Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen
Chapter 36 The Calm Before the Storm 4: The Emperor's Wrath
Xie Yan had been stripped naked, his face was still flushed, and he was still sleeping soundly without noticing someone coming.
Di Manli, who was beside him, saw someone coming in and pretended to be shocked and extremely scared and screamed:
"Ah, Princess Chu, why are you here?"
Seventy percent of her reaction was genuine shock.
Because according to the plan, Feng Qingluan could not appear in the room, so her presence here meant that Zhaoyang did not stop her, and she could only carry out the second plan, which was to let Feng Qingluan see with her own eyes that she and the King of Chu slept in the same bed. Although there was a suspicion of being caught in bed, the King of Chu had to marry her into the Chu Palace anyway.
Feng Qingluan seemed to be too surprised. It took her a while to react and she raised her voice and said:
"The prince is drunk, and this princess came to see him. But you, Miss Di, why are you in the king of Chu's bed?"
Di Manli pulled the quilt over herself in panic.
"Princess Chu, please listen to my explanation. The relationship between you and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is not what you think."
Feng Qingluan's eyes lit up slightly. Di Manli was very tactful in giving her a hint. She had always admired the King of Chu. She should be very happy to be discovered today.
At this time, Feng Qingluan understood why Zhaoyang stopped her. So this is the case.
"It's not what I thought. What is it? You and the King of Chu slept in the same bed naked. Doesn't that prove something? Qingxue, go and ask His Majesty and the Queen to come over. Today, the King of Chu humiliated me at the banquet and had sex with other women. This is intolerable. I would like to ask His Majesty to do me justice."
Qingxue obeyed the order and ran to the banquet hall with an anxious and terrified look on her face. Facing the emperor, the empress and many officials, Qingxue did not dare to publicize the matter. She found a young eunuch and told him the situation. The young eunuch hurriedly reported the matter to Qi Deshun, the eunuch in charge of the palace beside the emperor.
When Qi Deshun got the news, his face suddenly changed, and he whispered to Emperor Xia Ming to report the matter.
Emperor Xia Ming was in high spirits when he suddenly learned that the King of Chu was caught in bed with his wife. It was like a basin of ice water poured over his head, which immediately sobered him up and filled him with great anger.
"You bastard! Where is the person? Take me there!"
The emperor suddenly became angry, and the originally lively banquet suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at Emperor Xia Ming sitting in the main seat, not understanding what had happened.
The Queen and Concubine Ru were also confused. When the Queen was about to ask with concern, Emperor Xia Ming stood up and cast a cold gaze at Di Liang, the father of Di Manli, the General of Zhennan, who was still holding a glass of wine and talking and laughing.
"General Di, come with me!"
Di Liang felt a chill down his spine. The look in Emperor Xia Ming's eyes seemed to want to eat him alive, and a cloud of gloom hung over his heart for no reason. He put down his wine glass and said in fear and trepidation, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Xia Ming walked out of the hall. The Queen didn't know what had happened, but it must be something serious that made His Majesty so angry. She frowned and followed behind him.
Before Emperor Xia Ming left, he looked at Concubine Ru with a suppressed look of anger, which made Concubine Ru's heart tremble. The emperor's eyes wanted her to catch up, so Concubine Ru did not dare to delay and followed the queen's steps to the banquet hall door.
Xie Ying was also frightened by Emperor Xia Ming's anger. She had expected that her father would definitely be angry if the second plan was implemented. She wanted to speak for Di Manli, so she lifted her skirt and followed him out.
The other ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had received neither the emperor's order to let them go out nor the order to stay here. They stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.
The Crown Prince and Prince Jing saw that the situation was not right and that something big had obviously happened, so they both followed the people in front.
Emperor Xia Ming led a group of people to the Songcui Garden in the side hall.
Feng Qingluan was waiting in the room with a gloomy face. Di Manli had already picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were in disarray. When Xia Mingdi and others entered the room, they saw her in this state as if she had just done that.
Xie Yan was lying on the bed with his upper body naked, his cheeks flushed, as if he had just had sex and was having a satisfying dream.
"Father, Mother, please make the decision for me."
Feng Qingluan knelt on the ground without saying a word.
The queen and the people behind her walked in and saw such an erotic scene.
The emperor's face looked extremely ugly, and the queen wasn't much better. Even worse than them was Concubine Ru.
Her face turned pale, and her lips moved: "King Chu, you..."
She almost lost her balance, but luckily the nanny behind her supported her in time.
Di Manli also knelt on the ground. Her usually proud face with her eyes set high on her head was filled with fear and uneasiness. Tears fell like raindrops and she cried without saying a word.
Di Liang was shocked and upset when he saw his daughter like this, so he quickly asked:
"Manli, what's going on? You and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu..."
Di Manli cried and said in a trembling voice: "Daddy..."
Emperor Xia Ming was even more furious now, and stared at Xie Yan on the bed with a fiery gaze:
"Qi Deshun, wake this bastard up for me!"
Qi De smoothly brought a cup of tea and splashed it on Xie Yan's face.
Xie Yan was awakened by the shock of cold water. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw a group of people in the room looking at him. His brain froze for a second.
"Father, Mother, why are you..."
He wiped the water off his face and realized that he was naked.
Seeing Feng Qingluan's cold expression and Di Manli's aggrieved crying, he understood what had happened. It was like a thunderbolt that shocked him so much that he could not distinguish between dreams and reality. He got up, picked up his clothes, put them on, and knelt on the ground:
"Father, please listen to my explanation..."
Xie Yan's mind was in a mess. He didn't know why Di Manli was in his bed, and why she was exposed to everyone. Even if he wanted to explain, how could people believe him?
"What do you need to explain? I saw it all, King Chu. Have I been too indulgent towards you in the past two years, so that you can do something like this?"
Emperor Xia Ming was so angry that his face turned blue.
"Father, that's not the case. I drank too much and asked Liu Qi to help me to my room to rest. I don't know why Miss Di appeared in my room. Father, someone framed me for this. Please investigate."
As Xie Yan spoke, he was thinking rapidly, who would set a trap like this for him?
No wonder he thought he had a good alcohol tolerance before. He got drunk after just a few drinks tonight. It was very likely that someone had put something in the wine.
There couldn't be anything wrong with the wine at the banquet; it was the royal wine from the palace and no one dared to tamper with it.
Xie Yan thought of the glass of wine that Di Manli gave him after they came out of the banquet, and suddenly he realized something. Could it be that Di Manli staged a plot and used some trick on him?
