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

“Anyone who can hang around in the ghost market must know us.” Chu Yuheng stroked the mask on his face and quietly looked at the casual customers in the lobby on the first floor.

Everyone who comes to the ghost market wears a mask, and no one knows their identity. One can only judge their identity during the day by their clothes.

As the last group of people came in, the auction officially began. The waiter brought up a jade bracelet and offered a price of one hundred taels.

The bracelet was very smooth and shiny, showing a blue-green luster under the candlelight. It was definitely not an ordinary item.

But Yu Wangfei seemed to have seen this bracelet somewhere. After thinking about it for a moment, she suddenly remembered that wasn’t this a piece of jewelry from the palace?

She had seen this treasure in a side hall when she entered the palace before. If she remembered correctly, this bracelet should belong to the imperial concubine.

"This is from the palace." Yu Wangfei was surprised, "Aren't all the treasures in this treasure pavilion from the palace?"

"It seems so." There was a hint of coldness in Chu Yuheng's tone, but his expression could not be seen clearly because he was wearing a mask.

I never thought that things from the palace would appear in the ghost market.

It seems that the counterfeit money and the stolen treasures are from the same group of people, and this group of people is very short of money, so they held an auction in the ghost market.

"One thousand taels!" Someone in the hall has already raised the price to one thousand taels.

Yu Wangfei said calmly: "One thousand and one hundred taels."

After all, it was the imperial concubine's bracelet, and it had to be redeemed no matter what. Moreover, if these treasures were obtained, there would be evidence that the treasures were stolen.

"One thousand five hundred taels!" a young man from the next room shouted, "This bracelet looks very good to me."

Hearing this, Chu Yuheng stood up, walked to the railing, and looked at the person opposite through the gap between the two private rooms: "My wife likes this thing very much, brother, why don't you give it to me."

"What a coincidence, my concubine also likes it very much." The man opposite had no intention of backing down.

Seeing that his words were not going to make any sense, Chu Yuheng threatened directly: "Okay, no matter how much this young master bids, I will add a hundred taels to his price."

I originally thought that every penny saved would be the best, but since this person wanted to compete with me financially, then Chu Yuheng would do it.

After all, he is the ninth prince of the Great Chu, and his palace is very wealthy, so it is impossible for him to be a match for this man.

After hearing Chu Yuheng's words, the person in the private room next door was obviously stunned for a moment. He smiled brightly and explained: "In that case, then I will give it to you, young master."

In this way, Yu Wangfei successfully got the jade bracelet.

The two did not continue bidding for the next items, but just looked at the treasures quietly, seeing their quality and preciousness, all of which came from the palace.

Who on earth has the guts to sell royal treasures privately!

After the auction ended, Chu Yuheng pulled Yu Wangfei out of the ghost market in a hurry.

Yu Wangfei always felt uncomfortable wearing the bracelet on her hand, but the bracelet was key evidence and she couldn't return it to the imperial concubine. She had to hide it around her waist, thinking of returning it to the imperial concubine after the real murderer was caught.

It was still bright when they entered and exited the ghost market, but now it is dark. Calculating the time, it should be the hour of Xu.

As soon as the two of them walked outside the mansion, they saw Feng Zhao standing outside the mansion in women's clothing, looking anxious, as if he had something to hide.

Seeing Yu Wangfei return, Feng Zhao immediately stepped forward and said, "Why did you come back just now? Today is the birthday banquet of the Imperial Concubine. I have been waiting for you here for a long time. I am afraid the banquet has already started in the palace."

Only then did Yu Wangfei remember what happened tonight. She actually forgot that today was the imperial concubine's birthday banquet, and someone from the palace had come to invite her a few days ago.

It was all because she had been too busy these days that she forgot about it.

"I'll go change my clothes and we'll go into the palace immediately." Yu Wangfei looked at Chu Yuheng anxiously, asking him to save her.

"Change inside the carriage." Feng Zhao pulled Yu Wangfei to the side of the carriage and motioned her to get in quickly.

Chu Yuheng nodded and comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, the imperial concubine is with us."

After all, the imperial concubine still has to rely on Yu Wangfei and Chu Yuheng to win the throne for Chu Fei, so it is impossible for her to be cold to Yu Wangfei, let alone deliberately target her. Chu Yuheng is very clear about this.

Even if Yu Wangfei didn't go to the birthday banquet today, the imperial concubine wouldn't say much. After all, the Yueying soldiers behind Yu Wangfei were the basis for Chu Fei to seize the throne.

It would be safer for Yu Wangfei to enter the palace now, not to mention that he believed in Feng Zhao's skills.

Just now, when they left the Ghost Market, he suddenly realized that the coin-minting workshop might not be in the deep mountains and forests, but might be in the Treasure Pavilion.

So he planned to go back and investigate further, but there were many crises in the Treasure Pavilion. He was worried that he had no excuse to send Yu Wangfei away, and Feng Zhao came.

This is a good opportunity.

In the palace.

The imperial concubine waited and waited but did not see Yu Wangfei and Feng Zhao. However, the guests were already there, so she could only start the banquet first.

Lu Xiaoting did not forget to sarcastically say: "The Seventh Prince has only been married for three days, why is the Seventh Prince's wife nowhere to be seen on his mother's birthday?"

On purpose, she obviously said this on purpose.

The noble ladies from aristocratic families looked at each other in bewilderment, and some of them had different opinions about this girl from the Sun family.

Everyone says that people in Lu attach great importance to etiquette, but this girl from the Sun family seems to be completely different.

"That's right. I haven't seen the Seventh Prince's wife yet. I heard that she values ​​etiquette the most. But on the concubine's birthday, the daughter-in-law didn't show up. Is this etiquette?"

When the imperial concubine heard people say bad things about her daughter-in-law, she didn't tolerate it. She stared at everyone angrily and said, "I don't care, so why do you care? Do you all want to be the prince's consort and my daughter-in-law?"

The imperial concubine was relieved that there was no sign of trouble. After all, who could accept that her daughter-in-law was a man?

Three days ago, Chu Fei brought Feng Zhao into the palace to offer tea. She always felt that the girl from the Sun family looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere. Finally, Feng Zhao directly acknowledged his identity.

At that moment, the imperial concubine wished she were blind and deaf.

But that was what Chu Fei wanted, and Lu could also give him help. The crime of deceiving the emperor was still a capital crime, so the imperial concubine tried hard to convince herself not to care and just treat Feng Zhao as a woman.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. That's not what we meant." Lu Xiaoting explained, "I just think it's impolite not to show up at my mother-in-law's birthday party after only three days of marriage."

"Who said I wasn't here?" Feng Zhao appeared in time.

There was an oppressive aura about him that made everyone stay away from him, and the ladies present immediately shut up.

"I went to prepare a birthday gift for my mother." Feng Zhao handed over his gift and looked at Yu Wangfei who was standing beside him. "This is the picture of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren that the princess and I embroidered for my mother."

When the imperial concubine saw the embroidery, an unusual emotion welled up on her face. She felt that it was a bit ironic that a man gave her hundreds of children and grandchildren.

Yu Wangfei knew Feng Zhao’s identity and smiled slightly awkwardly.
