When Qianlong had fully understood the whole story, he gently rubbed his slightly wrinkled brow and said with a headache, "If that's the case, then Yongqi will take her as a concubine! Madam, Xiaoyanzi, come with me."

Hearing the word "concubine," Xiaoyanzi's eyes widened, glaring fiercely at Yongqi and the woman. "Hmph, how dare you deceive me! I'll definitely give you a good beating when I get back."

When no one else was around, Fu Erkang lowered his voice and questioned Yongqi with a puzzled look on his face, "What's going on with you? How did she appear in your room? How can you be worthy of Xiaoyanzi by doing this?"

Faced with his friend's questioning, Yongqi went crazy. He motioned Cailian to go back to her room, then scratched his smooth head vigorously, trying to sort out his chaotic thoughts.

"I really have no idea! I only remember that it was extremely hot last night, and when I woke up again, I had become like this. By the way, why did the master call Xiaoyanzi over?"

Falcon's eyes flickered as he quickly glanced at Ertai, who stood beside him in silence, his head bowed. This guy hadn't come home all night, so he must have accomplished his goal.

So Falcon whispered, "I don't know. Madam went to Xiaoyanzi's room just now. Maybe she said something to the master?"

Yongqi looked worried as he stared at the closed door, feeling uneasy.

Ziwei looked at Yongji who was eating with relish, and heard the conversation of those people in her ears. Did these three people really think that no one would hear them if they spoke quietly?

"Xiaoyanzi, tell me, who was the man you were with last night?" Qianlong looked at his daughter whom he had doted on for so long, suppressing his inner anger.

"Master, what a scoundrel! You have to help me find out who hit me last night. I'm in so much pain." Xiaoyanzi wrapped her arms around herself and glared at the queen beside her. "Did you say something to the master?"

Bang, a slap hit Xiaoyanzi's face.

Qianlong pointed at Xiaoyanzi and angrily scolded her, "Even after all this, you are still so outspoken. If you dare to say that about Xian'er again, I will beat you with a stick. Tell me quickly, who was the man you were with last night? You are so bold as to defile a royal princess."

Xiaoyanzi covered her cheeks and looked at Qianlong in disbelief. "Father Emperor, I am your most beloved daughter, and you actually want to beat me for this woman. What's with the lingering and defilement? Father Emperor, what are you talking about?"

"Pah!" A slap landed on Xiaoyanzi's other cheek. "What woman? She's the Queen Mother, your Empress Dowager, your elder. Who is that man?"

The last question was so loud that even people in the lobby heard it and looked upstairs.

Ziwei covered her face, wondering if Qianlong would ever lower his voice. She winked at Ji Yun and the others beside her, and they all stood up to drive the innkeepers away.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the inn, and they all left the inn happily with their silver. Ji Yun and his men stood guard at the gate of the inn, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

"Xiaoyanzi, which man stayed overnight in your room?" Qianlong took a sip of tea and continued to yell.

Yongqi stared in disbelief, "What does this mean, Father Emperor? What do you mean a man is spending the night in Xiaoyanzi's room?" He looked at the Fu brothers.

Falcon and Forte looked back at him with bewildered expressions.

Ziwei scoffed. It turned out that even bitches have acting talent. It's just that their acting is so poor that only Yongqi, a fool, can't see it.

"No, I have to go and take a look and find out what's going on." Yongqi walked upstairs anxiously and was hugged from behind by Falcon and the other man.

"Yongqi, wake up! Xiaoyanzi still doesn't know what's going on. If you go up there like this, what will the Emperor and the others think? What will happen to Xiaoyanzi's reputation?"

The Queen looked at the bewildered Xiaoyanzi, who seemed completely baffled. She couldn't help but sigh heavily, then lowered her voice and explained to her as patiently as possible, "Xiaoyanzi, every girl has her wedding night. It's a necessary stage in the process of growing from a girl to a woman. And now, it's obvious that you have already encountered such a thing. You have been flirted with by a man... by a man. If you refuse to reveal the truth, how can your father arrange a marriage for you? Worse still, what if you get pregnant? This matter must be handled swiftly. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, not only will it damage the reputation of the royal family, but you will also find it difficult to get married again!"

After hearing the Queen's words, Xiaoyanzi, who had been naive, finally understood. She had hidden outside other people's newlyweds' rooms and eavesdropped on their conversations before, so she had some understanding of what it meant to lose a woman's virginity.

But why did this happen? Which abominable fellow had done such a beastly thing to her? Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi took two steps back as if struck by lightning, her face turning extremely pale.

Last night, Yongqi had been with that woman named Cailian, so this man couldn't possibly be Yongqi. At this thought, Xiaoyanzi's heart suddenly sank into an abyss of agony. How would she face Yongqi for the rest of her life? How could she finally marry him?

What she could think of, Qianlong and the Empress could naturally think of as well. Besides Yongqi, the only young men traveling with them were the Fu brothers. Of course, the possibility of outsiders was not ruled out, but that was not as high as this one.

"Folkan, Forte, get in here." An angry roar came from the sky. Forte's legs went weak and he almost fell down. He was very panicked.

Fu Erkang quickly supported him and explained at Yongqi's suspicious look, "Ertai's legs probably weakened because he's been standing for too long. He hasn't even had breakfast yet."

Yongqi nodded and said, "Hurry up, the Emperor is very angry."

The Fu brothers were greeted by a teacup when they entered the room. "Tell me, which of you two went to Xiaoyanzi's room last night?"

They quickly knelt on the ground, Ertai's hands trembling slightly as he supported himself. Erkang said in panic, "Last night, after we waited for Yongqi and the others to come back and had dinner together, we all went back to our rooms and didn't leave until this morning. Did something happen to Xiaoyanzi?"

Qianlong snorted coldly, "Then drag both of you out and chop you off. I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go. The majesty of the imperial family cannot be compromised."

"No, it wasn't me, Your Majesty, you can't kill me." Forte was horrified and collapsed to the ground, shouting in horror.

It was over, and Falcon collapsed.
