The scene was so horrifying and shocking to the eyes. Others were unfamiliar with Feng Gengyi, and no one recognized her except the Crown Princess.

What kind of specifications did the emperor personally choose to hold the summer banquet? It was supposed to be a grand event for the emperor and his subjects to have fun together, but something like this happened. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face?

The Crown Princess made a prompt decision to put an end to the matter, and leaving no evidence to prove the crime was the best way to save the Emperor's dignity and prestige.

What else? Take these two women and one man away and interrogate them later?

Who knows what will come out of the trial?

If the incident gets out of hand, where will the emperor and the royal family put their reputation?

If they were beaten to death on the spot, they would only be three lowly lives. Compared with the dignity of the emperor, what would they count for?

Feng Gengyi and his servant, as well as the unlucky man who came from nowhere, were gagged, dragged away and beaten to death with a stick. They died instantly.

Here, everyone was talking at once to smooth things over.

"Princess Consort, calm down. There are so many people here, and there might be some who are treacherous and have bad behavior. If they are not careful, they will do something despicable and tarnish the reputation of the master's family. They really deserve to be put to death."

"That's right. As the saying goes, people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. Those people are mean and evil. They don't mind what they do. They really deserve to be punished!"

"..."

The Crown Princess's expression eased slightly, and she sighed, "I know this truth, but I am still angry. How can there be such shameless people in the world? I don't know how the stewards do their job."

Another person laughed and said, "There is always a loophole in a hundred precautions. Fortunately, it didn't get out of hand, so that's all good."

Someone else also understood what the Crown Princess meant, and immediately said in a serious tone, "That's right, Crown Princess, please don't blame yourself. Please rest assured, we will never talk nonsense, and we will never say a single word without thinking."

Everyone came to their senses and expressed their opinions.

The Crown Princess's expression eased a little, she smiled and nodded, and used both soft and hard words to persuade them a few times, saying that she had something else to do, so please do as you please. How could anyone dare to join in the fun and joke at this time? They were eager to leave quickly, so they bowed and took their leave.

Nanny Yu, Lu Ju, Cai Tang and others helped the Crown Princess, whose hands and feet were sore, to go inside and rest.

The Crown Princess dismissed everyone and only left Nanny Yu and Lu Ju.

"What's going on? How could it turn out like this?!"

The Crown Princess was extremely angry. If it had not been for the wrong occasion, she would have slapped Nanny Yu in the face.

Nanny Yu was also frightened to death. She knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, I don't know! Feng Gengyi intercepted us halfway and insisted on taking the wife of Marquis Wuwei away. I didn't dare to stop him."

Although she knew that she couldn't stop Feng Gengyi even if she was present, let alone Yu Mama, the Crown Princess still shouted angrily: "Useless thing!"

Nanny Yu begged for mercy again and again.

"Tell me what happened at that time."

"Yes......"

As for what happened after Feng Gengyi took the wife of Marquis Wuwei away, Nanny Yu didn't know.

The Crown Princess was silent for a while, sighed softly, ordered the incense burner to be lit, and personally burned a small piece of paper folded into a square, watching the paper turn into ashes with her own hands.

Nanny Yu couldn't help but whispered, "Crown Princess, this is——"

"Shut up," the Crown Princess glared at her fiercely, her eyes were sharper than ever before, "You two remember this, you didn't see anything, understand?"

“Yes, yes…”

"Luju, deal with the ashes in this incense burner."

"Yes."

Both of them guessed that today's incident was probably related to the note, but they didn't know who gave the note to the Crown Princess and what it said. They didn't dare to ask.

In fact, even the Crown Princess herself probably didn't know who gave her the note.

There are too many people in Hibiscus Garden today. Not only are there many ministers and their wives, but there are also many palace maids and eunuchs serving, patrolling imperial guards, and maids and servants who follow them. How can the Crown Princess know who is who?

She couldn't even remember who had quietly slipped the note to her and when.

No one can resist the resistance to open up and take a peek into the secret, and neither can she.

There were only a few short words on the note: Feng Gengyi, Furui Pavilion.

The Crown Princess, who hated Feng Gengyi to the core but dared not even show it, was conflicted. In the end, she could not resist the temptation and pretended to go out for fun, taking her people to Furui Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, such an exciting scene was waiting for her!

Both Feng Gengyi and her servant were beaten to death. Logically, a serious threat was eliminated. Even the prince could not find any fault with her and could only praise her. However, that was not someone else, but Feng Gengyi, the apple of the prince's eye!

Will the prince really not blame her?

But what could she do in that situation? If she didn't take the initiative and insist that it was the shameless palace maid who had an affair with the adulterer outside, once Feng Gengyi's identity was verified, where would the prince's face be? Where would the face of the Eastern Palace be?

As the Crown Princess, when she discovered this, she had the opportunity to nip all the bad things in the bud, but she chose to do nothing. So, how would the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince view her?

The Crown Princess discovered in despair that she had no perfect solution at all and was doomed to be unpopular both inside and outside.

The Crown Princess took a deep breath and slowly stood up, "I want to go and see my mother."

When the Queen heard the Crown Princess tell the whole story in tears, she was so shocked that her eyes widened. Then she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Queen: "You have done very well. This is a very appropriate way to deal with it. This is how it is. As for Feng Gengyi, she has returned to the East Palace because she is not feeling well. She has caught a cold and is recuperating behind closed doors."

After a month or two, he would naturally die of illness.

"Yes... Don't worry, mother. I will have someone take good care of her..."

"Well, you are a virtuous woman. I am relieved to leave the East Palace and the Crown Prince in your hands."

The Crown Princess took the opportunity to complain: "Mother, what if the Crown Prince blames Feng Gengyi for this matter..."

The Queen sneered: "Now that things have come to this, if he is not grateful but blames you, I will never forgive him!"

"Mother, I dare not report this matter to the Crown Prince. Please be kind to me this time."

The queen felt a bit of a headache when she thought about the prince's temper, which appeared gentle and virtuous on the outside but was actually so stubborn that it was sometimes even unreasonable.

But she nodded and agreed.

I don't know what's so good about that vixen Feng Gengyi. She doesn't care about any famous ladies, girls from wealthy families or princes, but only treats her as her life.

This time, I'm afraid there will really be some trouble.

When the prince heard this, he was shocked and lost control. In front of the queen, he slapped the princess and cursed her, "You evil woman!"

The Crown Princess was ashamed, angry, hateful and afraid. She covered her face and cried to explain.

The prince couldn't stand it at all, pointing at her and scolding, "Don't talk to me about these useless things, I don't want to hear a word. It must be you who set a trap to murder her, and then pushed it away! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? It was you who led people to break in? Princess, now, have you got what you wanted?"
