The original intention was to catch Yu Rou and the Fifth Prince in bed, but now it was her who was lying here.
It was impossible not to be angry, but now that things had come to this, she should think about what to do next. Fortunately, the other party was the Fifth Prince, not an ordinary person. If she could marry the Fifth Prince...
Yu Si lowered her eyes and cried even more pitifully.
Later, I must put all the blame on Yan Wanyun and the others.
Fortunately, she still had a trick up her sleeve. As long as the matter had nothing to do with her, she would be the victim.
Yu Si made a decision immediately.
The emperor had tables and chairs set up outside the tent, waiting for the fifth prince to come out.
The prince whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and then the emperor ordered the eunuchs around him to go into the tent to see what was going on inside.
The eunuch went in for a while and came out with a strange look on his face.
The emperor asked, "How is it? Who is in there?"
The eunuch looked at the prince and whispered, "It seems...it seems to be the lady from the Yu family."
Everyone was in an uproar. Although they had heard that the lady of the Yu family and the fifth prince were caught having a secret meeting, after confirming it, no one could believe it.
Everyone looked at the prince with a strange look in their eyes, and many noble ladies were so angry that they stamped their feet.
The Crown Prince, however, smiled particularly brightly in front of everyone. He said, "Then please ask Madam Yu and Fifth Brother to come out. It's been so long, it's time for them to get dressed properly."
"Go and let them out..." The emperor raised his hand and ordered.
At this time, the prince's men also traced the case back to He Yulian, because it was she who sent people to kidnap Yu Si and send her to the bed of the fifth prince, and the love incense also came from her.
The amorous incense was also quietly lit in the fifth prince's tent.
Originally, the scent of the aphrodisiac would only last for less than an hour. Once that time was up, no one would know that they had been drugged. But who would have known that the prince went there at such a coincidence and happened to smell the aphrodisiac.
After hearing what his subordinates said, the prince laughed coldly and looked towards where He Yulian was.
She won't cry until she sees the coffin. It seems that the last punishment was too light for her and she hasn't learned her lesson.
The tent curtain was lifted.
Everyone's attention was focused on the person who came out.
When the fifth prince came out, his face looked very bad. Everyone whispered a few words, but kept staring at his back.
But after waiting for a while, no one showed up.
The emperor asked, "Where are the people?"
The fifth prince looked back with impatience in his eyes.
The eunuch hurried in and called the person out.
The moment Yu Si walked out, everyone's eyes widened.
How come...it's this Yu family lady! ?
He Yulian and Yan Wanyun were not standing together, but when they saw Yu Si, they were both stunned and looked around for each other...
What is going on?
Where's Yu Rou? How could it be her?
Seeing the expressions of He Yulian and Yan Wanyun, the prince was certain that they were the ones who did it.
When the emperor saw that it was not Yu Rou, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was in no mood at all because of this farce. He waved his hand, asked the prince to handle the matter, and turned around and left.
In front of everyone, the prince ordered the guards to arrest Yan Wanyun and He Yulian.
This is more shameful to them than beating or scolding them.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Yan Wanyun wanted to drag Yu Si into the water, saying that she was also an accomplice and that she was the one who took the initiative to seduce the fifth prince, so she took advantage of the situation.
But she had no actual evidence, and was instead framed by Yu Si.
Yu Si took out Yan Wanyun's token and said that he got it from the criminal who captured her.
In this case, Yan Wanyun had nothing to say.
She wanted to harm Yu Rou, but ended up lifting a stone and smashing her own foot, and also hurting her entire family.
After this incident, the Yan family, which had been highly valued, was disliked by the emperor. Yan Wanyun's father was demoted, and soon news came out that Yan Wanyun was seriously ill. Not long after, she was shaved and sent to a temple.
When the southerners heard about what happened in the capital, they cancelled their engagement with He Yulian. Later, He Yulian was imprisoned at home for two years, and was eventually arranged to marry a military commander in Shandong. But that's another story.
As for Yu Si, she was able to escape at that time because Yu Rou didn't want to make the family scandal public, so she didn't tell anyone what Yu Si had done.
But this doesn't mean she will let Yu Si go.
After Yu Rou returned home, she took the maid she had placed with Yu Si to the old lady's room and explained the whole story.
The old lady was furious and asked the maid to call Yu Si over. At first, Yu Si denied it.
But Yu Rou put the evidence in front of her, leaving her no way to argue.
Yu Si was locked up in the ancestral hall by the old lady and made to kneel for three days. Finally, the old lady wanted to send Yu Si to the Fifth Prince's mansion in a sedan chair, but the Fifth Prince refused.
Yu Si was so ashamed that she banged her head against the pillar and almost disfigured herself.
Yu Rou took the opportunity to propose a division of the family and separated the third room.
The first and second houses still lived next to each other, separated only by a broken wall.
…
After the prince returned to the palace, he immediately proposed to the emperor to marry Yu Rou.
The emperor and the empress were very happy. Since it was a matter of great importance to the state that the prince get married as soon as possible, they ordered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day.
The Imperial Observatory was also very efficient, sending over three dates the next day.
They are September this year, February next year, and July next year.
The Emperor and Empress both chose February of next year, but the Crown Prince said he wanted September of this year.
The prince's wedding is no small matter, so it cannot be rushed. Some things still require a year or two of preparation. It's almost May now, so September is really too soon.
But the prince insisted on having his own way, so the emperor and empress had no choice but to let him go. They ordered the Ministry of Rites to take charge of it immediately and announce it to the world.
