Chapter 134 It's really a chain reaction, the Hongmen Banquet

Chu Li stood there in a daze, subconsciously looking at Ruan Qinghuan, thinking she would be angry and disappointed, but she turned around calmly and asked, "What happened to the Prime Minister and the maid?"

The servants were horrified: "The Prime Minister and the maid were in the room...doing something shameless."

"How dare you slander the prime minister of this dynasty." After saying that, she knelt down in front of the prince and said, "Your Highness, I beg you to arrest this man. If what he said is not true, then there must be something hidden. Please make the decision, Your Highness."

Prince: "Come here, arrest this man."

Prince Chen frowned: "He An must have drunk too much today and lost his composure. It is understandable that Madam is angry."

"My Lord, since the incident happened in the palace, why don't we go over there and take a look?" After saying that, she turned to the people in the room and said, "Please everyone bear witness for me. If my husband really did something wrong, as the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am willing to take him into the palace, and I will also give an explanation to King Chen."

These words hit the mark exactly what King Chen was thinking.

But he couldn't show his pride on his face: "What are you talking about, Madam? Prime Minister He was drunk and made a mistake, but that maid didn't know what was good for her. How could she tarnish the Prime Minister's reputation?"

"Don't worry, Madam. I will take care of this person."

Ruan Qinghuan: "I appreciate the good intentions of the King of Chen. Why should a woman embarrass another woman? If this is really done, the Prime Minister will never shirk his responsibility."

Chu Li was anxious: "Sister-in-law, could it be that you...?"

Didn’t I tell him to keep an eye on Ji Lingchuan? How come he can’t even handle such a small matter?

**

The guest rooms in the inner courtyard of the palace were very quiet at this moment. A group of people were standing outside the courtyard, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Since the Crown Prince and Prince Chen had spoken, they had to come, but the Prime Minister's joke was not so pleasant to listen to.

The Crown Princess held Ruan Qinghuan's hand.

The prince's face was gloomy. He didn't believe that He'an would be so careless, but the confident look on Prince Chen's face showed that he had planned it all along.

Seeing the servant coming to the gatehouse, everyone took a breath.

The door was wide open, and Ruan Qinghuan ordered Xia Lian to go in with the servants of the palace.

Xia Lian was in a heavy mood, and every step she took was as heavy as a thousand pounds. If what happened today was confirmed, not only would the Madam lose face, but given her personality, she would probably think of divorcing the Master again.

The lady had said earlier that she would never share a husband with another woman.

Walking into the room and turning to look at the bed, Xia Lian's face wrinkled, and then she looked outside.

Seeing that she didn't say anything and looked a little strange, the Crown Princess winked at the maid beside her, and the maid went in.

But after looking in the direction of the bed, his expression was similar to Xia Lian's.

Crown Princess: "What's going on?"

"Replying to the Crown Princess, there is no Prime Minister in the room. There is only, only a bound woman."

The tied woman?

Everyone was confused. Although they were cautious, they were also very curious about the situation in the room.

There are many explanations for this tying up. It is also possible that the Prime Minister tied them up for convenience during the struggle?

Xia Lian shook her head towards Ruan Qinghuan, who loosened her grip on the handkerchief and said, "Help the man out."

"yes."

"Hey, hey, hey... just come out like this?"

“Not good.”

Some ladies whispered to each other, but were shut up by their husbands after just a few words.

When the person came out, everyone was a little confused. They saw that the maid was tied up with her clothes intact. It was Xia Lian and the Crown Princess's maid who pulled her out together.

Upon seeing this, Prince Chen glared at Princess Chen angrily.

Princess Chen did not expect this to happen. The servant clearly replied that the matter was done. Who would have thought it would be like this?

"Why is it so lively?"

When they heard the voice, they turned around and saw He An standing behind the crowd with a flushed face and a puzzled look on his face.

"I just returned to the front hall and found that no one was there. I asked people and found out that everyone was here. I don't know what the prince is doing, so I came to join in the fun."

After saying this, he met Ruan Qinghuan's slightly annoyed eyes and pulled his lips.

Ruan Qinghuan: "If my husband doesn't come again, I will take you a concubine."

"What did I do wrong to make you do this?" He An immediately looked panicked: "Madam, you can punish me or scold me, but you must not joke like this. I am panicked."

Everyone: “…”

It seems that the Prime Minister is really drunk.

Could it be that the Prime Minister, who is so high and mighty on ordinary days, has such a low status in the palace?

That's not right. Wasn't there a rumor that the Prime Minister was unwilling to marry the eldest daughter of the Ruan family?

Everyone was in a state of confusion. The Crown Princess suppressed her smile, while the Crown Prince shook his head helplessly.

Ruan Qinghuan didn't expect him to do this, and immediately felt a little embarrassed: "Okay, since there's nothing else, let's go home."

"How can I do that? In order to prove my innocence, I have to find a nanny to examine this woman. Otherwise, if rumors spread after today, wouldn't I be wrongly accused?"

"What if my wife gets angry and doesn't want me anymore? What should I do?"

Ruan Qinghuan: “…”

He really got into the role.

The Crown Princess said: "It just so happens that the Crown Prince's maid is here with me today. She is from the East Palace, so let her come."

After a while, the nanny walked out of the room and said, "My Lord, according to the Crown Princess, this girl is indeed a virgin."

"You bold slave, you must have seen the Prime Minister drunk and wanted to seduce him. You really have no sense of shame." Prince Chen was furious: "Come here, sell this slave."

Chu Li muttered, "Huh, what a show."

The Crown Princess held him back and said, "No matter how hard he tries, in the end, it will all be in vain, won't it?"

"My father always said that if one's intentions are not right, their plans will not last long." Chu Li looked around, looking for Ji Lingchuan.

Why is this guy so quiet today? The show is over and I haven't heard him come out to make a fuss.

After looking around and not finding Ji Lingchuan, Chu Li chased after him and asked, "Prime Minister, where did Ji Lingchuan go?"

Only then did Ruan Qinghuan realize that he had not seen Ji Lingchuan for a long time.

He An frowned: "I did meet him just now, but I don't know where he is now."

Ruan Qinghuan: "Where did you see him? Did he leave the palace first?"

He An shook his head: "I didn't say I wanted to leave early."

Chu Li was angry and asked him to watch over the prime minister and make sure he was not tricked by others, but he disappeared first.

The prince noticed something and looked at He'an inquiringly. Seeing that he looked upset, he guessed that Ji Lingchuan must have forced him to do something.

Normally, He'an would never cooperate with such matters. What happened today?

The Crown Princess: "General Ji may be back soon, don't worry, Li'er."

After saying this, the prince held her hand and said, "Let's go back to the hall first."

Crown Princess: "Li'er and I..."

Seeing the Crown Prince's meaningful look, the Crown Princess seemed to be thinking about something.

He An, who had already walked some distance, suddenly turned around, as if he suddenly thought of something: "Oh, right, after we separated, I saw him and a woman go to the bamboo house on the east side of the waterside."

Chu Li's eyes widened when he heard this: "Girl...?"

Chu Li bit her lip and said, “You are so good, Ji Lingchuan. I asked you to help the Prime Minister avoid the beauty trap, but you fell into it yourself.”

He was so angry that his eyes darkened and he turned around and ran towards the waterside pavilion of Prince Chen's mansion.

When the gentlemen saw this, they had different expressions. It turned out that today's banquet at Prince Chen's Mansion was indeed a series of conspiracy, a banquet at Hongmen.
