Jiang Fenghua also bowed to Xie Shang and said, "With Madam Zhu here to take care of me, I will go back to the banquet first. It's not good to publicize such a thing." She still had to explain. For the dignity of the Eastern Palace, she didn't want to stay and watch Zhu Zhenzhen act pitiful in front of Xie Shang. With Censor Zhu here, it would not be good for Xie Shang to leave.

Xie Shang understood what he meant and motioned for her to go first.

As soon as Jiang Fenghua left, Xie Shang waited for the imperial physician and the nanny to finish cleaning up before entering the side hall. There was a basin full of blood, and someone was floating in it. He frowned and walked to the couch, "Are you okay?"

Zhu Zhenzhen was almost killed by the pain when she had the curettage just now. The nanny said it has been a month and she couldn't see anything for a month, and she didn't know whether it was the gender of the baby.

Before Xie Shang came in, she had already prepared herself mentally.

She got up from the bed and knelt on the couch, tears streaming down her face. "It's all my fault. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been on a diet for the show. If I knew I was pregnant, I would have eaten all the medicinal food. I regret it. Woohoo... Your Highness and I don't have a child anymore."

Xie Shang was stunned. “There will be time in the future.” He really didn’t know what to say.

On the other side, Jiang Fenghua came out of the side hall and was about to walk towards the banquet hall. At this time, he saw a few people acting sneakily in the shadows in front of him.

Lian Ye also saw it, "Crown Princess..."

Jiang Fenghua made a hushing gesture to her and quickly pulled her to hide behind a rockery on the side, but as soon as she hid, she bumped into someone.

Before she could even exert any strength, the other person had already spoken, "Crown Princess, it's your servant."

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Fenghua quickly retracted her gesture. It was dark behind the rockery, and she could only see Lu Xuefei's face clearly when she came closer. "Why... are you here?" The eighth prince Xie Qi was also behind her.

Jiang Fenghua lowered his voice and asked in confusion, "What are a man and a woman doing hiding behind a rockery?"

"What is the Crown Princess thinking about? I will explain it to you later." Lu Xuefei asked them not to make any sound and squeezed in again and again.

Xie Qi was also a little embarrassed and wanted to salute the Crown Princess, but he didn't know how to start the conversation in this situation. Lu Xuefei was following him, and they almost ran into these people halfway. Lu Xuefei got anxious and dragged him away to hide, and kept hiding.

Lu Xuefei was curious and didn't want to leave, so he had been hiding with her until now. It would feel weird if he went out now.

Jiang Fenghua looked outside again, and this time he saw them carrying a woman into a room. The color of the woman's clothes looked very familiar.

Lian Ye said, "The woman they are carrying seems to be Princess Yu."

"Yes, it's Luo Ziqiong." Jiang Fenghua said. She was thinking for a while, who knocked Luo Ziqiong unconscious and carried her here?

Is it Xie Yu?

Or Concubine Yan?

She clenched her fists and felt a chill in her heart. It was so vicious. If it was really Concubine Yan who did it, how could there be such a vicious mother-in-law in the world.

Lian Ye kept her eyes fixed forward and said anxiously, "It seems like another man has been carried in."

Lu Xuefei didn't know the truth. "Why did someone kidnap Princess Yu? They brought a man here. Could it be that someone wanted to frame Princess Yu?"

"Now is not the time to pursue this. Instead, we need to think of a way to rescue Luo Ziqiong without anyone noticing." Calling her Princess Yu now felt like an insult. They must be accusing Luo Ziqiong of having an affair, and then divorce her openly, or even want her dead so that they can make room for another woman.

"Can I help?" Xie Qi explained, "She is my second sister-in-law after all. If something bad happens to her in the palace, it will bring shame to the royal family."

"I'll lead those people away, and then you go and rescue them." Xie Qi suggested.

He is a man and it's okay for him to run away even if he can't win.

"Okay." Jiang Fenghua made a prompt decision. Today she only brought Lian Ye with her, leaving Aoxue and Hongxiu at Chenxi Palace to look after the children. Lin Feng also stayed with Xie Shang. Ye Ying took his men to Chenxi Palace to be on duty. She could only ask the people at the door to leave quickly. In case Luo Ziqiong was drugged and did something out of line, she would have to die.

After a while, Xie Qi suddenly walked to the corridor. He pretended to be drunk and staggered forward, reciting a poem, "A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a loved one, raising the cup to invite the bright moon, and my shadow and I become three people..."

As soon as he spoke, the people guarding the door pretended to leave in a hurry. Xie Qi continued to recite the poem and walked forward, "... I sing and the moon lingers, I dance and my shadow is scattered."

Here, Jiang Fenghua saw that there was no one in the corridor, and the three of them hurried over.

When they entered the room, they saw that Luo Ziqiong and the man were both unconscious. Jiang Fenghua didn't recognize the man, so he slapped Luo Ziqiong's face, but failed to wake her up. So he took the silver hairpin from her hair bun and stabbed it into her philtrum.

Luo Ziqiong woke up quickly. The lanterns in the corridor outside the door shone a faint light on Jiang Fenghua's face. She said, "Crown Princess, where is this place? Why am I here?"

"Get up and follow me. You've been tricked." Jiang Fenghua didn't have time to explain. Seeing that her clothes were deliberately torn and her shoes were taken off, he said, "Hurry up. It's too late."

Luo Ziqiong felt scared when she saw her own appearance. She had clearly just gone to the toilet, then fainted, and woke up here.

At the same time, Lu Xuefei also went to see who the man was. She didn't know until she saw him, and she was shocked, "Ah!"

"Ah what? You know him!" It was too dark and Jiang Fenghua couldn't see his face clearly.

"It's a long story. Let's wake him up first. Someone must want to harm him." Lu Xuefei said, "Even if Princess Yu wasn't here, I'm afraid he would die if he stayed here."

Jiang Fenghua also used the same method to try to wake the man up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't wake up.

Huh! what happened?

Lian Ye hid by the door and kept watch. "Hurry up!" Her heart was beating loudly.

Lu Xuefei took the initiative to help the man up, "Let me help him out and hide first! He is sick and may have an attack."

In a place like the palace, Jiang Fenghua and Luo Ziqiong couldn't possibly support a man given their status. If they ran into him outside, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves.

Jiang Fenghua would rather be cruel than sacrifice herself for a strange man.

At this time, Xie Qi ran back and asked, "What happened?"

"Eighth Prince, come and give me a hand." Lu Xuefei was seen holding one of the man's arms and was about to walk out.

Xie Qi didn't ask why, and he and Lu Xuefei really took the man away.

Jiang Fenghua took a look at the room. This kind of room was a side hall of the outer palace, which was built for temporary use. If someone was caught stealing in such a place, he would have no way of explaining himself.
