Chapter 59 Everyone Knows
Zeng Hongbao happily admitted his identity, "It is this young master."
"Where is this young master's beauty?" He looked around with blurry eyes.
Finally, I saw Ling Xueyao being supported by Ruan Yiyu and Qiu Lan.
"Beauty..." He walked over swaying from side to side...
Ruan Yiyu and Qiu Lan helped Ling Xueyao hide from Zeng Hongbao, but because Ling Xueyao was unconscious, they were unable to move. They saw Zeng Hongbao's hand was about to touch Ling Xueyao again...
Suddenly a black shadow came and kicked Zeng Hongbao away.
"Who? How dare you attack me? Do you know who my father is?"
"My father is..."
Before he could finish his words, a big-nosed man swung down from the front.
Zeng Hongbao, who had just stood up, was knocked to the ground again by the slap.
"Who, who?" he muttered, standing up using his hands and feet, and walking towards the person with confused eyes.
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he shuddered and woke up instantly, "Dad."
The man who came was Zeng Fu, the commander-in-chief of the palace. He was furious and wished he had never given birth to this son.
"Evil son, why don't you kneel down and apologize to the emperor?" Zeng Fu said angrily.
Zeng Hongbao looked around in confusion, "Your Majesty?"
Only then did a palace maid sing loudly, "The Emperor has arrived."
The people present knelt down in a flurry, "Your Majesty, your servants pay their respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Zeng Hongbao was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, "Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."
"What happened?" Xiao Heng's face showed no emotion.
Madam Liu was about to explain when Ruan Yiyu excitedly rushed to Xiao Heng and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for Yao'er."
"My Yao'er came out with Princess Wanyue, but now my Yao'er has been... Princess Wanyue has disappeared."
"Princess Wanyue must have plotted against my Yao'er. Your Majesty, please make the decision."
Ruan Yiyu didn’t know what was going on, but since Yaoer knew their plan, how could she enter this room?
So there is only one possibility, that Ling Chan let her in.
"Where is Princess Wanyue?" Xiao Heng asked.
Gong Lan lowered her head and replied, "Your Majesty, my princess's clothes were soiled by the palace maid who served the dishes. Miss Ling said she would bring my princess here to change clothes, but I don't know where she is now."
"But my princess will never plot against Miss Ling."
"Why don't you go find Princess Wanyue right away?" Xiao Heng seemed to only care about Ling Chan's safety.
The palace maids following him scattered in all directions, looking for Ling Chan.
Someone with good eyesight came into the room, brought over a chair, and asked Xiao Heng to sit down.
Over there, Ling Xueyao was staggering as she was supported by Qiu Lan and Ruan Yiyu. Now she was pulled down to her knees. After tossing and turning for a while, she showed signs of waking up.
Ruan Yiyu noticed it and called her softly, "Yao'er? Yao'er?"
Ling Xueyao woke up faintly and looked at Ruan Yiyu in a daze, "Mom?"
"Yao'er, are you okay?" Ruan Yiyu asked.
Ling Xueyao looked at her, as if she didn't understand why she asked that.
But this confused expression only lasted for a moment, and she quickly remembered what happened before she fell into a coma.
"Mom, Ling Chan knows." She was so excited that she grabbed Ruan Yiyu. Her voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.
As for what Ling Chan knew, everyone knew it tacitly.
"Miss Ling, now it's not just Princess Wanyue who knows about it, we all know about it." Madam Liu said meaningfully, not afraid of Xiao Heng's presence.
Ling Xueyao only then realized that there were people all around her...
"What does Princess Wanyue know?" Xiao Heng asked sternly.
Ling Xueyao raised her head abruptly, and when she saw Xiao Heng, her eyes were dull, "Your Majesty..."
She looked at Ruan Yiyu in panic. Why was the emperor here?
There are so many people here... Why are you all gathered here? What's going on?
"Mom." She reached out to pull Ruan Yiyu, but Ruan Yiyu did not hold her hand, but instead held her clothes.
Ling Xueyao looked down along her hand and saw that her clothes were in disarray.
"Ah..." She realized what had happened and couldn't accept it for a moment. She screamed and fainted.
"Yao'er..." Ruan Yiyu hugged her and shouted again.
Xiao Heng frowned impatiently and looked away with disgust, then saw Zeng Hongbao trembling all over.
Sighing, Xiao Heng held his forehead with his hand, not wanting to see these troublesome people.
The people kneeling on the ground didn't dare to say a word and waited quietly...
"Your Majesty." Finally, a few palace maids who had gone out to look for Ling Chan came back.
But their expressions...seemed even more difficult to describe.
"how's it going?"
"Your Majesty, we haven't found Princess Wanyue." The palace servant hesitated for a moment, "But we did find her..."
"who?"
"The servants found Prince Huai and... Miss Ling Xuehui of the Ling Mansion in a nearby courtyard."
After stealing a glance at Xiao Heng, the palace maid didn't dare to continue. The situation over there was much better than here, but...it couldn't be said.
But when Ruan Yiyu heard that Ling Xuehui was with Prince Huai, she subconsciously asked, "Is Hui'er okay?"
When someone asked, the palace servant hesitated and said, "Miss Ling Xuehui is fine. She and Prince Huai were lying on the same bed, their clothes intact... Both of them were unconscious."
Ruan Yiyu was stunned. Ling Xueyao's problem hadn't been resolved yet, and Ling Xuehui was in trouble again. This...
"Your Majesty, it must be Ling Chan. She must be the one plotting against Yao'er and Hui'er. Please, Your Majesty, take charge of this for us."
Xiao Heng rolled his eyes at her and turned to the palace attendant, "Go and call the imperial physician."
The imperial physician arrived soon and gave Xiao Yi, Ling Xueyao, Ling Xuehui and Zeng Hongbao acupuncture and applied incense, finally making them all wake up.
When Xiao Yi knew what happened, his face turned pale.
Ling Xueyao looked at Xiao Yi with resentment, while Ling Xuehui lowered her head with no expression on her face.
As for Zeng Hongbao, he kept his head down as his father Zeng Fu stared at him.
"Royal brother, someone has drugged me." Xiao Yi said in an unhappy tone, complaining to Xiao Heng.
The imperial physician also confirmed Xiao Yi's words.
"Your Majesty, Prince Huai and the two young ladies of the Ling family were indeed drugged by the same drug. As for Young Master Zeng... he just drank too much." said the imperial physician.
Zeng Fu's face turned pale, and he was truly disappointed in his friend.
After hearing the imperial physician's words, Ruan Yiyu rushed forward again, "Your Majesty, it must be Ling Chan who drugged them."
"The Empress has arrived, and Princess Wanyue has arrived."
The Queen led Ling Chan into the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Ling Chan had changed her clothes. She looked around in confusion, as if she didn't understand the situation.
Xiao Heng stood up and helped the queen sit down. "Why are you here?"
The Queen saw someone bring another chair and then sat down. "Your Majesty, I heard that something happened in Chunhua Palace and someone slandered Princess Wanyue. I came here to be a witness."
