Within ten days, Pei Wuyan and Yu Qingfeng went to the East Palace three times and were turned away three times. They didn't even see the prince's confidant, the prince.

Pei Wuyan concluded that something must have happened to Qi Jinglin.

Yu Qingfeng asked back: "Are you so sure? It can't be that the prince is still angry with you? Are you too confident in your relationship?"

Pei Wuyan replied as he went out: "That's why you are so confident."

Yu Qingfeng quickened her pace to keep up.

Pei Wuyan made an impromptu decision early in the morning. He had already changed into his official uniform, but Yu Qingfeng still dressed up at home. He originally thought of asking Pei Wuyan to wait until she went back to change into official uniform, but then he thought about it, casual clothes also have the advantages of casual clothes.

But she still asked Pei Wuyan to wait for her and put on his official uniform.

Yu Qingfeng specially asked the groom to park the carriage some distance away from the East Palace, got off the carriage alone in casual clothes, and wandered to the entrance of the East Palace.

These days, the guards at the gate of the East Palace only know that there is a female official in Dali Temple, who is the future concubine of the Dali Temple Minister. She followed Pei Wuyan into the palace. Since she is the Dali Temple Minister's woman, they don't dare to stare at her face carefully. Every time

They all bowed their heads in salute.

Yu Qingfeng was originally worried about whether she would be recognized. Fortunately, because of her clothes and her saddle, none of the guards recognized her.

"Who dares to break into the East Palace!" The guard shouted fiercely at Yu Qingfeng from afar, and even raised his sword.

Alas, with different status, the treatment is very different. The feeling of being a civilian has been gone for a long time, but it is still so bad.

"Brother, guard, I'm here to find a relative. My cousin works in the East Palace. Her name is Cheng Minrong, and she is a celebrity around His Highness the Crown Prince. Could you please let me know." Yu Qingfeng lowered her head, for fear of being recognized.

Yu Qingfeng expected that everyone in the East Palace should know Cheng Minrong's name, just like everyone in Dali Temple knew her as Yu Qingfeng. However, to be on the safe side, Yu Qingfeng still took out the broken silver and planned to put some into it.

The prince, who was usually not a womanizer, only favored a maidservant. It was strange that this kind of thing could not be spread. Since she was a relative of the famous Cheng Minrong, Yu Qingfeng expected that the guards would not be too embarrassed, and maybe they could really find someone to understand.

Ichiban.

"Where is Cheng Minrong? Come on, this is not the place you should be." The guards looked at each other and were obviously stunned. A man who seemed to have the highest position came from behind and dismissed Yu Qingfeng rudely.

"How could it not be possible? I have been here before, and Min Rong even brought me in. I have also met His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness treats Min Rong..."

The guard pushed Yu Qingfeng, "That's nonsense!"

Yu Qingfeng almost fell down, but after she regained her balance, she wanted to continue asking questions.

The youngest guard at the edge winked at Yu Qingfeng and shook his head.

Yu Qingfeng found a breakthrough, then stepped aside, found a corner to hide from others, and waited for the young guard to come over on his own initiative.

Sure enough, not long after, the young guard came towards the corner where Yu Qingfeng was. He was so sneaky that he could tell that he had sneaked in under the pretext of going to the hut.

As soon as the guard saw Yu Qingfeng, he stared at Yu Qingfeng's purse just like when he winked at her.

Yu Qingfeng hurriedly gave him the broken silver she had just prepared to use as a guard, "Little brother, do you recognize my cousin Cheng Minrong?"

The little guard collected the broken silver and said, "I recognize her. His Highness always took her with him when he went out to play in the palace. I have seen her before."

"I want to see her, please go and send her a message."

The little guard was still staring at Yu Qingfeng's purse.

Well, young people who have just started working are short of money, Yu Qingfeng understands!

Yu Qingfeng took out another piece of broken silver and gave it to him.

"I can't send a message, Cheng Minrong is not in the East Palace now."

"How? Where did you go?"

The little guard still didn't speak.

Yu Qingfeng rolled her eyes, who could bear to squeeze out toothpaste like this? She directly took out a couple of coins and said, "Just give me a nice word."

