Fenghua Palace.

Concubine Xian held her stomach and wailed, shouting that she wanted to see the emperor. The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace tried to persuade her in vain, so they had to take the risk and go to the Taiji Hall to report.

The emperor's face indeed looked a little grim after hearing this, but no matter what, Concubine Xian was the biological mother of the Sixth Prince, and also a princess of southern Xinjiang, with an extraordinary status. Since there was nothing else to do now, the emperor set out for Fenghua Palace.

As soon as the emperor entered the room, Concubine Xian knelt on the ground and admitted her mistake, acting hesitantly in an attempt to arouse the emperor's sympathy.

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

The emperor did not show it on his face, but he was extremely impatient in his heart. The little affection he had for Concubine Xian had been exhausted as early as when she threatened him to lead an expedition to Northern Xinjiang by using Southern Xinjiang as a threat. Now he was only doing this for the sake of the Sixth Prince and the Southern Xinjiang forces behind her.

"Well, since you already know your mistake, don't make it again. Find an opportunity to apologize to the Imperial Concubine, and forget about this matter. But if there is a next time, I will definitely not let you off easily!"

Concubine Xian immediately smiled and agreed. The emperor had seen enough of her face and stood up to leave.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay: "Your Majesty, you haven't had a meal with me for a long time. Today, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite food. Why don't you stay and have a meal with me?"

Today's goal has not been achieved yet. How could Concubine Xian let the emperor leave like this?

Today's meal was destined not to be an easy one. As if unintentionally, Concubine Xian led the topic to Prince Ye's Mansion and finally revealed her purpose.

"I haven't seen Princess Ye recently. I wonder if something happened to her. Rumor has it that Princess Ye has been missing for many days. It is said that she was abducted to a certain place and taken as a concubine. I don't know if this news is true. It sounds really distressing."

With a bang, the emperor dropped the chopsticks in his hand, his face turned ashen, and he was obviously angry.

"When did this happen? Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

Concubine Xian was secretly delighted, and kept advising, "Your Majesty, calm down and don't get yourself hurt by anger. I will send someone to the Night Prince's Mansion to verify this matter immediately. Please don't get angry."

The people sent back soon reported and confirmed the rumor that Princess Ye had indeed been missing for many days.

The emperor was immediately furious. A princess who was listed in the royal family tree was taken away to be a concubine. This was tantamount to a slap in the face of the royal family. Even if she was rescued, she was no longer worthy of being a princess.

"Your Majesty, why should you be angry? She is just a woman. At most, we can find a reason to erase her from Yudie, and then find someone who is considerate and kind-hearted to send to King Ye. It is not worth getting angry for Lu Yanluo."

There was a hidden meaning in Concubine Xian's words, but they unexpectedly pleased the Emperor very much.

Lu Yanluo is a woman who is not easy to deal with, and for Chu Xuan, she is a great help. If he can take this opportunity to change the title of Princess Ye, wouldn’t it be a good thing?

The emperor's expression eased a little, and he said to Concubine Xian: "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Find a few virtuous women and send them to the Night Palace in my name."

Concubine Xian was secretly delighted: "Yes, I will definitely select a few excellent women and will definitely satisfy the Night King."

In the evening, Chu Xuan rushed back to the palace from Fenghua Town. Before he entered the door, he saw several sedan chairs at the door. A eunuch hurriedly walked to Chu Xuan's side and said, "Prince, you are finally back. These are the women that I sent to you on the order of His Majesty. They are all gentle and beautiful ladies from noble families."

Chu Xuan felt a pang in his heart, and inexplicably felt uneasy: "What does father mean by this?"

The eunuch lowered his head in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "His Majesty has already known about the disappearance of the princess, and was furious. He then ordered Concubine Xian to choose someone for the prince. His Majesty meant that the prince should choose a suitable one among these people to be the princess."

Chu Xuan's face turned cold when he heard this, and he asked, "What about A'Luo? Your Majesty, do you want to wipe out A'Luo without making any noise?"

The eunuch lowered his head and dared not say a word. How could a eunuch like him influence the affairs of the royal family?

Chu Xuan said coldly: "Send these people back to His Majesty and tell him that there is only one princess in the Ye Palace, Lu Yanluo. Apart from her, I don't want anyone else!"

In the palace, Concubine Xian received the news with a look of disdain on her face. She casually waved her hand and drove away the group of fat and thin women in front of her.

So many beauties cannot impress the Night King. It seems that Lu Yanluo really has some tricks up her sleeve. But so what? Since the beauties don’t want her, she will just find another “Lu Yanluo”.

"Come out, let me take a good look at you." Concubine Xian called out in a louder voice.

The gauze curtain behind her was lifted, and a woman walked slowly to Concubine Xian with her head lowered.

"My lady."

Concubine Xian nodded and said nonchalantly, "Raise your head and let me see."

The woman looked up when she heard that. Looking at her face, Concubine Xian was slightly surprised, then clapped her hands happily: "Wonderful, really wonderful! There are actually two people in the world who look so similar."

The woman had willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, fair skin, red lips and white teeth. One glance at her would tell you she was a beauty, but anyone who had seen Lu Yanluo would be surprised and say, "It seems."

This person looks 70% like Lu Yanluo.

Concubine Xian immediately brought the person before the emperor. Even the emperor was surprised. This woman looked so much like Lu Yanluo. Chu Xuan would never refuse again.

The next morning, the eunuch from yesterday came to Prince Ye's Mansion again, with the same sedan chair behind him. Chu Xuan's face was extremely ugly, and he expressed his refusal silently.

The eunuch came closer and whispered, "His Majesty said that the prince must see this woman, and she will definitely satisfy the prince."

Having said that, he ignored Chu Xuan's murderous gaze, gritted his teeth, opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and brought the person down.

After getting off the sedan, the woman slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan suddenly stood still, stunned.

The eunuch saw this and said hurriedly: "This woman's name is Nan'an, she is very sensible, Your Majesty, please keep her, and I can go back and report to Your Majesty."

Chu Xuan did not say anything, so the eunuch took it as his consent. To prevent him from changing his mind, he quickly asked people to carry the sedan chair away, and he slipped away.

Nan'an walked into Prince Ye's Mansion just like that. Everyone in the mansion was surprised to see that her face was similar to Lu Yanluo's, and at the same time they felt closer to her. Only two people were extremely dissatisfied when they saw Nan'an's face.

Chu Yao and Chu Yuan would deliberately make things difficult for Nan'an when they saw her. No matter what delicious food she brought to them, or what fun things she took out, the two children would throw them away in front of Nan'an.

Every time, no matter how excessive the two of them were, Nan'an endured it silently.
