Going to Fengxian Hall and the ancestral hall was all about holding people accountable for major clan matters, especially the Li Family Ancestral Hall. The royal family had to go to the Li Family Ancestral Hall because they couldn't make a decision. Doesn't this mean that the royal family should divorce Concubine Li?
Concubine Li straightened her back, raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Then there's no need."
If you refuse to go anywhere, how can everything go as Concubine Li wishes?
Qin Wan raised her eyes and looked at Xie Qing.
Xie Qing said to Concubine Li: "I will take you to find the emperor."
Qin Wan turned around, raised her hand and said to everyone, "Everyone, disperse."
Concubine Min quickly and efficiently took the other concubines and evacuated the irrelevant personnel.
As for the Seventh Princess? She's already in the room, so naturally she has to stay. What a worry! Don't let her turn around and be used as a pawn!
Concubine Min couldn't help but glare at the Seventh Princess.
The Fourth Prince seemed to have just received the news and rushed over. Upon seeing the scene, he cried out in dismay and ran to Concubine Li, saying in great distress, "Mother, what's going on?"
Concubine Li looked at her son's expression and closed her eyes, knowing that today's event was a complete failure. She opened her eyes again, her gaze was firm, and she was determined to insist that it was the eunuch who spread the rumors!
She exchanged a glance with the Fourth Prince, then walked up to Lord Yu, bowing deeply. "Lord Yu, I was reckless in this matter. I apologize. Madam Yu, I apologize for rushing here without fully understanding the situation. I apologize for this."
"This incident was caused by the young eunuch misrepresenting the truth. Now that I think about it, someone must be trying to sabotage our marriage and can't bear to see us prosper. So I will definitely give my in-laws an explanation."
"However, there is no need to alarm His Majesty about this matter. After all, His Majesty is weak and has been ill for a long time. It is not appropriate to trouble him."
Lord Yu resolutely refused. There was no one in charge in the harem. Imperial Concubine Li was the most senior, holding the title of concubine mother. The Crown Prince could at most imprison her, but it was difficult to punish her. "This is about my daughter-in-law's innocence. Naturally, I must go to His Majesty and make things clear. Besides, in-laws? Well, our Yu family is not worthy of Imperial Concubine Li. The marriage between our two families is over."
The Sixth Princess's expression changed drastically. She wanted to reach out and pull Princess Yu's sleeve, but with tears in her eyes she withdrew her hand.
Young Master Yu glanced at the Sixth Princess reluctantly, but walked out of the side hall with firm steps and stood behind Master Yu.
The Sixth Princess looked at Young Master Yu eagerly, wanting to chase him out. Then she looked at Concubine Li and her brother hopefully, hoping that they would say something to save the marriage.
Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince bowed and said, "I regret that I cannot become a relative of Master Yu."
He looked at the Sixth Princess again and said soothingly, "Don't worry, sister. I will definitely find you a perfect husband."
But I want Young Master Yu!
The Sixth Princess silently accused the Fourth Prince, but eventually she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable, so she turned and ran away.
Seeing this, the Seventh Princess quickly chased after her: "Sixth Sister!"
Madam Yu didn't say a word from beginning to end. When Madam Yu appeared, she quickly walked over to her and stood beside her.
Young Master Yu bowed to the Fourth Prince and said, "Fourth Prince, let's go."
The group headed towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony, which had been bustling just a moment ago, was now silent. The eunuchs and palace maids who were sweeping the hall moved briskly and silently.
Xie Qing and Qin Wan were two steps behind the others. They ordered someone to find the director and asked, "Have my father-in-law and mother-in-law returned?"
Qin Wan nodded: "I just ordered them to be escorted out of the palace. With my elder brother's experience as a lesson, they are now extremely cautious when entering the palace. I saw that something was wrong just now, so I ordered them to be escorted out."
Although he was a little nervous, Xie Qing had to admit that Qin Wan was being cautious.
He looked ahead and said calmly, "The Hall of Supreme Harmony is bustling with singing and dancing. How did Madam Yu's voice get out?"
Qin Wan glanced at him with a half-smile: "You guys are all together, don't you know whether Madam Yu screamed or not?"
Xie Qing smiled meaningfully. "The timing of these people's appearance was too coincidental. They called away Madam Yu first, and then called away Master Yu and me. I had to think about it. So I asked someone to call my Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister, and Young Master Yu together."
Qin Wan looked at Master Yu in front of her, who was constantly paying attention to Madam Yu's movements, and said with a smile, "Their love is so deep, it's really enviable."
"What? Don't we have a deep relationship?" Xie Qing was not happy to hear this.
Qin Wan couldn't help but laugh. "That's not what I meant. I just think that the Yu family are all smart people, and Young Mistress Yu isn't just an ordinary boudoir lady. Tell me, if things hadn't happened today, with one member of the Yu family standing by the Eastern Palace and the other by the Fourth Prince's side, would they still be able to stand firm in the future?"
Xie Qing touched his chin and said, "Lord Yu seems honest and loyal, but he is actually a fox. He is loyal to his family and will not let them fall into danger."
"He didn't think about playing both sides, he just wanted to avoid the fight for the throne, but he didn't expect that I and the fourth brother would drag him into the game. Since that was the case, he made preparations for both situations. Who knew that now, the fourth brother would force him to stand by my side."
Qin Wan smiled and said, "In this case, Lord Yu will spare no effort to help you, because if the fourth brother takes the throne, the Yu family will definitely not end up well."
Xie Qing looked at the backs of Concubine Li and the Fourth Prince in front of him, and said quietly: "A desperate dog will jump over the wall. I wonder if the Fourth Prince will do the same."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed out from the direction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The person paused, and his eyes vaguely swept over Qin Wan and Xie Qing, then quickly caught up with the Fourth Prince.
In the dim light, Qin Wan recognized that it was the Fourth Prince's Consort. "This Fourth Prince's Consort has looked at me several times tonight."
Xie Qing shook his head: "She has always been a strange person. I said that her brain seems to be similar to Lu Cainu's."
Qin Wan smiled with her eyebrows curved, "You always compare her with Lu Cainu. I think she's smarter than Lu Cainu. When something like that happened just now, everyone went there, but she stayed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Now that we're going to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, she's come out. I think, have we all underestimated her?"
"She is the Fourth Prince's consort and our rival. It is a big taboo to underestimate the opponent."
Xie Qing nodded and said, "If you're worried, I'll send someone to investigate her past. People can disguise themselves in the present, but there are always clues in the past that can be investigated."
"Okay." Qin Wan looked up at Xie Qing and smiled softly. He was always like this, making her feel at ease.
Just as Xie Qing was about to speak, he saw Lu Yan standing under a large red lantern, drinking. His brows drooped, and he immediately took Qin Wan's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it: "Are you cold?"
Qin Wan was surprised. Why did he suddenly do such intimate actions outside? But she still cooperated and said, "It's okay."
"Then you're cold." Xie Qing grabbed her other hand and put it in his arms to warm her.
