The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

"Chen Du, don't make any assumptions." Pei Zhi looked at him condescendingly, his face suddenly as cold as ice.

"I don't dare." Chen Du quickly lowered his head.

The prince had been waiting in the Zichen Palace early in the morning. When he saw Pei Zhi coming, he couldn't help but ask, "Where is the noble concubine?"

"I am discussing political affairs with His Majesty. Is it inappropriate for the concubine to stay aside? I have sent her back to Yilan Palace."

Pei Zhi's tone was businesslike, but the prince's expression became subtle.

"Forget it, King Wei, I wonder what we are going to discuss today?" The prince glanced at the emperor on the couch, "Your Majesty is not awake yet."

"A few noble clans in Shu are revolting, and King Liang has no time to take care of himself. I have come to ask your Majesty to issue an order and take the opportunity to attack the rebels." Pei Zhi glanced at the sleeping emperor and ordered the doctor Que to be called.

After Que Wen came, he got a few injections. As soon as the emperor woke up, he heard the prince telling him what had just happened, and he was so angry that he made a "ho ho" sound in his throat.

What qualifications does the King of Wei have to talk about rebellion? The emperor does not want to issue an edict, but with the control of King Liang, Pei Zhi is somewhat wary and will not usurp the throne for the time being.

"It seems that His Majesty is unwilling." Pei Zhi said with some regret, "As a minister, I should share the worries of the king and unify the country. Now it seems that this wish cannot be realized."

Chen Du remained silent at the side, and the emperor did not notice him, thinking that he was Pei Zhi's attendant.

"I sincerely request your Majesty to issue an edict." Chen Du finally raised his head and looked directly at the emperor.

"You!" The emperor pointed at him and was so angry that he couldn't speak. Chen Du's brother commanded the Yulin Guards. His entry into the palace was not meant to persuade, but was clearly a threat.

The emperor coughed a few times and said, "Do you people have any semblance of a human being?"

"Your Majesty, I and the late king have worked hard and long for the great Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty's words really chill my heart."

The emperor's face turned pale, "That's all, get the pen and ink seal."

Chen Du took out the decree he had already prepared and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, all you need to do is stamp it."

Half an hour later, Pei Zhi took the edict and left. The prince returned to the East Palace tremblingly, and met Cui Rouyi on the way.

Cui Rouyi saw that the prince liked Yu Tingwan, so she had a bad impression of him and said coldly: "I have met your highness."

The prince's heart was filled with anger. It was just that the King of Wei looked down on him, but Cui Rouyi was so disrespectful to a little girl.

He thought of Pei Zhi's attitude towards the imperial concubine and said mockingly: "What if we wait until King Wei, he will not marry anyone just because he looks at someone a few times."

Cui Rouyi looked at the prince's leaving back, her face turned red with anger, thinking about what happened at today's banquet, she went back to the East Palace and inquired about it, and heard that the prince's recent favorite beauty lived in the south building.

She went to take a few glances, and sure enough, there was a shadow of the imperial concubine in every one of them. She sneered, "So that's it. The princess didn't do anything herself, but she instigated me to help her."

The maid Cui Rouyi brought from home said softly: "Girl, let's go back to Cui Mansion."

"Yulan, what's the matter with you? Didn't we meet King Wei today?"

Yulan was a little flustered, always feeling that something might happen if she stayed in the East Palace, and advised: "That's because of today's banquet, and the King of Wei has never been to the East Palace before."

"Isn't it the prince's birthday in a few days? King Wei always wants to send some gifts to show off."

When the princess heard Cui Rouyi mentioning the prince's birthday banquet, her expression twisted for a moment. She was so angry with the prince that she still wanted to prepare a birthday banquet for him?

"You haven't left the cabinet yet, as long as you don't put your mind on King Wei, you will naturally have a good marriage." The Crown Princess said in a deep tone.

"Mother, you are not feeling well, so you don't have to worry about it yourself. You can just leave it to me."

