When Xiang Wan instructed Tong Siwei of the Surveillance Department to lead people to the Huanxi Restaurant to rescue the people, the place was already surrounded by layers upon layers of people.
The second princess of the current dynasty, in broad daylight, actually colluded with female guards to rape several women of unknown origin! If it were rape of men, it might not be so shocking. The onlookers, though silent, clearly showed their contempt in their eyes.
Diners in the restaurant witnessed firsthand that the waiters sent in by the restaurant almost never came out!
Playing with women is common among noble families, but this is the first time it has been done so openly, especially since the one who committed such a despicable act was the second princess of the current dynasty!
When the maidservant was helped out by several people with their faces covered, the effects of the drug had not yet worn off. Her provocative actions stunned the onlookers.
That's shameless!
How shameless!
Making a fool of oneself in public is worse than being a king!
Hmm, suddenly I feel that the king is actually quite normal, we can't expect too much!
The previous discussions about Xiang Wan were thus turned around.
When Hua Wanqing returned to her residence that evening, she was so angry she felt like she was going to grind her teeth to powder!
The plan was so perfect, and Hua Xiangwan had already taken the bait, so where did things go wrong!
Xiang Wan sent Xiao Fuzi, a female prison guard, to visit her, bringing a lot of medicinal herbs and telling her to take care of her health. She also scolded the owner of the Treasure Pavilion and promised to investigate the matter of the Treasure Pavilion selling fake medicines and harming people.
Hua Wanqing could barely maintain her smile, yet she still had to express her gratitude for the king's generous reward.
She said the medicine in that bottle was fake. It's unclear whether the pavilion master didn't make it clear, or if Xiang Wan was pretending not to know.
Hua Wanqing firmly believed it was the latter; the king intended to wipe out the entire Treasure Pavilion!
What could she do?
She had that woman give the medicine to Hua Xiangwan without specifying its purpose, and it caused such a huge embarrassment to the Second Princess. It would be unreasonable not to investigate.
After Xiao Fuzi left, Hua Wanqing hurriedly sent someone to inform the people at the Treasure Pavilion so they could prepare. However, it was too late.
When Xiang Wan went to inform the Censorate, Lang Wuqing, the patrol captain of Huadu, had already sealed off the Treasure Pavilion. They found many account books, correspondence, and secret transactions between the pavilion and local officials and nobles. One booklet was particularly interesting; it recorded the whereabouts of court officials, including dates, destinations, expressions, clothing, and who they met.
No wonder the original owner of this body was abandoned by everyone in her previous life. With so many things in Hua Wanqing's hands, she couldn't help but obey her.
The items were secretly delivered to Xiang Wan. When Hua Wanqing received the news brought back by her subordinate, she spat out a mouthful of blood, fainted with her eyes open, and the Second Princess's mansion was thrown into chaos.
Xiang Wan still had Lin Wushuang by her bedside, reading the letters aloud in front of him and telling him a few interesting stories.
Lin Wushuang's expression was somewhat complicated. He sat upright beside the phoenix table, holding the jade cup in his hand, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Say what you want to say, I... I just love listening to you talk."
After three sentences—no, just one sentence—she started behaving inappropriately. Lin Wushuang slammed the cup down on the table and demanded, "That medicine was originally meant to be used against me, wasn't it?"
Hearing this, Xiang Wan chuckled, reached out a finger to lift his chin, and said, "Baby, are you disappointed that I didn't let you use it?"
Lin Wushuang slapped Xiang Wan's hand away and said coldly, "If you dare to use that on me, I'll kill you!"
"Oh, you've really trampled me into a mess, it's heartbreaking!"
"Do you even have a heart?" Lin Wushuang asked with a mocking expression.
Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows, clutched her chest, and looked at him with a sorrowful expression.
Lin Wushuang's eyes flickered, and he looked away, saying, "You specially brought me to the Treasure Pavilion just for the Second Princess, didn't you? I'm just a male prostitute from a brothel. It's an honor to become a pawn of the King!"
"Is that all?"
"You originally planned to have the Second Princess take liberties with me, so you could have a legitimate excuse to shut down the Treasure Pavilion. As for why you changed your mind later, I suppose it's because I still have greater value to you?" Lin Wushuang calmly stated the facts, as if he were talking about someone else's affairs, which had nothing to do with him.
Xiang Wan quietly looked at the handsome man before her, then suddenly leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, laughing, "Saying one thing and meaning another will be punished."
Lin Wushuang stared at Xiang Wan in astonishment, a sudden flutter of emotion flashing through her heart, but then she remembered that those lips had kissed countless men, and she felt utterly disgusted, turning her head to the side.
The system was stunned; it hadn't captured such a heartwarming scene!
"Xiao Qi, are you full?"
W-what, you're full?
"Dog food!"
That's heartbreaking!
It insisted on recording the video! Later, the host would have to beg it to play it back!
As for this man who threatens it from time to time, sorry, the host comes first, it comes second, who does he think he is?!
The next day, the court officials went to court, their hearts filled with trepidation, each watching the emperor seated on the phoenix throne with bated breath. Tong Chengyu, the usually most talkative censor, was surprisingly silent, standing among the officials.
The court officials are all cowering and acting like quails; this won't do!
"What, are you all mute? Tong Chengyu, tell me, what's your opinion on the Treasure Pavilion matter?"
Called out to speak, Tong Chengyu stiffened. Meeting Xiang Wan's expectant gaze, he forced himself to say, "The Zhenbao Pavilion is a sham, secretly collecting the private information of court officials. Its intentions are wicked, and it should be shut down completely!"
