Yu Tingwan's face was calm and she stayed out of the incident. When she saw the princess rushing over, she smiled at her.

"Didn't the imperial concubine return to Yilan Palace?" The princess was stunned.

Concubine Xian said displeasedly: "Princess, you still care about what the concubine is doing at this time, why don't you go in and take a look?"

The Crown Princess said yes, and when she listened carefully, her face suddenly turned pale.

The woman's voice sounded like Cui Rouyi, which was what she expected, but the man's voice didn't sound like Pei Zhi, but rather like a prince.

Seeing the Crown Princess's appearance, Concubine Xian frowned and told the female officer beside her: "The Crown Princess is young after all. I don't know how to deal with it. You and the Crown Princess go in together."

The Crown Princess came back to her senses and walked deeper into the plum forest. At a glance, she saw the Crown Prince's fox fur cloak spread on the ground. The girl's delicate body was covered, and she kept struggling and yelling.

"What are you doing!" The princess couldn't help but yelled angrily.

"Cousin, save me, save me..." Cui Rouyi cried and called her when she saw the princess coming.

It's a pity that the prince was hit by the medicine and his whole body was hot. He couldn't control anything and still kept asking for it.

The princess ordered someone to pull the prince away, and found that something was obviously wrong with him. She looked at Cui Rouyi's lower body and looked in a mess. There was nothing she didn't understand.

She was so angry that her face turned blue. She ignored the fact that the female official of the Concubine Xian was still beside her and asked, "Cui Rouyi, did you drug the prince?"

Cui Rouyi had tears in her eyes, trembling with fear when she remembered the scene just now.

She bribed the most favored beauty in Nanlou, and originally planned to lure both Yu Tingwan and the prince to Nanlou.

When the prince's medicine takes effect, he will definitely pull the imperial concubine to relieve himself.

After Yu Tingwan left, the people she sent had not returned yet. Cui Rouyi thought it was done, so she went to the Plum Grove to have a look, while sending Yulan to stay in the palace, trying to find a way to lure others to the Plum Grove to enjoy the scenery.

As soon as she arrived at the South Tower, she was dragged into the depths of the plum forest by the prince. At that time, the prince still had a shred of sense and saw that she was the Miss Cui family. He remembered that she usually had her eyes higher than her head and her actions were extremely rough.

"Crown Princess, the most important thing right now is to call the imperial doctor." The female officer next to Concubine Xian reminded her. The medicine the Crown Prince was given was obviously very strong and it has not slowed down yet.

The Crown Princess held onto the plum tree next to her, her eyes darkening, "Send the Crown Prince into the south building, let the guests leave first, and then send someone to deliver a message to the Cui family."

Yu Tingwan and others waited outside for a while, and then saw Ashu coming out and saying that the banquet was over for today and everyone should disperse.

Something like this happened in the East Palace. The prince and Cui Rouyi haven't appeared yet, and everyone knows who is inside.

When Yu Tingwan was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

It was Pei Zhi who came at some point and stood behind her. Now he lowered his voice and murmured: "My Lady, if it weren't for the bright moon, you would be the one in the Merlin now."

"How does the noble concubine plan to repay me?" Pei Zhi's tone rose slightly, with a smile.

Yu Tingwan froze, turned around and realized that she was too close to Pei Zhi. She took a half step back and saw that everyone else had left. She thought for a moment and said, "How do you want me to repay you, Your Highness?"

Pei Zhiyuan was just joking, but seeing that she really took it to heart, he couldn't help but find it interesting.

"In the future, your concubine, please don't treat me like a savage beast. This is how you repay me."

Yu Tingwan felt guilty. Was it so obvious?

She was ready to make amends for herself, "His Highness is a great person among men, elegant and graceful. I just respect His Highness from the bottom of my heart."

Telling lies with his eyes open, Pei Zhi said with a smile: "Really? The noble concubine said before that it is different from the way of ministers."

Yu Tingwan choked up, Pei Zhi and Pei Xu were both heroes of the world, with great merits, but their way was the way of emperors, destined to be ruthless and unjust, and they were different from others.

"The King of Wei is like a mountain, and my body is like catkins. They are different." Yu Tingwan explained: "What I said that day did not mean to accuse His Highness, but just stated an ordinary fact."

They are destined to be two kinds of people, very different from each other.

Pei Zhi's eyes changed slightly, as if he was thinking about this sentence, but he didn't realize that his eyes had softened a lot.

"You can choose not to be catkins."

He didn't finish his words.

Yu Tingwan could choose not to be a catkin, but to completely cling to Pei Zhi like those powerful people in Chang'an and grow into a seemingly respectable tree on the mountain.

"Your Highness, if I were a man, I might choose to serve you." Yu Tingwan said with some confusion, "But now I have nothing but this little energy, so why should I rely on you?"

She directly refused to commit to Yuan Ziyu last time. In his eyes, she should be an abandonment. How could he spread kindness to useless people for no reason.

Pei Zhi looked into Yu Tingwan's eyes. She had drunk some wine today, and the ends of her eyes were red. When she was thinking about talking to him, her eyes moved slightly, and there was a hint of emotion in her eyes.

"The imperial concubine has her own merits." Pei Zhi glanced at the bright moon, "If it is useless, why don't I take the bright moon back?"

"She has been with me for a long time. Even if she goes back, you will never use her again."

What Yu Tingwan said was true. There was no reason for the secret guards sent out to come back.

Pei Zhi was stopped by her words and was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"My Majesty, don't belittle yourself." Pei Zhi and Yu Tingwan were walking while they were talking and saw Chen Du waiting by the carriage. "Everything in the world is unpredictable. Maybe one day, I will ask your Majesty for help."

Pei Zhi walked to the carriage, nodded and said, "Please accept my kindness for the time being. As for the reward, let me think about it later."

Chen Du waited for a long time. Hearing these words, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Yu Tingwan and then at Pei Zhi.

After Yu Tingwan left in the sedan chair, Chen Du couldn't wait to ask, "My lord, what did you say to the noble concubine?"

The smile on Pei Zhi's face melted, "Aren't you going to visit Chen Zhaoyi?"

"I heard that the third prince is in Zengcheng Palace, and I plan to visit my aunt in a few days." Chen Du laughed and pointed at his head, "My lord, you know that my cousin, there is something wrong here."

The third prince, Zhao Heng, loved to organize funerals for himself, and always kept a coffin in the palace. Chen Du had attended Zhao Heng's funerals five times, and seeing him now gave him a headache.

This time, Chen Du no longer served as a coachman. When riding with Pei Zhi, he chatted endlessly, talking nonsense all over the world, and not a word about political affairs.

"My lord, when your great cause is accomplished, I will find a beauty and retire to the mountains and forests, preferably someone as stunningly beautiful as the imperial concubine. Then I will have no regrets in this life."

Pei Zhi glanced at him and said calmly: "This kind of life is indeed free and easy."

Chen Du thought about his expression, but couldn't tell whether King Wei cared about the imperial concubine or not, and sighed inwardly.

Pei Zhi's expression remained as usual until he approached Prince Wei's palace and suddenly said, "The Marquis of Linzi asked you to find out about Gu's preferences. What benefits will it bring to you once the matter is completed?"
