Hundreds of people came towards the Zhonghe Hall in a huge crowd. The scene was extremely spectacular.
Several young eunuchs carrying trays of food and wine were so frightened that they were petrified on the spot. Even the sparrows foraging on the grass were frightened and flew away with a chirp.
Xia Miaoyuan lay in the nanny's arms, thinking hard all the way.
[Oh my, did Erguoguo really have an accident in Zhonghe Hall? ]
"That doesn't seem like it. I saw him pretending to be drunk at the banquet earlier, but his mind was still clear. How could he do such a thing?"
[Could it be because, in the book, Lanxiang's plot to frame Erguoguo in his bedroom was ruined, and Concubine Jiang is now framing Erguoguo in Zhonghe Hall?]
[Oh my, my mind is so confused! I hope it’s not Erguoguo, God bless you!]
Xia Miaoyuan was muttering to himself, and in the blink of an eye, the Empress Dowager and her entourage had arrived at the Zhonghe Hall.
Xia Zhengqi waved his hand and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to stay outside the courtyard for the time being. He then quietly walked into the courtyard with the Empress Dowager and the Queen.
[My dear Queen, please don't leave me, I want to see it too!]
Xia Miaoyuan was afraid that the nanny who was holding him would also be left outside the yard, so he kicked his little feet desperately and babbled.
The queen looked down at Xia Miaoyuan gently and hugged her.
[Mother understands me, mother is awesome! ]
Xia Miaoyuan cheered a little.
The Zhonghe Hall was not big to begin with, and the small courtyard in front of the hall was only seven or eight meters long. Xia Zhengqi and his companions reached the door in just a few steps.
Debao, Yingxue and other palace maids who served closely crowded at the gate of the courtyard, all looking up inside.
Two guards, holding up their scabbarded swords, stood guard on either side of the courtyard gate.
It’s a pity that the gate of the courtyard is only two steps wide, and no matter how crowded it is, there is not enough space for many people to stand.
The people who were blocked at the back stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks, and looked inside hard.
People who were further behind could not see even if they stood on tiptoe, so they simply moved stones to block the view.
There were even a few brave ones who secretly climbed up the courtyard wall and peeked inside from the top.
Xia Zhengqi and his companions walked to the door of the house, holding their breath and concentrating without making a sound.
After listening for a while, I heard a woman sobbing for help and the creaking sound of a shaking wooden bed.
Xia Zhengqi, the Empress Dowager and others changed their expressions instantly.
[Wow! It's so exciting in there! Could it be Er Guoguo? He's still young, so it's not that bad, right?]
【Please don’t make it Erguoguo. 】
The queen hurriedly covered Xia Miaoyuan's ears, but she couldn't cover her ears with one hand while holding her with the other, so she had to hold her tightly in her arms and wrap her little head with her arms.
[My dear Queen, what are you doing? I can't see anything!]
Xia Zhengqi felt his anger rising and kicked the door open with a bang.
"Who is so tactless as to break into my door?" A fierce male voice came from the inner room.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jiang's faces darkened. They exchanged glances, and their expressions suddenly changed from smugness to panic.
Xia Zhengqi kicked the screen down again, and a wooden bed with its curtains spread out appeared in front of everyone.
He rushed to the bed in two or three steps, pulled back the curtains, and shouted, "Who is so bold?"
Through the drawn bed curtains, everyone saw a man and a woman playing Jenga on the bed.
Looking at the edge of the bed, clothes of various colors were piled up in a mess.
Xia Zhengqi saw the beautiful scene in front of him, and even though he was filled with anger, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
He quickly turned his back and shouted, "Put on your clothes and get off!"
The man on the bed took a closer look and found that it was the emperor, the empress dowager and others. He was so scared that his soul flew away. He grabbed a piece of clothing and wrapped it around himself. He jumped off the bed in a panic and knelt down to kowtow.
"Brother-in-law, please spare me, brother-in-law, please spare me, I was drunk for a while. It was that bitch who seduced me!"
When the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jiang saw the man's face clearly, they both froze.
The person kneeling on the ground is not the second prince at all. He is clearly the youngest son of Grand Tutor Jiang, the younger brother of Concubine Jiang, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, and the young master Jiang Zhichang.
"Ah...ah...why is it you..." The Queen Mother covered her chest with her hands, feeling so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak.
Concubine Jiang quickly supported her.
Xia Miaoyuan twisted her little body and finally pushed aside the queen's sleeves, and saw the wonderful scene in front of her.
[Yo, yo, yo, I was just wondering, how could my rough guy Er Guoguo do such a thing? It's not surprising that Jiang Zhichang did this.]
At this time, Lan Xiang on the bed was already trembling, wrapped in a piece of clothing, and knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve. "It was not me who seduced him, it was him who forced himself on me. I...I was only changing his clothes for him!"
"You slut, stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Zhichang's face was ferocious, and he slapped Lanxiang to the ground.
"How dare you! I'm here, how can I allow you to use violence!" Xia Zhengqi kicked Jiang Zhichang to the ground.
[The Emperor is so majestic, so handsome! Yeah yeah yeah!]
Xia Miaoyuan waved her fists excitedly, but the queen held her too tightly and she couldn't stretch out her little arms.
"Your Majesty, my third brother is not usually such a bold and reckless person. I guess he was drunk and this palace maid wanted to climb up the social ladder and seduced him, so he lost control. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!" Concubine Jiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
"Hmph, treacherous concubine, you still have the nerve to plead for mercy. Jiang Zhichang's current lecherous state is also your fault. You've spoiled him and never disciplined him. He's abducted women from the palace and toyed with the maids in your palace, and not only did you not intervene, you even covered for him."
Xia Miaoyuan watched the show through the seam of his clothes and complained at the same time.
