When the two maids Qingchen and Taxue brought warm wine to the Moon Pavilion, they met Su Yueming who was returning halfway. Her face was cold and her cheeks were covered with sweat. Under the moonlight,
Shiny.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Texue stepped forward to meet her, only to find that her whole body was trembling and she was holding her tightly with both hands.
Su Yueming only said, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't drink anymore. Let's rest early."
"Yes." The two of them hurriedly stepped forward and waited for her to return to the room.
After returning to the room, she dismissed all the maids and stayed in the room alone. After everyone had left, she took out the jade pendant tightly in her hand.
This...is the prince's thing!
This shows that the prince is really not dead. He is now being imprisoned somewhere in the Beiyuan Palace by Murong Canghai!
After reaching this conclusion, she felt inexplicably excited.
However, from what the two guards said just now, the prince seemed to be in a bad situation, no, she had to find him as soon as possible.
"Murong Canghai..." She murmured to herself, Murong Canghai's name slowly flowing out of her mouth.

Mrs. Pei entered the palace and met the Queen Mother. She tearfully described Pei Nanshuang's injury and paralysis, and finally knelt on the ground and said -
"Queen Mother, please make the decision for Nan Shuang. She is still a girl who has not yet left the palace. It is a great shame and humiliation for her to be divorced by the King of Beiyuan. Now that she is in such a state, how can we, mother and daughter, live in the future?"
The Queen Mother was also surprised, "The princess of Dazhou is so arrogant and dares to frame Nan Shuang like this?"
Mrs. Pei said, "Not only that, starting from midnight tomorrow, my husband will go to the Prince's Mansion in the North Courtyard to plead guilty. He will kneel at the gate of the Prince's Mansion for three days and three nights to apologize to her!"
"That's unreasonable!" After hearing this, the Queen Mother slapped her palm on the table, and one of the armors on her fingers fell out, "It's terrible! A dignified senator from three dynasties kneeling down on her, a daughter of a subjugated country, is simply undermining the prestige of our country, Great Qin!"
The King of Beiyuan would let such a thing happen!"
"But..." Mrs. Pei hesitated and said, "This witch is protected by the King of the North Campus. She may be so rampant with the permission of the King."
"Hmph!" The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Even the King of the North Campus cannot do anything that will disgrace the country! However, this matter is an opportunity."
"The Queen Mother means..." Mrs. Pei didn't understand what she meant.
"The King of Beiyuan not only has a large number of troops, he has pacified the seven kingdoms and unified the Central Plains. His reputation in the court and among the people is very high. If the Ruoai family comes to seek justice for Nanshuang, they are just trying to scare the enemy away.
Why not, take advantage of this incident of Pei Shinian's daughter who knelt down under a tree and subjugated the country to let the world see the arrogant and extravagant king of Beiyuan who ignored the country's prestige for the sake of beauty... Go back quickly and try your best to expand this matter in private. By then
Let all the people in the city go to the front gate of the North Courtyard to watch, and everyone will definitely complain about Pei Shinian, which will trigger resentment against Murong Canghai..." The Queen Mother set her abacus.
There was a fleeting look of dissatisfaction on Mrs. Pei's face, but she said, "The Queen Mother is wise."
But she was secretly thinking that the Queen Mother was just using the Pei family as a tool to help her regain imperial power.
Da Qin, harem.
The little emperor had gone to bed, and Queen Pei had taken off her phoenix robe. She leaned on the bedside and looked at her sleeping husband carefully through the candlelight.
