"You're talking nonsense!" The Third Princess clutched her chest, her eyes blazing with murderous intent as she looked at the Fourth Prince of Beiliang. "When did I ever invite you into the palace to meet me privately? I've never even met you, so how could there be a private relationship? You, you dare to humiliate me like this!"
Before the Third Princess could say anything else, the Fourth Prince of Beiliang produced a jade token. Frowning, he looked at the Third Princess and asked, "Excuse me, Princess, is this your token? Your maid gave it to me, telling me she came to the palace to meet you last night. The maid also said that the Third Princess had long admired me and wanted to share her feelings with me. When I arrived last night, the room was ablaze with fragrance, and the Third Princess had just bathed. As soon as I entered the bedroom, she pulled me into her tent. How could this be considered an insult?"
The Northern Liang Four Emperors had spoken out such things in the boudoir without any care. The Third Princess was extremely embarrassed. Even though she was very experienced, her pretty face flushed with shame. She stamped her feet and said, "You, you are talking nonsense! When did I ever fall in love with you? I clearly..."
"Nonsense!" Before the Third Princess could utter the fatal name, Concubine Bai slammed the table in front of her and sat up suddenly. As if she was really angry, she staggered back two steps and said in a trembling voice, "Shut up!"
If the name of Baicheng were really mentioned, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
Although the emperor is very fond of them now, he is far from condoning them to do such things as deceiving their superiors and hiding the truth from their subordinates.
The Fourth Prince of Beiliang looked even more indifferent, saying casually, "Now that things have happened, even if the Third Princess doesn't have feelings for me, then forget it."
The third princess' heart skipped a beat.
Today's events will be known to the whole city within the morning, and everyone will know that the Third Princess has had an affair with the Fourth Prince of Beiliang.
By then, how could any powerful person want to marry her? Even Baicheng would definitely not want her.
She was now genuinely frightened.
Concubine Bai felt dizzy and fainted backwards.
"My beloved!"
The Emperor, who had been silent the entire time, quickly supported Concubine Bai and said repeatedly, "What are you all still standing there for? Go get the imperial physician!"
The dust settled, Situ Yao was in a very good mood, and it seemed that the people around him were also much more relaxed.
Only Cui Mixue asked for a meeting several times, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was always "busy with official duties."
Su Mengyan looked at the jade pendant in her hand and felt a little worried. She didn't know what excuse she could use to return the thing in her hand.
She knew that the jade pendant in her hand was given to Situ Yao by the late queen, who said it would be given to the future queen.
The more Su Mengyan looked at the thing in her hand, the more she felt it was a death warrant.
"Su chooses the attendant."
Situ Yao was sitting under a tree. When he saw Su Mengyan hurried past, he called out.
Su Mengyan, who had originally wanted to pretend she hadn't seen anything, paused slightly, sighed helplessly in her heart, but asked expectantly, "Your Highness, is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Come here and have a cup of tea with me." Situ Yao had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood recently.
Although there was no news from the royal city, Su Mengyan guessed that the matter between the Third Princess and the Fourth Prince of Beiling should have been settled.
"yes."
During the time they spent together, Su Mengyan also discovered that when Situ Yao was in a good mood, he didn't care about these things. If he asked you to have dinner with him, he would eat; if he asked you to have tea with him, he would drink tea with him. If you refused, you might get scolded.
"Consort Su, are you no longer afraid of me?" Situ Yao also noticed Su Mengyan's change and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly: "Why, do you finally understand that I don't eat people?"
Su Mengyan remained calm. After spending some time together, her mental state had improved considerably. She said calmly, "Your Highness, please don't tease me. I still respect you greatly, but I simply don't want to do anything that would displease you."
Situ Yao raised his eyebrows slightly at these words. He said nothing else but softly, "Selectwoman Su, do you know what happened in the royal city?"
"The Third Princess and the Fourth Prince of Beiliang are already husband and wife, and are they engaged?" Su Mengyan asked tentatively, holding a teacup.
Unexpectedly, Situ Yao shook his head slightly: "This matter was arranged by me, so it will happen naturally. I want you to guess, something I didn't expect."
In her heart, Su Mengyan was about to curse. Why did you ask her to guess something that you hadn't even calculated? You spoke as if she would know.
She could scold him, but he was Situ Yao, and Su Mengyan was just a concubine. She could only bite the bullet and make random guesses: "The Third Princess was so angry that she fell ill and couldn't get up?"
