“Okay.” Bei Yutang did not refuse.
The palace maid exited the side palace and closed the door thoughtfully. The entire palace was airtight, and the scent of rosemary in the room became stronger and stronger. The palace maid had been standing outside, and soon, she heard the sound of slight footsteps.
“How?” It was a cold male voice.
When Bei Yutang heard this, a smile appeared on her lips.
“She’s already in there and should be smitten by now.”
“Yeah.” Yan Qing responded coldly, “Give this to King Xiaoyao and tell him that an old friend is waiting for her here.”
“Okay.” The palace maid collected the things and left in a hurry.
Yan Qing pushed open the palace door and saw Bei Yutang lying motionless on the bed.
Yan Qing looked at her with cold eyes, “Don’t blame us. We had no choice but to do it. Don’t worry, we will treat the Bei family well after you get out of here, which can be regarded as a reward for your sacrifice this time.”
After Yan Qing finished speaking, he turned and left.
Suddenly, he felt an evil wind blowing behind him. Yan Qing tilted his head but still couldn’t avoid it. When Yan Qing turned his head, a dark shadow appeared in front of his eyes.
With a ‘boom’, Yan Qing fell to the ground.
Bei Yutang took out a powder from her cuff and sprinkled it into the incense burner. The rich rosemary covered up the faint scent.
After Bei Yutang went out, a young eunuch knelt down in front of Bei Yutang.
“Miss, this servant has been specially ordered by the Eldest Young Master to obey the instructions of the Eldest Young Lady.”
When her brother knew about her plan, he told her that there would be someone in the palace who could help, and it seemed that it was the person in front of her. Her brother, a small Imperial Hanlin Academy editor, must have put a lot of effort into inserting one or two chess pieces into the palace.
If the Bei family had support, he would have been promoted long ago with her brother’s talent.
“Do you have any proof?” Bei Yutang asked cautiously.
The young eunuch took out the token from his pocket. Bei Yutang looked at the jade pendant and said to him, “You can help me do two things now.”
“Find the palace maid who left here before, deal with her, and…”
After a while, the young eunuch left quickly.
Bei Yutang closed the side palace door.
On the other side, Yuwen Changyun, who was waiting for the results at the banquet hall, seemed to be having a good time with others, but his eyes looked outside from time to time.
Why hasn’t Yan Qing come back yet?
As long as he comes back, his side will be able to operate easily.
At this moment, a palace maid holding a wine glass came to Yuwen Changyun’s side and whispered: “Prince Jing, someone asked the slave to hand this thing over to you. The Young Master asked you to come over quickly.”
When Yuwen Changyun saw the jade pendant, his pupils shrank slightly and he asked in a deep voice, “Where is he?”
The palace maid seemed to be frightened by his appearance, and her body was trembling slightly, “In, in the side palace.”
“Take me there.”
“Yes.”
Yuwen Changyun stood up, and the cabinet minister beside him, Mr. Wang, asked, “Where is Prince Jing going?”
“Madam has not returned for a long time, so I will go and have a look.” Yuwen Changyun replied with a smile.
The cabinet minister laughed and said, “Prince Jing is really inseparable from the Princess. You have only been separated for such a short time, and you still care about her so much.”
Yuwen Changyun smiled but said nothing.
Yuwen Changyun followed the palace maid out of the main hall. When the two of them reached a place where there was no one, he suddenly grabbed the palace maid’s neck. The palace maid looked at him in astonishment, with a sinister face reflected in her eyes.
“Tell me, who sent you here?” Yuwen Changyun asked sharply.
