"Who is so bold as to have an affair in the West Wing of the South Palace?"
"The South Palace was the former Queen's residence. The Emperor has already forbidden anyone from entering the South Palace. How could someone dare to take such a risk and have an affair here?"
"Queen Mother, if there really is someone having an affair, we must not let those two go!"
"Yes, such adulterers and adulterers must not be tolerated!"
“…”
The women were speaking passionately when suddenly one of them asked, "Huh? Why is there a person lying here?"
"Xiao Huan, come over and see who that person is."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
The palace maid named Xiaohuan took a few steps forward and quickly checked the unconscious person lying on the ground. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was Yueji, the maid who often followed Yun Zheng.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, this person is Yueji, the maid of Miss Yun Zheng from Prince Yun's Mansion!" Xiaohuan stood up and answered.
Upon hearing this, Princess Chao An blurted out, "Could it be that Yun Zheng was the one having an affair?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent for a moment, and the Queen Mother's face turned ugly and gloomy.
Su Rong was in the middle of the crowd, with a vicious look in his eyes. Yun Zheng, you should live in the mud, don't try to struggle up!
The Queen Mother said coldly, "Go, open the door! I want to see who is so bold as to have an affair in the South Palace!"
The guards standing on both sides of the Queen Mother heard this and immediately responded, then stepped forward to open the door, but -
“Ahhh…”
There were terrible screams coming from the west wing, and not only that, but also faint flames could be seen.
The Queen Mother's heart tightened, and she immediately ordered someone to open the west wing.
The door was opened, revealing a fat man covered in flames. The fat man's facial features made him recognizable to all the female relatives.
This is the fifth prince Chu Yunrui!
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Someone shouted, and the guards gathered their spiritual power and waved it towards the fifth prince Chu Yunrui, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
However, this flame was very strange and could not be extinguished at all!
Instead, the Fifth Prince Chu Yunrui was injured even more seriously!
Suddenly, a fire broke out in the south wing, raging fiercely.
"Someone, there's a fire in the south wing of the South Palace!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
For a while, there was chaos and war.
The person lying on the ground was replaced by another one without anyone noticing.
When the Queen Mother saw this chaotic scene, she was so angry that she felt suffocated and almost couldn't breathe.
While Chu Yunrui was being burned by the flames, he was also being indulged in the intoxicating fragrance, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused.
He seemed to be kissing that familiar and beautiful face and doing some intimate things in his dream.
Chu Yunrui hummed with a mixture of pain and pleasure, and surprisingly called out someone's name: "Sister Su...Sister Su Rong, it feels so good..."
"Sister Su Rong, you are too enthusiastic, don't be like this..."
Then, his arm was burned, and the burning pain woke him up. He rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames.
Because Chu Yunrui spoke quite loudly, and because most of the people present had some level of cultivation, they could hear it very clearly!
It turns out that the person who was having an affair with the fifth prince Chu Yunrui in the west wing of the South Palace was Su Rong, the eldest daughter of the Su family!
But wasn't she having an ambiguous relationship with the Third Prince?!
Could it be that Su Rong is two-timing?
Almost everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Su Rong, and the expressions they looked at her were all disgust, contempt, and gloating.
Su Rong was also confused.
She opened her mouth to explain, "It wasn't me. I came here with you. How could I possibly be hanging out with the Fifth Prince?"
Most people looked incredulous.
Su Rong panicked and continued to defend herself, "It really wasn't me! Yun Zheng's maid is here. The one who was hanging out with the Fifth Prince must be Yun Zheng!"
Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice sounded from behind everyone: "Who is calling me?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman dressed in a flaming red dress in the night standing at the gate of the South Palace, with her maid Yueji following behind her.
The woman's fair and delicate fingertips fiddled with a slender pen, giving people a lazy and careless feeling.
"Who is calling me?" Yun Zheng put the brush behind her back and repeated it again.
Su Rong's face froze. Why did that bitch Yun Zheng come in from outside...
A woman who usually disliked Su Rong sneered and said, "Miss Su just said that you and the Fifth Prince were having an affair in the West Wing."
Su Rong's expression turned even uglier. What was going on? How could her plan go wrong?
Su Rong's mind raced, and suddenly her gaze fixed on the invisible Yue Ji. She shouted, "Your maid was lying there just now!"
Yueji retorted angrily, "Nonsense, I have always been with the young lady and have never been anywhere else."
Su Rong had a look of confidence on his face. He raised his hand and pointed to where the man had been lying. "If you don't believe me, just look..."
When Su Rong saw the maid lying on the ground still motionless, the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
Everyone was also a little surprised, because the Empress Dowager's maid Xiaohuan clearly said that the person was Yun Zheng's maid, so how come there seemed to be another person now...
Seeing this, the Queen Mother glanced at Xiao Huan beside her with a cold look and asked, "What's going on?"
"Plop—"
Xiaohuan knelt down in panic, and when she was about to speak, an invisible line pierced into the nerves in her head.
Xiaohuan lowered her head, and the light in her eyes dimmed instantly. No one noticed that she was in a daze at the moment.
"I'm sorry, Queen Mother. I was bewildered and accepted benefits from Miss Su Rong. Then, following her instructions, I said the unconscious person on the ground was Yun Zheng's maid. In fact, I don't even know what Yun Zheng's maid looks like. I don't know anything else..."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother glanced at Su Rong with a sharp look that showed the passage of time.
Su Rong was shocked.
"Come here, execute Xiaohuan immediately, and arrest Su Rong and put her in the dungeon!" The Queen Mother said each word in a sonorous and powerful voice.
The Queen Mother hated most anyone who misbehaved in her territory.
Even the juniors she favors!
In this world, the strong are respected, but in small countries like the Great Chu State, power is still relatively large!
The three major cultivation families of the Great Chu State are still inferior to the royal family!
However, in medium-class, upper-class, and super-class countries, there are many more geniuses in the cultivation families, so they can compete with them, or even surpass them.
The Queen Mother expelled them personally, saying, "All of you, go back!"
The female members of the family could not stay any longer and went home one after another.
Yun Zheng glanced at Chu Yunrui who was being rescued by several guards, curled her lips, and slightly turned the brush between her two fingers.
The flames on Chu Yunrui's body dimmed instantly.
Yun Zheng thought that the fifth prince Chu Yunrui had never communicated with her before and had never bullied her, so she should let him go this time.
After Yun Zheng and Yue Ji walked out of the South Hall, the long-awaited Eunuch Chen came forward and said with a smile, "Miss Yun, the Emperor invites you."
