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

The color on Yu Tingwan's face suddenly faded, "Your Highness has a noble status, how can an orphan girl from a poor family be worthy of your attention?"

Yu Tingwan's tone was humble. The prince was still trembling in front of Pei Zhi, so how could she dare to act like a noble concubine in front of King Wei.

Pei Zhi smiled instead of being angry, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and glanced around the crowd, "You are the imperial concubine. Logically, I should call you empress."

"I'm not a good womanizer, let alone a wife." The smile on Pei Zhi's lips flashed away, and he said calmly: "It's just that Yuan Ziyu is full of praise for you, and I was entrusted by someone to take you out of the palace."

The prince stumbled and said: "King Wei, she is a concubine. How can she leave the palace at will? If outsiders know about it, it will damage the reputation of King Wei."

Concubine Wang Xian sighed deeply in her heart. When she married the emperor, although the great Zhou Dynasty was about to collapse, the royal family still had some dignity. Who would have thought that it would become like this in just a few decades.

The prince is clearly in control, but his momentum is so sluggish. After all, he was trained by Princess Chengyang, so why can't he stand up like this?

Pei Zhi had always looked down on this cousin. Since he entered the palace, he had not lowered his head when facing the prince. Now he was even more disrespectful. He lowered his eyes and looked at Yu Tingwan and stretched out his hand.

Yu Tingwan looked at the hands in front of her, endured the pain in her knees and stood up from the emperor's couch. She said neither humble nor arrogantly: "How can I enter the palace in the morning and the palace in the evening? I can't obey my orders."

Now that the emperor is ill, she can be a noble concubine in peace, and the best outcome is for her to die in the palace.

A trace of surprise flashed in Pei Zhi's eyes. He didn't expect Yu Tingwan to reject him. He was silent for a moment and said, "In that case, I don't want to force myself."

Everyone else in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

"Empress, I want to talk to you alone." Pei Zhi suddenly spoke.

Although the prince didn't want Yu Ting to leave at night, he was afraid of Pei Zhi, so he quickly said: "My dear concubine, please go to the side hall to have a few words with King Wei."

The side hall was silent, the candlelight flickered, and Pei Zhi's voice was gentle, and could not be gentler. However, he had been in a high position for a long time, and his every move had a sense of oppression. Even though he lowered his head and frowned, Yu Tingwan felt that he was a tiger who was lying in sleep, waiting for an opportunity to bite him off. The throat of the enemy.

"I wonder if the noble concubine can see Yuan Ziyu for the sake of the minister. If the noble concubine feels that it is abrupt, she can drop the matter."

When Pei Zhi was the eldest son of the King of Wei, he behaved like a handsome gentleman, and he was still the same now.

But in the last sentence, there was clearly a hint of oppression in his eyes.

Yu Tingwan thought about it for a moment and said, "Your Highness, why should you be so cautious? Of course I am willing to meet my old friend."

Three years ago, Yuan Ziyu passed by her hometown by chance and stayed at Yu's house for more than half a month.

At that time, when she was still young, she had a chat with Yuan Ziyu outside the curtain. Although Yuan Ziyu refuted Yu Tingwan, she praised him for his talent in singing xu.

That year, Yuan Ziyu was only seventeen years old. Before leaving the Yu family, she mentioned more than once that she would be taken into the Yuan family when Yu Tingwan was old enough.

Yuan Ziyu's family background, the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family in Runan, Yu Tingwan's family was in decline, so she could only marry him as a concubine, but the Yu family refused on the spot.

Seeing that she agreed, Pei Zhi nodded and stopped talking, and looked at Yu Tingwan again.

She hasn't changed much since she was a child, except that the baby fat on her cheeks has disappeared.

Pei Zhi never thought that Young Master Yuan, who had always been wild and wanton, would be willing to be restrained for her.

Yuan Ziyu wanted to send someone to the Yu family last year, but Mrs. Yuan was unwilling to do so and called her youngest son a lard-stricken man.

This year, Yuan Ziyu felt as if she were mourning an heir after hearing that the emperor had conferred the title of Royal Concubine on Yu Tingwan.

