It's Hongshi!
Hongshi is inside, and Hongshi is being scolded!
Immediately, Shan Xiu was extremely anxious and tried to rush into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but the young eunuch guarding the gate quickly stopped her: "Your Highness Consort Hua, the Third Prince is inside..."
"Get out of my way!" Shan Xiu shoved the eunuch aside with disgust and even kicked him. "I'm going in!"
The little eunuch couldn't stop her in time, and Shan Xiu pushed open the door to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and hurriedly went to Hong Shi's side. It was Wan Xia who quickly grabbed her: "Master!"
The force of the sunset was so great that it stopped Shan Xiu in her tracks. Yinzhen frowned and looked over. Hongshi was also awakened by the sound. When he turned around and saw that it was her, he was so frightened that his face turned even more ashen.
"Your Majesty..." Shan Xiu wanted to ask why the Emperor was reprimanding Hongshi. Moreover, there were broken cups and saucers on the ground. What had Hongshi done to deserve such anger?
"How did you get in here, Xiao Quanzi?" Yinzhen said angrily.
Xiao Quanzi, holding his hat, limped in and knelt down to kowtow, not daring to utter a word in his defense. Su Peisheng, quick-witted and feeling sorry for his young apprentice, hurriedly said, "What have you done? Why are you covered in dirt?"
"This servant...this servant accidentally tripped and fell...and couldn't stop Consort Hua..." Xiao Quanzi bumped his forehead several times and broke it.
"Look at you! Get down here and reflect on your actions!" Su Peisheng blurted out, still feeling uneasy, but seeing that Yinzhen didn't seem displeased, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Quanzi kowtowed again and then staggered as he ran out. Yinzhen's gaze had already shifted to Shan Xiu, and he said impatiently, "This is none of your business. Go back."
"Your Majesty!" Shan Xiu was pulled by Wanxia, but still wanted to plead for Hongshi—not for Nian Gengyao.
Hongshi also wanted Shanxiu to go back quickly. He didn't want Shanxiu to know that he had been scolded by Yinzhen, and he was even more afraid that Yinzhen would find out about the things between him and Shanxiu.
He was extremely guilty, and his back was covered in a thick layer of sweat. He had been having an affair with Shan Xiu for so long, and at first he felt a bit excited and scared, afraid of being discovered, but now he was much more used to it, and even the excitement was almost gone.
At this moment, Hiroshi began to deeply regret his actions.
What was he after? There are so many young and fresh women, so many beautiful women. Was he blinded by greed, that he actually slept with his own father's woman?
Hongshi almost fainted. He felt the world in front of him was becoming unreal, and he lost all feeling in his hands and feet.
But that damned woman behind me still won't leave!
Evening Glow was already pulling the curtains outside, but she stubbornly refused to go out, saying, "What is Your Majesty doing..."
"Why should I need to interfere with what I do? Get back!" Yinzhen was already in a bad mood, and Shan Xiu was being so tactless. He didn't want to give her any face at all. "Wanxia!"
"Yes!" Evening Glow didn't care anymore. She pulled Shan Xiu sharply and then practically held her captive as she walked out.
Shan Xiu struggled to turn back and save Hongshi, but didn't know what she could do. Yinzhen continued to scold Hongshi: "Look at the state you're in! I thought you had reformed, but you've gone out to fool around again!"
“Father…” Hongshi murmured, unsure of what to say.
Seeing his pathetic state only fueled Yinzhen's anger: "A prince of such high status, how can you frequent those brothels and pleasure quarters! Aren't you ashamed? I'm embarrassed for you!"
Shan Xiu, who had just stepped out of the palace gate, paused. The next moment, she turned back to look at Hong Shi in disbelief, muttering, "What, what brothels?"
"Master! Let's go!" Wanxia simply grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her back.
Fortunately, Shan Xiu became mentally disoriented afterward and no longer had the strength to resist the sunset.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Hongshi... Hongshi went to a place like that?
He actually likes going to those kinds of places?
Shan Xiu couldn't believe it, but... the Emperor couldn't have gotten so angry out of nowhere, could he?
Hongshi... is he really that kind of person?
Dan Xiu's eyes filled with tears, and she felt as if a piece of her heart had been forcibly ripped out.
No, no, it can't be! This must be fake!
Hongshi has a primary wife, a secondary wife, a princess, and that imposter, and he also has himself! He once said that with himself, he is completely satisfied and asks for nothing more!
Why, why did he go...?
Impossible, this is impossible...
As soon as she entered the gate of Chengqian Palace, Shan Xiu suddenly jolted, shook off Wanxia's hand, and ran back like a madwoman.
"Master!" Shan Xiu had been so well-behaved on the way, and Wanxia hadn't expected her to suddenly act like this. She stamped her foot anxiously, cried out "Oh dear!" and chased after her.
Shan Xiu was now preoccupied with asking Hong Shi what was going on, why he went to that kind of place, wasn't she enough? Wasn't she good enough?
She gave him everything, how could he treat her like this...?
Just a few days ago, she asked him expectantly when he would come again, but he said he was away from the palace recently. Is that all he cares about? Why would he rather go to those women than come to see her?
Why?
Why?
Dan Xiu ran incredibly fast, her hair disheveled, like a madwoman. She even tripped and fell, rolling in the dirt, her cheongsam wrinkled, but she didn't care. She only wanted to find Hong Shi; she had to find Hong Shi—
Perhaps by divine intervention, a high-ranking official from Yinzhen's side requested an audience, and Hongshi was finally released. He was extremely agitated and didn't want to go back to see his wife's bitter face, so he decided to take a walk in the Imperial Garden. Who knew that, by sheer coincidence, a figure running madly in the distance looked somewhat familiar—it was someone he had just seen…
"Go and stop that man for me!" Hongshi's eyelids twitched; he knew it! That crazy woman had heard him!
Following their master's instructions, Jinzhong and Jinbao pulled the disheveled woman over—they hadn't dared to look directly at their master and didn't recognize her at first.
Hongshi grabbed Shanxiu's arm and pulled her aside, hissing angrily in a low voice, "What are you doing!"
“Hongshi, Hongshi…” Shan Xiu stared blankly at him, tears streaming down her face, “Please, please don’t leave me…”
“You…” Hongshi frowned deeply, looking at the woman before him with disbelief. “Do you even know who you are? Hmm? Making a scene in the Imperial Garden? Consort Hua?”
"No, no..." Shan Xiu cried, grabbing Hong Shi's hand. "I'm Xiu Xiu, I'm your Xiu Xiu... You can't do this to me. You took my body, why did you go to that kind of place... Is there something wrong with me? I can change, please don't... please don't stop coming to me..."
"What Xiuxiu..." Hongshi impatiently shook her off, "She's not a virgin, what's wrong with sleeping with her? Wake up..."
"I am! I am!" Shan Xiu cried even harder, "I'm a virgin! I've never been one!"
