The man in black remained silent, unbuttoning his clothes as he lunged forward.
He grabbed Mu Wanyu, but she was no match for him. In an instant, her nightgown was torn to shreds, leaving her only in a moon-white bodice and underwear. She screamed and pushed the man away, frantically grabbing at the blanket to try and cover herself...
However, she was already weak and sickly and could not resist the man's assault. Her breathing became rapid and shallow, as if she was about to faint at any moment, and she could hardly shout for help.
Tears streamed down her beautiful little face, filled with despair and pain. Who will save her?
"Help! Someone help me..." The man in black covered her mouth and began to grope her. The woman beneath him was powerless to resist. He lifted his head from her neck, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "The Emperor's women are so fragrant. I wonder what they taste like."
Mu Wanyu was already out of her mind; she felt like she was going to suffocate.
The man in black wasn't particularly rude. He touched the delicate woman all over before taking off her underwear. In the dim light, his excited eyes revealed a hint of excitement.
Just then, a sound came from outside the window, and two men in black appeared in the room; both were masked.
"You beast, what are you doing!" a dignified voice rang out.
Upon hearing the noise, the man in black on the bed immediately stopped what he was doing, grabbed his clothes, and scrambled out of bed.
He knelt tremblingly before the two men. By the moonlight streaming through the window, the face of the man who had shed his disguise was revealed, and this man was none other than Cheng Si.
At this moment, he no longer cared about anything else; all he thought about was that the person in front of him shouldn't kill him. The Dark Guard had a rule: no one was allowed to commit rape or kidnapping; otherwise, they would be killed without mercy. Thinking this, his naked body was already covered in cold sweat.
"Cheng Er, take the person back and deal with him according to the rules."
"Yes." Cheng Er stepped forward indifferently and made a quick move, rendering Cheng Si unable to move. In an instant, the two figures disappeared from the room.
Cheng Yi didn't look behind the curtain. He simply closed the open window, went out through the main door, sprinkled some medicine powder on the unconscious maids and servants, and then flew away.
A cold wind blew into the room, lifting the curtains. The woman on the bed was left with only her underwear, revealing her fair and beautiful body. However, she had fallen into a coma, her face pale, and it was unclear whether she was in any danger.
A short while later, Huichun and Huiqiu woke up and found themselves lying on the cold floor. Realizing that something was wrong, they rushed in when they saw the door wide open. They were terrified to see their young mistress in such a miserable state.
"Help! Help! Quickly fetch a doctor!"
Huichun ran out of the room, and the maids and servants outside slowly woke up as well. Hearing their cries, some ran to inform the master, some ran to fetch the doctor, and some went to fetch hot water... The courtyard was bustling with activity.
Huiqiu used hot water to wipe Mu Wanyu's body. Seeing several red marks on her body, she felt extremely distressed. Who dared to treat their young lady like this! After wiping her body, she brought her clean nightgown to change into and covered her with a blanket.
She knelt by the bed and couldn't help but shed tears. A moment later, Grand Scholar Mu rushed in... Grand Scholar Mu's residence became lively again.
Inside the palace, Emperor Jingcheng was sleeping soundly with his beloved woman in his arms when he suddenly heard Zheng He's voice outside.
Di Jingcheng was dissatisfied. Why couldn't things wait until tomorrow? Why did they have to wake him up in the middle of the night?
Hearing Zheng He's two shouts outside several times, Di Jingcheng had no choice but to quietly get up and pull his arm out from under Azi's head.
Seeing that she stirred, her hands seemingly searching for something, he quickly reached out and took her hand. The little girl then stopped moving and fell into a deep sleep again.
Di Jingcheng didn't dare to move for a long time. He took his pillow and let her hug it before pulling his hand away. Before leaving, he kissed her forehead and carefully covered her with the blanket.
Zheng He and Cheng Yi stood at the door, finally waiting for the emperor to come out. Seeing that the emperor's cloak was not yet properly put on, Zheng He quickly stepped forward to adjust it for him.
Emperor Jingcheng was furious at the sight of him and kicked him in the buttocks: "What are you yelling for! Once is enough, why did you yell so many times! I think you really don't want to live!"
Zheng He'er was on the verge of tears. He glanced at Cheng Yi, who was not involved, and could only swallow his bitterness: "Your Majesty, this servant knows he was wrong. However, Lord Cheng Yi said he has urgent business to discuss with me."
Di Jingcheng glared at him, then turned and left: "Zheng He'er, you stay here and guard. Cheng Yi, go to the study."
Before leaving, Cheng Yi glanced at Zheng He'er, his indifferent gaze seeming to say, "It's none of my business."
Zheng He was furious, clutching his backside in exasperation, kicking and punching Cheng Yi's back as he watched him go.
In the study, after listening to Cheng Yi recount what had happened at the Mu residence, Emperor Jingcheng showed no surprise.
Cheng Yi also marveled at his master's uncanny foresight, as even he himself had not seen through Cheng Si's impure thoughts, and felt truly ashamed.
"Your Majesty, also, news has come from the border that there seems to be some unusual activity in the two kingdoms of Beixiang and Dongyang. The emperors of the two kingdoms are secretly communicating and seem to be plotting something."
"Among the four kingdoms, Xijing is stronger than the other three in every aspect. Only Nanling is more docile. The other two are wolves with ambitions and are always watching us."
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should make preparations as soon as possible. Although the alliance of the three kingdoms is far less powerful than that of the Western Kingdom, once war breaks out, it will be the common people who suffer."
"I understand, which is why the war cannot break out within Xijing territory. However, to win the hearts of the people, we must narrow the scope of the war. We should coordinate from within and without to defeat them from within. We must thoroughly investigate the news that our people have sent back. I will convene the ministers in the next few days to discuss this matter. You make arrangements for your men."
"Your Majesty understands. Our men are ready."
"That's good. By the way, as for Cheng Si, he doesn't deserve this name anymore. Just deal with him according to the rules."
"yes."
As an emperor, Emperor Jingcheng naturally had the ambition to expand the territory, but maintaining the foundation of the country was the basis of everything. He was neither a ruler who wanted to maintain the status quo nor a radical person.
In the end, Cheng Si was stripped of his exclusive name from the Dark Guard Pavilion, executed, and ceased to exist in the world.
Mu Wanyu (in ancient times) survived, but she was greatly frightened. She didn't know if she had been violated and was filled with fear.
Li Li has come several times in the past few days, but she hasn't seen him. She really doesn't know what to do.
Huichun and Huiqiu repeatedly assured her that her undergarments were still on her body and there were no signs of violation, but she still didn't quite believe it and felt too ashamed.
Seeing her growing thinner and thinner, Scholar Mu was extremely worried and asked a nanny to come and check on her health.
Mu Wanyu also desperately needed a definite answer. When the nanny kindly told her that she had not been violated, the heavy weight in her heart was lifted.
But the trauma in her heart could not be completely healed. She felt that she needed to rest for a while, so her long-strained mind relaxed and she fainted again. Then another Mu Wanyu (time traveler) appeared.
