Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

The guard trembled, but still told Feng Mingjing based on his own deduction.

"Yes, Miss Xiao took poison."

Xuan Hua trembled all over, her face filled with grief and indignation as she pointed at the guard and shouted, "You're talking nonsense! Our young lady was poisoned by Bai Shuangliu. You yourself said that this poison is rare, yet you were able to produce an antidote. After poisoning her, you shamelessly accused our young lady of taking poison in order to escape responsibility. This is outrageous!"

Snapped--

The guard's slap came unexpectedly, landing directly on Xuan Hua's face. The force was so great that she felt countless stars spinning around her head, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Xuanhua! You've gone too far..."

Zi Hua hurriedly hugged her, glaring at the guard with fire in her eyes.

Snapped--

Then she herself was slapped.

However, this time it wasn't the guards who hit him, but Feng Mingjing. "You lowly servants, how dare you bark so arrogantly in my presence!"

Feng Mingjing was extremely cruel, beating Zi Hua until she coughed up blood and fainted. His words were even more insulting, which made the two maids feel ashamed and indignant.

Feng Mingjing kicked Xiao Fengyi's body, looking down at her, "Since you don't want to expose Ninth Prince, then you can wait to be implicated in the iron hoarding incident with him. Without Ninth Prince as your backer, let's see who comes to your rescue!"

Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish. Feng Mingjing was exceptionally confident, believing that he could bring down the Ninth Prince even without Xiao Fengyi as a pawn.

"Seventh Prince, why are you so angry?"

Xiao Qingyin somehow entered Qixia Courtyard, and she didn't know how she found out where Xiao Fengyi was. After entering the room, she snuggled into the arms of the furious man.

When she saw Xiao Fengyi lying there, she pretended to be shocked, as if she had been greatly frightened.

"Seventh Prince, what happened to my sister? Why is her face covered in bruises?"

Feng Mingjing, holding the woman in his arms, said impatiently, "Hmph, your sister committed suicide by poisoning herself, and you still want to frame my guard."

Xuan Hua regained her senses, glared at the guard who had hit her, her chest heaving, but she remained silent.

She was afraid that if she spoke, the guard would hit her again.

The guard didn't say anything, but let out a long sigh of relief, hoping he had escaped unscathed.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from somewhere, knocking everyone in the room unconscious. Feng Mingjing and Xiao Qingyin both disappeared.

The guard had just been thanking his lucky stars for escaping, but now he could only crawl on the ground, using his not-so-clear mind to figure out who had taken the Seventh Prince away.

Before he lost consciousness, everything spun around him. All he could see were Xiao Fengyi and his two servants lying under the green curtain. Even the maid he had slapped had fainted.

It was all a trap. From the moment His Highness decided to stay overnight at Qixia Courtyard, the Xiao family had already set him up.

After the guard fainted, Xiao Fengyi, who was lying next to him, opened her eyes and smiled.

Haha, Shen finally managed to capture Feng Mingjing and Xiao Qingyin. It seems she wasn't wrong. Shen really wanted to take this opportunity to get that man to give her daughter a proper status.

The methods were rather unorthodox, but they were a lucky accident in dealing with that bastard Feng Mingjing.

That bitch Feng Mingjing dared to call her maid lowly; she's practically asking for death!

"Hey, could you please carry the sedan chair a little more gently? Don't wake the Seventh Prince." Madam Shen led two small sedan chairs toward the main bedroom of Qixia Courtyard, worried that her men might not be gentle enough and wake Feng Xingye.

Bi Shu walked on the other side of the sedan chair and asked, "Madam, what if the Emperor doesn't come tomorrow morning if we put the Seventh Prince and the Second Miss in the same room so that he can catch them in the act? What if the Seventh Prince doesn't admit it and doesn't give the Second Miss a proper status? What if the Seventh Prince says that our Xiao family framed him and complains to the Emperor?"

To be honest, Madam Shen was also worried about these things, but since it had already been done, she decided not to worry about anything else.

Looking at the door that was about to be reached, Madam Shen seemed determined to go all the way.

"There are too many problems. Fortune favors the bold. As long as we get through tonight, Qingyin will be the Seventh Prince's consort. Don't think about anything else that is not important."

Since Madam has said so, no one, including Bishu, could say another word. They could only pray to Heaven for mercy and that Madam's wish would be granted.

bang-

After the servants opened the door, Madam Shen instructed the maids and servants to place Xiao Qingyin and Feng Xingye on the bed.

After the two were placed on the bed, Madam Shen dismissed the servants and asked, "Have you settled the Seventh Prince's guards?"

"It's all settled in." The servant said to her with particular pride, eager to take credit.

"In terms of strength, we can't beat the guards around the Seventh Prince, but we can drink. The few jars of mellow wine that Madam brought really did a great job, making those guards drink to their hearts' content, and then they passed out."

Madam Shen glanced at the master bedroom, let out a long sigh, and said to the servants, "You are the ones who have done a great service. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to enter the Seventh Prince's room so easily."

She is absolutely right.

If the servants hadn't gotten the guards drunk, those guards would have stood at the door of the master bedroom, and the Seventh Prince might have been able to come in. But Qingyin wouldn't have had a chance at all; she would have been chased away by the guards as soon as she stepped outside the room.

"Madam, are we really going to strip the Second Miss and the Seventh Prince naked?"

After the servants left, Madam Shen looked nervously toward the gate, as if she were afraid that Feng Mingjing's strong and powerful guards would come back again. She even forgot that there were actually two more important people in the room who needed her hospitality.

Xiao Qingyin and Feng Mingjing are the most important protagonists in this matter; she has put the cart before the horse.

Before turning around, Madam Shen closed the door tightly and shouted at the maids, "Strip them naked! Strip both of them naked! Don't let anyone find a single flaw, otherwise, it won't work!"

By the end, Madam Shen was clearly getting impatient. Seeing the maid's slow and hesitant manner, she immediately went to the bed, lifted the curtain, and personally began to strip the Seventh Prince of his clothes.

As she ripped it open, she scolded the maid beside her.

"Have I been neglecting to feed you? Why are you all so dull-witted?"

Actually, these maids are usually quite clever, but after all, they are all young girls who have never been married. Asking them to strip a man of his clothes is really asking too much, especially since this is not an ordinary man, but the seventh prince of the current emperor. If something bad happens, they don't want to take full responsibility.

After finally managing to take off Feng Mingjing's clothes, Madam Shen handed them to the maid next to her.
