The truth was revealed by him, and Concubine Bai almost fainted. However, she stubbornly refused to admit it, "Your Highness, have you ever seen me murder Yunfu?"
"It is you, Your Highness, who are so cruel in treating my sister." Concubine Bai wanted to turn the tables and let everyone know that the prince could not even tolerate a sister who was about to get married. How could such a person be worthy of being the crown prince? She wanted to make a big deal out of this!
Situ Yao didn't take her threat seriously at all and asked lightly, "My Royal Concubine, don't forget that there is still someone who knows how you murdered Yunfu and wanted to replace the princess with someone else. If this is brought to the attention of the ministers, will they support me or ask the Emperor to punish me?"
Concubine Bai was startled, but then she felt nothing. It was normal for Situ Yao to find out that Su Mengyan was hers, but she couldn't leave this evidence in the East Palace. She had to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Threatened by Situ Yao, Concubine Bai became much more honest and tried to find a way out. "I was indeed confused about this matter. Considering that tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why not just let it go? The result will be good for both you and me."
Situ Yao had only come to warn her not to set her sights on Yun Fu in the future, and had no intention of using this incident to bring her down, so he also nodded with a fake smile, "Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right."
After Situ Yao left, the third princess woke up. Knowing that she could not escape the fate of marrying off a foreign prince, she smashed everything that could be smashed in the Luanfeng Palace.
After the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Yun Fu still did not return to the palace where she lived, but slipped away to the East Palace.
"Brother Crown Prince, does Concubine Bai want me to marry in place of my third sister?" Yun Fu also figured out what Concubine Bai was going to do, so he scolded the mother and daughter in the study.
Situ Yao waited until she finished scolding him before speaking, "The matter has been resolved. The Northern Liang delegation will leave the capital in three days. Concubine Bai dare not make any more moves."
"I'm going to find Yan'er." After Yun Fu heard what happened, he quickly ran away.
Su Mengyan had long guessed that Yun Fu would definitely come to see her, so she didn't rush to sleep, but sat there waiting for her.
Seeing her rushing in, Su Mengyan handed her a cup of tea and said, "Princess, moisten your throat first."
Yun Fu talked for a long time in Situ Yao's study, without even drinking a sip of hot tea, and ran here. His throat was indeed uncomfortable.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, she couldn't help but sigh at Su Mengyan's thoughtfulness. Then, thinking about the possibility that she might betray him, Yun Fu put the teacup down heavily and asked coldly, "What's the matter with what the Third Princess said?"
"I was indeed sent to the Eastern Palace by Concubine Bai." Su Mengyan's words made Yun Fu furious, but she stopped her anger in time, "But I have never been loyal to her."
Su Mengyan told Yun Fu again the words she had prepared earlier.
"So you and the Crown Prince knew what happened tonight, and I was the only one who was kept in the dark?" Yun Fu was happy that Su Mengyan hadn't betrayed the Eastern Palace. But she was also angry that she and Situ Yao had conspired to deceive him.
"Actually, I decided not to tell the princess in order to deceive Concubine Bai." Su Mengyan quickly explained.
Yun Fu sneered and grabbed her hand, asking, "Whose idea was this?"
"Yes, yes..." Su Mengyan hesitated. Under Yun Fu's increasingly dangerous gaze, she blurted out, "It was His Highness who asked me to keep it a secret from the princess."
Yunfu was a little afraid of Situ Yao. If he pushed the matter onto him, it should not be discovered, Su Mengyan thought with lingering fear.
Yun Fu looked at the door and smiled strangely, "Yan'er, you pushed everything onto the Crown Prince. He heard everything."
"Ah!" Su Mengyan turned around in panic and saw Situ Yao standing at the door with a dark face. She didn't know how much he had heard.
Yun Fu said with a smile, "Actually, I knew it was your idea when I talked to the Crown Prince."
"What else did the princess ask just now?" Su Mengyan asked in confusion.
"I originally wanted to scare you, but you lied to me. I didn't expect the prince to come." Yun Fu stuck out his tongue and made a face.
The two of them whispered to each other without paying attention to others, which made Situ Yao smile. He walked behind Su Mengyan and said, "I didn't expect Yan'er to frame me behind my back."
Su Mengyan was uneasy at the emotionless words. She wanted to slap herself hard. Why hadn't she resisted Yun Fu's threats and offended her golden thigh?
She turned around to explain, but Situ Yao suddenly bent down, and the corner of his lips accidentally brushed against hers, leaving a faint warmth.
Su Mengyan's face turned red instantly, just like the sunset on the horizon.
Situ Yao was also stunned, but he was much calmer than Su Mengyan, and the smile in his eyes became more and more intense.
Yun Fu stood by and watched their show, wondering when she could make Su Mengyan her sister-in-law.
When Situ Yao came to his senses, he saw his sister staring at them with a strange smile. He frowned slightly, "It's so late, why are you still here?"
"Brother Prince, I am your sister. How can you value beauty over me?" Yun Fu shouted exaggeratedly.
After her interruption, Su Mengyan's expression cooled down considerably. She said with a hint of meaning, "Didn't the princess just say that she had something else to say to me?"
She didn't want to be alone with Situ Yao, so she wanted to keep Yun Fu, so she kept giving her eye hints.
Yun Fu was about to say something when she saw the smile in Situ Yao's eyes gradually fade. She said very tactfully, "Let's talk about it another day. I'm a little tired today." She pretended to yawn, tears came out, and she looked extremely tired.
"Since you are tired, go back and rest early, don't run around." Situ Yao said in a gentle voice.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Yun Fu ran away like a gust of wind. After a while, he quietly showed his head again. Before Situ Yao got angry, he quickly explained, "I'm here to help the prince close the door."
Now everyone had really left, and everything was silent. Su Mengyan could only hear Situ Yao's steady breathing. Thinking of the accidental kiss just now, she didn't dare to look back.
Not long after, Situ Yao's chuckle was heard. "Yan'er was quite bold when she framed me just now. Why is she silent now?"
The hot air sprayed on Su Mengyan's ears, causing her to tilt her head unconsciously.
Situ Yao noticed that she was blushing again, so he finally stopped teasing her and walked over to sit in front of her.
"Your Highness, I didn't mean to tell the princess that it was your idea." Su Mengyan's face still had a faint blush, and her eyes were looking elsewhere while she was explaining.
