Chapter 61 Really Is Her

  "Really?" Roufei was stunned, and then muttered to herself, seemingly somewhat skeptical and surprised, possibly because she was too shocked to feel much joy.

  "Of course it's true, this girl doesn't have the guts to lie, and this is the best proof." Mingfei looked at her as if she didn't believe it, slightly raised an eyebrow, then continued speaking.

  As they spoke, the blood-stained sheet was handed over once again, and it seemed to be deliberately waved in front of Meng Fu Ying's face, with a few more hints of complacency at the corner of his lips.

  "Sister, this virgin blood, it's something that can't be faked. You and I are both experienced people, this should be very clear." Ming Fei's voice had a few more intentional flaunting tones.

  Roufei's eyes slightly gazed at Meng Fu Ying, but she didn't speak, as if thinking about something.

  Meng Fu's shadow was faintly stunned, and suddenly remembered that Xuan Yuan Ye made a fake virgin blood, would Rong Fei suspect it?

  "It must be said that this palace's girl is indeed a standard beauty, which man can see her and not be moved? Ming Fei's eyes once again scanned Meng Cuiying with a profound meaning, then pulled over Ling'er behind her, and unreservedly praised, "Sister take a look at this face, this figure, this spirit, all of them are one in ten thousand. Although she is not a noble lady, but she is no worse than those noble ladies."

  Roufei's eyes looked at the spirit again, and her eyes also showed a few more points of approval. She nodded slightly and whispered, "Indeed, it's not bad."

  "That's natural. Such a woman, which man can resist?" Mingfei heard Rongfei's words and her face became even more complacent, speaking with even greater abandon.

  Roufei seemed to frown slightly, it was unclear whether she was dissatisfied with Mingfei's words.

  The little spirit's maid heard Ming Fei's words, and a faint blush also appeared on her face, she looked down with some shyness.

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes flashed slightly, to say that this little girl was indeed very good-looking. She remembered that last night, Xuan Yuan Ye told her that this little girl seemed to be seducing him in his room.

  She also said it was her order, but Xuan Yuan Ye said that at the time, she drove this girl away. She naturally believed in Xuan Yuan Ye's words, but what about this virgin blood?

  Just as Mingfei said, this virgin blood is indeed unlikely to be fake, and this girl shouldn't dare to use a fake one to deceive people either.

  "Feng Er, what do you think about this?" Meng Fengying was deep in thought when Rong Fei suddenly turned to her and asked with a hint of deliberation.

  Meng Fu's eyes widened in shock, and then he suddenly shook his head and said, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Your Highness would never favor her."

  Meng Fu Ying's head shook slightly faster, and her voice was also tinged with obvious excitement.

  Last night, I had an agreement with Xuan Yuan Ye that we would put on a good show, and of course, I couldn't let him down.

  The person behind her was indeed formidable, so she couldn't reveal any weaknesses.

  "Impossible? What's impossible about it?" Ming Fei's eyes stared straight at her, with a face full of mockery and disdain. "The facts are right in front of you, do you still want to deceive yourself? The matters between us men, can't be controlled by just one woman, even if you're the princess, you can't stop His Highness from taking other women. Besides, take a look at your current state, and yet you still want to monopolize His Highness, it's truly self-delusional."

  Ming Fei's words were laced with venom, each sentence was poisonous.

  "No, I don't believe her, she's lying." Meng Bufei suddenly shouted in anger, his eyes also gazing furiously at the little girl.

  Meng Fu Ying was also secretly thinking in her heart about the matter of the virgin's blood, whether that maid had lied or not.

  Since she dared to deceive Xuan Yuan Ye, saying that it was her who told her to go to Xuan Yuan Ye's room, then it is also very likely that she will lie about this matter.

  "No, no, I didn't lie." Ling'er shook her head repeatedly and argued hastily as soon as she heard Meng Cuiying's words.

  In those sparkling eyes, a fleeting tear rolled over, slowly sliding down her beautiful and moving face.

  "The servant girl really didn't lie, Your Highness last night, really went to the servant girl's room, really took the servant girl..." Ling'er was still just a 15 or 16 year old maid after all.

  At this point, it's also a bit shy, the voice is getting smaller and smaller, and finally just pitifully looking at Meng Zuiying.

  Meng Fu Ying's heart skipped a beat in her mind, she said, Xuan Yuan Ye went to her room?

  Meng Fu Ying originally thought she would be in Xuan Yuan Ye's room, how did she end up going to her own room instead?

  "You said, Your Highness went to your room?" Meng Bufei asked again in shock, but fearing that her unusual behavior would be noticed, her voice was filled with more agitation and anger.

  "Yes, yesterday, the princess didn't return, so I went to the master's room to take care of him. Later, when the master returned, he told me to leave. At first, I thought it was because he disliked me, but later, just as I had fallen asleep, the master came to my room again... and then..." Ling'er continued explaining in a low voice, her face flushing with embarrassment, making it clear what had happened next.

  In Meng Cuo Ying's heart, there was even more astonishment, although she didn't say it out loud, that Xuan Yuan Ye had hurried her to leave, but also hadn't completely concealed the truth.

  As for what she said, who exactly was the person who went to her room later?

  It's definitely not Xuan Yuan Ye, because at that time, he was on her bed, unless Xuan Yuan Ye had the ability to split his body.

  "Feng Er, didn't you say that Ye Er didn't return to the Wang Fu yesterday?" Consort Rou seemed to have suddenly remembered Meng Fengying's words and said with a puzzled expression, "If Ye Er didn't return to the Wang Fu, then isn't this maid lying?"

  Meng Fu Ying was stunned, she had indeed said that to Ruo Fei when she first came, but Ruo Fei's words at this moment were extremely good, and seemed to be doubting Ming Fei's words.

  "Yes, yesterday, His Highness came to the palace and told me not to return to the Wang Mansion, saying that I should rest at the Empress Dowager's place instead. How could I have possibly met you?" Meng Fuying asked harshly, her eyes fixed straight on Ling'er.

  "Hmph." This time, without waiting for Ling'er to speak up, Mingfei let out a cold snort. "You're too naive, this is obvious, they just don't want you around and are making excuses not to let you return."

  Ming Fei's lips curled up with an unmistakable sneer, her words paused for a moment before she continued, "Moreover, this also proves that Your Highness has grown tired of you. Perhaps, the reason Your Highness brought you back to the manor was to exact revenge on your escaped concubine, but after just one time, he's already fed up with you."

  The words of Ming Fei were indeed ruthless, and in the face of such a thing, adding such words was a huge blow. The women in this imperial palace were indeed ruthless and poisonous.

  "Empress Ming, don't talk nonsense." Rong Fei's face suddenly sank, and she said in an angry tone.

  "Yan'er is not that kind of person, Yan'er has brought Fu'er back, and will naturally treat her well. After all, Fu'er is Yan'er's queen." The words of the gentle concubine were obviously biased towards Meng Fuying, and at the same time, also defended Xuan Yuan Yan.

  "Sister, you're so naive, you don't even understand men's thoughts." Just then, Consort Mei and Consort Liu also walked in, and Consort Mei heard Consort Rou's words and continued.

