The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 51 The Prince Says One Word and Means Another
Inside the Chongming Palace, the prince glanced outside intentionally or unintentionally while holding the memorial, and saw Chai Hui standing there like a wooden stake, coughing lightly twice.

Chai Hui hurried forward and asked, "Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

The prince glanced at him and asked, "Where are the people?"

Chai Hui was confused and asked, "Your Highness, who is it?"

The memorial in the prince's hand hit him lightly, and Chai Hui caught it in a panic, smiling flatteringly, "Your Highness, Yue Fengyi has left."

"I just said it casually at the time, did you take it seriously?!"

A huge pot fell from the sky, hitting Chai Hui and making him dizzy.

So, he didn't understand the Crown Prince's thoughts and it was his fault for keeping the person?

He secretly glanced at the case again and found that the memorial in the prince's hand was actually upside down?

Chai Hui quickly found an excuse and said, "Your Highness, you have been reviewing memorials for so long, why don't you go out for a walk and take a rest?
The green bamboos in Jiangyunxuan are very nice. Drinking tea and listening to the wind in the bamboo forest is also an elegant thing to do."

He racked his brains to find an excuse for the prince to go to Jiangyunxuan.

The prince reluctantly responded, "Since you said so, I'll go and take a look!"

As soon as the two stepped out of the palace gate, they saw a young palace maid stumbling in. Chai Hui stepped forward with a whisk in hand and asked, "Which palace are you from, and why did you trespass into Chongming Palace?"

The maid knelt on the ground, panting and explaining, "Eunuch Xiao Chai, I am a maid of Jiangyunxuan. I just heard Yue Fengyi and Sister Lianyue say that they left the palace without permission, so I hurried here to report."

Chai Hui's expression changed. "You said you were a maid at Jiangyunxuan, but why haven't I ever seen you at Jiangyunxuan?"

The maid shrugged her shoulders and whispered, "Since this servant is not favored by the master, she naturally does not show her face in front of others. It is normal that Eunuch Xiao Chai does not recognize her.

But Yue Fengyi conspired to secretly leave the palace to meet a man outside the palace, which is a serious crime..."

Before the maid finished her words, the prince came over and played with the jade button in his hand, "Who did you just say left the palace without permission and secretly met with a man outside the palace?"

The palace maid's eyes lit up, and she lowered her head and said, "This is what Sister Yue Fengyi and Sister Lian Yue said. I overheard it accidentally."

"Really?" The prince snorted and kicked her in the chest, "A slave who betrays his master deserves death."

The palace maid rolled down the stairs uncontrollably, her head broken and bleeding, but no one cared.

Chai Hui waved his hand at the guards and said, "Send her to the Ministry of Punishment, pry open her mouth and ask who ordered this. Don't let her die too easily."

Whoever makes His Highness unhappy, he will not let that person live happily!

Damn it, I just coaxed His Highness into looking better, but not long after, he became gloomy and secretly angry again.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please walk slower. My legs are too short to keep up with you." Chai Hui ran with his whisk in his arms, panting heavily, but he could not catch up with the Crown Prince's fast strides.

When Wei Qingye entered Jiangyunxuan, he deliberately did not let the servants inform him and pushed the door open. He happened to see Nan Zhiyu wearing a palace maid's dress with her long hair scattered behind her.

"Where are you going dressed like this?"

The prince spoke in a hurry, and the smile on Nan Zhiyu's face gradually faded. She stood up and bowed respectfully to greet him.

The prince was slow to call her to stand up, his eyes were so sharp that he seemed to see through her.

Nan Zhiyu's knees ached greatly, but she dared not move unless the prince called out to her.

The prince couldn't help but think of what the palace maid said. Did she really miss that pretty boy Qi Che so much that after learning that he was beaten unconscious, she was so anxious that she wanted to sneak out of the palace to visit him?

"Yue Fengyi, do you admit your guilt?" The prince's face became uglier and his voice was much harsher than before. Nan Zhiyu gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground, "I have violated the rules, please punish me, Your Highness?"

The prince didn't know why he was angry, but since he said he was wrong, even if he was not wrong, he was still wrong.

Wei Qingye saw her calm tone and was furious. He turned around and knelt on one knee, pinching her thin shoulders with both hands, and asked through gritted teeth: "Tell me, what did you do wrong?"

Nan Zhiyu frowned in pain, "If Your Highness feels that I am wrong, you can tell me and I will change."

She slowly raised her hand, her slender fingertips rested on his forehead, and silently smoothed his frown, "I don't want to see Your Highness frowning and being troubled by trivial matters."

Wei Qingye's anger was extinguished by her simple words. After he calmed down, he realized that although this light blue dress was somewhat similar to the clothes of the palace maids, if you look closely, you can still tell the difference.

He actually misunderstood!

Nan Zhiyu's knees hurt so much that her whole body began to shake as she knelt on the ground.

Wei Qingye directly helped the man up from the ground and asked with concern: "What happened to you?"

"Nothing, I just knelt for a long time." Nan Zhiyu smiled lightly, "But I do have something to ask Your Highness."

Wei Qingye saw her serious expression and touched her head with a smile, "What's the matter? You look so serious, like a staid old scholar."

Nan Zhiyu thought it over again and again, and then said carefully: "I hope to get your permission to leave the palace."

Wei Qingye took back the hand that had fallen on her head. The smile in his eyes was swallowed up by the abyss in an instant, "Give me a reason."

Nan Zhiyu stood up from the stool, took two steps back, and solemnly knelt before the prince, "I need to find a new place for my aunt to live. I beg Your Highness to make an exception and grant me permission."

Qingdai and Lianyue came in with tea and snacks, having just heard something from Chai Hui outside.

Only then did they understand why the Crown Princess said those ambiguous words when they went to Ganlu Palace to beg her to leave the palace. It turned out that she was waiting here!
Qingdai put down the snacks in her hand and knelt behind Nan Zhiyu. "Your Highness, I have something to say. Yesterday, the Prime Minister's wife came to the palace under the pretext of visiting, but in fact she threatened my young mistress that if she didn't find a way to restore Nan Yu's previous favor and status, she would... dig up my aunt's grave and grind her bones to dust.

The young lady was extremely anxious, and that’s why she wanted to leave the palace.”

Lian Yue brewed some tea and personally brought it to the Crown Prince, adding: "The young master was afraid that the Madam would really do this, so he said a few casual words. After the people left, he blamed himself and knelt in the palace for a whole night..."

Nan Zhiyu didn't say anything. When she was helped up, Wei Qingye could see her red eyes from crying, her face was stained with tears, and she looked pitiful.

"Why are you crying so hard? Wasn't my tone of voice a little harsh just now?" The prince hugged her in his arms with concern and skillfully wiped her tears with his sleeve.

"Your Highness clearly doesn't believe me. Do you think I have some unspeakable secret with Qi Che?" Nan Zhiyu cried even louder, sobbing and wiping her tears with the prince's sleeves, while continuing to complain, "It's clear that I only like your Highness, but your Highness doesn't believe me. Then return this unspeakable thing to me!"

As he said this, he pulled the inconspicuous jade buckle of two fish playing in water hanging on the prince's waist, and then threw the sachet on his waist towards him.

"Such a valuable thing is ultimately unworthy of someone of my lowly status."
