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

In fact, they both could guess why the emperor did not punish Chu Aotian. After all, the current emperor was in his prime and was no longer in a hurry to select a prince to inherit the throne.

The forces in the court are complicated and intertwined. If not handled properly, it will lead to a complete loss and there will even be the risk of invasion by foreign enemies.

But now the eldest prince's faction and the seventh prince's faction can check and balance each other in the court, which has changed the situation again.

The emperor was unwilling to break this balance, so he could not take action against the two princes. Moreover, the royal family must have dignity in the hearts of the people. Even if the princes did something wrong, it must never be heard by the people.

"I'm going to leave the house in a while." Yu Wangfei said, "Xiao Ping has been poisoned, I want to help her detoxify."

"Okay." Chu Yuheng nodded and agreed, "I'll let the secret guards follow you."

"No need, Yunhua is outside, I'll let Yunhua come with me." Yu Wangfei responded.

"Okay." Chu Yuheng agreed.

He believed in Yunhua's skills. Yunhua was the maid he carefully selected to protect Yu Wangfei, but he did not expect that she would marry Gu Baili. As a result, she could not always protect Yu Wangfei.

It seems that he needs to select another maid from the secret guards as soon as possible to protect Yu Wangfei.

At dinner time, Yu Wangfei brought Yunhua to the prison of Dali Temple. She planned to collect blood from Pei Chengzhong's fingertips.

But the soldiers of Dali Temple reported to Yu Wangfei that the Pei family members had already set off and they were not detained in Dali Temple at all.

In broad daylight, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple arrested all the members of the Pei family and brought them to the Dali Temple, where they were convicted. The head of the Pei family also quickly confessed his crime and was executed. Then, people from above came to escort the male members of the Pei family to Lingnan overnight.

Why was the action so quick? Yu Wangfei felt that there must be some hidden story behind it. According to the law, they would be imprisoned on the same day and exiled the next day. Why was Pei Mansion an exception?

Could it be that the Dali Temple Minister had already investigated and found out that Chu Aotian was the man behind the Pei family, and in order to prevent the matter from getting bigger and bigger, he sent the man away overnight.

Apart from this reason, Yu Wangfei couldn't think of any other reason.

And she couldn't keep thinking about these things now. If Pei Chengzhong really left, Xiaoping would completely lose hope of living.

So Yu Wangfei and Yun Hua immediately rode their horses towards the route where Pei Mansion was being escorted.

After walking for about an hour, Yu Wangfei finally saw the men of the Pei mansion camping and resting in the distance.

She immediately dismounted and walked in front of Pei Chengzhong. Before everyone could react, Yu Wangfei took out her acupuncture needle and pricked Pei Chengzhong's fingertips. Then she took out a small cup to collect the blood from her fingertips.

"What are you doing!" Pei Chengzhong immediately dodged backwards in pain.

The soldier guarding the people in Pei Mansion quickly stepped forward and asked, "Princess, they are all wanted criminals of the imperial court. It is not appropriate to do this!"

The soldiers thought Yu Wangfei was here to kidnap someone.

"What's wrong? This princess just wants some of his blood. I don't want to save him. The death of someone like him has nothing to do with me." Yu Wangfei snorted coldly.

Only then did she see clearly what the Pei family members were wearing.

Although it was midsummer, they were half-dressed. Their clothes seemed to have been worn by many people and emitted a foul smell.

"Princess, this..." The soldier didn't know what to say. It was the first time he saw someone catching up with their team just to take some blood.

Upon seeing this, the Patriarch of the Pei family stood up and bowed respectfully to Yu Wangfei: "Greetings, Princess. Did you come here just to take blood?"

"Of course, your precious son poisoned someone, and I need his blood to detoxify him." Yu Wangfei told the truth, "This is the upbringing of your Pei family. Haha, you poisoned a weak woman who can't even lift a chicken."

"Nonsense, I never poisoned Xiaoping!" Pei Chengzhong retorted.

He suddenly remembered that Xiaoping had said during the day that he had poisoned her and that she would not live long, but he had never poisoned her.

"Could it be my mother..." Pei Chengzhong said to himself.

Yu Wangfei heard this and looked at Pei Chengzhong in confusion, asking, "What mother are you talking about?"

"No, nothing." Pei Chengzhong immediately shook his head.

Anyway, his life has been ruined, so he will not let Xiaoping live well. Since Xiaoping is really poisoned, let her die.

Yu Wangfei noticed Pei Chengzhong's abnormality, and after hearing what he said just now, he felt that the person who poisoned him might be Madam Pei.

But now that Pei Chengzhong's fingertip blood has been collected, we should try to make an antidote first. If this antidote doesn't work, we will go to Mrs. Pei for blood again.

Thinking of this, Yu Wangfei was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he mounted his horse and returned to the capital.

It was already Chou time when they returned to Beijing. Yu Wangfei hurriedly began to prepare the antidote. Xiaoping heard the noise, put on a cloak and went to Yu Wangfei's room.

"Drink this." Yu Wangfei had just made the antidote.

Xiao Ping drank the bowl of medicine in confusion. Yu Wangfei then checked her pulse, but found that her pulse had not changed. Could it be that the medicine needed time to take effect? ​​It seemed that we would only know tomorrow.

After cleaning up everything, Yu Wangfei came to Chu Yuheng's room. She was tired after a day's work and her eyes were slightly closed.

Seeing her so weak, Chu Yuheng struggled to get up from the bed with heartache, and then held her in his arms.

"Why did you get up? Your wound..." Yu Wangfei said worriedly, "Go back and lie down quickly. Don't let the wound tear."

"It's okay. I'm a man who has fought on the battlefield. How could I be unable to get out of bed because of such a minor injury?" Chu Yuheng smiled and helped him to the bed.

"They exiled everyone in the Pei Mansion today." Yu Wangfei told everything he heard in the Dali Temple.

Chu Yuheng frowned slightly when he heard this. It seemed that it was not only the emperor's handiwork behind this. It was impossible for his royal brother to let the male of the Pei family leave so quickly just to protect Chu Aotian.

"Don't think about it, just rest first." Chu Yuheng smiled and returned to the bed, then took Yu Wangfei into his arms and closed his eyes.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next day when Yu Wangfei woke up, she first changed the medicine for Chu Yuheng, and then anxiously called Xiaoping to take his pulse.

Strangely, Xiaoping's pulse remained unchanged, and her poisoning became even worse.

Could it really be that Madam Pei poisoned her?

There is no other way but to find Mrs. Pei first.

So Yu Wangfei asked the housekeeper to find out the whereabouts of the women in the Pei Mansion, and then set off with Xiaoping and Yunhua.

What the three of them had not expected was that after being driven out of the Pei Mansion, the women of the Pei family ended up living on the slums. That was the place that Madam Pei despised the most, and now she had become a part of the slums.
