But given his status, many women would actively try to get close to him, since this would give them the chance to become the woman of the Chief of the Kheshig and live a life free from want.
At the signal of the King of Beili, the physician took the paper package from Zekun's hand, examined it, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the aphrodisiac that Princess Qin was given."
Wei Yinshuang was stunned; she never expected things to turn out this way.
The physician did confirm that she had been drugged, but this would mean that she had taken the drug to enhance the pleasure with Ze Kun during their encounter, rather than that someone had framed her beforehand.
They both took aphrodisiacs, but these are completely different things!
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, it's not like that..." Wei Yingshuang wanted to explain something, but a cold, curved blade was placed against her neck.
The Prince Qin, holding a curved sword, looked at Wei Yingshuang as if she were already dead. "Wei Yingshuang, you are showing no respect for me."
Wei Yingshuang was so frightened that she dared not move, and tears streamed down her face.
"Your Highness...I...I didn't..."
“Your Highness, Princess Fengxi is a princess of the Great Chu. She has only just arrived in Beili and has been temporarily bewitched. If we really kill her, it will be difficult to explain to the Great Chu. It would be better to spare her life for now,” Lin Wanqing said.
Wanyan Daye also felt that Lin Wanqing's words made sense. "Uncle, it's just a woman. If you don't like her, just leave her there and do whatever you want with her. Just keep her alive."
Upon hearing this, the Prince Qin pondered for a moment, then sheathed his scimitar. "Guards, take the Princess back to the manor!"
Two maids immediately came in and helped Wei Yinshuang out.
"Ze Kun, go and receive fifty lashes!" said the King of Bei Li.
"I accept the order!" Ze Kun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
When Qin Wang and Wei Yinshuang arrived at the palace, Ze Kun was on patrol and did not see Wei Yinshuang. This happened when he returned.
It could be said that ignorance is no excuse.
Fifty lashes were enough to kill him, and this was also a way to give the loyalist an explanation.
On the carriage back to Prince Qin's residence, Wei Yingshuang trembled all the while. Although Prince Qin had spared her life in the palace, she didn't know what awaited her back at the residence.
Suddenly, Wei Yinshuang seemed to remember something, glared fiercely at Qingyun who had been silent the whole time, and slapped her across the face.
Qingyun was caught completely off guard and was hit squarely.
"It's all your fault! I told you to call Qin Wang over, why did it take so long? You did it on purpose, didn't you? You did it on purpose!" Wei Yingshuang rushed over and frantically tore at and punched Qingyun.
Qingyun protected her face, letting Wei Yingshuang tear at it.
Wei Yinshuang, who was on the verge of madness, did not notice that Qingyun's eyes were full of pleasure.
Yes, she did it on purpose!
When Lin Wanqing stopped Qingyun, who was about to call for the emperor's help, she said, "Qingyun, as long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely let you return to your cousin's side."
Lin Wanqing saved Qingyun from abdominal pain and used this as an opportunity to enter the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Initially, the two had a fairly good personal relationship.
Qingyun once told Lin Wanqing that she had a childhood sweetheart cousin who had been waiting for her.
Once she has saved enough money, she will ask the princess to redeem her indenture and return to her hometown to live a peaceful life with her cousin.
At that time, she thought that if she served the princess well, the princess would surely let her go.
Before coming to Bei Li, Wei Yingshuang had promised Qingyun that as long as she stayed in Bei Li for a full year and helped her gain a foothold there, she would have someone send her back to Da Chu to marry her cousin and give her a sum of money as a dowry.
Unexpectedly, in order to protect herself, Wei Yinshuang devised a plan to push herself to the Prince Qin, so that she could suffer humiliation in her place.
At this moment, Qingyun knew that Wei Yingshuang would never fulfill her promise.
Why not take a gamble and choose to believe Lin Wanqing?
