"Your Majesty." The palace attendant who had been not far away came forward. Her face was extremely ordinary, making people forget it. "Divine doctor Que said that sexual intercourse is not allowed. Besides, it is difficult for you to even stay."

The emperor's eyes were filled with anger. This person was Pei Zhi's spy. Looking at the calluses on his feet and hands, he was clearly a practicing master. The emperor sneered. If he really touched his own concubine, would this slave dare to kill the king?

He wanted to see if King Wei dared to kill him when he launched a war in Huai River under the banner of Zhou Dynasty.

"Who said this requires my effort?" The emperor leaned on the couch and saw Yu Tingwan subconsciously retreating, and said in a hoarse voice: "How to serve a man, didn't King Wei teach you?"

Yu Tingwan was in a daze, suspecting that he heard wrongly, and murmured: "What?"

The emperor's face was filled with clouds, "I thought that my beloved concubine had learned a lot of tricks, otherwise how could I seduce King Wei to speak in person."

"There is no distance between me and the King of Wei."

"He was here at the beginning to take you out of the palace." The emperor recalled the scene at that time and said sadly: "No, it was Yuan Ziyu who asked him to take you away. My beloved concubine is so lively and lively, but she does not live up to her beauty."

"Your Majesty is sick and confused, and he is talking nonsense." The palace attendant just now came forward and handed over a bowl of soup. "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready. You must drink it on time."

"Get out." The emperor was so angry that he stretched out his hand to knock over the medicine bowl. The palace man did not expect the emperor to drink the medicine, so he took the opportunity to tap the acupuncture points, holding the medicine that was not sprinkled, and said to Yu Tingwan: "Your concubine, Ye It’s too late, it’s better to leave first.”

Jiao Yue glanced at the palace man one more time and pulled Yu Tingwan away. She walked out of the Zichen Palace and said, "Don't worry, noble concubine, the palace man is Ying Yue. As long as she is here, nothing will happen."

Yingyue was of high rank in the Dragon-Slaying Guards, and she and Chiying were Pei Zhi's confidants, so it was normal for him to control the old emperor on behalf of King Wei.

Yu Tingwan took a deep breath and said softly: "It's okay, let's go back."

As soon as she returned to Yilan Hall, she saw Pei Zhi sitting calmly in the outer hall, holding a white jade cake in his hand. His fingers were as long as jade, making ordinary cakes look precious.

"I have met your empress." Pei Zhi stood up and said, "I came here uninvited tonight to make amends."

Yu Tingwan remembered what the emperor said and understood what Pei Zhi must have said. His chest heaved up and down with anger, and he backed away from the other palace guests, leaving only the bright moon beside him.

"I dare to ask, Your Highness, what kind of apology you are asking for." Yu Tingwan frowned slightly, "If the apology is for you to smear my innocence in front of His Majesty, and say that you and I were in cahoots with each other, then I will find it hard to accept it."

"I just asked your majesty to take care of your empress today, but your majesty actually thought wrong." Pei Zhi stared at Yu Tingwan's eyes very seriously and spoke with an extremely apologetic voice, "Fortunately, I specially gave the order to the palace, and your majesty will not Humiliate the empress."

"Really?" Yu Tingwan didn't believe his words at all, and sneered: "Your Highness is joking. Your Majesty is my husband, so there is no need to humiliate me."

"That's it. If that's the case, I won't let anyone stop you if Your Majesty wants your Majesty to serve you in the future." Pei Zhi said thoughtfully, "I may be able to send your Majesty back, and it should be too late."

"No need to bother King Wei." Yu Tingwan glanced at the bright moon and said, "Go prepare the sedan and chariot. I will go to Zichen Hall now."

Jiao Yue was stubborn, completely ignored Pei Zhi's cold eyes, and really went out to prepare the sedan.

"Your Majesty's body is in ruins. If your Majesty gets wind of the horse because of it." Pei Zhi's voice was cold and his face was so ugly that people couldn't help but tremble. "You are the evil concubine who has brought disaster to the country. Can your Majesty bear such a crime?"