  She swayed her hips and slowly walked to Meng Fuying's face, extremely disdainfully glanced at Meng Fuying, then continued to say, "Men, the more they can't get, the more they want to get, and once they've got it, lost that freshness, it's over..."

  As they spoke, he glanced at Meng Fu Ying again, and the corners of his mouth also curled up with obvious sarcasm. "If one has some capital, time can be longer, but for those who were originally not worth seeing, yet still overestimated themselves, a day's time is probably already too long."

  To say, Mei Fei's words were acknowledged by Meng Fu Ying, she precisely pointed out the inferiority of men.

  But then again, it's not like they're all invisible or anything, all men are like that.

  There will still be infatuated people.

  She believes Xuan Yuan Ye will be a devoted person.

  At this moment, she felt that the situation seemed to be getting more and more chaotic. Originally, she had always suspected Rong Fei, but now it seemed that everything was designed by Ming Fei.

  That girl is Ming Fei's person, and Rong Fei seems to be completely unaware of anything.

  It's just that I don't know if you really don't know, or if you're just pretending too well.

  If it's really unknown, then so be it. But if it's all her disguise, then Rong Fei is too formidable.

  Things have developed to this point, and it can be said that they have been quite successful in sowing discord between her and Xuan Yuan Ye.

  However, it was getting clearer and clearer that Rong Fei had nothing to do with this matter.

  "Feng'er, don't listen to their nonsense. Later, I'll have someone call Yan'er over and I'll ask him myself." Consort Rou gazed at Meng Fengying with a concerned expression.

  "Sister, what else do you want to ask? Ask him if he has touched Ling'er or if he still wants this Marquis Hou's daughter." Mingfei smiled slightly and said again with a hint of mockery.

  Then, she pulled Ling'er over again and pushed her to the front of everyone. "Come, let me show you whether Ling'er is lying or not. If that virgin blood is not enough, I'll let you see this too."

  Mingfei spoke as she suddenly tore open Ling'er's shirt, and the obvious signs of their love-making were starkly revealed to everyone present.

  Ling seemed a bit shy, subconsciously wanting to cover her chest with her clothes.

  "What are you ashamed of now? You're all women, what are you afraid of? I'm clearing this up for you." Mingfei glared at her fiercely, with a hint of anger in her tone.

  "How about it? Do you believe me now?" Ming Fei looked at Meng Cui Ying again, smiling complacently. "You won't say that this is fake too, will you?"

  That doesn't seem fake, she hasn't had that kind of experience before, but she has seen such marks. In the past, when she was in school, many girls in her dormitory had boyfriends. Some girls would often have such marks on their bodies, and she saw them when they took baths together.

  So, she is not unfamiliar with this kind of mark.

  "Does she believe it or not, what's the difference?" Mei Fei's lips curled up again in a cold smile, "Isn't the fact already right before our eyes?"

  The words of Mei Fei were even more ruthless, this woman was indeed not ordinary poison, as if she feared that her blows would not hit Meng Cui Ying.

  "Yes, if she doesn't want to believe it, then let her continue deceiving herself. However, this queen's position should still be hers. It's just that... the prince's heart is hard to say..." Mingfei heard Meifei's words and smiled again with satisfaction, looking at Meng Fuyao's eyes with a few more sympathetic sneers.

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes sank slightly, and in her heart, she secretly seethed with anger. How ruthless, really ruthless, not only did he let her see this ironclad evidence, but also came to strike at her one by one.

  If she hadn't seen Xuan Yuan Ye yesterday, then now, I don't know if she could have withstood such a blow.

  However, at this moment, she still had to cooperate with them and continue acting, only in this way could they catch the person who was secretly manipulating things.

  "It's impossible, it's impossible." Meng Fu Ying continuously shook her head, her body slightly trembling, pretending to be extremely shocked, with a face full of sadness and distress. "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, this isn't real."

  "Hmph, don't you still not believe me?" Mei Fei coldly laughed again, "This palace is kindly advising you, it's better to obediently acknowledge it, turn a blind eye, if things get out of hand, there won't be any good outcome for you."

  To say, the words spoken by Mei Fei are still relatively fair. In ancient times, in such a situation, if a woman were to make a fuss, it would indeed bring her no benefits at all.

  "Yes, if you really want to make a scene, I'm afraid even the position of queen will not be guaranteed." Queen Ming also chimed in with some sarcastic remarks, her face showing a schadenfreude expression.

  "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone Your Highness. You can't make a fuss about this matter." The words of Consort Liu were relatively gentle, with a hint of sympathy in her voice.

  Meng Fu's eyes widened in surprise, but deep down, she was secretly laughing coldly again. Given her personality, it was impossible for her to just accept this, or else she wouldn't have run away from marriage in the first place. These people probably understood her personality as well, so at this moment, trying to persuade her would only add fuel to the fire.

  "If this is true, then I'd rather give up on the princess." Meng Fuying took a deep breath and said with a resolute expression.

  "Feng Er, you..." The gentle concubine's face was also extremely unsightly at this moment, and when she looked at Meng Fengying, she was also filled with obvious worry, softly exclaiming.

  "Sister, let's just say that these few girls were sent by you personally, so now, don't try to persuade me anymore." Mingfei's eyes flashed, and then she spoke out to stop Rongfei, but the meaning of her words was obviously intentionally provocative towards Rongfei and Meng Fuying's relationship.

  "But, but you said it was Fu Er Da..." Consort Rou hurriedly looked towards Consort Ming and repeatedly spoke. Her voice carried a clear sense of urgency.

  "Sister, we all understand, we are just like you, for the sake of Rong Er, we also want to let Rong Er spread his branches and leaves early." Ming Fei quickly interrupted Rou Fei's words, saying with a slight smile.

  "But..." Rong Fei still wanted to say something more.

  "Alright, sister, don't be anxious anymore. She looks so pitifully thin, who knows when she'll get pregnant? But Ling'er is different, look at her plump body, maybe in just a few days, there will be good news."

  Ming Fei interrupted Ruo Fei's words again, with a faint smile on her face.

  Ling'er's head hung even lower, but her neck was flushed with a deep red glow.

  Roufei looked at Ling'er, and her eyes also showed a few more hesitant, subconsciously swept Ling'er's belly with a glance, then softly sighed.

  Meng Fu Ying looked at the scene before her, but in her heart, she had even more doubts. Judging from this situation, it seemed that this matter was indeed designed by Ming Fei.

  It was Mingfei who suggested sending Yaotou, and just now, according to Yu Fei's words, it seemed that Mingfei had deceived Yu Fei, deceiving her into thinking she had agreed to this matter.

  I think that before she left the day before yesterday, Rong Fei went in to change her clothes. Could it be that after Rong Fei came out, Ming Fei and the others falsely claimed that she had agreed to that matter, and then Rong Fei went to ask the Emperor for an oral decree?

  From the soft queen's words that they had just interrupted, she could vaguely guess this possibility.

  However, Rong Fei believed them just based on their one-sided words and didn't even ask her again. The next day, she sent those few maids to the Wang Fu.

