Chapter 172 It’s so lively
Chapter 172 It’s so lively
"My lady, be careful with the steps."
The maid's voice came from outside the house. Yu Guiwan immediately gave Nangong Yi a look, then looked at the window and signaled him to go out quickly. If someone came in and saw the two of them here, it would be difficult to explain.
Nangong Yi didn't continue to pester her. When he received Yu Guiwan's gaze, he immediately walked to the back and quickly climbed out of the window.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he climbed out of the window, another dagger was pressed against his neck. Nangong Yi recognized him as the guard beside Xie Sui. His expression immediately calmed down and he did not make a sound to avoid being heard in the house.
Bei Churen was also confused. The prince told him to wait here for news from the princess, and to go in and help immediately if there was any movement inside. However, he never expected that the young master of the Nangong family was here.
When Concubine Yu saw that the lock on the door was open, she didn't say anything and followed the palace maid to open the door.
But the next second, Yu Fei did not see the expected scene. She only saw Yu Guiwan sitting alone in the house drinking tea. Yu Guiwan even looked a little surprised when he saw Yu Fei coming over.
"Princess Chen is here too." Concubine Yu looked at Yu Guiwan sitting alone, trying to speak to her naturally, but her eyes involuntarily fell on other places, making it easy to know what she was thinking.
"Yes, I was a little drunk so I came here to rest. Your Majesty, are you here to rest too?" Yu Guiwan had something else in his words, and his eyes fell on Concubine Yu with a hint of inquiry.
"Yes, yes, I'm a little tired."
Seeing Yu Guiwan staring at her, Concubine Yu felt a little scared and touched her belly nervously.
"Your Majesty, please sit down and have some hot tea." Yu Guiwan took out another teacup and poured a cup of warm water. Then he began to think, could it be that this Yu Fei is also the eldest princess's person? But she didn't look like she had any ulterior motives.
Would Xie Rou really send such a person to deal with her?
Yu Guiwan was a little undecided, thinking that if only Xie Sui were here, then she wouldn't have to think about it. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl her lips. Now, she was indulged by Xie Sui and wanted to let go of everything.
Concubine Yu was very restless and could not find any trace of the foreign man in the house. She looked very puzzled. In the end, she simply gave up thinking about it and picked up the teacup to drink water.
"Why did Your Majesty come here with only a maid? If you were really tired, His Majesty and the Queen would not blame you if you went back to rest." Yu Guiwan spoke with a smile, but her words were full of tests.
"To be honest, Princess, the Queen doesn't like me. Today is the Queen's birthday and I don't want to spoil her fun." Concubine Yu actually saw it very clearly. Although the Queen didn't like her, she would not harm the child in her belly.
"Your Majesty has considered everything."
Yu Guiwan echoed this. It now seemed that this Jade Concubine was a simple-minded person. She was saying these things behind someone's back, even to someone she had only met once.
At this time, the two of them had not spoken yet. At this time, Xie Zhiyi walked towards them again, with a hint of anger on his face.
Yu Guiwan frowned.
This side hall is really lively tonight.
"Thoughtful?" Xie Zhiyi came to take a closer look and just happened to hear the last two sentences of Yu Guiwan and Yu Fei. Originally, when she saw Yu Fei walking out stealthily at the banquet, she immediately felt that something was wrong.
I didn’t expect that these two people would say these things behind my back. It seems that they are really in collusion with each other!
"You two are saying these things behind my back. I will report this to my father and have him punish you!" Xie Zhiyi spoke angrily, turning around and saying he was leaving.
When Concubine Yu heard what Xie Zhiyi said, she didn't expect that it had completely changed its meaning when it reached Xie Zhiyi's ears. She immediately stood up and tried to pull Xie Zhiyi to explain, but Xie Zhiyi, who was so angry, would not listen to anything she said.
Xie Zhiyi pushed Yu Fei away, and Yu Fei suddenly felt unstable and fell backwards.
"Xie Zhiyi, you're crazy! She's pregnant!"
Fortunately, Yu Guiwan was quick and caught Yu Fei steadily, then shouted angrily at Xie Zhiyi.
Suddenly, Xie Zhiyi was stunned. He looked at his right hand and realized what he had just done. He immediately turned around in panic. Fortunately, he saw Yufei standing safely.
"Are you OK?"
Xie Zhiyi looked at Concubine Yu and asked. She felt a little scared. She didn't mean to push them, she just felt annoyed and angry because they dared to talk about her mother behind her back.
Xie Zhiyi didn't know why his temper seemed to be getting worse and worse recently, and he seemed to be annoyed with everyone.
"No problem."
Concubine Yu touched her belly and then said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess Chen. If you hadn't supported me in time, I'm afraid the baby in my belly would be in danger." She looked at Yu Guiwan sincerely.
"You're welcome. It's my duty." She said with a smile. Yu Guiwan herself was still a little frightened. She almost didn't react in time. If something really happened to Concubine Yu, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Then let's go back together. I think the banquet is about to end."
Yu Guiwan stood up and spoke.
The three of them walked back to the main hall together. Xie Zhiyi seemed to be really scared. He followed the two of them back without saying anything.
When Bei Chu heard what Yu Guiwan said, he immediately let go of Nangong Yi and said, "Please understand, sir." Bei Chu put away the dagger, followed Yu Guiwan back, and disappeared into the night.

main hall.
Xie Rou chatted and laughed with everyone with a smile on her face, but as Yu Guiwan and the others were out for longer and longer periods of time, she began to feel uneasy. She thought, logically, something must have happened over there.
But at this time, no palace servant came to report the accident, which made her puzzled.
Even if Yu Guiwan could avoid the first thing, how could she possibly have anticipated the second thing?!
Xie Rou was just thinking about this when she saw Yu Guiwan and the other two returning together. They didn't seem to have any unusual expressions. Her face immediately darkened, but she didn't dare show it too obviously.
When Yu Guiwan walked in, she saw that Nangong Yi had returned to his seat. She immediately looked away and looked at Xie Sui, so that the guy wouldn't get jealous again.
She sat down and looked across, and found that Xie Rou was also looking at her. She gave her a faint smile in return.
It wasn't until she was on her way back that she finally understood what had happened tonight. It turned out that Yu Fei helping Xie Rou go to the side hall wasn't the main point; Xie Zhiyi's arrival was the main point. If the two had argued and started fighting...
Then the situation would be out of control if something really happened to Concubine Yu.
I'm afraid neither she nor Xie Zhiyi can escape this incident.
