Chapter 108: Volume 1, Chapter 108: The Aggrieved and Resentful Li Xiaofei
Xu Shi, looking at Yun Qiyue's gaze towards her, felt a tremor in her heart.
Inexplicably, she had a bad feeling.
Or rather, from the moment Yun Qiyue appeared, that bad feeling had accompanied her.
Just at this moment, because no one interfered, Yun Yarou, who continued to entangle with Li Xiaofei, because she couldn't get satisfaction for a long time, became somewhat angry, and shouted coquettishly, "Give it to me—"
This voice—
Xu Shi widened her eyes; for that moment, Xu Shi only felt cold all over, somewhat at a loss.
Then, Xu Shi pushed away the people blocking in front of her, "Move!"
Then, under everyone's gaze, Xu Shi ran to Li Xiaofei.
When Yun Yarou's face appeared before Xu Shi's eyes, Xu Shi only felt the world spinning.
Then, Xu Shi looked around, ran frantically to the bedside, tore down the bed curtain, and then ran to Li Xiaofei again, wrapping Yun Yarou up, including her face.
After confirming she was wrapped, Xu Shi began to pull Yun Yarou.
But now Yun Yarou had no reason at all, and Yun Yarou without reason had great strength; for a time, Xu Shi was unable to pull Yun Yarou off Li Xiaofei.
Seeing everyone looking at herself, Xu Shi was somewhat panicked, but pretended to be calm, then pointed at Li Xiaofei and cursed, "You lecher, lecherous thief, although Lian'er is only a concubine-born daughter of our Yun family, you ruined Lian'er's reputation like this, how is our Lian'er supposed to behave in the future?"
Lian'er?
Concubine-born daughter?
Could it be that the lecherous woman inside was Yun Xinlian?
The crowd thought this.
However, Li Xiaofei, having been called a lecher and a scoundrel, was furious. He shoved away Yun Yarou, who was still trying to grope him despite being wrapped in the bed curtains, and stood up. With an exasperated expression, he said, "I'm a lecher? I'm a scoundrel? It was clearly your Yun family's young lady who saw me and was overcome by lust, wanting to go to the Peach Blossom Spring with me—I'm the victim here, okay?"
Saying this, Li Xiaofei's resentful gaze swept over Yun Qiyue, then looked at the crowd aggrievedly: "You tell me, I'm a man, you were outside for so long, if I really wanted to do something to this Yun family Miss, what couldn't I have done in such a long time? Did I need to wait for you to catch us in the act and still not have succeeded? Besides, you weren't blind to the scene just now."
Li Xiaofei's words made everyone look at each other, and then they all looked at Xu Shi with strange gazes.
Because Li Xiaofei's words made sense.
Especially those ladies who came with Xu Shi in the first batch, from hearing the movement to kicking open the door, how much time had passed?
If someone was a bit worse in that aspect, they could have done it two or three times, so where would they see Yun Xinlian entangling with her lover?
It was unexpected that this concubine-born daughter of the Yun family had actually done such a heaven-shaking thing in the palace so quietly.
Seeing that everyone was about to believe Li Xiaofei's words, Xu Shi was anxious and hurriedly defended, "You, you are talking nonsense, how could Lian'er—"
Xu Shi was about to defend herself.
However, at this time, Yun Jiande suddenly ran in.
Xu Shi saw Yun Jiande from afar, as if she had seen her backbone.
However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Yun Jiande, who hadn't seen Xu Shi at all, suddenly knelt before the Emperor.
"Emperor, you must make the decision for this humble official."
Seeing this posture, everyone thought Yun Jiande had learned the news from this side.
Even Emperor Xuanyuan Kun thought so.
After all, Yun Xinlian was Yun Jiande's daughter.
Although she was a concubine-born daughter, Yun Xinlian often followed Yun Yarou to attend banquets, so everyone knew a little about her.
Thus, Xuanyuan Kun glanced at "Yun Xinlian," who was held by Xu Shi in the room, and then glanced at Li Xiaofei, who was disheveled with his chest bare, before withdrawing his gaze.
"Yun Minister, don't worry, this matter, I will naturally have people investigate clearly, and will give your daughter justice." Right or wrong, it had to be investigated to have a conclusion.
Otherwise, if he were biased towards the Yun family, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Dingbei Marquis Li Hongxiu.
If he were biased towards the Li family, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Wuan Marquis if he returned.
Both were Marquises, and as an Emperor, he couldn't be biased at all.
However, Yun Jiande, hearing the Emperor's words, was stunned.
Investigate clearly?
This matter had already happened, did it still need to be investigated?
No, if it were really investigated, he might lose a daughter.
Thinking of this, Yun Jiande hurriedly said, "Emperor, although Xinlian is only a concubine-born daughter of this humble official's family, she has already had marital relations with the Crown Prince—"
"Old Master—" Xu Shi screamed, interrupting Yun Jiande's words.
At this time, she was shocked, angry, and panicked.
What marital relations did Xinlian have with the Crown Prince? How could Xinlian and the Crown Prince?
Also, Old Master said Xinlian and the Crown Prince, then what about her Rou'er in her arms? Rou'er was the future Crown Princess.
Moreover, she had told everyone that the person in her arms was Yun Xinlian; if this Yun Xinlian was with the Crown Prince, then...
The more Xu Shi thought, the more terrified she became, not daring to think further.
Seeing Xu Shi like this, Yun Qiyue couldn't help but curl her lips.
Xu Shi wanted to let Yun Xinlian take the bad reputation of Yun Yarou, did she ask her?
But it had to be said, this Yun Jiande arrived very timely, and she had to silently give Yun Jiande a "like" in her heart.
Yun Qiyue's expression fell into Ye Lanjue's eyes, and seeing Yun Qiyue's cunning look, Ye Lanjue couldn't help but curl his lips again.
And at this time, no one noticed Yun Qiyue.
Because everyone's gaze fell on Xu Shi.
Including Emperor Xuanyuan Kun.
Although Xuanyuan Kun was shocked and angry at what Yun Jiande said, his sharp eyes still fell on Xu Shi, "Yun Xushi, who exactly is the person in your arms?"
Xu Shi fell to her knees, somewhat at a loss, and her hands holding Yun Yarou couldn't help but tighten a few points.
Originally, Yun Jiande's words were suddenly interrupted by Xu Shi, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
After all, although he intended for his legitimate second daughter to be the Crown Princess, since his concubine-born daughter had marital relations with the Crown Prince, he naturally had to plan for the concubine-born daughter.
After all, the Crown Prince would ascend the throne in the future, and even if the concubine-born daughter was a concubine, as long as she planned well, or gave birth to the Crown Prince's eldest son, the future would be limitless.
Moreover, having two daughters as the Crown Prince's women would also be good for mutual support in the harem.
Because of such thoughts, Yun Jiande didn't care about the danger and came to beg for a favor.
However, listening to the Emperor's question now, looking at Xu Shi's sorry state, and seeing Xu Shi holding someone, Yun Jiande inexplicably had a bad feeling.
And Xuanyuan Kun, seeing that he asked a question and Xu Shi didn't respond for a long time, had long lost his patience.
Although two such things happened one after another, making him lose face in front of the envoys, he absolutely would not allow anyone to deceive the Emperor.
Thus, Xuanyuan Kun instructed his attendant, "Go, pull open that bed curtain, I want to see who exactly is inside."