  It's obvious that Mingfei wants to take advantage of Rongfei's simplicity, tricking her into thinking it was her idea, and then use Rongfei as a pawn to send those women to the Yiwang Mansion.

  But can Rong Fei really be so simple-minded?

  Was I used by them like this?

  This matter seems to be getting more and more complicated, and she is also becoming increasingly suspicious of Rong Fei.

  I thought of what Qing Zhu said yesterday, it's highly likely that the person who went to assassinate her that night was a woman.

  And also, last night, she quietly went to Qing Zhu's place again. Qing Zhu said that the other party was also injured that night because later on, she discovered a few drops of blood on the ground.

  Although she was a bit suspicious of Lan Mei before, but on Lan Mei's side, these two days, there doesn't seem to be any unusual reaction.

  Suddenly in his mind, a flash, could that woman be Rong Fei?

  At this point, Meng Buru's eyes flashed slightly, and then she suddenly grabbed Rong Fei's left hand, pulling it hard, and said with a hint of tears, "Mother, were those women really sent by you?"

  The voice carried a hint of accusation.

  Roufei was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that she would suddenly grab her and ask this question out of the blue. For a moment, she was stunned, simply staring at her in a daze, unsure of how to respond.

  And her body, with Meng Fu Ying's pull, heavily leaned forward, almost falling down, fortunately, the palace maid beside her quickly supported her.

  And her arm seemed to have nothing unusual, and there was no painful expression on her face.

  Qing Zhu said, the wound is on that person's left shoulder. If it was Rong Fei, then with such a sudden pull, she would definitely feel pain. If the wound is deep enough, there might even be blood seeping out.

  However, Roufei didn't show any unusual behavior and was suddenly pulled forward by her. Anyone who has practiced martial arts would have a natural reaction.

  Under her sudden movement, the first reaction should have been an unconscious defense, but Rong Fei...

  Roufei seems to not understand martial arts at all.

  So, it shouldn't be her who went to get a tattoo that night.

  "How dare you, you have such a big nerve, to actually pull and drag Concubine Rou! If by any chance you hurt the concubine, can you take responsibility?" The little palace maid, with a face full of shock but also anger, shouted at Meng Fu Ying.

  "Foolish child, the empress dowager just wants to hold her grandson earlier, and she also thinks that you are...” The gentle concubine seemed to have suddenly come back to her senses after hearing the maid's words, and hastily said.

  "Sister, you are really kind-hearted. She treats you like that and you still apologize to her. What's more, this matter, you didn't even do anything wrong." Mingfei interrupted Rongfei's words again.

  Although on the surface it seemed like a persuasion, but seeing the two of them in conflict, there was a hint of a pleased smile hidden in her eyes.

  "Fine, very well, since that's the case, I don't care about this princess position either." Meng Cuiying suddenly stood up straight, her face ruthless as she spoke. Then she quickly turned around and walked away, having seen enough of everything here.

  Looking back now, that person's goal was obviously to stir up trouble between her and Xuan Yuan Ye, but she had a faint feeling that things were far from being that simple.

  She believes this thing has not ended yet and seems to be just a beginning.

  Although Mingfei has been very positive, so far it seems that everything is related to her.

  However, this Ming Fei is too proactive, talks too much and acts too obviously. It's clear that she isn't the real planner, but rather has been utilized.

  "Wait..." The gentle concubine saw her turn and leave, hastily calling out, her voice full of urgency and worry.

  "Sister, never mind, let her go, see what she can do, I want to see what kind of trouble she can stir up." Mingfei quickly pulled back the soft-fei who wanted to chase after her, and said with a ruthless face.

  "Caiwen, hurry up and follow her, don't let anything happen to the princess." Rongfei was being pulled by Mingfei, and could only hastily instruct a small palace maid beside her.

  "Yes." The little palace maid responded respectfully and then hastily followed out, following behind Meng Cuiying.

  Meng Fu's eyebrows were slightly raised as she walked ahead, but was Yu Fei really worried about her and letting this little palace maid watch over her, or did she want the little palace maid to spy on her?

  No matter which one, Meng Cuo Ying knew that now, she couldn't be the slightest bit careless, so she deliberately pretended to be dazed, with a clear expression of sadness and sorrow on her face.

  He walked along the road, also staggering, as if he was too heartbroken to walk steadily.

  The little palace maid and the young eunuch on the road, seeing her appearance, were all shocked with their eyes wide open. Several little palace maids saw her appearance, possibly feeling some sympathy, wanting to go forward to support her, but were restrained by their own status, not daring to move forward.

  Cai Wen, who was following behind her, saw Meng Fu's appearance and seemed to have finally lost patience. She hastily ran forward, stretched out her hand, wanting to support her, "Your Highness, be careful, let me help you."

  "Get out, get out of my sight." Meng Bufei roughly pushed her away. The girl, caught off guard, stumbled backward several steps before barely managing to steady herself.

  Meng Fu Ying was about to continue walking forward when his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, the force of which was somewhat strong, and the palm of that hand was also somewhat large.

  Meng Fu Ying couldn't help but raise her eyes to look over, and was shocked to see Xuan Yuan Fan! How could Xuan Yuan Fan appear here at this time?

  Is it a coincidence? Or is it also designed by that person. If so, then the coincidence can be let go, if it's also arranged by that person.

  So she really had to admire that person's abilities, actually even Xuan Yuan Fan was calculated into it.

  "What's wrong?" Xuan Yuanfan still held her tightly, seemingly unaware of his own loss of composure, and the low voice was full of concern.

  His concerned words and worried expression made Meng Fuyao startled once again.

  She still remembered that once in the imperial palace, she heard Xuan Yuan Fan defending her, at that time, she was a little surprised.

  At this moment, seeing the undisguised worry on his face, or perhaps it was a worry that hadn't had time to be concealed yet, a faint sweat seeped out from the palm of my hand.

  She now wouldn't think that Xuan Yuan Fan's appearance here at this moment is just a coincidence, because the concern on his face is enough to explain everything.

  Who is the person behind her back? She can even use Xuan Yuanfan's thoughts about her, and she believes that Xuan Yuanfan is not a rash or impulsive person, so even if he cares about her in his heart, it's unlikely that he will easily show it.

  After all, she had long been chosen by Xuan Yuan Ye as his queen.

  But the person behind it all knew even this and cleverly took advantage of it.

  Xuanyuan Fan had finished his morning court, so Xuanyuan Ye must have also ended his. At this time, it was almost time for him to come and pay his respects to Rong Fei.

  And this is the only way to the Soft Heart Palace.

  What he arranged was absolutely perfect, step by step, everything was seamless, without leaving any room for error.

  "What's going on, why do you look so terrible?" Xuan Yuanfan saw that she wasn't speaking and seemed to become even more anxious, his hand grasping her arm tightened slightly as he gently shook her.

  A pair of eyes stared straight at her, and in the depths of those eyes, there was obvious worry and tension.

  "I'm fine, Your Highness, please let go." Meng Fuying secretly took a deep breath in her heart. It seemed that she had acted too realistically, so Xuan Yuanfan saw her "lost soul" appearance and forgot the necessary courtesy.

