The Second Imperial Consort and Princess Yong'an originally drugged Qi Wan in order to help Li Zhi make things happen. Qi Wan would be able to marry into the Li Mansion with a generous dowry, and bring the Qi and Pei Mansions to help the Second Prince.

However, Princess Yong'an went to bed with Li Zhi herself and was caught in the act by the Second Imperial Concubine and her men, which led to the truth being revealed.

Li Zhi couldn't get out of bed.

Princess Yong'an was still not awake, and was still making a fuss in the arms of the old woman, begging for more...

The only people left in the guest house of the front hall were the Second Prince, the Second Empress, and Madam Li. The guards stood far away and dared not approach.

The Second Prince's military advisor Li rushed over upon hearing the news. When he heard the princess's irrational screams, he was also dumbfounded. How could they set up a trap to harm Miss Qi and become the princess?

He was afraid that the emperor and the second prince would be angry and chop off his head, so he stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, the Li family must have replaced the princess. They want Princess Shang more."

Although he was the military advisor of the Li Mansion, when he faced the situation where the person who was supposed to be Miss Qi was inexplicably replaced by the princess, the first thing he thought about was how to save his own life and the lives of his whole family. He had long forgotten the words "filial piety and loyalty".

The second prince thought about it carefully and felt that it was true. This was his territory. If Miss Qi had not been deliberately replaced, how could Yongan sleep with Li Zhi inexplicably?

Thinking of this, the Second Prince was immediately furious, unable to bear it any longer, and he stepped forward and slapped Second Imperial Concubine Li several times, cursing angrily, "Bitch! Bastard!"

The Second Imperial Concubine was beaten so hard that her head felt dizzy, her ears were buzzing, and she was seeing stars.

She covered her red and swollen cheeks with both hands, her heart full of doubts and confusion. She really couldn't figure it out. Everything was under her control. It was obviously Miss Qi who got into Li Zhi's bed, so why did she become a princess in the end?

The Second Prince pointed at Madam Li angrily and cursed: "You must give me a satisfactory explanation for what happened today, otherwise I will never let it go and will definitely divorce this princess!"

Madam Li turned pale as paper when she heard this. She suppressed her grievance and anger, knelt down slowly, bowed her head and said, "It's all up to Your Highness to decide."

The second prince snorted coldly.

He whispered the arrangements to the old woman holding the princess.

The old woman carried the princess away and hurried to the front yard.

Halfway through, a shadow flashed by and stabbed the unconscious Princess Yong'an.

Princess Yong'an screamed even louder, "Ah, it hurts."

Her facial features were dislocated, her eyes were slanted and her mouth was crooked.

Shadow whispered, "Master's needle is magical."

The second prince listened to his sister Yong'an's voice which sounded like the howling of a wolf, frowned, and tilted his head towards the captain of the guards.

The captain of the guards left with a few guards, following the princess.

At night, Wu Yi put on a mask and took one of the second prince's guards to interrogate him, "Tell me, what happened to the princess later? If you tell me, I'll give you a piece of gold. If you don't, you'll die!"

"I'll tell you, don't kill me, sir." The guard quickly revealed, "The drug Princess Yong'an was given was too strong. It took a team of guards several hours to completely neutralize it."

"According to the imperial physician, the princess will never be able to conceive or give birth again."

"The princess has had a stroke and will walk with a limp from now on."

He curled his lips and said, "She became very ugly. She smashed countless bronze mirrors in the house and cried loudly."

Wu Yi secretly said: "Retribution!"

Wu Yi gave him a gold nugget and threatened: "If you dare to tell anyone what I said today, your whole family will die."

The guard took the gold and asked quietly, "Is this the person you replaced that day, hero?"

"What? You want to report me?" Wu Yi asked with his hands folded over his chest, snorting coldly.

"No, no, I just admire you." Seeing Wu Yi's generosity, the guard gave him gold bars right away and invited Wu Yi to a corner, where he spoke more words.

He first introduced himself, "My name is Qu Er, and I have only been working in the Second Prince's Mansion for two years."

"Speak up if you have something to say."

"I don't want to stay in the Second Prince's Mansion anymore. I want to leave. Can you help me?"

Wu Yi remained silent, staring at him coldly.

"You were the one who took Gan'er away, right? I want to leave like her."

"Oh, are you and Gan'er dating?" Wu Yi asked.

"Almost." Qu Er told the truth under Wu Yi's suspicious eyes, "I fell in love with her, but she didn't want to."

Wu Yi took the opportunity to suggest, "As long as you send me more news about the Second Prince, I will take you to see her. Maybe you will have a chance."

"Okay, deal." Qu Er smiled, his eyes narrowed into a line.

He continued to tell Wu Yi what happened that day:

The Second Prince pressed the Second Princess, "Did you set up this trap to marry the Princess of the Li Mansion?"

"No, Your Highness." The Second Imperial Concubine cried, and suddenly remembered the maid, and sent someone, "Go and get Gan Er to interrogate her, what happened?"

Gan'er was the second imperial concubine's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. When the incident happened, it was Gan'er who led Qi Wan to the guest room in the front hall, and then returned to the back hall to hug Qi Wan's fallen maid.

I looked everywhere for Gan'er, but there was no trace of him.

When we went to capture Gan'er's family, they had already disappeared.

"Whose is Gan'er and where did she go?" the Second Princess asked loudly. She couldn't explain herself even if she jumped into the river.

"Beat you to death, you traitor." The second prince beat the second imperial concubine severely and took away her power as housekeeper.

The second prince entered the palace again, knelt down and said to the emperor: "Father, Yongan has taken a fancy to Li Zhi. She is already over the age of 15, why not grant her a marriage?"

The emperor was worried about his younger brother Wang Qin, so he didn't care which mansion the unfavored princess married into.

As long as she doesn't marry a man who is too outrageous, the emperor will agree.

The emperor issued an imperial decree on the spot, "Princess Yong'an is to marry Li Zhi, and the wedding date will be chosen..."

Princess Yong'an was lying on the bed. When she heard the imperial decree granting her marriage, she burst into tears and said, "No, no, I will not marry Li Zhi. I want to marry my cousin Qin."

She threw things and hit the palace maids, and even made a scene before the Second Prince.

The second prince advised: "Yong'an, you should marry Li Zhi first, and then find an opportunity to marry your cousin Qin later."

"No, no, he will definitely marry that little bitch from the Qi family."

"He can't marry me, so I killed that little bitch."

The second prince whispered to his sister again, "How did you get into the room that day? Many people saw you in bed with Li Zhi, and someone in the Qin residence also saw it. How did you marry Qin Gaoming?"

Princess Yong'an took a double dose of drugs and lay in bed like a madman for several hours, completely forgetting what had happened before.

She only remembered, "I went to the purification room, and then it was like flying in the clouds..."

The second prince interrupted his sister and said, "Why don't you marry Li Zhi first? Then you can marry anyone else."

Princess Yongan pouted, "I don't like Li Zhi."

"It's just a temporary marriage."

The second prince frowned and advised, "Father's decree has been issued. If you don't marry, Father will get angry and it will be a big trouble. How did the third prince die? Did you see it?"

"Okay." Princess Yong'an agreed reluctantly while crying.

After hearing what Qu Er said, Wu Yi cursed, "You deserve it. You deserve it."