He and Pei Zhi had known each other since childhood, but they had always been unwilling to join the officialdom. This time, he went to the Palace of the Prince of Wei and stated that as long as the King of Wei was willing to help him, he would be willing to serve the King of Wei. He was also willing to persuade his eldest brother Yuan Qi, who lived in seclusion, to join the officialdom.

Replacing the two sons of the Yuan family with a noble concubine can also be used to exploit Yuan Ziyu's weaknesses, so Pei Zhi has no reason not to agree.

Yu Tingwan could also guess that Pei Zhi came to her because he must have made some kind of deal with Yuan Ziyu.

She sighed softly and suddenly said: "Your Highness, please tell Young Master Yuan that a gentleman has his own beauty and jade to match him, so why should he be obsessed with Pu Liu."

"Yuan Ziyu has been searching for your brother's whereabouts."

Yu Tingwan's fingers trembled slightly, and her voice was dry: "Is there any news?"

Pei Zhi's brows and eyes were a little warmer under the candlelight, "It would be better for your concubine to ask him directly tomorrow."

Yu Tingwan's heart was beating fast. She only had one wish now, which was to find her brother.

When Pei Zhi saw that she had tacitly agreed to meet Yuan Ziyu, he nodded and said, "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock, we will be by the Taiye Pond."

On the night when the emperor was seriously ill, the conversation between the powerful officials and the concubine, who was known to be beautiful, inevitably made people imagine.

Therefore, Pei Zhi did not say any more, but returned to the main hall and bowed respectfully to the emperor as a minister. The guards who came with him had already surrounded the main hall and were silently guarding the outside.

The prince looked on and felt guilty. When the young powerful minister in front of him was five years old, he dared to point to the dragon chair and said: "Uncle, Ah Zhi wants to sit on it too."

He disguised himself so perfectly that he gained a high reputation among the people in recent years. Some even said that he was King Wen and could be replaced by the Zhou Dynasty.

In the middle of the night, King Wei finally left, and Concubine Xian ordered her concubines to return to the palace first.

For some reason, the Yilan Palace was quite cold, but Yu Tingwan felt tired and still slept deeply.

"Mother, it's already time." Qiu Tao got close to Yu Tingwan, leaned over and gently shook her arm, "I have to go to Taiye Pond today."

Yu Tingwan understood Yuan Ziyu's temperament. He didn't care about etiquette and was quite arrogant. Whatever he wanted to do, he had to succeed.

Yesterday, she was able to publicly ask Pei Zhi to snatch the concubine. She didn't know what ridiculous things he would do in the future. Today, she had to stop thinking about Yuan Ziyu.

Yu Tingwan let out a long sigh and asked Qiu Tao to freshen himself up before going to the Taiye Pond.

"My dear concubine, long time no see." Yuan Ziyu stood up. He was tall and elegant, dressed in moon-white clothes, and looked chic.

Yuan Ziyu's mouth was bitter. He looked at the woman in front of him. She was clearly charming and charming, but she had an aura of elegance about her that made people dare not be rude.

"I would like to thank Mr. Yuan for asking King Wei to come and save my life last night. But now that I have entered the palace, I still don't want to see you in the future."

"Why bother to say thank you? Your Majesty is knowledgeable and I admire you deeply. Now that the situation in the court is in turmoil, I can ask the King of Wei to take you out of the palace and keep your name anonymous." Yuan Ziyu is really bohemian and does not care that this is the palace. "I have a house in the suburbs of Beijing. I live in a house, and if I don’t mind it, I can stay there forever.”

"I usually live in the Yuan Mansion and will not disturb the noble concubine." Yuan Ziyu continued: "I have been looking for Mr. Yu's whereabouts. If there is any news in the future, it will be convenient to send it to the empress."

Yu Tingwan's voice was solemn, "No need, I am the concubine now. If my brother is still here, he will naturally come to look for me after making inquiries. Why should outsiders bother?"

"Given Mr. Yuan's family background and talent, he should find a noble lady who can raise his eyebrows, instead of saying these words regardless of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers."
