Why bother going forward? He took the treasure map and presented it to Emperor Cangxuan.

Emperor Cangxuan's face turned cold after reading it. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, "How dare you, Ying Shifei!"

The court officials fell silent instantly.

"Chief Minister Zheng, Grand Tutor Hai, have you come forward to inspect this place?"

Zheng Liang and Hai Chaoyun stepped forward and looked at the secret letter on the emperor's desk.

"hiss!"

Zheng Liang gasped.

Hai Chaoyun exclaimed in surprise, "It's a treasure map! How did this concubine know about it?"

Zheng Liang and Hai Taifu were at odds, but at this moment, Zheng Liang was shocked and furious, saying, "Regardless of how she knew, leaking this map is a serious crime!"

"My two ministers, please return to your posts. This matter is of utmost importance. Fortunately, the Crown Prince was astute enough to discover it in advance; otherwise, it would have certainly led to a grave mistake!"

Emperor Cangxuan didn't forget to take the opportunity to praise the Crown Prince.

The court officials who had previously impeached the crown prince were now completely silent.

The Crown Prince glanced at the court officials, his eyes filled with schadenfreude. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my third brother also played a part in this matter. If it weren't for his report, I wouldn't have discovered it beforehand."

The third prince, who was standing to the side, was immediately moved to tears!

Aside from his sharp tongue, the Crown Prince is actually a pretty good person. He's really generous with credit when it comes to achievements!

Emperor Cangxuan's face immediately lit up with a smile. He looked at the Crown Prince with satisfaction, then at Cang Mingyou with admiration: "Not bad, Mingyou has also made a great contribution this time. What reward do you want? Tell me later!"

"Thank you, Father Emperor. This is what I should do!" the Third Prince said immediately.

"Those who have rendered meritorious service should be rewarded; there's no need for formalities!"

"Yes, Father!" the Third Prince replied loudly.

Emperor Cangxuan then said, "Then Concubine Ying should be kept locked up for now and strictly guarded. No one should be allowed to approach her. We will deal with her after the Crown Prince and the Second Prince return from Yuzhou!"

The officials bowed, and those who favored the Crown Prince praised him and the Third Prince, while the officials who supported the Second Prince turned pale with embarrassment.

After the court session, the Crown Prince walked out in a good mood; he was going to find Fu'er!

The third prince caught up and said, "Crown Prince, thank you for speaking up for me in court just now!"

The crown prince glanced at him and smiled very kindly: "No need to thank me, I've always been fair. But if you've gained anything, you could share some with me!"

The smile on the Third Prince's lips froze for a moment.

Just then, Marquis Xuanwu stepped forward with a beaming smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Third Prince!"

Marquis Xuanwu clasped his hands in a salute.

"Congratulations, Marquis Xuanwu!" said the Third Prince.

Marquis Xuanwu said, "Thank you, Third Prince."

He added, "My family will be hosting a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow. I wonder if Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Third Prince would be so kind as to attend?"

"nature!"

It will be very lively if we go there the day after tomorrow.

The Third Prince naturally agreed with a smile.

There must be many people going to the Marquis of Xuanwu's residence; the Marquis of Xuanwu has already sent out invitations in advance.

At the Mu residence, Ying Yufu also received an invitation from the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion.

……

"Not only did the impeachment of the Crown Prince fail, but Consort Xian and her son also received rewards!"

The Marquis of Xuanwu's residence also sent out wedding invitations to various court officials.

Nothing is going right!

In the central palace, the Empress, in a fit of anger, smashed another vase.

"General Star, General Star, he actually came back alive! Not only that, but we also lost one of our hidden agents!"

And that Ying Hengzhi, that vile woman, she should have been executed last time! How could I have allowed Ze'er to be with her before? She's a complete scourge!

The Empress was trembling with anger.

Not only did Consort Xian share power with her, but the concubines in the Second Prince's residence kept causing her trouble. Even the child she had executed more than ten years ago had now come back alive.

If I had known this would happen, I would have kept Ying Yufu firmly in my grasp, and none of this would have happened.

Moreover, it seems that Ying Yufu is always among those who thwart her plans. Since Ying Yufu is already an enemy, then perhaps...

