After Su Yunxuan left, Ruofeng stayed in Jinggu Garden according to her instructions.

After lunch, Ye Zixi was tired from playing, so she went back to her room to take a nap at 5 p.m.

I had been lying there for less than half an hour when two groups of people came arguing into Jinggu Garden.

Ruofeng got up to check, and Yanyu introduced him to the two groups while trying to dissuade them from doing so, apologetically.

One group is from Feng Yuqi, and the other group is from Feng Yuqi’s mother Shen Xinyin.

The people from Fengyume didn't dare to actually attack Shen Xinyin. Shen Xinyin clamored to see Ye Zixi and kept cursing.

Ruofeng stopped Shen Xinyin from entering, and Yan Yu also tried to dissuade her.

Ye Zixi was woken up and ran out to watch the fun.

When Shen Xinyin saw her appearance clearly, she suddenly went crazy and rushed in regardless of the fact that Ruofeng had cut her arm.

Tian Qu saw that his wife was injured, so he turned his attack and attacked Ruo Feng together with Shen Xinyin's men.

When the situation was in chaos, a group of men in black suddenly came in from somewhere and took the opportunity to kidnap Ye Zixi.

They were very fast, and by the time Tian Qu and Ruo Feng noticed them and stopped to chase them, it was already too late...

On this side, Ruofeng told Su Changfeng what had happened with a self-blaming look on his face. On the other side, Feng Yuqi had searched Jinggu Garden inside and out but found no clues.

Tian went to kneel on the ground and bowed his head to apologize. Tian Xun tried to pull him up several times but failed.

Feng Yuqi called Yan Yu over with a gloomy face and asked, "Where are the people from your Princess Mansion? What were they doing at that time?"

"King Hao also knows that no one in the capital dares to offend our eldest princess, let alone come to her house to offend her, so there are not many guards in the mansion." Yan Yu replied.

This means that the power of the Princess's Mansion is entirely dependent on the Princess's reputation for being favored!

Feng Yuqi was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked him.

Yan Yu's knees hurt, and he lay on the ground, but he immediately got up and knelt down to apologize. "King Hao is right to punish me. It was Yan Yu who failed to protect the young lady."

"Think carefully, what are the characteristics of those men in black?" Feng Yuqi asked angrily.

Yan Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then replied, "They covered their faces, and their Qinggong skills were amazing. They don't look like ordinary people."

Feng Yuqi was so angry that he closed his eyes again. It was the same as saying nothing.

Seeing that he was extremely impatient, Yan Yu spoke again: "Perhaps King Hao should ask your own people why your mother broke into the Princess's mansion?"

Feng Yuqi stared at him, and Yan Yu continued to talk: "Your mother came to the Princess's Mansion once in the morning, but was taken away by Tian Qu. Why did she come again in the afternoon? Did she make any plans in the meantime?"

"And Tianqu. Mr. Su's men, Ruofeng, tried to stop Madam Shen from breaking into Jinggu Garden, but Tianqu teamed up with your mother's men to target Ruofeng. If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation."

Feng Yuqi glanced at Tian Qu who was kneeling beside him. Tian Qu quickly kowtowed and admitted his fault: "I have failed in my duty. Please punish me, Master... I have failed in my duty..."

"Brother, tell me what's going on?" Tian Xun interrupted.

Feng Yuqi glanced at Tianxun, then looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt a little regretful for his lack of consideration.

Originally, he thought that Tianqu was thoughtful and considerate, so he was asked to keep an eye on the Princess's Mansion. However, he never expected that Tianqu always abided by the rules, unlike Tianxun who was fearless.

Moreover, Tianqu's martial arts skills are not as good as Tianxun's, and his Qinggong skills are even worse...

"I saw Ruofeng hurt Madam, and Madam kept rushing in. Ruofeng was merciless, so I... I am guilty, please punish me, master." Tian Quyan.

After saying this, he kowtowed again and again to admit his mistake.

"Okay!" Feng Yuqi shouted loudly.

Tianxun hurriedly tried to pull Tianqu, but Tianqu shook Tianxun off, straightened his back and still knelt on the ground.

Yan Yu frowned and said, "This subordinate of Master Su, Ruofeng, is very skilled in martial arts. I have met him before in the Princess's residence. His lightness skills are unique, and I have never seen anyone faster than him. I chased him for a while today, but I still can't see him."

