Chapter 60 Catching an adulterer

At this time, the emperor was walking towards the harem in anger. Behind him, besides the queen and four concubines, there were some princes, the Duke of England and others.

Xu Qingyan followed Pei Jingchuan and the others. She looked at the environment in front of her and couldn't help but worry in her heart. [So many people rushed into the harem. This is the famous scene described in the book - catching an adulterer! This third prince is really good at making trouble! Pei Jinyu had already overturned the poison and broke his first plan. I didn't expect that he could set up a second trap in such a short time. I just don't know if the eighth prince fell into the trap. And why is Jinyu gone? She just told me that she was going to the toilet. She was gone for too long! ]

At this time, the Duke and his wife were standing in front of Xu Qingyan, and the surroundings were not very noisy, so they could hear Xu Qingyan's thoughts clearly. Unexpectedly, just now, Jin Yu fell on the Eighth Prince's table when she was performing a dance, which was specially designed to defeat him with poison! And the Third Prince actually poisoned the Eighth Prince.

When they were in the hall, it was a bit noisy around them, and Pei Jingchuan and Pei Jinyu were between them and Xu Qingyan, so they didn't hear her complaints at that time.

Now, they knew that their daughter was dancing for the Eighth Prince, and they were even more worried.

After a while, the emperor and others arrived. This was the door of the room that the eighth prince had entered earlier.

At this time, the door of the room was empty, with no one at all. Instead, there was a lot of noise coming from inside the room, mixed with some unbearable sounds.

The emperor couldn't help but frown tightly, his face was red and puffy, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

After hearing this voice, everyone was so frightened that they were silent, and only Concubine Chun, Concubine An and others showed a look of gloating on their faces.

"This...the person inside couldn't be the Eighth Prince, right? Could he have disappeared for so long, and he's actually here..." The first person to break the silence was Concubine Chun.

Concubine Chun's question made the emperor's face even gloomier. The queen, on the other hand, looked unhappy, but she still scolded Concubine Chun in a cold voice: "Concubine Chun, you haven't even seen who is in there, how can you blurt out that it must be the eighth prince? What if it is someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Chun couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Sister Queen, the eunuch said that the Eighth Prince just entered this room. Who else could it be if not him?"

"Once she's in, can she never come out again? What if it's a palace maid who doesn't follow the rules? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and the palace is crowded with people. It's inevitable that other people will sneak in." The Queen still spoke to Concubine Chun with a cold face.

The reason why the Queen spoke for the Eighth Prince was because she couldn't stand Concubine Chun's casual way of convicting people, and she also felt that the Eighth Prince was pitiful enough. Back then, the Eighth Prince fell into the water by accident, and Concubine Yun died to save him, which was also a willing mother's instinct. The Emperor blamed all the faults on the Eighth Prince, a child who knew nothing, which was already very paranoid.

Moreover, this child has never been loved by his parents since he was young. When he was a little older, he was demoted to a fiefdom with extremely poor conditions. Now this time he came back and something like this happened, which obviously means he was being targeted. As for why they were being targeted, the queen actually knew in her heart that the prince she gave birth to was too mediocre and incompetent, and he also loved a life of luxury and debauchery, so he would definitely not be able to inherit the throne in the future, so these concubines saw hope. As for the eighth prince, Concubine Chun was afraid that if the emperor woke up one day and suddenly remembered the words of the eighth prince's mother, he would pay attention to the eighth prince. Therefore, these concubines would target him everywhere.

"Shut up!" The emperor roared after hearing what the queen and Concubine Chun said, then stared at the closed door with a gloomy look.

"Someone, come here, kick the door open for me and arrest everyone inside!" The emperor said sternly to the guards beside him.

There was a bang and a guard stepped forward and kicked the door open. The shocking scene in the room instantly appeared in front of everyone. They couldn't help but cover their eyes and scream.

Xu Qingyan was curious about the excitement inside, so she stretched her head to look inside, but suddenly everything went dark in front of her eyes. [Huh? Why can't I see? Who is in there? How exciting is it in here! ]

It turned out that Pei Jingchuan quickly covered Xu Qingyan's eyes with his hands the moment the door was kicked open. Such a filthy picture must not defile Qingyan's eyes!

"You...who are you?" After a long while, the emperor's surprised and angry voice came to Xu Qingyan's ears.

Xu Qingyan couldn't break free from Pei Jingchuan's hand, so she could only resign herself to using her ears to listen.

"Someone, come and splash them with water to wake them up!" The emperor shouted as he watched this scene.

"Your Majesty, please have someone help them put on clothes first. There are so many people watching here. It's really embarrassing!" At this time, only the Queen could withstand the Emperor's anger and calmly reminded him.

Soon, a eunuch brought a bucket of water and poured it in front of the captured men, and threw them a piece of clothing to cover their bodies. After seeing his own situation, the captured man put on his clothes in horror, and then tried to get up and run away, but he was kicked down as soon as he stood up.

At this time, Xu Qingyan's eyes were freed. She looked towards the people on the ground, only to see two strange men and three strange women.

At the same time, the Third Prince, who was standing not far from them, had already turned pale with fright, and even his body was shaking slightly with nervousness.

The third prince thought in disbelief: How could it turn out like this? What went wrong?

"Tell me, who are you? What is going on here?" Even though he found out that the person in the room was not the Eighth Prince, the emperor still asked angrily.

After all, this is his harem. How could there be such bold men and women who dare to gather and commit adultery in his harem!

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I was murdered. A thief broke into the harem, knocked me unconscious and threw me in!" one of the men spoke. Only the thin voice made everyone realize that he was a eunuch!

The other man next to him knelt on the ground without saying a word, and the other three women were also trembling, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

There was even a woman who cried and said, "I am innocent! The Eighth Prince forced me to do this. I just came to give him clothes, but he pulled me..."

She was still in a daze, and didn't even know that the person who had just slept with them was not the Eighth Prince. She thought that everything was going according to the orders from above, so she continued to speak according to the prearranged words, but she didn't expect that her words would put the people behind her in danger at this time.

At this time, the queen could not help but ask loudly: "How do you know he is the eighth prince? Who taught you to say that?"

The maid couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, and said, "I was ordered to bring clothes to the Eighth Prince. This is the Eighth Prince..."

"How dare you! Open your eyes and take a good look at who the man next to you is!" The queen roared when she heard this.

At this time, Concubine Chun slowly came back to her senses from her shock. Looking at the situation in front of her, although she was afraid, she had not given up throwing the dirty water on the Eighth Prince.

Concubine Chun looked at the palace maid and said, "You said you were ordered to deliver clothes to the Eighth Prince. Are you sure it was the Eighth Prince you saw before? The one who forced himself on you in this room was the Eighth Prince, right?"
