Wei Xin said firmly, "The prince fell into an abyss and there is no possibility of him surviving. However, people were sent to search for him at the foot of the cliff."

Shi Jun returned to the desk and sat down, and said in a flat tone, "What else did your father-in-law bring?"

"The original words of the lord were, Your Highness, although you have arrived at the palace and that man is dead, you can't take it lightly. His Majesty has always been suspicious. You must hurry and familiarize yourself with the affairs of the court."

"I know."

Before the evening, the palace servants came to report one after another, "Your Highness, Concubine Liu sent plum cakes."

"Your Highness, Concubine Xue sent nourishing soup."

"Your Highness,..."

A slightly angry voice came from the palace, "Don't disturb me from handling government affairs because of these things in the future."

"Yes, Your Highness." The head aunt led people to retreat.

But this peace was broken at dinner time, when the food was just delivered from the kitchen.

A graceful woman entered the Purple Palace. She was wearing a lavender palace dress, a white gauze dress on the outside, and a white belt around her waist, which made her waist look slender.

Chaoyun had a white jade hairpin inserted in her bun, her face was delicately made up, and her slender eyebrows and eyes were full of affection.

In her hand was an exquisite food box filled with various delicious dishes. She

walked lightly to the door of the palace and called out, "Your Highness, Lan'er is here."

Shi Jun's eyebrows showed a hint of displeasure at being disturbed, but she quickly hid it.

"You all go down, I'll serve Your Highness for dinner."

"Yes, Concubine Lan."

She pushed the food aside and took out an exquisite plate from the food box.

"Your Highness, Lan'er has made your favorite drunken shrimp, lamb with four soft meats, four fresh soup, Qingyuan tofu..."

Shi Jun took the jade pendant and picked up a piece of Qingyuan tofu under the eager eyes of Concubine Lan. While chewing, he said in a low voice: "It tastes good."

Concubine Lan was a little surprised, "Your Highness, you didn't like tofu in the past. Every time you picked up your chopsticks, the first thing you took was definitely drunken shrimp. Why today?"

Shi Jun picked up another peeled drunken shrimp, put it in his mouth, and said coldly: "I am injured and need to replenish multiple nutrients."

Seeing that he was angry, Concubine Lan hurriedly pulled his sleeve to apologize, "Your Highness, it's my fault, don't be angry."

"How could it be? I'm not angry with you, I'm just a little tired and want to rest."

"Your Highness, are you trying to get rid of me? This time, Your Highness was assassinated. You know how worried I was about you. I knelt in front of the Bodhisattva to pray day and night. My knees still hurt..."

Shi Jun cried as he spoke, and he forced a little smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Lan."

The woman wanted to sit in his arms, but was pushed away by Shi Jun.

Snorting with contempt, Shi Yan, is this how you acted in the past?

Concubine Lan said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, why did you leave the little stutterer in the Zichen Palace to sleep with you last night? She didn't love Your Highness, but Pei Yu. Have you forgotten that she secretly met Pei Yu on the day of the wedding?"

Pei Yu? The son of Prime Minister Pei Qing.

Shi Jun frowned and said angrily, "Get out!"

Concubine Lan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly stood up and left.

Back in Chaoxia Palace, Concubine Lan felt a great sense of crisis.

"My lady, don't worry, His Highness has always disliked the Crown Princess, and he likes you." The palace maid served tea to comfort her.

Concubine Lan knew the truth in her heart. Although Shi Yan and Xu Mian had been quarreling since childhood, he paid close attention to her every move, and even fought with her many times because of Pei Yu. This was jealousy.

Thinking of the scene on the day of Shi Yan and Xu Mian's wedding.

That day, the palace was decorated with lanterns and red wedding characters were pasted all over the palace walls. People were dressed in red, and it was very lively.

As a concubine, she entered the palace with other concubines without any ceremony.

When the palace lights were first lit, Shi Yan came down from the wedding banquet in a red dress with a rosy face, and then walked towards Penglai Palace impatiently.

His face was filled with joy and his steps were brisk, as if he was full of expectations.

However, at this moment, a woman in blue suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

"Your Highness!" Concubine Lan bowed slightly and said, "I have come specially to welcome you to Chaoxia Palace."

Shi Yan frowned and said unhappily, "When did I say that I would stay in Chaoxia Palace tonight? Get out of the way!"

Concubine Lan refused to give way and said tenderly, "Your Highness, I know you are anxious to see the Crown Princess, but you know that the Crown Princess is not in Penglai Palace at the moment, but... ran to the Taiye Lake to meet Pei Yu in private!"

"What?" Shi Yan's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he roared in anger: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Concubine Lan choked with grievance: "I dare not deceive Your Highness. I saw with my own eyes that the Crown Princess and Pei Yu were hugging each other by the Taiye Lake, and their behavior was very intimate. I was worried that they would do something that would insult the royal family, so I came to tell Your Highness. Please make the decision!"

Shi Yan was so angry that he trembled all over. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "What a soft Mianmian, you dare to have an affair with another man behind my back!"

As he said that, he strode towards the direction of Taiye Lake.

Seeing this, Concubine Lan raised a smug smile at the corner of her mouth and hurriedly followed.

Shi Yan came to the Taiye Lake and saw Xu Mian and Pei Yu together.

Burning with rage, he rushed over and punched Pei Yu to the ground.

"Your Highness, what are you...doing?" Xu Mian tried to help Pei Yu up, but was pushed away by Shi Yan.

"How dare you to meet another man behind my back!"

Shi Yan stared at Xu Mian, his eyes full of anger and disappointment.

"I didn't..." Xu Mian defended, "I just...came here...to take a walk, and happened to...meet Pei Yu."

"Coincidence? I think you two have made an appointment a long time ago!" Shi Yan didn't believe what Xu Mian said.

"Your Highness, since you don't trust Mian Mian, why do you marry her?" Pei Yu couldn't help but speak.

"I don't trust her?" Shi Yan sneered, "Do I still have to believe in you adulterers?"

"You..." Pei Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Shi Yan was about to kick Pei Yu, but was stopped by Xu Mian, "Your Highness, today is...our wedding...it's unlucky to hit someone."

"Don't meet him again in the future, or I'll kill him!" Shi Yan said this and turned away.

Concubine Lan looked very proud and followed Shi Yan to leave Taiye Lake.

"Your Highness, don't be angry, go to Chaoxia Palace, Lan'er will dance for you."

Shi Yan kicked the stone bench beside the Yu Garden hard, ignored her, and went straight back to Zichen Palace.

By the Taiye Lake, Xu Mian supported Pei Yu and walked towards the palace gate.

"Mianmian, go back. I'm fine. I will definitely do what you said."

"I know..."

So on the wedding day, one person went crazy in Zichen Palace, and the other cried secretly in Penglai Palace.

Shi Yan kicked the table away and said angrily, "Mianmian, you are my wife. If you dare to date another man next time, I will break your legs!"

He paced in a big circle, with a bit of resentment, "Why does Mianmian always have no eyes for me? Does she like Pei Yu? Don't let me find a chance, otherwise I will kill him and let her think about him again."