  "Nothing wrong? Why does your face look so terrible?" Xuan Yuanfan heard her say this, but he was even more worried in his heart, and asked again in a hurry.

  Just saw her dazed and heartbroken expression, for a moment, it seemed like everything was forgotten, only feeling a sudden sharp pain in the heart, then without thinking, grabbed her.

  At this moment, seeing her slight shyness, he became even more worried in his heart.

  Was it because Seventh Brother was not good to her?

  "What are you doing?" Just then, a voice with obvious anger suddenly rang out, and Xuan Yuan Ye quickly walked over with a gloomy face and a cold expression.

  Meng Fu's heart secretly laughed coldly again, and indeed, she had been calculated by that person. He was really high, truly high.

  First, let her misunderstand Xuan Yuan Ye, then let Xuan Yuan Ye catch her and Xuan Yuan Fan holding hands, and let Xuan Yuan Ye misunderstand her again. In this way, the two of them will become more and more unclear about each other.

  Can't help but say, that person's linked plan was really used too well.

  But this linked plan has not ended yet, and it is impossible to end like this. She and Xuan Yuan Ye can only continue to plot against each other in order to find out who the real mastermind is.

  At this moment, Xuan Yuan Ye's face was filled with genuine vinegar, especially when he saw Xuan Yuan Fan tightly holding Meng Fu Ying's hand, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

  Xuanyuan Ye just wanted to reach out and pull away Xuanyuan Fan's hand, but Meng Fuying slightly struggled free from Xuanyuan Fan's grasp. Then, she suddenly walked towards Xuanyuan Ye and shouted, "Your Highness asks us what we are doing? Why doesn't Your Highness first explain what you have done?"

  Meng Fu Ying furiously roared at Xuan Yuan Ye while secretly giving him a signal.

  Xuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood her meaning.

  "This king has done..." Xuan Yuan Ye just wanted to cooperate with her meaning and ask further, but at this moment, a small eunuch next to the emperor hurriedly ran over, his face anxious, saying "Your Highness, the Emperor asks you to go immediately. He says it's an urgent matter."

  Xuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, his eyes flashing slightly as he looked at Meng Cuiying, as if he had thought of something. The hand hidden in his sleeve clenched tightly, then he quickly turned around and followed the small eunuch, hastily leaving.

  Meng Fu Ying only felt that in her heart, several cold intentions had secretly passed through. It seemed that she still underestimated the ferocity of that person.

  The scene was deliberately designed, and Xuan Yuan Ye was deliberately allowed to bump into him. However, no opportunity for explanation was given to either of them, which would only deepen the misunderstanding between the two people.

  If Xuan Yuan Ye hadn't come to find her last night, today's incident would have happened and no matter how much trust there was between them, it would have been misunderstood.

  Moreover, she had just returned to the Wang Fu and had only gotten along with Xuan Yuan Ye for a day. Could the trust built in one day withstand such turmoil?

  Thinking back, this step-by-step linked plan, at this moment, Meng Fu Ying truly felt a chill run down her spine, an extremely terrifying coldness, because that person was simply too formidable.

  She was originally suspicious of Rong Fei, but she was very certain that even if Rong Fei was extremely capable, it would still be impossible for her to design all of this by herself.

  Moreover, now that something has caused the Emperor to hastily summon Xuan Yuan Ye, it's probably absolutely not a trivial matter.

  Yesterday's incident that made Xuan Yuan Ye leave was already serious enough, but today's incident is likely to be even more severe.

  She believes that all these things absolutely cannot be just a coincidence, it's absolutely impossible.

  "What's going on?" Xuan Yuanfan saw her face getting uglier and couldn't help but walk forward again, asking worriedly.

  Although she knew that she was now the queen of Seventh Brother, there were some things he shouldn't interfere with and some words he should say.

  However, seeing her current state, his heart seemed to be suddenly grasped by something, making him unable to care about so many things for the time being.

  He took a deep breath, and Xuan Yuan Fan's lips slightly curled up, hesitating for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Seventh Brother, did he treat you badly?"

  His voice was laced with a hint of caution, a dash of tension, and seemingly a pinch of hesitation, knowing he shouldn't ask, yet still uttering the words.

  Meng Fu Ying slightly raised her eyes and looked at him for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

  To be honest, she really didn't want him to have any misunderstandings, because at this moment, she had already seen through Xuan Yuan Fan's thoughts. So, she didn't want him to misunderstand that Xuan Yuan Ye was not good to her, and have unnecessary expectations in his heart.

  However, at this moment, she couldn't and didn't dare to explain that the person behind the scenes was too powerful, too sinister, and what's more, that person was still in hiding, so she didn't dare to be careless for a single moment.

  In case she noticed anything unusual, her and Xuan Yuan Ye's plan would be completely ruined.

  "I'm going back." It can't be explained, so it's better to say nothing. Meng Fu Ying slightly lowered her eyes and then wanted to return to He Shou Gong.

  "Is it? Is he treating you badly?" But Xuan Yuanfan, however, was reluctant to let go so easily, and quickly grasped her again, asking anxiously.

  At this moment, the voice was not only filled with worry and tension, but also had a hint of anger, directed at Xuan Yuan Ye.

  She never thought that Xuan Yuan Fan would be so excited, and in this harem, he would be so regardless of each other's identity, entwined and unclear.

  Doesn't he know that in this imperial palace, treating her like this will only lead to more misunderstandings?

  If he really cared about her, he shouldn't have been so entangled with her anymore.

  At this point, I couldn't help but feel a few more regrets in my heart, and just wanted to shake him off.

  Just then, Mingfei had already walked out of Rouxin Palace and saw Xuan Yuanfan pulling Meng Fu Ying. Her face sank involuntarily, and she shouted angrily, "Fan'er, what are you doing?"

  Xuanyuan Fan was startled, quickly turning his gaze towards Mingfei. His face changed slightly as he loosened his grip on Meng Cuiying's hand.

  "Mother." Xuan Yuanfan seemed to have realized his mistake this time, and he slightly lowered his eyes, calling out in a low voice.

  Mingfei is Xuan Yuanfan's birth mother.

  "How did you end up here?" Ming Fei's eyes blazed with anger, fiercely staring at Meng Fu Ying for a moment before turning to ask Xuan Yuan Fan again.

  Ming Fei asked like this, Meng Ye Ying immediately understood that Xuan Yuan Fan appeared here, and Ming Fei absolutely did not know about it beforehand.

  "I just went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, and the palace maid said that she had come to Roucheng Palace, so I came over too, thinking it would be a good opportunity to also pay respects to Concubine Ru."

  Xuanyuan Fan explained in a low voice, his words were reasonable and coincidental, which also solved Meng Fuying's doubts. The person behind him was indeed calculated enough.

  Mingfei was in Rouxin Palace when Xuan Yuan Fan came to Roufei Palace, and coincidentally, he ran into her.

  Ming Fei heard Xuan Yuan Fan's words and looked at Meng Fu Ying again, the anger in her eyes rising uncontrollably.

  She took another step forward, standing in front of Meng Cuo Ying and said harshly, "You shameless woman, you actually seduced the prince in the palace, what's wrong with you? Being dumped by Seventh Prince, do you want to seduce Fan Er now? You shameless vixen."

