Meng Guxue had just become famous and had not yet enjoyed everyone's attention when Yu Zhaoyi came in gracefully and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Meng Guxue secretly complained: "A short-lived concubine has come to join in the fun!"

She had seen Yu Zhaoyi in her dream at this palace banquet, but not long after, Yu Zhaoyi was executed.

At this time in the dream, she and Shen Lang had a very good relationship, and she even asked Shen Lang about the cause of Yu Zhaoyi's death.

Shen Lang's expression was calm at the time, and he just said, "Yu Zhaoyi relied on her favor to become arrogant and lost her sense of proportion. She was ordered to be executed by my father. I don't know the inside story."

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue couldn't help but look up at the second prince.

Unexpectedly, when I looked over, I met the eyes of the Second Prince!

Meng Guxue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a blush appeared on her face.

She once had this stunning man in her dreams. After waking up from the dream, her desire for the second prince reached its peak!

This man will be the final winner. Only by being with him can she become the most powerful person in this era!

Moreover, he in the dream loved her deeply, and they were so happy together. They were a couple that everyone envied!

Although there are many deviations between reality and dreams, today, the red thread of fate still brings them together!

Shen Lang must have been attracted by her talent and appearance, so he couldn't take his eyes off her!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue looked at the second prince shyly, feeling extremely excited.

The second prince's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly nodded gently at Meng Guxue, then looked away.

This small action gave Meng Guxue great encouragement, making her more confident in her plan.

However, in reality, the second prince was not troubled at all.

He was very confident in his appearance, and could easily win the hearts of any woman he wanted to approach.

The second prince once thought that this method was crude and disdained to do it.

But after experiencing isolation and ridicule, he suddenly realized it.

In this cannibalistic palace, if you want to realize your ambitions and change your situation, you must use all means to increase your bargaining chips!

Women are just tools for him to get to the top.

As for Meng Guxue, although she has some talent, she looks frivolous and frivolous.

And from what she said just now through the wall, I can tell that this woman is very ambitious and wants a lot.

Such women are the easiest to approach, and also...the easiest to exploit.

Yu Zhaoyi's dance moves were graceful and gorgeous. Compared with the dignified and restrained movements of the dancers just now, her waist was flexible, her movements were bold, and her dance was vigorous and unrestrained, which was dazzling!

Emperor Yong became very excited and tapped the long table with his fingers, following the rhythm.

The court officials did not dare to look any longer. They only felt a light figure dancing before their eyes, so they lowered their heads even more.

Qiao Jiaojiao found it pleasing to the eye.

[This Concubine Yu is really good at dancing. I just wonder which dance is better, this one or the Jade Dance of Empress Yu Liu? ]

The dense drum beats made people's hearts pound. The Third Prince was close to it and soon felt his blood rushing and he felt slightly dizzy.

The second princess was always paying attention to the condition of the third prince, and when she saw his lips turned pale, she became worried.

The prince was very kind to his brothers and sisters. Knowing that the third prince was in poor health, he showed extra concern for him.

At this moment, when Concubine Yu was performing a dance, he didn't even raise his eyes.

But he immediately noticed the Third Prince's strangeness, so he lowered his voice and called out, "Third brother?"

The third prince turned his head upon hearing the voice, with a hint of bitterness on his lips.

His body was in such bad condition that he could hardly hold on any longer.

The prince understood what he meant, waved to the palace servant behind him, and whispered, "Third brother, go back and rest first, I will explain it to father later."

Upon hearing this, the third prince nodded gratefully and stood up with the help of the palace servants.

Emperor Yong noticed the commotion here, glanced at it, and his good mood immediately faded a little.

This third brother is useless. His existence is like a stain that makes people feel annoyed when they see him.

When Concubine Jing saw this, she bit her lower lip tightly, and the disappointment was clearly revealed on her face.

He is just not up to the task. He can't even sit down at a banquet!

The third prince did not dare to look up. He did not want to see his father's disgusted eyes, nor did he want to see his mother's disappointed face. So he hurried away with the help of the palace servants.

The Queen Mother noticed this scene and felt disappointed.

The third child has been weak and sickly since childhood. It is really difficult for him to attend the banquet today.

This child seems to be sensible, but unfortunately Concubine Jing is confused and always suppresses and despises this child, thinking that it is because of him that she is disliked by the emperor.

No matter how weak the third prince's health is, he is still a prince after all. If he is taken care of carefully, he can obviously become a promising child.

Well, if she, as the queen, said too much, Concubine Jing would doubt her intentions.

After the Third Prince left the Funing Palace, he felt relieved at first, and then he felt his body become a little weak.

The two young eunuchs around him have been serving the Third Prince since they were young and are extremely loyal.

They looked worried, "Your Highness, can you still hold on?"

The Third Prince waved his hand weakly, "It's alright, help me back."

Upon hearing this, the young eunuchs took each of the three princes' arms.

"Your Highness, when we came here, we followed His Majesty through Xuande Gate. Now if we want to go back to Xinghua Palace, it's closer to go through Chunhua Garden."

The Third Prince's steps were unsteady, and he nodded feebly, "Then we'll go to Chunhua Garden."

There were not many people in Chunhua Garden at that time, so if he lost his composure halfway, it would not be embarrassing.

As they had entered the garden, one of the eunuchs immediately squatted in front of the third prince.

"Your Highness, there is no one here. Let me carry you back!"

The third prince did not refuse. He leaned over and lay on the young eunuch's back. Another person protected him from behind, and they took a shortcut back to Xinghua Palace.

As we were walking towards Yuhua Lake and approaching a hidden rockery, we suddenly heard a faint sound of crying.

The young eunuch paused, looking puzzled.

The third prince signaled the young eunuch to put him down, then he listened carefully and found that there was indeed a sound.

"Your Highness, please wait here. I will go and take a look."

The Third Prince nodded cautiously and warned, "Be gentle."

The young eunuch took the order respectfully, his heart slightly tense.

This is the path leading back to Xinghua Palace, and normally no one should be walking here.

The young eunuch tiptoed around the rockery and suddenly let out a low cry.

The third prince frowned suddenly when he heard this. He had also gathered some strength along the way, so he walked in with the help of another young eunuch.

When they went around the rockery, they saw that the young eunuch who had been exploring the way ahead was already there.

The third prince took a few steps forward, and when he saw the scene inside the rockery clearly, he forgot to react for a moment.

I saw a young girl with disheveled hair, dirty and wrinkled clothes, her mouth stuffed with strips of cloth, her hands and feet tied and thrown among the rocks of the rockery.

At this moment, she was looking at them with tears in her eyes, her face full of pleading and fear, and she was whimpering.
