The empress had seen the emperor's dirty thoughts at the palace banquet, but she had no way to deal with the emperor threatening her with his own son. Now she could only hope that the little girl was lucky and could protect herself before the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion arrived.

The prince had already had people paying attention to the emperor's movements. The secret source reported that Bai Youyou had been taken away by the emperor's men. The prince couldn't help but smile.

The third prince also learned the news and prepared to get up and go out.

He was about to go to the Queen, but the Crown Prince deliberately blocked his way and said, "Third brother, today is the New Year's Day, and I haven't had a good drink with you yet."

"Big brother, I have something else to do. If you want to drink, I will host you another day and we will get drunk together."

We are not so close to each other on normal days, and now he wants to drink and chat with him just to hold me back.

The Third Prince pretended to be anxious. Seeing him like this, the Crown Prince raised his hand and grabbed his arm. "There is no official business to attend to today. Come on, let's have a drink together, brothers."

The third prince was forcibly dragged to his seat by him, and the man took the wine glass on the table and stuffed it into his hand, and chatted with him about meaningless daily life.

As the prince spoke, his eyes were always on the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo.

But after a moment, someone said something to her, and her and the seven boys of the Lu family's faces changed drastically. They stood up from their chairs and rushed towards the door.

"Brother, I have something urgent to do today. I will drink with you another day."

The third prince finished drinking the water in the glass in his hand, slammed the glass on the table, and quickly stood up and ran after the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The prince sat on the chair, twirling the wine glass in his hand with his slender fingers, the right corner of his lips raised, looking at the back of the third prince with a look of anticipation for a good show in his eyes.

Bai Youyou has been taken away by her father. During the time she spent back and forth, Bai Youyou must have been murdered.

It's such a pity for such a talented and bright woman to be devoted to an old man.

If anyone is to be blamed, it is the people in the Zhenguo Mansion who are ignorant of the current situation. If they were under his command, how could what happened today have happened?

The prince stood up slowly and glanced towards the door.

"Where's Bai Yaoyao?"

The Crown Prince's concubine said in a sour tone, "He left earlier, how would I know where he is now?"

The prince frowned.

After the emperor left, Bai Yaoyao told her to go out for some fresh air. Why hasn't he come back yet?

"Zhu San, send someone to look for him."

"Yes."

Zhu San took the order and sent a few eunuchs around him to look for Bai Yaoyao.

The prince wanted to make a big deal out of it, so he deliberately said to the princes and ministers, "Everyone, the moonlight is beautiful tonight, why don't you come with me to enjoy this rare beautiful scene."

"Come on, let's go for a walk with the prince."

"Just right, I'm drunk, let me go out and get some fresh air to sober myself up."

A group of people followed the prince's steps towards the side hall where the emperor was resting, talking and laughing all the way.

In the side hall, Chen Zongguan took out a black pill and handed it to him, "You haven't been to the harem for a long time. The average middle-aged people are not as good as you. How can you use this medicine?"

"Your words are very pleasing to me."

The emperor, wearing a silk undergarment, glanced at him with a smile in his eyes, "But you don't understand how to be a man."

The emperor took the pill from Chen Zongbuter's hand and put it in his mouth, then picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of water.

"Gudong!"

His Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed the pill along with some water.

Manager Chen smiled and said, "I am a rootless person, so naturally I don't understand men's affairs."

"Okay, you go down."

The pill took effect immediately. The emperor could feel a warm current surging in his lower abdomen. He stood up and walked towards the inner room.

The candlelight in the room was dim, and the emperor lifted the bed curtain and got on the couch.

In the closet nearby, Lu Huaizhen and Bai Youyou huddled together in the closet. They were so close that they could smell each other's breath.

"Hmm~"

When the discordant voice sounded, Lu Huaizhen quickly reached out to cover her ears, and his face turned red in an instant.

Fortunately, the wardrobe was pitch black and Bai Youyou couldn’t see it.

Outside the side hall, the old lady stared at the queen with a gloomy look, "Queen, may I ask where my granddaughter is now?"

The queen clutched her handkerchief with a guilty look on her face, "Madam, I was also coerced by the emperor into doing this..."

The old lady snorted coldly, "Queen, don't think I don't know. If you really want to protect my granddaughter, how could you give in so easily?"

The queen was speechless for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.

She certainly hadn't thought of disobeying the emperor because of Bai Youyou, but anyone in her position would do the same.

"Old Madam, when Youyou was taken away, I sent someone to tell you the news. This was not what I wanted, but it was indeed my fault."

The queen apologized to the old lady, "The emperor is resting in Chenyue Palace. The person should have been taken there."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen and the old lady were about to go to Chenyue Palace when the third prince came hurriedly.

"Mother, old lady."

The Queen held the Third Prince's arm with an anxious look on her face, "My son, Fourth Miss Bai has been taken away by your father's men. You must quickly think of a way to rescue Fourth Miss Bai from your father!"

The Third Prince patted her hands and looked at the old lady and Lu Chen, who both had livid faces. "Don't worry, old lady. Today's incident was conspired by the Crown Prince and Father. But don't worry, the Fourth Miss already knew about it and asked me to take advantage of her."

He took out the note and handed it to the old lady, "This is from the fourth young lady to me. You will know after you take a look at it."

The old lady took the note from his hand, and after reading what was written on it, her usually kind face turned as gloomy as ice!

"What a great prince, what a great Bai Yaoyao!"

"I have already made arrangements for this matter in advance, so you don't have to worry."

As soon as the Third Prince finished speaking, Zhao Zhong ran in in a panic, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

The Third Prince's heart sank, "But something happened to Fourth Miss Bai?"

Zhao Zhong panted, "I sent Bai Yaoyao to the bedroom, but I didn't see the Fourth Miss Bai."

The Queen and the Third Prince exclaimed at the same time, "Didn't you see anyone?!"

The old lady's heart trembled, and her voice couldn't help but tremble, "Then where did I go, Youyou?"

Lu Chen supported her body and comforted her, "Grandma, it's a good thing that no one has found her. Youyou has Lu Qi by her side, and she's also smart, so maybe she's hiding somewhere."

"Yes, yes, it's a good thing that we didn't find the person." The queen also persuaded.

The Third Prince quickly ordered Zhao Zhong, "Hurry up and have someone search for him secretly. Don't alarm the man in the side hall."

At this time, outside Chenyue Palace, the prince looked at the closed door and the ambiguous sounds faintly coming from inside the room, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
