The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Chapter 113 Femme Fatale

"what……"

"Woo..."

Prince Rui was half lying on the floor, being stepped on by Fei Wan.

The other half of his body was hanging in the gap, swaying.

His head was repeatedly pressed into the water and then pulled out, choking him so much that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Nor can I call for help.

He had no idea what was going on.

who am I?

where am I?

What's wrong with me?

Who did this to me?

In a moment, he was choked and passed out.

It couldn't struggle any more and was as limp as a dead fish.

"My lord, be careful of someone's death."

A force in the water lifted King Rui's head.

Then a little head popped up. It was Jasmine, the little palace maid who was ordered by Fei Wan to pick willow branches and make a flower crown.

The floor of the Bibo Pavilion was loosened by her coming here in advance and then suddenly pulled out.

She was a good swimmer and she broke off a piece of reed to breathe underwater, so she was always supporting in the water.

Seeing that Prince Rui had fainted, he quickly reminded Fei Wan to stop.

Fei Wan stopped as she was told.

Although she really wanted to continue to torture Prince Rui, she had heard of an incident in her previous life where this dog prince forcibly took the newlywed wife of a minor official, causing the man's family to be broken up.

So even if she killed him, she deserved it.

But at the moment, she doesn't have the ability to kill the prince without taking responsibility.

A small punishment is a big warning, but it should be stopped in time.

Jasmine emerged from the water and together with Fei Wan, dragged King Rui out of the water and laid him down on the floor.

When Jasmine put the removed floor back in place, Fei Wan also stepped heavily on King Rui's stomach, squeezing out the water he had choked on.

"Cough cough..."

Prince Rui woke up with painful coughing.

When I opened my eyes, I saw several shadows flashing before my eyes. It seemed to be a beauty, but also like a ghost.

He was dazed and hadn't realized what was happening.

Then Fei Wan's gentle voice sounded:

"Oh, Your Highness, you don't seem to be a good swimmer. Why did you insist on showing me your heroic swimming skills? If I hadn't rescued you in time, I wouldn't be able to pay for anything that had happened to you. I was so scared!"

At this time, no matter how gentle Fei Wan was, Prince Rui gradually came to his senses and dared not trust her anymore.

He remembered.

It was Concubine Zhao who suddenly took the initiative to hug him, and then...

Then he choked on the water!

"Gourd... Gourd..."

He called for help with difficulty.

"Your Highness, please send your followers far away. He won't be able to hear you. Besides, he might think we can't finish the job for a while and won't come to serve us." Fei Wan smiled.

Prince Rui's vision became clearer, and he felt that Fei Wan was like the Painted Skin Ghost in the opera, seemingly beautiful but actually scary.

He suddenly saw the palace maid beside Fei Wan again.

Why does she have a maid to help her? Where did this maid come from?

He was alone and weak, and he was afraid...

"How dare you be so disrespectful to me? I will tell the Queen Mother and my brother. Just wait..."

He sat up unsteadily, his body feeling weak and unable to attack Fei Wan.

But verbal threats are inevitable.

How could he, a prince, the empress dowager's beloved son, and the emperor's brother, suffer such injustice!

"Oh, you must tell His Majesty."

"Your Majesty has removed all the Queen's power for my sake."

"Tell me, if he knew you dared to molest me, would he hate you even more?"

"As for the Queen Mother, she certainly hates me and wants to find a crime to execute me. If the prince accuses me of seducing you, I will definitely die."

"What do you propose?"

The last question was asked to Jasmine.

Jasmine was terrified and trembled as she said, "If the young lady is punished, I, your servant, will not survive. Why don't we just throw the prince into the water and drown him? Just say he fell in the water accidentally, so he won't complain."

"good idea."

Fei Wan applauded.

He also instructed, "Since he's dead, his clothes and accessories are very valuable. Take them off and sell them quietly. He won't need them anyway."

So Jasmine took off King Rui's shoes and socks and stuffed both socks into King Rui's mouth to block his mouth.

Then they untied King Rui's belt, handkerchief, hairband, purse belt, and all rope-like objects. While his hands and feet were weak and unable to resist, they took off all his clothes, leaving only a pair of cowhide pants.

Then he was tied up.

Bundled into rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Then, he opened a window facing the water.

Prince Rui was frightened to death.

Tears streamed down my face.

I was afraid that these two crazy women would throw him into the water immediately.