  Ming Fei's words became increasingly unpleasant, her emotions also becoming more and more agitated, her hand suddenly raised and slapped towards Meng Cuiying's face.

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes sank, and she was about to dodge.

  "Empress." But Xuan Yuan Fan was a step faster, grasping Ming Fei's hand, and in his gaze towards Ming Fei, there also flashed a few hints of anger.

  "Do you still want to protect her?" Ming Fei was blocked by Xuan Yuan Fan, and she was even more furious, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be spitting out fire.

  "You actually protected this fox spirit, and you even dare to block the Empress Dowager." Mingfei scolded again in anger, also wanting to quickly shake off Xuan Yuanfan's hand, but Xuan Yuanfan grasped it even tighter, not giving her any chance to shake him off.

  "Sorry." Xuan Yuanfan looked at Meng Cuiying, his face full of apology. He hadn't expected Ming Fei to come out at this time, nor had he expected her to scold Meng Cuiying like that.

  Xuanyuan Fan disregarded Mingfei's opposition and wanted to pull her away.

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes sank slightly, but she didn't say a word.

  The appearance of Ming Fei is probably not just a coincidence, or it was also arranged by that person.

  If she had arrived a little earlier, she would have met Xuan Yuan Ye. If she had arrived a little later, she would have left with Xuan Yuan Fan.

  So it seems that Mingfei appeared at just the right time.

  Mei Fei and Liu Fei, who had come out with Ming Fei, had been watching the commotion earlier. Now, seeing Xuan Yuan Fan pulling Ming Fei away, they also walked over.

  "Huh, this woman, what's her real ability anyway? She even managed to seduce our Eighth Master." The Empress's words were as venomous as ever.

  He paused for a moment, glanced at Meng Fu Ying with a profound meaning, and then said again, "Look, for the sake of a woman, even his own mother is not spared. Is there a son who would pull his own mother like this?"

  Xuan Yuan Fan's body stiffened slightly, he couldn't compare with Xuan Yuan Ye.

  Xuanyuan Ye can ignore anyone as long as he wants to do something, even if the Emperor himself opposes it.

  However, Xuan Yuanfan did not have that kind of demeanor.

  So at this moment, he heard the words of Mei Fei and didn't dare to forcibly pull Ming Fei again. However, holding onto Ming Fei's hand, he still didn't dare let go, fearing that Ming Fei would go and hit Meng Fu Ying again.

  "Fox spirit, don't you even look at your own virtue? You actually seduced the son of this palace. This palace will tear you apart, you fox spirit." Mingfei saw that Xuan Yuanfan was no longer holding her back, and she shouted again in anger.

  Her voice grew louder and louder, so angry that she didn't care about anything else, attracting the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to gather around.

  If it were usual times, Meng Cuo Ying would definitely not let her scold her, but at this moment, for the sake of the next plan, she secretly took a deep breath and endured.

  Slightly lowering her head, she concealed all her emotions, and such an expression, in the eyes of others, seemed to be a very sad look.

  A barking dog never bites.

  In this imperial palace, those who scold you loudly are not the most dangerous ones. This Mingfei is actually also completely used by others.

  She believes that after this commotion, it won't be long before the news of her seducing Xuan Yuanfan will spread far and wide.

  This is really ruthless, this step-by-step linked plan is truly too ruthless.

  The original thing was spread out again with such an unfavorable rumor about her, wanting to completely put her to death.

  Suddenly felt that person, wasn't just wanting to create misunderstandings between her and Xuan Yu Yan...

  "Empress Dowager, stop talking, you must consider your own status." Xuan Yuanfan really couldn't listen to it anymore.

  And seeing Meng Fu Ying with her head hung low, looking very 'heartbroken', there was even more remorse in her eyes.

  At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else and pulled Mingfei away once again.

  This time, he no longer cared about Ming Fei's strong protests, nor did he bother to pay attention to what Mei Fei and the others thought or said.

  It seems that this time, Xuan Yuanfan was provoked.

  "Haha, amazing! You've actually caused another mother and son to become estranged." Consort Mei seemed unwilling to let Meng Cuiying off so easily, and once again looked at her with a mocking expression.

  "Never mind, let's go, don't say anything more. If the Emperor sees it, it won't be good." It seems that Princess Liu is a bit timid, seeing that Concubine Mei still refused to give in, she whispered to persuade her.

  Mei Fei heard her say that, and it was clear that she also had some reservations. She glared at Meng Fu Ying again, then walked forward with a proud face, swaying her hips.

  Mei Fei was about to leave and would definitely have to pass in front of Meng Cuo Ying. Mei Fei's head was held high, looking down on Meng Cuo Ying with great disdain.

  Liu Fei stood opposite, but was very low-key, slightly lowering her eyelids, following behind Mei Fei, a few meters away.

  Meng Fu Ying still lowered her eyelids and didn't hurry to leave.

  It seems like they're going to let Concubine Mei and the others go first.

  Just as Concubine Mei was about to walk in front of her, her hand seemed extremely casual, scratching her hair.

  However, her fingers slightly trembled, and a very strange fragrance quickly sprayed onto Consort Mei's face.

  The concubine seemed to have also smelled the fragrance, but she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a sudden transmission from somewhere.

  Walked to Meng Fu Ying's face, once again coldly swept her a glance, the corner of his mouth was filled with mockery, and he lowered his voice slightly, saying, "Go back and take a look at yourself first."

  Meng Fu Ying didn't raise his head, but in his eyes, there was a hint of obvious amusement.

  Good, very good, next time, I'm afraid everyone will see what kind of moral character you have.

  She had just given it to Mei Fei, but it was more than just an ordinary perfume.

  Although it is unknown whether this matter has anything to do with Mei Fei, if something unexpected happens to Mei Fei, it will inevitably cause some disturbance.

  After all, Mei Fei is now back from Rou Xin Palace, so Rou Fei's side must be involved, and the other two consorts are also together, definitely suspicious.

  So, this matter, whether it's related to Rong Fei or Ming Fei, the subsequent events will probably ruin their plans to some extent.

  Just thinking about it, her affair will definitely reach the empress dowager's ears later.

  She really didn't want to worry the Empress Dowager.

  By the way, what about Xuan Yuan Ye?

  As soon as Xuan Yuan Ye entered the imperial study, he was taken aback by the emperor's gloomy and solemn expression.

  "Father King, what's going on?" Xuan Yuan Ye, who rarely spoke up in front of others, asked proactively this time.

  Because he rarely saw the emperor, his face was so solemn.

  "Take a look first." The emperor's eyes glanced at him, flashing slightly, but his face became even more solemn, handing over a sealed letter to Xuan Yuan Ye.

  Xuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly stretched out his hand to take the letter, and his eyes also quickly looked over.

  When he saw the content on it, his face also suddenly turned gloomy, and in a pair of astonished eyes, there was also a hint of worry.

  "How is this possible?" Xuan Yuan Ye was always extremely calm, no matter what he was dealing with, he could always remain unruffled, but at this moment, he was also completely stunned.

  Holding the letter in his hand, he seemed to tremble slightly.

