Su Wanyan frowned, not even moving an inch from her seat: "Who are you?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the man slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
He narrowed his handsome eyes and strode closer to Su Wanyan: "Princess Consort Gong, please forgive me!"
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Su Wanyan's wrist.
Just as she was about to pull Su Wanyan up, Su Wanyan raised her hand first: "Wait, answer one question for me first."
Seeing her calm demeanor, the man frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Su Wanyan ignored his question and asked on her own, "Are you the Princess's male favorite?"
The man's eyes hardened, and he suddenly pulled Su Wanyan up and threw her onto the bed!
Su Wanyan's heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, the man had already leaned over her, encircling her in the small space of the bed, staring intently at her.
Su Wanyan braced herself on the bedsheets, meeting the condescending gaze: "Did the Princess send you to ruin my reputation?"
"Since you already know, why ask?"
"If you're discovered, you won't survive either. Are you willing to risk your life for the Princess?"
"Neither of us can make our own decisions, can we?" The man didn't waste any more words and pushed Su Wanyan down onto the bed.
Su Wanyan suddenly flicked her sleeve at his face, and white powder instantly flew out from her wide sleeve.
The man only hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes and fell straight down towards Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan quickly kicked him, and the man collapsed limply to the ground.
Su Wanyan waved her hand in front of her nose, and only after the smell dissipated a little did she take a deep breath.
This is a potent sedative she made; inhaling even a tiny bit will render someone unconscious.
She had sewn the sleeping pill into her sleeve beforehand, so it could be released with a strong flick of her wrist. She had already held her breath when she flicked her sleeve just now.
She strolled to the table and poured herself a cup of tea to calm her nerves.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess actually wanted to use force.
Having an affair with her male lover would not only ruin her reputation, but also give the princess an excuse to make trouble.
Women in ancient times always valued chastity. The princess probably wanted to use this to torture her mentally. A woman whose body was defiled would either die to prove her innocence or die of shame, let alone the Princess Consort of Prince Gong.
They have tarnished the prestige of the royal family, and imprisonment would not be an exaggeration.
Whether or not her crimes can be punished is another matter, but she will definitely suffer a lot at the hands of the Princess.
Su Wanyan sat down, crossed her legs again, and looked at the man lying on the ground.
Well, how should I put it, her temperament is somewhat similar to Su He's.
The only difference was that his eyes had a captivating quality, as if he was deliberately using them to bewitch people.
It turns out that the eldest princess liked this type of man: handsome, tall and slender, with a scholarly air, and a refined and cultured demeanor.
She seemed to understand why the eldest princess was not interested in Si Yang.
Si Yang was a martial arts champion, and he exuded the aura typical of martial artists. Compared to this male concubine, she felt that Si Yang was superior in terms of appearance alone.
The eldest princess likes gentle and mild-mannered people like Si Yang. She probably thinks he's hard to control... well, she might also think that a mere warrior doesn't have the same elegance as these scholars and gentlemen.
All of the above are Su Wanyan's guesses. If she had the chance, she would like to gossip about other things.
Although she disliked the eldest princess, she was very curious about her, and her behavior was absolutely outrageous in this era.
"Knock knock".
There were two knocks by the window.
Su Wanyan walked to the window and heard Mingyu's voice from outside: "Your Majesty?"
Su Wanyan then opened the window.
Behind this room is a lake, where lotus flowers are planted. At this time of year, only withered lotus flowers can be seen on the lake.
The house was only a step or two away from the lake. If Su Wanyan tried to escape, she would easily be discovered by the guards in the mansion.
Right now, Mingyu was hanging from the roof beam, head down, reporting to Su Wanyan: "Your Majesty, the entrances and exits of the courtyard have been cordoned off, and there are guards at the door of the house. The Princess is coming soon."
Su Wanyan didn't say much, and stretched her hands out of the window.
Mingyu grabbed Su Wanyan's arms with both hands and, with a little effort, pulled her out of the room.
"Your Majesty, I will take you away now."
"Wait a minute." Looking down from the rooftop into the courtyard, you can see a group of people rushing over from not far away.
"Your Highness, come this way quickly! Something terrible has happened! This old servant saw it with my own eyes!" The old woman leading the way hurriedly said.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the two maids guarding the door tactfully withdrew.
"What exactly happened?" It was the voice of the eldest princess, still full of authority.
"Oh, Your Highness... This old servant really can't say it! Your Highness, please hurry, or something bad will happen!"
The old woman's voice was urgent and worried, but she wouldn't say what had happened.
Following behind the princess were a group of daughters from prominent families.
Su Wanyan gestured to Mingyu, and the two quietly left the rooftop.
The princess had prepared a new banquet venue, and everyone arrived one after another, except for Su Wanyan, who was nowhere to be seen.
While they were at the banquet waiting for the person to arrive, an old woman rushed over anxiously and said that something had happened.
But the old woman wouldn't say what exactly happened.
This group of people was thus drawn over.
"Your Highness, please go in and take a look!" the old woman said anxiously at the door.
"Isn't this the room where Princess Gong is resting?" the eldest princess asked. "What could possibly happen to Princess Gong in there?"
"Oh, Your Highness..." the old woman hesitated, "Just now... this old servant saw a man go into the room with Princess Gong... Your Highness, please go in and take a look."
Upon hearing this, the young ladies suddenly understood.
A murmur arose: "No way, Princess Gong is so shameless! This is the residence of the Eldest Princess..."
"I thought she was really so high and mighty, actually having a secret rendezvous with a man in broad daylight..."
"Princess Gong's wife has been married to Prince Gong for some time now, and Prince Gong's appearance is probably... No wonder she's in such a hurry to have an affair; she can't stand the loneliness..."
"Who can't stand being alone?" Suddenly, Su Wanyan's voice came from behind everyone.
The princess's heart sank instantly, and she turned around abruptly.
The young ladies looked alarmed and instinctively lowered their heads to make way for him.
Just now, because they had opposed Su Wanyan at the Autumn Banquet, they had caused the Princess to become dissatisfied with them. Now that Su Wanyan had appeared, they dared not speak recklessly again.
The old woman who had led the way stared in disbelief: "What are you doing here?"
She glanced at the door behind her, then at Su Wanyan standing in front of her: "Impossible!"
