Chapter 64 Infidelity is one thing, but you can't choose the wrong person.
After Yu Zhiyi's body was tempered by merit points, all her senses became extremely sharp, and her eyesight was unexpectedly good.
She immediately noticed the unusual expression on Xiaoyao Wang Hong's face and saw that his eyes had become unfocused in a short time, and clicked her tongue in disapproval.
This person is really going all out.
The Great Sheng Empire has many low-grade drugs, but most of them require a certain amount of time to take effect.
It will take at least fifteen minutes.
From the time the carefree prince drank the medicine until its effects began to take hold, only a few breaths had passed.
Medicines that work so quickly are top-quality; you can't buy one for less than a hundred or eighty taels of silver.
What a wicked intention, and what a profound love!
The malice was directed at Yu Zhiyi, while the love was directed at You Bingyue.
Just as Yu Zhiyi was internally complaining, the Carefree King couldn't control himself and started to make his move.
He ripped open the buttons on his collar, leaving his clothes half-open and revealing his muscular chest.
Yu Zhiyi quickly looked away, but out of the corner of her eye she still caught a glimpse of the distinct texture on his chest.
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned, except for Yu Zhiyi, who was not surprised at all.
After Du Ziheng realized what was happening, he instinctively pulled Yu Zhiyi's body to the side, preventing her from seeing the offensive scene.
Yu Zhiyi didn't have any objections. All she wanted to see was the Prince of Xiaoyao make a fool of himself. As for the specific process, she didn't really want to watch it.
Especially when it involves scenes that are not suitable for children, even if Du Ziheng does not stop her, she will avoid them herself, because she is worried about getting a sty.
The perfectly good palace banquet instantly descended into chaos.
The emperor was both shocked and furious, and immediately ordered his men to stop the Prince of Leisure's mad behavior. However, the Prince of Leisure was a martial artist. Despite his gentle and mild appearance, he was surprisingly strong and ruthless.
The emperor's gaze darkened.
The palace servants, concerned for the safety of the carefree prince and not daring to use force against him, could only try to stop him while watching him go mad.
As the carefree prince took off his clothes, he walked towards You Bingyue, his flushed face showing a mixture of passion and deep affection: "Yue'er, you know my feelings for you, so why won't you accept me?"
"Although I am willing to step down to the position of a friend, I am also a human being, and I also have a heart that loves. Do you know how painful it is for me to watch you chase after someone else every day?"
The moon?!
Only then did everyone realize that among the palace servants, there was a completely unfamiliar face.
Of course, not everyone is an expert and it's impossible for them to know everyone in the palace.
However, this woman's appearance was too outstanding.
Her stunningly beautiful face possessed a noble and aloof quality unlike that of ordinary women, mixed with a domineering aura.
This made her stand out among the palace maids.
With her intentionally concealed, no one could discover her for a while.
But after being led astray by the Prince of Xiaoyao, everyone felt that the woman looked awkward no matter how they looked at her.
Many of the young people in the room, including many regulars at Nanfeng Bookstore, naturally recognized this extremely beautiful face.
"Isn't that You Bingyue?" someone exclaimed.
Someone who didn't know who You Bingyue was but was very curious asked, "Who is You Bingyue?"
The person who had just exclaimed in surprise was generous with his knowledge: "You Bingyue is Young Master Du's lover, and also the very famous female saint recently."
"Young Master Du is very fond of her. He actually entrusted her with his most important business, Nanfeng Bookstore, and she has lived up to his expectations, making Nanfeng Bookstore great and successful. Now Nanfeng Bookstore is the most popular bookstore in the entire Shengjing. There are long queues outside the bookstore every day, from early morning to dark. It's incredibly popular."
"Oh? Is that so? But isn't it said that Young Master Du and the Minister's daughter were childhood sweethearts, and that after seeing the Minister's daughter marry into the Duke's mansion, Young Master Du was heartbroken and married his current wife as a substitute?"
Yu Zhiyi: "???"
What an absurd development! How come she's never heard of such rumors?
She couldn't help but look at Du Ziheng.
Du Ziheng was initially shocked by You Bingyue's appearance at the birthday banquet and her farcical horse-riding antics with the Prince of Xiaoyao, but the discussions in the room were so loud that he couldn't pretend not to hear them.
Noticing Yu Zhiyi's gaze, he suddenly felt a little guilty and explained, "Don't misunderstand, it's not like that at all. There's nothing between Yu Jiaojiao and me. It's just that we were of similar status when we were young, so we would only get together to play at banquets, and everyone misunderstood our relationship."
“After I turned seven, I never met her alone in private again.”
He was indeed unfaithful in his marriage, but while he was unfaithful, he couldn't have chosen the wrong person.
He added, "I don't know how such remarks started to spread, but I immediately clarified them after hearing them. I just didn't expect that people would bring them up again today."
Yu Zhiyi nodded to indicate that she understood.
It seems that Du Ziheng stopped the rumors to appease You Bingyue.
But with all three of these dramatic figures present today, those suppressed topics are naturally stirring up again.
She didn't really care.
Du Ziheng looked anxiously in the direction where You Bingyue was.
He tried to hold back, but couldn't. He flicked his wide sleeves and strode over, shielding You Bingyue behind him. He glared at the Prince of Xiaoyao and said, "Your Highness, please have some self-respect."
All of this sounds like a long story, but it actually only takes a few breaths.
Seeing Du Ziheng's actions, the gossip spirits of the onlookers were ignited, their eyes darting between Yu Zhiyi and You Bingyue, then watching Du Ziheng and the Carefree King with great interest, almost shouting: "Let's fight! Let's fight!"
Yu Zhiyi didn't mind being the center of attention, but she didn't say anything about it.
From her perspective, this whole affair is irrelevant to her; at least she doesn't feel offended.
However, there are quite a few scandals involving people in the scene that will shatter people's worldviews and reshape their values.
Prime Minister Du and his wife both frowned and said, "You unfilial son, Youlin, come back!"
The emperor's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He decided to end this farce as soon as possible.
"Guards, drag Prince Xiaoyao away from me. If he resists, use force. I will take responsibility for any consequences."
The reason why those palace servants and guards let Prince Xiaoyao cause trouble for so long was because they were mindful of his status.
If they accidentally injure the Prince of Xiaoyao, even if the farce ends and they have saved face for the royal family, the emperor will still hold them accountable.
Now that the emperor had spoken, they had no more worries and immediately unleashed their true strength.
Before long, the carefree prince was brought under control.
Several people worked together to restrain the carefree queen, and then a palace guard swung his cleaver, knocking her unconscious and taking her away.
The noisy scene finally quieted down, and the emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Suddenly, a sweet, delicate voice rang out: "The Prince of Xiaoyao is clearly not in a good state. Could it be that someone has done something to him?"
Upon hearing this, the once lively hall, which had been buzzing with excitement due to the earlier farce, suddenly turned icy cold.
A murderous glint flashed in the emperor's eyes.
