Chapter 106: Volume 1, Chapter 106: Emperor, the Regent Consort Has Had an Accident
That sound was not small, and everyone present heard it clearly.
Even the unmarried young ladies who heard this sound knew what was going on inside, and for a time, everyone's expressions were different.
Then, Xu Shi, as if wanting to cover her ears and steal the bell, changed her face, then turned and said to everyone in a panic: "The person inside is not Qiyue, Qiyue is not inside, let's go look elsewhere?"
Saying this, she hurriedly wanted to greet everyone to leave.
However, knowing that Yun Qiyue was inside, and knowing that she was doing such a shameful thing, how could everyone leave easily?
After all, whether Yun Qiyue was a fool or not, she was very much hated.
Whether Yun Qiyue was the Crown Prince's fiancée or the Regent's fiancée, it would cause dissatisfaction among quite a few women.
Moreover, among these people, there were Tang Simin and her mother.
Tang Simin and her mother had always felt that Yun Qiyue was blocking Tang Simin's path to becoming the Crown Princess, and coupled with the previous conflict between Tang Simin and Yun Qiyue at the First Pavilion, now that Yun Qiyue had caused such a scene, seeing that Yun Qiyue was about to be disgraced, how could they leave?
Thus, as soon as Xu Shi finished speaking, Lady Tang immediately stepped forward and said with a fake smile, "Don't, didn't you just say you were anxious to find someone? Now that you've found them, it's not appropriate to leave at this time."
As soon as Lady Tang finished speaking, someone immediately followed up, "That's right, even if it's not Yun Qiyue inside, if it's some palace maid doing this kind of thing, it's also against the rules. Since we bumped into this matter today, we can't just ignore it."
"No—no—"
Xu Shi's face turned pale, and she blocked the door in a panic.
If one didn't know, one would really think Xu Shi cared so much about Yun Qiyue.
Some people naturally felt it wasn't worth it for Xu Shi, thinking that Yun Qiyue's attitude towards Xu Shi was like that, and Xu Shi's protection of Yun Qiyue was truly too stupid.
Some of the more shrewd ones, looking at Xu Shi like this, just smiled.
In the deep mansion, if it's not one's own children, how much true affection can there be?
But no matter how everyone thought, there were too many people who wanted to see Yun Qiyue disgraced, so those who were quick-witted stepped forward to persuade Xu Shi to move away.
And Tang Simin directly instructed the maid beside her, and the maid took advantage of the fact that everyone hadn't noticed and slipped out quietly.
Naturally, others didn't notice the maid who ran out, but Xu Shi noticed it sharply, so Xu Shi blocked the door even harder.
After all, her goal wasn't just to let these ladies see Yun Qiyue, she wanted to let Yun Qiyue never be able to lift her head again.
So what if she recovered to normal? Since she was so arrogant and didn't put the Yun family in her eyes, then she would make her regret recovering.
After today, she wanted to see how Yun Qiyue would stand in the capital without the Regent as a backer.
Thinking this, Xu Shi blocked the door even harder.
And because those ladies didn't dare to really move to pull Xu Shi, for a time, the scene was deadlocked.
No one knew how much time had passed, until a heavy sound of footsteps came from outside the palace gate, which broke this deadlock.
However, when the ladies in the palace saw the group of people who came in, they were first surprised, then full of terror.
Then, they all knelt down in a panic.
Just because, among the group of people who came, the leader was actually the Regent Ye Lanjue and the Emperor Xuanyuan Kun.
Because these ladies were terrified after seeing the two, they immediately knelt down to pay homage, so for a time, they didn't see that there were some important ministers and people they hadn't seen before following behind them.
"Alright, stand up." Emperor Xuanyuan Kun said in a deep voice.
The crowd stood up, but still didn't dare to look up.
Xuanyuan Kun scanned the crowd with a dark face, then looked at the door with deep eyes, then glanced at Ye Lanjue, who was expressionless, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened to the future Regent Consort?"
It turned out that the maid Tang Simin sent out went to find the Emperor.
After all, such a thing happened in the palace, and only by making a scene in front of the Emperor could it truly be made big.
Only then could Yun Qiyue be completely disgraced.
Just, the maid's first words were "Emperor, the Regent Consort has had an accident," and she didn't notice the envoys from other countries behind the Emperor at all.
Xuanyuan Kun finally punished the maid, but this matter had started, and the envoys from other countries also showed a very "concerned" look for the future Regent Consort of Donglin, so Xuanyuan Kun had to bring people here.
Just, such a scandal made Xuanyuan Kun's face look bad, so the anger was mixed into the question.
The ladies felt the Emperor's anger and were all too scared to make a sound.
Plus, the Regent was right there, so they didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that the Regent would get angry and they would suffer as innocent bystanders.
Just when everyone was silent, Xu Shi suddenly stood up and knelt down in panic, "Emperor, Regent, I ask the Emperor and Regent to forgive Qiyue, Qiyue is ignorant, she definitely didn't mean it—"
Seeing that even at this time, Xu Shi was still pleading for Yun Qiyue, quite a few soft-hearted ladies were deeply moved, only feeling that Xu Shi was truly too kind, being able to treat her husband's niece with such sincerity.
And at this time, another moan came from inside the room, and those ladies and young ladies who heard this sound couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look at Ye Lanjue's reaction.
The group who came with Ye Lanjue subconsciously looked at Ye Lanjue, wanting to see what reaction the Regent, who had a green hat on his head, would have when he heard his fiancée doing such things with another man in the room.
However, these people quickly shifted their gazes.
Because at this time, Ye Lanjue was overflowing with cold air, and everyone felt a chill just looking at him.
"As the Regent's fiancée, to actually do such a shameless thing, and to have someone pleading for her, you Donglin people are truly eye-opening."
Just at this moment, a mocking voice came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was a woman of about twenty-five or twenty-six, wearing a rich palace dress, but dressed like a young girl.
This woman was beautiful, radiating nobility, with a graceful demeanor, and a pride in her eyes that looked down on all living things, with the Empress accompanying her on the side.
Who was this person?
Quite a few people had this question in their hearts.
However, soon, everyone's gazes carefully fell on Ye Lanjue, wanting to see what Ye Lanjue's reaction was.
After all, for a fiancée to steal a man in front of so many people, anyone would be unable to bear it.
Next, were they going to watch Yun Qiyue suffer?
Just as everyone was thinking this, Ye Lanjue said in a deep voice, "Open the door."
Xu Shi, upon hearing this, had a flash of joy in her lowered eyes, but deliberately begged, "Regent, no—"
However, before Xu Shi could finish her words, Ye Lanjue felt Xu Shi was noisy, and with a wave of his hand, Xu Shi was lifted and fell heavily to the ground.
"This King's actions are not for you to question." The cold voice didn't carry a trace of temperature.
Xu Shi climbed up from the ground in a sorry state, knelt towards Ye Lanjue, her body trembling slightly, unable to say a word.
Just, Xu Shi's hands beneath her sleeves were trembling slightly, whether because of nervousness, humiliation, or anger.
"Bang—"
Just at this moment, Moyu, who had received Ye Lanjue's order, kicked open the door.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he knocked over the screen that was blocking everyone's view.
"Ah—"
