"Maybe the best is yet to come." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. When His Majesty is here later, Concubine Lin will definitely mention this matter.

After what happened to Concubine Ning, she probably won’t come to the dinner.

"Long live His Majesty!" Everyone immediately saluted, and the emperor wearing a dragon robe slowly walked in from outside the door.

When his eyes fell on the empty seat, he couldn't help feeling angry. This was the Central Plains Festival, and the royal family had taken a liking to it, so how could anyone dare not come?

"Whose seat is this? Where is the person?" The emperor spoke as soon as he sat down, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on the empty seat.

Concubine Lin took a look and then stood up apologetically and bowed slightly to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Lady Ning had a miscarriage today, so it is really inappropriate for her to attend such a banquet."

Miscarriage?

The emperor's face immediately darkened, "How could she have a miscarriage?" It was obvious that he didn't care about Concubine Ning. If the child was born, he would make him a prince and let the prince enjoy the treatment he deserved.

"I accidentally fell while admiring the flowers today." Concubine Lin answered everything in detail without bringing Ye Xuwan into the matter.

"It doesn't matter if the child is gone. Today is the Central Plains Festival. Call her over." The emperor spoke immediately.

Concubine Lin was slightly stunned, and then immediately spoke up to stop him, "Concubine Ning just had a miscarriage, and her body is really weak. Besides, I'm afraid it will bring something bad."

Although superstition is not allowed in the palace, Your Majesty has great faith in the Imperial Observatory. The Imperial Observatory said that the Central Plains Festival is good, so the palace has held a grand celebration over the years.

"Father, I think we should invite Lady Ning here. The Zhongyuan Festival can drive away evil spirits. Your Majesty is so gracious that everyone in the palace should do the same."

Ye Xuwan couldn't sit still and spoke. What she did was a little against the rules, but since the prince was here, no one dared to say anything to her.

"The Crown Princess has a different opinion." The emperor spoke immediately and then fell into deep thought. In his eyes, he felt that what both of them said made a lot of sense.

Concubine Lin's face darkened a little. She immediately told the story of Concubine Ning falling down, but she exaggerated a little, saying that the Crown Princess was walking beside Concubine Ning when she fell.

"Go and invite Lady Ning over. I want to see what this matter is all about." The emperor spoke immediately, and the eunuchs around him immediately ran out of the hall to call for help.

The eunuch who had just gone out came back after a while with an anxious look on his face.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Lady Ning has committed suicide."

The eunuch spoke hurriedly, the original music stopped immediately, and everyone's faces were filled with disbelief.

We were all enjoying the flowers together during the day, but how come everyone was gone before the dinner was over?

Committed suicide?
There was a hint of compassion in Ye Xuwan's eyes. The person was still fine in the afternoon, but she didn't expect that he would be gone so soon.

"Bury the person properly." The emperor's tone was a little low. When someone died on a day like this, his mood would also be affected.

The Central Plains Festival is a big day, but I never expected something like this would happen.

"According to the decree."

The singing and dancing continued, and the hall was very lively, as if nothing had happened.

"Wan'er, this is not your fault." Mo Yunzheng noticed her abnormal mood and immediately spoke to comfort her. Although Concubine Lin said something righteous just now, she was just trying hard to put the blame on Wan'er.

Ye Xuwan curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled. Of course she knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, but she wanted to find out who was responsible for this matter.

How could such a healthy person just disappear like that? Perhaps all this had something to do with Concubine Lin.

Her eyes slowly fell on Concubine Lin, who was talking to His Majesty with a smile. "This life is like grass in the palace." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly, and everyone didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

Two lives disappeared in front of their eyes today, but no one wanted to have anything to do with this matter.

Perhaps some concubines were still celebrating privately, thinking that Concubine Ning deserved it.

Ye Xuwan felt a little depressed and stood up to walk outside. Mo Yunzheng grabbed her arm.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to relax."

Ye Xuwan brought Hua Ying out of the hall. It was pitch black outside, with only a few places lit by faint candlelight.

She walked towards the pavilion not far away and saw a figure there at a glance.

"The eldest prince." She stopped outside the pavilion, looking at the drunk man in front of her and was a little afraid to go forward.

Mo Qingsong is a complete madman, he can do more unexpected things.

"Ye Xuwan?" Mo Qingsong spoke slowly. At this moment, there were no palace rules in his eyes. He directly called her by her full name.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please have a good rest here. I will leave first." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. She didn't want to stay in the same place with him.

"The Crown Prince should add some vitality to the palace as soon as possible." Concubine Lin said with a smile. What she meant by this was to urge Mo Yunzheng to let Ye Xuwan give birth to a little prince as soon as possible.

Mo Yunzheng had a faint smile on his face, "As the crown prince, I should focus on state affairs."

Wasn't it that she tried every means to get Concubine Rong by her side last time? But unfortunately, Concubine Rong didn't have that fate.

"Yun Zheng is already at this age, and it's time for him to have children." The emperor spoke slowly, and this matter should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

While everyone was talking and laughing, a palace maid hurriedly ran in from outside and fell to her knees in the hall.

"Oh no, the Crown Princess is having a tryst with the guards."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face was filled with surprise, and Mo Yunzheng's face immediately darkened.

The emperor's face immediately darkened. "Bring the person to me." Such an important festival did not allow him a moment of peace.

When Ye Xuwan came in, she was completely dazed and looked at the people inside with a helpless look.

"How dare you have a secret meeting with someone? Where do you put the dignity of the royal family?" The emperor slapped the table, and Ye Xuwan frowned immediately.

She just went out to get some fresh air, how come things turned out like this when she came back?

"Father, I don't have it." Ye Xuwan knelt in the hall with her back straight.

Mo Yunzheng frowned and was about to step forward when he was stopped by the emperor.

"You stop."

The guards outside the door were tied up and brought in, and as soon as they came in, they were forced to kneel together with Ye Xuwan.

The scene was extremely ugly, and Ye Xuwan's face turned completely dark. She had not expected things to develop like this.

"Are you worthy of being the Crown Princess if you have a secret meeting with an outsider?" the Emperor scolded in a low voice. This was not a glorious thing to begin with, and it was discovered by a palace maid and brought to the palace to be exposed.

"Father, I just went out to get some fresh air. I don't know why such rumors would spread." It had only been a short time before such unpleasant rumors spread, and they even reached your Majesty directly. (End of this chapter)
