How did I end up here?
The moment Yu Nanqing appeared, Dai Zhiwan visibly breathed a sigh of relief; she had genuinely believed that Prince Gong was in the room.
If that's the case, the image Yu Nanqing has built in her mind over the past two days will probably collapse.
Just moments before, she had envied the relationship between Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan, but the next second she was given such a shock that she felt she could not accept it.
Just then, Xu Yixuan tugged at her sleeve, and she hurriedly followed suit and bowed to Yu Nanqing.
Compared to everyone's shock, Su Wanyan didn't react much. As if she had expected it, she said with dissatisfaction, "Where did you go! You were gone for so long. If you had come any later, the news of your child with Su Muqing would have already spread."
"..." Yu Nanqing frowned slightly, this...
You can't just say things like that carelessly.
The people around her also lowered their heads, as if Su Wanyan's words were saying that they were making trouble out of nothing.
Isn't this just making trouble out of nothing?
Whether Yu Nanqing actually went in or not, they didn't see it with their own eyes.
It was just that the old woman shouted a few words, and someone in the crowd stirred things up, and everyone believed it to be true. They even felt sorry for Yu Nanqing and wanted to welcome someone like Su Muqing into the mansion.
Yu Nanqing quickly chuckled and coaxed, "Your husband is handsome, refined, elegant, and has a face as beautiful as Pan An. His smile is like the morning sun, and his anger is like the might of the heavens. He can even draw the emperor's white jade ivory bow and make shredded tofu and pagoda-shaped meat dishes. He went to buy his beloved wife her favorite fish-shaped pastry."
As he spoke, he told her not to hand over the food box, to prove he wasn't lying.
"..." Now it was Su Wanyan's turn to speak.
A barely perceptible blush appeared on his face. He heard everything, how long had he been hiding?
As soon as Yu Nanqing finished speaking, the heads of the people around him drooped even lower.
Looking up at the sky, the ground, and the air, I felt a sense of awkwardness—wanting to look but not daring to, wanting to listen but feeling embarrassed, wanting to laugh but also feeling envious.
Should they... leave?
But no one moved. Why didn't anyone go first? If someone went first, they would definitely follow.
"Impossible!" Zhen Yuhuai shouted, his eyes wide. "This is impossible!"
She looked at the tightly closed door, from which a faint, almost inaudible moan could be heard. Her expression began to crumble: "Impossible!"
She looked at Yu Nanqing in horror: "How did you get here? How did you get here!"
He asked twice.
He should have been in the room; she saw it with her own eyes. She even specifically instructed that aphrodisiac incense be burned in the room. There was no way Yu Nanqing wouldn't fall for the trap!
Yu Nanqing frowned: "Otherwise, where should I be?"
"You clearly!" Zhen Yuhuai's lips trembled, and she dared not say anything more!
Impossible!
If Yu Nanqing appears here, how can her Qing'er enter the Prince Gong's Mansion?
How can she compete with Su Wanyan? How can she enjoy wealth and luxury?
Just then, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed into the main entrance of Wangxiang Tower. Upon closer inspection, the leader turned out to be Lord Duan of the Dali Temple!
Dressed in official robes, he was imposing. With a furrowed brow, he led his soldiers straight to the third floor. His imposing aura was so overwhelming that it made the scions of noble families watching straighten their backs.
Why... even the Dali Temple is here?
And standing next to the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was Tanaka.
As soon as he realized something was wrong, Yu Nanqing had already ordered Tanaka to bring the Dali Temple to him.
As soon as the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review stepped forward, he bowed to Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan and said, "Your humble servant greets Your Highness and Your Highness the Princess."
Yu Nanqing nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Duan."
"Yes." The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review waved his hand and said in a stern voice, "Someone has accused the Lady of Yuanning of slandering the imperial relatives, defaming the royal family, committing insubordination, and using seductive means to coerce Prince Gong into doing despicable things. We have come here specifically to arrest the Lady of Yuanning and those involved for a thorough investigation!"
He pointed, his expression righteous and indignant: "Guards! Seize Lady Yuanning and all others involved! Open the door!"
"Don't open it!" Zhen Yuhuai panicked completely, struggling and shouting, "Don't open it! I'll go with you! You can't open this door!"
Once it's opened, Su Muqing will be truly finished!
However, before she could finish speaking, the soldiers from the Dali Temple kicked the door of the private room open with a loud bang.
In an instant, the crowd gathered at the doorway craned their necks to look inside.
Although I knew it in my heart, I still couldn't resist my curiosity and wanted to see.
Inside the private room, clothes were scattered all over the floor.
A strange fragrance filled the room. The door was kicked open, and the soldiers who had just entered were forced out by the fragrance.
But the task still had to be done. The officers and soldiers took a deep breath, covered their noses, held their breath, and then strode in, quickly opening all the windows in the room.
Looking out from the door, one could see a woman lying on the bed, the bed curtains slightly veiled. The woman was completely naked and kept writhing on the bed; it must be Su Muqing.
Su Muqing is now as senile as a three-year-old child. She has no idea what happened and only knows that her body is in great pain. Her groans are mixed with sobs. Affected by the aphrodisiac incense in the room, her consciousness has long been blurred.
"Qing'er! My daughter!" Zhen Yuhuai cried out in anguish, wanting to rush in and hold her in his arms.
Unfortunately, she was held tightly and couldn't move an inch.
The soldiers who went in still showed Su Muqing some respect. They didn't immediately lift the bed curtains, but instead covered her with a blanket, wrapped her up tightly, and then brought her out.
When Su Muqing was brought out, her face was flushed, her eyes were unfocused yet full of spring-like longing, mixed with tears, and she looked bewildered and at a loss.
Su Muqing was already beautiful, but now that she's gone mad and her intelligence is like a child's, seeing her being used by her own mother in this state, the onlookers couldn't help but show them pity.
"Only the Marquis of Yuanning's family would treat their own daughter like this. First there was the Princess Consort, and now their own daughter, Su Muqing. What kind of sins have they committed?" Some people in the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
"That's right. A few days ago, I heard that Prince Gong's Mansion sent a list to Marquis Yuanning's Mansion to choose a husband for Miss Su. I heard that all the men on the list were willing to marry her as his principal wife. Who knew that Marquis Yuanning was not interested... I'm afraid he thinks they are too low-class."
"Huh? Is that so?"
"Ha, Marquis Yuanning is complaining about other people's low social standing, but he doesn't even look at what his own daughter has become."
"So Your Highness is really a kind person. Even with Miss Su in this state, she is still worrying about Miss Su's marriage. Just now, the Lady of Yuanning Marquis said that Your Highness was heartless. It turns out that she was just greedy and insatiable. They deserved to end up like this."
"The Princess Consort is beautiful and kind-hearted. Didn't the Prince Gong's Mansion help the people before? That was all the Princess Consort's idea. As for the Marquis of Yuanning's Mansion... tsk tsk tsk, we should stay away from them in the future."
