What does this have to do with the Fifth Prince?

Seeing that his master had closed his eyes and remained silent, he did not dare to ask any more questions and could only keep his questions to himself.

It was already midnight when Ye Qingyu returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Qingyu getting off the carriage.

"Miss, you're fine."

"Well, is there anyone looking for me at Wanyan Pavilion?"

The master and his servants walked quickly towards Wanyan Pavilion.

Wan Qiu said, "Fortunately, there is no one here. Everyone in the mansion knows that you usually go to bed at this time."

As the two were talking, they saw a person suddenly appear in front of them.

"Ye Qingyu, it's so late, where have you been fooling around?"

Ye Qingyu was startled. Mo Hua and Mo Shu immediately stood in front of her and said, "Who are you? You're playing tricks on me!"

No matter who it is, they would be scared if a person in white clothes and disheveled hair suddenly appeared and blocked the road in such a dark night.

Ye Qingyu took a closer look. Under the dim candlelight, that sinister, red and swollen face could only be Lu Qianqian.

"Where I go is none of your business."

Lu Qianqian's ferocious face was filled with pride. "Haha, you're out fooling around in the middle of the night! I'll tell father right away!"

Ye Qingyu looked at her coldly, "Oh, then go quickly, don't block the road here, don't you know that a good dog doesn't block the road."

"Ye Qingyu!"

"You bitch! You're already engaged, yet you still dare to go out and fool around. The rumors out there about you being unfaithful to your husband seem to be true. Do you really think the Zhenguo Mansion can protect you forever? If the King of Chu knew that you were out fooling around in the middle of the night, I wonder who would protect you!"

Ye Qingyu said coldly, "Mo Shu, slap your face."

"Yes."

Mo Shu went up and slapped Lu Qianqian twice without saying a word.

"what!"

"Ye Qingyu! How dare you hit me! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Mo Shu kicked her to the ground and twisted her hands behind her back, "You're still trying to kill our young lady? I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Lu Qianqian turned her head, her eyes blazing with hatred. "Ye Qingyu, let me go! I'll definitely tell my father and punish you. Just wait, just wait!"

Ye Qingyu looked down at her, "Lu Qianqian, you still can't recognize the reality even at this point. Who do you think you are? Haha, you are really pitiful. Even if I beat you to death now, Lord Ye wouldn't dare to say anything."

Lu Qianqian roared, "You're talking nonsense! My father loves me the most, and so does the Fourth Prince. His Highness loves me the most. Ye Qingyu, if you dare to touch me, His Highness will not let you go!"

Ye Qingyu sneered, "Then let your loving father and your fourth prince come to me, Mo Shu, tie him up and take him to Wanyan Pavilion."

"Yes."

Lu Qianqian struggled and yelled, "Ye Qingyu, what are you going to do to me! I tell you,"

"Shut her mouth, she's making so much noise."

Mo Shu took out a handkerchief from somewhere and stuffed it directly into Lu Qianqian's mouth.

Ye Qingyu looked at Lu Qianqian's embarrassed appearance and sneered.

Originally, she really didn't have time to do anything to Lu Qianqian, but now she bumped into her hands, and if she didn't give her a good beating, it would be a shame for her courage to come to her and yell at her.

After throwing Lu Qianqian into the side room and locking her up, Ye Qingyu returned to her room to take a shower and change clothes. It was already late at night and she was indeed very tired today. She would wait until she woke up to deal with everything else.

Inside the palace, Shen Mingxiu lay on the bed, grimacing in pain, unable to move due to the pain all over his body.

He was covered in bruises, but not in a miserable state. Only his face was uninjured because he was holding his head. Although no bones were broken, the injuries did make him feel very uncomfortable. He had never been beaten like this in his life.

Shen Mingxiu's teeth itched in hatred, "Can you find out who did it?"

The guard standing at the head of the bed reported, "My subordinates were incompetent and failed to find out. No one passed by that alley that night, so no one saw it."

Shen Mingxiu angrily pounded the bed, causing the wound on his back to be pulled, making him grimace in pain, "Waste!"

The guard quickly knelt down and apologized, "It is my incompetence. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

At this moment, a young eunuch pushed the door open hurriedly.

"Your Highness, Mr. Yu from Laicai Casino sent a message this morning saying that the King of Chu went to Laicai Casino yesterday."

Shen Mingxiu's expression turned cold. "Why did you only send the news this morning about what happened yesterday?"

The father-in-law replied tremblingly, "Boss Yu got drunk while discussing business with someone yesterday and only sobered up this morning. As soon as he learned about this, he rushed in with the news."

Shen Mingxiu frowned, "Do you know what Shen Yanli is doing?"

Could it be that he discovered that he was the real boss behind Laicai Casino?

"It was said that it was for a woman. That woman made a deal with a gambling house in order to trick someone, and the King of Chu was protecting her."

A woman?

Could the woman related to Shen Yanli be Ye Qingyu?

Shen Mingxiu said coldly, "Let Boss Yu investigate the matter thoroughly and find out who that woman is."

"Yes."

Just as my father-in-law turned around and had not yet reached the door, someone suddenly pushed the door open and ran in in a panic.

"Your Highness, something's wrong. The Emperor has summoned you to the Imperial Study."

"Someone submitted a memorial to impeach you this morning."

Shen Mingxiu's expression was frighteningly cold. "Impeach me for what?"

"Impeach you for lacking personal morality and behaving inappropriately with a decent woman, hugging and kissing her. It's inappropriate!"

It seems that what happened between him and Lu Qianqian that day was reported to some nosy censor.

Shen Mingxiu gritted his teeth and endured the pain all over his body and stood up, "Change my clothes."

At this time in the imperial study.

The King of Chu, the Duke of Zhenguo, the Marquis of Qingyuan, and Censor Chen who submitted the impeachment memorial.

This Censor Chen was famous for his outspokenness and fearlessness of death.

This time, he not only impeached Shen Mingxiu, but also impeached Qingyuan Hou before that, impeaching him as a treacherous villain with corrupt character. He deceived people by saying that he had a child with a concubine, and later committed adultery with a married woman and gave birth to an illegitimate daughter. He was not worthy of the title of first-rank marquis, and asked the emperor to deprive him of his marquisate.

It was the first time in his life that Lord Ye entered the imperial study. He was so frightened that he was shaking all over, breaking out in cold sweats, and was almost unconscious.

Shen Mingxiu was supported by the eunuch and moved into the imperial study step by step with difficulty.

"My son has met my father."

Emperor Jingyou looked at him, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Mingxiu naturally didn't have the face to talk about being hit with a club, so he could only say, "I fell off my horse the day before yesterday."

Emperor Jingyou asked with concern, "Have you asked the imperial physician to check if there are any injuries to the bones?"

Shen Mingxiu said, "I'm sorry to have worried Father, but it's just some superficial injuries, nothing serious."

Censor Chen snorted coldly, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince knows he's made a mistake, and is resorting to self-torture."
