Chapter 233

A gleaming sword tip pressed against Wangfu's throat, gradually forcing him out of the cabin.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard around suddenly sounded with the noises of weapons being drawn, and everyone nervously looked at the tall man holding the sword tip that had forced Wangfu out.

However, they saw Zuo Feichen wearing only a plain middle garment, its collar even torn open, revealing his clean, firm chest.

Deep and shallow red marks appeared on his chest, neck, and even his handsome cheeks, marks that any man could understand.

Dense and numerous, they were clearly kiss marks left not long ago.

His face was flushed, a hint of ambiguous spring color lingered at the corners of his eyes and brows; his thin undergarment swayed with the wind, revealing Zuo Feichen's excellent figure and his bare, long legs.

The surroundings instantly fell into dead silence, and everyone first looked toward Prince Rui.

My goodness! No wonder the Princess Consort of Rui just protected this black-covered boat and wouldn't let anyone in—turns out there was a pretty boy hidden inside!

Earlier, it had been heard that Shang Jing's divine doctor Zuo Feichen would rather ruin his prospects, closing the clinic he had run for so long, even the ancestral business left by his forefathers, willingly going to the Princess Consort of Rui's clinic to work as a resident physician.

No one could have figured out this reason, but this time everyone understood it.

Xiao Yin and Tuo Ba Yu, who was standing at the bow of the large boat, simultaneously turned cold-faced; Xiao Yin stared intently at Zuo Feichen's ambiguous attire before him, his fingers gripping the sword hilt so tightly his knuckles whitened.

His masseter muscles were clenched tight, and the killing intent on his body made people tremble with fear.

He then looked toward Gu Jiu Ling, and Gu Jiu Ling was also dumbfounded!

She hadn't expected everyone's acting to be so good; Zuo Feichen, who usually looked honest, actually used this method to trap her—how would she ever explain this to the prince?

Moreover, when did that bastard give her these kiss marks, and that little flirtatious look between her brows and eyes—those who didn't know would think she had actually molested him just now!

What, tonight everyone's determined to ruin her reputation, and they won't stop until they do!

However, the scene Zuo Feichen caused actually had some unexpected effect—it was a surprising winning move.

Now the people around finally realized: there were no assassins tonight; it was just a story that the Princess Consort of Rui and her men had to tell.

She felt a chill in her heart from Xiao Yin's gaze cast upon her, wanting to explain, but this was absolutely not a good moment to do so.

Gu Jiu Ling also didn't dare look at Xiao Yin, and had no choice but to lower her head.

Seeing her like this made Xiao Yin feel even more stifled—could it be that his wife really had an affair with that quack doctor Zuo Feichen?

Otherwise, why would her expression look so genuine?

Wangfu also hadn't expected a man to come bursting out of the black-covered boat in such a state?

Zuo Feichen also stopped pressing his sword against the man's neck, feeling it was a frivolous ambiguity and a game; he gave a light laugh, lowered his sword, but looked toward Gu Jiu Ling, who had her head down.

Gu Jiu Ling really wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in; Zuo Feichen gave a light laugh: 'Princess Consort, how long do you intend to hide me?'

Damn it! Gu Jiu Ling wished she could sew his mouth shut with needle and thread—he's been 'enlightened', able to say anything!

At this point, Gu Jiu Ling would rather fight to the death with the Embroidered Uniform Guard than be publicly humiliated.

The key is slander; this bunch of lowly scoundrels, when they slander others, each is more adept than the last.

She was so angry she couldn't speak.

The on-site annual green‑hat culture love drama of three men and one woman was performed lively; all around, whether it was the Embroidered Uniform Guard or the attendants of the Northern Di Villa, even the guards of the Rui Wang Fu.

Everyone stared wide‑eyed, wishing they could grab a handful of melon seeds and whisper a few more comments.

You tell me! The Princess Consort doesn't know what she's thinking—she gave up a perfectly fine prince, and instead found someone with red eyes and a doctor?

Who says it isn't!

Moreover, she's almost due to give birth, yet she's still being so wanton—no wonder she's the Princess Consort!

But just now, Doctor Zuo's appearance…… tsk tsk tsk……

The only one on scene who was truly focused on business was Wangfu; Wangfu suddenly felt something was wrong, and didn't have the energy to quibble with Zuo Feichen about the sword tip at his throat.

He swung the sword tip, directly cutting down the curtain, and walked straight in.

The cabin was piled full of miscellaneous items, all kinds of unrecognizable equipment, appearing to almost fill the entire cabin, leaving no place to stand.

Under these circumstances, one doesn't even know how that dog‑couple managed to get into that state!

Wangfu hastily shook his head, threw out the inappropriate thoughts in his mind, and shouted loudly: 'People! Move the things out!'

Those Embroidered Uniform Guard around didn't dare stay to gossip any longer; they hurried forward and entered the black‑covered boat, seeing the cabin stuffed full of things, and then recalling Zuo Feichen's appearance just before.

Those moving the things couldn't help but glance again at Zuo Feichen and Gu Jiu Ling; indeed, it's the nobles' way of playing—ordinary people really don't understand.

A crowd rushed in and moved the things out of the cabin; in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the cabin's contents were carried to the grass by the shore, instantly emptying the cabin.

There's no way to hide a person—not even a cat or a dog could be hidden there, let alone such a large woman.

Wangfu's heart gave a thump—could it be that he had guessed wrong?

Was tonight really just about helping Xiao Yin catch an adulterer, with no assassins at all?

Tonight I really came to help Xiao Yin catch an affair—there's no assassin at all?

He ordered people to pry open the planks of the black‑covered boat, almost dismantling it piece by piece, yet still found no trace.

Xiao Yin's brows also furrowed—could it be that Princess Yalan isn't on the boat? If Princess Yalan isn't on the boat, what is Zuo Feichen up to with this appearance?

Xiao Yin's brows also furrowed. Could it be that Princess Yalan is not on the boat? If Princess Yalan is not on the boat, what is Zuo Feichen up to?

Xiao Yin's icy aura suddenly surged all over his body—this time he really meant to kill.

"Gu Jiu Ling!" Xiao Yin almost bit out her name character by character, as if he wanted to bite her to death.

Gu Jiu Ling lowered her head even further, everything was in chaos—how could that scoundrel Zuo Feichen come up with such a scene.

Yes, he did get inspiration from Tuo Ba Yu's side—this is copying the pattern, but did he consider her feelings?

"Gu——Jiu——Ling!" Xiao Yin shouted again.

Gu Jiu Ling forced herself to walk up to Xiao Yin's face and whispered, "Prince, I……."

"Return to the mansion!" Xiao Yin turned and walked away; Gu Jiu Ling hurried to follow, but unexpectedly Wangfu also came after her.

He was unwilling—just let Gu Jiu Ling walk away like that?

He's unwilling! Just let Gu Jiu Ling go like that? No way?

"Prince! Prince, please wait! This matter……ah!" Wangfu suddenly covered his left eye, kept retreating, his other eye stared fixedly as he turned to look at his Xiao Yin.

Severe pain and despair struck instantly.
