Prince Yueqing returned to the palace holding a pot of flowers and threw the flowers to his subordinates as soon as he entered the door.
The subordinate quickly caught the flower, and from the look on Prince Yueqing's face he knew things were not going well.
But now he knows one thing, and if he tells the prince, the prince will be even angrier.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Prince Yueqing lifted his skirt and sat on the chair, saying concisely, "Speak."
"I discovered today that Qi An had left the Dali Temple a few days ago. I wanted to take action, but the Emperor sent someone to protect him."
He really couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking. It would have been fine if he just released Qi An, but why did he also arrange for people to protect Qi An?
Upon hearing this, Yue Qing thought for a long time before remembering who Qi An was.
He was wearing a mask when he went to see Qi An that day, so Qi An might not recognize him. There was no need for him to take the risk of killing Qi An, which would only arouse his brother's suspicion.
"Don't worry about this person. Have someone keep an eye on Zhu Li. If he tries to pass anything to the emperor, find a way to intercept him."
He just didn't believe that his royal brother was so idle that he could send someone to protect Zhu Li.
Zhu Li is a smart man and should not be stupid enough to tell his royal brother about his visit to the Zhu Mansion.
After explaining the matter, Prince Yueqing got up and went to Shen Yu's yard.
Although Shen Yu was not killed by him, the situation was not much better.
She was locked in the house and not allowed to go out. She could only eat one meal a day. In just a few days, she lost a lot of weight.
“Squeak—”
Shen Yu sat on the ground in a daze. When she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she slowly turned around. Seeing that it was Prince Yueqing, she looked away without saying a word.
"Get up," Prince Yueqing said in a commanding tone, "Tomorrow we have to attend the flower viewing banquet hosted by Madam Yao. Are you trying to bring shame to the palace by looking like this?"
I don't know if Mrs. Yao is too old and her brain is not working well, so she actually invited Shen Yu to appreciate the flowers.
"Your Majesty, are you threatening me?" Shen Yu spoke slowly like a puppet, without any emotion in his tone.
She clearly understood that the Prince of Yueqing had spared her life temporarily because of Madam Yao, but for her now, what difference did it make whether she lived one day more or one day less?
"Are you qualified to threaten you?" Prince Yueqing leaned over and pinched her chin, but without using much force.
After all, leaving traces will definitely arouse suspicion.
Shen Yu slapped his hand away and said indifferently: "You can kill me now."
Before, she had thought about taking Du Shuyan's mother's dowry and leaving the capital. Now she thought her idea was too naive. How could she possibly get out when Prince Yueqing was holding her captive like this?
"This king doesn't want you to die now, you'd better live well."
After saying this, Prince Yueqing had the food brought in.
Shen Yu stood up and looked at the food and couldn't help but screaming.
She sat down at the table, grabbed her chopsticks, and began to wolf down her meal.
"Your Majesty, Miss Du is here."
Shen Yu's hand paused. Is it Du Shuyan?
Prince Yueqing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked someone to bring Du Shuyan in.
Du Shuyan came with Yang Wen.
"My Lord, Miss Du has something to ask Shen Yu, so I brought her here specially."
"You're welcome, Lord Yang," Prince Yueqing smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and left Shen Yu's room with Yang Wen.
Du Shuyan went to close the door and sat opposite Shen Yu.
"It seems like you're not doing well in the palace. Where's your arrogance in the Shen Mansion?"
Shen Yu put down her chopsticks, raised her eyelids and looked at Du Shuyan, who was bright-looking and looking at her with a smile.
"Are you here to see the joke?"
In the past, she often caused trouble for Du Shuyan, so she was not surprised that Du Shuyan came to see her and laughed at her.
"No," Du Shuyan looked around the room and stood up, "I'm more interested in Prince Yueqing than in seeing you make a fool of yourself."
Afraid that Shen Yu would misunderstand his meaning, Du Shuyan continued: "You can also say that you are interested in what King Yueqing did. You are a person with a strong sense of revenge. King Yueqing treated you like this, don't you want to fight back?"
In fact, seeing Shen Yu's lifeless appearance, Du Shuyan was a little disappointed.
In her impression, Shen Yu was the kind of person who would bite back twice if someone bit her, but now Shen Yu was obviously waiting to die.
"So you're here to persuade me to help you get rid of Prince Yueqing?"
Shen Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, "I won't agree. Besides, wouldn't you be happier if I died?"
In fact, she had thought about dealing with King Yueqing, but now she could not move an inch and could not even protect herself, let alone deal with King Yueqing.
"No, you will agree," Du Shuyan said firmly, "I hope you die, but sometimes death is a relief. Otherwise, why didn't your mother just kill me?"
Since Shen Yu is now in the palace, she must of course make good use of Shen Yu to collect evidence of Yueqing Wang's rebelliousness and get rid of the hidden danger of Yueqing Wang.
"Why do you think I would agree?" Shen Yu's emotions finally fluctuated. "Don't forget our relationship."
The two of them could be said to dislike each other. She couldn't understand why Du Shuyan thought she could help her.
"It seems that you don't just want to wait for death," Du Shuyan chuckled. "Our mutual dislike does not affect your ability to deal with King Yueqing. I know you want to kill King Yueqing, but you don't have the ability, so you choose to accept your fate."
Shen Yu remained silent. She really wanted to kill King Yueqing.
Seeing Shen Yu moved, Du Shuyan poured her a cup of tea and told her what she was worried about.
"You think you won't live long enough to become like this, right? What if I can help you live longer and avenge King Yueqing?"
Shen Yu raised his head suddenly, and there was more hope in his dead eyes.
"You didn't lie to me?"
She thought about it for a long time and realized that she was facing a dead end that could not be solved at all.
If Du Shuyan could really help her break the deadlock, she would try every means to take revenge on King Yueqing and would not let him live so comfortably.
"Do you have anything worth deceiving me now?"
Du Shuyan stood up and said this.
"Think about it and give me your answer at Madam Yao's flower viewing banquet. Of course, this is also your last chance."
She walked to the door, but stopped when she thought of her mother's dowry.
"By the way, you should know where my mother's dowry is."
Shen Yu nodded. "There is a warehouse in my mother's yard. The key to the warehouse is under her bed. I don't know if it's all there."
Because she didn't have time to ask Du Lin.
…
The next day.
Many young ladies and ladies in the capital went to Yao's house to attend the flower-viewing banquet.
Yu Yiluo was originally in the palace, and she became excited when she heard that the Yao family was holding a banquet.
The emperor thought that since she had recovered from her illness, it would be good for her to go out and get some fresh air, so he ordered the fifth princess to take her with him.
In fact, it was because the banquet was attended by only female relatives, and it was inappropriate for him, the emperor, to go alone. Otherwise, he would have wanted to take Luo'er with him, since there was nothing to deal with anyway.
When the fifth princess was summoned to the palace and heard about this, she thought she had misheard.
The emperor's darling little sister is as precious as his own eye, and he actually lets her take him out to play?
