Chapter 363: See Through, Banquet Incident
After drinking, Beigong You frowned slightly and felt even more annoyed with the banquet, but in order to see Lin Miaoyin as soon as possible, he suppressed his emotions and sat down in his seat.
He looked outside frequently during the meal and became increasingly restless.
Yu Lingxiu tried to talk to him several times, but every time she wanted to speak, she turned her head away and looked at Chu Youan, ignoring him.
Yu Lingxiu felt very unhappy when she saw this.
Just as she was sulking, the maid next to her accidentally spilled wine on her while serving her, and she screamed.
"Ah! My clothes."
The maid quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake, "Please forgive me, Miss Yu. I didn't mean it."
Yu Lingxiu looked at the stains on her clothes and her face turned pale with anger. This was a new dress she had made specially for this banquet.
She was about to curse, but when her eyes caught sight of Beigong You beside her, she forced herself to hold it back and put on an aggrieved look.
The princess also noticed the commotion here and scolded the servant with a cold face, "You are so clumsy, why don't you get down quickly."
The maid quickly went down to confess her crime.
The princess spoke up to comfort Yu Lingxiu again, "The maid was careless and made Lingxiu feel wronged."
"There are some new clothes in my courtyard that have not been worn yet. If Miss Yu doesn't mind, you can change into them."
Yu Lingxiu had been pursing her lips with an unhappy look on her face, but upon hearing this, she quickly said, "The princess's things are naturally good, Lingxiu naturally wouldn't dare to reject them."
The eldest princess waved her hand, and immediately a maid came forward and took her down.
After Yu Lingxiu left, the princess glanced at Beigong You, stood up and said with a faint smile: "I am sorry to bother you with a little matter. It's almost time, let's go to the garden to enjoy the flowers first."
When the eldest princess spoke, everyone responded without hesitation. They all stood up and followed her to the garden.
Beigong You also stood up, but did not leave with them. He watched them leave.
The eldest princess glanced at Beigong You, and when she saw that he had not caught up, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she let the nanny help her leave.
After the people left, Feng Ming stepped forward and asked, "My Lord, do you want to continue waiting here?"
Beigong You glanced at the sky and realized that it was already past the time for Lin Miaoyin to come for treatment.
But Lin Miaoyin never showed up. Although she was only a female doctor now, everyone in the mansion treated her as a guest of honor and they would never let anyone know when she came.
He hasn't appeared for so long, could something have happened?
Beigong You's heart tightened, and he said anxiously, "Let's go and check at the door."
He was just about to leave when he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down. Feng Ming quickly supported him, "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
Beigong You shook his head vigorously to try to wake up, but his consciousness was still a little groggy, "I feel a little dizzy."
Feng Ming's heart tightened, and he hurriedly helped him walk: "Your Highness, you are not well yet, you should rest for a while."
Beigong You was worried about Lin Miaoyin and struggled to stand up straight. "No, I have to wait for her to help me out."
But he was so weak that even Feng Ming couldn't struggle free.
Feng Ming was worried about his health, so he could only ignore his orders and help him to the yard.
Beigong You resisted, but his strength was weakened, so he could not do anything to Feng Ming. He could only scold him, "How dare you! Be careful or I will punish you!"
"Your Majesty, even if you want to chop off my head, you have to wait until my body is well again."
Feng Ming carried Feng Ming to the courtyard without saying anything. Halfway through the walk, a maid came forward and asked, "What happened, Your Majesty?"
"The prince is not feeling well, hurry up and make some medicine for him."
The maid looked confused. "Medicine? What medicine? Where is it?"
Feng Ming then remembered that he had been keeping the prince's medicine, so he had to hand the person over to the maid, "You help the prince back to the house, I will go to boil the medicine."
"Yes, Guard Feng Ming."
The maid responded and held Beigong You tightly.
After Feng Ming disappeared from her sight, her smiling face suddenly turned cold. She glanced at the drowsy Beigong You, supported him and walked out.
The maid helped him walk all the way to the eldest princess' courtyard. Just as she was about to push open a door and help Beigong You in, Beigong You suddenly opened his eyes.
He grabbed the maid's shoulders with his backhand and pressed her against the door. His eyes were clear at this moment, without any sign of drowsiness.
The maid was startled, and looked at Beigong You with a panicked expression and said, "Prince...Prince..."
Beigong You glanced at the tightly closed door, then retracted his gaze and asked in a cold voice, "Is Miss Yu in there?"
The maid's face turned pale, her eyes were evasive, and she hesitated, not daring to say a word.
The maid didn't say anything, but Beigong You already knew it in his heart.
His biological mother actually wanted to use such a dirty method to force him to take a concubine.
There are such mothers in this world.
She is indeed the eldest princess of Dayan, and her cruel methods are indeed passed down from the Dayan royal family.
Beigong You couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or heartbroken, he just felt that this was indeed something the eldest princess could do.
If it were someone else, perhaps this method would work, but the princess didn't know that he had been taking medicine ever since his health deteriorated.
His physical condition was too poor, and he even used poisonous herbs as medicine to save his life. Over time, he developed resistance to many medicines.
The drugs had no effect on him at all.
When he drank the glass of wine, he tasted something wrong. It was not until someone tried to attack him and Yu Lingxiu's clothes were soiled that his guess was confirmed.
But until the last moment, he still held a glimmer of hope for the eldest princess.
Until now, that hope has been dashed.
"Does Miss Yu know about this?"
The maid turned her eyes away and dared not speak. Beigong You listened carefully to the movements inside and made sure that there was no sound inside. He knew that Yu Lingxiu was probably also drugged.
Just wait for him to enter the room too.
At that time, the eldest princess would bring everyone here inexplicably, and let everyone see them lying together in disarray, a man and a woman.
It was too late to say or do anything at that time.
Even without the princess's coercion, he had to marry Yu Lingxiu.
Beigong You smiled bitterly and let go of the maid, "Forget it, go now."
Even though the eldest princess was plotting against him like this, he couldn't openly break up with her.
Although he didn't like Yu Lingxiu, he also knew how important a woman's reputation was.
Yu Lingxiu was not aware of this matter, so he could not take advantage of the situation and use a woman's reputation to destroy the princess's plan.
Seeing that Beigong You let her go, the maid ran away quickly.
After everyone left, Feng Ming stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you just going to let her go?"
Beigong You let out a long sigh. If he hadn't known that Lin Miaoyin was coming and didn't want her to misunderstand that he was going to take a concubine, he wouldn't have let it go so easily.
But regarding today's matter, after meeting Lin Miaoyin, he will discuss it with the eldest princess again.
The most important thing today is the reunion with Miaoyin.
He didn't want these dirty things to ruin the joy of this reunion.
Seeing that Lin Miaoyin was still nowhere to be seen until noon, Beigong You became more and more uneasy.
Although he was not there to watch in person, he knew that Miaoyin had never been late since she started treating Youan.
He's late today, something must have happened.
Beigong You looked solemn and asked, "Is the princess here?"
Feng Ming was about to speak when the secret guard who had been investigating Lin Miaoyin's whereabouts suddenly appeared and reported.
"My Lord, Master Feng Ming, something happened to the princess."
