Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

After receiving Xie Zhiyi's accurate reply, the Ninth Prince acted very quickly.

The next day, he explained the matter to Emperor Jingzhao.

Emperor Jingzhao was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

But he immediately refused.

The Ninth Prince knew why his father disagreed, so he explained to Emperor Jingzhao, "Father, a few days ago Miss Xie said that she gave Master Jianhui the wrong birth date and time, which is why this misunderstanding occurred."

Emperor Jingzhao was skeptical upon hearing this: "Oh? The birth chart can be wrong?"

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince confidently declared, "If Father does not believe me, he can personally send someone to verify with Master Jianhui, and the Imperial Observatory can also calculate Miss Xie's birth chart."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingzhao agreed to wait until he had verified the information before making a decision.

A few days later, Emperor Jingzhao personally sought confirmation from Master Jianhui.

After the Imperial Observatory staff calculated Xie Zhiyi's birth chart, they all said that it was very auspicious and that he and the Ninth Prince were a match made in heaven.

Only then did Emperor Jingzhao finally believe it, completely eliminating his last remaining doubts.

He was originally quite satisfied with Xie Zhiyi herself, and had even considered making her his daughter-in-law.

He thought it was impossible, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and she ended up being his daughter-in-law.

He was, of course, very satisfied with this; one could say he was extremely satisfied.

Of course, Consort Min and the Seventh Princess were also very satisfied.

Both parties were extremely satisfied.

Lord Xie and his wife were very satisfied with this excellent son-in-law.

Emperor Jingzhao immediately issued an edict to grant the two a marriage and set the wedding date for the end of the year.

As soon as the news came out.

Furthermore, just a few days ago, Master Jianhui personally clarified the misunderstanding and said that Xie Zhiyi's birth chart is extremely rare and auspicious.

So everyone naturally felt that the two were a match made in heaven and offered their blessings.

The only ones who are unhappy are probably the families who covet Princess Ping and the families who have feelings for Xie Zhiyi.

Lingyan was naturally very happy for Xie Zhiyi after receiving this news.

Seeing my friends find happiness one by one makes me truly happy.

But just as she was feeling happy, she received news that made her very unhappy.

The reason was that several纨绔 (spoiled brats) from Xiao Muyao's maternal grandfather's family, the Chengde Marquis's Mansion, would not pay for the entertainment activities and meals at the amusement park.

They even loudly proclaimed that they were His Highness the Crown Prince's cousins, since the entertainment center was owned by the Crown Princess.

So they are naturally a family.

Since we're all family, there's no need to be so polite and offer money; that would be too formal.

Not only that, they even harassed her female employees, especially those who had redeemed themselves from Liuchunlou.

In fact, some people had already recognized these people who used to work at Liuchunlou, but they just didn't say it.

Firstly, they dared not speak out, neither about their status as the Crown Princess nor their fear of letting their families know that they had visited brothels.

Another point is that there's no need to say it; she's no longer a prostitute but a respectable woman from a good family, so there's no need for them to make it clear.

Besides, even the Crown Princess doesn't mind, so why should they go to all this trouble?

Unexpectedly, these people shouted it out, and now everyone knows.

The girls at Liuchunlou were filled with shame and indignation, and did not want to affect the Crown Princess because of themselves.

Furthermore, since they were all the Crown Prince's cousins, none of them dared to resist.

But Yang Huan didn't tolerate them and had no scruples whatsoever.

His eyes were cold and he showed no fear. He immediately ordered the guards to throw those spoiled brats out.

It was also clearly stipulated that people from the Chengde Marquis's residence were prohibited from entering or leaving the entertainment center in the future.

Those spoiled brats were enraged by Yang Huan's disrespect and shouted outside the gate that they would teach Yang Huan a lesson.

Yang Huan just smiled coldly, not taking them seriously at all. Who did they think they were?

It was nighttime, and Lingyan and Xiao Muyao learned everything that had happened during the day.

