Seeing the locked door, the pink-clad palace maid breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the person inside had not escaped. Just as the pink-clad palace maid was about to push the door open, she suddenly felt a chill behind her.
Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly felt a sharp pain all over her body and then fainted. The man reacted a moment too slowly, and before he could even scream, Qu Qingxi opened the door, grabbed him by the collar, and threw him inside, followed by the pink-clad palace maid.
You like it this way, right? Then let you experience it for yourselves and have a blast.
After doing all this, Qu Qingxi clapped her hands and turned to leave.
She had only taken two steps when she heard the sound of clothes tearing inside. Qu Qingxi did not stop and continued walking forward. If she knew nothing today, she would be the one to suffer. Qu Qingxi was not a kind person. She would repay others for how they treated her.
I wonder if the Empress will still be able to laugh when she finds out that, through her arrangements, the Prime Minister's most beloved daughter has been defiled by an unknown man.
Qu Qingxi's face was cold as she walked through the Imperial Garden. Suddenly, she heard footsteps ahead. Qu Qingxi looked up and saw He Liufeng looking anxious.
Although he knew that Qu Qingxi was capable of handling certain situations, He Liufeng still breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qu Qingxi standing safely in front of him.
"Are you alright?" He Liufeng noticed that Qu Qingxi's complexion was a little off. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Qu Qingxi shook her head. She had already resolved the matter herself, and there was no need to say anything more to He Liufeng.
"You haven't changed your clothes?" He Liufeng noticed that Qu Qingxi was still wearing the same clothes as before, except that the water stains on the hem of her skirt had dried.
"Well, that palace maid was suddenly called away, so I didn't change her. Then I got a little lost, which is why I came back a bit late," Qu Qingxi explained simply.
"Alright, then forget it. We'll just go back later, no need to change here." Seeing that Qu Qingxi's expression was strange, He Liufeng didn't ask anything more and led Qu Qingxi towards the banquet.
As soon as the two stepped out of the Imperial Garden, they saw the Empress leading a group of people hurriedly heading this way.
The Empress, accompanied by her personal maid, walked at the front. When she saw Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng appear together, she paused slightly, a strange expression flashing across her face.
He Liufeng and Qu Qingxi walked towards them, and of course they did not miss the strange look on the Empress's face.
"Royal sister-in-law, where are you going?" He Liufeng asked softly, but his eyes held a hint of coldness.
When the Empress saw that Qu Qingxi's clothes were neat and tidy, she knew that today's plan had not succeeded. However, seeing that He Liufeng's expression was normal, she assumed that he had not discovered the matter.
"So it's the Prince and Princess. Didn't the palace maid just take the Princess to change her clothes? It seems like the Princess's clothes haven't been changed." The Empress didn't answer He Liufeng's question, but looked at Qu Qingxi instead.
"Your Majesty, the palace maid was leading me to change clothes, but on the way, she was called away by a palace maid in pink. She hasn't returned yet. I stood there for a while, and for a moment I couldn't remember the way back to the banquet. I was a little lost. Luckily, I just ran into the Prince who came looking for me." Qu Qingxi smiled gently and turned to look at He Liufeng.
"I see. After the banquet ends, I will definitely find out which palace maid was responsible and punish her severely. She is so ignorant of the rules." The Empress smiled gently.
"By the way, what is Her Majesty the Empress doing here so late at night with so many people?" Qu Qingxi asked casually, her eyes crinkling.
"This..." The Empress's eyes darted away, and the other ladies glanced at Qu Qingxi, then looked at each other without saying a word.
He Liufeng turned to the little eunuch beside him, his voice sharp, "Speak, what happened?"
The eunuch glanced at the empress subconsciously, then lowered his head and remained silent.
"What, my words no longer carry any weight? Should I summon the Emperor and have him question you personally?" He Liufeng asked, his eyes narrowed, his voice icy.
The young eunuch was immediately frightened and knelt down. "Your Highness, a palace maid just came and said that something happened in Wanshuang Palace and that Her Majesty the Empress needs to go and deal with it."
"That's it? Anything else?" He Liufeng's eyes sharpened as he stared at the little eunuch on the ground and continued to speak.
"And also, the palace maid said that just now, while the princess was changing clothes in the Evening Frost Palace, a strange, drunk man barged in, so..."
The eunuch didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant. So when the empress heard about this, she brought everyone over to see the spectacle and the fun.
"Your Majesty's sister-in-law is truly skilled at disciplining your children." He Liufeng glanced at the Empress with a half-smile.
"Your Highness is joking." The Empress never expected that Green Lotus would mess things up and even cause Qu Qingxi to run away.
“In that case, let’s all go to the Evening Frost Palace to take a look, so that no one will misunderstand anything.” He Liufeng took Qu Qingxi’s hand and looked at the little eunuch, “Why don’t you lead the way?”
The young eunuch hurriedly stood up, bowing low, and was about to lead the way when the Empress stopped him, saying, "Never mind, since the Princess is alright, the palace maid must have just misunderstood something."
“Sister-in-law, it would be better if we went to take a look. After all, everyone heard what the maid who brought the message said. If you don’t take us to see the actual situation, people might talk nonsense outside, which could affect Qingxi’s reputation.” Although He Liufeng had a gentle smile on his face, his words were full of unquestionable authority.
"Since Your Highness insists so much, then let's go and see." Seeing He Liufeng's determination, the Empress dared not say anything more, lest He Liufeng become suspicious of her. She hoped that nothing had happened over there.
The other ladies glanced at He Liufeng and then at the Empress, and understood what was going on. They had only come to watch the spectacle.
The group quickly arrived at the entrance of Wanshuang Palace. Seeing the gate bolted from the outside, the Empress breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems there's nothing..."
Before the Empress could finish speaking, He Liufeng suddenly pointed at the eunuch from before and said, "You, go and open it."
Forced by He Liufeng's status, the eunuch had no choice but to step forward and open the gate.
The moment the door opened, the scene inside was completely exposed to everyone's eyes: three women were lying on the ground with barely any clothes on, and a naked man was on top of one of the women, writhing incessantly.
He Liufeng instantly covered Qu Qingxi's eyes with his hand, then turned his head away to look elsewhere.
The Empress also turned her head, not wanting to see the filth inside. The group of ladies gasped and then pointed and whispered inside.
