The scent of lovemaking lingered in the room. The group of eunuchs appeared unstoppable as they tore down the screen in the middle of the room.
Once the screen was moved away, the scene on the bed immediately appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The ladies turned their heads to the side in a hurry, while Consort Yong turned around and reprimanded, “Foolish servants, who told you to move the screen away?”
They quickly moved the screen back to its original place. Even so, what could’ve been seen had already been seen, especially that mound of meat.
There was likely no one in the entire palace who had a physique like this except Hui Wang.
Duchess Weiguo immediately panicked and wanted to lead everyone out. But before she could make a move, a eunuch from behind the screen said, “Your Highness Hui Wang…”
At the same time, Empress Wei arrived with an entourage.
She wasn’t aware of the specifics of the situation, but her face was already solemn and furious. As soon as she reached the door, she asked, “Where’s the person?”
But no one answered her. A certain eunuch’s wailing came from behind the screen. Hui Wang’s eyes had turned red from frustration. Unhappy at being interrupted, he threw the person out. At the same time, a woman’s grumble of dissatisfaction could be heard.
It was an utter and complete mess. Right at this time Emperor Hongjing also arrived.
Hearing the announcement, ‘His Majesty is here’, everyone knelt down.
“What on earth happened?”
With everything presented before his sight, anyone could discern what had happened. Consort Yong lowered her head and quickly answered, “This daughter-in-law accompanied the ladies here to Jianxue Pavilion to rest, but then met with such a scene. And the man is actually His Highness Hui Wang. As for the woman…”
She turned her head and asked the eunuch who was just inside, “Who’s the woman?” He was caught off guard just now, and Hui Wang’s body was too big, so he naturally didn’t see who the woman was under him.
Someone hurriedly replied: “Answering Your Majesty and Your Highnesses, this woman, this woman…”
“Who is it?!”
The eunuch cried, “This woman looks like Side Consort Su from Jin Wang Manor… “
As soon as his words were finished, everyone was stunned.
Hui Wang and Side Consort Su from Jin Wang Manor…
God! This was simply obscene! They were brother and sister-in-law…
Besides Duchess Weiguo, the others all wished they were blind and deaf. At the same time, they couldn’t help trembling in fear. Given their positions, they naturally understood the gravity of the situation. Now that something so scandalous happened in the imperial family if His Majesty decided to cover up the matter, would they all meet their ends here in the imperial gardens tonight?
These noble ladies were all so frightened that they were shaking like branches in the wind. At the same time, they scolded Hui Wang fiercely in their hearts. Out of all the women, he just had to choose Jin Wang’s woman! Not only that, but her name was recorded on the jade slip and she had given birth to both of Jin Wang’s two sons. Was he not deliberately seeking death?!
No one dared to look at Emperor Hongjing’s face. With the constant noises coming from behind the screen, it was like the calm before the storm.
Empress Wei smiled hastily. “Your Majesty, there must be a mistake, Hui Wang will never…”
“Shut up for me! What a good son you’ve raised!” said Emperor Hongjing sharply.
Empress Wei was too frightened to speak.
At this moment, a hesitant voice suddenly sounded, “What happened? Why did I hear someone calling my name?”
Everyone turned to look in unison and saw Side Consort Su of Jin Wang Manor standing not far away. Next to her was Jin Wang himself.
She seemed a little flustered from being stared at by so many people at the same time. But she still remembered to greet Emperor Hongjing and Empress Wei.
At this time, Empress Wei felt a sense of relief well up within her. She even walked over and helped Yaoniang up. “Good child, no one was calling for you. It was the eunuch who was blind and acknowledged the wrong person.”
Jin Wang sneered, “Empress mother, no need to make excuses for others. Have the eunuch come out. Erchen wants to ask him whether he ate a bear’s heart or a leopard’s gall to dare to speak such nonsense. Or was it someone who instructed him to say such incriminating words? If it weren’t for Erchen happening to pass by, wouldn’t all sorts of rumours be flying around soon? Even if it hadn’t been true in the beginning, it would eventually become the truth!”
Following this sentence, some people couldn’t help but look at Consort Yong. Earlier, she had spoken up twice in a row. Usually, when something like this happens, one would try to cover it up as much as possible. No one would try to investigate deeply into the matter in front of outsiders. Of course, this wasn’t enough to pin her as the culprit. After all, people do make errors in judgment.
But none of the people present were fools. How could they ignore the abnormality?
Yaoniang’s face flushed red. Soft cries came from her mouth and she supported herself by holding onto Jin Wang. Jin Wang patted her soothingly, unaware that Yaoniang’s legs were still shaking. The underside of her skirt was empty and her legs felt cool in the air. If it weren’t for Jin Wang’s excellent martial arts, he wouldn’t have been able to take her out of the room as soon as the sounds were heard. Who knows what would’ve happened then.
While Jin Wang was speaking, Emperor Hongjing had already ordered people to go behind the screen. The eunuchs were led by Li Dequan. All of a sudden, it went quiet. Hui Wang and the unknown woman seemed to have been knocked unconscious. The woman who the eunuch assumed to be Side Consort Su was dragged out. Li Dequan approached Emperor Hongjing to whisper, “Your Majesty, she’s the seventh young miss of the Wang Family.”
No one said a word. The only sound present was Yaoniang’s soft cry. Soon other sounds could also be faintly heard in the background and they seemed to be from a room not far away.
Emperor Hongjing gave another look, and Li Dequan hurried over.
When she heard that the woman inside was the seventh young miss of the Wang family, Eldest Wang was immediately stunned.
As if she had lost her mind, she rushed behind the screen at once. Seeing Wang Defang, who was thrown onto the ground, wrapped in a quilt with her exposed shoulders and neck all blue and purple, all rationality flew out the window. She lifted her hand to slap Wang Defang across the face.
Wang Defang woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she received a harsh smack on her cheek.
“You unruly little slut. How dare you do such a thing…”
In pain, Wang Defang subconsciously covered her face with her hands. A eunuch stepped up and scolded, “This is the Imperial Palace! How dare you act so presumptuous!”
At this time, Wang Defang recalled what happened before. She had waited for Jin Wang according to Consort Yong’s instructions, and Jin Wang really came. She knew that there was incense in the room, so she threw herself towards Jin Wang without any sense of shame. Yet she then seemed to have been knocked unconscious.
Then where was Jin Wang?!
She looked around, but couldn’t see Jin Wang. But not far away, there was a man on the bed. He was as fat as a pig, resembling a meat mountain.
Then her previous memory rushed forward, how shameless she had acted and how the other party responded.
And this man was not Jin Wang, but Hui Wang.
Her original pale face turned gray.
…
The corridor was silent.
The sound from the room not far away also stopped, making people feel it had only been a hallucination.
Li Dequan soon returned and whispered to Emperor Hongjing, “It’s His Highness Yong Wang and the tenth young miss of the Wang Family.”
Emperor Hongjing let out a cold chuckle. “Heh. How great!”
Eldest Wang likely didn’t hear this since she was still inside, but Second Madam Wang’s legs immediately weakened and she fell to the ground. At the same time, the several women standing to the side turned whiter than paper, not even daring to lift their heads.
Consort Yong had no words to say. When she saw Su Yaoniang and Jin Wang appear together, she was already shocked. Now that she heard this, she became even more dumbfounded. However, her reaction speed was also relatively quick, and tears started streaming down her face as she rushed towards the nearby room.
“Great! How you dare secretly meet a slut here!”
Consort Yong’s shriek resembled that of a screeching banshee, but Empress Wei looked relieved. Then she frowned and said, “Someone, detain Consort Yong! Has she not lost enough face?!”
