Yu Wangfei knew that the first group of people that night were going after Anar, while the people brought by Su Yunyun were coming for him.

The reason why Su Yunyun planned this was probably to prove her position in Chu Yuheng's heart.

After hearing what Yu Wangfei said, Messenger Yueying didn't want to argue any further and could only nod and leave.

On the same day, Chu Yuheng informed Chu Fei of the matter and asked him to explain to the emperor and send more people from the palace to the princess's mansion to protect Anar. As for his secret guards, it was naturally inconvenient for them to show up.

After all, Anar is now in the capital, and the emperor is worried that she will die in Da Chu, so he orders Chu Fei, Yu Yu and Chu Aotian to investigate the matter thoroughly and find out who wants to kill Anar.

As soon as the order was issued, the court officials spontaneously split into two factions and began to compete secretly. They knew that the emperor issued this order because he wanted to choose one of the two princes to inherit the position of crown prince.

To put it simply, whoever finds the real murderer first can marry Anar and become the crown prince.

With this motivation, Chu Aotian also became busy. Before, he had been worried that he would not be able to see Anar, and was afraid that Chu Fei would be the first to win the princess's favor.

But now, Chu Aotian is fully confident that he is better than Chu Fei because of the man in black robe behind him.

He knew the methods of the man in black robe. If the murderer was not found within the specified time, he would invent a murderer and hand him over.

As for Chu Fei, he was happy and at ease. He didn't want to marry Anar in the first place, and now that it became an investigation case, he had even less motivation.

Fortunately, Feng Zhao was by his side and could see the situation clearly. He kept following him and urged him to investigate the case as soon as possible.

However, Chu Yuheng did not get involved in this case. He also wanted to see how Chu Fei investigated the case. He felt that it was time for Chu Fei to grow up.

Therefore, Chu Yuheng devoted all his energy to training the secret guards, and he also specially asked Yunhua to return to the secret guard camp to help him train new secret guards.

Why did he want to train new secret guards? It was because of the Lu family army. Lu Xiaoting was no longer on the same side as them. General Lu was probably also considering whether to switch to Chu Aotian's camp, or just stay out of the matter.

On the other hand, Chu Yuheng could not be 100% sure that the Yueying Kingdom would choose Chu Fei. To be on the safe side, he had to speed up the training of new secret guards to prevent things from getting out of his control.

Yu Wangfei has been helping out at Huichuntang these days. Anar was bored and took the initiative to ask to learn medical skills from her.

So, Yu Wangfei taught her personally.

That night, after Yu Wangfei and Anar finished their busy work in Huichun Hall, they planned to take a carriage back home.

But when they came out of Huichun Hall, they found that the streets were brightly lit. Was there no curfew at that moment?

Then Yu Wangfei saw a few children playing in the street with lanterns in their hands. Looking forward, he saw a troupe of actors performing in the middle of the street.

"Why is it different from yesterday?" Anar asked puzzledly.

She knew that there was a curfew in Da Chu, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets after dark, let alone these bustling little vendors.

"I remember, today is Mid-Autumn Festival." Yu Wangfei suddenly realized.

It was all her fault that she had been too busy these days and had forgotten about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Fortunately, the housekeeper reminded her this morning to return home early for the reunion dinner, and she suddenly remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Mid-Autumn Festival?" Anar asked.

There are no such festivals in Yueying Kingdom, so she doesn't know what this festival means to the people of Da Chu.

"Yes, Mid-Autumn Festival." Yu Wangfei explained, "It's the day for the whole family to get together. Usually during this festival, we will cancel the curfew, light lanterns to pray for blessings, and eat moon cakes."

Thinking of mooncakes, Yu Wangfei suddenly realized that Chu Yuheng had been training secret guards in the secret guard camp these days, and probably hadn't eaten the mooncakes properly. She might as well buy some and bring them back to enjoy with him.

"Mooncake?" Anar was puzzled.

"Come with me." Yu Wangfei smiled and took Anar's hand, leading her to a mooncake stall.

Yu Wangfei took out a few coins and handed them to the stall owner, then picked up a mooncake and put it in Anar's hand.

"Anar, you should try it too. This mooncake is only available in our Great Chu."

Anar looked at the round mooncake curiously, took a tentative bite, and instantly a sweet smell filled her mouth: "Delicious, this cake is very delicious."

There are no mooncakes in Yueying, and they don’t celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival there either.

"Boss, pack a few more for me." Yu Wangfei said.

In the past, I would celebrate the festival with my parents at this time, but now my parents are in Jiangnan City, and I don’t know if they have adapted to the environment there or if they miss home.

For a moment, Yu Wangfei felt empty in her heart. She hoped that Chu Yuheng and Chu Fei could settle the issue of the crown prince before the New Year, so that she could bring her father and mother back to the capital to celebrate the New Year happily.

After the two of them bought mooncakes, Yu Wangfei wanted to take Anar to buy a lantern.

Just when they came to a lantern stall, several men in black suddenly jumped out from the crowd from somewhere. They walked cautiously behind Yu Wangfei, took out a handkerchief from their arms and tried to knock Yu Wangfei and Anar unconscious.

Fortunately, Yu Wangfei was an expert doctor and she could smell the scent of the love potion instantly. Then, through the bronze mirror placed on the lantern stall, she saw several masked men in black not far behind her.

Yu Wangfei immediately pulled Anar up and ran away.

Fortunately, the Royal Guards were not far away. When they saw Yu Wangfei and Anar panicking, they immediately realized what was going on and rushed forward to fight with the group of men in black.

But because the guards were all wearing coarse linen clothes, and the masked men in black were also wearing ordinary clothes, the people thought it was a new show by some opera troupe, and they stopped to watch. Yu Wangfei and Anar were able to escape successfully.

After returning to Princess Yueying's mansion, the messenger just came out with a sword in hand.

When he saw Yu Wangfei and Anar coming back together, he instantly became furious. He took Anar directly into the house and ordered everyone to leave.

At this time, Yu Wangfei stood aside, not knowing whether she should leave or not. It was not right for her to leave, nor was it right for her not to leave.

"I shouldn't have let you leave the house!" The messenger cursed, and then he pointed the finger at Yu Wangfei, "Why did you take her to the night market? If you had brought her back home earlier, how could this happen?"

Just now he heard the servants in the mansion report that the person who tried to assassinate Princess Yueying appeared again, so he picked up his sword and went there.

"It's not her fault. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival in Da Chu." Anar explained, "I also want to see this festival. After all, there is no Mid-Autumn Festival in Yueying."
