When everyone turned around, they saw Chu Ci being supported by a little maid. He looked very weak, slightly bent over, and his face was a little pale.

Madam Hou looked at Chu Ci in surprise, "Why are you here? What have you been doing?"

Chu Ci held her stomach and walked forward with difficulty. As she walked, she said, "Mother, I drank a glass of water in the bridal chamber. My stomach feels bad, so I went to wash up."

Chu Ci said it lightly, but from her difficult steps and pale face, it can be seen that the matter should be far more serious than she said.

Prince Rui looked at Chu Ci with amusement, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. This little fox acted quite convincingly. He obviously knew medical skills, and he acted so realistically about just one injection.

Prince Rui leaned against a pillar, his arms folded across his chest, looking at the crowd from afar, and suddenly laughed.

Chu Ci walked to the center of the crowd and pointed at two people lying shivering behind the quilt on the bed. "Who are they? Why are they still lying on my wedding bed?"

Everyone's attention returned to the two people on the bed.

"Yeah, the two people on the bed haven't shown up yet."

"Madam Hou must see clearly this time and not falsely accuse her own daughter."

"Exactly. No one else has said anything yet, but the mother is already throwing dirty water on her daughter."

After hearing what everyone said, Chu Ci couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth. Chu Ci made up her mind and, with the help of the little maid beside her to cover her, twisted her thigh hard.

He took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and his mouth dropped instantly, almost bringing tears to his eyes.

Feeling the pain, Chu Ci quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand. "So mother thought it was me inside. Don't worry, it's not your daughter. You made me worried."

As she spoke, Chu Ci's eyes turned red. Everyone knew that she was feeling wronged. The Marquis's wife's actions just now were really disheartening.

Seeing this, the Marquis's wife quickly diverted everyone's attention, "Madame Li, go and lift the quilt. I want to see who these two people are."

Nanny Li followed the order and went over, grabbed a corner of the quilt and lifted it up. Although she didn't pull the quilt down, it was enough to identify the identities of the two people.

"Prince? Second Miss Chu? Why are you two together?"

Without a word, the Duke walked over to the Crown Prince and slapped him. "Pa!" The sound echoed throughout the room. "Look at what you've done, you beast!"

Chu Xiao was so scared that she grabbed the quilt and hid behind Rong Ziyu. She put her arms around Rong Ziyu's arms and said, "Brother Yu, save me, Brother Yu."

When everyone saw this scene, they instantly understood everything. It was obvious that two people were having an affair and could not hold back any longer, so they had sex in the marriage bed and were caught.

When Chu Ci saw this scene, she collapsed directly into the arms of the little maid, her face turning even paler. "You actually did this kind of thing in my wedding room, on my wedding bed. Chu Xiao, you are my biological sister!"

Rong Ziyu finally reacted. He shook off Chu Xiao's hand, put on his clothes hastily through the quilt, looked at Chu Ci and explained anxiously, "No, no, we were framed. I didn't do anything. I don't know what happened at all."

As he explained, he thought about the fact that none of the links were favorable to him, "I was called here by your little maid."

Chu Xiao also put on her clothes, and crawled to Chu Ci's front while crying. "Yes, I came here to look for my sister, but I didn't see her, so I waited here for a while."

Everyone looked at Chu Ci. Could it be that she had set up a trap to frame these two people? What good would this do for her?

Chu Ci looked at Rong Ziyu in confusion, "After I drank this glass of water, my stomach became uncomfortable and I have been busy washing up. Several maids in the mansion saw it and can testify to it."

Several maids immediately stood up and knelt down, "This servant can testify."

Everyone was puzzled and looked at the glass of water that Chu Ci pointed at. "Call the court doctor. I want to see if there is anything bad or dirty in it."

Soon, the court doctor was called in and after a quick examination, he said, "Duke, someone has put a laxative in here."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Seeing everyone pointing and talking at her, Chu Xiao hurriedly explained. She waved her hands back and forth, hurriedly ran to the Duke and knelt down, tears streaming down her face. "No, no."

"Brother Yu and I were drugged. Someone wanted to harm us. We were being plotted against."

Rong Ziyu quickly responded, "Yes, let the court doctor check us out and we'll know."

When Duke Rong saw that the two people hadn't put their clothes in order, he couldn't bear to watch. He turned his head to the side and said, "Put your clothes in order."

He glanced at Chu Ci who was wiping away tears, and looked at the court doctor beside him, "Hurry up, go check on them both."

The court physician took the pulse of both men. He was not a fool and knew what outcome the Duke wanted.

He took the pulses of both men and soon nodded to the Duke, "Master, there is indeed some lingering effect of the drug on them."

The two of them took a deep breath. It would be embarrassing if they couldn't find out anything. If he knew who was behind this, he would definitely not let them off.

He first set his sights on Chu Ci, seeing her pale face and so many people watching her, it was impossible, could it be Prince Rui?

"Who is it? How dare you stir up such a commotion today? If our government finds out, we will definitely not let it go."

The court doctor looked around and finally fixed his sight on the burnt dragon and phoenix candles. "Master, it's about this pair of candles."

Everyone looked at the Duke, wanting to see if his mouth hurt. The atmosphere was awkward for a moment. It was obvious that the pair of dragon and phoenix candles were prepared by the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke scanned the entire room, and Lord Chu stood up. "Don't say too much for now. You need to give our Chu family an explanation. My little daughter was abused by the Crown Prince. What should we do?"

Everyone started talking again.

"Yes, both of them are legitimate daughters of the Chu family. What should we do?"

"What else can we do? Ehuang and Nvying."

"Then there must be a principal wife and a concubine. Now let's see which daughter of the Chu family is favored."

The Marquis's wife suddenly rushed out and hugged Chu Xiao in her arms, "My Lord, our Xiao'er has never suffered any hardship since she was a child, and this time she has suffered such a great loss. The principal wife must be our Xiao'er."

Prince Rui looked at Chu Ci. As things had developed to this point, he wanted to know how to deal with this little fox. The best solution now was for her to take the chair of the principal wife, and the one on the ground to become a concubine.

Chu Ci snorted inwardly and took a step forward. "Then let my daughter have a say."
