The reason why Pei Yu specifically mentioned his second uncle was because his judgment was consistent with Su Fengyi's, that the Prince of Pingliang was going to take action against the Emperor.

In order to seize the position of the head of the Pei family, the second master of the Pei family used the ancestral skills of all the descendants of the Pei family and mixed himself into the rebellion of King Pingliang. He not only contributed money but also offered strategies. He was a direct descendant of the direct descendants of King Pingliang.

Pei Yu already had evidence of the guilt of the second master of the Pei family in his hands, but he had been waiting patiently. He would greet the second master of the Pei family with a smile whenever he met him on weekdays. He had kept his evil-minded second uncle away from him just for this moment.

After all, not everyone can afford to fight with their relatives and risk their lives.

Pei Yu didn't care at all that he killed his second uncle and his hands were stained with the blood of his relatives. He didn't even shed a tear.

But based on his understanding of the eldest princess, she is a sentimental person and a soft-hearted person. If she encounters the same thing, she will most likely feel sad about it.

Pei Yu didn't want the princess to experience such pain, so he endured his desire for revenge against his second uncle and left the knife to King Pingliang so that he could kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Since the princess had said it clearly, Pei Yu did not hide it and asked clearly:

"If the Prince of Pingliang wants to take action, Commander Lu will be the biggest obstacle. How will Your Highness deal with Commander Lu?"

Lu Hong is the emperor's sword. As long as Lu Hong is around, it will be very difficult to touch the emperor. Therefore, before Prince Pingliang takes action, he is likely to use the emperor's hand to kill Lu Hong first.

If Lu Hong was reminded, then what the King of Pingliang wanted to do might not be accomplished.

But if Lu Hong was not warned, he would be caught off guard and obey the emperor's orders. If the emperor fell into the trap, Lu Hong would most likely die.

Pei Yu asked this to let Su Fengyi make a choice.

Su Fengyi did not answer immediately. After thinking for a long time, he said:

"The eighth day of the sixth lunar month is an auspicious date. Let's take this day."

June 8th is Lu Hong’s birthday.

When he was a child, Su Fengyi would celebrate his birthday, just like combing his hair and giving him clothes, which was part of her playing house game.

But as they grew up, they stopped doing this at some point and never picked it up again.

After Pei Yu left, Su Fengyi personally ground ink, spread out paper and wrote a letter. She wrote a letter and had someone deliver it to Lu Hong's residence. She wrote in the letter that it was on the eighth day of June and she wanted to celebrate his birthday and asked him to come to the Princess's residence.

Lu Hong has been accompanying the emperor in Xishan recently and is not in the Lu Mansion, but as long as it is a letter from the eldest princess, no matter how far away it is, the Lu family will deliver it as soon as possible.

So in the evening, Su Fengyi received the reply letter sent by Lu Hong.

The person who delivered the letter turned out to be He Hongfei.

He Hongfei was also a capable person. In the short time since he joined the Jinwu Guard, he relied on his many acquaintances, brothers, and the support of the princess to not only gain a firm foothold in the Jinwu Guard, but was also promoted by Lu Hong himself and became Lu Hong's deputy general.

If Lu Hong is not around, she will be in charge of the Imperial Guards' affairs.

After delivering the letter, He Hongfei was not in a hurry to leave. He drank tea and slacked off in Su Fengyi's study.

Su Fengyi opened Lu Hong's letter. Lu Hong's letter was as simple as his words. The whole text only contained one word:

it is good.

Su Fengyi received the letter and asked He Hongfei:

"How's your work in front of the Emperor going lately?"

He Hongfei drank tea:

"Oh, that's it, it's meaningless."

The Jinwu Guards are the ones who protect the emperor closely. When on duty, they never leave the emperor's side, so He Hongfei knows exactly what the emperor is doing every hour of the day.

He Hongfei learned on the first day that Concubine Chen was not sent away but was imprisoned in Huangjue Temple by the Emperor.

The Jinwu Guards knew about it, and the Jinwu Guards’ elders naturally knew about it as well.

But this time, the ministers in the capital did not react at all.

For the court officials, what they want is the emperor's attitude and the decency on the surface. As for the Concubine Chen herself, others may not really care.

As long as the emperor appeared to surrender and did not bring the concubine to the palace openly, everyone would be able to get away with it, so the ministers decided to pretend they didn't know.

He Hongfei had met Concubine Chen several times. She was a delicate flower who was weak and unable to take care of herself. She was bullied very badly by the emperor. Putting himself in her shoes, He Hongfei felt that Concubine Chen was quite pitiful and felt quite sympathetic towards her.

And the emperor really did not do any serious work every day. He was even more dissolute than her, who was once the number one dissolute in the capital. He Hongfei found it quite boring.

Su Fengyi asked her:

"You think it's boring and you don't want to do it anymore? Then go home and get married. Is that interesting?"

He Hongfei shuddered:

"Your Highness, for the sake of my loyalty to you, don't be so scary. Do what you want, but don't send me back."

If you want to do it, it's easy.

Su Fengyi said to her:

"In that case, June 8th is a good day. Invite your brothers to have a drink and congratulate you on your promotion."

……

In the wing room of Huangjue Temple in Xishan, the Concubine Chen was helping the Emperor to dress with her head lowered and her eyes submissively fixed on him.

After moving into the Western Hills, the Emperor often visited Concubine Chen to have fun, but he never stayed overnight.

The main reason was that the previous assassination by a palace maid had left a deep impression on him. Without the heavy protection of the imperial guards, the emperor felt a little scared.

Moreover, he would feel uncomfortable with strange women. Looking at them, he would think of that ordinary but daring palace maid who even dared to assassinate the emperor.

Every strange woman could be that palace maid.

But it was different with Concubine Chen. She was a delicate flower tamed by him. She had no attack power at all and dared not do anything else except growing the way he wanted.

A weak woman like Concubine Chen makes the emperor feel very safe.

After putting on his clothes, the emperor sat down beside the bed, waiting for Concubine Chen to put on his stockings. Recalling how Concubine Chen had just been clinging to him, he felt very happy. He pinched Concubine Chen's face, lifted her chin, and asked teasingly:

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Do you want me to stay?"

The concubine lowered her eyes and replied meekly:

"I am so scared living here alone."

Because the emperor was pinching her face, every time the concubine spoke, it felt like she was kissing the emperor's hand.

Not only was she docile, she was also proactive, kissing the emperor until his bones were almost softened.

The emperor likes Concubine Chen’s initiative, which represents submission.

The emperor felt extremely satisfied and was eager to do something. He touched the concubine's collar and asked her:

"If you want me to stay, it depends on whether you are good enough."

The concubine did not hide, showing the most obedient smile:

"I will be a good concubine, Your Majesty, can you please stay with me for a while?"

This time the emperor was unable to leave and for the first time he stayed overnight in the side room of Huangjue Temple. He spent the whole night very satisfied. How well behaved could the Concubine Chen be?

The emperor woke up the next day and thought back to last night, feeling still unsatisfied.

Before going out hunting, the emperor leaned over to the half-asleep Concubine's ear and said with a smile:

"That's not enough. How can you be so useless? I'll let you go for now. Wait for me obediently at night."

After the emperor left, the maidservant of the Concubine Chen quietly came in and helped her get up while saying:

"My queen, the King of Pingliang has sent a message, please make preparations, I will send you home on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month."
