"Little Shengzi?"
Consort Li turned her head in disbelief: "What did you say?"
The old woman didn't speak, but the guard who arrested the man said, "This man is a eunuch from Your Highness's courtyard. He ran away suspiciously just now and dropped something. He looks very suspicious."
Consort Li pursed her lips and remained silent, but Consort Liang couldn't wait to ask, "What did he drop?"
The guard paused for a moment, then tossed the contents of the bundle in front of the young eunuch: "It's a woman's undergarment, and some other things to enhance the experience..."
With a muffled thud, a bundle was thrown to the ground, revealing a revealing red mandarin duck bodice and some bottles and jars.
All the ladies present gasped, staring blankly at the bodice.
The young eunuch simply shook his head, his expression pained as he protested, "This doesn't belong to a woman! It doesn't belong to a servant!"
"I am innocent! There was no adultery! There was no adultery!"
The eunuch confessed without being asked.
Consort Li's face darkened instantly, and Consort Zhen narrowed her eyes at the same moment: "He's just a eunuch, how could he have these things?"
Consort Liang raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's hard to say whether he's a real eunuch or a fake one. Judging from the luxurious material of that undergarment, it doesn't seem like something a lowly palace maid would use..."
Her words carried a deeper meaning, as if to say that only someone of such high status as Consort Li could afford such an expensive undergarment.
Consort Liang said, turning her body to look in Consort Li's direction: "Sister, this is someone from your palace. How could they do such a thing during the Fengshan Ceremony? You should investigate this quickly."
"If you break a taboo, the gods and Buddhas will be furious, and no matter how many Buddhist scriptures you copy, it will be useless."
Consort Li took a deep breath, her voice filled with thunderous fury, and said to the guards, "Go and examine him, see if he is a real eunuch or a fake one!"
"Investigate further to find out where he got the undergarment in his arms. Did it come from my courtyard or from someone else's?"
As Consort Li spoke, she turned her gaze back to Consort Liang's face, her eyes dark and inky.
At that moment, Song Ruoan, who was standing in the corner, suddenly let out a small gasp. She took a step back and hid herself in the crowd.
