Yang Wanyu didn’t know how to respond to her words.
At the same time, she was highly annoyed. She had been so worried that she had overlooked the fact that the First Prince had left the palace to run an errand. She had damaged her reputation in the eyes of the consort, and this would be something to mock her for in the future.
But remembering their purpose, she could only ask, “When will His Highness return?”
“It’s hard to say. We usually only have dinner together at night. The rest of the time depends on His Highness’ mood.
“Of course, with such a major thing happening to the Yang family, he should be back soon if His Highness doesn’t have anything important.”
“It’s the same as not saying anything.” Yang Wanning muttered to herself.
She jolted after realizing the same thing. If the First Prince had the intention to help, he would have gone to their place long ago.
It was apparent that the First Prince did not want to see them.
Thinking of this, her heart sank. “Since Consort Hui already knows why we’re here, I’ll have to trouble you to pass on a message to His Highness. We’ll have to take our leave for now.”
“I can pass on the message, but I cannot guarantee anything else.”
“Understood.” After Yang Wanyu finished speaking, she dragged the reluctant Yang Chengsen out.
After leaving the residence of Prince Hui, Yang Chengsen glared at her and questioned, “What are you doing? I don’t believe they can’t even afford to feed us lunch. We’ve been waiting for him so long; we might as well wait all the way.”
Yang Wanyu shook her head and brought him to their carriage. After they got on, she told him her guess, “I’m going to the palace to look for the Eighth Princess and see if she can put in a good word in front of the Empress. You better stay in the carriage and don’t run around, understand?”
“If even King Hui doesn’t want to interfere, will the Eighth Princess do so?”
“Let’s just give it a try.” Yang Wanyu smiled bitterly.
After saying that, she requested her coachman to drive them to the palace.
When they arrived at the palace gates, Yang Wanyu exited the carriage and went straight to the guards. After reporting her name, she handed over the token the Eighth Princess gave her.
However, she was immediately chased to the side. “Go back. The Eighth Princess left early in the morning and isn’t in the palace.”
“Where did she go?”
“The princess’ whereabouts are not something we can inquire about.”
“I should be able to meet the Empress, no?”
“The Empress is in charge of the six palaces and is very busy. Not everyone can see her just because they want to. You must have an invitation letter or someone to pick you up.”
Yang Wanyu pondered to herself. “It wasn’t so difficult to enter the palace back then. Could they deliberately ask these guards to block her from entering, trying to ignore her entirely?”
When she thought of this, a wave of hatred rose in her heart. So, they were discarded after their uses were done.
Nevertheless, she still tried to persuade the guards. “I’ll have to trouble you to help me inform her. No matter what, I’m still Prince Hui’s concubine who is about to marry into the family.”
The guard’s eyes flashed with mockery. He couldn’t believe she still had the cheek to mention her marriage at such a time.
He waved his hand and replied, “You can go and find King Hui then. You can’t meet the Empress unless you’re summoned.”
“Yes, yes. King Hui is fine too. Isn’t he in the palace too? I’ll go look for him.”
The guard paused momentarily when he heard this, but he quickly understood that even King Hui did not want to see her.
He pointed to the opposite side and said, “Go wait outside. I definitely can’t let you in at this time.”
After the guard finished speaking, he ignored her entirely.
Yang Wanyu was so angry that she almost wanted to go forward and tear him apart. However, she knew it was useless; she returned to the carriage and waited.
Yang Chengsen saw her dejected look and immediately gritted his teeth. “All of them, bastards..”
