She moved her feet lightly, preparing to turn and leave. As she turned her head, she met the bottomless gaze of Quan Aoyu. Jun Zijin was shocked; with her keen perception and vigilance, she had completely failed to notice someone standing silently behind her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jun Zijin could recover, Quan Aoyu covered her mouth with his hand. He lowered his voice and whispered into her ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't make a sound; the good show has only just begun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quan Aoyu pulled Jun Zijin back toward a hidden spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they heard noisy footsteps approaching. Jun Zijin sneered; they had come very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a scandalous and immoral affair has occurred in the palace; it must be reported to His Majesty and the Imperial Consort immediately so they can decide how to handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Princess An, it has already been reported to His Majesty and the Imperial Consort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never expected the County Princess of Qingping to be such a shameless person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My second younger sister must have been confused for a moment, which is why she...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The footsteps, mixed with voices, soon reached the outside of Dongxiang Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second sister, come out quickly. Don't be foolish. Even if I have to risk my life, I will certainly plead for you,\" Jun Yiyi said, choking with sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jun Zijin, are you not coming out because you've done something shameful?\" the voice of Princess Jiahe rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open the door!\" Princess An shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crisp \"creak,\" someone quickly reached out and pushed open the tightly shut door. Immediately after, another hand pulled hard, and the heavy curtains that had been covering the window tightly were suddenly yanked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the dazzling sunlight from outside flooded into the dim room, illuminating it completely. The intense light forced the two people inside to cover their eyes with their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present widened their eyes, seeing a man and a woman on the bed, their faces covered by their hands, pressed tightly together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\" Jun Yiyi screamed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second sister, you really did such a shameful thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the eldest sister calling me?\" Jun Zijin asked, walking over slowly from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at her with wide eyes. If the County Princess of Qingping was here, then who was inside...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amount of drug in the candle was not large; it seemed the person who meant harm had calculated the time and dosage well. When everyone entered, they had opened the door and the window, so there was no residual drug left in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recovering their senses, everyone looked back at the two people on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Second Imperial Prince!\" someone shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Yiyi stared fixedly at the calm and composed Jun Zijin, unable to speak. After a long while, she realized that the people on the bed were not Jun Zijin and a guard, but the Second Imperial Prince, Quan Qiming, and Jun Zhidie. She panicked, thinking that things had gone wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the two on the bed, Jun Zhidie was the first to wake up. She remembered that she had been with the Crown Prince...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the room and the area outside were crowded with people, Jun Zhidie let out a scream, \"Ah!\", and hurriedly grabbed her clothes to cover herself. Hearing someone shouting \"Second Imperial Prince,\" she looked back at the naked man on the bed and screamed again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can it be you? Impossible, I was clearly with the Crown Prince...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at Jun Zhidie in disbelief. Had this Third Young Lady of the Jun family lost her mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Second Imperial Prince, who was mostly sobered up, was also full of shock at the sight. Seeing that the woman he had just been with was actually thinking of the Crown Prince, he—a dignified Second Imperial Prince of the Tianqi Kingdom—could not bear the blow to his self-esteem. Quan Qiming glared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this, Miss? You refuse to acknowledge it after we're done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhidie was both angry and ashamed, but since the other party was an Imperial Prince, she dared not say anything. She just hurriedly put on her dress, biting her lower lip, with tears swirling in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the Emperor, Quan Wuji, arrived. The crowd consciously cleared a path. Quan Wuji walked into the room with a gloomy face. After scanning the room, his gaze fell upon the disheveled Second Imperial Prince and Jun Zhidie, and his dark expression eased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess An had sent someone to report that the County Princess of Qingping was having an illicit affair with a guard in Dongxiang Pavilion, and he had known it wasn't simple. If it really were that second girl of the Jun family, she wouldn't be able to avoid such filth, and she wouldn't be qualified to stand by Aoyu's side. Aoyu needed help, not a burden!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of decorum is this!\" the Emperor roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhidie knelt down with a \"thud\" and cried:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, this subject's daughter was framed. Please, Your Majesty, seek justice for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Imperial Prince also hurriedly tidied his clothes, knelt, and defended himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father Emperor, this woman threw herself at me the moment she saw me enter the room. Now she refuses to acknowledge it; she is truly detestable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in the corner, Jun Zijin tugged at Quan Aoyu beside her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quan Aoyu raised an eyebrow and said triumphantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw the drunk Quan Qiming coming this way, so I just knocked the guard out and dragged him away. He walked in by himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft,\" Jun Zijin almost choked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhidie's voice rang out again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, it was Jun Zijin. It must have been Jun Zijin who framed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third younger sister, don't talk nonsense. The eldest sister didn't even see who it was when she entered the door, yet she kept shouting that the person with the Second Prince was me. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask my eldest sister; everyone present can testify,\" Jun Zijin said, stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, that is indeed the case,\" someone else added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the eldest young lady of the Jun family?\" the Emperor said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Yiyi, who had been hiding in the back feeling that things were going wrong, turned pale with fright when the Emperor called her name. She had to kneel down, stammering for a long time before saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This subject's daughter... this subject's daughter doesn't know either. I only heard it from others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who did you hear it from?\" Quan Wuji's voice was icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Jiahe, seeing that things were going wrong, tried to slip away, but was grabbed by Quan Aoyu, who said loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The show isn't over yet. Is Princess Jiahe leaving already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the name of Princess Jiahe, Jun Yiyi gritted her teeth and pointed at her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard it from Princess Jiahe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Jiahe almost vomited blood:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're lying! You were the one who gave me the drug!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Jiahe and Jun Yiyi began to bite back at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh~~!\" a sound of sudden realization came from the crowd. Who didn't know that the Second Imperial Prince, Quan Qiming, was licentious and unrestrained? In his Prince's residence, his concubines were as numerous as clouds, exceeding the number of beauties in the current Emperor's harem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Princess Jiahe and the eldest young lady of the Jun family had wanted to frame the County Princess of Qingping. The Third Young Lady of the Jun family had mistakenly thought the person in the room was the Crown Prince and had taken the initiative to strip and seduce him, not knowing the person inside was the drunk Second Imperial Prince. What was meant to harm the County Princess of Qingping had, by a twist of fate, turned into the Third Young Lady of the Jun family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Princess An, who had led the people to make the arrest, turned pale. This matter involved her daughter, and she knocked her head against the floor:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, this subject's wife is guilty. It is my failure in discipline, but I truly did not know the full extent of this matter. I beg Your Majesty, for the sake of the Imperial clan, to deal with this leniently.\" Princess An pleaded, her face streaming with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly: \"Deal with it leniently? Since when did My Imperial palace become a place for you to scheme against others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Imperial Consort Gao, who had remained silent, spoke slowly: \"Your Majesty, although this matter involves Princess Jiahe, the young lady of the Jun family is also hard to absolve of blame. Since the Second Prince and the Third Young Lady of the Jun family have already become a reality, why not grant them a marriage? As for Princess Jiahe and the eldest young lady of the Jun family, let them kneel outside the palace gate. What does Your Majesty think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1517,"2026-06-21T03:35:39.629Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a6ee6f83b0849cdeed15fbb0683a226dd1e4238f977a5cb1fbdfe903089c70e2","the-phoenix-returns-to-rule-the-world-chapter-48","the-phoenix-returns-to-rule-the-world-chapter-46",224,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-phoenix-returns-to-rule-the-world-cover.jpg"]
