Chapter 115 Wrong Room

I pretended to cough a few times to show that I hadn't recovered yet: "I still need to rest for a while!"

"I heard that you were outside the palace, helping Mr. Jin solve a big case! I envied you so much! If I had known that Zhiyu and the others were going there, I would have gone along to join in the fun!"

"Oh! It's all a matter of luck! There's still no result for the treatment of Bai Xuan."

"Minister Bai has been traveling around a lot these days. However, Mr. Jin has already reported this to Grandfather Emperor, and Grandfather Emperor will definitely not allow such evil people to continue to live and endanger the people!"

I supported my face with one hand, listening to Feng Zhixu talking. Yu Tuan ran over in a hurry: "Girl! Girl!"

Seeing Feng Zhixu, he bowed quietly before speaking slowly: "Miss! It's very lively outside, say yes!"

She turned her gaze to Feng Zhixu again, leaned close to my ear, and whispered, "I heard that Fang Juexia tried to seduce the prince, but was exposed by the prince, causing the prince to be furious!"

Wow! That's new!

"Hey! What are you talking about! Why are you whispering in front of others?" Feng Zhixu asked.

"There's some fun! Let's go see!" I stood up excitedly.

"What's the excitement? Let's go!"

My grandfather saw through my thoughts at a glance, nodded slightly, and tacitly agreed to my request.

We followed Yutuan to the crowd and moved forward in the crowd. People's shoulders were like dense seaweed. I twisted sideways and skillfully slipped through two broad shoulders, as if I had found a narrow passage in the sea of ​​people. Following the guidance of waves of discussions and exclamations, I finally squeezed to the front line, and the view in front of me suddenly opened up.

Fang Juexia was sitting beside the bed crying, while Prince Feng Zhiyan was standing beside the bed with his hands on his hips and the corners of his mouth turned down.

I looked around at the furnishings in the hall, feeling uneasy. I turned my gaze to Yuyi and Yutuan, trying to convey through my eyes: Isn't this the room we just left?

Yutuan smiled stiffly and rubbed the pockets of her clothes with her hands helplessly.

"Hey! What happened? Why is my royal brother here with Miss Fang?" Feng Zhixu asked, pulling a eunuch over.

"This... this Miss Fang tricked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into this side hall, and wanted to... wanted to make it a fait accompli!" The eunuch stammered.

Feng Zhixu's eyes were full of inquiry: "Is she crazy? Or was she framed?"

"Why is Miss Fang so anxious? Wasn't her marriage to the prince already expected?"

"You don't know yet! Because of the case of Dalang from the Bai family, Jin Zhuangyuan found out a lot about the Bai family's dealings with the Marquis of Wanning. His Majesty was furious and has even considered depriving him of his title."

"Oh~ I think that Wan Ning Hou is desperate and wants to try any possible means! He wants to climb up the tree of the prince to save his life!"

I didn't expect that Bai Yan's case could actually involve Wan Ning Marquis Mansion. So... the original purpose of the aromatherapy in the house was...

So, did I do something good... or something bad...?

The eunuchs in the palace came with the imperial edict, informing Fang Juexia and Feng Zhiyan that they were urgently summoned by the emperor, and the crowd dispersed.

Feng Zhiyan sighed deeply, his tone full of regret: "It's really shocking. For the sake of the family's honor and disgrace, they forced their daughter to do such a shameful thing!"

I raised the question in my mind with doubt: "I heard that the late Duke Fang fought side by side with Your Majesty on the battlefield. Will Your Majesty show some leniency to the Marquisate because of their old friendship?"

Feng Zhiyan shook his head and said firmly, "That's because you don't know my grandfather yet. He is very clear about rewards and punishments. Not to mention former comrades, even our own children and grandchildren, once we cross the line, he will punish us severely."

"So impartial?"

Feng Zhiyan covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "It is said that my father left the capital because he was dissatisfied with the control of my grandmother, but that is not true. Back then, for some reason, my father angered my grandfather and was demoted to guard the city on the border."

I stared at him with my mouth wide open, eyes wide open: "Is there such a thing?"

Feng Zhiyan continued in a low voice: "This is what my mother told me. She followed my father to leave the capital without hesitation, and became a legend in the capital. However, you know that in this borderland, apart from the continuous mountains, there is a desolate Gobi Desert, with raging winds and sand, and yellow sand blocking the sun. When night falls, the wind is cold and biting, and you have to be alert to the signals of the beacon tower at all times, so you can't sleep at night."

Oh no! It seems that being the crown prince is not easy.

We returned to the banquet and found the Queen already sitting on the Phoenix Chair. We were quite far away and could not see her face clearly.

During the meal, various dishes and rice dumplings were added, but I only picked up two, both of which were sweet rice dumplings. Sui threw them on the plate and fiddled with them aimlessly with his chopsticks.

As the night deepened, the palace lanterns gradually lit up, like stars falling into the earth, illuminating the entire banquet hall as if it were daytime.

The dancers danced gracefully, their long sleeves fluttering, like fairies descending to earth. Their steps were light and graceful, accompanied by the rhythm of the music, sometimes gentle, sometimes passionate, attracting everyone's attention.

"Where's Yuyi?"

Yu Tuan swallowed the last piece of hawthorn fruit, looked around, and replied, "I sent Princess Qi back to Jiuqu Pavilion, but she hasn't come back yet."

"Maybe she's lost? It's been so long, just walking back and forth is enough. Do you want to go out and look for her?"

"Okay, serve some new dishes. Miss, please save some for us~" Yutuan ran out of the hall with a smile.

The meals changed, the plates were removed and replaced, but the emperor never showed up. My eyes were fixed on that door, hoping that it would be over as soon as possible so that I could leave here quickly.

I unconsciously rubbed my stomach which was a little uncomfortable due to overeating. I felt very bored, so I decided to go out to look for Yuyi and Yutuan. After finding them, I would go home with my grandfather.

I gently knocked on the door of Jiuqu Pavilion and saw several maids laughing and playing in the courtyard. No one noticed that Princess Qi had left and returned to the palace first.

I woke up Princess Qi, and then I found out that Yuyi had soaked her feet, and she left after she rested.

The stars in the night sky were sparse, and I walked on the silent palace road, my footsteps echoing in the empty space. My shadow was sometimes elongated, sometimes shortened, like a loyal partner, silently accompanying me.

Occasionally, the rustling sound of wind blowing through branches in the distance made me quicken my pace, and a sense of uneasiness surged in my heart.

Could it be that Yutuan found Yuyi, and the two of them chose another path and went back?

There is a brightly lit area in the direction of the Girls' School. Logically, there shouldn't be anyone there at this time.

Thinking back to the incident of walking into the wrong room in the afternoon, I began to have some ominous premonitions, so I quickened my pace and ran towards the girls' school.
