Chapter 255: Huge Ambition

"Huanhuan?!"

Mu Qingrou pushed aside the crowd blocking the doorway, shoved the already lustful Fourth Prince to the side, and wrapped Ye Huanhuan in her own clothing.

"Huanhuan, how did you end up here?!" Ye Huanhuan told her that today Ye Qingran would be secretly consorting with the Fourth Prince in this room, and that she had even helped her lure him here.

But...

"Ye Qingran, it was you, right?!"

Mu Qingrou recovered, pointed at Ye Qingran, and shouted a question.

"Me?" Ye Qingran innocently pointed at herself.

"Just now you kept saying I was the one in the room, and now you accuse me of framing Ye Huanhuan? Then tell me, should I have been inside or outside?"

When Ye Qingran said that, everyone somewhat understood what was happening.

Xia Zhimeng gave a cold smile, meaningfully said, "Some people plot wrongdoing themselves, only to set themselves on fire; they are not worthy of any sympathy!"

"Ah~~~"

At that moment, a shout rang out from the Courtyard next door!

"It's the Crown Prince!"

The crowd's faces changed.

Could something have happened to the Crown Prince?

The crowd had no time to mind Ye Huanhuan and ran toward the Courtyard next door.

As soon as they entered the Courtyard, they saw the Crown Prince wrapped in an outer robe, exposing a large swath of skin, his expression terrified as he pushed the door open and staggered outward.

Every three steps he glanced back, as if a ghost were chasing him.

In the next second, a barely clothed figure jogged out, leaned against the doorway, and stuck out its tongue to lick its lips.

"Crown Prince, I still want you!"

The coquettish voice sent a chill down everyone's spine.

As the words fell, the crowd saw the woman's appearance clearly.

Flaming red lips, pea‑sized eyes, arched eyebrows, round face, freckles all over, a mouth full of yellow teeth…

In any case, very ugly.

Ugly to the point of exploding.

Many men gagged at the sight of her.

And her horrendous figure: a massive bear‑like torso, weighing a full three hundred jin.

Dongfang Qingxuan's hair was disheveled, his exposed skin covered with kiss marks, while the woman's exposed skin was a bruised violet.

The crowd understood at a glance.

The Crown Prince and this woman had evidently done something unspeakable.

But...

Could the Crown Prince even lay a hand on such an ugly woman?

How ravenous must he be?

The crowd looked at Dongfang Qingxuan with admiration.

Dongfang Qingxuan saw a group of people at the Courtyard entrance, and especially when he saw Ye Qingran, his face turned as black as a pot bottom.

He had thought the woman he slept with today was Ye Qingran, and he had been especially vigorous and enjoying it. But when he sobered up, he realized the woman he had tangled with was an extremely ugly courtesan, and he almost went mad!

"Where's Ye Huanhuan?!" He glanced at the crowd, didn't see Ye Huanhuan, and asked in a deep voice.

He wanted to find Ye Huanhuan to clarify: where was Ye Qingran? Was she playing with him?

"Ye Huanhuan, she..."

Mentioning Ye Huanhuan, everyone's expression became very subtle.

"Speak!" Dongfang Qingxuan's face darkened.

"Ye Huanhuan is next door, with the Fourth Prince (His Highness)..."

Hearing this, Dongfang Qingxuan was first stunned, then endless fury flashed in his eyes.

No need for more words; he had already guessed what Ye Huanhuan and the Fourth Prince had done.

His first reaction was that Ye Huanhuan had schemed to frame him. She must have resented him for revoking her Crown Princess status, and thus acted this way.

She had secretly colluded with the ugliest of all princes, the Fourth Prince, and then arranged for him in the next room to have a fleeting tryst with an extremely ugly courtesan.

All this was clearly Ye Huanhuan's plot!

Dongfang Qingxuan could no longer bear it; after donning his clothes, he pushed through the crowd and strode outward. The courtesan chased after him, and while he was distracted, she clung to his waist, rubbed against him, and coquettishly said, "Crown Prince, you were so mighty just now, I still want..."

Dongfang Qingxuan's complexion kept shifting, like a palette.

Thinking of how passionately he had just been with that ugly woman made him nauseous; he almost vomited his leftover meal.

"Get out!"

He mercilessly kicked the woman away, his hatred for Ye Huanhuan deepening.

The woman, like an indestructible cockroach, struck a seductive pose on the ground, preening, "Crown Prince, could you make me your Crown Princess…"

"…"

Watching the courtesan's affected pose, the crowd swallowed.

If this woman became Crown Princess, Donglin Country would likely become a laughingstock worldwide.

…

In the Courtyard next door, Ye Huanhuan, taking advantage of everyone's departure, hurriedly put on her clothes and prepared to slip away, but as she reached the doorway, a dark silhouette loomed over her, and in the next instant a massive force struck her face, sending her sprawling to the ground.

She covered her face, lifted her head in anger to demand an explanation, and discovered that the attacker was the Crown Prince, leaving her both shocked and aggrieved.

Crown Prince…

Upon closer inspection, the Crown Prince was a mess, his exposed skin covered with lipstick marks, clearly having slept with a woman.

Her heart twisted in pain!

The woman who had a night with the Crown Prince—why wasn't it her?!

Why?!

She couldn't help shouting, "Crown Prince, you actually were with another woman…"

Dongfang Qingxuan, furious, lunged forward with a kick, "How dare you question me?!"

Ye Huanhuan felt deeply aggrieved.

"Ye Huanhuan, stop giving me that aggrieved look!" Dongfang Qingxuan shouted angrily, "You bitch, you have the nerve, daring to scheme My Palace!"

Ye Huanhuan desperately defended herself, "I didn't!"

"You still won't admit it! If it weren't for you, My Palace would have slept with that ugly woman?" Dongfang Qingxuan was incensed. The thought that he had just kissed that ugly woman and even done more intimate things made him feel sick.

"I don't know, Crown Prince, I really don't know!" According to her plan, the woman in the Crown Prince's room was supposed to be her, and Ye Qingran should have been the woman on the Fourth Prince's bed! But everything changed!

"You fool, My Palace will not let you go!" Dongfang Qingxuan said, kicking Ye Huanhuan's shoulder, dropping the harsh words, and strode away!

With so many eyes watching, his face was utterly disgraced.

Mingyue Fang, he couldn't stay there even for a second!

A proper Elegant Gathering ended after Ye Huanhuan's secret liaison with the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince's night with a brothel woman were discovered.

That night

A dark silhouette flashed into Ling Qingwu's room.

"I tasked you with investigating the National Master's situation; how's the investigation going?" Ling Qingwu asked coolly, looking at the newcomer.

"Reply, Miss, my subordinate discovered that the National Master Donglin is inscrutable, seems to have some ties to Western Extremity, but the specifics…" the subordinate in black shook his head.

Ling Qingwu stood up, "Western Extremity? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"My subordinate confirms, this National Master's subordinate has dealings with Western Extremity."

Ling Qingwu's eyes flashed.

When she saw this National Master, she felt he was exceptionally noble, his aura astonishing, never having imagined he was actually linked to Western Extremity!

"No wonder!" she murmured.

"Keep monitoring the National Master, and report any developments to me promptly."

After dismissing the subordinate, Ling Qingwu paced back and forth in the room.

"Being connected to Western Extremity and possessing such extraordinary aura, surely this National Master is a prominent figure in Western Extremity! Someone like that…"

She must get him!

Only a man as handsome and unparalleled, with refined bearing and wielding power, can match Ling Qingwu!

A determined resolve flashed in Ling Qingwu's eyes, signaling her immense ambition!