  "This is a secret letter that has just been received, and I dare not make it public, for fear of causing panic among the people." The emperor's eyes narrowed again, and he slowly opened his mouth to speak, his voice also filled with heaviness and worry.

  He paused for a moment and then added, "And even less want to let Ruo Er know."

  "Aren't we just receiving good news the other day?" Xuan Yuan Ye's hand, which was holding the letter, tightened slightly again, and his eyes also hid a hint of heaviness.

  "So, I also find this matter somewhat strange, which is why I specifically asked you to come over." The Emperor heard Xuan Yuan Ye's words and a pair of eyes quickly flashed with a hint of doubt, then again spoke with a serious face.

  "The letter says that it was an enemy who launched a surprise attack at night and severely injured the Marquis, but fearing that the military would panic, they did not dare to make it public, only asking the imperial court to quickly send troops for rescue." The emperor's eyebrows slightly furrowed, saying thoughtfully.

  "It's reasonable to say that, but Cloud Sky's skill and caution are clear to me, how could he possibly be easily injured?"

  "So, Father King suspects that this letter may be fake." Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he spoke slowly, word by word.

  "Yes, there are some doubts, so I dare not make this news public." The emperor let out a slight sigh, his face more contemplative.

  The words paused slightly, then continued, "But even if there are suspicions, I still can't ignore them. That's why I specifically called you here, to secretly send someone to investigate. Of course, in case of any unexpected events, we must also quickly mobilize the troops."

  "Yes, I understand." Xuan Yuan Ye nodded slightly in response. He and the Emperor were thinking alike, although he had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to be careless at all.

  "This matter, let's not tell the Empress for now, lest she worries. Perhaps... it's just..." The Emperor thought for a moment before slowly speaking.

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyes widened slightly as he hesitated for a moment, this matter, he definitely wouldn't let her know, if she found out, she might even go to the border herself.

  He knew her too well; although she was usually extremely calm in her actions, once she knew that her loved ones were in danger.

  She didn't care about anything anymore.

  Just like she knew after the empress dowager fell ill, she couldn't avoid him and came back herself.

  "About those women, you won't blame the Emperor, will you?" The Emperor saw that Xuan Yuan Ye didn't respond, but his face was somewhat gloomy, and he asked again in a low voice.

  "I understand what Your Majesty means." Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes slightly lifted, looking at the Emperor, and then slowly spoke word by word. His voice carried a strange heaviness, as well as a hint of pain that was not difficult to detect.

  "Well, you understand, after all these years, I don't know if our guesses are correct or not, I don't know if she is still...?" The emperor's eyes also flashed with a hint of sadness, and his murmured voice seemed to carry a slight tremble.

  "It must be correct, nothing will go wrong." Xuan Yuan Ye suddenly interrupted the emperor's words, his voice filled with unprecedented excitement.

  The emperor looked at him with a slightly heavy gaze, and when he saw the pain in his eyes, he secretly sighed and muttered again, "I hope so."

  The words paused slightly, then asked again, "Won't Rufeng misunderstand you? Yesterday, I saw her seem extremely calm, her reaction was quite strange to me."

  Xuanyuan Yan quickly hid the pain in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he said in a low voice, "Yesterday, she didn't know at all."

  If she knew, it definitely wouldn't be so calm anymore. Thinking of this, in her heart, finally started to care about him a bit. In Xuan Yuan Ye's heart, a warm feeling involuntarily spread through.

  "Oh, I see. No wonder." The emperor's lips also curled up slightly with a faint smile, "However, today will definitely not be calm again."

  "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know what to do. As for Rong Er's side, you don't have to worry either. She will handle everything well." Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes flickered slightly before he continued speaking slowly again.

  For her, he was absolutely confident, this time, he must uncover that person's true face.

  "Well said, I also believe in that girl's ability." The emperor nodded slightly, and his voice was also a few degrees more relaxed.

  Xuanyuan Ye came out of the imperial study room, did not go to Rong Fei's side again, nor did he go to the empress dowager's side, but directly left the palace.

  "Your Highness, that little girl from yesterday was actually ravished by someone and this morning, Mingfei had a big argument with Ruo Fei. Coincidentally, Wangfei was also at Ruo Fei's place at the time." As soon as they left the palace, Su Feng told Xuan Yuan Ye all the news he had gathered.

  Xuanyuan Yong's expression changed slightly as she suddenly understood the meaning of the question she had asked earlier in the imperial palace.

  He had long expected that man to have an ulterior motive, but he hadn't thought it would be so ruthless. If he hadn't gone to find her last night and let her know about the matter this morning, she would definitely have misunderstood.

  "Your Highness, I have investigated and found that last night a man indeed entered the young lady's room. He must have been impersonating you to take advantage of her." Qingfeng said, seeing Xuan Yang not responding, he spoke again in a low voice.

  "En." This time Xuan Yuan Ye didn't have too many surprises, since he wasn't at the Wang Fu, it wouldn't be him, naturally another man would be arranged.

  "But that man suddenly died of a violent illness this morning." Shunfeng thought for a moment and said in a low voice again.

  "En." Xuan Yuan Ye responded in a low voice again, he had thought of this point long ago, "No need to pay attention to that person, lest we startle the snake by hitting the grass."

  "Yes, I understand." Rapid Wind replied respectfully.

  She hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "That... there are rumors circulating outside that the princess seduced the Eighth Prince in the palace this morning."

  When she said this, Su Feng's eyes carefully looked at Xuan Yuan Ye, paying attention to his reaction.

  Xuanyuan Ye's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his body involuntarily stiffened.

  He was very clear that she would never do such a thing, and all of this was designed by that person.

  He knew that all the rumors would make her uncomfortable. He really wanted to fly to her side and comfort her now.

  However, he had to harden his heart and say, "Later, have someone collect the queen's clothes and you personally deliver them to Heshou Palace. Tell her that I said she doesn't need to return to the palace."

  That person can only see such a result, so he cannot have the slightest softness in his heart now, otherwise it would not be helping her but harming her instead.

  This time, he didn't just create a misunderstanding between her and him, but wanted to...

  Only by catching the person behind her back can she truly be safe.

  Su Feng was stunned, for a moment, he didn't react, and with a straight gaze, he stared at Xuan Yuan Ye, his face full of astonishment, and involuntarily exclaimed, "Your Highness, you can't really believe it, can you?"

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyes coldly swept over Su Feng, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, before he instructed again, "Do as I say, remember, when you go, don't hide or dodge, go openly and honestly, the more ostentatious, the better."

  "Yes, I understand." Su Feng finally understood Xuan Yuan Ye's meaning and responded repeatedly.

  Yes, he forgot how he went to the Andong Palace last night and met the princess, so naturally he wouldn't fall for the enemy's trick.

  "Your Highness, Fei Ying has returned from investigating yesterday's matter. However, the item was not recovered." Flowing Moon quickly approached Xuan Yuan Ye and said in a hushed tone.

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyes sank slightly, the ability of the flying eagle, he was very clear about it, in this world, as long as it was something he wanted to find, there was nothing that couldn't be found, but this time, he returned empty-handed, it seemed that he had underestimated that person.

