After Yu Wangfei returned to the Yu Mansion, Chu Yuheng immediately came to find her.

The spy he had planted in the palace just now had reported today's events to him truthfully. It was all his fault for not accompanying Yu Wangfei today, otherwise Su Yunyun would not have had the opportunity to frame Yu Wangfei.

"You've been wronged." Chu Yuheng pulled her into his arms and stroked her head lovingly.

"Your Majesty has asked the Supreme Court to investigate this matter thoroughly. I believe the truth will be revealed in a few days. But I am worried..." Yu Wangfei's face was a little sad, "I am worried that he will find out about the Seventh Prince and Lord Feng."

"It's okay, don't worry. This matter concerns the royal family's desires. Even if the Dali Temple Minister knows about this, he will definitely not leak it to the outside world." Chu Yuheng comforted.

He knew the character of the Dali Temple Minister, so Chu Yuheng felt more at ease when he let him investigate the matter of the Imperial Garden thoroughly.

"By the way, Lu Xiaoting didn't return to the general's mansion." Yu Wangfei said.

When she came out of the palace, she saw with her own eyes Lu Xiaoting getting on the carriage of the Duke of England's Mansion, and the carriage was also heading towards the Duke of England's Mansion.

If Lu Xiaoting escapes from their control, something might happen.

"I know." Chu Yuheng nodded. His spies were all over the capital, so he knew Lu Xiaoting's whereabouts very well. "Since she wants to stay in the Duke of England's mansion, let her stay. I believe the Duke of England will understand the situation."

Although Su Yunyun's current actions seem to indicate that she is trying to declare war on Chu Fei, the Duke of England can see that the Emperor intends to let Chu Fei inherit the throne.

Of course, this was also the reason why he sent Su Yunyun to the palace to participate in the selection of concubines. However, he did not expect that Su Yunyun would do that in the palace, which aroused the disgust of Chu Fei and Yu Wangfei.

At this time, in a teahouse not far from the Duke of England's Mansion, Lu Xiaoting and Su Yunyun were sitting at a table drinking tea.

Suddenly a man came in from outside the door, took off his cloak, and then sat on the upper seat.

"Crown Prince, you are finally here." Lu Xiaoting said with a smile.

Su Yunyun took the initiative to pour tea for Chu Aotian, and behaved very respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving us from the mansion."

"This is all your master's intention." Chu Aotian picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.

It turned out that Chu Aotian had proposed Chu Fei's selection of a concubine to the emperor in order to allow Su Yunyun and Lu Xiaoting to break free from Chu Yuheng's control and allow the two of them to leave the mansion smoothly.

After all, if the two of them were kept locked up in the mansion, his plan with that person would not be able to be implemented.

"As long as you listen to your master's orders and help me get that position, I won't treat you unfairly." Chu Aotian looked at the two of them with a smile.

Lu Xiaoting responded very domineeringly: "Of course, my father is such a stubborn old man, he actually wanted to help Chu Fei get promoted, it's simply hilarious."

"Your Highness." Su Yunyun frowned, as if she had thought of something, "But Yu Wangfei did not drug Chu Fei. What if the Dali Temple finds out the truth?"

Although she followed her master's orders and made a big fuss about the matter and let the Dali Temple take over, Su Yunyun also knew that the Dali Temple was an upright person and would definitely find out the truth and clear the person's name.

If he really found out the truth, how would he and Lu Xiaoting deal with it.

"You don't have to worry about this. Even if he finds the murderer, he won't find it down to you." Chu Aotian smiled slightly.

If the Dali Temple Minister really found the real murderer, then he could just release a scapegoat.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Yunyun lowered her head gratefully.

At night, Yu Wangfei recalled what happened during the day. Lu Xiaoting's behavior was clearly not giving face to Chu Fei. Not only did she want to drag herself into the water, she also wanted to make Chu Fei lose his royal dignity in front of everyone.

But isn't Lu Xiaoting on Chu Fei's side? What is her intention in doing this? Could it be...

Yu Wangfei didn't dare to think about that. She was worried that if Lu Xiaoting really betrayed Chu Aotian and joined his camp, there would be trouble.

Now that Chu Yuheng has lost his military power, it would be dangerous if he loses the support of General Lu.

Just in case, Yu Wangfei told Chu Yuheng his guess.

"That's impossible. I believe in General Lu's character. He won't go back on his promise to us." Chu Yuheng said.

After all, he had served as a soldier under General Lu for several years and knew General Lu's temper very well. He would never abandon Chu Fei and get close to Chu Aotian.

"What if Lu Xiaoting betrayed us?" Yu Wangfei asked.

She had never met General Lu and had only heard his story from Chu Yuheng. However, because Chu Yuheng trusted General Lu, Yu Wangfei did not doubt that he would betray her, but she could not be completely reassured.

"Xiaoting..." Chu Yuheng was speechless and didn't know what to say for a while.

The previous Lu Xiaoting was not as petty as she is now. At that time, they were all in the military camp. Not only did Lu Xiaoting not have any airs of a lady, she also trained with the soldiers and fought and killed the enemies.

So Chu Yuheng originally thought that Lu Xiaoting was a woman with a straightforward personality.

But ever since Lu Xiaoting returned to the capital and met Yu Wangfei, she seemed to have changed, becoming a little unlike the girl from Xizhou, so Chu Yuheng couldn't say whether Lu Xiaoting would betray him.

"You know, when we were in Jiangnan City, Lu Xiaoting was not as innocent as she seemed." Yu Wangfei took a breath.

Originally, she didn't plan to tell anyone about what happened in Jiangnan City and Heping County, but if she didn't tell Chu Yuheng now, she was afraid that he would always be kept in the dark.

"When I entered the city with Li Xingtang and County Magistrate Lin, I met Lu Xiaoting. Our original plan was to hold back Mo Ruyi and the others and let Lu Xiaoting sneak out of the city, but she had already colluded with Mo Ruyi, so we were captured alive."

Hearing this, Chu Yuheng's face changed. He had never thought that Lu Xiaoting would do such a bad thing. He didn't have much contact with Lu Xiaoting when he was in Jiangnan City, and he didn't know that she had colluded with Mo Ruyi in a corner unknown to him.

Why did Lu Xiaoting do this?

"When in Ping County, although Lu Xiaoting was kidnapped and taken to a brothel, she was quite familiar with the internal structure of the brothel. Moreover, with her skills, how could she have been kidnapped? There is something strange about this." Yu Wangfei finally spoke out all the words that had been suppressed in her heart.

Originally, he was reluctant to tell Chu Yuheng because he was worried that it would destroy the comradeship between Chu Yuheng and Lu Xiaoting. He was worried that Lu Xiaoting might be dissatisfied and would write a letter to inform General Lu who was far away in Xizhou, which would be troublesome.

But now Yu Wangfei felt that she had to say that she must let Chu Yuheng make his own judgment.
