The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

The guards responded and immediately stepped forward to shout to Yi Zhong, "Queen, wake up! The King is here! Queen! Queen, wake up!"

A few minutes later, the two people on the bed slowly woke up.

When Yi Zhong saw the woman and Zixuan beside him, he immediately jumped off the bed.

He screamed in shock: "What is going on! Who is this woman? Why is she sleeping in my bed?"

As soon as he finished shouting, he looked down and saw that he was standing naked in front of everyone.

She screamed again immediately, quickly threw herself onto the bed, and covered herself tightly with the quilt.

Zixuan blushed and pulled away Boyuan's big hand that was covering his eyes.

She feigned anger and shouted, "How dare you, Yi Zhong! How dare you secretly meet with a palace maid and debauch the harem! Come! Capture them both immediately!"

"Yes! Yes!" the guard agreed and hurried forward to hold the two men down.

At this moment, everyone heard someone outside the door shouting: "The Queen is here!"

Then the queen came in, supported by several maids.

When the queen saw the scene, she was stunned: "This, this, how dare you, Yi Zhong, do such a despicable thing! You are a waste of my high regard for you!"

"Mother, I am wronged. I don't know how this woman ended up sleeping in my bed. Woo woo woo."

Yi Zhongdu was so anxious that he cried and tried hard to defend himself.

At this moment, another guard came to report that this situation had also been discovered in the bedrooms of other palace lords.

After hearing this, the queen was almost mad and fainted. She immediately led Zixuan to the various palaces.

When she saw that there was a naked woman lying on the beds of these palace ladies, her anger grew even stronger.

So she ordered the guards to bring all these people to her bedroom so that she could interrogate them personally.

After everyone was brought over, the queen stared at them with icy eyes and angrily asked, "Tell me! How could you all do such filthy things in just one night!"

Immediately, all the palace lords cried out that they were innocent and kept defending themselves.

Yuan Ke walked up to the Queen and Zixuan with tears in his eyes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

Then he sobbed and complained, "My king, my mother, we were practicing on the court last night when we heard a commotion nearby and went to check."

"I found that many palace maids were celebrating the birthday of a palace maid. There were also a lot of fine wines, delicacies and cakes on the ground."

"When the palace maids saw me coming, they warmly invited us to celebrate their sister's birthday together."

"We couldn't refuse their hospitality, and being in the mood for fun, we ate and drank with them to celebrate. Maybe it was because we drank too much, but I don't remember anything that happened after that, wuwuwu..."

After hearing this, the queen turned her dagger-like gaze towards the palace maids and asked, "Did you seduce the palace lady last night and cause her to do such a shameful thing?"

The maids were all aggrieved and knelt down, shouting, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we are wronged."

"After celebrating my sister's birthday last night, the servants wanted to go back and rest."

"But the masters said they were drunk and couldn't walk, so they asked the servants to take them back to the palace."

"The servants dared not disobey orders, so they could only help their masters back."

“But when the slaves wanted to leave, the masters hugged the slaves.”

"They said they were lonely and unbearable, and asked us servants to stay with him. We dared not disobey, so we had no choice but to stay."

After hearing this, the queen glared angrily and shouted at the palace ladies, "Are you still crying out for injustice now? Look at what you have done!"

The palace ladies immediately knelt and kowtowed, their faces filled with horror as they said, "It's all my fault that I drank too much last night and can't remember anything. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

When the queen saw how pitiful these children looked, her anger subsided by half.

She turned her head and looked at Zixuan: "Xuan'er, what do you think, how should we deal with this matter?"

Zixuan's face was as gloomy as water. He lowered his head to think for a while, then looked at Boyuan.

When Bo Yuan saw Zixuan looking at him, he understood what she meant and knew that Zixuan was asking for his opinion.

Bo Yuan was also very confused at this time and didn't know what to do.

So he shook his head at Zixuan, indicating that he didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Bo Yuan remained silent, Zixuan waved his hand to the guards and ordered, "First, take the palace ladies back to their chambers and keep them under strict guard!"

"Without my order, they are not allowed to step out of the palace!"

“Yes! Yes!” The guard agreed and rushed everyone out of the bedroom.

The palace ladies all looked aggrieved and sad, and followed the guards dejectedly, slowly walking towards their own bedrooms.

When Zixuan saw that everyone had left, he asked the queen, "Mother, how do you think we should handle this matter?"

The queen sighed and said, "Alas, Xuan'er, this is not easy to handle. If one or two people were responsible for this, they would be beaten to death."

"But these fifty people all did the same thing. We can't just kill them all. If we do that, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the court."

Zixuan nodded: "Mother, Xuan'er thinks so too. Now that my Fugui City has just been put on the right track, the court has also begun to stabilize."

"If all these people were executed, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the ministers, and perhaps their loyalty to Fugui City would be greatly reduced."

"If that's the case, then the loss outweighs the gain."

"Well, Xuan'er, in your opinion, how should we deal with these people?" the queen asked with some concern.

Zixuan pretended to think for a moment and said, "Mother, how about this? Let's not punish the palace lords, but reward the palace maids they favored with personal service."

The queen shook her head after hearing this: "How can this be possible? If this happens, the rules of the palace will be disrupted."

"If outsiders knew about this, it would be disgraceful."

"Mother, rules are made by people. Xuan'er didn't say anything, so what can others do?"

"My daughter will issue an order tomorrow not to let this matter be spread outside the palace."

The queen thought for a moment and sighed helplessly, "Alas, at the moment, I don't have a good solution. I'll just let Xuan'er do what he wants."

The next afternoon, Zixuan and Boyuan ordered people to bring all fifty pairs of men and women to their own palaces.

She looked at everyone with a sullen face and said in a cold voice, "Last night! You dared to cuckold me! As many as fifty times!"

"It is truly a green meadow, a vast expanse of verdant green. Do you know what crime you have committed?"

Everyone was so scared that they couldn't sleep all night last night. They thought hard for a long time but still couldn't figure out what they had done.

Seeing Zixuan so angry, they were all frightened and trembling all over.

All of them knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, we know we are wrong. Please, Your Majesty, consider that this is your first offense and forgive us this time, Your Majesty, wuwu..."

"Haha, your queen has been cheated on! And you still want her to spare you! Now I will open two paths for you!"

"First, you will all be beaten to death, and your entire clan will be exiled and their property confiscated."

"Second, I will keep the palace maids by your side and serve you for the rest of your lives."

"Your bodies are no longer clean. From now on, I will no longer favor you!"

"Which of these two paths do you choose? It's up to you to decide!"