Lingyan was naturally very angry.

They dared to harass people on her turf; let's see how she deals with them.

So she immediately ordered her guards to teach them a lesson.

They've cut off their manhood; let's see if they dare to harass and harm women again.

At this moment, Xiao Muyao looked at Ling Yan and sighed, "I was originally planning to deal with them later, but it seems they can't wait any longer."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said, "I thought they were relatively well-behaved before. Although they indulged in drinking, gambling, and whoring, they didn't dare to go too far. But now that I've just become the Crown Prince, they're so eager to court death. Who knows what kind of outrageous things they'll do in the future? Rather than harming others and ourselves later, it's better to deal with them once and for all now. What do you think?"

Lingyan, of course, wholeheartedly agrees!

So she smiled and replied, "I think it's great!"

So the two of them went to the Chengde Marquis's residence the next day.

At that time, the mansion was in chaos because of those few playboys whose manhood had been chopped off. Screams, shouts, cries and curses were heard everywhere, and the place was in complete disarray.

Upon receiving news of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's arrival, everyone immediately went to the main hall to greet them.

Of course, this excludes those few spoiled brats who lost their manhood and can't get out of bed.

At this moment, the group hurriedly arrived at the hall, bowed to Lingyan and Xiao Muyao, and then...

Marquis Chengde looked at Lingyan with hostility and asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, was it Your Highness who ordered my good-for-nothing grandsons to be turned into eunuchs?"

Lingyan showed no fear whatsoever, replying with a smile, "Of course it was me who did it. Is it that hard to guess? They bullied my people, so can't I retaliate?"

Marquis Chengde had long suspected that she was responsible, and he also knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had tacitly approved of her actions.

However, when this cruel fact was finally confirmed, he still could not suppress his anger and heartache.

For a moment, she lost her usual composure and asked, "If they made a mistake, the Crown Princess could have simply taught them a small lesson. Why make them lose their fertility? Don't you think that's too cruel?"

Lingyan sat quietly at the head of the table, admiring her newly done nails.

She didn't even raise her head when questioned by the Marquis of Chengde, replying lazily and coldly, "Cruel? Is this cruel? I haven't even taken their lives yet! Besides, I am the Crown Princess, and I'd be happy to make them childless, so what?"

Upon hearing this, not only did the Marquis of Chengde turn ashen-faced, but everyone else present was so angry they almost vomited blood.

Looking at Ling Yan's arrogant, domineering, and overbearing demeanor, they were filled with indescribable anger and helplessness.

Lady Chengde was trembling with rage. Pointing at Lingyan, her voice trembled with tears, "You... how could you be so cruel... to be the Crown Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan maintained her lazy and nonchalant demeanor.

She raised her eyes slightly, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "I am not qualified to be the Crown Princess? You are not qualified to judge this matter. My position as Crown Princess was personally bestowed upon me by the Emperor. If you are not satisfied, you may go and explain to the Emperor yourself."

Seeing that she was about to continue her unreasonable nagging, Lingyan had already lost patience with her.

So she said softly, "Do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards poured out like ghosts.

Amidst the bewildered and frightened gazes of the crowd, they swiftly and accurately administered a pill to each person.

The five spoiled young men who were unable to get out of bed due to their injuries were also roughly dragged into the hall by the guards and forced to take poison together.

The people of the Chengde Marquis's mansion had no power to resist and could only watch helplessly as they were forced to take the unknown poison.

Their hearts were instantly filled with fear and despair.

Moments later, the poison took effect on everyone.

They collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.

In an instant, cries of pain, screams, curses, and pleas for mercy mingled together, plunging the once quiet place into chaos and despair.

They were in excruciating pain all over their bodies, screaming and crying out in agony, feeling like they were dying and coming back to life. It was a horrific sight, their intestines were churning and their hearts were breaking.

The agonizing screams were heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching.
