Jia Concubine said with added fuel and vinegar on the side, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid things are not so simple, if Ye Guifei really wants to stay with the princess for a long time, then why do you want her to make food?" This is clearly treating the princess as a subordinate. ”

In the eyes of the emperor, although Chen Youyi was personally demoted to a commoner, he is still the eldest princess of Chen Guo, there is no doubt about this, if others dare to treat Chen Youyi as a person, he is the first to be unwilling, just ask who in the world dares to do against the emperor? Even if Yuefu is powerful, it can't come so blatantly.

"It's probably to avoid tongues, if you don't say that, I'm afraid others will talk nonsense again, this is just an excuse, after all, Youyi is still a commoner now, and he entered the palace in such an identity, so it's okay to say this." The emperor spoke for Ye Guifei instead, he didn't think that Ye Guifei would harm Chen Youyi, this was in the palace.

Jia Concubine was a little unconvinced, this matter couldn't just pass, so she continued, "Then if the emperor also goes to Ye Guifei's palace to have a look, maybe the princess is still there, you see, these little girls are serving the princess outside the palace, they are all so worried, at least we have to find the princess, so that these minions can rest assured, and even if Ye Guifei really wants to keep the princess, she should also tell the princess's subordinates, it is not appropriate to let the family worry so much." ”

Concubine Jia is reminding the emperor intentionally or unintentionally that there is definitely something wrong with Ye Guifei, but it is inconvenient to say it clearly.

The emperor reflected for a while, but felt that this matter was indeed a little strange, and slowly put down the pen he picked up again, "Okay, since you said so, then let's go to Ye Guifei's palace to see if the princess is there." ”

"Okay, the concubine will accompany the emperor." Jia Concubine was happy in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor, and the two of them came to Ye Guifei's palace together, Jia Concubine pretended to be completely unaware from beginning to end, and specially sent someone to inform Taro Guiren that she must let her keep Chen Youyi, and make a good confession with her, let her wait patiently, the emperor will pass sooner or later.

"The Imperial Concubine is here!" A reply from the eunuch outside made Ye Guifei feel at ease, but she quickly calmed down and scolded the little eunuch, "What's the panic, isn't it normal for the emperor to come?" Shouting is like doing something unseemly. ”

The palace maid helped her get up, and met the emperor who entered the door at the door, and Concubine Ye hurriedly asked for peace.

The emperor lifted her up with his own hand and asked with a smile, "I heard that you called Youyi to the palace last night, and you haven't seen you for many years, and it's normal to catch up with the past, but if you want to stay with Youyi in the palace for the night in the future, you must send someone to tell the people around her, you see, this is all found with me." The emperor pointed to Xue'er standing behind him, and saw her standing at the door with her head down, and she didn't dare to say anything, nor did she look up.

After hearing this, Ye Guifei's face changed greatly, and she couldn't speak, but she still helped the emperor to sit down on the soft couch, and kept thinking about how to round this matter in her mind, and tried to say that it had nothing to do with herself, "The princess did come to my palace last night, but I was a little tired at the time, I fell asleep when the princess came, and the princess was also sensible and didn't want to disturb me, so she left." ”

"Left?" The emperor looked at Ye Guifei with a suspicious look on his face, "Then where did she go?" Do the people in your palace know? ”

"Where do they know this, the princess likes to be free, and she comes and goes without a trace, I think she probably went back to her residence." Ye Guifei said, glancing at Concubine Jia on the side, calculating in her heart what happened here, and Chen Youyi has not returned to her residence until now, where can she go?

"There's no one at your residence, no one here except you, no one met her last night except you, can she fly out with wings?" The emperor was angry, slapped the table, and the teacup fell to the ground, so frightened that everyone knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.

"The concubine really doesn't know where the princess went, but I don't think she will leave this palace, maybe she just came back and went to see the person she was friends with before, or maybe the prince or the queen." Ye Guifei tried hard to push this matter onto others.

Jia Concubine hurriedly interjected on the side, "I just came back from the queen's mother, the princess is not there, I went directly to the princess's residence after I came out, that place is simply uninhabited, and it is really a poor princess, but what is even more pitiful is that the princess still doesn't know where she went." ”

In this way, the emperor put all his attention on Ye Guifei's body, and Ye Guifei began to feel a little hairy, although the emperor did not really have feelings for the harem concubines, but after all, they were the women around him, and he still understood the temperament of these women, so when Ye Guifei deliberately avoided his gaze, he had already guessed the matter.

However, he didn't lose his temper at this time, but suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Ye Guifei asked You Yi to come to you to cook for you yesterday, but is it true?" ”

Ye Guifei hurriedly said, "No, I just called her over to catch up on the old days, after all, I haven't seen her for so many years, and I don't know if the eldest princess is okay outside." ”

The emperor narrowed his eyes, he couldn't believe all of this kind of words, but he couldn't disbelieve it, "Then where did she go later?" When did she leave, who sent her away, at what hour, and what did she say? ”

The emperor's series of questions made Ye Guifei stunned for a while, and she couldn't think of an answer for a while, she was also worried that if she opened her mouth and said it casually, when the emperor found out that what she said was wrong, it would be a crime of bullying the king.

"What's the matter, don't dare to speak? Didn't you say she was here and then gone? Then you should know these things! The emperor asked, Ye Guifei didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a long time, she only said, "I was too tired at the time, so I fell asleep, and I don't know when she left, probably because she saw me sleeping after coming and left by herself." ”

"Could it be that when Youyi left here, the people in your palace don't know?" The emperor's eyes swept towards the people around him, and the eunuchs and palace maids in Ye Guifei's palace were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground, claiming that they didn't know where the eldest princess had gone.

The more it looked, the more the emperor felt that there must be something here, otherwise they would never be like this, he took a deep breath, "Ye Guifei, I remember that when Youyi was in the palace in the past, you and her didn't get along very well, and now that she is back in the palace, you are the first to call her to the palace, is it really just to catch up?" ”
