"Alright, then I'll take you home." It's so late, he wouldn't feel at ease letting Xiao Yanzi go home alone.
When the two arrived at Shenwu Gate, the guards there looked at Xiao Yanzi strangely, making her feel uneasy. "Why are you looking at me like that? What happened in the palace?"
"I heard that the Fifth Prince has taken a liking to a woman, and she's still at Yonghe Palace..."
"Who is that woman, that she could win the Fifth Prince's favor?"
"I don't know, but if the Fifth Prince's wife finds out about this, that woman probably won't have a good ending..."
"That's not necessarily true. Perhaps this time, it's the Fifth Prince who insists on taking a concubine..."
Upon hearing such rumors, both Xiao Yanzi and Xiao Jian turned pale.
Xiao Jian frowned and said, "It seems that tonight's events were a conspiracy!"
Use Xiao Yucheng's affair to lure Xiao Yanzi away, and then take the opportunity to sneak into Yonghe Palace.
"Little Swallow, go check on Yongqi quickly. No matter if it's true or false, you can't let the mastermind succeed. I'll go back and find out exactly how Little Sun was poisoned."
"I see."
When Xiao Yanzi rushed back to Yonghe Palace and saw the faces of the palace eunuchs and maids, as well as Consort Yu, she panicked.
“My lady, it’s all Xiao Shunzi’s fault. Before you left, you told Cai Zi to keep a close watch on the Fifth Prince…”
Where is Yongqi?
Consort Yu said, "He's still in his room..."
Xiao Yanzi rushed back to their room and saw a man guarding Yongqi's bedside. Yongqi's clothes had been undressed, and a naked woman was lying on the floor...
"Who are you? What's going on?"
"No matter who I am, I did you a huge favor tonight. If I hadn't shown up in time, their good deed would have really gone ahead with..."
"Now that you're here, these two are yours!"
"Come see me at Bibo Court after you've settled your affairs!"
After the man finished speaking, he gracefully flew out of the palace.
Xiao Yanzi didn't have time to care who the man was. She looked at Yongqi on the bed with concern and took his pulse. "He hasn't been poisoned or drugged. Could he really just be drunk?"
"Little Swallow..." Yongqi reached out and hugged Little Swallow. He opened his eyes and murmured, "Didn't you take your clothes off just now? Why are you putting them back on?"
Upon hearing Yongqi's words, Xiaoyanzi was furious and immediately slapped him awake!
"Little Swallow? Why did you hit me?" Yongqi, who had been woken up by the slap, looked at Little Swallow with a bewildered expression. "What did I do wrong?"
Looking at Xiao Yanzi's face, Yongqi knew that he must have angered her, but he really didn't know why she was angry.
Little Swallow sneered, "If I didn't take off your clothes, how did you manage to get them off?"
"I...am I not you?" Yongqi seemed to remember Xiaoyanzi helping him out, but now Xiaoyanzi was saying it wasn't her. Could it be...?
Little Swallow cupped his head in her hands and turned him around, asking, "Look who she is!"
"Ah!" Yongqi screamed in fright, "Who is she? Why is she here?"
Yongqi was dumbfounded. He had just fallen asleep while drunk, but when he woke up, the world seemed surreal.
A naked woman was lying on the ground, her clothes had been undressed. Xiao Yanzi was angry, and Yongqi quickly got up and knelt down in front of Xiao Yanzi, "Xiao Yanzi, you have to believe me, I'm definitely innocent!"
"She...she plotted against me, Little Swallow, you have to help me get revenge..."
"You were drunk and didn't feel anything at all? There was so much noise outside, and you didn't feel anything? Someone got into your bed and took off your clothes, and you didn't feel anything?"
"..." Yongqi fell silent. He truly felt nothing. The only time he felt anything was when he saw Xiaoyanzi arrive and undress him...
"Little Swallow, she must have given me some kind of subtle drug that's why I was sleeping so soundly..."
Yongqi firmly believed that he was definitely innocent and had been framed!
"By the way, Little Swallow, where did you go again?" Yongqi noticed Little Swallow's clothes and remembered to ask her where she had been.
"I clearly remember that we slept together..."
Little Swallow said helplessly, "Someone poisoned Little Sun, I'm going to save him..."
"What???"
Then Xiao Yanzi continued, "When I got back, I found out that there were many snakes in Yonghe Palace and the surrounding palaces, and there was a fire next door. Everyone around you was lured away. That's when she sneaked in. It seems she stripped naked and went straight to bed..."
"If a man hadn't appeared in time to save you, Yonghe Palace would probably have had another woman..."
"..." Yongqi felt a wave of fear wash over him. "Who was that person?"
He wanted to know who had saved his life. If he had been defiled without his knowledge, he would have no face to see Xiao Yanzi!
"He didn't say who he was, he only said that once things are over here, you need to go to Biboting to see him!"
Just then, the woman hidden by the clothes woke up. Caught off guard, she got up, and all her clothes fell to the ground. Her mind seemed to be returning to normal as she realized she was still in Yonghe Palace. Just as she was about to continue her actions, she saw Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi kissing...
She was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
However, regardless of the circumstances, at this moment, she had to use what happened tonight to get into Yonghe Palace.
She didn't care about her clothes anymore and went straight up and bumped Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi apart.
Startled, Yongqi quickly turned around and hid behind Xiaoyanzi, crying out, "Heaven and earth bear witness, Xiaoyanzi, I didn't see anything..."
"Little Swallow, why don't we let her go, or at least let her put her clothes back on..."
With a naked woman there, he felt incredibly uncomfortable, especially since she had just touched him...
The woman knelt on the ground, grabbed Xiao Yanzi, and cried out, "Fifth Prince's wife, I know you are very angry now, but I am already the Fifth Prince's woman. If you don't let me into Yonghe Palace, the Fifth Prince will become a person who starts a relationship and then abandons it. At that time, the Emperor will not allow such a prince to succeed to the throne!"
"And you will become a jealous person, and such a person is not fit to be the mother of a nation!"
Little Swallow sneered, hooking her chin, "Let me tell you, even if he did touch you, you're still doomed!"
"If you dare to scheme against my man tonight, you'll have to face the consequences. I'll show you what happens to those who dare to seduce my man."
"I'm sure the Princess Consort has heard a lot of rumors by the time she returns, right? The story of Yonghe Palace has spread throughout the palace. If he doesn't take me in, the Empress Dowager won't agree!"
"If the Emperor and the Empress Dowager find out your identity, you will surely die!" Consort Yu's voice rang out. "You want to harm Yongqi? Let me tell you, not a chance!"
"Even if they know my identity, so what? Now everyone knows that it was the Fifth Prince who dragged me into the room and took me..."
Consort Yu sneered, "Everyone knows? Who saw it? Tell me!"
"No wonder it was such a coincidence! Little Swallow had just left Yonghe Palace when this incident happened. It turns out she was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but you didn't expect Yongqi to have accomplices. So your plan has completely failed!"
