Chapter 1180: Human Hearts Cannot Be Controlled

He lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear him.

"In reply to the princess, please forgive me. After leaving the palace today, I always felt that something was wrong, so I ordered the secret guards around me to investigate what happened to your majesty during this period."

"I heard that Your Majesty has been visiting Yanhua Palace more frequently recently, so I became suspicious and wanted to take a look to see if I could find out something."

You must know that in the past, Your Majesty was the person who least believed in ghosts and gods.

Even if I came to Yanhua Palace, it was only for the Empress Dowager's sake.

Therefore, it was really abnormal for the Emperor of Great Chu to suddenly appear in Yanhua Palace so frequently.

Lu Xingwan nodded slightly, without revealing too much emotion in his expression.

She also did not explain to Pei Chuyan why she came to Yanhua Palace today.

My father has indeed been acting a bit abnormal these days.

He came to Yanhua Palace more frequently, and saw Concubine Ying and Ying Changzai more frequently as well.

For a moment, Pei Chuyan and Lu Xingwan looked at each other in silence, each of them secretly guessing something in their hearts.

Pei Chuyan had just seen the box in Princess Yong'an's hand. He knew that the princess must have discovered something in the Yanhua Palace.

Looking at the princess's cautious look just now, Pei Chuyan could guess that this matter was most likely related to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Outside the Yanhua Palace, Lu Xingwan bit her lower lip lightly and weighed the matter for a long time before she raised her eyes and looked at Pei Chuyan in front of her. She decided not to hide it anymore.

No matter in the past or now, Pei Chuyan is someone she can trust.

"I found some elixirs in Yanhua Palace. The origin of those elixirs is strange."

Lu Xingwan frowned slightly. After all, this elixir was something from the world of immortal cultivation, and she really didn't want to explain it too clearly to Pei Chuyan.

So she sighed slightly and vaguely passed over the matter.

"I'm afraid that Father has been affected by this elixir, which is why he has such inexplicable suspicion towards the Crown Prince."

Pei Chuyan always believed everything Lu Xingwan said.

Although Lu Xingwan's words made him confused, Pei Chuyan just listened quietly.

He captured the key information in Lu Xingwan's words and could barely understand the general idea.

Seeing that Lu Xingwan seemed to be a little embarrassed, he stopped asking and looked at Lu Xingwan with a gentle gaze: "What are your plans next, Princess?"

Lu Xingwan let out a long sigh and looked up at the bright moon again.

After a moment, she came back to her senses and looked at Pei Chuyan in front of her with a serious expression: "Duke Anguo, go help my second brother!"

Although Lu Xingwan has not seen Prince Yu since they separated from Qingyun Palace today, she understands his temper.

The second elder brother is a man of strategy, propriety and patience.

But the most important thing now is his respect for his brother the Crown Prince.

Given his current admiration for the Crown Prince, he probably won't stand idly by.

She could even imagine that if her father really insisted on taking action against the Crown Prince, given her second brother's temper, he might really raise an army to rescue the Crown Prince regardless of the consequences.

It was as if everything had really returned to what happened in the storybook before she entered it.

Lu Xingwan knew that he could control these people with his spiritual power.

But I can control it for a while, but I can't control it for a lifetime.

The human heart is ultimately uncontrollable.

So the most important thing now is that she has to solve the source of the problem.

When she put the elixir back just now, she had already replaced those elixirs secretly.

The most important thing now is that she has to find the person behind this.

She had to sort this out before the situation got out of control.

After hearing what Lu Xingwan said, Pei Chuyan was a little confused for a moment.

Before he could sort out his thoughts, Lu Xingwan suddenly took a step forward, tightly grasped his arm, with a hint of pity in her voice.

Although her voice was not loud, Pei Chuyan could see that she was serious.

"Duke Anguo, if the time comes, we may need the power of Dali Kingdom."

Lu Xingwan said it so clearly, how could Pei Chuyan not know it?

Without time to think, he seemed to be afraid that the princess would be affected, so he instinctively held the princess' wrist and spoke in a firm but low voice: "Princess, don't worry, I will stand with His Royal Highness Prince Yu to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The two looked at each other and clearly saw the determination in each other's eyes.

After a brief confrontation, Lu Xingwan turned around hurriedly and headed straight towards Ruisi Palace.

She still focused her attention on Concubine Ying.

She suddenly remembered one thing: the former Concubine Ying was not like this.

She had met Concubine Ying in Qingyun Palace before.

At that time, Concubine Ying was still a noble lady, but she had a domineering personality.

But these few times he met her, she was exceptionally warm, so Lu Xingwan really began to doubt her.

Full of doubts, Lu Xingwan hurried towards Ruisi Palace.

As soon as she entered Ruisi Palace, she went straight to the main hall where Concubine Ying was.

It's strange to say.

It was during this period that Concubine Ying was indeed favored by her father.

But within this short period of time, she rose rapidly all the way, from being a noble lady of Ying to being a concubine of Ying.

This speed of advancement is really something that can't help but attract attention.

However, Yingchang seemed to be particularly favored by his father during this period.

She was often summoned to sleep with him.

But this Ying is always there, but it is always just a constant.

It seems that the emperor has no intention of promoting her.

Lu Xingwan originally thought that in this mortal palace, anyone who was favored by his father would be promoted.

But now, she really couldn't figure it out.

Out of caution, Lu Xingwan had already restrained his aura and concealed himself when he went to Ruisi Palace this time.

So now, even if she strode forward in the courtyard of Ruisi Palace, no one could detect her presence.

She had originally headed straight for the main hall where Concubine Ying was, but when she arrived at the courtyard, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of the side hall where Concubine Ying was.

Lu Xingwan felt that he was quite amazing.

Even though it was night and there were no lights on in Ying Changzai's palace, Lu Xingwan noticed that there was someone in Ying Changzai's palace.

But this unintentional glance made Lu Xingwan freeze in place instantly.

Today, Ying Changzai was not the only one in her room.

She actually vaguely saw the figure of a man.

The man was tall and thin, and looked like a young man, not my father.

Lu Xingwan was stunned.

At this moment, her mind was in a mess.

Ying Changzai was actually having a secret meeting with someone.