  "You immediately go and inform Fei Ying to hurry to the border, check on Hou Ye's situation, and quickly report back." Xuan Yuan Ye suddenly looked at Liu Yue, his face serious as he spoke.

  Now, investigating what happened on Master Hou's side is the most important thing.

  He must find out the truth before she knows about it and can't let her worry.

  "Yes." Liu Yue was slightly stunned, but seeing Xuan Yuan Ye's serious face, she didn't ask anything else and quickly flashed away.

  When Meng Fu Ying returned to He Shou Palace, she noticed that the Empress Dowager's expression was somewhat off and immediately understood that what had just happened might have already reached the Empress Dowager's ears.

  "Shadowy servant, what's going on? Weren't you supposed to go pay your respects to Consort Rou? How did this happen?"

  The empress dowager saw her return and quickly pulled her into the room, asking repeatedly.

  Meng Fu was secretly pondering in her heart whether or not to tell the Empress Dowager everything.

  The current situation has already blown out of proportion and it's impossible to keep it under wraps. It's better to let the empress dowager know the truth.

  Just then, he dismissed everyone and told Empress Dowager about it in detail.

  But at this moment, a sharp and shrill voice came from outside, "The Eighth Prince has arrived."

  Meng Fu's shadow was faintly stunned, and he didn't expect that Xuan Yuan Fan would come so quickly. What does it mean for him to come here now?

  The empress dowager's face sank slightly when she heard it was him, and her eyes, which were gazing at Meng Cuiying, also showed a few more hints of doubt.

  Xuan Yuanfan had already walked in and stood before the Empress Dowager, bowing respectfully. "Greetings to Your Imperial Majesty?"

  "Get up." The empress felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart at this moment, but she wouldn't show it too clearly. She slightly waved her hand, signaling him to get up.

  "Things this morning, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect the Queen Mother to say such things, and even more so, I didn't expect such rumors to spread." Xuan Yuanfan turned to Meng Duiying with a apologetic expression.

  "What's going on?" The empress's face suddenly sank, her eyes staring at Xuan Yuan Fan with a few more severe and cold tones in her voice.

  "Your Majesty, earlier when I went to the Ruo Xin Palace, I happened to run into Seventh Sister. Her complexion didn't look right, so I momentarily forgot myself and went forward to ask her what was wrong. Unfortunately, Mother Empress encountered us and scolded Seventh Sister without asking for an explanation, causing everyone to misunderstand Seventh Sister."

  "Absurd! It's truly absurd. I suppose we've been too lenient with them all along." The Empress Dowager suddenly thundered, "They won't be satisfied until they stir up some trouble."

  "Someone come, go and bring Ming Fei to me." The Empress Dowager was obviously really angry, shouting loudly at Lan Mei beside her.

  "Yes." Lan Mei responded, just wanting to go, a small palace maid rushed over hastily and said urgently, "Empress Dowager, something's wrong, Concubine Mei has gone mad."

  "What? How can this be?" The empress dowager was slightly startled and exclaimed in a low voice.

  "I don't know what happened, but when I went to see Concubine Rou earlier, she was fine. However, after returning from her place, she suddenly started shouting and screaming, then began taking off her clothes in the main hall until she was completely naked. The maids tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen. Now she's alone in the main hall, stark naked, dancing around like a madwoman. It seems like she's possessed by an evil spirit."

  The little palace maid was quite articulate and explained things very clearly.

  "It's absurd, truly absurd." The empress dowager's face turned even uglier upon hearing this. "Let's go, I'll take a look myself."

  Meng Fu Ying hastily supported the Empress Dowager, but Xuan Yuan Fan had just heard that servant girl's words and naturally wouldn't be able to leave, so he could only stay here and wait.

  Arrived at the Moon Temple, I could hear the voice of Concubine Mei singing from afar. Her voice was not bad, but the lyrics were somewhat unseemly. The entire palace grounds were packed with people, and those palace maids who heard her song also blushed bright red with shame.

  Fortunately, the palace maid inside was still loyal to Mei Fei, and she closed the door tightly, so that no one could see what was happening inside, and it didn't make everyone see a more unbearable scene.

  The empress dowager walked closer and heard the voice. Her eyes grew more angry, and she said in a low tone, "What is going on today?"

  The palace maids and eunuchs outside slightly lowered their heads and stepped aside as soon as they saw the empress dowager arrive.

  Some of the timid ones also retreated in a flurry.

  After the Empress Dowager entered, the palace maids of the Moon Quarters seemed to have finally let out a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty, look at Her Highness..."

  "Hurry up and have someone hold him down, what is this attitude?" The Empress's face grew increasingly ugly as she shouted her orders.

  "After returning to the palace, all the maids couldn't help but restrain the princess. The situation inside was also not daring enough to let the guards enter." That person, a small palace maid, was so anxious that she almost cried out loud.

  The concubines of each palace also rushed over, in this imperial palace, as soon as there was a stir, it immediately spread to everyone, and they all knew in their hearts that they had come to watch the excitement.

  Ming Fei and Liu Fei rushed over one after another, saw the Empress Dowager, and first paid their respects with a bow. Then they asked in surprise, "What's wrong with this little sister?"

  Ming Fei's eyes showed a hint of schadenfreude, while Liu Fei's face had a few points of anxiety.

  "Mind your own business, you still owe me an explanation." The Empress Dowager couldn't help but understand Mingfei's thoughts and coldly swept her with a glance, speaking in anger.

  Ming Fei's body slightly shrunk, and she didn't dare to make a sound again. She only looked at Meng Fu Ying standing beside the Empress Dowager, with more hatred in her eyes.

  "Empress Dowager, this can't be true, has she really been possessed by an evil spirit?" Meng Fu Ying naturally knew what was going on with Mei Fei, but intentionally said with a surprised face.

  "It does look like it." Princess Liu also nodded slightly and said.

  "But this morning, the Empress was still fine, it was only after she returned from Consort Rou's place that she suddenly became like this." A small palace maid from the Yuequ Palace hastily said.

  "Isn't it that you've brought some unclean thing from Consort Rong's side?" Consort Ming, who had originally been too afraid of the Empress Dowager to speak up, couldn't help but say again. This Consort Ming was truly a troublemaker.

  "Are you implying that there's something unclean on my side?" Consort Ming asked, her voice tinged with a hint of anger. Just then, Consort Rou also hurried over and chimed in, having caught the tail end of Consort Ming's words.

  "Ah, sister is here too. Little sister doesn't have any other meaning, it's all for the good of big sister. If there really is something unclean on big sister's side, then quickly let someone catch it and put your mind at ease. Otherwise, what if one day big sister gets hurt? That would be terrible." Mingfei looked at Roufei with a face full of smiles, her tone completely changed.

  However, the words paused slightly and then turned to the empress dowager, saying with a flattering face: "Empress Dowager, is this what you mean?"

  "Yes, Mingfei is right. If there's indeed something unclean, we should get rid of it quickly. Let's invite a few masters to come and perform a ritual at Roucheng Palace for a day." The empress dowager said after a moment of contemplation.

