“Miss, lao ye has already left the fu to chase them!” Liu Xing ran in gasping for breath, reporting excitedly. But upon seeing Yao Mo Wan’s clothes that had a large amount of exposure, his heart felt as if it dropped to the ground.
“Got it. Ting Yue, let’s go.” Yao Mo Wan gathered all of her strength in order to maintain the smile on her lips as she slowly lifted her body.
“Miss…… You really want to enter the palace……” Liu Xing’s throat choked as he forced out the question.
“This is my only way out.” Yao Mo Wan saw the confusion and reluctance in Liu Xing’s eyes. It was a pity, everything in her life had already flipped from the time she was in Fragrant Harmony Courtyard
Within Plum Pavilion, the sound of strings and wind instruments stirred one’s heart. Ye Hong Yi languidly sat on a wisteria bamboo chair in the main hall, his fingers played with the jade pendant at his waist as his dark pupils looked with entertained appreciation at Yao Su Luan’s body that was dancing in the center of the hall. Only seeing Yao Su Luan’s toes tap the floor and her body was like the butterflies that danced amidst the flowers, captivatingly beautiful. Ye Hong Yi couldn’t help but admit that Yao Su Luan’s dance was unique and unmatched in all of the Inner Palace. Being able to see her dancing counted as quite an enjoyment.
Finishing on dance, Yao Su Luan’s charming eyes were like silk. Just as she wanted to get ready to properly, thoroughly serve Ye Hong Yi, a bunch of noise suddenly came from outside the door.
“Your Majesty, please quell your anger. This qie will head out to take a look.” Seeing Ye Hong Yi’s eyes slightly darken, Yao Su Luan immediately commanded the musician to play some lighthearted tunes and with quick steps left the room.
Outside the Plum Pavilion, Yao Su Luan’s personal maid, Cai Ying was currently firmly blocking Ting Yue from coming in.
“Who is it that’s making a racket outside? If you startle His Holy Highness, do you guys have enough heads to be chopped!?” When Yao Su Luan walked out of Plum Pavilion, she arrived just in time to see Ting Yue and Cai Ying tangled in a fight.
“Niang niang, this girl……” Before Cai Ying finished speaking, Ting Yue suddenly pushed aside Cai Ying and hurriedly threw herself in front of Yao Su Luan.
“Gui fei niang niang, it’s bad! Big Madam found out that lao ye took a third concubine outside who even gave birth to a son, and rushed out to find them, saying that she wants to kill that pair of mother and son. Lao ye also rushed out after hearing of this, it seems he even brought a knife……” Ting Yue looked anxiously towards Yao Su Luan as she reported, flustered.
Hearing this, Yao Su Luan was slightly shocked and sized Ting Yue up suspiciously.
“Father took a third concubine? Why did ben gong never hear of this? If ben gong did not remember wrong, you seem to be the second concubine’s maid!” Yao Su Luan’s pupils gradually chilled as she spoke coldly.
“This servant is Ting Yue. Just now, it was this servant that personally saw Big Madam rush out crazily. Lao ye also followed after riding a palanquin……” Seeing Yao Su Luan this calm, Ting Yue’s heart panicked and her tone became somewhat weaker. Just when Yao Su Luan wanted to speak again, Yao Tu suddenly ran over from behind.
“Li fei niang niang, something terrible has happened. You better head to Su fu. Right now, besides niang niang, there’s no one else that can persuade lao ye! Big Madam is in imminent peril!” Yao Tu breathlessly reported.
Gui fei is a title that tells YSL’s concubine position. It’s a pretty high rank. Then there’s her given title, li fei that the emperor grants as like a nickname. Li Fei translates to beautiful concubine.

Seeing it was Yao Tu, Yao Su Luan’s heart thumped and she immediately pushed Ting Yue aside to walk to Yao Tu.
“Is what you said true?” Yao Su Luan grew up in Xiang fu and naturally knew about Yao Tu’s usual calmness and steadfast loyalty.
“Lao ye took a third wife outside, the child is already four years old as well. You understand Big Madam’s temper the most. Lao ye’s son-loving heart, you also know clearly! If you don’t go, the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate!” Yao Tu’s eyes were filled with panic as he anxiously spoke.
“But what about His Majesty?” Yao Su Luan in the end was a daughter with filial piety. Hearing that her own mother was in trouble, she somewhat became flustered about what she should do next.
“Saving someone is like putting out a fire, isn’t it best if niang niang waited until your return to explain to His Majesty?” Yao Tu suggested.
“Whatever! Yao Tu, you lead the way. Cai Ying, come with ben gong!” Yao Su Luan’s willow eyebrows knitted as she urgently headed towards the direction of the fu doors.
Seeing Yao Tu lead Yao Su Luan and Cai Ying away with her own eyes, Ting Yue fiercely wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. At this time, Yao Mo Wan had already walked into Plum Pavilion.
“Miss?” Ting Yue looked with worry towards Yao Mo Wan.
“You, stay outside and guard. Say that it’s the Second Miss’s orders. You can’t let anyone come in.” Yao Mo Wan’s voice was quiet as a tranquil lake, yet unconcealable chill still penetrated through it. Her beautiful-as-butterfly-wings pupils stared straight at the room in the Plum Pavilion. From within, the delightful sounds of musical instruments flitted past her ears. Yao Mo Wan curled her lips mockingly, this is the day of her funeral services, it really was pretty lively.
Inside the room, Ye Hong Yi was feeling bored and was just about to send the musicians away when the door of the room was suddenly opened only to show a girl with a nimble body suddenly appearing. The girl’s brows were like crescent moons, her almond-shaped eyes contained spring, light gauze concealed her face but a hazy pretty and flirtatious mien penetrated through the gauze. The brightly-colored flirty clothes on her body was separated at the top and the bottom. The coloring was garish and beautiful and in the middle a slim waist gave a panoramic view. Accompanied by the melody, the girl sauntered to the center stage. Her body whirled and the fluttery skirt on the lower half of her body fluttered up, revealing a pair of pure jade white legs that immediately and greatly aroused Ye Hong Yi’s interest.
