Pei Zhi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He usually smiled like a gentle gentleman, as if he had put on a false shell. At this moment, regardless of his manners, he actually had a bit more of a breeze and a bright moon.

"I didn't know that your concubine hated this matter so much, so I won't mention it from now on."

Just as Pei Zhi was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something, "I have an ordinary maid who is proficient in martial arts beside me. I gave it to the noble concubine. I can just apologize."

A woman wearing barbarian clothes jumped down from the tree. Her body was light and she landed like a cat.

"My slave, Jiao Yue, has met the noble concubine."

Yu Tingwan frowned and was about to refuse, but heard Pei Zhi's voice was light and suggested that he could not refuse.

"The imperial concubine refuses to accept it. Does she have a grudge against the minister?"

"No." Yu Tingwan sighed.

Jiao Yue has great martial arts skills. Pei Zhi just kept his back to the tree. He trusted Jiao Yue so much. She was by no means an ordinary maid.

Yu Tingwan looked at the bright moon in front of her, who was both a maid and a spy. She was ready to die but she had to die clearly.

What price did Yuan Ziyu offer that made Pei Zhi take his request so seriously?

"Your Highness, may I ask what Mr. Yuan Sangong did in exchange for you protecting me like this?"

"Use him and Mr. Yuan Qi."

Yu Tingwan's expression changed. Pei Zhi told her clearly that there was no way she could shake this deal.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Ziyu will leave in a few days to take up his post in Donghai County." Pei Zhi said in a pleasant voice, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured for now."

Mrs. Yuan used her marriage relationship with her second wife to bring the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang into the palace. Yuan Ziyu avoided her and was so anxious that she didn't even want to stay in the capital. She took the post of East China Sea prefect and took office in a hurry.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I will remember the life-saving grace of His Highness and Mr. Yuan San in my heart, but more importantly, please forgive me for saying that it has nothing to do with me."

Pei Zhi didn't say anything, only said softly: "We will talk about these things later. I have to leave. I'm afraid Your Majesty will be anxiously waiting in the Zichen Palace."

Not long after Pei Zhi left, Yu Tingwan let out a long sigh as he looked at the sky where the palace city was divided into pieces.

If her brother is willing to take her away, she will leave here even if she tries everything, and no one else can be trusted.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has just regained consciousness. He ordered your Majesty to go to the Zichen Palace to attend to your illness."

A thin eunuch braved the cold wind and came over to deliver the order. Yu Tingwan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know, I'll change my clothes later."

In the Yilan Hall, Qiu Tao helped Yu Tingwan change into plainer clothes. She asked doubtfully: "My Lady, these clothes are old. Isn't it a bit careless to put them on?"

"Your Majesty is still ill. It would be bad to wear something too flashy."

When she arrived at the Zichen Palace by chariot, the eunuch who communicated the message said: "My Lady, wait a moment, the King of Wei is still inside."

About a quarter of an hour later, Pei Zhi came out of the palace and saw Yu Ting waiting outside, with the tip of his nose red from the cold.

"The empress has been waiting outside, and she doesn't even have a hand stove. The palace people in Zichen Palace are getting more and more helpless."

There was no anger in Pei Zhi's voice, but the palace people beside him all turned pale.

All the people in the Zichen Palace were from the King of Wei, so how could they be interested in a helpless concubine in the emperor's harem? At this moment, when Pei Zhi said something, he nodded and bowed and said: "My dear concubine, please."

The palace servant led her into the inner room, which was quite warm. She bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor was much more awake today and waved to her with a hoarse voice, "My beloved concubine, come to my bed."

Halfway through Yu Ting's evening, the emperor also noticed her reluctance, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he looked obsessed and murmured: "Yuan Ziyu's "Ode to Chang'e" is indeed half correct."

Whenever Yuan Ziyu writes a new poem, it will be spread all over the world in just a few months. How come she doesn't know about "Ode to Chang'e"?

Seeing her surprise, the emperor was happy to explain the beauty's doubts and ordered someone to bring out the treasured poem.

"I have always heard that my beloved concubine is beautiful, but I never believe it. Last year, there was a banquet for Concubine De's birthday, and Yuan Ziyu also came. After drinking too much, she got excited and wrote this article."

"After I finished reading, I asked him how he could describe the appearance of the goddess in such detail. He only said that the daughter-in-law of the Yu family was the goddess, and words were not enough to describe 30% of it. Every time I read the article, I yearned for my beloved concubine even more. ."

Yu Tingwan read it carefully and couldn't help but tremble with anger. The words used in it were too Meng Lang. Perhaps because of this, the poem was deliberately concealed and did not leak out of the palace.

She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I am going to see if your medicine is ready."

"Those who own the palace are watching, why do you need to take care of it personally." The emperor's temperament was uncertain, and he suddenly said: "My beloved concubine does not want to be in the same room with me. The night I was seriously ill, you had a private conversation with Pei Zhi. .”

The emperor knew Yuan Ziyu's admiration for the imperial concubine, but after all, Yuan Ziyu had family constraints and could not take Yu Tingwan away for a while.

What he was afraid of was Pei Zhi. The Pei family was obviously a top-notch family member who had served as ministers for many generations. However, the former King of Wei did not care about etiquette, so there was no guarantee that Pei Zhi looked like his father.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Yu Tingwan's lips. Ever since she came to the capital, these men had made her more and more upset.

Needless to say, the emperor and the prince, Yuan Ziyu's poem directly aroused the emperor's desire to have a concubine.

As for Pei Zhi, a prince who exchanged her for the loyalty of his ministers, she would not be tempted by him even if she was tempted by the pine trees in Yilan Palace.

"Your Majesty is too worried."

Even though Yu Tingwan's face was pale and a little perfunctory, the emperor's expression still brightened.

Half an hour later, the prince asked for an audience outside the palace. The emperor was unhappy again, with a hint of anger. The prince had not asked for permission all day long. What time was it now?

"Let him get in."

"I would like to send my regards to my father," the prince said, glancing at the imperial concubine.

The emperor reprimanded him: "You have been enjoying yourself in the East Palace all day long. I heard that you have taken in several beautiful maids? The Crown Princess is the daughter of the Wen family. You have only been married for a few years, and you are so indulgent. Wouldn't it be even more disgraceful to the Wen family?" Fuck you."

"If Mrs. Wen was interested in her son, she would not marry a concubine from a branch clan."

"You!" The emperor breathed rapidly, "Go back to your East Palace and don't come here to anger me."

The prince sneered in his heart, wondering what his father was urging him to do all day long. He just wanted to make progress. Did Pei Zhi give him a chance to intervene in government affairs?

The East Palace has long been a decoration, and the Zhou royal family is now the laughing stock of the world.

The prince couldn't help but glance at Yu Tingwan again. Regardless of the fact that the emperor was still lying on the couch, he became distracted and refused to return to the East Palace.

"Why is Your Majesty's medicine not healed yet? I'll go take a look." Yu Tingwan got up and wanted to get away from the prince.

As soon as she left, the prince made an excuse to leave. He said he was going back to the East Palace, but in fact he went to the side hall where the medicine was cooked.

The palace people didn't care, so they all ran out without anyone watching. In the empty side hall, Yu Tingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Until I heard the sound of footsteps, the prince's voice came: "My dear concubine, you are lonely alone, so I am here to help you."
