The woman's affair
She smiled faintly, concealing her dislike.
"Why has the prince consort come?"
"The palace maid in the princess's room told me that the princess was not here. I happened to come to the garden to relax, but I didn't expect the princess to be with my senior sister," Rong Yan said, feigning nonchalance.
The princess wasn't sure how much he had overheard, so she probed indirectly, "When did the prince consort arrive? Why isn't he accompanied by any guards?"
"It's inconvenient for the guards to accompany you. I entered the garden and heard the commotion, so I came looking for you. I apologize for disturbing you, Senior Sister and the Princess." He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and offered a slight apology.
"What's the big deal? It was just a private conversation between me and the fairy. The prince consort didn't hear it, did he?" I was still worried, so I pressed him for an answer.
"I didn't hear anything, Princess, please rest assured."
"It's good you didn't hear it. It wasn't anything nice, and you men can't stand to hear it," the princess said awkwardly, covering her mouth.
The group left the garden without saying a word. The princess, who had been forcibly interrupted by Rong Yan, paused under the eaves before leaving.
"Fairy, what I said..."
"Princess, please convey this message: I am now the Crown Princess of the Li Dynasty, the future Empress of the Crown Prince. I will pretend not to know these words today, but it is hard to guarantee that no one with ulterior motives will spread rumors. Some people are not people that anyone can covet or dream of."
After Lin Yueyao finished speaking, the princess was extremely embarrassed and her steps became unsteady. Rong Yan only glanced at her, and the princess fled as if she were escaping.
Her steps were so quick that the tassels at her temples jingled. Rong Yan glanced at her briefly but did not follow.
Lin Yueyao stood under the corridor, indifferent and unmoved; the princess was just a stranger to her.
"Senior Sister." Now, Rong Yan couldn't understand how she could remain unmoved even when faced with the princess's declaration of love.
Could it be that she truly fell in love with the Crown Prince? And when exactly?
"What do you want to say?" Lin Yueyao looked up at him, her gaze no different from that she had when looking at a princess.
This shouldn't be happening; my senior sister wouldn't look at him so coldly.
"I..." He had nothing to say, and even lost the courage to speak fluently.
"Aren't you going to appease your princess?" Lin Yueyao raised an eyebrow and asked.
He didn't care about that kind of person at all. Rong Yan said sarcastically, "She has feelings for my senior sister that she shouldn't have. Let her cry."
A woman is nothing to fear.
As for the Crown Prince, Rong Yan's sarcastic expression gradually turned into a frown. "Senior Sister, what's so good about that Crown Prince?"
Why go to such lengths to marry this man?
"He's just a commoner, I'll marry him if I want to." After she finished speaking, she left him with a dashing back view.
Enraged, he stormed into the Crown Prince's residence with a stiff face.
There were only a pair of patrolling guards and a palace maid on duty in the palace. Because of his ancestor's status and the fact that he was about to become the prince consort, he entered the palace without any hindrance.
What is it about the Crown Prince that makes my senior sister so determined to marry him?
The only thing known is that she is a demon, but even if she is a demon, why doesn't my senior sister get rid of her as soon as possible, instead of marrying her off?
Could this demon be someone special?
No matter what, he had to find out the Crown Prince's identity and background.
Benben is on good terms with the Crown Prince and they play together all the time. He is not in the palace at the moment.
This gave Rong Yan the opportunity to search the palace, turning the entire bedchamber upside down.
Having gained nothing, Rong Yan was frustrated and looked at the chests and cabinets scattered all over the ground, filled with countless gold and silver treasures.
After carefully shaking it off, some pink pills fell to the ground with a crackling sound, rolling all over the place.
I picked one up, gently rubbed it, and crushed it into powder.
When you bring it close to your nose and smell it, your blood rushes to your head, and you feel dizzy.
Rong Yan immediately let go, picked up the silk from the ground, and wiped his hands clean.
At this moment, he stepped into the prince's palace and gently picked up the pills that had fallen all over the floor.
"This is an aphrodisiac." Shangguan Zhi looked at the object so close to her and said lightly, "In our Qingqiu, this thing is not considered anything good."
"It seems the Crown Prince intends to trick Fairy Qinglian into eating him on their wedding night," Shangguan Zhi deliberately guided him in that direction.
"It's extremely potent; once you get your hands on it, you'll immediately lose consciousness."
"Why would he do that?" Rong Yan asked coldly.
"Who knows?" Shangguan Zhi didn't know the true face of the fake crown prince, but she vaguely knew that the crown prince in front of her seemed to have some unknown secrets.
The Crown Prince was particularly afraid of Lin Yueyao.
"The Crown Prince was afraid that Fairy Qinglian would refuse, so he resorted to this desperate measure." Shangguan Zhi flicked her wrist, and the powder vanished in the wind.
"No," Rong Yan replied firmly.
"Won't you?" Shangguan Zhi covered her mouth and smiled. "Little brother is so confident. If the Crown Prince truly loves Fairy Qinglian, why would he resort to such despicable means?"
"Moreover, this aphrodisiac was refined by evil cultivators using women's yin essence to improve their cultivation. It is an erotic substance. Aren't you afraid that Fairy Qinglian might be in danger, little brother?"
He was certainly afraid, but he didn't understand what his senior sister wanted to do, even if the crown prince's identity was unpredictable.
"What can I do? My senior sister is angry with me. Even if I kneel down, she won't turn back." Rong Yan clutched his head and curled up on the ground in anguish.
Suddenly, he looked up sharply, his killing intent palpable, "Kill the Crown Prince."
In this way, the senior sister will be safe and spared from having to submit to the crown prince.
