The guests drinking tea in the lobby and those in the private rooms on the second floor were all alarmed.
They all craned their necks to look inside.
Chunmei was worried that something might have happened to Su Yulan, and in her haste she forgot to conceal her form of address.
"Princess, are you alright?"
Someone immediately recognized him.
"Princess Su Yulan, how could this be..."
"My God, her chest is all exposed, and it's quite white."
"I heard before that she was having an affair with a student at the Imperial Academy, and was caught in the courtyard in the street, rolling around naked with that man."
"Wow, that's quite the style."
The crowd pointed and whispered, their mocking and gossipy voices rising and falling.
The water in the pool drenched Su Yulan, and when she came to her senses, she realized that almost her entire body had been seen naked.
Screaming, she covered her chest with one hand and her face with the other, and frantically made Chunmei rip an outer garment off her body. As soon as she wrapped it up, she ran out as if fleeing.
He hadn't run two steps when his pants, too wet to stay on, fell down, causing him to trip and fall flat on his face.
Two pale, bare thighs were fully exposed.
Chunmei hurriedly helped her up, and the two of them staggered and ran down the street.
This attracted the wide-eyed stares of passersby.
Even worse, some lecherous men drool and spew vulgar and obscene words.
Su Yulan was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Qinghui slipped into the private room.
"Your Highness, are you alright? This formation..."
She found Jiang Qingwan by following the people Su Yulan sent out.
He wanted to rush in to save the person, but was stopped by Jiang Qingwan's eyes. He also felt a sense of satisfaction at seeing his princess punish the wicked woman.
Jiang Qingwan handed over a bunch of grapes.
"This is quite sweet, you should try it."
Qinghui, however, knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Please punish me for my dereliction of duty, Your Highness."
Jiang Qingwan stuffed a grape into her mouth and waved her hand dismissively, clearly bored.
"Could you please stop kneeling all the time? It's going to shorten my lifespan."
Upon hearing this, Qing Sui quickly stood up again and changed to bowing.
Jiang Qingwan was speechless.
"Have those three people been caught?"
Qing Sui hurriedly said, "I caught him. I put him to sleep and tied him up outside."
"Let's go take a look."
Jiang Qingwan stepped outside, and the two quickly returned to the place where Qinghui had tied up the person.
But they found that the three of them were still in the same position as before, but they had already woken up.
They all had crooked mouths and were drooling, looking like fools.
The green ears of grain covered it.
He looked at Jiang Qingwan with an innocent expression and explained.
"I really just used a pressure point to put you to sleep."
After examining the area, Jiang Qingwan determined that there were no esoteric Taoist practices involved.
Moreover, their souls were not damaged.
The only explanation is that there is a problem with his health.
Qinghui has already started inspecting it.
After a while, they took out an extremely long silver needle from the top of each of the three people's heads.
"Your Highness, this method is too ruthless. It directly punctured the Tianling acupoint. Even a divine physician could not cure it."
That's true.
The eldest brother once said that some damage is irreversible, and this is one of them.
Who could it be?
Qing Sui immediately said, "Luo Ruyan. These three people said that Luo Ruyan conspired with others to harm you. Since Su Yulan's goal is to have you heal your face, there is no time to deal with these three people. I left to find you. The only one who might come back to clean up the mess is Luo Ruyan."
Jiang Qingwan looked at the silver needle that gleamed with a cold light.
"I had a feeling of dislike when I first met her, but she didn't have any karmic consequences, so I didn't pay much attention. I didn't expect her to be such a ruthless person."
...
In the Ninth Prince's Mansion,
Luo Ruyan was holding Zheng Qing and crying so hard she almost passed out.
Her collar was torn open, revealing her fair skin, and her shoulders were deliberately exposed as she nestled into Zheng Qing's arms.
Zheng Qing was caught in a dilemma: to push or not to push.
Anxious, she asked repeatedly, "Don't cry, what happened?"
Luo Ruyan cried even harder, wrapping her arms around Zheng Qing's neck.
Startled, Zheng Qing leaned back desperately, trying to avoid it, and quickly went to ask Cuiya.
"Tell me, what exactly happened to your daughter?"
Cuiya was also wiping away tears.
"Master, please don't ask anymore. Can't you see? The young lady has suffered a great injustice and was almost bullied. You must comfort her properly."
Zheng Qing's face darkened.
Although he had no romantic feelings for Luo Ruyan.
However, Luo Ruyan had done him a favor after all.
He hurriedly pulled the person away.
"Tell me, who bullied you? I'll go and bring them here right now."
Luo Ruyan's frail figure swayed weakly for a moment, her face as white as paper, as if she were about to faint.
She bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful.
He looked like he couldn't go on living.
But he didn't say a word.
Anxious, Zheng Qing shook his head.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
Jiang Qingwan walked in gracefully with Qing Sui.
Luo Ruyan, who was still shedding tears, was so startled that she hiccuped. She looked at Jiang Qingwan's body in surprise and saw no injury. Her heart skipped a beat.
But she reacted quickly and threw herself into Zheng Qing's arms again.
"That's wonderful! It's so good that the Princess is alright. My lord, if it weren't for the Princess's righteous rescue, I would have been defiled by the villains and wouldn't have been able to live anymore. But the Princess was kidnapped by the villains with a sack covering her face. I chased after them for a long time but couldn't catch up. I was so anxious that I vomited blood. I finally made it back to the manor... I never expected that the Princess would be safe and sound. It's truly a blessing from heaven."
Qing Sui couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This woman is such a good actress.
Jiang Qingwan sized up Luo Ruyan.
