"You suspect that someone else is up to something, and our couple may also be implicated." Wan Shufang's mind turned quickly, and she quickly understood the worry hidden in Chen Changli's words.

She began to ponder every word Zhao Xu said, wishing she could understand the emperor's thoughts through those words, and then try to figure out whether someone was behind the current state of the civil and military officials and the emperor.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu didn't mention too many things. Wan Shufang couldn't figure out what was going on even if she tried hard.

She could only think along Chen Changli's train of thought. After thinking for a while, she sighed: "It's useless even if we know that someone is up to something. After all, we are all trapped here."

Having said this, Wan Shufang felt that she and Chen Changli should not worry about outside things, lest they confused themselves with random thoughts without knowing anything.

"Since the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince are secretly helping each other, a lot of things will happen every day." Chen Changli looked relaxed, "Zhao Xu is running around outside and has to find a way out for himself. He will definitely do what I think. As he said, he is very concerned about the affairs of civil and military officials. If the things are similar to my guess, he will definitely tell me what he knows after three days. "

Chen Changli paused for a moment after speaking this tone, and then continued: "However, it is not ruled out that His Majesty is tired of dealing with some villains, so he asked someone to let us couple out."

Wan Shufang felt that this possibility was very high, and immediately said: "We just have to wait patiently. In short, our couple is of some use to His Majesty, and he will not keep us locked up forever."

Chen Changli had always thought so, but after listening to Zhao Xu's words, he felt worried that the emperor would fight with the civil and military officials and forget about the couple.

However, no matter how worried he was, he had to put his mind at ease at this moment and not think randomly, lest, as Wan Shufang said, he would think too much and miss the truth.

After the thought became clear, Chen Changli relaxed completely.

He stayed in the prison silently with Wan Shufang again, occasionally understanding and analyzing the things outside through some words of the jailer.

The couple had something to do in prison. Not only did they feel that life was passing quickly, but they also felt that some of the jailers had better information. Unfortunately, they were all afraid of the emperor's anger and were unwilling to pass on some news to the couple.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang did not feel disappointed and kept waiting patiently.

While they were waiting, everyone who returned to the General's Mansion discussed some matters and continued to Cheng'en Gong's Mansion the next day.

The flower-viewing banquet was held as scheduled, but not many noble ladies came. Yun Qiongying did not feel disappointed. After all, the noble ladies who would come to the banquet at this moment all had a good relationship with her.

Their father and brother were also very powerful in the court, so it was a piece of cake for Yun Qiongying to get information from them.

However, these noble ladies were frightened by the recent events, and they all hid at home, not daring to inquire about things, or to act coquettishly to their fathers and brothers.

Yun Qiongying wants to know something from them, which is simply making things difficult for them.

"Miss Yun, how can we know what happened in the court?" A noble lady said with dissatisfaction.

Another noble girl nodded quickly: "We are different from you. After all, although our father and brother love us, they are unwilling to tell us some things, just because in their eyes, our curiosity will make them irritated and give us trouble." They cause trouble."

As soon as she said this, everyone else nodded, and then looked at Yun Qiongying with envy.

Duke Cheng'en loved his daughter, so Yun Qiongying could act coquettishly to him and ask about things she was interested in.

They don't dare to imitate Yun Qiongying, and they are destined not to be Yun Qiongying. How can they trouble their father and brother just because of Yun Qiongying's words.

"I didn't consider this matter properly, and I hope you can forgive me."

Listening to the words of these noble ladies, Yun Qiongying also knew how immature her thoughts were, and she couldn't help but feel guilty on her face.

She solemnly apologized to the ladies, and then she and Chen Xiyun shared various flowers with them.

When the ladies saw her like this, they couldn't be more dissatisfied and immediately focused on the flowers.

After admiring the flowers for a day, they joked with Yun Qiongying before leaving.

But after returning home, facing their mothers who were concerned and questioning them, they all thought about it and told Yun Qiongying's strange behavior, and then asked the emperor timidly about what happened recently.

When their mother heard what they said, she immediately guessed that Yun Qiongying held this flower-viewing banquet to learn something from their daughters.

However, their daughters were very cautious and were afraid that the emperor would suddenly go crazy. Even if they guessed that Yun Qiongying wanted to collect information, they did not respond directly. Instead, they pointed out the matter and politely rejected Yun Qiongying.

The ladies all have their own ideas and understandings. They don't want to put themselves in danger. Naturally, their mother doesn't want them to get involved in unnecessary trouble because of Yun Qiongying, so everyone protects them unanimously. May they be so frightened that they cannot go out freely.

Yun Qiongying didn't know what the ladies were thinking and the situation they might face next. She sent invitations to them the next day, planning to select a few like-minded friends to do something, but she didn't expect that she would send them out. The invitation was turned back.

"Why was the invitation returned?" Chen Xiyun on the side felt strange and asked subconsciously.

Yun Qiongying also murmured in her heart, and then she figured out one thing, that is, the ladies guessed her thoughts and rejected her in order not to cause trouble.

"They just want to protect themselves." Yun Qiongying looked bitter, "I thought they really didn't know anything, but I didn't expect that they were fooling me."

Speaking of this fact, Yun Qiongying felt very sad and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Chen Xiyun quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and kept comforting her: "Miss Yun, you don't have to feel sorry for these people. After all, they are doing this to help me."

Yun Qiongying took the handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and said with a trembling voice: "You are right next to me, how could they not guess this?"

Speaking of this, Yun Qiongying became more and more dissatisfied and her face became ugly, "If I had known they would be like this, I wouldn't have sent them invitations."

She said, clutching her handkerchief tightly, but her thoughts kept spinning.

She still has good friends. As long as she convinces them, the matter of gathering information will be safe. But what kind of excuse should she use to invite them over?

Yun Qiongying was thinking like this, her brows twisted into a knot unconsciously.

At this time, the Crown Princess walked in surrounded by several maids.

She looked at Yun Qiongying, who was frowning, and immediately snorted: "What have you been busy with lately? Why don't you come to see me?"