"Please don't!" she hurriedly stopped her. "The Crown Prince's identity is suspicious, even I don't know it. Fairy Qinglian must have her reasons for doing this."
"Then what should I do?" Rong Yan looked at her almost pleadingly.
Shangguan Zhi smiled and said, "As long as you don't alert the enemy, little brother, feel free to do it. After all, Fairy Qinglian is your senior sister and the person you respect the most."
These words were like a wake-up call; he picked up the scattered pills from the ground.
Senior sister usually dislikes people who flirt with other women, so she especially hates Shangguan Zhi.
“A man who can’t even preserve his own chastity is worse than a piece of trash.” Rong Yan’s gaze vacant, his eyes suddenly turning cold.
In the evening, after playing with Benben all day, the Crown Prince was carried back by palace servants.
Feeling a bit hungry, the palace servants tactfully brought out some food.
The prince's diet was always light and bland, but later, for some reason, he started eating raw meat and drinking blood, and developed a fondness for pig's blood.
They need to eat every three to five days, and the kitchen prepares it from morning till night, just in case the Crown Prince orders a meal at a certain moment.
Fresh pig's blood and tofu were served, and the prince, disregarding all decorum, began to devour them, completely unaware that someone had added condiments.
After finishing a large bowl of blood-infused tofu, the prince's lips turned completely red.
Towards the end of the meal, he felt hot. After taking a bath, the effects of the medicine kicked in, and in his dazed state, a woman groped her way onto the bed.
A passionate night together.
The next morning, cries were heard coming from the Crown Prince's palace. The palace servants hid outside the palace gates, and no one dared to go forward.
Only a few guards were holding him back. The crown prince was naked, hiding under the covers, while the woman he had defiled was putting a white silk ribbon around her neck.
Seeing that the incident had escalated, the princess and her husband were notified.
Lin Yueyao was the last to find out.
She stood outside the palace gate, and Rong Yan blocked her way, saying with concern, "Senior Sister, you'd better not go, lest you hurt her feelings."
The more he said that, the more determined Lin Yueyao became to take the plunge.
Knowing her temperament, Rong Yan's voice was filled with tension and excited anticipation. His heart was pounding and his voice was trembling as he said, "Senior sister, you must hold on."
Outside the palace, the palace maids lined up in two rows, and when they saw her appear, they made way for her.
She was not yet the rightful Crown Princess, so the palace maids did not bow to her, but instead said in a respectful manner, "Fairy, His Highness did not mean it, please do not take offense."
"Get out of the way," she said.
The palace maids made way for the doors of the sleeping quarters.
The door was open. Ascending the stone steps, one could see a woman in the center of the hall, her clothes disheveled and her body covered in bruises, clearly having been bullied.
The woman, in a desperate attempt to kill herself, stepped onto the stool, hung her head on the white silk ribbon, and with a kick of her legs, swung straight into the air.
The prince was so frightened that he immediately covered his eyes and dared not look again.
Lin Yueyao reacted quickly, throwing Wenqing out. Wenqing spun once in the air, cut the white silk ribbon, and put it back into the sword sheath.
The suffocating feeling around her neck disappeared, and with no support point left to suspend her, the woman landed suddenly with a thud.
An extremely heavy, muffled sound.
The woman fell to the ground. Her clothes were already thin, and the fall tore them open, revealing most of her underwear.
His body was covered in bruises from sucking.
"You all go out first."
The guards took their leave. The princess found an outer garment from somewhere and covered the woman with it.
The woman wept bitterly, crying, "I don't want to live anymore..."
The princess glanced at Lin Yueyao with pity, and seeing that the other party remained unmoved, she lost all patience with her brother's timid and cowardly appearance.
"Your Majesty is foolish."
The prince hid under the covers, feeling stuffy and hot, and broke out in a sweat.
Benben ran in at the most inopportune moment, "What is everyone busy with? Where is Brother Crown Prince?" If he's not here to play with him, where is he hiding?
Rong Yan blindfolded him, "Silly boy, there are freshly made snacks in the kitchen, why don't you go and eat them?"
As soon as he heard there was something delicious, Benben immediately took off running.
"Yay!"
Lin Yueyao rose gracefully, walked past the woman to the Crown Prince's bedside, and forcefully pulled back the covers. Revealing the Crown Prince's damp face and naked body, Lin Yueyao frowned. "Is this what the Crown Prince has done?"
She pointed at the woman on the ground, tilted her head, and questioned her.
The prince couldn't recall what had happened the night before, only remembering that someone had slept beside him.
But there were indeed traces of sexual activity on her body.
The princess turned her back, and Rong Yan stepped forward, gently pulling Lin Yueyao aside to block her view.
"Put your clothes on first," he said.
The prince obeyed and dressed in a daze. As soon as the woman saw him, she went crazy and started grabbing and scratching him.
"What are you doing?!" the crown prince exclaimed in surprise.
"You ruined my reputation, I'll make you pay with your life!" They started tearing at each other.
"Although I know you're exaggerating, I didn't mean to. I don't remember what happened at all," the prince said innocently.
His nonsensical explanation only intensified the woman's distress. In her struggle, she pulled the gold hairpin from the princess's head and stabbed it into her neck.
With a sizzling sound, blood splattered, but fortunately, the group reacted quickly and used their spiritual energy talismans to subdue him.
"Isn't it chaotic enough?" Lin Yueyao glared coldly at the Crown Prince.
It took everyone a lot of effort to calm the woman down, and then the guards and experienced women from the palace took her away to have her body examined.
The atmosphere eased somewhat, and Rong Yan, in front of everyone, said to Lin Yueyao as if no one else was there, "Now that you know the Crown Prince's character, Senior Sister, please reconsider your marriage."
