Feicui moved quickly and there were only two people guarding the door, and they were quickly knocked unconscious and dragged in by Feicui.
Fortunately, the prince brought with him eunuchs who served him closely, not formal guards, so it was easier to get the jade.
Afterwards, Feicui and Su Qingyu worked together to push the unconscious Song Wanwan out through the back window. Fortunately, Feicui acted in time, and the Crown Prince only untied her belt and did nothing else.
Su Qingyu was completely relieved when she saw Song Wanwan, whose clothes were still neat.
She tried to wake Song Wanwan, but after calling her for a long time, she showed no signs of waking up. Su Qingyu didn't care about that anymore and decided to take the person out of Fengxian Hall first.
She and Feicui held Song Wanwan's arms and let Song Wanwan's head rest on Feicui's shoulders.
On the way out, Su Qingyu thanked the Crown Prince in her heart. If he hadn't dispatched the guards, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to get out smoothly.
Soon the three of them reached the back of the main hall. Because there were usually many palace servants cleaning the main hall, Su Qingyu was afraid of being discovered, so she walked very carefully.
Just as he was about to leave the main hall, he suddenly heard a shout, "Who are you?"
Then, a window broke open and a figure jumped out.
Feicui was shocked and attacked the man. No matter who it was, she would knock him out first.
So Feicui acted very quickly and hit the man on the back of the neck.
Just as a palm was about to strike, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.
The moment Jadeite was caught, he kicked. The man dodged and shouted, "Jadeite, it's me."
Only then did Feicui see clearly that the person who came out was Wenzhu.
Wenzhu knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, Madam. Why are you here?"
Su Qingyu felt a little relieved when she saw Wenzhu. If Wenzhu was there, then the Third Master should be there too, and many things would be much easier.
"Where is the Third Master?" Su Qingyu asked.
Wen Zhu glanced towards the side room of the main hall and said, "The Third Master has just finished writing the eulogy and is about to go to the front to greet the Emperor."
Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Please ask the Third Master to come over. I have something to tell you."
Wenzhu nodded in agreement and climbed in through the window again.
When he returned to Shen Zhixiu's side, Shen Zhixiu was examining the memorial on the table. He read it again and put it away when he felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Just as Wenzhu was about to speak, a young eunuch came in and said respectfully.
"Master Shen, Madam Shen is here and is waiting for you in the front room. She said she has something to say."
"Mrs. Shen said that it is not convenient for her to enter the main hall of Fengxian Palace. Please go over there."
As he spoke, the young eunuch took out a bracelet and placed it on his hand, "This is a gift from Madam Shen to me. She said you will know it once you see it."
Shen Zhixiu took a look and indeed saw Su Qingyu wearing it. It seemed to be her dowry jewelry. The bracelet had an unusual ruby shape, so he remembered it clearly.
But before Shen Zhixiu could say anything, Wen Zhu spoke first.
"You go first. Our Third Master's clothes have just been torn. He needs to take care of it before he can go out and see people."
"Where is the lady? Tell us in detail and we can find her."
The young eunuch looked down and saw that the corner of Shen Zhixiu's clothes was indeed scratched a little, so he did not suspect anything.
"It's in the second room from the right in the east wing. Madam Shen is drinking tea there. Madam Shen said that only the Third Master is allowed in."
Wenzhu nodded and personally escorted the man out of the side room of the main hall.
Shen Zhixiu looked at Wen Zhu and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Wenzhu was a man of great discretion. He would not say a single word when it was not his place to interrupt or make decisions. He had heard some noise when Wenzhu broke out of the window just now, and guessed something must have happened.
Wen Zhu reported in a low voice, "Third Master, the Madam is in the back and wants to see you. She and Feicui are supporting the eldest daughter of the Song family, and she seems to be still unconscious."
Shen Zhixiu frowned. It seemed like a lot of things happened while he was writing the eulogy.
And since Su Qingyu was behind him, why did the person just now come to invite him in Su Qingyu's name? He also took Su Qingyu's bracelet, which clearly showed that he came prepared.
But he didn't have time to think about it at this moment, he had to go see Su Qingyu first.
Outside the back window of the main hall, Su Qingyu saw Shen Zhixiu coming and hurried forward to quickly tell him what had happened.
When Shen Zhixiu heard that the prince was planning to marry into the Shen family, his brows furrowed even more.
He snorted, "There are so many ways to marry Song Wanwan, but he came up with the stupidest one."
Shen Zhixiu felt sorry for his teacher, Chen Zheng, who had once been a renowned figure in the Jiangnan region, having been chosen by the late emperor as the top three scholar in the imperial examination. He was not even twenty years old at the time.
After the previous emperor passed away, the current emperor ascended the throne. From the moment the Crown Prince entered the Eastern Palace, Chen Zheng became his Junior Tutor. From managing people's livelihoods and the economy to employing and defending against them, and even the art of war, Chen Zheng taught the Crown Prince everything he knew.
After more than ten years of teaching, the prince still resorted to such despicable means to arrange his marriage. Shen Zhixiu shook his head inwardly, thinking that this was a hopeless case.
But it was this pile of mud that took the title of eldest son and became the crown prince.
Seeing that Shen Zhixiu didn't know what he was thinking, Wen Zhu told Su Qingyu what had just happened. She said that the Third Master was almost deceived and she didn't know who did this and what they wanted.
Su Qingyu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said to Wen Zhu, "You're fast, go and see what's going on quietly, and come back to tell us."
Wen Zhu turned and left, while Su Qingyu said to Shen Zhixiu, "I'll take Miss Song to find a place to rest later. We'll clear her out of the matter of Fengxian Palace today."
"The Crown Prince probably has a lot of grievances to deal with. Even if he were to investigate and guess that it was me, he probably wouldn't dare to confront me directly."
"But I'm afraid of the rift between him and you..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixiu raised his hand to stop her from saying anything else, "Don't worry, Madam. I can handle this."
The prince's plan failed, so of course he didn't dare to speak out. He was lucky enough that the Song family didn't cause trouble for him, so how could he dare to cause trouble for others?
When Song Zan finds out the truth about what happened today, it will be enough to make the Crown Prince suffer.
Not long after, Wen Zhu hurried back and whispered, "Master San, Madam, in that wing are the two Saint Ladies of Xiyue."
"In my opinion, these two people seem to have been infected. If we don't find a solution, they will be in danger."
Everyone understood what Wenzhu meant by finding a solution.
When Su Qingyu heard that it was the Saint of Xiyue, the last words Li Chaoyun said to the emperor emerged in her mind again. She said that she wanted to ask the Saint of Xiyue about music.
And that bracelet, she had indeed lost it a few days ago. The only person in the palace who wanted to deal with her and had a chance to pick up the bracelet was Li Chaoyun.
Su Qingyu suddenly had an idea and began to give instructions to Wenzhu.
"If you send the prince to the Saintess of Xiyue's house, we can save two lives."
