Chapter 196 If you dare to lie, I will rob your whole family
Princess Hengyang was awakened by a severe headache.
When she sat up, she immediately felt sore all over.
My body feels like it's been taken apart and reassembled, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere.
Princess Hengyang kept gasping for air, her face full of pain. She was thinking about how to discipline the servants in the mansion, when she turned her head, she saw a handsome and familiar face.
Wen Yanshu?
Princess Hengyang was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she rushed forward and slapped the still-awake Prince Consort. "You bastard, how dare you climb into my bed while I'm drunk?"
Princess Hengyang tried her best, but seeing Wen Yanshu's disheveled clothes and his chest covered with scratches and suspicious kiss marks, the anger in her chest continued to rise.
She kept this bastard because he was good-looking and would be pleasing to the eye in the princess's mansion, so how dare he take advantage of her?
Princess Hengyang gritted her teeth, a murderous look on her face. Wen Yanshu quickly said, "Princess, you've misunderstood. This is the Night Watch. Nothing has happened to us."
Princess Hengyang looked around and realized that this room was extremely simple and was not a princess's residence.
But the pain in her body was real, and she still stared at Wen Yanshu warily: "What happened last night? Why are you here?"
"Last night, the princess and Madam Shen got drunk and beat up a group of ladies from aristocratic families. They were brought back by the Night Patrol. Lord Shen came to the princess's mansion but couldn't find Madam Shen, so he brought me to the Night Patrol. I came to feed the princess some hangover soup, but the princess mistook me for a prostitute from Wuyou Pavilion and tried to rape me..."
"Bullshit, that's impossible!"
Princess Hengyang rejected the idea outright. Seeing Wen Yanshu staring at her, she quickly changed the subject: "Where's Ah Xi? Is she okay?"
As she spoke, Princess Hengyang quickly tidied herself up, opened the door and walked out.
Upon hearing that the princess had woken up, the prosecutor rushed over and told Princess Hengyang in detail what had happened last night.
"This is all a misunderstanding. The Night Patrol detained someone overnight, and it's against the law to keep them locked up any longer. The princess is magnanimous and will definitely not argue with them. Otherwise..."
"At the foot of the Imperial City, this princess was beaten up by a group of people. Do you think this is all a misunderstanding?"
Princess Hengyang interrupted the inspector, her eyes and tone were frighteningly cold, and her innate royal aura was overwhelming.
The prosecutor felt a chill run down his spine, but he still whispered, "Although there are many of them, none of them are as brave as Madam Shen. Madam Shen protected the princess very well, but they were all injured. From last night until now, many people have come to inquire about it. If we don't release them, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the princess's reputation."
"Heh~" Princess Hengyang sneered, "It's precisely because my reputation as a spoiled and arrogant princess isn't strong enough that what happened last night happened. If Ah Xi hadn't been there, wouldn't those people have eaten me?"
“…”
In fact, princess, you are also very strong, and you have secret guards to help you.
The prosecutor wanted to persuade him again, but Princess Hengyang asked first, "Where is Ah Xi now?"
"Princess, Madam Shen hasn't woken up yet, and Master Shen won't let anyone disturb her."
Shen Qingyuan has been guarding here all the time?
Princess Hengyang raised her eyebrows and instantly understood why the Night Patrol was able to detain so many ladies from aristocratic families for a night and investigate the matter so thoroughly.
It seems that this old man really likes Chunxi.
Princess Hengyang did not disturb Chunxi, but only asked if Chunxi was injured.
The prosecutor did not dare to hide anything and told Princess Hengyang the results of Shen Qingyuan's examination.
Soon, Princess Hengyang came to the lobby and met with a group of ladies from aristocratic families.
After being beaten and interrogated all night, even Yun Wantang could not bear the fatigue and looked disheveled, and the others were like eggplants hit by frost, lifeless.
Seeing Princess Hengyang, Yun Wantang immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can just come after me. There's no need to implicate so many innocent people."
Yun Wantang originally had no intention of engaging in a head-on conflict with Princess Hengyang, but what happened last night caught her off guard. If she didn't stand up at this time, others would blame her.
Princess Hengyang glanced at Yun Wantang lightly and said calmly, "We'll talk about your matter later. Those who laughed at me last night, please stand up first."
Everyone had confessed. The Second Young Lady of the Minister of Rites' residence knelt before Princess Hengyang with a pale face, "I know I was wrong. I beg your forgiveness, Princess!"
"Don't be impatient. First, tell me why you are laughing. Then I will consider whether to punish you."
“…”
The second young master's wife was narrow-minded and could not stand others being better than herself. Her own husband had a good family background but was quite ugly. After accidentally meeting the prince consort once, the second young master's wife hated Princess Hengyang. Whenever she heard the rumors about Yun Wantang and the prince consort, she would be secretly happy for a long time.
Yesterday, when she saw Princess Hengyang "dared not" come to keep her appointment with Yun Wantang, she felt that Yun Wantang outshined the princess, and that she herself seemed more attractive than the princess. So when she saw Princess Hengyang and Chunxi appear drunk in the evening, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
But she didn't expect that just a smile would cause such a big disaster. Now she didn't dare to say why she laughed in front of Princess Hengyang.
"Your Highness... Your Highness was thinking of an embarrassing incident in the past, so I laughed out loud accidentally. I swear I was definitely not making fun of the princess!"
"Oh? Really? Then you must swear on your maternal and marital families that if you lie to me today, tomorrow your maternal and marital families will be raided and your entire family will be wiped out!"
Princess Hengyang's voice was not loud, and there was even a smile on her face, but no one present thought she was joking.
The woman kneeling on the ground turned pale in an instant, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She didn't dare to make such an oath.
Princess Hengyang is your Majesty's biological sister, and she is the one who truly has the ability to make this oath come true.
If Princess Hengyang really wanted to wipe out all nine clans of their two families in anger, she would be blamed even if she died a thousand times.
The atmosphere was cold, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead. After a long moment, the woman spoke dejectedly, "I just lied. I did make fun of the princess last night. I thought the princess was gloating over the Fifth Lady of the Imperial Tutor's Mansion suddenly returning to the capital to drown her sorrows in alcohol, and that's why she laughed out loud. I am willing to obey the princess's orders, and I only ask that she spare my family."
Princess Hengyang was very satisfied with this answer and ordered in a cold voice, "Come here, drag her away and give her thirty slaps on the face, then let her go."
After the woman was dragged away, Princess Hengyang's eyes fell on Shen Qingchi.
Shen Qingchi was extremely panicked, and after a moment he covered his stomach and cried out in pain.
Princess Hengyang didn't hesitate. She sent for a doctor and had Shen Qingchi taken to the next room to rest. Then she looked at Yun Wantang and said, "Now, we can talk about what happened between you and your husband."