"If something happens to Your Majesty today, it will be because of His Majesty." Yu Tingwan was angry. One person said that she was a licentious woman, and the other said that she would become a demon concubine who would bring disaster to the country. She didn't know that she had such abilities.

Pei Zhi saw her face away and held her chin, but when he touched her skin, he was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously relaxed his strength. He leaned over and said, "I don't want to offend my queen, but you have to listen to my explanation."

"I swear, I will never mention that I have an affair with my empress." Pei Zhi saw Yu Tingwan turning to look at him, put down his hand, and found that even though he was gentle, there was still a little red mark on her face. .

A trace of guilt flashed past, replaced by an inexplicable impulse. Pei Zhi found that he was particularly eager to leave something on the person in front of him and put a unique mark on it, so that he would not have to waste words to remind others not to touch it.

He stared at the red mark with such deep eyes that Yu Tingwan's scalp felt inexplicably numb, but he still asked: "Since His Highness didn't mention it, why would His Majesty think that way?"

"Of course it's because..." Pei Zhi came to his senses, "I was entrusted by Yuan Ziyu and took great care of my empress, which aroused your Majesty's suspicion."

When this matter was mentioned, Yu Tingwan said angrily: "Are you entrusted by him? Are you also entrusted by him when you place spies in Yilan Palace?"

"Of course." Pei Zhi nodded and admitted the matter, "I am also worried about my queen's safety."

"Then Your Highness and Prefect Yuan are really close brothers." Yu Tingwan said coldly: "Since I refuse to follow Yuan Ziyu out of the palace, I will not waver. Your Highness, don't bother. I have always hated being watched. I can't bear Your Highness's worries." rise."

"In that case, I will remove the spies tomorrow." Pei Zhi looked very talkative.

Yu Tingwan couldn't believe the words of the person in front of her. What was worse was that she couldn't confirm whether what Pei Zhi said was true or false.

Jiao Yue came in and said, "Mother, the sedan chair is ready, are we still going?"

Pei Zhi originally planned to take a gamble to see if Yu Tingwan would go, but at this moment he couldn't help it, and said in a cold voice: "If the empress goes, tomorrow I will order the Yushitai to participate in the performance. It just depends on whether the empress wants to bet on this tone. It’s still about fame.”

Zhou Yushi was still her father's old friend, and Yu Tingwan wanted to be famous. She didn't expect Pei Zhi to threaten her like this, so she fell silent for a while.

"It seems that the empress is not ready to go." Pei Zhi's aura became weaker, and he said as gently as usual: "I will leave first."

Seeing that the big Buddha was finally sent away, Yu Tingwan suddenly became weak and asked Jiaoyue: "Is there something on my face?"

Just now, Pei Zhi stared at her for a moment, making her feel that she was a sheep brought to the mouth of the snake, and that Pei Zhi was just gauging how to swallow her in one gulp.

"My Lady, your chin is a little red, but it's not obvious. Do you need me to apply some plaster?"

Yu Tingwan glanced at the bronze mirror and said, "No need."

Early on the next morning, Qiu Tao was waiting for her to get dressed. She had just finished tying her bun into a ponytail and was carefully choosing the right hairpin when the bright moon came in and said, "Yuan Ziyu is here again."

"Just say that I'm still awake and seeing off guests." Yu Tingwan's tone was cold.

"He refuses to leave. Ruyi has been trying to persuade him for a long time."

Yu Tingwan raised his eyes, Ruyi never liked talking to outsiders, how could he be able to argue with Yuan Ziyu when he met him today?

When they arrived at the outer hall, they saw that Ruyi mustered up the courage, and with a hoarse voice, he stumbled and accused Yuan Ziyu: "The prefect put the empress in the spotlight because of his selfishness. You are really... really..."

Ruyi racked his brains to think of a suitable word, but found someone patting his shoulder. Looking back, it was Yu Tingwan.

"Ruyi, you go back to the inner hall first. I have a few words to say to Governor Yuan."
