It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

The two maids in front seemed to sense the subtle changes in the air. They lowered their bodies involuntarily. Their eyes passed through the gorgeous door and they responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, the sound seems to come from deep inside this room!"

Before he finished speaking, the noise outside the door seemed to be suppressed, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

"His Majesty!"

That voice that was tender yet firm rang out again, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, but it seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet palace.

The emperor frowned slightly, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he ordered calmly: "Go check it out and open the door."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maids responded softly and walked lightly towards the closed door. Their fingers lightly touched the door handle, and an imperceptible hesitation flowed through their fingertips.

The door hinge turned with a slight creaking sound, and an air flow mixed with warmth and various indescribable smells suddenly rushed in, instantly filling the entire space.

Behind the door, a jaw-dropping scene suddenly appeared: Pei Qingzhi, with her clothes disheveled, tightly hugged the almost naked Zheng Chengyan.

Zheng Chengyan's face was full of panic, and his arms tried to break free from the uninvited restraints. When the door opened, he looked up in surprise, his eyes passing through the messy hair and directly into the shocked eyes outside the door.

The expressions of the Emperor, Tan Xinyue, and the Second Young Master Wu and the First Young Master Xie who followed behind them froze in an instant, as if time had been paused at this moment.

"This this……"

The emperor's words were choked in his throat. He was not completely unaware of his romantic affairs in daily life, but even he was shocked by such a scene.

"What kind of situation is this?!"

He wondered to himself, how could this former brother-in-law end up in such an embarrassing situation with the unmarried Miss Pei?

"Your Majesty..."

Zheng Chengyan spoke incoherently, hurriedly pushed Pei Qingzhi away, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, and put them on in a hurry.

"Qingzhi!"

Young Master Pei's eyes almost spit fire when he saw his sister in such a miserable state. He strode forward and tightly wrapped her trembling body with the quilt beside him.

Zheng Chengyan finally straightened his clothes, staggered a few steps, and knelt in front of the emperor and Su Wanyu: "Your Majesty, it's all her fault. It was the second young lady of the Pei family who forced me to stay here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Su Wanyu, whose face was complicated, and his tone was full of pleading: "Yu'er, really, she pretended to be you and dragged me into this chaos. The light was dim at the time, and I couldn't see clearly, so I made a big mistake."

"Yu'er, I came here just to see your beautiful face."

"Yu'er..."

These affectionate calls of "Yu'er" made Su Wanyu's heart tighten, as if millions of ants were crawling under her skin.

Not only her, but even the emperor found it unbearable. He suddenly kicked out and said sternly: "You can call the princess as you please?!"

Zheng Chengyan fell to the ground, and the slight sound of his bones echoed in the empty room.

Master Pei's anger was like a volcano erupting. He let go of his sister and kicked Zheng Chengyan fiercely: "Zheng Chengyan, not only did you bully my second sister, you also slandered her reputation in front of His Majesty!"

The emperor's furrowed brows revealed his inner irritation. He had no interest in the second lady of the Pei family, and it was none of his business who she had an affair with.

However, today, all of this happened right in front of me and my sister, tainting my sister's eyes and polluting her ears...

"The daughter of the Pei family is really unique in her 'style'. She actually staged such an unbearable farce in someone else's mansion."

There was some irony in his words.

Young Master Pei immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, trying to save the family's reputation: "Your Majesty, please be merciful. My sister has lived in seclusion for a long time and has never known the world. It must be that the second son of the Zheng family had evil intentions and lured my sister here. I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice for my sister!"

Pei Chi'an and Concubine Pei originally planned to use Pei Qingzhi to enter the palace in order to give birth to an imperial heir. After His Majesty's death, the Concubine would be able to seize real power in the name of assisting the young emperor.

Who would have thought that Pei Qingzhi's private relationship with Zheng Chengyan not only ruined her reputation, but also made His Majesty feel disgusted because of Zheng Chengyan.

Not only was there no way for him to enter the palace, but his marriage would also be a problem in the future. This filled Pei Chi'an with resentment, and he wished he could tear Zheng Chengyan into pieces.

Under the gaze of everyone in the room, Pei Qingzhi gradually regained some consciousness, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and beads of sweat slid down her pale cheeks.

She looked at Zheng Chengyan and her brother, and was surprised to find the emperor standing at the door: "Your Majesty, why are you here? Just now we..."

The emperor's eyes were as cold as ice, piercing people's hearts: "Just now you were spending the night with the second son of Zheng."

Pei Qingzhi's face turned pale and she covered her mouth with her hands in panic, suddenly realizing that the person she was entangled with was not His Majesty, but Zheng Chengyan.

She hastily pulled the blanket tight around her body, knelt hastily on the ground, and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I was mistaken for Zheng Chengyan for you."

These words made Pei Chi'an's face even gloomier, as if dark clouds were covering the sun.

The emperor raised his lips in a cold arc: "You mean, what is the difference between me and Mr. Zheng Er?"

Zheng Chengyan is the descendant of a criminal minister. How dare she compare Your Majesty with him? She is simply courting death!

Pei Qingzhi realized that she had spoken out of turn, and hesitated to speak, her expression full of fear: "Your servant... Your servant..."

The emperor waved his hand, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty: "Get out! Don't pollute the eyes of me and your sister again!"

However, Pei Qingzhi did not give up. She still had fantasies in her heart and crawled forward: "Your Majesty, I have always loved you in my heart... How could I have such a ridiculous thing with the second son of Zheng? There must be a misunderstanding!"

"You are pleased with me?"

The emperor pointed at himself, his lips curled up, his eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he almost laughed.

He chuckled a few times, his eyes accidentally met with Tan Xinyue's, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Pei Qingzhi, even if I like that plain-looking woman, I won't favor you. Stop having those unrealistic dreams!"

"Before, I was a little lenient with you because of the favor of the Concubine Dowager. From now on, do not appear in my sight again!"

"roll!"

This one sentence completely shattered Pei Qingzhi's dream of becoming the queen.

Although the emperor did not explicitly state who the "ugly girl" referred to, the look he gave Tan Xinyue was enough to explain everything.

Pei Qingzhi stood there in a daze, looking down at the deliberately modified purple-blue lilac pattern on the hem of her skirt, her heart was filled with confusion.

What happened? !

Who secretly tampered with the flower that should have belonged to the trajectory of destiny?

At this Hundred Flowers Banquet that gathered the essence of all flowers, according to the script, the one who should be punished should be Tan Xinyue!
