On this side, a young eunuch hurried back to the banquet. While the wine was being poured, he leaned over and whispered a few words into Concubine Xie's ear.
There was a gleam in Concubine Xie's eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.
She glanced at the empty seat casually, and a plan came to her mind.
"Your Majesty!" Imperial Concubine Xie spoke softly, "Sister Jiang has been away for such a long time and hasn't come back yet. I am a little worried. Why don't we send someone to check on her?"
Emperor Chu frowned and glanced solemnly across the hall.
Judging from the time, the two should still be talking at this time.
Chu Qingluan had already informed the Emperor of Chu about arranging a private meeting between Concubine Jiang and Amur for a quarter of an hour, and had also obtained his permission.
At this time, the King of Chu naturally did not want Concubine Xie to disturb him. If she saw something she shouldn't see, it would cause trouble later.
"It's okay. I'll have someone pay attention. You just sit down."
Noble Concubine Xie wanted to say something else, but at this moment, Chu Lang suddenly stood up, his face slightly red, and he saluted and said, "Father, I am drunk and need to sober up."
Emperor Chu said "hmm" faintly, and Chu Lang left the hall.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Xie gave a subtle wink to the palace maid beside her, and soon the palace maid also left the hall.
And so, nearly another quarter of an hour passed.
Concubine Xie saw that Concubine Jiang had not returned yet, and the eunuch who had brought the news earlier had appeared at the door of the side hall and made a gesture to her.
Concubine Xie understood that the matter had already been done, and she just had to bring people there to catch the couple in bed!
Concubine Xie couldn't contain her excitement, and a look of concern appeared on her face.
"Your Majesty, I am still worried about Concubine Jiang. Why don't I go and see her myself?"
Emperor Chu glanced at her with a half-smile, but in the end he said nothing more and just waved at her.
Concubine Xie was delighted and quickly left the table with a few trusted palace maids.
…
Meanwhile, the Lookout.
Amur is still confronting Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Jiang's back was against the cold pillar. Amur's breathing was close at hand, his voice filled with suppressed anger and pain.
"Alia, how long are you going to lie to me?"
Jiang Bin's fingertips dug deep into her palm, and the pain made it difficult for her to stay awake.
"Your Majesty, let the past be the past."
Amur suddenly grabbed her shoulders with surprising strength.
"The first time I saw him, I had a strange feeling, like..."
He paused, then continued, "It's as if something is pulling at my heart. Alia, are you willing to swear to the Wolf God that you must be lying to me, right?"
"He is the child you and I have, right?"
Concubine Jiang trembled all over and her eyes turned red in an instant.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out for a long time.
The people of the grassland believe in the Gray Wolf God and will not swear an oath easily.
At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the distance, accompanied by torches and light.
"Hurry! It's just ahead!"
"The Imperial Concubine said that we must catch them red-handed this time!"
Concubine Jiang's expression suddenly changed, and she pushed Amur away fiercely: "Someone is coming, leave quickly!"
Amur stood there, refusing to move. Instead, he grabbed Concubine Jiang's wrist and whispered, "Follow me, now!"
Concubine Jiang shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with pleading: "No! I can't let you and Hong'er get involved!"
Seeing the footsteps getting closer, Amur showed no intention of leaving.
Concubine Jiang gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and immediately pulled out the hairpin on her head and pressed it against her neck.
"Amur! If you don't want to see my dead body, leave now, immediately!"
Her eyes were full of determination, and Amur was stunned by this sudden action.
"Alia!"
"puff!"
The hairpin sank a little deeper, and blood had already seeped out of her fair neck, which looked particularly terrifying in the moonlight.
Amur struggled inwardly, but ultimately gave in. He gritted his teeth, let go of her hand, looked at her deeply, and turned back into the shadows.
Concubine Jiang quickly straightened her clothes and covered the injured area with her collar, standing there with forced composure.
On the other side, Concubine Xie led her men and stormed into the warm room at the end of the secret passage, violently pushing open the door...
"Jiangpin! You are so bold! How dare you secretly meet a man outside of yours? What... crime should you be punished for..."
Concubine Xie's voice suddenly stopped.
In the warm room, Chu Lang was hugging a singer in disheveled clothes and rolled off the couch in panic.
The singer on the couch screamed, quickly grabbed the quilt to cover her body, and shrank back.
After seeing the situation in front of him clearly, Chu Lang's face turned pale and he put on his clothes in a panic.
"Mother, Mother?! Why are you here?"
Concubine Xie was suddenly struck by lightning and froze in place.
The palace maids and eunuchs behind her were even more stunned and dared not even breathe.
"Lang'er, you..."
Concubine Xie pointed at Chu Lang, her voice trembling: "Aren't you going to catch..."
She suddenly reacted and swallowed the second half of her words, her face turning pale for a moment.
Chu Lang quickly put on his clothes and stammered, "Mother, please listen to my explanation. It was, it was this singer who volunteered..."
“Bang!”
Before she finished her words, Concubine Xie raised her hand and slapped Chu Lang in the face.
"idiot!"
Concubine Xie’s eyes went dark and she almost fell to the ground.
Tonight is such an important occasion, but Chu Lang is having an affair with a singer in the palace. What will happen if this gets out?
