Someone pushed open the gate and saw the yard full of men standing inside. The women who came to watch the fun were all shocked.
Princess Jingyi stood at the front. When she saw Chen Yubai and "Chen Tingsi", the expression on her face was quite complicated and wonderful.
Could it be that the good show mentioned in the note was not referring to a man and a woman, but rather some hidden secret between her elusive uncle and her eccentric brother?
Otherwise, how can we explain why these two princes, who are always at loggerheads in front of others, are in the same room late at night?
As for those guards, Jingyi thought they were there to keep watch for them.
How could they not be doing something bad by mobilizing such a large force?
Jiang Xiancao was not very familiar with Princess Jingyi. He had only seen her from a distance at a palace banquet before.
She didn't understand how unique this girl's thinking was.
So when she saw Princess Jingyi suddenly bow and apologize to them, she was completely stunned.
"Uncle, brother, Jingyi didn't mean to disturb your good fortune."
Princess Jingyi was not actually that afraid of Chen Tingsi. Her ninth brother was mean to outsiders but doted on his own sisters.
What she was afraid of was Shen Yubai, the smiling tiger.
Last time, Wen Yi's wet nurse secretly lent money at high interest rates in Beijing to make money. She specifically tricked ordinary people who could not understand the terms of the contract into signing. Even if they only borrowed one or two taels of silver, she would charge a huge profit of thirty taels after the due date.
Those poor people who were deceived could not pay, so Wen Yi's wet nurse hired thugs to torture their entire families and sell their wives and daughters, causing many families to be broken up.
After being discovered by the Imperial City Bureau, Wen Yi went to their house to ask them to release the person. As a result, Chen Yubai punished her wet nurse with a stick in front of Wen Yi according to the laws of Dasheng.
I heard that the scene was extremely tragic. Wen Yi was so scared that she cried and begged for mercy, but Shen Yubai still did not stop.
In the end, the wet nurse was seriously injured and died on the way back to the palace.
Wen Yi ran into Kunning Palace crying and complained to the queen.
But the queen only ordered her not to mention the matter again, and to be friendly the next time she saw Shen Yubai.
After this incident spread, these spoiled princesses and princesses all knew what kind of person the white-haired uncle who usually smiled at them gently and seemed like he would never get angry actually was.
"Jingyi, take these ignorant sisters away now!"
Jingyi finished speaking obediently and was about to take those noble ladies who dared not speak a word and leave together, but was stopped by Chen Yubai:
"You've come at the right time. The Emperor's uncle has something to say to you."
Jingyi trembled and her legs went limp with fear.
She cast a pleading look at Jiang Xiancao, "Nineth Brother, please talk to the Emperor's uncle. We are very tight-lipped and will never say anything nonsense!"
The noble lady behind her also trembled, "Yes, yes, we didn't see anything!"
Jiang Xiancao: "..."
She glanced at Shen Yubai, who had a smile on his face, and said, "Uncle, what happened tonight actually has nothing to do with them."
Jingyi nodded desperately, but when she heard Jiang Xiancao's next words, the smile on her face froze:
"But since they happened to see it, let them be witnesses."
What testimony?
Could it be that these two decided to reveal their illicit love to the world at the Empress Dowager's blessing banquet?
Jingyi's face was filled with horror, as if her soul was about to fly out of her body.
She could imagine the chaos that would follow and the fury of her grandmother and father.
But then I heard Jiang Xiancao say:
"Second Miss Jiang, please come out."
Second Miss Jiang? ?
Jingyi was confused again. The emperor's uncle and brother were having a secret meeting, so why was the second lady of the Wen Ning Marquis's Mansion also present?
Then, she saw the weak "Jiang Xiancao" walking out of the room supported by two secret guards.
Just now, Jiang Xiancao and Tinglan arrived in time. Shen Tingsi was not molested and his clothes were not messed up. It was just that the effect of the drug had not yet worn off, and he was still a little weak.
And his appearance made the ladies have many associations.
Princess Jingyi spoke frankly and said immediately:
"Why does Second Miss Jiang look like she's seriously ill? Could it be that her previous injuries haven't fully healed yet?"
Shen Tingsi suddenly felt ashamed. Jingyi was his beloved sister. When had he ever let her see him in such a miserable state?
Just a few days ago, Jingyi was leaning on her brother's arms and acting coquettishly, but now he was standing in front of her, but it seemed as if there was a huge gap between them.
This feeling was the same as when he met the Empress Dowager.
Jiang Xiancao took in the embarrassment in Shen Tingsi's eyes and curled his lips:
"She became like this because someone tricked her here in my name and drugged her. If I hadn't gotten the news and rushed to rescue her in time, she would have been defiled by the thief by now."
For a lady, losing her virginity before marriage means damaging her reputation and she will never be able to recover from it in her life.
Her only way out was to become a nun and spend the rest of her life in seclusion.
Jingyi opened her mouth in astonishment, "Who is so vicious?"
"Of course it was the man who slipped the note into your refreshments and lured you in to watch the fun."
Jiang Xiancao looked at an inconspicuous figure in the crowd and said with a smile:
"Miss Jiang, as the mastermind behind this, why don't you come over and say hello to your sister?"
Jiang Huaizhu, who was mixed in the crowd, looked pale.
She never dreamed that the people in Tianming Pavilion were so useless. They claimed that their unique drug could even knock down gods, but they couldn't even deal with the unlearned Ninth Prince, and were caught in the act!
At this moment, the guards of the palace, the secret guards of the Imperial City Bureau, and the princesses and noble ladies all turned their heads and looked at her.
