Everyone in the palace was dismissed. The prince walked over to Bai Yaoyao, put his arm around her thin shoulders, his sparkling eyes full of pity.

"Yaoyao, it was because I didn't think carefully that you were framed."

He raised his hand and wiped away the tears falling from Bai Yaoyao's eyes with his fingertips, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will keep my promise to you. When it is done, I will arrange a new identity for you, and the most noble thing in the world will only be yours."

Bai Yaoyao's tears fell down her cheeks. She bit her lips and said, "But I am now a fallen woman, how can I be worthy of His Highness?"

"This is not your fault."

The prince held her face in his hands and gently kissed her forehead, "In my heart, Yaoyao will always be the pure and flawless Peach Blossom Fairy."

Bai Yaoyao blinked her watery black eyes, shyly hugged the prince's waist, and rested her head on his chest.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Prince."

The prince's chin was hit on her dark head. Bai Yaoyao could not see the undisguised disgust on the prince's face at this moment.

"By the way, Your Highness, Bai Youyou and a masked man hid in the closet of Chenyue Palace yesterday. She didn't leave at all!"

"Hide in the closet!"

The prince's face changed.

If Bai Youyou had been hiding in the closet the whole time, then wouldn't she have heard everything they said yesterday?

"You take a good rest, I will go and investigate this matter thoroughly."

Only after pacifying Bai Yaoyao did the prince return to his own Eastern Palace.

Marquis Yong'an and Taifu Qin were standing in the study. When they saw him, they immediately bowed to him.

"Master, send someone to investigate what happened last night and see where the mistake was made."

The prince wanted to know whether the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was so great that it had connections everywhere, or whether someone leaked the matter and made Bai Youyou on guard, allowing her to take advantage of the situation and frame Bai Yaoyao.

"Yes."

Qin Taifu responded softly.

Yong'an Hou was a little curious, "What happened last night?"

He did not attend the palace banquet yesterday because of his wife's quarrel, and he knew nothing about what happened last night.

"I don't know which step went wrong, and Bai Youyou knew our plan." The prince frowned, "I followed the plan and took the court officials to Chenyue Palace, but I didn't expect that the person sleeping on the couch was not Bai Youyou, but Bai Yaoyao."

"How could this be?"

Marquis Yong'an was a little puzzled.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion took refuge with the Third Prince. They let the Emperor threaten the Queen, used the Queen's name to summon Bai Youyou, and then used the Queen's name to drug Bai Youyou.

Even if the Queen sent someone to inform the Third Prince about this matter, it would be of no avail.

How could such a meticulous plan be seen through and taken advantage of?

"Father thinks that the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is too great, and they have spies in the palace. Bai Yaoyao said that someone leaked the secret."

Qin Taifu guessed, "The palace is heavily guarded, and only a few people from the Zhenguo Mansion entered the palace. It is not easy to replace someone from the emperor's bedroom. I am afraid that the third prince is helping with this."

The prince gnashed his teeth and said, "Bai Youyou didn't leave at all. She's hiding in the closet of Chenyue Palace."

Qin Taifu: "......"

This is awkward.

I'm afraid that the girl heard everything the prince and the emperor said.

Yong'an Hou's eyes bulged, "That damn girl is a cat, very cunning!"

"Alright, alright, all of you go down."

The prince was very upset because he lost the rice instead of the chicken.

As soon as Yong'an Hou left the East Palace, his housekeeper came over in a hurry, "My Lord, it's bad, my wife has gone to the Zhenguo Mansion!"

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?!"

Marquis Yong'an was horrified and quickly asked the driver to speed up to get to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

He didn't go into the palace yesterday because his wife was unable to escape from the incident involving her only son Jiang Hui.

Now that the woman knows Hui'er is dead, she has gone mad. If she really reveals the real and fake Jiang Hui, she will be in big trouble!

"Madam has asked someone to go to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to invite the guards. I really can't stop them."

The housekeeper knew the seriousness of the situation, otherwise he wouldn't have been so anxious to go to the palace to look for someone in person.

"Faster!"

Marquis Yong'an looked anxious. Seeing the carriage swaying slowly, he shouted angrily at the coachman.

"My Lord, there are too many people on the street..."

Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. There are many people out walking on the streets and there are also many horse-drawn carriages coming and going.

Marquis Yong'an pushed open the curtain and looked at the crowded crowd on the street. He suddenly became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Go, go, go, leave these untouchables alone!"

He gave the order, and the driver took the whip and hit the horse's butt hard.

The horse neighed and immediately broke into a gallop.

“Ah! Get out of the way!!”

“Get out of the way!!!”

In an instant, pedestrians on the busy street were scattered, vendors' boxes and baskets fell to the ground, and roadside stalls were knocked over.

At this time, at the gate of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Princess Suhua had disheveled hair and a crazy look on her face.

"Where's Bai Youyou? Hand over that little bitch Bai Youyou to me!"

"Madam Yong'an, what are you doing?"

Sun brought people to block the gate of the mansion, looked at Princess Suhua whose face was full of murderous hatred, and asked coldly.

"What?"

Princess Suhua stared at Sun with hatred, "Hand over that little bitch. She killed my son, so she must pay with my son's life!"

That's what happened.

Sun stood on the steps, looking down at her with contempt, "Madam Yong'an is so confused. Your son Jiang Hui was imprisoned in the palace by His Majesty. How did my Youyou kill him? When did you kill him? And where did you kill him?"

Sun was obviously trying to trick Princess Su Hua into saying something, but Princess Su Hua was so angry that she blurted out, "Last July, in Yucheng, Bai Youyou killed my son in Yucheng!"

"Yucheng?" Sun sneered, "Madam Yong'an, His Majesty issued an order to imprison your son Jiang Hui as early as July. Why did he go to Yucheng?"

"Yes--"

Before Princess Suhua could finish her words, she was stopped by Marquis Yong'an who rushed over and shouted at her.

"Suhua!"

"Jiang Yongcheng, if you don't avenge your son, I will do it myself!"

"shut up!"

Marquis Yong'an didn't know what the bitch had said before, so he stepped forward and slapped her in the face.

"Snapped!"

His slap was merciless, and Princess Suhua fell to the ground, with half of her face instantly red and swollen.

"Crazy woman! Hui'er is staying at home peacefully, why are you running to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to make trouble?"

Yong'an Marquis summoned the housekeeper, "Quickly take the man back to the mansion and ask the doctor to come and see him!"

"I won't leave. I want to avenge my son!"

The housekeeper was afraid that she would say something shocking, so he ignored the rules and covered her mouth with his hand.

The guards of Prince Yan's Mansion stepped forward to stop the housekeeper. Marquis Yong'an looked at them and said, "Your princess has had a nightmare recently and is not conscious. I will explain this matter to my father-in-law in person."
