Chapter 25: Catching an adulterer
Yu Fei and Jing Cang were arguing. If he didn't give her a chance to step down, she wouldn't be able to think that he would take the initiative to make peace.
He had just returned to the palace and was very busy with official duties. He was either outside or in the front hall every day and rarely came to the backyard. Once when they met in the garden, he ignored her and she bowed to him perfunctorily according to the etiquette of a palace maid. The two of them were like strangers.
Hearing that the Queen had sent a nanny and a palace maid over, Jing Cang accepted the palace maid and let the nanny go back.
Yu Fei guessed that the nanny was sent by the queen to teach her manners and the palace maid was there to share her favor.
This is how it is played in movies and TV dramas. If the prince's maidservant or concubine is not well-mannered, the master in charge of the six palaces will ask a nanny to discipline her, and will also send a gentle and decent beauty to suppress her arrogance.
Yu Fei was not worried that Jing Cang would favor any palace maid. He was a man of integrity, and with the male snake to restrain him, he probably accepted her just to take the spotlight off her.
After all, his life depended on her. If she was killed by one of his enemies or assassinated by one of his admirers, wouldn't his life be game over?
That morning, after Yu Fei had finished her breakfast and was about to take a nap, a palace maid came to report that Prince Ning was coming and the Crown Prince was not in the East Palace, so this man specifically asked her to go and receive him.
Yu Fei: “???”
The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken, but he has no good intentions.
She washed up and went over.
The original author must be obsessed with looks. Not only did he make the hero look like the son of a god, but even the villain is incredibly handsome.
I couldn't observe him closely at the banquet that night, but I had the general impression that Prince Ning was a suave and charming man. When I saw him today, I found that he was indeed a decent and charming slut.
He was wearing a peacock blue robe, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Jing Cang's, but the corners of Jing Cang's eyes drooped sharply, giving people a feeling of aloofness and alienation, while his peach blossom eyes were like hooks, and when he looked at people, it seemed as if he was full of affection.
He sat back in his chair, crossed his legs, and tapped the table beside him from time to time. When he saw Yu Fei, he smiled and called out, "Little sister-in-law."
His voice was gentle yet frivolous, like a lecher flirting with beautiful women in a brothel.
"I don't deserve it." Yu Fei bowed and said seriously, "Your Highness is not here, may I ask what can I do for you, Your Highness?"
"Why? No." Jing Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said leisurely, "I came here today to pay my respects to the fairy who has made my brother so confused."
The word "fairy" has a rhythmic tone and a long ending, which makes people listen to it with a deep meaning. Yu Fei suspected that he wanted to say "witch".
"Your Majesty, thank you for the award. I am an ordinary girl and do not deserve such praise." Yu Fei bowed again, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Her intuition told her that Jing Yi's visit to her was definitely not a good thing.
"Wait." Jing Yi shouted, picking up the folding fan inserted diagonally at his waist and fanning slowly, "I heard that my sister-in-law has a concubine sister who looks so pitiful to me. I am quite interested in her. I want to ask my sister-in-law if she can be a matchmaker. Wouldn't it be great if your sister and I two brothers could marry each other?"
Original text: Jing Yi is not interested in Yu Shuang, and he has no interest in picking up a woman Jing Cang doesn't like. Why is it so sudden now?
Maybe it was because of her that Jing Yi dared to assassinate Jing Cang in Shu County, so he must have spies in that area, and he might have heard about what the original owner did to Jing Cang.
Maybe his intention to marry his half-sister was fake, but his real intention was to find out her true colors.
Yu Fei sat down beside him and said, "It is my blessing that the prince likes me. I am willing to have a chat with him."
Jing Yi's temperament is like a wolf. Once he sets his eyes on his prey, he will not let go easily. Instead of running away today and being pestered by him in the future, it is better to see what tricks he has.
Jing Yi glanced around, and Yu Fei understood and ordered the palace maids: "You leave, leave Ding Xiang to serve."
A maid stepped forward boldly, "But Your Highness said..."
"What? Can I still eat my sister-in-law?" Jing Yi interrupted with a sneer.
Yu Fei said, "Go down."
Everyone dispersed. Jing Yi looked at Yu Fei as if he were examining a rare treasure, and said directly: "I am very curious, what kind of leverage do you have on my brother that you can make him treat you like a treasure and bring you into the palace after you robbed him and broke his legs?"
"Your Highness, you are joking." Yu Fei used the same words that Yu Shuang had been forced to use to deceive Jing Cang to prevaricate, "I was the first one to find the prince under the cliff, and I sent my sister to rescue him. There was no kidnapping."