Cui Rouyi didn't care about the Crown Princess's face at all, and took out a box, which contained a pair of white jade bracelets. "This is a gift for the Queen."

The Crown Princess picked up the bracelet, looked at its quality, and finally smiled, "Who do you want to invite?"

"There are concubines in the harem and some important officials in the court."

"Since it's a small business and we don't bother Zong Zheng, there's no need to invite foreign ministers. It's enough to have fun behind closed doors at home."

"Just a few courtiers are invited." Cui Rouyi twisted her handkerchief, "Chen Du and Chen Zhaoyi are related, and the King of Wei is the cousin of the prince, so he can be considered a member of his family."

The Crown Princess nodded outwardly, but was sarcastic inwardly. It was too bold to attack Pei Zhi through his birthday party.

However, she had full authority to leave the matter to Cui Rouyi. She was bedridden, and she could not blame herself for any affair.

Cui Rouyi was overjoyed when she saw that the Crown Princess agreed. After going out, Yulan asked quietly: "Girl, you don't want to use that medicine on King Wei, do you?"

"How is that possible?" Cui Rouyi didn't even dare to drug Pei Zhi, "I just gave the Crown Princess a big gift, and by the way, I invited King Wei to watch a show."

Yulan felt extremely regretful. Cui Rouyi's second brother was a romantic man, and the house always had drugs to enhance his pleasure.

Before entering the palace, Cui Rouyi had instructed Yulan to steal some.

Cui Rouyi was busy in the East Palace. Even the prince knew what she was thinking and smiled in his heart. She lent him a banquet to please Pei Zhi. It was a blessing for these noble ladies to do it.

On the day of the birthday party, Yu Tingwan came early, and only Qiu Tao was with him.

Cui Rouyi dug out her own pocket for this banquet, and the wine she used was also Xinfeng wine.

After three rounds of drinking, a beauty from the South Tower sent a maid to send a message, saying that she missed His Highness. The Prince used the excuse of changing his clothes and planned to go back to the South Tower.

It's not that far away, it won't take long.

Yu Tingwan came out early and planned to go back to Yilan Hall. When he walked outside the hall, he stopped and waited for a while.

The bright moon appeared out of nowhere and said, "Madam, as expected, someone is following secretly. I have already dealt with it."

Jiao Yue stretched out her hand and took out a bag of medicinal powder. She didn't know how to explain it for a moment: "Madam, this is an aphrodisiac. Brothels like to use it. It can be brewed into wine or poured directly into the mouth and nose."

Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows. Cui Rouyi was too interested in her. Whether it was the wine in her hand or the food on the table, she was drugged. She even sent someone to wait for the attack.

She originally didn't plan to go to the South Tower to watch the excitement, but suddenly she changed her mind and happened to see Pei Zhi and Chen Du standing on the corridor, not knowing what to say.

After Chen Du saw her, he ran over and said, "My dear concubine, after the banquet is over later, I will go to the harem to visit my aunt. Can your concubine go with me?"

Pei Zhi stood in the corridor and glanced at her from afar, showing no intention of greeting her.

"Your Majesty?" Chen Du followed Yu Tingwan's gaze and paused for a moment after seeing Pei Zhi. "Is there anything you want to say to King Wei?"

"No." Yu Tingwan shook his head, "I heard that the red plum blossoms in front of the south tower have not withered yet, so I wanted to go and have a look."

"I also want to take a look." Chen Du was very interested. He likes to paint red plums. Today, he can see the beauty and appreciate the plums. It is a joy in life.

The plum grove in front of the south building of the East Palace was a sight to behold. When Yu Ting arrived late, many people were already here, but they all looked a little embarrassed.

Chen Du listened carefully and heard the man's gasping and the woman's begging for mercy, and couldn't help but blush.

After all, this happened in the East Palace, and Concubine Xian had already sent someone to invite the Crown Princess to come over.
