Yun Shang pouted and nodded, "Well, even Yu Ruyi has tasks, and she can help you do things. She goes out and runs around every day to get information."

"But I can't do anything. I can only listen to the servants report Lin Zhiyi's various antics every day. It's so boring. I also want to do something to help you."

Zhao Qiyan smiled and pinched her chubby cheeks with his big hands, "Since the princess wants to go out and play, then I will take you out to play."

"It's just right. Let others think that I am blinded by lust, so that King Cheng can let down his guard. Then we can get more evidence against him."

Yun Shang nodded and hurriedly got out of bed to let Qing Huan help her with her makeup. "Yes, for the sake of the prince's great cause, I am willing to be a demon concubine."

When Zhao Qiyan and Yun Shang appeared together in the bustling pedestrian street to arrest someone, the people around them looked at them in surprise.

This included not only Doctor Liang and his group, but also everyone in the Xingchen Pavilion who couldn't help but look astonished.

Afterwards, unexpectedly, Zhao Qiyan took Yun Shang directly to the mysterious Time Traveler Management Office.

In the interrogation room, Zhao Qiyan sat in the main seat, looking at the detained person with a stern expression, while Yun Shang sat quietly on the side, her beautiful eyes moving around, carefully observing every detail.

This news spread throughout the capital city as fast as it could.

Inside Prince Cheng's mansion, Qin Yao's eyebrows furrowed as she heard this, her face filled with suspicion. "The Prince of Qi actually brought her with him when he arrested and interrogated people. Could it be that the Princess of Qi is truly so favored?"

Upon hearing this, King Cheng let out a cold sneer and said disdainfully, "My brother has always been ruthless and impeccable, his actions flawless and difficult for others to find. I never thought that after marrying this time, he would actually have such a weak spot."

Qin Yao nodded slightly in agreement, and continued, "However, the more he dotes on Princess Qi, the more profitable it will be for us." After saying that, the two smiled at each other, with a hint of cunning in their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, King Cheng and Qin Yao secretly summoned Mr. Jiu and other trusted advisers, closed the door, and began to plot a countermeasure.

However, at this time, Yun Shang, who was in the center of the vortex, was completely unaware of this.

She still wholeheartedly assisted Zhao Qiyan in identifying those so-called compatriots. Doctor Liang, a compatriot of Yunchang, was arrested and released soon after being found innocent after investigation and verification.

Just as Doctor Liang was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on Yun Shang, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yun Shang was so smart that she understood his meaning immediately. She raised her hand slightly and gestured to the guards beside her. Immediately, two guards came forward and respectfully led Liang Wenxin to a side hall in the government office to wait.

Although this side hall is located in a relatively remote area, the environment is quiet and elegant.

After Liang Wenxin was brought in, he found that although the layout was simple, it was still stylish. He was not from the Xingchen Pavilion, so the treatment he received was quite good.

The interrogating officer simply asked him a few questions, and after confirming that everything was fine, he stopped pestering him and told him to wait in peace. Furthermore, a servant soon brought him some exquisite refreshments.

Time passed by minute by minute. Liang Wenxin sat in a chair, slowly sipping the fragrant tea. Before he knew it, the cup of tea was already empty.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door.

Liang Wenxin looked over and saw Yun Shang, dressed in a light blue dress, gracefully approaching, accompanied by her maid Qing Huan. Appearing with them was Prince Qi Zhao Qiyan.

Liang Wenxin was startled when he saw Zhao Qiyan. He quickly stood up and respectfully bowed to the two of them, saying, "I greet the King of Qi and the Princess of Qi."

Zhao Qiyan didn't look away, and without stopping, he walked straight past Liang Wenxin. At the same time, he said lightly, "Well, get up."

Hearing this, Liang Wenxin quickly stood up straight and stood in the hall with his head lowered.

After Zhao Qiyan and Yun Shang had taken their seats, he spoke cautiously, "I have taken the liberty of asking to see the princess this time, simply because I wanted to have a word with her in private. I didn't expect to alarm His Majesty. I am truly terrified!"

Zhao Qiyan tapped his fingertips on the back of the chair, his expression unclear. "Oh? What do you want to say to my princess? Why can't I listen?"

Liang Wenxin lowered his head quickly. "No, it's just that it concerns the princess, and His Majesty is busy with important matters. I can't interrupt you. Since His Majesty wants to hear it, I will tell you."

Yun Shang sat up straight, smiled slightly, and asked, "Doctor Liang, what important matter do you want to tell me?"

Liang Wenxin looked up at her before slowly speaking, "Have you, Princess, received an invitation to the palace banquet?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, I will be attending a palace banquet the day after tomorrow. They say that the Yue Fei Palace has the latest greenhouse melons and peonies that bloom in winter. They are very rare. I invite all the ladies to come to the banquet to taste them."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the palace banquet?"

Liang Wenxin nodded, "Yes, Princess, you should think of a way. It's best not to attend."

"If you must go, please stay away from Yue Fei. She is less than three months pregnant and the fetus is unstable."

Liang Wenxin's words were obscure, but those present were all smart people, especially Zhao Qiyan, who was very familiar with this kind of palace struggle.

Hearing this, he immediately frowned, his expression icy, "Concubine Yue wants to use this pregnancy to target the princess. How did you know this?"

Liang Wenxin sighed, "I was the one who diagnosed Yue Fei's pregnancy. She is Qin Yao's woman. This pregnancy was meant to harm people. I am just guessing."

"I didn't say it before because King Cheng was so powerful that I didn't dare to say it."

"I'm speaking out today because from now on, all time travelers will be under the management of King Qi. News can't get out of this government office, so I dare to speak out."

After Liang Wenxin finished speaking, he bowed slightly and asked to leave.

At this time, only Yun Shang and Zhao Qiyan were left in the spacious and bright side hall.

They sat opposite each other, their faces solemnly discussing the upcoming Hongmen Banquet in low voices. After careful consideration, despite knowing the difficulties ahead, the two men finally made up their minds that they must go to this banquet.

Time flies, and two or three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

It was still early in the morning and the morning light shone into the house through the window lattice.

Yun Shang had already been sitting in front of the dressing table, her beautiful face looking even more charming in the reflection of the bronze mirror.

She was wearing a simple and elegant long dress, the hem of which flowed like clouds.