Then he will definitely die.

This area is deserted and sparsely populated, but no one came to rescue him!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

With the smelly socks stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't utter a word and could only retch.

There was no way to even beg for mercy.

He widened his eyes and looked at Fei Wan in horror.

Fei Wan felt that it was about time.

Don't scare him to death directly, that would be difficult.

So he asked him with a smile: "Does Your Majesty still want to complain?"

King Rui shook his head desperately.

"Then don't regret it. If I let you go and you complain later, I won't have the chance to regret it."

What should I do then? Prince Rui looked at her pleadingly.

Fei Wan rolled up the clothes and shoes he had taken off, tied them up, and threw them directly into the water through the window.

thump.

The fabric was soaked with water, and with the weight of the shoes, it quickly sank to the surface and disappeared from view.

Then she and the palace maid Jasmine worked together and used a handkerchief to hang Prince Rui on the beam of the pavilion.

Although the sweat towel is not long, fortunately the pavilion is not high.

Prince Rui was hung with his hands tied behind his back, one foot off the ground, swaying unsteadily.

After closing the window, Fei Wan kindly said, "Your Highness is not wearing any clothes, so don't open the window and let the wind blow."

"Your Majesty, please wait here for the attendants to come and find you. I will be leaving first."

"I hope that next time we meet, Your Highness will not remember what happened today. Anyway, I don't remember it either."

After saying this, he cut the back of King Rui's neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious.

Jasmine dug up the floor, put it back in place after re-entering the water, and ran away quietly.

The reason why King Rui was not told about Jasmine's comings and goings was to prevent King Rui from having any way to prove that Fei Wan had helpers if something happened.

And Fei Wan, who is so weak and frail, how could she possibly hang up the tall and strong King Rui?

It's clearly a false accusation!

Naturally, Fei Wan was not afraid that King Rui would report her later.

A prince was stripped naked and hung in a waterside pavilion.

This was on the day of the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet.

Can he afford to lose this person?

He couldn't identify Fei Wan, and he would lose face. Fei Wan guessed that there was an 80% or 90% chance that he wouldn't dare to speak out.

After all, others may not know, but Fei Wan, who has lived through a lifetime, knows—

Prince Rui covets the throne!

Would he allow himself to be tainted by a romantic scandal and cause a scandal where he was naked and tied up in the palace at the Queen Mother's birthday party?

That would be a huge setback for his future dream of ruling the world.

As for the remaining 10% or 20% possibility...

In case King Rui is really not afraid of embarrassment and makes a fuss, or thinks of other ways to deal with her, Fei Wan is willing to take the risk.

Life.

Sometimes, you have to plan carefully and take every step cautiously.

Sometimes, there is no need to look ahead or behind.

Give it a try, do it boldly, just for the sake of pleasure!

"My lady, this is the flower crown you requested."

A quarter of an hour later, Fei Wan was already sitting next to the rockery on the other side of Taiye Lake, taking a leisurely rest.

Jasmine quickly changed into dry clothes and wove a willow wreath to bring over.

The palace maids all provide the same service, so it is easy to find a spare set.

Her hair didn't get wet when she entered the water, only because she had a swimming mask with her.

She knew exactly what she was capable of and what she needed to provide for the young lady, so she always had all the necessary tools ready.

It will be used today.

"You made a crown of willow branches, and you added flowers to it."

Fei Wan picked up the flower crown, played with it, and praised it casually.

From here, you can see the Bi Bo Pavilion on the other side of the lake.

One could vaguely see that King Rui's follower Hulu was still wandering on the shore, watching the wind, completely unaware that his master was in danger.

Fei Wan was able to walk past the gourd without being noticed because Jasmine made a noise after coming out of the water, which lured the gourd away.

At this moment, the attendant probably still thought that his prince and the concubine were having a secret meeting in the pavilion!

Fei Wan saw that there was nothing unusual at Bi Bo Pavilion, so she prepared to leave and meet up with Xiang Yi and the others.

Wear the flower crown on your head.

She stood up and praised Jasmine for her dexterity.

"Skillful or ruthless?"

Suddenly, a playful laugh sounded above my head.

Fei Wan was startled.

I never expected there were other people here.

She actually has pretty good hearing.

Jasmine is skilled in martial arts and has a keen sense of hearing.

But neither of them noticed there was someone above their heads.
