Mrs. Du found an excuse and led the ladies to push open the door of the room, and then saw Qin Guangyu and Du Shuangshuang in disarray in broad daylight.
The noise was so loud that Du Shuangshuang didn't wake up.
Qin Guangyu's drunkenness had also subsided. Seeing this, he hurriedly explained:
"It was Du Shuangshuang who seduced me and specially sent me a handkerchief to invite me here."
Seeing that things were going wrong, Mrs. Du went forward to fight Du Shuangshuang.
"I took you into my house with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to be such a slut who seduced your cousin."
In severe pain, Du Shuangshuang slowly woke up and saw Qin Guangyu, who was in dishevel, not Qin Guangxuan, who was covered with a quilt and crying.
Seeing that all the dirty water was thrown on Du Shuangshuang's head, Du's mother, the old lady of Ningguo Marquis, spoke up.
"Shuangshuang didn't wake up despite the loud noise just now. It's obvious that she was knocked unconscious. Someone must have set her up on purpose."
Mrs. Du looked at her mother without blinking. How could she speak up for that lowly concubine's daughter Du Shuangshuang? Her own son was her only grandson.
No matter how close her grandson is, if Du Shuangshuang is accused of seduction today, the reputation and marriage situation of all the children in the Du family will be difficult, and the old lady of Ningguo Marquis must consider this.
The girl from the imperial physician's family picked up the handkerchief beside the bed and confirmed that there was a sleeping pill on it.
At this point, everyone thought that Qin Guangyu had knocked Du Shuangshuang unconscious and did dirty things to her while she was unconscious. He also took her handkerchief and slandered her afterwards.
If today's incident had not been exposed, he would probably have used the handkerchief to threaten the girl to continue to fool around with him.
No matter how much Du explained that it was someone's plan, no one listened.
The old lady of Ningguo Marquis also wanted an explanation from Mrs. Du.
An Qingyu, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo, could no longer bear the stares of the crowd and ran away at the very beginning. The wife of the Duke of Anguo, with a gloomy face, asked Mrs. Du to give an explanation to the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
Mrs. Du was overwhelmed. After watching the excitement, everyone went home. Things had come to this point and the banquet could definitely not continue.
General Qin was accompanying the male guests. When he heard the noise and rushed over, the female guests had already dispersed. He picked up a stick and attacked Qin Guangyu without saying a word, beating him so hard that he crawled on the ground.
Mrs. Du felt distressed and opened her arms to protect her son. General Qin's stick did not fall again. Although he was furious, he never hit women.
It was very lively here, and the back of Qin Guangxuan's robe, who was kneeling next to him, was soaked with sweat.
Shang Xiaoyang asked Qin Guangxuan to go find General Qin, and also his aunt and twin sisters.
As soon as Qin Guangxuan entered the next room, Madam Du rushed over with hatred in her eyes, "Did you kill my son?"
Qin Guangxuan dodged a few times, and the frantic Du was restrained by General Qin. "Have you had enough of this?"
Mrs. Du cried and was sent back to the yard by the servants along with Qin Guangyu, who was covered in blood.
Seeing that only General Qin was left in the room, Qin Guangyu whispered to the emperor to wait next door and made a gesture of wiping his neck to his father. General Qin was frightened, thinking that the matter had been discovered.
Shang Xiaoyang sat at the top, with General Qin, Li, and Danruo brother and sister kneeling below.
Shang Xiaoyang stared at Dan Ruo and asked Li to take off her bun and comb her hair into a man's style.
"Tell me, how did you trick me?"
Although his tone was calm, the emperor's aura was fully revealed and unfathomable.
General Qin quickly took the responsibility on himself, saying that he was confused and asked the girl to come out to play because his son had injured his leg.
Li said that she was biased towards boys and was afraid that her son would be delayed in making achievements, so she forced her daughter to take her son's place.
Qin Guangxuan hurriedly said that it had nothing to do with his parents, and that he was the one who was bewildered and forced his sister to do it.
Shang Xiaoyang was so angry that he laughed.
"You are still bullying the emperor. Do you think your own head is not enough to chop off?"
Dan Ruo was very touched by the care her family showed her for the original owner. She raised her head and looked at Shang Xiaoyang:
"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I learned from my brother that Your Majesty came to the army secretly. I have been listening to Your Majesty's legendary stories since I was a child. I admire Your Majesty very much.
She knocked her injured brother unconscious and pretended to be him, hoping to catch a glimpse of the emperor from a distance and she would be satisfied. Her aunt and father only found out about this later.
Please, Your Majesty, just punish me. The others were implicated because of me.
Shang Xiaoyang looked at her, her eyes full of his own image, his eyes sparkling, his heart beating faster. Yes, this is how Guard Qin feels.
General Qin quickly took out the golden medal of immunity from death and said, "Your Majesty, please pardon my daughter's death penalty for deceiving the emperor."
Shang Xiaoyang took the gold medal in his hand. The old man carried it with him. It seemed that Gong Yan had thought of today at that time.
He said slowly, "The gold medal can only save one person from death. If Qin Danruo disguises herself as a man and takes her brother's place at the border, she will be guilty of deceiving the emperor and facing death."
Later, when Qin Guangxuan returned to the palace, he acted in front of me every day, pretending to be the Qin guard I was familiar with at the border. This is also a capital crime of deceiving the emperor.
General, this gold medal must be used in the right place, to save your son or daughter.
General Qin and Li were heartbroken, but the emperor never joked, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Shang Xiaoyang smiled. He had to let them feel the ups and downs of his mood during this period.
"Seeing General Qin in such a dilemma, I've made a choice for you. Use the gold medal to save Qin Guangxuan. Qin Danruo, considering her young age and her deep love for me, can be spared the death penalty, but she will need to serve as my maid for a few years to atone for her sins."
