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

As soon as he stepped into Wangchun Terrace, Yu Tingwan was stunned. It is hard to overstate how extravagant this place is.

There are seven floors inside, and the stairs spiral up. As soon as you enter, you can smell a faint aroma. This is because when Wangchundai was first built, the walls were painted with spices mixed with paint.

The stairs were wide enough to accommodate a small sedan. Seeing Yu Tingwan's haggard appearance, the servants invited her into a sedan with a gilded top and gold silk sandalwood, and carried her all the way up to the seventh floor.

Hot water had been prepared in the house early, and several maids came forward to help her bathe and change clothes. They were all careful about what they said, for fear that talking to her too much would cause trouble.

Yu Tingwan looked at the clean clothes embroidered with lotus patterns, her face turned pale, and she put them on resignedly. She grabbed the maid aside and asked, "Where is King Wei?"

She wanted to ask Pei Zhi how Qiutao and Jiaoyue were doing, and Ruyi. She wondered if Concubine Xian could protect her.

"Girl, I don't know where King Wei is." The maid saw that Yu Tingwan wanted to go out, so she stopped her and said, "Girl, the master has given orders. No one can let you out without his order."

Yu Tingwan was shocked and angry. What did Pei Zhi want to do?

In the past three days, Pei Zhi did not come to Wangchuntai once. Yu Tingwan gradually calmed down and recounted what happened during these days.

A fake Marquis of Jiangling could actually be so capable, take away a noble concubine and burn the palace, and even drive so many top masters to willingly die. Who is the person behind him? Pei Zhi must really want to know.

Now, the only person who might know who is behind this is Yu Tingwan.

Does that mean that she can actually talk to Pei Zhi about a deal?

Those maidservants were ordered not to talk to Yu Tingwan at will, and they always stood aside, like clay dolls.

Yu Tingwan walked up to them, coughed twice and said, "Go and tell King Wei, I can tell him the news he wants to know most."

One of the maids looked up at Yu Tingwan in surprise, then lowered her head in response.

After about half an hour, the maid came back and said softly: "Girl, the master said that he doesn't want to see you now."

Yu Tingwan was stunned. She never thought that Pei Zhi would not want to see her.

"Then when does he want to see me?"

"My slave doesn't know either."

Yu Tingwan didn't want to embarrass these people, so he sighed and sat on the edge of the couch, feeling extremely bored.

In the past three days, it was true that she had not inquired about what was going on outside, but these people seemed to be mute and did not say a word.

"Is there any book here?" Yu Tingwan asked suddenly. If he didn't talk to her, he had to ask her to read.

"Yes, my slave will get it for you."

The third to fifth floors of Wangcundai are all books collected by Princess Chengyang. Yu Tingwan suddenly became interested when she heard about it. Although she could not remember everything she read, she had read articles two or three times since she was a child. , can all be memorized backwards.

If she could return to her brother one day, maybe she could silence those orphans, which would be a good thing.

Half a month after she was trapped in Wangchuntai, Pei Zhi finally came, his face as before, warm and cold.

He looked at Yu Tingwan at the table, who was a little thinner, sitting there quietly, writing and thinking, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yu Tingwan noticed the sight and quickly stood up and stepped forward, asking impatiently: "Where are Jiao Yue and Qiu Tao? And how are the people in my palace doing?"

"The two maids who escaped with you are now living in Prince Wei's Mansion." Pei Zhi glanced at his pulled sleeves, "They are still alive."

"As for the palace maid of Yilan Palace, do you want to say the one named Ruyi? She is now in the Palace of Concubine Xian."

"That's good, that's good." Yu Tingwan murmured, then suddenly thought of something, and asked a little warily: "Did Your Highness lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you about such a trivial matter." Pei Zhi's expression did not change. "Earlier, you had to tell Gu Gu the news that I want to know most. If you tell what Gu Gu wants to know, maybe you can meet them."

Yu Tingwan's eyes lit up and she said nervously: "Don't you want to know who is behind the Marquis of Jiangling?"

As expected, Pei Zhi stopped smiling and said, "Say."

The lies she had carefully thought out over the past few days flashed through her mind, and she said seriously every word: "It's the Crown Prince of Liang——"

Pei Zhi chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Prince Liang has never met you, would he take such a risk for you?"

"Who says I have never met him? Speaking of which, I have a close relationship with him."

Pei Zhi's face darkened a little.

"King Wei, my mother's ancestral home is in Jiangxia. When I was young, I went to visit relatives with my mother. I happened to encounter a scuffle between the king of Wei and the king of Liang. The crown prince of Liang was still young at that time. After besieging all the squire's mansions, he saw it at a glance. He killed me and forced my grandfather and mother to agree to pick me up when he became an adult."

This matter is indeed true. Yu Tingwan has never been to Jiangxia since then. She is in Qingzhou, and the Crown Prince of Liang cannot cross the Huai River to capture her. In addition, the party struggle in Jinling is fierce. In order to win over the local wealthy families, the Crown Prince married Wu Xing early. The legitimate daughter of the Gu family.

The relationship between the prince and the prince's concubine was not good. In the past few years, the prince of Liang Wang kept bringing concubines into the house.

"He is married now." The porcelain cup in Pei's hand was almost broken, "Why should he be thinking about a concubine?"

Yu Tingwan was silent for a moment, "Of course it's because of my outstanding appearance that he will never forget me. What I just said is all true. Your Highness can send someone to Jiangxia to inquire about it."

When she was young, fortune tellers said that Yu Tingwan's fortune was extremely precious. When she was trapped in Jiangxia, the villagers saw that the prince of Liang had fallen in love with her, and they all thought that her lucky destiny was due to her ability to become the prince.

Pei Zhi sneered, "Chang'an is in the palm of my hand. Do you think the so-called Marquis of Jiangling did it very secretly?"

He indeed put a lot of effort into tracking down, and admitted that if this person were under his command, his strength could be comparable to that of Chi Ying, but it was a pity that he had to go against him.

"I found out that the master behind him is related to the Jinling Shen family."

The Shen family and the crown prince of Liang had many enemies, and they had been encouraging Prince Liang to establish another crown prince.

Yu Tingwan was sweating for a moment, and just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, he saw Pei Zhi leaning forward, and the distance between the two suddenly became unusually close.

"I didn't notice in the past that you were so good at lying." The anger in Pei Zhi's tone was almost uncontrollable, "But you have other ways to make me satisfied with you."

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

Pei Zhi raised his eyes and stared at her, his tone arrogant, as if he was giving a favor.

"Be a lonely roommate."

Did she hear wrongly? Yu Tingwan's eyes widened and he stood up in disbelief. A pen in his hand rolled to the ground.

"Your Highness, I am the concubine."

Pei Zhi said casually: "So what? There is no such thing as Concubine Yu anymore. Everyone in Chang'an City knows that Concubine Yu died in the fire."

"You..." Yu Tingwan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, "You clearly said you have no interest in me, and you want to use this to humiliate me?"
