Chapter 109: Volume 1, Chapter 109: Beauty in Arms, and the Beauty Was the One Who Took the Initiative
"No—" Xu Shi screamed silently, shaking her head constantly, her eyes full of terror and panic.
Clearly, Xu Shi didn't want anyone to step forward.
But she didn't dare to stop the Emperor's order, so she could only let people pull Yun Yarou, who she was holding, away.
Soon, the bed curtain on Yun Yarou was removed, and Yun Yarou's face was exposed to everyone's eyes.
"Ah—"
Someone saw it was Yun Yarou and couldn't help but exclaim.
Following behind the Emperor were some noble young masters, and among these young masters were those who admired Yun Yarou.
Seeing that the person wrapped in the bed curtain was actually Yun Yarou, the young master who admired Yun Yarou had disbelief and disappointment in his eyes.
But, with the Emperor present, he didn't dare to make any movement.
And at this time, Yun Yarou, after being "liberated," because of the drug, actually pounced towards the two eunuchs who were restraining her.
Eunuchs were castrated men, so where had they experienced such a scene?
As a result, being entangled by Yun Yarou, and even being touched all over, the two eunuchs stood there blankly, not knowing how to react, and could only have their faces flushed red.
This scene, seen by those young ladies, only felt incomparably shameful, and they all shifted their gazes away, not daring to look, but couldn't help but want to peek.
For a time, the scene fell into an incomparably awkward situation.
And Xu Shi, at this time, had a pale face, at a loss.
As for Yun Jiande, seeing his legitimate second daughter, whom he had high hopes for, looking so shameful, his face became extremely ugly, and he couldn't say a word.
Especially, he vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
When he came, he seemed to have done something by mistake—
"Yun Xushi!"
At this time, Xuanyuan Kun was furious.
Yun Jiande was on the side, his body couldn't help but tremble, and his whole person was crawling on the ground, not daring to speak.
"You told me this was your concubine-born daughter? Do you dare to deceive the Emperor?" Xuanyuan Kun didn't expect that in front of him, someone would really dare to deceive the Emperor; could it be that now one or two people didn't put him, the Emperor, in their eyes?
And the Emperor's words finally made Yun Jiande collapse to the ground.
At this moment, he finally understood what his appearance meant.
He had actually harmed his legitimate daughter for the sake of a concubine-born daughter.
Yun Jiande's intestines turned green with regret.
Yun Qiyue looked at Yun Jiande, a flash of sarcasm crossing her eyes.
Now that he thought of it, it was too late.
The feeling of personally pushing the daughter he had high hopes for into the fire pit should be very refreshing, right? Yun Qiyue thought very immorally.
People who always want to harm others must have the awareness of being harmed by others.
This is called, one report after another, it's not that it won't arrive, it's just that the time hasn't arrived!
And Xu Shi, upon hearing the two words "deceive the Emperor," her face was deathly pale, and out of the instinct to survive, Xu Shi forced herself to calm down, knelt and crawled forward, crying and begging: "Emperor, this humble official's wife did not intentionally deceive the Emperor, it's just that this humble official's wife's daughter was kidnapped by some thief and harmed to this point, and this humble official's wife was angry and panicked, so she did something bad, I ask the Emperor to forgive me."
Xu Shi's appearance looked miserable and sad, which made quite a few people feel sympathetic.
Even Xuanyuan Kun, looking at Xu Shi's appearance, couldn't help but be moved.
However, before Xuanyuan Kun could express his stance, Li Xiaofei on the side couldn't help it, "You say someone harmed your daughter? How can you say that? Could it be that you don't have eyes and can't see that the person harmed is this young master?"
Saying this, Li Xiaofei also knelt towards the Emperor, begging, "Emperor, this humble official almost had his reputation ruined like this, if you don't make the decision for this humble official, I—I this—"
Li Xiaofei was the son of a Marquis; although he hadn't been crowned as an heir, his family had begged for a false title for him, so in front of the Emperor, he could call himself a "humble official."
Just, Li Xiaofei got stuck after saying this, his expression looking like he was constipated.
Everyone couldn't help but look at him, wanting to see what kind of words he could squeeze out.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Li Xiaofei finally popped out a sentence, "This humble official won't know how to stand in the capital in the future!"
The last sentence was said miserably, full of heartache, as if he had suffered a great grievance.
Heaven knows, when everyone knew the woman was Yun Qiyue just now, they were very sympathetic to Li Xiaofei, but now they were very envious of Li Xiaofei.
Beauty in arms, and the beauty was the one who took the initiative; how aggrieved could he, Li Xiaofei, be?
This was clearly getting a bargain and still acting like a victim, okay?
It was Yun Qiyue, looking at such Li Xiaofei, her eyes full of suppressed laughter.
She thought that seeing this trickster being so hardworking and acting so well to trick people, she would charge a
As for the Emperor, Xuanyuan Kun, listening to this wailing from Li Xiaofei, only felt his temples throbbing.
This Li Xiaofei truly lived up to the title of "First Playboy."
"Third Brother, do not act recklessly in front of the Emperor."
Just then, among the group of noble young masters behind the Emperor, a young man stepped out, looking at Li Xiaofei with an expression of disapproval, helplessness, and seriousness.
This person, dressed in white, had a gentle and scholarly temperament. He was the eldest son of Li Xiaofei's second uncle, Li Sibai, and also Li Xiaofei's eldest cousin.
However, when Li Xiaofei saw him, his eyes flickered, and a complex look passed through his lowered gaze.
After Li Sibai finished reprimanding Li Xiaofei, he knelt before Xuanyuan Kun with a look of panic. "Third Brother is unruly. I beg the Emperor's forgiveness. I am willing to accept the punishment on his behalf."
This Li Sibai was exceptionally talented in literature; he had placed in the top fifty in last year's examinations and now served in the Ministry of Rites, which is why he had a place among the young talents welcoming the foreign envoys.
Such a display of protecting his cousin while remaining respectful not only satisfied Xuanyuan Kun but also caused many young ladies to secretly lose their hearts to Li Sibai.
Li Sibai seemed not to notice any of this, waiting only for the Emperor to mete out punishment.
However, Xuanyuan Kun waved his hand. "Enough. The fault does not lie with him; you may rise as well."
Saying this, Xuanyuan Kun looked at Xu Shi. "You say your daughter was abducted by a thief; do you have proof?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shi subconsciously glanced at Yun Qiyue, but seeing Yun Qiyue looking at her with a triumphant expression, she nearly lost her mind in a fit of rage.
But thinking that the charge of "deceiving the Emperor" had not yet been cleared, Xu Shi forcibly suppressed that surge of anger.
To avoid losing her composure, Xu Shi withdrew her gaze and said, "The Emperor has seen it too; our Rou'er is not herself. She must have been poisoned by a villain, otherwise, our Rou'er, who was personally taught by her elder sister, is usually the most dignified and virtuous. How could she do such a thing? I beg the Emperor to investigate clearly."
Saying this, Xu Shi kowtowed toward Xuanyuan Kun.
The reason Xu Shi mentioned her eldest daughter, Yun Yajie, was that she was gambling.
In the entire capital, one could hardly find a few people capable of attending Huangyun Academy; she did not believe the Emperor would disregard the status of her eldest daughter's "gilded" identity and truly punish her.
