Liu Youlin looked around for Liu Xuening. "Where's your sister?"
“Just now, when my daughter and her sister were toasting Princess An, they got their clothes dirty. Princess An took her to change, but her sister wouldn’t let my daughter come with them, so my daughter came back.”
"Oh no, oh no, your sister hasn't come back yet after all this time."
"General Yan, you're not talking about my sister, are you? That's impossible. My sister is so thoughtful and loves the Regent so much. How could she do such a thing?"
The more Liu Youlin thought about it, the more panicked he became. Following behind the group, he silently prayed: It's not Xue Ning! It's not Xue Ning!
The Emperor, along with his ministers and family members, arrived outside the north wing. Gasps of breath could be heard coming from inside…
Liu Youlin instantly collapsed to the ground: It's over, it's over, that voice is clearly Xue Ning's!
"Open the door for me! I want to see who dares to be so audacious in the Yan residence!"
When Liu Youlin heard that the Emperor wanted the door opened, he thought, "Wouldn't Liu Xuening's life be over? Regardless of whether Liu Xuening is inside or not, this door must not be opened!"
"Your Majesty, this door cannot be opened! If it is opened, how will the children inside be able to face the world?"
Looking at Liu Youlin's tearful appearance, the Emperor said, "I never knew that Minister Liu was so considerate of others. How dare you do such an improper thing on my fourth brother's wife's birthday! What does it matter if you can't even be a decent human being! Open it up for me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wang Gonggong pushed open the door with both hands. The air was filled with a seductive scent, which made Wang Gonggong frown.
The moment the door was opened, Yue Zhixiao and Liu Xuening on the bed had already woken up. Yue Zhixiao looked at Liu Xuening beneath him and couldn't help but feel nauseous. In the end, he couldn't hold it in and vomited on the side of the bed.
Liu Xuening could no longer hold back and screamed. Her voice was hoarse from breathing so hard for so long. Her hands gripped the sheets, which were already soaked with sweat, and her face was filled with mad hatred and despair. Tears streamed down her face, and she was on the verge of collapse.
"Get out here right now!"
After vomiting everything in his stomach, Yue Zhixiao knew there was no turning back. He got dressed and ignored Liu Xuening. He needed to deal with things here quickly so he could go back and take a good shower.
Liu Xuening also heard the sounds outside, "It's over, it's all over!"
She endured the excruciating pain throughout her body and slowly lifted the blanket. Her body was covered in bruises, and there were even many whip marks and dagger marks. Finally, she couldn't help but tremble, and tears streamed down her cheeks like a burst dam, filled with despair and pain.
The Emperor saw that it was Yue Zhixiao who came out. "It's you! Do you know what you're doing? The dignified Prince Xiao of Yue Kingdom, how dare you do such a thing in someone else's home? Do you even care about your status?"
"Whose daughter is inside? Bring her out at once, you're making a fool of yourself!"
Liu Xuening dressed and came out with her blankets on. Her clothes had already been torn to shreds by Yue Zhixiao, so how could she possibly wear them out in public?
"This humble woman greets Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"
When Liu Youlin saw that it was indeed his daughter who came out, he instantly collapsed to the ground, crying, "It's over, it's over!"
"So it's Minister Liu's daughter inside. No wonder he wouldn't let the Emperor open the door earlier."
"Yes, yes, looking at such a clear and gentle woman, I never expected her to be this kind of person. Isn't this a disgrace to Princess An!"
The people who had followed the emperor in whispered amongst themselves, making everyone in the room turn pale.
"Alright! All of you shut up! Yue Zhixiao, you tell me, what exactly happened?"
"It is my fault, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
Liu Xuening, wrapped in a quilt, knelt on the ground. "No, no, no, it was all Yan An's fault! It was Yan An who framed us! Yan An drugged us! Please, Your Majesty, investigate thoroughly! Give me justice!"
Liu Xuening gradually calmed down, but a sharp, cold light flashed in her eyes as she stared intently at Yan An.
The Emperor, his face contorted with rage and veins bulging, roared, "Liu Xuening, do you know what you're saying? To slander a princess like yourself, what is the punishment!"
"Your Majesty, you can't tolerate Yan An just because of your special relationship with her. I lost my innocence because of her!" Liu Xuening pointed at Yan An angrily, wishing she could tear her to pieces.
"Since Miss Liu says that I, the princess, have drugged you, then I would like to trouble His Majesty to invite the imperial physician to examine you both and see if you have indeed been drugged. In such a short time, I trust that the imperial physician will clear my name."
An unbearable rage surged to Yue Zhixiao's head, and he clenched his fists: This woman is absolutely stupid! How could he possibly cooperate with such an idiot!
That time they were drugged, and no clues were ever found afterward. How could they possibly find out they were drugged this time?
"Very well, since Princess An says so, then go and summon the imperial physician for me. I want to see if she has been poisoned."
"Your Majesty, I have met with the Regent and Prince Xiao."
"Go check on Yue Zhixiao and Liu Xuening to see if they've been drugged."
"yes."
A light suddenly shone in Liu Xuening's eyes. As long as it was found out that Yan An had poisoned them, her innocence could be restored, she would not be misunderstood, and the Regent would not abandon her. She glanced at Yue Xiyuan out of the corner of her eye, begging him to take her side and say a good word for her.
How could that unfriendly gaze escape Yan An's notice? It has to be said that Liu Xuening is still thinking about Yue Xiyuan and wants to be his queen. If you say she's naive, she's also pitifully stupid. Well, I wish her good luck.
"Your Majesty, there are no drugs in Prince Xiao's body and Miss Liu are not poisoned."
"What? Impossible! Impossible!"
Liu Xuening collapsed to the ground, her eyes wide open and unfocused. She covered her face with her hands and screamed and shouted like a madwoman.
Just as Liu Youlin was about to say something to his daughter, Liu Ruyan grabbed him.
“Father, there will be no good in displeasing the Emperor now. My sister has lost her chastity. Out of respect for you, the Emperor will surely grant her marriage to Prince Xiao. But if you anger the Emperor now, we don’t know how he will deal with my sister.”
When Liu Ruyan explained the matter, Liu Youlin was stunned. It was indeed the case. At present, the best choice was for the emperor to bestow a marriage upon them.
How could Liu Ruyan possibly want Liu Xuening to make her the Princess Consort of Xiao? It was all Yan An's idea. Yan An said that as long as she became the Princess Consort of Xiao, she would already have one foot in the gates of hell. Liu Ruyan had no other choice but to do as Yan An said.
