Chapter 350 How could it be her? Where is Bai Youyou? !
"what sound?"
"It sounds to me like—"
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively, and suddenly their faces turned red.
They are not ignorant young boys, and they are very familiar with this kind of voice.
"This is a key area of the imperial palace. Who dares to defile the palace here?!" The prince looked icy cold and shouted sternly, "Someone, break the door open!"
With a "bang", the door was pushed open by two guards.
Everyone rushed in, only to see the room in a mess, with the quilt on the bed half covered.
"How dare you to commit a crime here—"
Before the prince could finish his angry words, the emperor's gloomy face appeared in front of everyone.
"Father!"
The prince quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake, "I didn't know that your father was resting here. Please forgive me."
It was just a play, and the emperor lifted the bed curtain a little so that people could see the person on his couch clearly.
If this little girl is allowed to enter the palace to accompany the emperor directly, the people in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion will certainly not agree. But if the matter is settled, the Duke Zhenguo will have no choice but to recognize it.
Just when he was feeling proud, someone recognized the person on the bed.
"Hey, isn't this the woman who came with the prince today?"
"It really is."
Everyone turned their eyes to the prince and found that spring was already appearing above his head.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince and the Emperor both looked towards the bed, and their breathing paused.
"Bai Yaoyao!"
How could it be her? Where's Bai Youyou? !
The emperor suddenly lowered the curtain, and his face, which was previously full of smiles, suddenly fell.
He personally saw the person being sent into the dormitory, how could he have been replaced?!
The prince stood up from the ground in shock, somewhat unbelieving what he had seen.
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."
This was the first time in history that the emperor was caught cheating, and what was even more shocking was that the emperor slept with the prince's woman.
The more they know, the faster they die. These people are all smart people. They quickly lowered their heads and resigned.
The prince forced his lips to explain to everyone, "This is Bai Yaoyao, the fifth daughter of the second branch of Yongning Marquis's mansion. A few days ago, she told me that she admired my father. Today, I specially brought her to the palace to fulfill her wish."
The emperor did not want to make a scandal of him sleeping with his son's woman, so he said sternly, "I have already made Bai Yaoyao a noble lady, and the imperial edict will be sent to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion tomorrow."
"The emperor is mighty and powerful. Which woman in the world doesn't admire him? This nobleman is also a man with a discerning eye for talent."
"Yes, the emperor is still as handsome as ever. Which woman in the world doesn't admire him?"
The emperor said so, and although the others did not believe it in their hearts, they all agreed with him verbally.
Xu Lingyun, Zhao Qingming and Lord Qi did not agree. The three of them lowered their eyes with contempt.
Xu Lingyun was a little confused. Why was there no one guarding the emperor's bedroom?
And judging from the prince's previous behavior, it was clear that all this was a trap set by him.
It was just the person on the bed that surprised him, but if there was no surprise, who would that person be on the bed?
Today, he had been made a fool of himself. The emperor's dark eyes were filled with anger. "It's getting late. You should all go back to your houses."
Xu Lingyun also left the side hall with everyone else, but the doubts in his mind were swirling around him like a spider web, leaving him puzzled.
"Master Xu, what do you think of what happened today?"
Zhao Qingming had the same doubts in his mind.
The little girl from the Yongning Marquis's mansion chased after the prince all day long, obviously because she loved him. Now she suddenly became the emperor's woman, there must be something fishy about it.
"I think the person the prince wants to plot against today is not the young lady of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, but someone else."
One was in the Ministry of Justice, the other was the Prefect of Jingzhao, and both were good at solving cases.
Xu Lingyun frowned, "Don't you find it strange? The emperor is always accompanied by someone, so how come there is no one guarding outside the palace today?"
The two of them walked and unraveled the mystery. Zhao Qingming lowered his voice and asked, "Are you saying that today's incident was a conspiracy between the emperor and the prince?"
"The emperor is suspicious and usually never leaves his side. What happened today is too strange and makes people suspicious."
"I was also shocked when I saw the expressions of the Crown Prince and the Emperor today. Who are they planning to plot against? Who is worthy of them abandoning their identities like this—"
Before Zhao Qingming finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
Xu Lingyun also thought of it, and his gums started to crackle.
The emperor only needs one word to get someone he wants, but the only people in this world who he is afraid of and restrained are the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Sir Zhao, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
Xu Lingyun walked quickly to the palace banquet venue to look for the old lady and Bai Youyou.
Instead of finding Bai Youyou, he found the old lady and Lu Chen who looked worried.
"Madam, where is Youyou now?"
Lu Chen shook his head, "We don't know yet."
The old lady looked at Xu Lingyun and asked, "Did you just come out of Chenyue Palace?"
Xu Lingyun nodded, his tone undisguisedly mocking, "The prince deliberately led us to Chenyue Palace and caught the emperor in bed with him."
"Is that Bai Yaoyao in Chenyue Palace?"
"Yes." Xu Lingyun saw that the old lady was not surprised at all, and understood in his heart, "The prince and the emperor want to plot against Youyou, right?"
It was a good thing that he was not in Chenyue Palace, at least he did not fall into the hands of the emperor. The old lady was still frightened, "If Youyou had not learned the news and taken precautions in advance, it would be Youyou who was killed today!"
Xu Lingyun clenched his hands and the muscles on his cheeks tensed.
If it weren't for that smart girl Youyou, she would have been the one caught in bed by the prince and his men today!
In order to blackmail the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the emperor even did such a vicious thing!
The cold moon is boundless.
In the Chenyue Palace, the emperor stared at the prince solemnly, "Didn't you say that this matter was foolproof? What's going on now?!"
"Father, please forgive me. I failed to handle this matter properly."
The prince knelt on the ground and confessed his guilt directly.
On the bed, Bai Yaoyao's face was pale. She grabbed the green satin quilt and wrapped herself in it, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
Today's game was originally set up by her for Bai Youyou, so why did she become the one to join the game?
Now that she has become this old man's woman, how can she continue to be the queen, second only to the emperor?
She said in a hateful voice: "Someone must have leaked the news, otherwise how could Bai Youyou know our plan?"
"This was a spur-of-the-moment decision. How did they know about it?"
The prince denied Bai Yaoyao's words.
He had only told the emperor about this matter in the morning. No matter how well-connected the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were, they would not have known the news so quickly.
"Do you think the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is just as simple as it appears?" The emperor glanced at the prince coldly and snorted, "I don't know how many of them are from his mansion in my palace!"
