A short while later, Zhang Wanniang arrived at Pei Shangxuan's residence.
When she arrived, she saw Hu Sheng feeding Pei Shangxuan a hangover soup.
Pei Shangxuan, however, seemed uncooperative.
"Master, quickly drink this hangover soup, it will make you feel better." Hu Sheng said, scooping up a spoonful of hangover soup and handing it to Pei Shangxuan.
"I won't drink it, it doesn't taste good." Pei Shangxuan looked resistant, his brows furrowing slightly.
He looked completely drunk.
"Sir, you'll feel better after drinking it, otherwise you'll have a headache tomorrow," Hu Sheng then advised.
However, Pei Shangxuan did not cooperate at all.
Just as Hu Sheng was racking his brains trying to get Pei Shangxuan to drink the hangover soup, Zhang Wanniang walked into the room.
There was still a hint of worry on his face.
He then quickly walked up to Pei Shangxuan.
"Brother, how did you get so drunk?!"
“Miss Zhang, you’ve come at the right time. The prince consort has never drunk the hangover soup, and I hadn’t noticed it at the time.”
"Quickly persuade the prince consort to drink the hangover soup," Hu Sheng said, handing the hangover soup to Zhang Wan Niang.
"Brother, it's me, Wan Niang! Wake up!"
"Drink this hangover soup and then go to sleep," Zhang Wanniang then shouted at Pei Shangxuan.
"Wanniang? Wanniang, you've come."
"I...I've been dismissed." Pei Shangxuan struggled to open his drunken eyes after hearing Zhang Wanniang's voice.
After recognizing that the person in front of him was indeed his Wan Niang, he said with a frustrated expression.
"Brother, drink the hangover soup first, then tell me what happened."
Seeing that Pei Shangxuan kept repeating that he had been dismissed and that his words were incoherent, Zhang Wanniang became somewhat anxious.
However, Pei Shangxuan was clearly drunk at this point, so naturally, he couldn't get anything out of him.
"Wanniang, I..."
"Brother, stop talking now. Drink the hangover soup first, or it will get cold and the medicine won't be as effective." After saying that, Zhang Wanniang scooped up a spoonful.
When Pei Shangxuan saw that it was his beloved who was feeding him, and looking at Zhang Wanniang's face, he unconsciously opened his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wanniang fed her the hangover soup.
After several repetitions, a bowl of hangover soup was consumed by Pei Shangxuan.
"Miss Zhang really knows how to handle things," Hu Sheng said to Zhang Wan Niang after taking the empty bowl from her.
"Go down and get some candied fruit for your brother." Then, Zhang Wanniang made an excuse to send Hu Sheng away.
"Yes, Miss Zhang." After replying, Hu Sheng left the room.
Seeing that no one was in the room, Zhang Wanniang approached Pei Shangxuan.
"Pei Lang, what exactly happened? Why were you dismissed from your post?"
"Where is the princess? Didn't the princess manage to persuade the emperor?" Zhang Wanniang's face was filled with confusion and worry.
"Wanniang, I've studied diligently for eighteen years, and all my efforts have been wasted in one night." Pei Shangxuan, having regained some clarity after drinking the hangover soup, lamented to Zhang Wanniang.
"I thought my former colleagues were close friends who appreciated each other, but I never expected that they were also after the princess's residence."
“From now on, I will no longer be able to enter officialdom.” Pei Shangxuan said with a pained expression.
"Pei Lang, what exactly happened? Why were you dismissed? Tell me quickly!" Zhang Wanniang then asked.
"It's the princess!" Pei Shangxuan exclaimed, his face filled with hatred.
"Princess? Why is that? You are the princess's husband, shouldn't she side with you? How could she have dismissed you from your post?"
After hearing Pei Shangxuan's words, Zhang Wanniang was even more confused.
"My dismissal was initiated by the princess at the emperor's request."
"So that I'd have time to spend with her!" Pei Shangxuan said angrily.
"How could this be? How could the princess do such a thing? Isn't this just delaying you!"
Zhang Wanniang then exclaimed in surprise.
"It's better not to mention her."
"Wanniang, why have you come to see me?" Pei Shangxuan then looked at Zhang Wanniang with a tender expression.
"Pei Lang, such a big thing has happened to you, how could I sit still? I came here in a hurry."
"Fortunately, although we've been dismissed from our posts, we can still rely on the princess," Zhang Wanniang said thankfully.
"Don't mention her. It's all her fault. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this situation."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore."
"Wanniang, all my eighteen years of dedication have been wasted like this." After saying this, Pei Shangxuan sadly leaned his head on Zhang Wanniang's shoulder.
“Pei Lang, in my heart you will always be an exceptionally handsome and talented scholar, a top scholar who will perhaps be able to serve as an official in the court in the future,” Zhang Wanniang said, embracing Pei Shangxuan.
"Wanniang, you are all I have now."
"Only you truly care about me," Pei Shangxuan said, his face filled with emotion.
“Pei Lang, from the day I met you, I have been yours, and I will never leave you in this lifetime.”
“Wanniang.” Pei Shangxuan was deeply moved upon hearing this.
In the midst of their passionate lovemaking, Zhang Wanniang momentarily forgot that they were not in a secure location.
As for Pei Shangxuan, he was also less cautious than usual because he was drunk.
"Bang!" A sound came from the direction of the door.
The incident startled the two people in the room, who then quickly separated.
Look in the direction of the entrance.
Zhang Wanniang looked extremely panicked.
At the entrance, besides Pei Shangxuan's servant Hu Sheng, there were also Mo Qian and others.
It turned out that while Mo Qian was reading a storybook, Xiao Bai told her that Zhang Wan Niang was heading towards Pei Shang Xuan's courtyard.
Mo Qian brought her people over because she wanted to watch a show.
I happened to run into Mr. Hu on the way; he was there to pick up some candied fruit.
As expected, after Mo Qian stopped everyone from bowing, she saw the scene from earlier at the doorway.
As for the noise just now, it was because Hu Sheng was so surprised that his hand trembled and he dropped the plate of candied fruit on the ground.
When Pei Shangxuan saw the princess at the door, he was immediately sobered up from his previous drunkenness.
His face showed a hint of panic, but having been in the imperial court before, he tried his best to appear nonchalant.
"Why is the princess here?" He tried to put on a smile.
"Princess." Zhang Wanniang, who was standing to the side, quickly stood up and bowed to Mo Qian.
As for Mo Qian, she ignored Pei Shangxuan and stepped into the room with a cold expression, stopping three steps away from him.
She looked up at him, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes!
