Nalan Yunzhi finally had dinner with the "Crown Lady" in the East Palace, and didn't return to the Qiongyu Palace with Ouyang Yuming and An Zihao until 2:15 PM. Before leaving, Nalan Yunzhi specifically told the "Crown Lady" to get a good rest, as tomorrow would be her first day at court.
…
At the hour of Hai, in the General’s Mansion in the east of the city, Yaoguang Courtyard.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
In the main room, Yu Jingyang, who was about to turn off the lights and go to bed without waiting for Feng Cailan, suddenly saw Feng Cailan walking in from the outside of the room with a little nervousness, carrying a whip on his back.
"Yang Bao, I...I'm here to apologize to you!"
Seeing that this powerful general actually called himself "I" in front of him and looked hesitant, Yu Jingyang's uneasiness suddenly emerged uncontrollably.
"Sir, what happened? Could it be that the Emperor forced my brother to enter the palace?"
Yu Jingyang thought about it and it seemed that only things related to Feng Lingyan could make Feng Cailan so worried.
"Yang Bao, I will find another way to deal with my brother's matter. What I want to tell you now is not this matter, but..."
"Sir, you and I are wife and husband. There is nothing we cannot face together. Just tell me what's the matter, and Jingyang will share the responsibility with you." Yu Jingyang removed the brambles behind Feng Cailan, leaned his head lightly on Feng Cailan's shoulder, and hugged her tightly.
"Yang Bao, I...I'm sorry!"
Feng Cailan reluctantly pushed away Yu Jingyang's embrace, picked up the bramble on the table and handed it to Yu Jingyang, then knelt down in front of him.
"Sir, this is not possible. Please get up quickly!" Feng Cailan's actions scared Yu Jingyang.
"Yang Bao, I, Feng Cailan, kneel before the heavens, the earth, the king, my mother and father. Today I beg Yang Bao to forgive me..."
Feng Cailan closed her eyes and said calmly, "I, I... I had physical contact with a prostitute in the Fufeng County government office..."
"A prostitute? Physical contact?"
Yu Jingyang was struck by lightning when he heard this. His hand holding Feng Cailan suddenly stopped, and tears began to fall. It turned out that the uneasiness he had been feeling in his heart was due to this...
"So, my lord, you want to take a concubine, right?"
Yu Jingyang let go of Feng Cailan's hand, but his eyes were long and tears were flashing in them. He looked at Feng Cailan with a hurt expression.
"Absolutely not!"
Feng Cailan stood up from the ground and wanted to hug Yu Jingyang, but he dodged her.
"It's normal for a woman to have three husbands and four concubines. What's more, your Excellency is a great general. I'm sorry that you have been wronged over the years." Yu Jingyang's face was a little gloomy and his tone was slightly cold.
"Yang Bao, listen to me. I was ambushed, drugged, and had my acupuncture points pressed. I, I..."
"Qi Yan and Qing Cheng all knew about this. I swear I had no choice. Believe me... Yang Bao..."
"Your Excellency, as an imperial envoy, has just returned home. You must be exhausted. You should rest early. Jingyang still has some accounts to check, so I will go to the next room to check the account books first. I won't disturb your rest!"
Yu Jingyang glanced at Feng Cailan with a complicated expression, then turned around and left the room without looking back, leaving Feng Cailan standing there like a wilted eggplant.
Jing Yang believed the general's words. However, it was impossible to say that he didn't feel disgusted or didn't mind. At least for now, he needed some time to digest this matter. After all, he really loved Feng Cailan...
