The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

On weekdays, when Eunuch Yu was responsible for conveying the imperial edict, although he maintained a polite attitude towards these godsons, that politeness was more like official etiquette and was superficial.

But today, the smile on his face was so sincere.

If Eunuch Yu could see through the grumblings in the hearts of these godsons, he would probably unhappily scold them for being narrow-minded and unable to recognize a gem.

In their eyes, Mrs. Pei seemed to be just a noble lady of prominent status, but they had no idea of ​​the mystery hidden behind her.

Is Madam Pei more than an ordinary person?

She has immortal blood flowing in her body, and is truly an immortal who transcends the mortal world!

Ever since Pei Yu wore the amulet given to him by Madam Pei, his body has undergone incredible changes in just a few days.

The back and leg pains from standing in front of the emperor for long periods of time in the past seemed to have disappeared overnight, and even after standing all day, she no longer felt tired at all.

The amulet was clearly a treasure containing immortal power, silently protecting him.

Eunuch Yu smiled kindly and explained to Pei Yu in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, Madam Pei is still recovering, but there is a complicated case in the palace that has been pending for a long time. The situation is urgent and of great importance. Therefore..."

He turned his eyes gently to Sheng Junwei and continued, "Madam Pei, can we ask you to leave the palace and go to the scene in person? Please rest assured that everything has been arranged. You don't need to walk, and it will not put any burden on your body. In addition, a variety of refreshments and fresh fruits are prepared, and even lunch is a fine dish sent directly from the imperial kitchen in the palace..."

"Okay, stop tempting me. I'll go."

Sheng Junwei felt that her mouth was about to be filled with these tempting conditions.

Imperial meal?

In her opinion, although the ingredients of this so-called imperial meal are precious, most of them are prepared and refrigerated in advance. When the emperor or the beauties in the harem want to eat it, they are simply heated up and served on the table.

How can the taste of such food compare to freshly made ones?

"I'll go with you." Pei Yu looked worried.

Sheng Junwei frowned slightly: "No need to do this, you will cause me trouble."

Pei Yu was firm: "Your injuries haven't fully recovered yet. If your parents knew you were going alone, they would definitely follow you. If you don't allow me to accompany you, then I will have to tell mom to let her go with you."

Sheng Junwei was speechless for a moment.

Pei Yu is such an adult, but when he encounters a problem, he still likes to solve it by complaining, which makes her feel helpless.

But she knew very well that it was not a wise move to let Zhang be involved. Firstly, she was worried that her body could not withstand the long journey. Secondly, these royal secrets were too much psychological pressure for an ordinary person.

Since Pei Yu volunteered and was willing to face these psychological tests, she no longer objected.

Seeing that the time was right, Eunuch Yu quickly complimented, "Mrs. Pei and Mr. Pei's relationship is really enviable. They are so affectionate."

Pei Yu's expression was slightly complicated, with neither obvious joy nor shyness.

Sheng Junwei had a confused look on her face, obviously not used to such excessive compliments.

Eunuch Yu sensed the delicate atmosphere and quickly changed the subject: "Eunuch, I am not thoughtful enough. Madam Pei, please advise me. What else do you need to bring with you on this trip? I am afraid it will take quite a while today. If you wish, you can bring a maid with you."

"Thank you for your concern, father-in-law." Sheng Junwei actually did not plan to bring Yunying with her.

The reason was similar to why he didn't want Zhang to go with him - he didn't want to see them suffer because of him.

But Yunying didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she volunteered to step forward and said, "Please wait a moment, eunuch. I will go and prepare the luggage."

Soon, Yunying neatly packed up all the necessities, including any spare clothes that Sheng Junwei might need, her favorite snacks, and specially made medicinal meal packs, taking care of every detail.

As for Pei Yu's preparations...

He has his own hands and feet, and is surrounded by several loyal and well-trained servants. When something happens, he doesn't need others to worry about him and can solve it properly by himself.

A group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes, stepped on the morning dew, and quietly left the vermilion gate of the prime minister's residence.

The axles of the carriage rumbled on the bluestone road, making a steady and powerful sound.

Eunuch Yu did not get into the spacious and comfortable carriage with everyone else, but instead chose an unusually gorgeously decorated sedan chair outside the door.

The sedan was embroidered with intricate cloud and dragon patterns all over, with delicate silver bells hanging from the four corners, which jingled as it moved, exuding an air of dignity that was self-evident.

Moments before getting into the sedan chair, Eunuch Yu approached Sheng Junwei lightly, leaned close to her ear, and gave her a few detailed instructions in a whisper that only the two of them could hear.

When the convoy finally arrived at the destination, Sheng Junwei's carriage did not stop directly in front of the magnificent mansion, but was hidden in a narrow alley opposite, as if deliberately avoiding the hustle and bustle.

Eunuch Yu got off the car steadily and stood at the entrance of the alley. He took a deep breath, and his loud voice penetrated the morning mist and echoed clearly in the air: "The imperial edict has arrived, Prince Qing's Mansion is here to receive it!"

The majesty and unquestionableness in his voice made even passers-by look sideways.

There was a hint of scholarly air between Pei Yu's brows. He stared at the plaque in front of him with the three words "Prince Qing's Mansion" engraved on it, and his brows were unconsciously twisted into a knot.

"Being involved in such a confidential matter as the royal family is never a good sign." There was a hint of imperceptible worry in his whisper.

Prince Qing was one of the few princes of a different surname in the Great Sheng Empire. He was once the emperor's closest companion. They had experienced countless ups and downs together inside and outside the palace, and they were as close as brothers.

However, with the change of imperial power, Prince Qing gradually faded from the public eye.

He neither attended court meetings nor participated in any court banquets. His life became a mystery, arousing people's imagination.

Rumors were rife. Some said he was suffering from a serious illness and had to retreat from the world for health reasons. Others privately speculated that he might have chosen the path of self-exile because of some unspeakable mistake and was unable to face the emperor who was high above him.

Furthermore, it was rumored that the emperor was uneasy about the growing power of Prince Qing, so when he returned to the pinnacle of power, he hatched a murderous plot against this former confidant.

But no matter what the speculation is, the emperor's attitude today undoubtedly reveals that there has been an irreparable crack in his trust in Prince Qing.

Pei Yu was filled with worry, and he cautiously suggested: "Have you considered... trying to be more low-key?"

Once caught in the vortex of the imperial power struggle, life and death often depended on the emperor's thoughts.

Sheng Junwei held her chin with her hand, and glanced through the car window at the rapidly receding street scene outside with an indifferent look: "How can I get rid of the current situation easily just because I am willing to participate or not?"
