Drunk Bamboo

"If you want your young lady's reputation to be ruined, then shout loudly and bring His Majesty and the Queen here."

Xie Yuzhu first bent down and gently covered Luo Qi with the coat in his hand, then straightened up, speaking in a cold but intimidating tone.

"You should have stayed by Miss Luo's side and taken care of her, but because of your dereliction of duty, she was put in danger. She fainted in the side hall and no one knew about it. You have damaged your reputation. What will you do if your lady wakes up and knows about this?"

The maid Xiaolan was at a loss, her eyes full of panic.

Xie Yuzhu probed, "She just got engaged to King Wen, and it's all because of you. She may have to live in pain for the rest of her life. If that's the case, then shout."

Tears streamed down her cheeks: "No, it was the young lady who asked me to leave... She was clearly with Miss Xiao, how could this happen?"

She had only been gone for a while, why would the lady be like this? !

She grew up with the young lady, who treated her like a family member and told her everything, so she knew how the young lady felt about the Wind King.

The young lady knew what she wanted to do with just one look. That's why she took the servants in the mansion and the people in the palace and left the side hall.

He suddenly raised his head: "Otherwise I will never leave even if I die!"

Xie Yuzhu said calmly: "Your young lady was drugged. She was already like this when I came."

"Miss...Miss, you were..." He looked at the young lady in disbelief, knelt on the ground in regret, tears in his eyes, "It's all my fault, Miss, it's all Xiaolan's fault for not taking good care of you..."

Grab the only person who can help her at this moment:

"Princess, please save my young lady. She has a stubborn personality. If she knew about this, she might, might..."

She didn't dare say any more.

Xie Yuzhu could see that she was a loyal person.

He helped Xiaolan up and said sincerely, "Xiaolan, your young lady's reputation has not been ruined. I just examined Miss Luo, and someone only ripped off her outer shirt and knocked her unconscious in the palace. In fact, I was not the first to discover your young lady. It was my prince who saw it first. He was afraid of ruining Miss Luo's reputation, so he didn't dare to make a move and only called me over."

"Wind King?" Xiaolan was stunned.

Xie Yuzhu thought Xiaolan was afraid of Hua Qinfeng, so she didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, she struck while the iron was hot and brainwashed her:

"Miss Luo is smart and sensible. You are her personal servant, so you are naturally very smart as well. After hearing this, you should be able to guess that such a bizarre thing must be manipulated by someone. Someone is trying to ruin your reputation or frame my prince."

"I don't know whether she wants to destroy Miss Luo or my prince. Now we are in the same boat, and our testimony must be consistent."

Xie Yuzhu observed Xiaolan's expression. Her face was pale, but her eyes were firm.

"As long as it's for the young lady's good, I'm willing to do anything."

Very good, that is easy.

Xie Yuzhu arranged, "Let's change Miss Luo's clothes first. Xiaolan, go find a male servant you can trust in the Luo Mansion. Keep it quiet and don't let your master know. Let them escort your young lady out of the palace and say that she fainted out of worry after hearing that King Wen fell into the water."

Xiaolan responded without hesitation: "Okay."

The fact that the princess did not make it public after noticing the young lady's behavior was already protecting her reputation.

Yunling wanted to change Luo Qi's clothes, and Xie Yuzhu handed her a handkerchief:

"Tie this on. There's still some aphrodisiac left on your clothes. Don't breathe it in."

Although the smell of the medicine has almost dissipated now.

Yun Ling was stunned for a moment, remembering Chaoyang's actions just now, and then she understood why he didn't let her get close.

Xie Yuzhu went to find Hua Qinfeng.

"How do you feel, my lord?"

Chaoyang said: "The princess's detoxification pills are very effective. The prince's forehead is no longer sweating."

Hua Qinfeng sat cross-legged with his hands on his knees, his eyes closed and his mouth moving slightly.

Xie Yuzhu exclaimed: "Your Highness, are you using your internal energy to force out the poison?"

Chaoyang: "I'm chanting the Heart Purification Mantra."

Xie Yuzhu: “…”

She took out the jade token and handed it to him: "Chaoyang, take the Peony Jade Token and escort Miss Luo out of the palace. I have already convinced her maid Xiaolan, she will help us."

"Where is the prince?"

He lowered his eyes to look at Hua Qinfeng and said, "Your Highness cannot leave yet. Miss Luo can be said to have fainted because she was worried about Prince Wen falling into the water. Your Highness has been through many battles, so this excuse is not applicable and will make people feel strange."

"Prince Wen fell into the water, but Your Majesty did not come out to take a look, nor did he say hello to His Majesty and the Queen, and then left. Isn't that heartless? Moreover, he was with Prince Wen before, and leaving now shows that he is even more suspicious."

So Hua Qinfeng had to be patient.

Before leaving, Xie Yuzhu reminded him, "Your Majesty, come out when I call you later. Chant the Heart Purification Mantra here first."

Hua Qinfeng's ears turned red, he closed his eyes and nodded.

Knowing that I had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, I immediately understood the vivid images that kept appearing in my mind, but I was still ashamed.

When she returned to the house, Yun Ling had already changed Luo Qi's clothes and packed her original clothes.

After a while, Xiaolan appeared with two male servants from the Luo Mansion: "Princess..."

Xie Yuzhu took over the conversation, showing a guilty expression:

"Miss Luo is so affectionate. I shouldn't have come to tell her about King Wen falling into the water. It's all my fault for being too direct. I should have been more tactful and not frightened Miss Luo. Send her out of the palace quickly and let her have a good rest. If she stays in the palace and sees King Wen unconscious, she will definitely faint again out of sadness."

Xiaolan urged, "Go and help the young lady, I'll report to the master."

Xiaolan is Miss Luo's personal maid, and everyone in the mansion knows that Miss Luo treats her like her own sister.

She has spoken, who dares not to listen?

He hurriedly helped Luo Qi out of the palace.

Xie Yuzhu ordered: "Chaoyang, take my peony jade token and escort Miss Luo back to the mansion. Make sure you send Miss Luo to the Luo Mansion safely."

"Yes."

This action touched Xiaolan even more.

"Xiao Lan, you can now hurry to report the situation to your master. Remember, when you came back and saw me with the prince, your young lady fainted after hearing what I said about King Wen. I felt guilty, so I asked someone to send Miss Luo out of the palace to rest, but you were too worried and panicked, so you delayed reporting to your master."

After a pause, Xie Yuzhu reminded again: "Remember, there is nothing else, just like this. No matter who asks you or threatens you, you must answer like this, understand?"

Xiaolan nodded, her eyes firm and affirmative: "Xiaolan understands, even if someone puts a knife to Xiaolan's neck, they will say the same thing."

Xie Yuzhu replied with peace of mind: "Go ahead."

Before Xiaolan left, she bowed solemnly to Xie Yuzhu and said gratefully, "Thank you, Princess."

Xie Yuzhu nodded and sighed softly in his heart. Things have just begun.

Next comes the main event.
