Yan Qing spent two days investigating before he found out the old woman's background. She was the former madam of Qingfeng Pavilion, Chen Baihua.

She was also very beautiful when she was young, but when she grew old and her looks faded, she took over Qingfeng Pavilion with another sister from that era and became the madam.

Unexpectedly, that sister teamed up with her lover and almost killed her, but she failed to kill her and was kicked out of Qingfeng Pavilion.

Yan Qing said: "As for how we got in touch with the Huns, I don't know."

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and came up with an idea in his mind, "Just keep an eye on that place and ask Master Zhang to release a few more innocent people."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Qing responded and left Muyunxuan.

At this time, a servant walked in and said, "Your Highness, a letter has been sent from the palace." Then he handed the letter to Xiao Yu respectfully.

Xiao Yu opened the post, took a look at it, and said calmly, "Got it, send the post to the princess."

"Yes."

Su Lingyue received the invitation and put it on the table after reading it. "Your Majesty has also read it?"

The servant replied, "Yes, Your Majesty has just seen it."

"My Lord...did you say anything?"

"No, they just told me to give it to the princess."

"Understood, you go down."

Looking at the post on the table, Su Lingyue fell into deep thought.

In previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquets were fine, but ever since she went to the palace to see her aunt last time, she has been very concerned about what her aunt says.

My aunt said that my father and His Majesty would not let Xiao Yu go.

The palace is His Majesty's territory and guards are not allowed to enter the palace. If His Majesty wants to take action, wouldn't Xiao Yu be walking into the tiger's mouth if he goes there?

I couldn't tell him directly. The last time I spoke my true feelings at the Jiaofang Bureau, Xiao Yu already had that expression.

If he knew that the emperor and his father wanted to kill him, he and his aunt might also be implicated.

The best thing to do is not to let him go.

This time, how can he let Xiao Yu enter the palace for the banquet without affecting himself?

In recent days, because of the assassination of Su Nanxing, Xiao Changshi was exempted from attending court and stayed in the mansion to accompany Su Nanxing.

The Prince's Mansion was also surrounded by guards like an iron barrel, and Ji Tang had no chance to get close.

Su Lingyue couldn't believe that after all these things, Xiao Changshi still liked Su Nanxing as always.

As long as Xiao Changshi changes his mind, Su Lingyue will have the opportunity to break up the marriage between Xiao Changshi and Su Nanxing.

In this way, Xiao Changshi and Su Heng's plan to rebel might be foiled.

But how should Xiao Yu persuade him?

In Muyun Pavilion, Xiao Yu handed a drawing to Yun Ting, "This is the map of the imperial palace. For this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, you will disguise yourself as me and take a closer look at the distribution of the guards in Chonghua Palace."

Yun Ting took the blueprint Xiao Yu handed over and hesitated, "But the princess will be there too. What if she recognizes me?"

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and said calmly: "She and I have become very distant. As long as I ignore her, she won't see through me."

Yan Qing was still a little worried, "What if we meet other people?"

"Everyone knows that I am seriously ill. In the past, I would just cough a few times when I met someone I didn't want to talk to. During the reunion festival, no one wants to be affected by bad luck."

When Xiao Yu said this, his expression was still calm, as if he was talking to someone who was unimportant.

"Your Highness, please stop saying such things!" Yun Ting's expression darkened, not wanting to hear any more such words.

Their prince has shouldered too much along the way. If it weren't for him, he, Yan Qing and the others would have died long ago, and there would be no possibility of clearing the grievances of his old friends.

How could he be unlucky? He is the god of everyone.

Seeing Yun Ting's expression, Xiao Yu did not continue to speak. At this time, the servant came in and reported, "My lord, the princess is here."

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and frowned slightly. What was Su Lingyue doing here at this time?

"Let her in."

After the announcement, Su Lingyue came in with the help of a maid, looking very weak and pale.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but worry and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Su Lingyue covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, I have caught a cold these past two days, and I am afraid I will not be able to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tomorrow."

As she spoke, she was supported by Caidie Caiyi and sat on the chair next to Xiao Yu. She glanced at the teacup on the table.

"Have you seen a doctor?" It was a caring word, but the voice was cold.

Su Lingyue said weakly: "I checked it out. The doctor said it's fine. Just rest for two days."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's expression relaxed and his tone softened, "In that case, you don't have to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tomorrow. I can go by myself."

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled expression. Based on his personality, shouldn't he not go?

Why does he like to join in the fun again?

Xiao Yu's deep eyes were also staring at her, and Su Lingyue's ears turned slightly red.

She cleared her throat, looked away, and whispered, "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently because of the Crown Prince's affairs. If the prince has nothing to do, it would be better for him to stay in the mansion to avoid being implicated."

Xiao Yu heard Su Lingyue's words, which showed some concern, but her words still showed that she also cared about Xiao Changshi's affairs, which made Xiao Yu feel very bad.

"It is not your turn to take care of my affairs. Since your health is not good, you should go back and recuperate!" His voice was icy cold, chilling people to the bone.

Su Lingyue didn't understand why Xiao Yu had been like this lately. He became so moody and his words were so cold that made people feel uncomfortable.

Since persuasion doesn't work, let's try something more direct.

Su Lingyue said weakly to Caidie Caiyi beside her: "Caidie Caiyi, help me go back."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two men walked in front of Su Lingyue, one on the left and one on the right, helping Su Lingyue up.

Su Lingyue took advantage of the crowd to stand up, stretched out her arm, gently brushed Xiao Yu's teacup with the handkerchief in her hand, and quietly sprinkled a little medicine powder into the cup.

Su Lingyue was about to withdraw her hand, but Xiao Yu grabbed her wrist. Su Lingyue tried to break free but couldn't.

My movements were so subtle that he couldn't possibly notice them, but I still felt a little guilty.

She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yu, "What's wrong, my lord?"

There was icy coldness on Xiao Yu's face and eyes, just like on their wedding night. It was like a sharp sword unsheathed, as if he was ready to cut Su Lingyue into pieces at any time.

Su Lingyue was very frightened by his look and pulled her hand away again.

He couldn't pull it out, and Xiao Yu still held it tightly, causing it to hurt.

Xiao Yu said coldly, "Princess, don't you want to drink a glass of water before you leave?"

As he spoke, he picked up the cup with his other hand and brought it to Su Lingyue's lips.

He discovered the drugging just now!

"Miss!" Caidie Caiyi knew what was in the cup and wanted to pull Su Lingyue away, but she couldn't.

If you drink this water you will be dizzy for three days. After three days, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will be over. How can I find out what happened?

Su Lingyue took the cup with her other hand and said softly, "Your Highness, I'll take it myself."

However, Xiao Yu had no intention of letting go and just looked at her coldly.

Su Lingyue made up her mind and pushed Xiao Yu's arm hard, almost spilling the water in the cup.

"Your Highness, this... I didn't stand firmly just now. Come back for tea next time."

Su Lingyue knew that her explanation at this point was weak, and she couldn't just tell Xiao Yu that she had drugged him.

If he asked me why I drugged him, I would have no way to explain it.

She forcefully pried open Xiao Yu's hand, and was helped by Caidie Caiyi to leave Muyunxuan.

Xiao Yu looked at the direction where Su Lingyue left with cold eyes, Su Lingyue, you finally took action!

"Call Uncle Lu over."
