If it were in the past, Emperor Qinglong would definitely feel distressed to see his beloved youngest son being treated like this. Although he would not blame Master Song Wentian and his disciple, he would definitely feel dissatisfied.

But at this moment, when Emperor Qinglong saw this scene and Concubine Shen completely lost her composure, he felt that the anger that had been blocking his heart had finally dissipated a little. If he had not tried his best to endure it, he would probably have shouted out in pleasure.

But it was too abnormal for him to remain indifferent when his beloved son was beaten. In order to avoid suspicion, when Ye Xuanrong's face was covered in blood, he reluctantly said to stop him: "Wentian, this lesson is enough!"

Song Wentian gave Ji Ziche a look, and the latter stopped and kicked the half-dead Ye Xuanrong away.

Concubine Shen crawled to her son's side, whose handsome face was stained with blood. She held him tightly in her arms, looking at Ji Ziche with hatred in her eyes.

At this time, Concubine Shen's hair was disheveled and she looked disheveled, no longer as high and mighty as usual.

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for our Sixth Brother!"

She wished she could skin Song Wentian and Ji Ziche alive.

Emperor Qinglong looked helpless: "My beloved concubine, it is wrong for Old Six to say such irresponsible things. Yunxi is not only Wentian's beloved disciple, but also the next head of Shengyun Mountain. How can we let him humiliate her?"

Concubine Shen was unwilling to give in: "But Your Majesty..."

But Emperor Qinglong held out his hand to stop her: "I don't need to say more about the status of Shengyun Mountain. You should be thankful that only Wentian and Ziche heard what Lao Liu said today. If the people of Shengyun Mountain knew about his outrageous words to Yunxi girl today, do you think he would still be alive?"

Emperor Qinglong's words were not meant to scare her. Although Song Wentian had never said this before, he knew that the next leader of the Holy Mountain of the World would have to be Song Yunxi.

If the words of Lao Liu humiliating Song Yunxi were to spread to Shengyun Mountain, all the literati in the world would surely attack him, and there would be absolutely no place for Lao Liu to gain a foothold in the Jin'an Dynasty.

Although Concubine Shen was a spoiled woman in the deep palace, she was very clear about what kind of existence Shengyun Mountain was.

It was wrong for his son to say the wrong thing on impulse, but it was really too much for Ji Ziche to kill him.

Concubine Shen cried and wiped her tears: "Old Six only wanted to marry Miss Song because he admired her, but he never expected that he would suffer such a disaster."

What Master Huicheng said is true, this girl is simply an evil star!

Concubine Shen's delicate makeup was completely ruined. Without the rouge and powder covering her skin, it seemed that she had lost all her former moisture and fair complexion. When she acted weak and pitiful like this, it only made Emperor Qinglong feel physically uncomfortable and nauseous.

So he waved his hands impatiently: "Alright, after this incident, Lao Liu should learn his lesson. If you are not worthy of someone, don't try to marry someone who is above you."

Emperor Qinglong's words made everyone start to re-examine Song Yunxi. Even if she was expelled from Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion, even if the Ningguo Duke's Mansion broke off the engagement, so what? The most beloved disciple of the Imperial Master, the next head of Shengyun Mountain, no matter what their status was, it was not something they could discuss or covet. Even the noble Sixth Prince could not reach her.

Emperor Qinglong really didn't want to see Concubine Shen and her son again, so he ordered people to send Ye Xuanrong back to see the imperial physician. Concubine Shen was worried about her son, so she left as well.

Although the banquet went on as usual, the atmosphere was obviously much more depressed and solemn, and the silence was so suffocating that people felt suffocated.

Shen Zhikang found Ji Ziche and said coldly under the pretext of toasting: "The Imperial Master's Mansion is really a good trick!"

His premonition had turned out to be correct. Today's incident was aimed at Song Muxue, as well as the two mansions of Duke Ningguo and Marquis Wenyuan, and even the Sixth Prince.

So many things happened at the banquet that they had become the focus, so when Shen Zhikang walked towards Ji Ziche, everyone held their breath and paid close attention to them.

Ji Ziche was shrouded in a chill. "I heard that Prince Shen and the Sixth Prince once threatened to make my little fourth daughter a concubine, which was an honor for her."

None of them controlled the volume, so everyone could hear their conversation. They could only sigh that the Sixth Prince and Master Shen were so ignorant that they actually wanted Song Yunxi to be their concubine.

No wonder the Imperial Master's Mansion was offended so thoroughly, and no wonder Ji Ziche wanted to kill the Sixth Prince.

Even Shen Zhikang himself did not expect that a casual remark made out of contempt for the eldest daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion would lead to such a fatal storm.

He looked at Song Yunxi with a murky gaze; his feelings towards his ex-fiancée were complicated.

She had saved his life, and their engagement was arranged by his grandmother on her deathbed. No matter what the reason, he should treat her well. However, fate made it so that he already had someone he loved, and he had to get rid of her as an obstacle.

Song Muxue rushed over like a madman, her eyes bloodshot as she wished she could tear Song Yunxi apart: "Song Yunxi, I know it was you who did this. You must die a miserable death for bringing me to this point!"

She had no evidence, but she knew that it was all because of Song Yunxi that she and Shen Zhikang got out of control and were even discovered.

Song Yunxi smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "I will do my best to avenge your broken leg."

Her legs could obviously have been healed, but that pair of bastards crippled both of her legs and turned her into a disabled person.

And how could she not take revenge for the fact that she and Ye Xuanqi were framed and caught having an affair, causing her to be disgraced?

Song Muxue felt as if a basin of cold water was poured down from over her head, chilling her to the bone and making her even forget her anger.

Song Yunxi actually knew!

Shen Zhikang was also stunned. He didn't expect that Song Yunxi knew everything they did in secret.

The smile on Song Yunxi's face froze instantly, and a chilling murderous aura emanated from her body: "So why do you think I would whitewash the situation and pretend nothing happened?"

In fact, it was Shen Zhikang who was responsible for Ye Xuanqi's fall into the water. His purpose was naturally to clear the obstacles for Ye Xuanrong.

Unfortunately, the clue was discovered at that time. In order to cover up for Shen Zhikang, Song Muxue had to jump into the freezing cold lake and pretend to be Ye Xuanqi's savior. Unexpectedly, the cold penetrated into her bones and injured her, making it impossible for her to conceive.

He had sought medical treatment everywhere over the years but to no avail, so that day he showed up at Yiyuantang to bid for Qingxue Pills.

Although Qingxue Pills are not a rare item, why would she give them to Song Muxue for free?

So the Qingxue Pills that Wang Yuan, disguised as a nobleman, gave to Song Muxue that day actually had something else added to it.

After taking the added Qingxue Pills, Song Muxue's body will emit a barely audible fragrance, which, when combined with the pine wood incense that Shen Zhikang likes to use on a daily basis, will produce an aphrodisiac effect.

Therefore, she didn't have to do anything herself today to successfully make the two of them unable to control themselves and be caught in adultery.

She was simply giving them a taste of their own medicine, letting them also experience the infamy of being caught in public.
