It was unknown how long it had been, but when the poison finally dissipated from Zhao Dun and Bai Luoxue was satisfied, they each put on their clothes and robes and got ready.
Zhao Dun went to the window and looked. It was pitch black outside and there was no light here.
He walked up to open the door and pulled Bai Luoxue out.
But after taking a few steps, they bumped into a wall of flesh and were immediately frightened.
The lamp suddenly lit up, followed by several more lanterns.
Zhao Dun looked at the person in front of him and knelt down in fear, "Your Highness, Prince Wei."
Bai Luoxue was so frightened that her face turned pale. She took several steps back and turned around to run, but was stopped by a guard holding a sword.
Song Shiyao looked down on them: "You are so happy and have no scruples, doing shameful things in my palace."
Zhao Dun kowtowed to Song Shiyao, over and over again, his forehead bleeding. "Your Highness, Prince Wei, this is all my fault. Don't blame the young lady. I was the one who forced myself on her."
Song Shiyao snorted coldly: "Forced treatment? But from what I heard inside, she seems to be enjoying it!"
Bai Luoxue suddenly burst into laughter and pointed at Song Shiyao, "Prince Wei, this is all your fault. We girls were once the apple of our parents' eyes, but now that we're with you, we can only be lowly concubines."
She glared at me like crazy. "That's fine. We all love you, love you to the bone, but what about you? Have you ever even looked at us? I've appeared before you many times, and introduced myself to you many times, but when I walked up to you, you didn't even know who I was."
Song Shiyao said coldly: "You asked for this."
Bai Luoxue was so angry that she stepped forward and was about to tear Song Shiyao apart, but was stopped by the guards, "What do you mean we asked for it? It's obvious that the Prince Wei's Mansion wanted all the officials to send a daughter to participate in the election. It was the Prince Wei's Mansion that provoked us."
Song Shiyao had nothing to say about this.
He took out a bottle of rouge, the very one with the poisonous powder, and asked sternly, "Did you put the poisonous powder in this box of rouge?"
Bai Luoxue looked at the rouge in Song Shiyao's hand, then touched the rouge in her purse that Song Shiyao had given her earlier, and said in surprise, "So the rouge you gave me just now wasn't poisonous?"
After hearing what Bai Luoxue said, Song Shiyao was convinced that it was Bai Luoxue who poisoned him.
He said coldly, "In fact, this prince has long made plans for you. I have already arranged for a matchmaker to work on your marriage. Once the match is made, I will marry you off in a grand ceremony. In addition to the dowries you originally brought from your parents' homes, the palace will also provide you with an additional 100 pieces of dowry, and will treat the men who marry you generously."
Bai Luoxue felt her head buzzing when she heard this.
Song Shiyao said, "This king is not very interested in the matter between you and Zhao Dun. However, you poisoned the princess, which is a capital crime."
Bai Luoxue's body softened and she sat down on the ground.
Song Shiyao glanced at Zhao Dun, then at Bai Luoxue, "Zhao Dun has blocked swords for me many times. I value him and trust him, so I let him guard the backyard gate."
The backyard gate is directly related to the safety of Song Shiyao and his women. Handing over the backyard gate to Zhao Dun is equivalent to handing over your back to Zhao Dun.
This shows Song Shiyao's trust in Zhao Dun.
Zhao Dun began to cry. He thought of the times when he risked his life for His Royal Highness Prince Wei, and the only thing in his heart was His Royal Highness Prince Wei's safety.
After crying for a few times, he kowtowed to Song Shiyao again and said, "Your Highness, Prince Wei, it is I who have betrayed your trust and done things that have humiliated you. You have sentenced me to death, and I accept it wholeheartedly."
Song Shiyao looked at Zhao Dun and said, "You have saved me several times. I will not punish you with death, but I cannot spare your life. From now on, you are no longer my man."
Zhao Dun looked at Bai Luoxue, "But if the prince wishes to sentence the young lady to death, I will accompany her to the underworld."
Song Shiyao said coldly: "Fortunately, Bai Luoxue did not harm the princess, otherwise I would have had her executed by slow slicing."
Zhao Dun looked at Song Shiyao, "What does Your Highness mean?"
Song Shiyao's gaze shifted to Bai Luoxue's face again, "Let me ask you first, do you have any accomplices?"
Bai Luoxue thought about how Liu Xiangjun could live in such a state, so she said, "This poison powder was Liu Xiangjun's idea. She asked her brother to buy it from people in the Western Regions, and then found me and asked me to conspire with her to poison the princess. When Liu Xiangjun invited the princess to the Fragrance Courtyard, Liu Xiangjun and I had a quarrel in front of the princess. It was all done on purpose, so that I could take advantage of the princess's presence in the Fragrance Courtyard and pretend to be angry and leave the Fragrance Courtyard. Then I went to the princess's bedroom in the main courtyard and infiltrated the poison powder into her rouge."
Song Shiyao thought about the schemes of these women and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
He threw the poisoned rouge in front of Bai Luoxue and said, "You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. Apply this rouge on your face, pack up your things, and leave the palace."
After saying that, he left Amo here staring at Bai Luoxue, and he turned away.
Bai Luoxue picked up the poison rouge in front of her, tears soaking her cheeks.
She opened the bottle cap, and the light from the lantern stained the beautiful rouge, which looked horrible as if it had seeped in blood.
Amodi pointed the tip of his sword at her.
She shrank back in fear and could only obediently apply the rouge on her face bit by bit.
Ah Mo took the rouge from her hand and looked at Zhao Dun again. "Zhao Dun, wait until her things are packed up, and you will escort her out of the palace. I will also pack up your things for you. From now on, you are not allowed to set foot in the palace again."
Zhao Dun gritted his teeth. He regretted it so much! He regretted that he shouldn't have had such thoughts and had evil thoughts about the little master in the backyard.
Bai Luoxue suddenly screamed wildly, scratching her face and screaming as she did so.
The guards were frightened by this scene.
Ah Mo said, "Bai Luoxue, have you ever imagined that if the princess hadn't been alert and discovered that this rouge was poisonous, she would have been in the same boat as you. You deserve this, it's all your fault."
He took the poison rouge and went to the backyard. The prince must be in Liu Xiangjun's yard at this time.
Sure enough, Song Shiyao was in Xiangyuan at this moment.
It just so happened that Liu Xiangjun was playing mahjong with several concubines, and Yu Xiangwei was also there.
When Song Shiyao stepped over the threshold, Liu Xiangjun thought her spring had come and went to greet him happily, but was kicked to the ground by Song Shiyao.
Then Liu Xiangjun was forced to kneel on the ground by the two guards accompanying her.
"My Lord, why did you hit me?"
Song Shiyao said coldly: "This king will not only beat you, but also kill you."
Liu Xiangjun has realized that it was the poisonous rouge that poisoned the princess's face, and His Royal Highness Prince Wei has traced it to her.
But she couldn't admit it no matter what, and pretended to be stupid: "Your Majesty, I still don't understand why you want to kill me?"
At this time, Ah Mo brought the poisoned rouge and said, "Liu Xiangjun, Bai Luoxue has confessed that it was you who poisoned your princess's rouge."
Liu Xiangjun quickly shook her head: "No, I did not poison the princess's rouge."
She was shocked. How did His Royal Highness Prince Wei know about this?
And what about Bai Luoxue?
Could he have been killed by His Royal Highness Prince Wei?
