Feng Yu was secretly worried about Xiao Xin's actions. After all, this was the Imperial Palace, if outsiders were to see Xiao Xin act this way, it would be offending the Imperial Family, and if anyone wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Xin, it would be a crime to be executed.
However, when Feng Yu saw that not only did Chu Aotian not blame him for his actions, she seemed to actually enjoy it a lot.
Currently, Chu Aotian's actions were clearly not one that truly wanted to help Sect Master look for Xuanyuan Zhan. How could Feng Yun's sharp thinking not see through Chu Aotian's intentions? He quietly sat to the side and watched Chu Aotian play around with Xiao Xin, but in his heart, he was pondering about other methods.
Xiao Xin finished her wine in one gulp and immediately shouted towards Chu Aotian: "You want to make things difficult for me with just this little bit of wine? Since you insist on not returning home after drinking, then let's drink to our heart's content." After she finished speaking, Xiao Xin took a few steps towards the jar of wine, as if she was completely immersed in the delicacies of the best wine.
Seeing that, Chu Aotian immediately laughed out loud, and instructed the eunuchs beside him: Go, get some good wine!
Just as the three of them were deep in thought, a group of people wearing the official uniform rushed over from the main hall. Although they were also eunuchs, judging from their attire, this eunuch's status was definitely not small in the palace.
"Your Highness, this old official shall summon the crown prince to the empress's chambers in the name of the empress!" The eunuch took a large step forward and respectfully bowed towards Chu Aotian, his gaze occasionally sweeping towards Feng Yu and Xiao Xin who were at the side.
"Queen Mother? How did the Queen Mother know that I had returned to the palace? May I know what is the matter that Mother summoned me for? " Chu Aotian hurriedly shook his brain, and upon hearing the words' Queen ', he immediately went forward and asked.
The eunuch replied respectfully, "When the empress heard that the Crown Prince had brought back a savior, she wanted to personally express her thanks. But it is inconvenient to travel at this time of the night so she sent a servant to summon His Highness!"
"Oh!" Chu Aotian gave two bland replies, he had long been deep in thought, it seemed that the news about him had already spread throughout the palace, there must be many people around him who wanted to do this.
There wasn't much change on his face. He just nodded and replied, "Understood. You can leave now. When I wake up and go see my mother, I won't be able to breathe anymore."
When the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly bowed and slowly retreated. As he left, he did not forget to take a few glances at Feng Yu.
Feng Yu had seen too much of the television, so how could she not know the meaning behind the gaze of the eunuch in front of him? It seemed that she had already noticed him, and according to the theory of television, this person was very likely to be one of the leaders of the crown prince's imperial harem.
Chu Aotian calmly received the cup of cold water from the servant and drank it all in one gulp, as if he wanted to ease the smell of alcohol on his body. He slightly exhaled a few mouthfuls of impure air, looked at the person by the side being careful and stared blankly for quite a while, then said with a smile: "Nothing, there's nothing going on.
Seeing that, Xiao Xin hurriedly nodded her head, it seemed like Feng Yu was not the only one who was shocked by the eunuch, even Xiao Xin was the same.
Seeing Chu Aotian straightening his clothes and slowly walking out of the crown prince's hall, Xiao Xin hurriedly slipped beside Feng Yu, and asked in a low voice: "That eunuch from before was really scary, his gaze when he looked at me was as if he wanted to eat me. It's just as you said, this place is filled with dangers, it's fortunate that Chu Aotian is by my side, otherwise, if I stayed any longer, I would have been pierced to death by the cold stare coming from the side."
"Who asked you to be so greedy, you actually dare to drink the crown prince's wine, the only person in this world who can do so is probably you, Xiao Xin." When Feng Yu saw Xiao Xin's expression, she immediately laughed and started berating him.
Xiao Xin helplessly raised her small mouth, seeing that her surroundings were empty, she immediately said: "Let's go out for a walk, it's good news at the crown prince's palace, if we stay here too long, we'll definitely feel uneasy. The palace is so big, let's take a look!"
If he were to wander around now, it would definitely bring him trouble and he would want to open his mouth to refuse. But just as Xiao Xin had said, the space in the crown prince's hall made Feng Yu feel uneasy as well.
He thought that if he walked around nearby and was met with trouble, with Chu Aotian's support, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Who would have known that Feng Yu and Xiao Xin had just landed in a pavilion on the lakeside, and woke up with a noble and beautiful silhouette. Feng Yu had seen many peerlessly beautiful women on television and in reality, but facing this person in front of him, Feng Yu felt that they were definitely the most outstanding beauties that she had ever seen.
Her clothes fluttered in the air like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. Along with the gentle breeze that followed her figure, waves of fragrance filled the entire lake, and even the lotuses in the lake seemed to be intoxicated by this fragrance to the point that they lowered their proud and resplendent radiance.