The little guard didn't have much time. When he saw the money, he immediately spoke at an alarming speed: "One month ago, His Highness entertained the envoy of the Great Dian Kingdom and gave Cheng Minrong to the envoy as his concubine. Twenty days ago, Cheng Minrong followed the envoy.

I am returning to Dadian Kingdom together."

"Impossible!" Yu Qingfeng shouted in surprise and took back the silver, unwilling to give real money to a liar who made up random things.

The little guard saw that the cooked duck could still fly. He came up to grab it, "What I said is true! Bring it to you."

Yu Qingfeng lost her silver in an instant as she could not overtake the guards.

The guard took the money and turned around and left.

Yu Qingfeng still wanted to chase, but heard Pei Wuyan's voice coming from behind.

"Forget it, give it to him."

Yu Qingfeng turned around and saw Pei Wuyan, and her heart felt warm. Pei Wuyan must have been hiding by her side to protect her secretly.

"How much is my monthly salary, why should I give it to a liar..." Yu Qingfeng secretly complained to her boss about the low salary.

Pei Wuyan took Yu Qingfeng's hand and pulled her towards the carriage, "From now on, my monthly salary will be yours. Take a long-term view."

Yu Qingfeng pursed her lips and snickered, then followed Pei Wuyan obediently.

Arriving in front of the carriage, Pei Wuyan asked Yu Qingfeng to get up first and change into the official uniform he brought.

Yu Qingfeng changed the official position on the carriage alone, and then called Pei Wuyan to get on the carriage.

"Did you hear it too? Qi Jinglin gave Cheng Minrong to the envoy of the Dian Kingdom. How is this possible?" Yu Qingfeng waved her hands repeatedly.

"Someone must have falsely conveyed the decree. I have told you a long time ago that something must have happened to the prince. He has not seen me for so long. He is probably under house arrest, along with the prince." Pei Wuyan opened the window and looked around.

Make sure no one is eavesdropping around, "The other party uses Cheng Minrong as a threat, which is enough to turn the prince into a puppet. I have to meet the prince today no matter what."

"House arrest? Gao Manpeng? Did the details of the East Palace know that we have found out that the master behind the scenes is him? But even so, Gao Manpeng is too bold to dare to directly put the prince under house arrest, right?"

Pei Wuyan frowned deeply, "Maybe it's Gao Manpeng, maybe... it's the national master."

"National Preceptor, Dongfang Zhao?" Yu Qingfeng realized later that the big villain in the s ancient puppet plot is National Preceptor Dongfang Zhao.

It's not just her, Yu Qingfeng, who plays a role in the drama, but Qi Jinglin, who is obviously the leading actor here, also plays a supporting role there.

Pei Wuyan is obviously the leading actor there, but he has to be cast as a supporting role here.

After the plots of the two dramas overlapped, everything went off the track and everything became uncontrollable. Pei Wuyan will definitely not stand by and watch alone and be beautiful in a B-level web drama.

"Who dares to put the prince under house arrest? You will find out once you try." Pei Wuyan was thoughtful, with a solemn look on his face.

When he arrived at the entrance of the East Palace, Pei Wuyan got out of the car and talked to the leader of the guards.

"I have something important that I must personally report to His Highness the Crown Prince. Please inform me."

"Master Pei, His Highness the Crown Prince has an order not to see you."

"Your Highness did not see me because of Princess Pingyao's incident, and it is precisely because of Princess Pingyao's incident that I asked to see you this time. There are other details in the case, which must be reported in person. You can inform me, but if the prince still does not see you for this reason," Pei Wuyan challenged

He smiled and said playfully, "It's not in line with common sense. The prince's abnormality is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country. I have no choice but to go and see him."

The leader of the guards smiled dryly and nodded, asked Pei Wuyan to wait a moment, and trotted off to report.

Not long after, the chief guard personally greeted him and led the carriage into the East Palace, but the first step was to open the carriage door and let him see if there was anyone else inside.

"Inside the car is Yu Qingfeng, the director of Dali Temple." Pei Wuyan motioned to the Dali Temple guards to open the door.

Yu Qingfeng did not get out of the car, kept a distance from the guards, and made a hasty appearance.

