"Okay." Bei Yutang did not refuse.
The maid left the palace and carefully closed the door. The entire palace was airtight, and the scent of rosemary grew stronger. The maid, who had been guarding outside, soon heard a faint sound of footsteps.
"How is it?" It was a cold male voice.
When Bei Yutang heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"She's already inside. She should be unconscious by now."
"Yes." Yan Qing responded coldly, "Give this thing to King Xiaoyao and tell him that an old friend is waiting for her here."
"Okay." The little palace maid took the things and left in a hurry.
When Yan Qing pushed open the door of the palace, he saw Bei Yutang lying motionless on the bed.
Yan Qing looked at her with cold eyes, "Don't blame us, we had no choice. Don't worry, when you get out of here, we will treat the Bei family well, as a reward for your sacrifice this time."
After Yan Qing finished speaking, he turned and left.
Suddenly, he felt a strong wind coming from behind him. He tilted his head but still couldn't avoid it. When he turned his head, a dark shadow appeared in front of him.
With a "thump", Yan Qing fell to the ground.
Bei Yutang took out a little powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it into the incense burner. The rich rosemary scent covered up the faint strange fragrance.
After Bei Yutang went out, a young eunuch suddenly knelt in front of Bei Yutang.
"My lady, this servant has come here specifically on the orders of the eldest master to await your instructions."
When her brother first learned of her plan, he told her that someone in the palace would help her, and presumably it was this person. Her brother, a mere Hanlin Academy editor, must have had a lot of trouble inserting one or two pawns into the palace.
If the Bei family had not had no one to rely on, my brother would have been promoted long ago with his talent.
"Do you have any proof?" Bei Yutang asked cautiously.
The young eunuch took out a token from his pocket. Bei Yutang looked at the jade pendant and said to him, "Now, help me do two things."
"We found the maid who had left earlier and dealt with her, and..."
After a while, the young eunuch left quickly.
Bei Yutang closed the palace door.
On the other side, Yuwen Changyun, who was waiting for the result at the banquet, seemed to be chatting happily with others, but his eyes looked outside from time to time.
Why hasn’t Yan Qing come back yet?
As soon as he comes back, things will start to work for him.
At this moment, a young palace maid came to Yan Qing's side, holding a wine glass, and whispered, "Prince Jing, someone asked me to give this to you. That young master asks you to come over quickly."
When Yuwen Changyun saw the jade pendant, his pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is he?"
The little maid seemed frightened by his appearance, her body trembling slightly, "In, in the side hall."
"Take me there."
"Yes."
Yuwen Changyun stood up, and Lord Wang, the cabinet minister beside him, asked, "Where is Prince Jing going?"
"My wife hasn't been back for a long time. I'll go and see her." Yuwen Changyun replied with a smile.
The cabinet minister laughed heartily, "Prince Jing is truly inseparable from his princess. Even after such a short separation, he's already thinking about her so much."
Yuwen Changyun just smiled and said nothing.
Yuwen Changyun followed the little palace maid out of the hall. When they reached an uninhabited area, he suddenly grabbed the little palace maid's neck. The little palace maid looked at him in surprise, with a sinister face reflected in her eyes.
"Tell me, who sent you?" Yuwen Changyun asked sternly.
