The east and west guest houses are two courtyards facing each other. As soon as Xu Rui arrived at the gate of the west courtyard, he met people who came to appreciate the flowers.

Seeing Jiang Xiyu with them, and with guests following behind her, Xu Rui was shocked and suddenly had a bad premonition.

If Xu Rong did something wrong, what if she was caught by these people?

Xu Rui didn't dare to think further and quickly saluted them.

"Your Majesty, are you sober now?" Princess Xumin asked him with a smile, not knowing what Xu Rui was thinking.

Xu Rui said respectfully, "His Majesty is still resting in the East Courtyard, and the Imperial Concubine has been accompanying him."

Hearing that the imperial concubine was with the emperor, Princess Xumin was no longer worried. "Then let him rest for a while. We won't disturb him. Let's just walk around the West Guest House."

Princess Xumin said this and led everyone into the West Guest House.

Xu Rui wanted to go up and stop them, but she couldn't find any reason. She wanted to go and lure them over, but she didn't expect that they came in a mighty way before she even left.

When he saw Xu Rui at the back also following, he felt very flustered.

But thinking that the princess and the others were already here, even if Xu Rui came, the matter was already a fait accompli, and he quickly calmed down.

Wonton crouched down and quietly approached the guest house, knocking gently outside.

This was all agreed upon between her and Xu Rong. Whenever they came, Wonton would secretly knock on the window to remind them.

"Ah!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Wonton knocked on the window, he heard Xu Rong's scream in the house.

Wonton was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, staring at the room in horror.

what happened?

Why are you calling me like that, miss?

What exactly happened in the house?

Could it be that the emperor is furious and wants to punish the young lady?

If the emperor really wants to investigate this matter, then she, the servant who drugged the emperor, will definitely be the first to be punished.

When he thought that he might be beheaded, or even his entire family would be executed and his entire clan would be implicated, Yuntun was covered in blood and had no strength left. He collapsed to the ground, his face pale.

Xu Rui saw the limp Wonton not far away, staring at her with a frown, and a raging fire burst out of his deep eyes.

Damn Xu Rong, if she really dares to do something weird to him today, then don't blame him for disregarding the relationship between brother and sister.

Not only Xu Rui recognized Xu Rong's scream, but Jiang Xiyu also recognized Xu Rong's voice, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.

The most exciting drama is finally about to begin.

Gulin caught a glimpse of the barely perceptible smile on Jiang Xiyu's lips, and his eyes darkened unconsciously.

"What's that sound?" Princess Xu Min and the others were also attracted by Xu Rong's scream and looked towards the guest room.

"It seems like the sound comes from that guest room." Princess Gui frowned and looked at the guest room with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

As a princess, she has seen a lot of dirty things in the harem. It is probably either a maid climbing into the bed or someone having a secret meeting with someone else. It is definitely not a clean thing.

Princess Xumin had naturally seen a lot of such things, but since they had heard them, she could not pretend not to hear them. Moreover, this was the house of her late imperial elder sister, and she could not allow anyone to do dirty things here.

"Let's go and take a look." Princess Xumin of Huayuan stopped strolling around and turned to walk towards the guest room.

Others followed to watch the fun.

Just as the nanny beside Princess Xumin was about to go forward to open the door, the door suddenly opened and a woman in disheveled clothes rushed out.

When they saw the woman's appearance clearly, everyone was stunned.

"It's Miss Xu."

"How could it be Miss Xu? I thought it was a maid from the Marquis' Mansion."

"Why is he still so disheveled? Miss Xu is in the house. Could something have happened?"

"Is there another man in the room?"

The guests looked at the disheveled Xu Rong and whispered to each other. Some of them even tiptoed into the room to see if there was a man hiding there.

When Xu Rong ran out, she was still frightened. But when she saw so many people at the door, including Princess Xu Min and King Qin, she was so frightened that she almost lost two and a half souls.

This was originally part of her plan. She asked Yuntun to lure Princess Xumin and others to the guest house and catch her committing adultery with Gu Wei. In this way, regardless of whether Gu Wei was willing to marry her or not, she could enter the palace smoothly.

But now all her plans have been shattered. Her plan was so perfect, but she didn't know which link had the problem. One wrong step led to all the wrong steps.

Xu Rong's mind was racing. She had to calm down and find a way to get through the biggest disaster of her life.

"Rong'er." Zheng was just far away. Although she felt that the voice sounded familiar, she didn't think of Xu Rong at all.

Just now, Xu Rong clearly said that she was going back to her own yard. Who would have thought that she would be in the room in the guest garden.

Zheng rushed forward, hugged Xu Rong, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Xu Rong shook her head, gathering her clothes while bowing to the Second Princess Xu Min and the others, "Your Highness, your Highness, the Second Princess, Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, the Princess of Gui, and Princess Yunling."

Princess Xumin looked at her disheveled appearance with some disgust, "How did you get into this state?"

Xu Rong pretended not to see.

"I drank too much at the banquet just now and am a little tipsy. Since I'm new to the Princess's residence and don't know the way around, I felt a little tired after arriving at this guest house, so I went in to rest for a while."

Princess Xumin clearly didn't believe her. "Then what were you shouting in the room just now?"

Xu Rong's eyes flashed with panic, and she lowered her eyes to hide it.

"I was halfway through my sleep when I saw a giant rat. That's why I screamed and ran out in panic. I didn't expect to disturb your highnesses' enjoyment of the flowers. I beg your forgiveness."

After hearing Xu Rong's explanation, the guests had different expressions. Some believed it, some didn't, but no one spoke.

Jiang Xiyu sneered in her heart. She didn't expect Xu Rong to be so smart.

As a member of the mansion and having just moved here, it was normal for her to rest in the guest house after she took the wrong path and was drunk.

Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Xu Rong, "Girl, you are always so reckless and make people laugh at you."

She was so scared that she thought something happened to her and her hand couldn't help but stroke her chest.

Just now, Xu Rui came to rest with Gu Wei. She was really afraid that Xu Rong would make a fool of herself in order to enter the palace and lose face for the Yonglin Marquis Mansion.

If she really did something shameful in front of so many guests, Xu Rui would definitely be furious. Even if she wanted to plead for Xu Rong, Xu Rui would not agree.

Xu Rong lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at Zheng. Now she only hoped that the people in the room could hear what she said and not run out to harm her.
