Chapter 175 Am I, Cao Chunxi, a soft persimmon?
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is meditating here. No one is allowed to disturb her!"
The guards at the door stopped Prince Ying and the others. Prince Ying shouted directly into the courtyard, "Young Master Wei wants to see Madam Wei. Madam Wei, please come out and talk."
Not long after he finished speaking, the door of the Zen temple was pushed open by a maid.
Princess Hengyang came out with Xiao Qinghe, followed by Chunxi.
Seeing Chunxi, Wei Lingze's eyes were about to spit fire. Shen Qingyu, who was hiding behind him, even shouted: "Cao Chunxi, why are you here?"
As soon as the words fell, the maid behind Princess Hengyang rushed over and slapped Shen Qingyu twice: "How dare you shout in front of the princess!"
Shen Qingyu had just been punched by King Ying, and now he was slapped twice. He even lost a tooth and his face was swollen.
He finally realized that the royal majesty could not be offended, and he shut up with a lot of anger.
Princess Hengyang didn't look at anyone else, only at Prince Ying. "Yunshan Temple is a place for meditation and spiritual purification. My royal brother has brought so many people to see me. If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I won't agree."
Princess Hengyang had a smile on her face, but her words were threatening.
She is your Majesty's sister, born of the same mother, and even Prince Ying has to keep a distance from her.
Prince Ying looked at Xiao Qinghe behind Princess Hengyang and said loudly, "Don't worry, my sister. I was disturbed by Young Master Wei for no reason, so I came here to confront Madam Wei and demand an explanation. Once the truth is revealed, it won't be too late for you to find the culprit and bring him to justice."
"Young Master Wei disturbed the Emperor, what does this have to do with Madam Wei?"
Princess Hengyang still didn't look at Wei Lingze, but only at Prince Ying. Wei Lingze spoke first, "Princess, I was lured here by a trap set up by someone. Please give me a few days, Princess and Prince. I will definitely find out the truth and give you an explanation!"
Wei Lingze suppressed his anger and lowered his posture.
He had thought a lot from the moment he discovered he had been tricked until now. The trap set by Chunxi was actually full of loopholes and not very sophisticated. If he had been calmer, he would never have been fooled. However, the sight of Xiao Yechen's back had shocked him too much, and he and He'er had quarreled too many times during this period. He didn't believe that He'er would always stand firmly by his side, so he lost his mind and fell into the trap.
As long as Prince Ying and Princess Hengyang don't delve into the matter further, things won't get too ugly.
Wei Lingze had already thought of how to apologize to the two, but Prince Ying didn't give him the chance. He sneered coldly, "When Young Master Wei barged in to catch the adulterer and injured my guards, why didn't you think of finding out the truth first?"
Prince Ying had no intention of giving Wei Lingze any face and directly made the matter public.
Wei Lingze clenched his fists and suddenly caught a glimpse of Lan Shu behind Prince Ying, smiling with her lips curled up.
He suddenly realized that Lan Shu and the others led him to Prince Ying's Zen temple not only because Prince Ying had a high status and could suppress him, but also because Prince Ying had a private habit of homosexuality. He disrupted Prince Ying's good deeds and let so many people see Prince Ying with people from Wuyou Pavilion. Prince Ying's self-esteem was hurt, so naturally he would not let him go easily.
Wuyou Pavilion, a dirty place that flaunts male beauty, why would it help Cao Chunxi to plot against him?
Wei Lingze couldn't figure it out and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
Because of Prince Ying's words, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Qinghe.
She was here to worship Buddha today, so she was dressed very simply, without any makeup on her face, but she looked even more elegant and refined. Standing in this solemn place, she had a kind of divine compassion.
Such a beautiful girl, even if she was born in an ordinary family, would still have many people lining up to propose marriage to her.
She waited for her lover for three years, but just a few months after getting married, she got involved in a scandal of being caught cheating. How ironic.
Xiao Qinghe lowered her head slightly and didn't look at Wei Lingze. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Under the sighing gazes of the crowd, Princess Hengyang finally looked at Wei Lingze: "It was this princess who invited Madam Wei to accompany me to worship Buddha today. Young Master Wei even saw me at the city gate, but turned around and ran to catch me in an adultery. Does Young Master Wei not trust his wife, or does he suspect that this princess is the madam who forced her into prostitution?"
Princess Hengyang's voice was gentle, but behind it was a great pressure.
"Please forgive me, Princess. I dare not do this!"
Wei Lingze quickly apologized, but Princess Hengyang refused to accept his words: "Young Master Wei, you dare not do this, Young Master Wei, you have already done this, please give me a reasonable explanation."
As she spoke, Princess Hengyang gave a look to the people around her, and soon a servant brought a chair.
Princess Hengyang sat down gracefully, waiting for Wei Lingze to explain.
Wei Lingze's eyes were cold, and he wished he could skin Chunxi alive.
If he wanted to explain why he fell into the trap, he would have to reveal that he had private contact with Mo Yunwan and had someone monitor Chunxi.
He is now Chunxi's junior in name. What right does a junior have to reach out to his elders' home to spy on them?
He couldn't explain this matter clearly.
Wei Lingze once again felt the pain of being unable to speak out. He pursed his lips and was about to admit it, saying that he was paralyzed for three years and had low self-esteem, so he was a little suspicious. But Shen Qingyu, the idiot, spoke faster than him again: "It was Cao Chunxi who set it up. She deliberately spread the news that she and Madam Wei were going to recruit the young prostitutes from Wuyou Pavilion for fun, so we fell for it and came here."
Prince Ying didn't like gossip very much. He asked in confusion, "Who is Cao Chunxi?"
Chunxi stepped forward at this time and said, "Your Highness, I am Cao Chunxi, and my husband is Shen Qingyuan, the Chief Censor who was recently promoted to the Censorate."
Prince Ying had an impression of Shen Qingyuan. He nodded and asked, "What does Madam Shen have to say?"
"Your Highness, I have never received an invitation from Madam Wei. I came to Yunshan Temple today because my mother-in-law appeared in my dream last night and complained about her injustice. I felt uneasy, so I came to pay my respects. I happened to run into the princess and Madam Wei. I am grateful that the princess did not mind me, so I went to the Zen temple to chat with her for a while."
Chunxi denied it directly and explained why he appeared in Yunshan Temple. Then he looked at Shen Qingyu and said, "Third brother, you accused me of framing Young Master Wei. Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence?"
Shen Qingyu subconsciously searched the crowd for Shen Jinhua's figure. Before he could find her, Chunxi looked at Wei Lingze and asked, "My nephew and I are childhood sweethearts. We've never gotten along, so he shouldn't have believed this kind of news. Why did he fall for it and come here? He even acted impulsively and disturbed the prince's meditation. Did I bribe his confidants into believing it?"
Chunxi spoke in a doubtful tone and looked innocent, which in Wei Lingze's eyes was more provocative than any words.
He thought Chunxi was of low status and was just relying on Shen Qingyuan's support behind the scenes, taking advantage of the power of others.
He thought that once Mrs. Mo died and Shen Qingyuan had to observe mourning, he would have the opportunity to make Chunxi pay for her previous actions.
However, Chunxi was standing in front of him at this moment, and it seemed that even the hair on her head was mocking her.
Mr. Wei, do you see clearly that I, Cao Chunxi, am a soft persimmon?