  Roufei's face sank slightly, obviously somewhat dissatisfied, but since it was the Empress Dowager's order, she naturally didn't dare to disobey.

  Meng Fu Ying secretly grasped the Empress Dowager's hand and wrote a seven-character phrase in her palm.

  The empress dowager was slightly stunned, but immediately understood her meaning and changed her words again, saying: "Looking at Concubine Mei like this, I'm afraid this thing is quite fierce. One day may not be enough, let's do it for seven days. I believe that after seven days, even the most ferocious things will definitely be driven away."

  The words paused for a moment, and upon hearing the concubine's singing, which was getting increasingly unpleasant to listen to, he added again, "This Moon Quenching Palace also needs some renovation."

  Roufei's face looked even more unsightly, but she could only slightly lower her eyelids and respond in a low voice.

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes gazed at Rong Fei without any trace, seeing her slightly lowering her head, and her eyebrows also faintly furrowed.

  If this matter is related to her, then with such a stir, it will definitely disrupt her plan. After all, those monks are making trouble for her, and she won't be able to play tricks again.

  And the chapter method is messed up, and it will definitely be easier to reveal the flaws next.

  If it has nothing to do with her, then there's no harm done. After all, the Empress is doing this for her own good and won't hurt Xuan Yuan Ye's reputation either.

  "You few, go in and directly knock your master unconscious." The empress gazed at the several palace maids outside the Moon Quarters, instructing them in a low voice. If this continues like this, what kind of scene will it be?

  "Yes." The several palace maids were stunned for a moment, then went outside, picked up a few wooden sticks, and forced their way in.

  It's unclear which palace maid it was, but she slammed down on Consort Mei with all her might, finally silencing the latter's chaotic singing.

  "All right, disperse!" The empress turned to the crowd and shouted sternly.

  No one dared to stay longer, and they all left in a hurry.

  Only Rong Fei, when leaving, seemed a bit stiff in her back, still slightly lowering her eyes, as if thinking of something.

  When Meng Fuying supported the Empress Dowager back to Heshou Palace, Xuan Yuanfan had not left yet. He was originally drinking tea brought by palace maids. After seeing the Empress Dowager and Meng Fuying enter, he quickly stood up.

  "Is Fang'er still here?" The empress dowager glanced at him and said in a low voice, it was clear that after what had just happened with Concubine Mei, she did not want to go and reason with Concubine Ming again.

  Actually, rumors like this, if really investigated, will only make things worse and worse, and there is no benefit to Yaya at all. She just got a little too anxious and overlooked this point.

  And now that the Concubine Mei incident has occurred, the previous incident with Shadow can be considered as nothing in comparison, not even worth mentioning.

  And then everyone will definitely go and discuss the matter of Mei Fei.

  Xuan Yuan Fan had already taken his leave. Xuan Yuan Fan was also an intelligent person, and after seeing the Empress Dowager's intention, he understood and slightly bowed to take his leave.

  He had just turned around and hadn't taken a step yet when someone came in to report that the prince's guard, Su Feng, had arrived.

  The empress's eyebrows slightly furrowed, then she said in a low voice, "Let him come in."

  For a moment, Xuan Yuan's footsteps also came to a halt.

  After the swift wind came in, he first paid his respects to the empress dowager, then handed a small package to Meng Fuying's face, secretly taking a deep breath before saying softly, "Princess, the prince ordered me to pack up your things and bring them to you. He also said that you don't need to return to the palace anymore."

  Although he understood what Your Highness meant, it was still extremely difficult for him to say this.

  Meng Fu's eyes widened slightly, and she immediately understood Xuan Yuan Ye's meaning. And since Xuan Yuan Ye had let Su Feng come personally, it was also to tell her that this was his own intention, so that she wouldn't have any doubts.

  She knew that Xuan Yuan Ye was doing this entirely for the sake of the people behind him, so she wouldn't be overly concerned.

  However, on the surface, I still have to pretend, so my body suddenly shook violently, and then I looked at Su Feng with a shocked expression, stuttering and saying, "He, how can he be like this... It was clearly his fault first, but he actually..."

  Her voice at this moment is full of sadness, and her face also can't hide the pain.

  Her face changed, and it was Speedy who was startled for a moment. For a while, he couldn't tell whether she really didn't know or was just acting. However, the prince had instructed him to only deliver the goods and leave without saying anything else.

  Then, Su Feng handed things over to Meng Fu Ying and retreated.

  "What's wrong with you, Meng Fu?" The empress dowager saw Meng Fu's sad face and pulled her over tightly, saying in a slightly heavy tone.

  "Seventh brother, how could he, how could he misunderstand you? I'll go explain it to him right now." Xuan Yuanfan heard this and became even more anxious, speaking as he wanted to head out.

  "Now go, the more you explain, the deeper he'll misunderstand. Just let me off and don't get involved anymore." Meng Fu's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she spoke quickly.

  She knew that Xuan Yuan Fan was really concerned about her, but she couldn't let Xuan Yuan Fan get involved in this matter. This matter was already complicated enough, and she couldn't let things get out of hand and cause more trouble for Xuan Yuan Yan.

  Xuanyuan Fan's body slightly stopped, his eyes slightly turned, looking at her with obvious pain, but he didn't say anything else and slowly left.

  "Alas." The empress gazed at Xuan Yuan Fan's departing back, let out a soft sigh, then turned to Lan Mei and said somewhat wearily, "Lan Mei, take them all down with you. I want to rest for a bit. Having Ying Lian by my side is enough."

  Lan Mei was taken aback for a moment, then respectfully responded and led everyone in retreating.

  "Shadowy head, speak, what is the meaning of this?" The empress waited until everyone had withdrawn before turning to Meng Cuiying and asking in a low voice.

  With an unmistakable hint of worry in his voice.

  Meng Fu Ying did not want to deceive the Empress Dowager any longer, so she told her everything that had happened.

  The empress dowager was stunned, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked in a low voice again, "You suspect Consort Rou."

  Although it was a doubtful remark, it was said with certainty. Otherwise, Shadowy would not have allowed her to hold a seven-day mourning ritual for Rong Feng.

  Meng Fu's shadow was faintly stunned, knowing that nothing could be hidden from the Empress Dowager, and she could only slightly nod her head.

  "Don't worry, this matter will be investigated." The empress dowager didn't say anything else, just softly comforting her.

  After messing around for half a day, the empress dowager was really tired. Meng Fuying helped her onto the bed and sat beside her to keep her company.

  According to the Empress Dowager's intention, all the monks who were invited soon after were arranged to enter the Roucheng Palace. In the following days, the Roucheng Palace would definitely not be peaceful.

  In the evening, Meng Fuying wanted to go and change Qing Zhu's medicine when she had just come out of He Shou Palace, but suddenly found Lan Mei hurrying over somewhat flusteredly.

  As she raised her eyes and saw Meng Fu Ying walking towards her, her body stiffened slightly. Her hand, hidden in her sleeve, flashed quickly, as if hiding something.

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes were not ordinary sharp, so although it was in the dark and Lan Mei's movements were quick, she still discovered.

  Her eyes suddenly sank, could it be that the one who stabbed Qing Zhu was really her...
