...
After the banquet ended, although Yun Zhuo hadn't drunk much, he still made a point of raising his arm to sniff when he got up, and he smelled strongly of alcohol.
"Go to the side hall to wash up," Yun Zhuo said, otherwise Ye Qingxue would be bothered by the strong smell, as she couldn't stand it.
After walking about ten zhang, Yun Zhuo suddenly frowned. He was being followed, but he only paused for a moment before continuing forward.
Upon entering the side hall, he lowered his voice and said to Luo Xing in a seemingly casual tone, "Later, go find the Crown Princess and tell her that I'm washing and changing in this side hall. You don't need to stay by my side."
Luo Xing also knew that his prince was being followed. The prince asked him to leave so that he could find out who was following him and what they wanted to do!
He nodded: "Understood!"
After the master and servant entered the hall, less than a quarter of an hour later, Luo Xing's voice rang out: "Your Highness, you have drunk quite a bit. Please rest here. I will go and invite the Crown Princess over."
"Go now! I need the Crown Princess. No one but her will let me change my clothes!"
Luo Xing rushed out and quickly crossed the courtyard to look for Ye Qingxue.
Prime Minister Ning Hongxi and Ning Rong stood on another path.
The light was dim, but they could see Luo Xing leaving and clearly hear the conversation between the master and servant.
"Father, the Crown Prince is drunk, and Luo Xing has gone to find Ye Qingxue." Ning Rong was a little nervous and impatient: "Can I go in now, daughter?"
“Yes, go in. Yun Zhuo is drunk right now. He just said he wanted the Crown Princess. It’s perfect time for you to go in now,” Ning Hongxi said seriously.
"Father, once things are settled, I will throw a vase out the window to signal you. Please summon the Emperor immediately. I am determined to marry my cousin, the Crown Prince."
Ning Hongxi nodded, reminding her, "The medicine is ready."
Ning Rong gripped the medicine bottle tightly, crouched down, and walked towards the side hall. Her father must have temporarily evacuated the people around here, as she didn't notice anyone. Only then did she slowly straighten up and confidently walk in.
At Minghua Palace, her plans were thwarted by the Empress Dowager, so she went to her father, the Prime Minister, to discuss having sex with Yun Zhuo and becoming a concubine in the Crown Prince's residence.
She thought her father would disagree, after all, when Yun Zhuo was deposed, her father was the first to rush to kill Yun Zhuo. But now her father not only agreed, but also approved of her actions, and even helped her come up with ideas.
Sure enough, her father also felt that with her looks and family background, she should marry the crown prince.
She married a bad man, and her father lost face.
Yun Zhuo sat on the couch, his two fingers supporting his temples, and closed his eyes as if he were dozing.
Hearing footsteps approaching, he subtly opened his eyes and saw an orange figure.
Tsk, it's like a persistent ghost.
court death.
...
Half an hour later, a vase was thrown out of the window and shattered on the ground. Ning Hongxi saw it and immediately turned to find the emperor.
After the emperor left the banquet, he did not go far, and the prime minister quickly found him.
The prime minister said he had important matters to discuss with the emperor and asked him to go to a side hall.
The emperor had drunk quite a bit tonight and was slightly tipsy, so he followed the prime minister. When they reached the vicinity of the side hall, he suddenly stopped.
This atmosphere feels familiar.
He frowned and tried hard to recall, remembering that more than half a year ago, he had also been led to a side hall and caught Princess Lingyang and Yun Xun, who was then the seventh prince, having an affair.
...I heard from the palace servants that Yun Zhuo has not yet left the palace. It is said that he came to the side hall to wash and change his clothes. So the reason why the Prime Minister has brought him here is...
The emperor suddenly understood.
However, he did not intend to expose it; on the contrary, he was happy to see it happen.
If the Ning family girl and Yun Zhuo really do consummate their relationship, then he will indeed have to grant the Ning family girl the title of concubine in the Crown Prince's residence.
There's no particular reason; I just want someone to keep a close eye on Yun Zhuo and Ye Qingxue all the time.
This couple is not of one mind with him. He also has ulterior motives in appointing Yunzhuo as crown prince. He must be wary of these two at all times.
The prime minister was well aware of this, so he was happy to send his daughter to the crown prince's residence to act as the emperor's spy.
The emperor pretended to know nothing and asked, "Prime Minister, what is the matter?"
"Once Your Majesty enters the inner palace, you will know what important matter is." The Prime Minister repeatedly gestured for the Emperor to enter.
The emperor continued walking inside.
Not far behind them, Yun Zhuo held Ye Qingxue's hand and followed slowly and discreetly.
Yun Zhuo's lips curled into a cold smile.
