One second. Org, free of charge!

On the other side.

In the long corridor outside the Zhaoning Palace, the Infanta Yuehai was in a hurry.

Since it was already too late, the Infanta Yuehai did not specially rush over, and leisurely left the engaged imperial concubine's place, with nothing to do during the journey.

However, before Yuehai even arrived at Zhaoning Palace, he heard a piece of news.

Fifth Prince was assassinated.

This was a huge matter that was akin to a knife falling from the sky.

One had to know that the Fifth Prince was the Empress's precious treasure. Even the crown prince did not have the weight that the Fifth Prince had in the empress's heart.

Infanta Yuehai walked quickly.

After her parents passed away, they had entered the palace for many years. These two, when they treated her like a pearl or a treasure, she would treat any prince or princess with contempt and not even the crown prince or Fifth Prince would treat them lightly.

"Princess, this way." When the little palace maid saw Yuehai walking over quickly, he quickly lifted the curtain and pointed to a room for him.

When Infanta Yuehai entered, he saw that the inside of the house was quiet.

It was abnormally quiet.

The ladies who had thought that the Fifth Prince would be dead, so they came to eat. However, there were no outsiders present here.

The Empress sat in front of the bed with her back to the door, Shu Zhen served by her side.

On the bed, the figure of a person could be vaguely seen. Infanta Yuehai guessed that it was Fifth Prince.

"Empress …" With a light voice, the Infanta Yuehai carefully closed in.

Shu Zhen turned around and made a silent gesture towards the Infanta Yuehai, then cautiously looked at the Empress.

Infanta Yuehai's mouth fell shut. When he got closer, he discovered that the Empress's expression was extremely ugly.

It was only natural for a mother to have an unsightly expression after her son and son had been killed.

The Infanta Yuehai felt his heart ache, but just as he was about to speak, he heard a vague sound coming from the bed.

"Ugh …"

Infanta Yuehai looked over, so did the Queen and Shu Zhen.

Rong Fei did not wake up. After the imperial physician left, he had been in a coma the entire time. Until now, he had only let out a few groans, but he had quickly lost consciousness.

Infanta Yuehai didn't know how the Fifth Prince was faring, and didn't dare to ask. He could only obediently stand behind the Empress with his eyes fixed on Shu Zhen.

Shu Zhen did not speak, his expression was just very subtle.

Not long after, Fifth Prince fell asleep again. While Infanta Yuehai was still making wild guesses, the Queen suddenly spoke up, "Yuehai."

The Infanta Yuehai immediately replied, "Esteemed Empress …"

The Queen turned her head and looked at Yuehai with her pitch-black eyes. After a long while, she stretched out her hand.

Infanta Yuehai hurriedly passed his hands over and placed them in the empress's hands.

The empress caressed the Yuehai's small hand, her voice somewhat light. "I have something to ask of you."

"What orders do you have from the Empress? This Yuehai will definitely not fail in his mission."

The Empress seemed to be very satisfied with the answer, and looked at Infanta Yuehai for a while longer before slowly saying: "Regarding the Lin Family's marriage, I want to withdraw."

Infanta Yuehai was stunned: "Empress is referring to the Lin Clan, Miss Lian and Brother Fei's case? Why? Didn't the Empress say that Miss Lian is the most suitable candidate for Big Brother Fei? She also said that even though Big Brother Fei disagrees with this matter, as time passes, he will naturally understand your painstaking efforts. Naturally, he will also understand how good Miss Lian is. "

Infanta Yuehai was aware of Rong Fei's marriage.

Not only did he know, he had also participated in many things, including how to make the Emperor retract his order, withdraw the engagement between Lin Qilian and Seventh Prince, and how to betroth his son to the Lin Family to accept the Fifth Marquis' Mansion's gift, making it difficult for Rong Fei to stop riding the tiger. Both of these ideas were known to the Yuehai.

The Lin family was the empress's mother's family, and right now, the Lin family was at the peak of glory. In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, and the Fifth Prince had the assistance of the Lin family, this pair of brothers would only grow bigger and bigger in the future.

The Infanta Yuehai knew that there was a high stake in this place, and because of this, the empress's sudden annulment of the engagement had left people completely befuddled.

The Queen did not explain any further, only patting Infanta Yuehai on the hand and saying, "Are you willing to help me?"

Infanta Yuehai hurriedly said, "Although I do not know what Empress wants, but you have your own reasons for what Empress wants to do. If you need anything, just say it out, and Yuehai will definitely comply."

The empress gave a gratified smile and said, "Then tomorrow, you can send the marriage annulment certificate to the Lin Family. However, if you were to send it, you would also need a title."

Infanta Yuehai was just about to say that it would not be good for an outsider to send him the marriage annulment certificate, but hearing the Queen's words, he decided to wait and see what would happen, waiting for the Queen's next words.

"Since you've decided to help me, no matter what, you can just send me off as Fei Er's fiancee."

"Empress?" Infanta Yuehai was shocked, her instinct made her take a step back.

But the empress held onto Yuehai's hand and did not let him retreat, her tone had only become more solemn, but her words continued to explain, "Fei Er's body is not in a good condition, so this empress should not be empty either. Although in this name, it would harm you and your reputation, but if I do not entrust this matter to you, who else can I rely on? Yuehai, you are a good child, ever since you came to my place, have I ever felt wronged in the slightest? This time, I have truly come to the end of my road, which is why I am counting on you. "

The Infanta Yuehai was truly frightened this time. Who was the empress, the master of the imperial palace, the mother of all the people, under one person and above everyone else, they had interacted with each other for many years. This was the first time the Infanta Yuehai saw the empress lower her position so low to the point of appearing to be begging someone.

Infanta Yuehai was in disbelief, but at the same time, she sincerely believed that the Empress's current state was not good, not good at all.

Perhaps, the injuries sustained by Fifth Prince were so severe that the empress was no longer able to endure them.

He gripped the empress's hand, pursed his lips and said: "Empress, it is not that Yuehai is afraid of losing his reputation, within the capital and beyond, who doesn't know that Yuehai is unruly and willful? How could I have any reputation to speak of, but, if I were to go to the Lin Family with this identity, I'm afraid that the Lin Family will be angry, and the Empress is a member of the Lin Family.

A wry smile was revealed on the Empress's face as she lowered her eyes and said: "It is precisely because I am a member of the Lin Family that I am not allowed to step in."

"Why?"

The empress, however, did not say anything. She only looked into Infanta Yuehai's eyes and asked, "Just tell me, are you willing to help me out?"

Since he said he was going to help, he was naturally willing to help. However, even though he had to agree to it, he couldn't bring himself to do so.

Thinking about Rong Ling, and how he was going to go out to walk as the fiancee of another man, although it was only one time, was only one day, or perhaps it was just two hours, Yuehai still felt uncomfortable, as if this was his disloyalty towards Big Brother Leng.
