Cold-faced Empress

The palace maid, her face bruised and purple, trembled as she said, "It's...it's an aphrodisiac. After drinking it, you'll lose your mind, become incredibly strong, and only want to...to do that kind of thing with others. If you don't receive comfort within half an hour, you'll be...burned into a fool!"

Ah!

Inside the room, Fu Siying almost burst out laughing.

If you don't act, you'll be burned into an idiot? This isn't poison, it's probably Lao Tzu's Samadhi Fire!

This is a cleverly crafted story, attempting to portray Ning Ruicheng as a hero who saves a damsel in distress. And not only did she force Ning Ruicheng to humiliate her, but afterwards she was supposed to be extremely grateful to him, thanking him profusely for saving her life?

She's so despicable!

Of course, some people believed this clumsy explanation, like Rong Chen, who did, his gaze fixed fiercely on the door. If he knew who the real culprit was, he'd probably pounce on them right now to avenge his elder sister.

Outside, Hu Lingjing and the other women exclaimed in alarm at the potency of the poison.

Consort De asked, feigning nonchalance, "Prince Mu, why don't you dismiss all the irrelevant people and go inside to take a look?"

For some reason, Mo Canglan showed no anxiety or anger. It was unclear whether he was truly cold-blooded and ruthless or simply didn't take Fu Siying seriously at all.

He said, "Open the door."

Upon hearing him say "open the door," Consort De's eyes immediately lit up: "Good! Men, break down the door!"

Seeing the door begin to rattle, Fu Siying immediately pulled Rong Chen aside, grinding her teeth and cursing under her breath, "You cold-blooded devil, how dare you be so indifferent to my reputation. Just you wait!"

The thin wooden door was knocked down by the palace servants in just a few moments.

The room was silent. Consort De stood outside the door and said to Mo Canglan, "Would Prince Mu please go first?"

Mo Canglan remained unmoved: "Since His Majesty has ordered Your Highness to take charge, it is only natural that Consort De should go first."

What's there to be modest about in this situation! Hu Lingjing impatiently nudged Consort De's lower back and said with ill intent, "Sister, hurry up and come in, maybe Fu Siying can still be saved."

Consort De feigned reproach and slapped Hu Lingjing's hand away before stepping over the threshold.

Without Consort De's order to stop them, the people behind them filed in, as many as they could enter.

The room was packed with people, countless eyes fixed on the shared sleeping platform. A tattered cloth hung around the platform as a curtain, and although there was no sound coming from inside, everyone was captivated.

Mo Canglan also entered the house, but he didn't seem to care or rush at all. He leisurely looked around at the furnishings and decorations in the room.

Finally, he picked up a few sheets of paper from the table, glanced at them, and then stood in front of a tall cabinet, staring coldly at the actions of Consort De and the others.

Seeing that Prince Mu was standing far away, Consort De said no more and coldly snorted, "Lift the curtain!"

With a "whoosh," the palace servants lifted the tattered curtain, and everyone gasped upon seeing the scene inside!

"hiss……"

The women Hu Lingjing brought were stunned for a moment, then screamed and ran away.

Hu Lingjing stared in disbelief, forcing herself to suppress her nausea as she turned to look at Consort De, her voice hoarse with alarm: "Where is Fu Siying! Why is Ning Ruicheng the only one here?!"

Ning Ruicheng lay naked, a pile of vomit around his mouth, a pool of white, sticky fluid on his lower body. He groaned and moaned in agony, twisting and turning, his buttocks twitching. He touched himself, stroking his entire body, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Consort De frowned, glanced around the room, and found that Fu Siying was indeed nowhere to be seen. She immediately grabbed Hu Lingjing's arm and personally led her out of the house.

"Don't you know shame? Why aren't you coming out? Stop standing there!"

"I've been following you the whole time, and you're only telling me now, sis!"
