Chapter 77
Yiman naturally understood that the companion was not a palace maid. If she was always around to give instructions like a palace maid, she would probably have a reputation of being harsh to the courtiers and their families, but Cheng Youping and Cheng Youseng understood in their hearts.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Whatever I do, I have to take care of her safety."

The prince knew what the emperor was doing and was convinced.He glanced at the door and said, "If my father is really serious about it, you can't stop him. You have to make plans in advance."

Yiman nodded, "I understand."

The prince smiled and said, "The New Year is almost here. This is the first time you have celebrated the New Year in the palace since you returned to the palace. Is there anything you want to do in Manman?"

Yiman rolled his eyes and said rather playfully, "I don't know, brother, just give it to me, I do have a gift."

With that said, he took a small bag from Ji Lan's hand and took out a prescription.

"This is a prescription and medicinal materials for treating congenital deficiencies. I haven't asked anyone to see it yet. Brother Huang, you can ask a trustworthy imperial physician or Huang Huifeng to check and make sure it is correct before using it. If you have any questions, please tell me."

The prince took it and his expression became solemn, "Who did you make a deal with and what was the price?"

Yiman raised his chin to the door nonchalantly, "The price is Miss Cheng outside. It's not a big deal. Brother Emperor, don't worry."

Prescriptions that are hard to find in the world and medicinal materials that are hard to buy for tens of millions of dollars are not something that ordinary people can come up with, and Cheng Youseng naturally cannot.

The prince was afraid that Yiman, being young, would be deceived, fall into the trap, and sell himself out without knowing it.There was nothing but worry and regret in his eyes. If he had known better, he wouldn't have let Huang Huifeng take his pulse.

"I have more than just my father's secret guards around me. You will take away another secret guard later."

The prince is the target of all princes and their backs, and his situation is much more dangerous than that of a powerless princess.

Yiman shook his head slightly, "No, the secret guards my father has arranged around me now don't dare to confide anything to my father easily. When I go out, I bring dozens of palace officials from Qingsi Palace with me, so nothing will happen."

The prince thought for a while and said without saying much, "Okay then."

"Princess, princess—"

Songguo shouted loudly outside, Yiman and the prince looked at each other, stood up and walked out.

Songguo jumped anxiously. Seeing Yiman come out, she quickly lowered her voice in Yiman's ear, "Princess, the father-in-law of Yanying Palace went to Qingsi Palace to find Miss Cheng. Sister Hanzhi said that the visitor was evil and brought more than a dozen people with her. It’s not like an ordinary eunuch who asks someone to come and report the news quickly.”

He immediately fixed his gaze on Cheng Youping, tortured by claustrophobia!
She mentioned claustrophobia to the emperor, but she never expected that the emperor had no intention of taking a concubine, but instead wanted to kill them all.

Cheng Youping obviously guessed something when she saw the reaction of the master and the servant. Her face turned blue and her breathing suddenly became short, but her eyes showed calmness and perseverance.

The prince followed him out, glanced at Cheng Youping, and said to Yiman: "Have you asked someone to follow you?"

Yiman saw the cold light flashing in Cheng Youping's eyes and shook his head slightly, "I can solve it. If the emperor takes action, he will definitely make the father angry."

Without waiting for the prince's reaction, Yiman walked back with Yijia.

After leaving the East Palace, Yiman lowered his voice and said, "Songguo, go to the prison or Yeting. No matter what method you use, you must find someone who has committed a capital crime and is similar in size to her. Have someone ask Hanzhi to pick you up. Hanzhi is good at makeup, so I asked her to imitate Miss Cheng’s face to do the makeup for the sinner. Miss Cheng, follow Song Guo and change the clothes for the sinner, and then hide back in my inner room in Qingsi Palace."

Song Guo made a note of it carefully, grabbing Cheng Youping and running away.

Cheng Youping hesitated for a moment, "Princess, my maid——"

Yiman stopped abruptly, turned his head with a fierce gaze, and said in a cold, hard voice without questioning, "Do what I say."

Cheng Youping, who was used to seeing murderous intent in the army, was also frightened for a moment.

She never expected that the eldest princess would really spend her wealth to help her, but she didn't check for a moment and was dragged away by Pinecone.Yiman ordered a dozen more people in the ceremony and said, "Follow me. If you encounter an emergency, shout and report to me at Qingsi Hall."

A dozen young eunuchs responded and chased after him.

Yi Man walked quickly to Qingsi Hall, and after Hanzhi went to help, Lu Bo was the only one left in charge of Qingsi Hall.

"Ji Lan, take the people back to Qingsi Palace first, prepare a purse worth one thousand taels, and then help Lu Bo stabilize those people."

"Yes."

Ji Lan responded and trotted back to Qingsi Hall.

As soon as I arrived at Qingsi Hall, I saw a dozen Yulin guards standing outside, looking like they were trying to raid the palace.

I walked back quickly, panting a little, holding on to the palace maid's arm to calm my mind, and then stepped into the Qingsi Hall.

I saw a dozen young eunuchs standing on both sides of the entrance to the Qingsi Hall, all with low eyebrows, but two of them had bulging temples, exactly like the masters from the maternal family described in the book.

Immediately Man knew in his heart that the emperor really had resentment towards Gao Yangjun, and Cheng Youping was implicated, so he must take it out from her.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Lu Bo smilingly adding tea and water to Eunuch Lu, while Ji Lan stood aside with a cold face, refusing to give an inch.One pretended to be a white face, and the other acted as a bad face, and stopped Eunuch Lu.

Originally, Mr. Lu was just drinking tea with endless refills, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the eldest princess back.

"This old slave is here to see the eldest princess. The emperor sent a servant to run an errand. Look at this female official, she really doesn't have any sense. She was summoned by the emperor, so why..."

Don't you have any idea whether it's really a summons?Yiman smiled slightly, "Don't be surprised, Eunuch Lu, I went to visit the prince and brother, and I came back late."

Eunuch Lu quickly raised his hand and said, "The emperor is really in a hurry. I hope the eldest princess will forgive me."

Yiman nodded with a faint smile and glanced at Lu Bo. Lu Bo immediately understood and went outside to pick up the person.

"Princess, I wonder where General Cheng's sister, Miss Cheng, is? The Emperor has summoned her, so we'd better ask her to come out quickly."

The corners of Yiman's mouth raised, but there was no smile in his eyes, "My father-in-law should know whether it is a summons or not."

Hearing this, Eunuch Lu's face turned cold and he snorted, "What do you mean, Princess?"

Seeing that Lu Bo was raising his head, he changed the topic and said, "But I don't care, and I don't want to embarrass my father-in-law."

Eunuch Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He had long heard rumors that the eldest princess was in the palace. Although he had a strong hand, he would not dare to touch the eldest princess in the event of a conflict.

"Naturally, I don't dare to let the eldest princess do anything difficult. As long as the eldest princess calls the person out, the rest will be all on the slave."

Yiman smiled and nodded, "Lu Bo, bring Miss Cheng out."

Lu Bo responded outside and immediately walked in, supporting a frail woman.

Eunuch Lu unfolded the small pen in his hand and looked at it with confusion.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong?"

"There seems to be some resemblance, but he looks timid and has no charm at all."
