Chapter 222 Du Anwen and Wei Yonghuai commit illicit acts in the Liuguang Palace!
Outside the room, watching the man in black carry Du Anwen toward the Liuguang Palace, Gu Simo couldn't help but curse, "Shameless! What kind of noble lady from the capital is she? She's just a shameless slut who sleeps around!"
Yu Chi Ling glanced at her sideways, "Have all the other arrangements been made?"
Gu Simo immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, all my senior and junior brothers are in place, nothing will happen tonight."
"Ah."
Just as Yu Chi Ling was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure approaching them.
He rushed forward and embraced the person.
Ye Shishu patted him with a laugh, "You won't even let me watch the good show, really!"
Gu Simo stepped forward and said, "Little sister, it's a good thing you didn't see it. If you had, you would have thrown up your dinner from last night!"
Ye Shishu stretched her neck from Yu Chiling's embrace and asked her with great interest, "Second sister-in-law, tell me quickly, what happened?"
Gu Simo chuckled and said, "You should let His Highness tell you. Yao'er is still eating in the side hall, and I have to go keep her company!"
After saying that, she took off running away.
Ye Shishu poked the man's chest with her finger and said reproachfully, "You didn't even give me a heads-up! I was so worried about you not showing up for so long!"
Yu Chi Ling put his arm around her and talked to her as they walked toward the banquet hall.
He came out of the imperial study and was about to head to the banquet hall when he was suddenly attacked by assassins.
The assassin failed to harm him, but was instead captured alive and forced to reveal the mastermind behind the assassination and his purpose.
He released the assassin, then returned to his palace to wait for Du Anwen to come to him.
When the couple walked hand in hand into the banquet hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Ye Shishu wore a polite smile, but her gaze was fixed on Luo Lixian's direction.
Luo Lixian stared at them with wide eyes, but compared to the amazement and respect in the eyes of others, she looked as if she had seen a ghost, her face pale and her whole body trembling.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? You look terrible." As he passed her table, Ye Shishu deliberately stopped and asked her with concern.
"No, it's nothing. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Luo Lixian lowered her head, trying to hide her anger and guilt.
"Hey, why didn't I see my second brother, Prince Liang, tonight?" Ye Shishu asked with concern.
"He is unwell and is resting at home."
"Oh."
Ye Shishu curled her red lips, knowing all too well what was going on.
The reason why that bastard Yuchi Rui didn't enter the palace wasn't because he lost his position as crown prince, but because he went from being the eldest son to the second son, and from a legitimate son to a son born out of wedlock.
Previously, the couple had to address Yuchi Rui as "Royal Brother," but now that they meet again, it should be Yuchi Rui who addresses them as "Royal Brother and Imperial Sister-in-law"!
So these days, Yuchi Rui has been staying in his new residence, reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors, and has not had any contact with anyone, let alone come to a banquet with so many people!
Just as the couple was about to go to their table, a guard rushed into the banquet hall and reported to Yuchi Sheng, "Your Majesty, we discovered something unusual in Liuguang Hall during our patrol. Upon investigation, we found someone committing illicit acts there!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chi Sheng slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Who is so arrogant and shameless? Seize them!"
The guard replied, "Your Majesty, it is Wei Yonghuai, the young master of the Wei family, and Du Anwen, the young lady of the Du family."
Everyone in the banquet hall was listening intently to the gossip. Wei Guangzheng was on sick leave, and the Wei family was not attending the banquet that night. However, Du Youchong and his wife immediately erupted in excitement upon hearing their daughter's name.
The couple didn't even have time to hear Yuchi Sheng's verdict before rushing out of the banquet hall and running towards the Liuguang Hall—
The Liuguang Palace is usually uninhabited, but tonight the once quiet palace is bustling with the sounds of lovers making love.
When Du Youchong and his wife arrived, they found a group of guards standing outside a room, while inside came their daughter's shrill, wanton voice.
Du Youchong wished he could dig a hole and bury himself alive!
Madam Du finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted with her eyes rolled back!
Before long, Yu Chi Sheng arrived with his men.
Hearing the wanton sounds coming from inside the room, he couldn't help but order Qi Sui, "Go! Knock out that shameless bastard inside!"
Upon receiving the order, Qi Sui quickly led his guards to break down the door and rushed inside—
Before long, guards carried out a man and a woman.
The two were wrapped in bed sheets.
Although the body was covered, anyone with eyes could guess what was under the sheet.
Yu Chi Sheng pointed at Du Youchong, who was slumped on the ground, and said angrily, "Du Youchong, is this the good daughter you raised? How dare she do such a shameful thing in the palace? Does she think I'm dead?"
Du Youchong buried his head deep in the ground, too ashamed to look up.
Yu Chisheng raised his voice and ordered, "Issue my decree: Du Youchong, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, has failed to educate his daughters properly and has allowed them to engage in licentious behavior in the palace. He is unfit to serve as an official of the court. Effective immediately, Du Youchong is hereby dismissed from his post as Minister of the Court of Judicial Review! Throw all these filthy things out of the palace!"
Upon hearing this, Du Youchong's kneeling body swayed uncontrollably, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground, fainting just like Madam Du.
……
Luo Lixian did not go to Liuguang Palace to watch the excitement, but instead hurriedly left the palace and returned to the Liang Prince's Mansion.
Not long after she returned, Mo Qianxiao came looking for her and asked her bluntly, "Did you cause tonight's incident?"
Luo Lixian suppressed her panic and shook her head, saying, "Fourth brother, it wasn't me, it was Yuchi Ling and Ye Shishu!"
"They did it? Then why are you so guilty? Isn't Wei Yonghuai your lover? Don't you want to know why he would have an affair with another woman?" Mo Qianxiao questioned coldly. He had noticed that this woman's expression was strange during the banquet; while everyone else went to watch the commotion, she ran off without saying a word.
"Fourth brother, it is precisely because my relationship with Wei Yonghuai is unusual that I must avoid suspicion."
Just then, Yuchi Rui came in from outside the door.
Seeing the siblings arguing, he asked with a stern face, "Isn't tonight the Fourth Prince's welcome banquet? Why are you back so early?"
Mo Qianxiao glared fiercely at Luo Lixian, "I'm warning you, don't cause trouble before we take action! If you ruin our plans, I will not let you off easily!"
"Yes, Fourth Brother, I know what to do. It won't affect your plans," Luo Lixian replied obediently, bowing her head.
Although she felt guilty when facing Yuchi Ling and Ye Shishu in the palace, after returning to the Liang Prince's Mansion and calming down, she thought carefully and realized that Wei Yonghuai and Du Anwen must have been tricked by Yuchi Ling and Ye Shishu. At most, it would ruin Wei Yonghuai and Du Anwen's reputation, but it wouldn't affect anything else.
Therefore, she has absolutely no reason to be afraid.
"Fourth Prince, since you're here, please go to the study and have a seat," Yu Chi Rui said, gesturing for Mo Qianxiao.