All the guards hurriedly lowered their heads when they saw Yu Qingfeng's outfit. Only the little guard who had just been dressed by Yu Qingfeng saw her appearance clearly and turned pale with fear.

Since only the little guard was watching her, it was easy to handle. Yu Qingfeng gently hooked her little finger and took out another ingot of silver.

Pei Wuyan narrowed his eyes and glared at Yu Qingfeng. After getting on the carriage, he complained softly: "Although...but..."

Yu Qingfeng snickered, knowing that Pei Wuyan was dissatisfied with the way she had just "hooked up" with the little guard. Looking back, the money, the eyes, and the hooking of fingers did seem a bit frivolous.

The carriage moved forward and headed straight to the prince's bedroom.

Guarding the door of the dormitory was a strange father-in-law, who called himself Eunuch Dai Dedai and was the current eunuch in charge of the East Palace.

"Where is Eunuch Wang?" Yu Qingfeng spoke quickly and asked after hearing Eunuch Dai's self-introduction.

"The prince passed away from illness, and His Highness was heartbroken. Coupled with the incident involving Princess Pingyao, he was overcome with anxiety and fell ill. The imperial doctor diagnosed it as fainting and weakness caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. Although it was not serious, it required rest and recuperation.

"Eunuch Dai answered slowly and calmly.

"Died of illness?" What Yu Qingfeng cared about was not Qi Jinglin's illness, but the death of the prince. "The prince has always been in good health, how could he die of illness?"

Eunuch Dai flicked the fly whisk and said, "Sir Yu's words are wrong. Everyone knows that Eunuch Wang has a cough, which is a stubborn illness. Half a month ago, Eunuch Wang's cough worsened and he vomited blood all day long. He died without treatment."

"Eunuch Wang is a confidant of His Highness. His Highness must have invited the Imperial Hospital to come for diagnosis and treatment. I wonder which imperial physician he invited?" Pei Wuyan asked.

"Oh, I don't know about this Zajia family. The Zajia family was sent to the East Palace by the Supervisor of Ceremonies to take over after the prince's death."

"Secretary of Ceremonies." Yu Qingfeng repeated to Pei Wuyan, meaning that the person under house arrest was probably Gao Manpeng.

Yu Qingfeng knew it was nonsense, but still wanted to argue, "But I remember Eunuch Wang said that although his cough is a stubborn disease, it is not serious. I have never seen him cough up blood."

Eunuch Dai casually called to a passing palace maid, "Cui Ya, you must have seen Eunuch Wang fall ill, please tell me about it."

Yu Qingfeng, the palace maid named Cuiya, had some impression that she was indeed a maid serving the prince, so she waited for her description.

Cui Ya's face was full of horror, as if she had remembered something terrible, and as if the situation she was currently facing was a terrible thing. Her acting skills could not be said to be unsatisfactory, but she had passed the test. Anyway, it was clear that she was lying under threat.

"Oh, yes, one day the slave saw the prince coughing violently and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. When he looked again, the handkerchief was full of blood. Alas, the prince was also frightened at that time and couldn't believe it..."

"Handkerchief? White?" Yu Qingfeng interrupted Cui Ya.

Cui Ya was stunned, "Yes, it's white, what's wrong with the handkerchief?"

"No, white is fine."

Yu Qingfeng used the white handkerchief to confirm that Cuiya was lying and someone was coercing her to conceal the truth.

Yu Qingfeng still vividly remembers the scene of her first meeting with the prince. At that time, Yu Qingfeng told the prince not to cover his mouth with a handkerchief when coughing, especially white handkerchiefs.

Although Eunuch Wang didn't know why, he specifically mentioned it to her when they met in the future, remembering Yu Qingfeng's original instructions not to cover her mouth with a handkerchief when coughing, but to carry a green handkerchief with her. Eunuch Wang said that Yu Qingfeng must be a lucky star as she rises through the ranks.

, he followed her suggestion and changed into a green handkerchief, hoping to get Yu Qingfeng's blessing and seek good fortune.

When Eunuch Dai comes in, he greets you.

Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyan stood outside the dormitory door and waited, looking at each other and understanding each other tacitly: There was a drastic change in the East Palace, Qi Jinglin was ill, the prince died, and Cheng Minrong married far away to the Dian Kingdom.