It is suspected that Jing Yi learned from the servants of the Yu family that the original owner broke Jing Cang's leg. After she came through, he ordered the government to block the news about Jing Cang. Before that, the talkative servants might have revealed the evil deeds done by the original owner.
Yu Shuang is Jing Cang's savior and seems to have a crush on Jing Cang. As the perpetrator, Jing Yi is afraid of being exposed and may not dare to send anyone to approach her to get information.
Yu Feiyan said he had no evidence and did not admit it.
She widened her eyes, patted her chest, and pretended to be frightened: "As for breaking the prince's legs, who the hell slandered me? When I picked up the prince, his legs were already broken. How can I be splashed with dirty water for doing good deeds?"
"Pah, pah, pah." Jing Yi put away his fan and clapped his hands, staring at her and said, "My little sister-in-law's acting skills are superb. I admire her."
Yu Fei saw that his eyes were as sharp as a blade, as if he wanted to cut open her chest to find out the truth.
She played dumb and said, "I don't understand what the prince is saying. It's nothing. I'll go down first. Please do as you please." She stood up and wanted to leave.
A fan blocked her way.
Jing Yi stood up and took a closer look at Yu Fei. The woman had a charming face and a voluptuous figure, like a pink lotus covered in dew and exuding fragrance, inviting people to pick her.
He leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law, the bright red dress you are wearing today is more beautiful than the green dress you wore at the banquet in the palace that day."
The man's warm breath brushed against her ears and neck, bringing a slight tingling sensation. Yu Fei took a step back. Jing Yi held the fan against her lower back and took a step forward to take a deep sniff.
"You smell good too. Let me guess, the reason why the emperor kept you by his side is not because you are a gifted and famous instrument that makes him unable to stop."
As he spoke, the fan slid down and caressed her buttocks.
"Let go! What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Fei liked to be praised but didn't like to be flirted with. She pushed his chest.
"Prince Ning, you treat my young lady like this. Where is the face of the Crown Prince?" Ding Xiang stood in front of Yu Fei like a hen protecting her cubs.
"I am talking to your young lady, and you have no right to interrupt." Jing Yi glanced at the servants accompanying him, and the servant grabbed Dingxiang by the back of the collar and dragged her away.
"This is the East Palace, Your Majesty, please respect yourself." Perhaps all villains have a bit of madness in them, Yu Fei warned in a cold voice.
"Heh, what did I do?" Jing Yi spread his hands, "I just want to tell you something in private."
He approached her and spoke softly, "Miss Yu, I know what you have done in Shu County. My brother may be disgusted by this, but I think it suits my taste very well. We are kindred spirits."
He was like a demon who led her astray, his tone was extremely tempting, "What my brother can give you, I can also give you, even more than him..."
After saying this, he winked at her, as if trying to make her dizzy.
Yu Fei: “…”
The original owner is of the same kind as you, but I am not! I am not!
In modern times, she is at most philanthropic, but she has never done anything really evil.
On the other hand, Jing Yi realized that he couldn't get any evidence against Jing Cang from her, so he changed to the route of seduction with both money and sex?
Yu Fei flatly denied it: "Three people make a tiger, and public opinion can melt gold. Your Majesty actually believed those hearsays." He continued to play dumb, "I really don't understand what you are saying..."
The ending of the original text has been determined. The villain will not have a good ending. He can't pry open her corner!
Jing Yi propped up her chin with a fan and sneered: "It seems that my sister-in-law prefers to be punished rather than to be toasted." He sighed, "It's a pity that such a beautiful face is such a stupid person..."
Yu Fei: “…”
You are as oily and arrogant as your words.
As Jing Yi approached her, the female snake had been stirring inside her body. Suddenly, it was as if it had taken a stimulant, jumping up and down as if it wanted to break through its skin and flesh and jump out.
Yu Fei had a premonition and looked outside the door, only to see Jing Cang leading a group of palace servants straight into the palace.
Thinking back to the day when he said she was not as good as Yang Zhi, she always felt resentful in her heart, as if he was very popular and she was a rotten cabbage that no one wanted.
Yu Fei's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind. She pretended to slip and hurriedly grabbed Jing Yi's waist with one hand.
Jing Yi saw her cunning look and was afraid that she was lying, so he used his folding fan to hold her waist to prevent her from falling.
"What are you doing?"
After a moment, a cold rebuke came from behind.
