xiaoting and the other female relatives present followed behind.

For some reason, Chu Yuheng always felt that this matter was not that simple.

The Imperial Concubine was also very confused. Didn't the Emperor call Yu Wangfei over? Why did she suddenly disappear, and now she was suddenly found.

Forget it, I'd better meet her first to find out what happened to her.

So Chu Yuheng and the imperial concubine followed Lu Xiaoting and the others to a side hall.

"Why did you bring me here? We are looking for Princess Pingle!" Lu Xiaoting kicked the little eunuch angrily.

The young eunuch immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My Lady, spare my life."
