The rumor became more and more intense, to the point that the emperor had no choice but to face it and asked the regent to go to Wan'an Temple to invite Master Kongshi.

This matter was carried out in secret, and Lin Chunhuan was not surprised that the person who wrote the letter knew about it.

Although the snacks were sent by Aunt Zhuxi, Lin Chunhuan recognized the handwriting on the note; it was Yanming's handwriting.

They grew up together. In Hongxiu Tower, she and Yanming were the only two who loved reading the most, so she would never make a mistake in recognizing Yanming's handwriting.

Yanming must have suffered a lot for staying with the Regent, but now it seems that her move did work.

As for Kong Shi entering the palace...

Lin Chunhuan bit her lip. They had agreed that as long as they finished the things outside, her brother would never get involved in the court turmoil again.

But why did he agree to enter the palace again?

Regent's Palace.

It was broad daylight, but the door of the study was tightly closed. The noise coming from inside made the servants passing by frown. As if they were afraid of being discovered, they quickly lowered their heads to hide the expressions on their faces.

"If you had cooperated earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer so much. Tell me, you... such a delicate beauty, how could you be so stubborn?"

The Regent slowly adjusted his cuffs, looking towards the corner of the desk with a smile on his face.

In the corner, Yan Ming had a cold face and picked up the torn clothes one by one, trying to cover up every trace of humiliation on his body.

But every move she made was in vain.

Although she had thought about this day the moment she stepped into the Regent's Palace, she didn't expect that she would have this feeling even after experiencing it several times.

It still made her scalp tingle with nausea.

Yan Ming's silence gradually cooled the smile on the Regent's face. He strode forward and stepped on the coat that Yan Ming was about to pick up. "You are indeed a woman of some ability."

"But if you try to manipulate me with your brains, you are totally wrong. As long as I want you to, no matter your status in the palace, you can only be my bedmate. Do you understand?"

"Really?" Yan Ming withdrew her hand. Although she fell to the ground, her body in a mess, her back was still straight. She couldn't laugh, but her eyes were full of sarcasm. "If that's the case, then the prince has also been coveting Concubine Zhengui for a long time."

"Why doesn't the prince have the ability to ask the imperial concubine to accompany him in bed?"

Anyway, the relationship has been torn apart now, and most of what needs to be done has been done, so Yanming vented his emotions wantonly.

Such disregard seemed to be solely intended to irritate the man in front of her.

I only want to... die!

"It seems that the prince is not that capable. Apart from using his extra weight to bully women, the rest..."

After glancing him up and down, Yan Ming's disdain became even more obvious. "In fact, even those two taels of meat, the prince's, I don't really..."

Bang!

Before Yanming could finish her words, a slap without any strength landed on her cheek, throwing her half way out.

But compared to the insult just now, Yan Ming didn't feel any pain at this moment. He just rubbed his cheeks and spat out the broken teeth with blood, not caring about the bloodstains on his lips at all.

"Get out."

The Regent's tone was cold, but Yanming didn't care. He just wanted to take his clothes and leave, find a clean place, and wash off the filth on his body.

But the dress was still under the Regent's feet. After pulling it twice without success, Yanming raised his head and saw the malice and targeting in the man's eyes, so he let go immediately.

Slowly getting up from the ground, "Your Highness is really, extremely boring."

Seeing Yanming about to open the door in her tattered underwear, the Regent laughed in anger, "Indeed, a filthy woman like you is naturally not worthy of your attention."

Is it dirty?

Yanming opened the door nonchalantly, and as expected, heard screams from outside.

Her clothes were so tattered that you could see the lilac-colored bellyband underneath, as well as a large area of ​​snow-white skin on her back that was covered in bruises.

Those were the traces left behind by the Regent's repeated coercion, both new and old, and extremely hideous.

"I am dirty."

"But I'm also very curious. When a girl is still a virgin, she is clean, but when she has a man, she becomes dirty. Who is the dirty one?"

"you……"

The Regent was not given any chance to refute. Even if he was given the chance, he would not be able to figure it out for a while. Yan Ming just snorted coldly and walked out the door with a frank attitude.

She knew she had done nothing wrong and knew she had no need to feel ashamed.

It is the man who should be ashamed, not her!

As for those people outside, if they point fingers at her because of this, it means that they have read too much and are blind, and do not understand the true meaning of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.

None of this is her fault!

Yanming walked with her head held high. Her appearance was seen by several little girls in the yard, but even the most stubborn and strong-willed one who looked down on others just watched quietly.

Didn't say a word.

For a moment, they even admired the open-minded woman.

Yinyin, who had been stopped by the doorman for a long time, was finally let in. The moment she saw Yanming, before she could say anything, the girl's tears couldn't stop falling.

"Why...why is it so bitter!"

Yin Yin bit her lip, "Why is it so bitter?!"

"Don't cry, don't cry!"

Not caring about his own injuries, Yanming stepped forward and wiped away Yinyin's tears with hasty but gentle movements. "Good girl, don't cry. You came here for something important."

"We don't have much time, let's talk!"

It was not difficult to tell from the marks on Yanming's body what had happened not long ago. Yinyin shook her head. She really couldn't pretend not to see it, let alone know what had happened.

Should she reveal the news that compelled her to break into the palace at this time?

"Yinyin, I'm fine, really." Yanming forced himself to smile, just wanting to calm Yinyin's emotions as soon as possible.

She knew that no matter how much the Regent tortured her, he would not harm her life while she was still useful.

But Ah Huan is different.

Yinyin risked her life to look for her, something must have happened in the palace!

Taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down, Yanming rubbed Yinyin's arm vigorously, "Yinyin, tell me, Ah Huan, is there something wrong?"

Hearing this, Yin Yin was so shocked that her tears stopped, "How did you know?"

"The child is gone, right?" Yan Ming spoke with a pale face, and it was extremely difficult to say those few words.

The look on her face was even uglier than when she was insulted by the Regent. "Is the baby in Ah Huan's belly gone?"
