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

"Take out the white skirt in the closet. I'll wear that one." Yu Wangfei put the clothes aside and sighed reluctantly.

The dress Chu Yuheng gave her was indeed extremely gorgeous, but her current identity was only the wife of the Crown Prince of Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion. If she wore something so dazzling, it would inevitably steal the limelight.

With her status, it would be better for her to dress more simply so that she can disappear in the crowd.

An hour later, Yu Wangfei walked onto the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion with the help of Yunhua. Yu Qiaoqiao had indeed changed into a maid's outfit, but the makeup on her face and the hairpin on her head showed off her status.

When she saw Yu Wangfei get on the carriage, she followed him up.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Wangfei was speechless and returned his gaze to her face. "You are a maid, don't forget that."

"Don't go too far!" Yu Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Yu Wangfei to pieces. "I'm just pretending to be your maid!"

Yu Wangfei raised her hand with interest and touched her hairpin: "I didn't expect you didn't pawn all your jewelry that day."

She would naturally not pawn all her jewelry. Now these hairpins in her hair were her last treasures. She had to find a backer tonight, otherwise all her efforts would be wasted.

"Go out and drive the carriage." Yu Wangfei pointed outside the carriage, "If you pretend to be a maid, you have to pretend well."

"Just wait for me!" Yu Qiaoqiao said angrily, then lifted the car curtain and sat outside.

When Yunhua saw her come out, he consciously gave her his seat.

Soon the carriage drove out of the palace, and Yu Wangfei got off the carriage with the help of Yunhua.

Lord Gu led the way in front, while Gu Baizhou followed behind with a dazed look on his face. Yu Wangfei followed them into the palace gate.

The moment he walked into the palace gate, Chu Yuheng suddenly appeared. He did not greet Lord Gu, but instead turned his attention to Yu Wangfei.

"Greetings, Ninth Prince." Lord Gu immediately stepped forward and saluted when he saw Chu Yuheng.

Because he knew in his heart that the Marquis' Mansion now only had Chu Yuheng as its backer.

"No need to be polite." Chu Yuheng said coldly.

At this time Lord Gu pulled Yu Wangfei over again.

Yu Wangfei had no choice but to bow to Chu Yuheng: "Greetings to the Ninth Prince."

"No need to be so polite." Chu Yuheng reached out and helped Yu Wangfei up, and whispered in her ear, "You don't need to be polite in front of me."

This scene happened to be seen by the eldest prince. He couldn't understand why Chu Yuheng would take the initiative to help a married woman. In his impression, Chu Yuheng was a man who never showed sympathy to women. Why did he become like this now?

"Go check that woman." The eldest prince raised his hand and called the secret guard beside him, asking him to check Yu Wangfei's identity.

The feeling in his heart told him that Chu Yuheng had a close relationship with this woman.

"Come in, the banquet is about to begin." Chu Yuheng put his hands behind his back and looked at Lord Gu.

Lord Gu had seen everything that had just happened. He nodded very tactfully and said, "Then I, this old minister, will take my seat first."

After saying that, he glanced at Gu Baizhou and hurriedly walked inside. Just as Yu Wangfei was about to leave, Chu Yuheng grabbed her by the corner of her clothes.

"Wait for me after the party."

Hearing this, Yu Wangfei looked around in panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was paying attention to them.

"Okay." After saying this, Yu Wangfei took Yunhua and left quickly, fearing that they would be seen by others if they stayed any longer.

Yu Qiaoqiao saw all of this, especially when she saw the affectionate look in Chu Yuheng's eyes, she wanted to expose the relationship between Yu Wangfei and him on the spot.

But reason told her that if she said a word, Chu Yuheng would immediately strangle her neck.

After taking her seat, Yu Qiaoqiao lied that she had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet, and hurriedly left the banquet.

Yu Wangfei just asked Yunhua to follow quietly to see what Yu Qiaoqiao wanted to do.

With the arrival of civil and military officials, the banquet officially began. The emperor took the concubine to the high seat and began to share the delicacies with the ministers.

"In addition to having fun with the people at today's banquet, I also want to announce a piece of good news to all of you, my dear ministers." The emperor raised his glass, "That is my seventh son. Fortunately, the seventh prince was rescued by a miracle doctor and is now in great health."

After the emperor finished speaking, he drank the whole thing in one gulp. The ministers below congratulated him one after another, "Congratulations to the Seventh Prince for recovering his health, and congratulations to Your Majesty for achieving his wish."

In fact, when the emperor heard this morning that the miracle doctor was killed by Chu Yuheng because he refused to enter the palace, he began to be suspicious of Chu Yuheng in his heart.

Before, Chu Yuheng was loyal to him and would never do such a foolish thing, but now he had no evidence to prove that he was unfaithful to him, so he could only pretend that he still trusted him.

"This time, the Ninth Prince should be the first to be credited." The emperor put down his wine glass and looked at Chu Yuheng, "I know that my brother is very tired from years of fighting outside. Why not take this opportunity to return to the capital and have a good rest."

The implication of his words was that he wanted Chu Yuheng to hand over his military command and become a leisurely prince in the capital.

All the civil and military officials present looked at Chu Yuheng at the same time, feeling nervous.

They all knew that the emperor had begun to fear Chu Yuheng. If he refused to hand over his military power, he might not be able to leave the banquet today. But if he handed over his military power, he would inevitably become the emperor's abandoned pawn.

Yu Wangfei understood all of this. She looked at Chu Yuheng worriedly, wondering in her heart whether the matter of Xizhou was leaked by someone with ulterior motives, which caused the emperor to be wary.

Lord Gu was worried for himself. He had put all the pressure on Chu Yuheng for the Gu family. What would he do if anything happened to Chu Yuheng?

"Hahahaha." Chu Yuheng laughed, "Your Majesty, what you said is exactly what I thought. Your Majesty might as well take a look at what gift I gave you."

"Oh?" The emperor frowned slightly, then glanced at the eunuch beside him.

After receiving the order, the eunuch quickly found the brocade box sent by Chu Yuheng and held it in front of the emperor.

After opening the brocade box, the emperor saw the tiger talisman. He did not expect that Chu Yuheng would return the military power so early. Did he misunderstand him?

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty." Chu Yuheng stood up and bowed.

The moment he returned from Xizhou, he knew that he could no longer keep the military power, so he gave the tiger talisman as a gift.

Although the emperor got the tiger talisman, the soldiers of Xizhou recognized him as a person, not the cold tiger talisman. As long as he was still alive, the soldiers would serve him.

The reason for handing over the tiger talisman was just to dispel the emperor's suspicion.

But Yu Wangfei's expression became a little solemn. She felt that tonight's banquet would not be so simple.

Halfway through the drink, the eldest prince took the initiative to bring the wine to Chu Fei and said, "Seventh brother, it has been a long time since we have had a drink together. Before, you were in poor health and couldn't drink. Now you can't run away."
