In Feiyue Pavilion, Yun Ruoyue looked shocked after hearing Jiu'er and Mo Zhu's report.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Mei, who is already in her forties, actually raised a young child.
Zhou Xing is in his thirties and has not yet gotten married, so there must be something wrong with him. Aunt Mei entrusted all her wealth to him without even knowing more about him.
She really didn't know whether Aunt Mei was innocent or stupid.
She asked Jiu'er and Mo Zhu not to alert others yet, and told them to continue to monitor Aunt Mei.
She had no substantive evidence about what happened last time and could not bring down Mrs. Wei for the time being.
But Mrs. Wei will definitely not let go. She is waiting for the opportunity to eradicate her and Aunt Mei together when Mrs. Wei takes action next time!
As for Xiaoqing, she hasn't found anything unusual about her yet. I'll give her a try next time. If she is really the traitor, she must be found out!

Two days later, while Chu Xuanchen was training troops in the military camp, Yun Ruoyue received a personal message from Eunuch Liu, saying that the emperor wanted to announce her entry into the palace and invite her to dinner.
Yun Ruoyue was stunned, the sun was rising in the west? Emperor Hongyuan actually wanted to invite her to dinner?
She thought, eating is a fake thing, but having a purpose is the real thing.
She originally wanted to wait until Chu Xuanchen returned home before entering the palace with him.
But Eunuch Liu said that the emperor invited her to dinner alone, and the time was urgent, so she could not delay.
She had no choice but to ask Jiu'er to go to the military camp and tell Chu Xuanchen.
She took Feng'er and Eunuch Liu into the palace.
It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. What's supposed to come will eventually come. She still faces the difficulties and goes straight to see what Emperor Hongyuan wants to do!

Soon, Yun Ruoyue was invited to the Guangming Palace, the palace of Emperor Hongyuan.
When she and Feng'er entered the palace, Emperor Hongyuan was already waiting inside, and there were many eunuchs passing around food.
Yun Ruoyue asked Feng'er to wait outside the palace, and she followed Eunuch Liu in.
"I send my greetings to the Emperor. May your Majesty be blessed with peace." As soon as Yun Ruoyue walked in, she bent her knees slightly, put her hands on top of her left knee, and sent her greetings to Emperor Hongyuan.
"Niece-in-law, you are pregnant, so there is no need to be polite. Also, we are all one family, so just call me your uncle." Emperor Hongyuan came up and gave Yun Ruoyue a virtual hand.
"Thank you, uncle." Yun Ruoyue said.
"It's already noon, and I'm hungry too. Come, sit here and have lunch with me." Emperor Hongyuan said, and he had already sat on the dragon chair.
"Yes, uncle." Yun Ruoyue sat down opposite Emperor Hongyuan anxiously.
After all the dishes had been passed around, Emperor Hongyuan said to the eunuchs: "Okay, you have nothing to do here. You all should step aside."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After the eunuchs finished saluting, they left one after another.
Now, Emperor Hongyuan and Yun Ruoyue were the only ones in the hall.
Emperor Hongyuan squinted his eyes and glanced at Yun Ruoyue, his eyes shining like an old fox. He pointed at the dishes and said: "Niece-in-law, you are hungry too, come and eat."
"Thank you, uncle."
Emperor Hongyuan did not directly state the purpose of summoning her, so Yun Ruoyue felt a little uneasy.
Looking at the delicacies on the table, Yun Ruoyue has no appetite at all. This is simply a Hongmen Banquet!
When she saw Emperor Hongyuan pick up the chopsticks, she also picked up the chopsticks, put some vegetables in the bowl, and ate slowly.
At the dinner table, after taking a few bites of the food, Emperor Hongyuan suddenly looked at Yun Ruoyue and got to the point, "I heard that Xuan Chen treats you well, and your relationship is very good now?"
Yun Ruoyue was startled.
She was a chess piece placed by the emperor beside Chu Xuanchen. If she responded with affection, wouldn't she be betraying the emperor?