When Feng Yuqi heard this, his face changed drastically and he turned around and walked out quickly.

"Master? Where are you going?" Tian Xun shouted. After chasing for a few steps, he saw that Tian Xun had not caught up with him, so he hurriedly shouted again: "Brother, why aren't you catching up?"

Tian Qu stood up, glanced at Yan Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and quickly followed.

......

The Imperial Palace.

Su Yunxuan and Pei Qianluo chatted in the room for a long time, but no one came over.

Su Yunxuan stood up and wanted to go out to take a look, but suddenly felt weak.

She sat back down, secretly sighing, and looked around the room while asking Pei Qianluo, "Miss Pei, do you feel weak?"

Pei Qianluo clenched his fist upon hearing this and quickly realized that something was wrong.

She was much more familiar with the schemes used to harm people in the palace than Su Yunxuan, and she immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the three pots of flowers placed by the window.

She wanted to stand up to check, but like Su Yunxuan, she stood up halfway and fell back down.

Su Yunxuan followed her gaze and noticed the flower. She asked, "Is there something wrong with the flower? What kind of poison is it?"

Pei Qianluo's face flushed and her body felt hot. She said softly, "It might be the aphrodisiac scent, but I don't know why I feel weak all over..."

Su Yunxuan thought about it, and as quickly as possible, she took out the antidote for the Softening Meridian Powder from her arms and put it in her mouth, then handed another pill to Pei Qianluo.

Pei Qianluo frowned and took it. Su Yunxuan explained: "This is the antidote for the soft muscle powder. Take it first. As for the aphrodisiac incense you mentioned, I have never encountered such a situation. Let's crawl out first? It's always safer outside than inside."

Pei Qianluo took the medicine, and the two of them got up with difficulty, supporting each other and moving out. After walking a few steps, Su Yunxuan stopped and looked around the room again.

Pei Qianluo asked in confusion: "What are you looking for?"

Su Yunxuan: "Look for someone to protect yourself."

Pei Qianluo: "Since this place has been arranged in advance, there will definitely be no sharp weapons left for you to use for self-defense."

Su Yunxuan thought this made sense and looked up at Pei Qianluo's hair accessories.

She herself did not like pearl hairpins, and had not dressed up deliberately before being hurriedly brought into the palace. She still wore no hair accessories as usual.

Fortunately, Pei Qianluo was not as plain as she seemed when they first met. She must have dressed up deliberately for entering the palace. At this moment, she had several hairpins of different sizes on her hair.

Su Yunxuan raised her hand and pulled out the two largest ones.

"That one won't do..." Pei Qianluo reminded, wanting to say that the phoenix-shaped golden hairpin was given by the empress dowager herself, but when he thought of the current situation, he immediately shut up.

In an emergency, one has to take the necessary measures. Even if the empress dowager likes her to wear the phoenix hairpin, it is not as important as her safety at the moment.

Pei Qianluo shut up, and Su Yunxuan didn't bother to ask any more questions. She just stuffed the hairpin into Pei Qianluo's hand and said, "Hide it."

The two of them put away the hairpins, supported each other and walked out again, but the door could not be opened.

After a rustling sound, the door was locked from the outside. It was the palace maid who led the two of them here.

Both of them fell to the ground exhausted. Su Yunxuan was so hot that she pulled open her collar and asked, "Do you know whose courtyard we are in now?"

"This courtyard is close to the Empress Dowager's Fushou Palace and has no owner. After the Empress Dowager started to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, she became more fond of quietness, so this place was cleared out. Occasionally, it would be used as a resting place for people who were going to visit the Empress Dowager's palace." Pei Qianluo replied.

That's why she didn't take too much precautions.

She originally wanted to go to a place with fewer people and ask Su Yunxuan more about Su Changfeng.

That day in the Princess's Mansion, she heard An Lan's conversation with Su Changfeng about the peace talks. She knew that Feng Yuqi wanted to ask for permission to marry Princess Feng Lan. Then, as the Prince of Yunsheng, why couldn't Su Changfeng marry a Feng Lan woman like he did back then?

As long as the emperor grants her marriage to Su Changfeng, Pei Qianluo still has a chance.
