The Fourth Prince said, "Eighth Princess Consort, is there anything else you want to know? I can tell you everything. In my and the late Emperor's eyes, how foolish you and the Eighth Prince have been all these years."

The Eighth Prince's wife stared at the Fourth Prince in astonishment. She couldn't believe that the one who had plotted against the Eighth Prince was none other than the late Emperor. Suddenly, she felt that everything the Eighth Prince had done over the years was a complete joke. She looked around at the princes and princesses of the imperial clan who were eyeing her with predatory intent, each one seeming to want to devour her. The Eighth Prince's wife suddenly burst into insane laughter.

"Impossible! Impossible! You made all this up, it's impossible! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" she screamed.

The Fourth Prince disdained to argue with her: "Believe it or not."

The Eighth Prince's wife pointed at the Fourth Prince, completely disregarding her status, and said, "It's you! It's all because of you that things have turned out this way. You will get your retribution! You will definitely get your retribution!"

The Fourth Prince said, "I am the Emperor, and no one can take revenge on me."

The Eighth Prince's wife suddenly turned to Lanqin and rushed towards her. Lanqin and the others did not expect her to pounce on them. Before they could react, Lanqin was grabbed by her.

The Eighth Princess removed the hairpin from her hair and held it against Lanqin's neck, saying, "You made me lose everything, so I will make you lose what you love." With that, she was about to stab her.

All of this happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned by the Eighth Prince's wife's actions.

"Stop!" Fourth Master stood up abruptly, and only now did a trace of worry appear in his eyes as he shouted in anguish.

Lanqin closed her eyes, preparing to face the pain to come.

Unexpectedly, the pain did not come. Just at the critical moment, Lanqin's personal maid Baoqin rushed forward and grabbed the Eighth Prince's hairpin tightly with her hand.

"Let go, let go, you slut, let go of me!" the Eighth Prince's wife roared.

But the maid still didn't let go, despite her hands being covered in blood.

The Fourth Prince roared, "What are you doing! What are you looking at? Seize him right now!"

The guards of the Seventeenth Prince's mansion rushed forward and seized the Eighth Prince's wife, who struggled.

Fourth Master could no longer contain himself and said to Su Peisheng: "Have someone escort Guo Luoluo Minghui back to Eighth Master's Mansion, seal the mansion, and forbid anyone from freely entering or leaving."

As the Eighth Prince's wife was dragged away by the guards, she continued to shout, "Impossible! Impossible!"

Those who had initially wanted to see the Eighth Prince's wife make a fool of herself now began to sympathize with her, because her and her husband's lives had been nothing but a foolish joke. However, there is always a reason why someone is pitiful, and her current predicament was entirely of her own choosing, so she had no one else to blame but herself.

Fourth Master walked over to Lanqin and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Lanqin nodded. Although she was a little scared, she wasn't as easily frightened as the ladies of noble families.

Lanqin looked at Baoqin and saw that her hands were covered with wounds, and blood was flowing from between her fingers. However, she was still tightly holding the hairpin in her hand. Lanqin said anxiously, "Hurry up and go and fetch a doctor."

After the doctor arrived and treated Baoqin's injuries, Lanqin, who was standing to the side, asked with concern, "Doctor, is her hand alright?"

The doctor said, "Your Majesty, fortunately, the person who stabbed her was not strong, the wound was not deep, and it did not damage her bones or tendons. She will recover after two or three months of treatment and rest."

Lanqin nodded. "That's good. Now, apply the medicine. Remember, use the best medicine."

The doctor replied, "As you command."

After applying the medicine, the doctor gave Lanqin a prescription and told her to get the medicine according to the prescription.

After the Eighth Prince's wife's outburst, the Seventeenth Prince's wedding banquet was shrouded in gloom.
