All the documents related to the state banquet were sent to Chu Younan, so he did not stay for long and went back early.

After he left, Wen Xia Shenmi said to Su Bei in a mysterious voice, "Just now I went to the embroiderers to get clothes, and they told me that the Peony Pavilion has been locked up again, and this time the maids and servants can't come out!"

"Ah?!" Su Bei was suddenly shocked.

A while ago, Chu Younan was very passionate about Mo Qingying. He had dinner with her every day and they just consummated their marriage. What happened now?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Wen Xia say again: "I heard that only the maids and servants brought by the princess and Hefeng Cuiliu were left, and the daily meals were very simple. I don't know what's going on."

Bao Qiu saw Yun Xi and Yun Rou were both far away, and whispered: "The prince has always been tolerant, I think the princess must have done something wrong."

But Su Bei was not concerned about this. She was concerned about two other things.

First of all, now that things have turned out this way, how can she get her bond back?

Second, the food is simple and Ah Xi might starve.

She knew very well that poor Ah Xi had the lowest status in that courtyard. When something like this happened, it must be that the master would give the leftovers to the servants, and only after the maids and old women had finished eating would it be Ah Xi's turn to eat.

At that moment, she stood up and said, "Quickly bring me some food and two thick clothes!"

When Xia Baoqiu asked her, she didn't know what she was going to do, so she went to the kitchen to get some snacks and packed two thick cotton coats for her.

Su Bei glanced at Yun Rou and Yun Xi and said, "You don't have to follow me. I'll be back soon."

The night wind was cold. Su Bei carried her things and went to the Peony Pavilion. She did not go through the main entrance, but went to the back, found a high place, moved a stone to step on, and jumped onto the top of the wall.

Asi lives in the small house in front.

She leaned on the wall and whispered, "Asi! Asi!"

When she came here, the first person who treated her well was A'xi, and the person she cared about most in this yard was also A'xi.

The door creaked, and Ah Xi poked her head out, and saw a head sticking out from the wall. She was startled at first, and then after seeing clearly, she asked in surprise: "Abei! Why are you here?"

Su Bei didn't say much. He jumped down and threw the clothes in. He then handed the basket down from the top of the wall and then climbed over the wall to get in.

Looking at Ah Xi wolfing down the snacks, Su Bei knew that he had guessed right.

"Luckily you went out!" Ah Xi said as he chewed. "The food they sent wasn't much. By the time it got to me, it was almost gone. I didn't eat much the whole day."

She ate too fast and choked. Su Bei helped her calm down and asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know." Ah Xi looked at her seriously, "But I guess it might be related to the Hefeng Cuiliu."

Then, she lowered her voice, "I went to the main house several times at night and heard laughter and strange noises coming from the princess' room. I always felt that something was not right with Hefeng Cuiliu..."

Su Bei didn't say anything.

This is most likely the reason why Mo Qingying was locked up again. According to the rules of this era, Chu Younan was very generous to her.

Can……

The Gentle Breeze and Green Willow was given to Mo Qingying by Chu Younan. Could it be...

A terrible thought spread in Su Bei's mind.

She hurriedly said, "Take it back and eat it. I'll bring it back to you tomorrow."

Finally, there is one more sentence: "If I can come tomorrow."

But this sentence is barely audible.

Then she climbed over the wall and headed straight for Lingfeng Pavilion. The gate was locked.

Su Bei climbed over the wall again. Before she landed, she saw several black shadows running towards her with swords drawn. When they got close, the leader whispered, "Miss Ah Bei, why is it you?"

Su Bei brushed the dust off his hands nonchalantly, "I came to see the prince. The door is locked and I don't want to knock on the door."

The black shadows retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

Su Bei walked into Lingfeng Pavilion under the moonlight and pushed open Chu Younan's door.

He looked up from the documents, a smile in the corner of his eyes, "Why are you here so late at night?"

Su Bei said nothing, and walked directly to the opposite side of his desk. He leaned forward slightly with his hands on the desk and met his eyes. "Did you do this on purpose?"

Chu Younan was silent for a moment, and learned her purpose from her thoughts. He looked away and looked at the flickering candlelight, "Don't meddle in her affairs, and rest early."

Su Bei was silent for a moment, then said, "Human nature is not worth testing. Your love is abnormal! If you love her, you should treat her well!"

Chu Younan was startled, then raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Here is what you want."

He took a brocade box from the table, opened it, waved it in front of her, and then brought it close to the lit candle.

The piece of paper carrying Su Bei's fate slowly began to burn, then became more and more intense, and then it fell to the ground, turning into a ray of fire and a cluster of ash.

"You are no longer a slave, you are free." Chu Younan looked at her from afar.

She was as fair and clean as when they first met, and her eyes were clear. She stared at the handful of paper ash, then looked at him seriously and said, "Even if I am free, what you are doing is wrong!"

This style of painting is not right!

Shouldn't she be excited and beaming, running towards the door, packing up her things and leaving?

Chu Younan felt a little secretly happy, but also a little helpless, "You don't know about my relationship with her."

"How could I not know? I have been here since the wedding. Although she did some wrong things, you can divorce her and let her find someone worthy of love, and then..."

Before Su Bei finished speaking, Chu Younan interrupted her, "You don't need to interfere in what happens between us, Ah Bei, you are free!"

"Good! Good!" Su Bei gave him a deep look, "You are really good at scheming against women!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Chu Younan said in a deep voice: "Ling Xiao!"

The window clicked and Ling Xiao came in. "My Lord, what do you want me to do?"

Chu Younan looked at the door with deep eyes, "Tell Ah Bei about Ling Ziyu's stay in the mansion!"

Yes, how could he let go of the girl he liked so easily? Even though the contract was burned, he still had countless ways to keep her.

He hoped that Abei stayed not because of Ling Ziyou, but because of himself.

——

The moonlight shone on the path. Su Bei jumped up angrily and grabbed a branch, which broke into several pieces with a snap.

She didn't know why she spoke for Mo Qingying, nor did she know why she was so angry. She just guessed that Chu Younan deliberately let He Feng Cuiliu get close to Mo Qingying, and she thought he was bullying women.

Footsteps sounded behind him, accompanied by Ling Xiao's voice: "Miss Abei is in a bad mood. A master who makes monkeys has come to the mansion. I heard that he is the best craftsman in Beijing. Do you want to go and see him?"
