After Yu Shuang returned, she deliberately made a little noise.
They staged a scene involving the abduction of people.
The imperial guards lurking in the shadows were startled.
There's an assassin!?
The palace has been placed on high alert.
Almost all the experts were mobilized, but in a short while, that person easily escaped.
The palace descended into chaos.
The assassins entered and exited the palace as if it were empty; this was a slap in the face to the royal family.
Emperor An was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Let's see which palace has lost something.
The Eastern Palace.
"A huge, huge, huge thing has happened! His Highness the Crown Prince has gone missing—!"
The imperial guards roughly concluded that His Highness the Crown Prince had been kidnapped by thieves.
According to reports from eunuchs and palace maids, His Highness the Crown Prince went to the concubine's room at night and returned to his study shortly afterward.
Later, it disappeared from the study.
Yu Shuang was summoned to the Emperor's presence and insisted that His Highness the Crown Prince had spoken to her in her room for a while before leaving.
She thought she had gone to the Crown Princess's room.
Li Yao, standing to the side, also looked surprised. A moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold. That bastard doesn't touch any girls. Is he impotent?
Since Yu Shuang had no motive or suspicion for the crime, and it was already confirmed that His Highness the Crown Prince had been kidnapped by assassins, Emperor An asked her a couple of perfunctory questions and then left it at that.
He ordered that they dig three feet into the ground to find the prince.
Otherwise, everyone will be executed!
After the event ended, the sky began to lighten.
There has finally been news about the missing Crown Prince.
He was found unconscious in a dilapidated alley, his clothes disheveled, and with several indescribable marks on his body.
Anyone with eyes can see what our Crown Prince has been through.
After being treated by the imperial physician, His Highness the Crown Prince was found to have suffered a severe head injury. He was also extremely frightened and subjected to excessive demands, which greatly depleted his vital energy, causing him to fall into a coma.
Whether he can wake up or not depends on fate.
The emperor was furious and threw a huge tantrum, ordering those in the know to keep quiet and to conduct a secret investigation!
We must find the culprit and tear him to pieces to vent our hatred!
The crown prince of a country was kidnapped by thieves on his wedding night, and such a sordid thing happened.
What a disgrace!
The Eastern Palace received news that the Crown Prince had been found, but all they knew was that he had been injured by thieves and was unconscious, and was temporarily recuperating in the Emperor's palace.
The Emperor issued an order forbidding anyone from visiting.
Yu Shuang was happy to have some free time.
Her personal maidservant subtly reminded her to pay her respects to the Crown Princess, but Yu Shuang ignored her.
The young maidservant kept quiet, for as a servant, she naturally could not influence her master's decisions.
On the other side, Li Yao's personal maid was so angry that her face turned green.
This is outrageous!
As a concubine, she didn't even come to pay her respects to her master; she simply didn't respect the Crown Princess.
She strongly urged the Crown Princess to teach the concubine a lesson, otherwise the Crown Princess would lose face.
Li Yao was new to the place and influenced by the idea of equality for all, so she didn't think it was something to be angry about.
I think the little girl is making a fuss over nothing.
She didn't want to get involved in any palace intrigue or compete with a group of women for one man.
She only wants one person for life.
It's better that the concubine isn't coming; she's too lazy to pretend to be polite.
It would be best if we kept to ourselves from now on.
Her lack of competitiveness and willingness to fight for anything worried the maidservant beside her.
This is a royal palace that eats people alive...
Li Yao got annoyed by the maid's nagging, so she adopted the air of a mistress and scared the maid a couple of times.
The maidservant fell silent.
The palace rules are complicated, and Yu Shuang does not intend to continue using the identity of the Crown Prince's concubine.
That same evening, he staged another kidnapping incident.
"Oh no! The Crown Prince's concubine has been kidnapped by assassins!"
Arrogant! Absolutely arrogant!!
They came to the palace one after another to kidnap people, humiliating the royal family.
Everyone has seen what happened to His Highness the Crown Prince after he was kidnapped.
The fate of the Crown Prince's concubine is self-evident.
The royal family couldn't afford to lose face, so they immediately announced that the Crown Prince's concubine had died of a serious illness and would be buried with the rites due to a Crown Princess...
How could the Yu family believe such a story when their perfectly good daughter was married into the Eastern Palace?
Old Master Yu made a scene before the Emperor, only to learn of such a shocking piece of news.
He went to see the unconscious Crown Prince.
I couldn't believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes...
That thief was so arrogant!
Even His Highness the Crown Prince...
Since things have come to this point, we have no choice but to give up.
The Yu family swears to find this thief and skin him alive!
Yu Mansion.
Yu Shuang arrived at the courtyard where the main house was located with ease.
This is the home where the original owner lived since childhood, so of course I have to come back and say hello.
After receiving the devastating news, the atmosphere in the eldest branch of the Yu family was somber and oppressive.
"Miss?"
When the maids and servants saw Yu Shuang appear, they were both surprised and frightened, fearing that they had seen something unclean.
Yu Shuang ignored them and walked straight to the courtyard where the original owner's mother was.
Wang Shi and her younger brother Yu Beizhou, who were grieving her death, looked on in disbelief.
"Sister!? You're not dead?"
"Shuang'er...let your mother take a good look at you..."
After confirming that Yu Shuang was alive and unharmed, the mother and son breathed a sigh of relief.
They were full of questions. Wasn't he supposed to have died of illness? How could he suddenly appear at the Yu residence?
The Emperor has ordered that she be buried with the rites due to a Crown Princess. It seems that the Eastern Palace is already preparing for the funeral. What should we do?
“Mother, brother, I did not die of illness. I was just kidnapped by thieves last night, which ruined my reputation. The Emperor is concerned about his reputation, so he said this.”
Wang was greatly surprised.