The person who had just arrived was none other than the "Crown Princess". At this moment, the Crown Princess slowly came to Feng Yu's side. She stopped her graceful steps in front of Feng Yu and fixed her gaze on him with a gentle and curious smile.
Feng Yu looked at the princess consort in surprise. When the two of them looked at each other, she immediately withdrew her gaze. That strong aura made Feng Yu instinctively bend over and bow respectfully.
The Crown Princess laughed and asked, "Are you the one who brought the Crown Prince to the palace?" I heard that you all saved the life of the crown prince, is that true? "
Hearing the princess consort's words, he felt at ease. With regards to the relationship between the crown prince and Chu Aotian, the princess definitely wouldn't make things difficult for him, so he was overjoyed. He was about to raise his head to meet the princess consort's gaze, but Feng Yu, who was beside him, hastily stopped him.
Feng Yu did not dare to hesitate as she replied respectfully, "It is indeed my two men, but I have just heard the real body of the crown prince. I did not expect that the crown prince would be so hospitable and insistent on leaving the two of them to travel the palace for a few days, if there are any more interruptions, I hope Crown Princess consort will forgive me!"
Feng Yu's words seemed casual, but in reality, it was the Crown Prince's consort. They didn't want to stay here for too long to make him feel at ease, but the Crown Prince insisted on keeping them here. The two of them had no choice but to bow in the palace.
"No wonder such a knowledgeable person would be favored by the crown prince. I came here to personally thank the benefactor of the crown prince, and since we've met here, let me know, what do you want? I will do my best to satisfy all of you! " The imperial concubine chuckled softly, but in her heart, she was thinking of sending Feng Yu and Xiao Xin out of the palace as soon as possible.
"No no, this little girl does not have any other thoughts, she only wishes to meet Xuanyuan Zhan once in the palace. After hearing the crown prince's words, Xuanyuan Zhan was invited to participate in the Emperor's birthday banquet, thus this little girl followed the crown prince back to the palace, and only wishes to meet with Emperor of Xiao Country Xuanyuan Zhan!" Feng Yu respectfully said without showing any falsehood in her tone. Even the Crown Princess couldn't tell that there was no such thing as an expiration date.
The Crown Princess was satisfied. She nodded with a smile that was even wider than before. She smiled and said, "In that case, you two can stay in the palace for a few days. If there is anything you need help with, you can come to my room." After saying so, the Crown Princess waved her hand and left hurriedly with her servants.
Seeing that, Xiao Xin heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "I was so scared just now. It was clearly the princess consort, why didn't you let me speak with you? With Chu Aotian by his side, the princess consort should be one of her own! "
"Xiao Xin, you are too young to understand the dangers of the palace, and although it may seem like you met the princess consort by chance, it is very likely that the princess consort came knocking on your door on purpose. The most common thing in the palace is that the empress dowager is fighting for the concubine's favor, and as the future emperor of the NANOU, Chu Aotian is very likely to bring a woman back to the palace that would cause danger for the princess consort …" Feng Yu did not say the rest of her words.
Xiao Xin was surprised that she didn't understand her words, and looked at the princess' disappearing back in disbelief.
The Crown Princess had just left when one of her trusted aides rushed up to her and asked, "If you have any arrangements, please tell me. These two women aren't that surprising. Compared to the Crown Princess, they are really inferior."
The princess' mouth smiled when she heard this, but she refused to agree, "How could that be? That woman is telling me that she never had any intentions towards the crown prince, so it would be better if she didn't have any. She should pay more attention to Feng Yu and report anything about her to me in the next few days."
"Yes sir!" When the servant standing aside heard this, he immediately left the Crown Princess's side in a hurry with respect.
The Crown Princess just stretched out her hands and put them in front of her eyes. She looked at her nails and smiled.
Chu Aotian, who was at the other side, rushed out of the empress dowager's palace. When he found out from the empress dowager that the crown prince's wife had informed him of all this, he immediately felt resentful. It was very possible that she had lured him away from the mountain and rushed back to the crown prince's palace in a fluster.
Not long after, she bumped into the Crown Prince's consort. Seeing Chu Aotian's anxious look, the Crown Prince's consort was annoyed for some reason, but she did not dare to make a sound. She immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, where are you rushing to?"
"Stop pretending to be innocent here. Let me ask you, where are Feng Yu and Xiao Xin? If you dare to do anything to the two of them, don't blame me for being merciless! " Annoyed, Chu Aotian immediately rushed forward and put all his strength into holding the princess consort's wrist in his palm. He fiercely questioned the princess consort, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.
The crown prince's wife was already no longer afraid of the existence of Feng Yu and Xiao Xin earlier, but now that she saw the crown prince's actions, she immediately became angry.