"Eunuch Gao, I will turn the joyous occasion of the Marquis of Xuanwu's household into a tragedy, and as for Ying Yufu, I will get rid of her without hesitation!"

The Empress said with a sinister expression.

Gao Fengyi was also furious about Pang Jian's death. A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we have more than one spies in the Xuanwu Marquis's residence!"

The Empress's expression softened slightly, and she said, "We absolutely cannot fail again this time!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

The next day, the Crown Prince went to the Mu residence early in the morning to meet Yu Fu, so that they could go to the Xuanwu Marquis's residence together.

As a result, Yao Guang also arrived.

When Yao Guang arrived, Ying Zhuoxiu naturally wanted to see her.

Yao Guang asked shyly, "Brother Zhuo Xiu, would you like to come with me to the Marquis of Xuanwu's residence?"

Ying Zhuoxiu smiled and said, "Princess, I won't be going with you. The imperial examinations are just around the corner, and I need to prepare!"

Yao Guang nodded, "That's certainly how it should be. Then I won't go. How about I stay and keep you company while you study?"

Ying Yufu secretly gave Yao Guang a thumbs up.

Yao Guang glanced at her sideways.

Ying Zhuoxiu's face showed a hint of anticipation, but he said tactfully, "This... I would be delighted, but I'm afraid it might prevent the princess from attending the banquet!"

"No problem!" Yao Guang waved her little hand, very generously, but her little face was bright red.

Then look at Ying Zhuoxiu, oh wow, his neck is red too!

Ying Yufu looked at this one, then at that one, and said, "Alright, alright, then you two can keep things pleasant. I'll be leaving with His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ignoring the fact that the two of them had become even more famous overnight, Ying Yufu left with the Crown Prince.

Once inside the carriage, Ying Yufu rested her chin on her hand, her eyes narrowed into crescents as she stared intently at the Crown Prince opposite her. "Wow, His Highness the Crown Prince is really handsome!"

She said, "Your Highness, why do they blush so easily? You and I don't blush at all!"

She blushed when she saw Prince Yuheng and Hai Mujin last time.

The crown prince nodded seriously, "Yes, perhaps they're all a bit shy!"

Ying Yufu thought about it and nodded in agreement. That's right, it's also possible that she and the Crown Prince are both thick-skinned!

Ying Yufu took out two orange candies from her spatial storage, put one in her own mouth, and handed the other to the Crown Prince.

"I bought it from the divine artifact, Your Highness, please try it."

You can buy ten of these orange candies for just one point.

She bought a hundred pills, spending ten points, and Xiao Dian accused her of wasting money.

But it's only ten points!

The prince put the candy in his mouth, and a fragrant aroma immediately filled the air. His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Delicious!"

Ying Yufu's eyes sparkled. "Right? Right?"

The crown prince looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of laughter.

Ying Yufu felt that it would be a while before they arrived at the Xuanwu Marquis's residence, so she thought she would take out a book to read.

Just yesterday, the owner of Youfangzhai sent her a new sketchbook through someone.

This picture book is a very normal picture book that is popular on the market, without any romance or love stories.

It describes the customs and culture of the four countries, similar to a travelogue.

Ying Yufu thought that it was nothing to read such trivial books in front of the Crown Prince.

However, she was careless.

When she took out a book from her spatial storage, she didn't expect to find another book tucked inside.

With a "thud," the sketchbook tucked inside a book fell to the ground.

Face up.

The words "Young Lady and Handsome Prince" immediately catch the eye.

Ying Yufu was dumbfounded.

She then remembered that when she secretly looked at the sketchbook last night, she felt guilty and had hidden it among other books.

Ying Yufu's head felt like it was about to explode.

She quickly reached out to pick up the book, afraid that the Crown Prince would notice.

However, the Crown Prince had already reached out his fair, slender, and well-defined hand and picked up the sketchbook.

And out of curiosity, he flipped it open.

A casual flip through the pages revealed a line of words that made one's face flush and heart race—

The young lady skillfully lifted the crown prince's robe and said, "Your Highness, this part of you is truly beautiful..."

……

Crown Prince: "..."

Ying Yufu: "..."
