If Chu Fei really cannot rely on General Lu, then they need to win over new allies as soon as possible so that Chu Fei can firmly sit on the position of crown prince.

"How could this be!" Chu Yuheng was shocked, "Why didn't Feifei tell me earlier?"

"I originally felt it was not important." Yu Wangfei sighed.

This was her fault. She should have told it earlier so that Chu Yuheng could prepare earlier.

"I'll ask someone to check it out." Chu Yuheng stood up with a frown. Then he walked to the bed and whistled towards the sky.

Then a white dove appeared in front of him. Chu Yuheng put a letter on the pigeon's leg and then let it fly away.

Seeing that Chu Yuheng took this matter seriously, Yu Wangfei nodded thoughtfully: "We still need to make some preparations. Xizhou may not be reliable."

In her opinion, regardless of whether General Lu is loyal to Chu Fei or not, Lu Xiaoting and Chu Fei have already developed a rift. In order to gain the upper hand in the future fight for the throne, they must find other help instead of placing all their hopes on one person.

"Even if Lu Xiaoting rebels, I believe that General Lu will never betray Chu Fei!" Chu Yuheng's eyes turned cold.

General Lu was the master who taught him martial arts, and he would never doubt his character.

"I know what you mean." Yu Wangfei stood up and looked at him, "But we can't rely on General Lu alone. It's better to find some allies."

"You don't need to ask about this matter. I will handle it." Chu Yuheng turned around and no longer paid attention to Yu Wangfei.

Seeing his expression, Yu Wangfei understood that he was angry with her because she mentioned his master. In that case, she let him investigate the matter carefully while she looked for another ally.

After coming out of the room, Yu Wangfei asked the housekeeper to copy the names of the civil and military officials in the court for her, and then she began to examine them.

After a closer look, she discovered that Chu Fei and Chu Aotian's power was relatively stable now, but these were just surface phenomena, and no one knew who the big shots were behind them.

On the second day, someone suddenly came to the Seventh Prince's mansion and said that they wanted to invite Yu Wangfei and Chu Yuheng to come into the mansion together.

But early this morning, Chu Yuheng hurried out of the house, and the housekeeper didn't know where he went.

In desperation, Yu Wangfei went there alone.

After arriving at the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Chu Fei sat on the chair with a dark face and a worried look, while Feng Zhao stood beside him with a sad face.

"What's wrong? Is there any movement in the Dali Temple?" Yu Wangfei asked.

"It's not about that." Feng Zhao shook his head and ordered all the servants to go out.

After the servants left, Chu Fei collapsed from his chair in an instant. With shaking hands, he looked at Yu Wangfei with a tragic expression: "Is there any medicine that can make me ugly and old, or make me impotent?"

"Huh?" Yu Wangfei asked in confusion.

This is the first time I heard of someone wanting to become impotent.

Looking at Yu Wangfei's expression, Chu Fei knew that it was not the case. He sat on the ground dejectedly, as if he had lost all his energy.

Feng Zhao sighed and explained to Yu Wangfei: "The Imperial Concubine said that Yueying's messenger will be here soon."

"What is the purpose of the Moon Shadow Messenger here?" Yu Wangfei wondered.

It was all because she died too early in her previous life. She had no idea what happened afterwards, let alone the purpose of the Moon Shadow Messenger's visit to Da Chu.

"Not only did Yueying send an envoy this time, but also a princess." Feng Zhao explained, "Yueying wanted to befriend Da Chu, so it sent the princess and the prince to marry."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wangfei was stunned. It turned out to be a marriage alliance.

I didn't expect that the marriage would take place just after the selection of the concubine was completed.

"Is the news reliable?"

Chu Fei nodded: "If he was unreliable, I wouldn't have made things so difficult for him."

That was a difficult problem to solve. From Yu Wangfei's perspective of wanting to help Chu Fei get promoted, it would be best for Chu Fei to marry Princess Yueying.

This way he could gain the support of the Moon Shadow Nation and thus have a second ally.

But as a friend, Yu Wangfei knew the relationship between Feng Zhao and Chu Fei, and knew that it was impossible for Chu Fei to be with Princess Yueying, so this matter became a little difficult to handle.

However, no matter what, Princess Yueying must not fall into Chu Aotian's hands. If Chu Aotian marries Princess Yueying and gets the help of Yueying Kingdom, there will be endless troubles.

"No matter what, don't let Chu Aotian and the princess get married." Yu Wangfei warned, "As for how to get rid of the marriage, I will go back and work with the prince to find a solution."

"Okay, thank you, Princess and Prince." Feng Zhao bowed.

He knew how helpless it was to be in the royal family. He didn't want Chu Fei to marry the princess, nor did he want Chu Aotian to marry the princess.

Just as the three of them were pondering how to resolve the matter, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, saying that someone from the Dali Temple had come to invite them over, and that a decision had been made on the flower-viewing banquet.

Therefore, Yu Wangfei had to put the marriage matter on hold for the time being and went to the Dali Temple with Chu Fei.

The reason why the Dali Temple Minister investigated the case so quickly was because the Emperor suddenly ordered him to investigate the matter before Princess Yueying came to Beijing.

Inside Dali Temple.

Lu Xiaoting and Su Yunyun sat on stools. After Yu Wangfei and Chu Fei walked in, the Dali Temple Minister immediately seated them.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the court session now!" the Dali Temple Chief Justice shouted.

Then the soldiers brought up the eunuch and the palace maid from that day.

Although the emperor had tortured them before, the Dali Temple still felt that they were hiding something.

"Your Highness, was it this little eunuch who took you to the side hall that day?"

Chu Fei glanced at the young eunuch and couldn't help but sigh: "My head was dizzy that day, and I don't remember the eunuch's face very well."

Seeing this, the Dali Temple Minister looked at Yu Wangfei and said, "Princess, was it this palace maid who wet your dress that day?"

"It's her." Yu Wangfei nodded.

She didn't drink that day, so she remembered the appearance of the palace maid.

"Okay." The Dali Temple Minister looked at the young eunuch and the palace maid and shouted, "How dare you, a slut, to murder the prince? This is a heinous crime. Come, beat them up!"

Hearing this, the maidservant cried out in injustice: "It's unfair, it's unfair, sir. I have never even seen His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, how can you accuse him of murdering him?"

"Send the evidence." The Dali Temple Minister shouted.

Then a soldier took out a packet of medicine powder, placed it in front of the young eunuch, and forced him to drink it.

The young eunuch resisted desperately and was unwilling to touch the packet of powder at all.

"My Lord, please spare my life, my Lord, please spare my life." The young eunuch shouted, "I am an imperfect person, I can't bear it..."

"Oh?" The Dali Temple official said with a smile, "Do you know what kind of powder this is?"

Hearing this, the young eunuch felt a chill on his back instantly. He quickly prostrated himself and lowered his head, not wanting to look at anyone in the hall again.
