Yun Shuyue: My ears are finally a little quieter.

"Master, we're here."

The carriage stopped outside the palace gate.

Changli opened the curtain of the sedan chair, Yu Yan put her hand on her arm, and limped out of the carriage.

"I'll help you over."

"The drama is too exaggerated," Yu Yan said softly, "How dare I bother you to support me?"

"Shut up."

Yu Yan snorted coldly and helped her walk slowly. They finally reached the main hall and found a seat to sit down. Then a minister came over and greeted Yun Shuyue.

Yun Shuyue's face turned cold, and the ministers looked at each other and withdrew according to the circumstances.

"Do we need to invite these noble ladies to the palace for the welcoming banquet?" Yun Shuyue sneered, "You want to use me as an excuse to build a bridge."

"It's better to know it in your heart without saying it out loud," Yu Yan poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. "Why are you sitting here with me instead of staying in your own seat?"

Yun Shuyue sat down next to her, "It's quiet here."

"When did the eldest princess become so close to the second princess? Aren't they said to have a bad relationship?"

"Who told you that? I heard that the second princess went to the eldest princess's house as soon as she returned to Beijing. She took a lot of things with her when she left. The next day, the eldest princess gave her a lot of things again."

"Alas, the second princess's mansion was struck by lightning this morning, and she almost died. It was only because the eldest princess sent someone to save her life. Do you think it could be..." A noble daughter in green squinted her eyes, "It has something to do with the eldest princess?"

"Are you going to die? You dare to talk nonsense without any evidence. If the princess hears you, I'm afraid your tongue will be useless."

The woman in green snorted, "What's there to be afraid of? She is the regent princess, so what? She is not the only one who has the final say in the court. Even if she wants to punish me, she has to produce evidence. Without evidence, she can't touch me. My father is a disciple of her grandfather."

Yu Yan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled. Even if the king of heaven came, she would not need any excuse or evidence to kill you.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, and the Imperial Concubine has arrived."

Everyone in the hall knelt down and said, "Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

Yun Min sat down and said, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Today is the welcoming banquet I'm hosting for the eldest princess. You've been away from the capital for three years recuperating in the palace. It must have been hard on you. Are you feeling better now?"

"I am much better now, thank you for your concern, father."

"You, your mother asked you to enter the palace yesterday. Nanny Sun said you were ill. I saw that you looked so bad, but you still fooled your father. Well, now that you are back in the capital, let the imperial physician take good care of you and heal you."

"Yes."

Yun Min smiled very kindly, "Your mother is also very happy to know that you are back. She has been thinking about you all these years. Now that you are back, she is relieved. When you have nothing to do, go to the palace more often to accompany her."

Yun Shuyue coughed lightly a few times.

"Second brother, I heard that your mansion was struck by lightning and you were injured. What happened?"

"I don't know," Yu Yan shook her head, "Maybe I have offended someone, blocked someone's benefit, and they can't tolerate me anymore."

"How dare you! Where is the Dali Temple Minister?"

"The minister is here."

"I give you seven days to find out the truth, otherwise, you will be beheaded."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, today is a welcome party for Chao'er, so let's not talk about those things that would spoil the fun. The daughter of the Minister of Revenue knew that Chao'er had returned to the capital, so she specially choreographed a dance to exorcise evil spirits and pray for Chao'er."

"Oh, really? That's hard for her."

Empress Sun smiled and clapped her hands. A person dressed gorgeously like a peacock walked in slowly, with a smile on her face and her eyes always looking at Yun Yichen.

After the dance ended, her eyes still stayed on Yun Yichen.

"Your servant Lu Ying, greets His Majesty, greets the Empress, and greets the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Lu chuckled, "Exorcising evil spirits and praying for the princess' safety, I'm afraid only the Empress believed this. As soon as you came in, you stared at the Prince of Ming without even glancing at the princess. It's a relief that the princess didn't get mad at you to death."

"Empress, even if you don't like the eldest princess, she is still your biological daughter. It is wrong of you to use the eldest princess as an excuse to put someone in the backyard of the Ming King. The Ming King already has a legitimate wife, and the girl is at least his legitimate daughter. Do you think she should be a concubine?"

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words," Lu Ying knelt on the ground with a plop, "The dance I choreographed is indeed to exorcise evil spirits and pray for the eldest princess..."

"Okay," Yun Min interrupted her, "It's hard for you to have such an intention. Go down."

"From my perspective, this dance doesn't look like one for exorcising evil spirits or praying for blessings, but rather like something from a brothel," Yu Yan said calmly. "I heard that Miss Lu's biological mother was a prostitute."

"How did the Second Princess know that this dance was from a brothel?" the Imperial Concubine asked, "Could it be..."

"This is not a coincidence. Not long ago, I went to visit my fourth brother. He had hired many prostitutes to his house. He was surrounded by them and was having a great time."

The imperial concubine's face froze and she fell silent.

"The Imperial Master has arrived."

Wen Yu walked over slowly in court dress, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Master, you are late."

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report, which concerns the safety of the eldest princess."

"explain."

"I observed the stars at night and made a divination for the princess. Your Highness is weak and is haunted by evil spirits. Evil spirits are seeking your life."

"How dare you!" Yun Min slammed his palm on the table, "Is it possible that the Imperial Master has made a mistake due to dazzlement?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense," Wen Yu knelt on the ground respectfully, "Your Highness fought on the battlefield and protected Western Chu from danger several times. Your hands were stained with killing. The souls of the dead did not have a good end and turned into evil spirits to wander around Your Majesty. Your Majesty, what I said is true, I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Yun Min twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand, "Is there a solution?"

"To bring good luck, we need a man born at noon on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. He has the fate of a white tiger, a strong horoscope, and strong yang energy. Evil spirits dare not approach him, and he may be able to save your life."

The fifth day of May, at noon.

Yongping Hou was delighted. Wasn't his silly son from the countryside born at noon on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month? When he was born, an old monk said that he had the fate of a white tiger.

"It's easy to find a man born at noon on the fifth day of the fifth month, but it's hard to find one with the White Tiger fate. Is there no other way?" asked Queen Sun.

Wen Yu shook his head, "This is the only way."

The Lin family members felt uneasy after hearing this. How could they be possessed by an evil spirit?

"Your Majesty," Marquis Yongping stood up and knelt in the hall, "My eldest son Yici was born at noon on the fifth day of the fifth month. When he was born, Master Huicong of Huilin Temple calculated the child's fate, and it was the White Tiger fate."

"If I remember correctly, he is a fool, with the mental capacity of a three-year-old. Do you want the princess to marry a fool? Marquis Yongping, what are you thinking?"
