The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Two pale, naked bodies were still intimately entwined on the bed, oblivious to the fact that they were being watched.

"Guards, drag Su Fuying and her lover down here."

Ren Yinxue's tone carried a hint of excitement, wondering if the Regent would still look at her after this.

So engrossed in his own world, he didn’t see Mrs. Ren, whose face had turned pale, standing to the side.

At this moment, Madam Ren thought to herself that it was all over. She had thought that the man's voice sounded familiar. Looking at the clothes on the ground, she saw that they were made of the finest brocade and exquisite gold embroidery, clearly the work of the Imperial Household Department.

The only person who can hold this position, besides His Majesty, is that one other person.

Just as she was about to speak to stop him, she heard a puzzled voice behind her, "What's going on? Miss Ren, do you still want to address me by my given name?"

"Cock!"

Ren Yinxue's heart stopped, her body stiffened, and she turned her head in disbelief to look at the back of the crowd.

A woman walked slowly towards them, dressed in a light blue gown embroidered with delicate silver patterns. A white belt cinched her waist, making her appear tall and slender. Her hair was styled in a simple bun, adorned with a jade hairpin. Her face was beautiful, her eyes clear, and a faint smile played on her lips.

Ren Yinxue's face turned deathly pale instantly. Her eyes widened, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.

"Princess Su... what are you doing here?"

Ren Yinxue's voice was filled with terror, and her body began to tremble.

"You were shouting so loudly just now, weren't you calling for me?"

Su Fuying's voice was cold and sharp. Her gaze swept over Ren Yinxue and then landed on the two people on the bed.

"Oh my god, what is this?" Su Fuying suddenly screamed and quickly covered her eyes.

The people around her were drawn by her screams and all looked towards the bed. There, a man and a woman lay naked, clearly having just finished making love.

The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances, unable to comprehend why such a thing had happened. If this was Su Fuying, then who was the man in the bed?

As Su Fuying raised her hand, white powder spilled out from her sleeve, and the faint fragrance gradually woke the two people on the bed.

"Ah!" The woman on the bed finally raised her head and screamed when she saw so many people around. Only then did everyone realize who she was.

"Su Wan'er? What are you doing?" Su Fuying was also shocked, pointing at Su Wan'er with a trembling voice, "You, you, how could you do such a despicable thing? What kind of place is this for the Minister's Mansion!"

Su Wan'er, who was on the bed, scrambled up in a panic and grabbed the blanket to try to cover her body.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with fear and despair.

"Your Highness?" As the two struggled for the blanket, someone finally saw the "adulterer's" face and asked in surprise, "The Crown Prince?"

The other timid and shy women, who dared not look directly at him, finally couldn't help but look up out of curiosity.

The person who grabbed Su Wan'er from the bed and pulled her over to cover her up was none other than the Crown Prince, whom she had just met that morning.

"Is he really the Crown Prince?"

Ren Yinxue finally realized that Su Fuying had turned the tables on her.

Composing himself, he feigned confusion and asked, "Why is Your Highness the Crown Prince here? And why did you do such a... thing?"

Although Ren Yinxue spoke tactfully, Su Fuying had no intention of giving the two any face. She mocked them without any politeness, "Your Highness, just a few hours ago you were saying that you were engaged to this princess. How come you are now doing such a dissolute thing with your sister?"

After she finished speaking, a look of grievance appeared on her face, like a woman betrayed by a scumbag. Her distressed expression evoked pity in people who saw her.

Yes, as everyone witnessed today, the Crown Prince was expressing his deep affection for Su Fuying this morning, but in the blink of an eye, he was rolling around with her younger sister.

"Su Wan'er, how can you be so shameless? You even try to steal your own brother-in-law!"

At this moment, Ji Zhiyun's loud voice suddenly rang out. She strode forward, pointed at Su Wan'er, and began to curse, "It's one thing to seduce His Highness the Crown Prince on ordinary days, but now you dare to mingle with His Highness the Crown Prince in public! You have no shame!"

Su Wan'er couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. The Crown Prince had snatched her blanket away, and she was now frantically trying to cover her private parts with her hands.

Although most of the people there were women, the two burly men who were banging on the door were watching with great interest, which made Su Wan'er want to die.

"Your Highness, I hope you will give my sister, the Princess, an explanation today."

Su Fuying looked reluctant, yet still insisted on standing up for her sister, which made even those who weren't familiar with her feel sorry for her.

Xiao Junlin was also flustered at this moment. He had just been involved in that scandal not long ago and had been severely criticized by his father.

With this incident happening again today, if my father finds out, I will be unable to bear his wrath, and I'm afraid my position as crown prince will be somewhat unstable in his eyes.

Xiao Junlin's face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat kept seeping from his forehead. His heart was filled with fear and unease.

He knew this incident could have serious consequences for him, but he couldn't explain the misunderstanding.

Looking at Su Wan'er's terrified and helpless eyes, he couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

However, he also felt helpless in the face of the current situation.

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, discussing the farce, while Xiao Junlin's mind raced, trying to come up with a solution.

"Alright, everyone go out first and let them tidy up."

Madam Ren was, after all, on the Crown Prince's side, so naturally she was thinking of the Crown Prince's best interests. After such a humiliating day, how could she allow people to continue watching?

Xiao Junlin immediately felt he had found a pillar of support and reprimanded him:

"What kind of behavior is this, all of you standing here? Get out of here!"

The Crown Prince had spoken, so even if everyone wanted to watch the spectacle, they had no choice but to go outside.

"and many more!"

As soon as Su Fuying spoke, the Crown Prince and Madam Ren felt their hearts tighten, wondering what kind of trouble she was going to cause this time.

"Ying'er, stop fooling around."

Xiao Junlin's voice softened a bit. Judging from Su Fuying's expression just now, she clearly liked him. If he coaxed her a few times, she would obediently listen to him.

The woman didn't even glance at him. She smiled lightly, a mocking smile curving her lips, and said in an icy tone, "Everyone here today is a witness. Since His Highness the Crown Prince has insulted Sister Wan'er's innocence, he must give an explanation."

Madam Ren's eyes were cold as she looked at Su Fuying and said through gritted teeth, "Princess Yongle, now is not the time to talk. What you want can be discussed later."

The woman's voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of striking jade, yet it carried a firmness and determination, as if she had made up her mind, making it impossible to ignore.

She said calmly, "As the eldest daughter of the Minister's family, with no elders in the family today, I am determined to seek justice for my sister Wan'er."

At this point, the woman paused slightly, then raised her head, looking sharply at Xiao Junlin, a glint of sharp light flashing in her eyes.

She continued, "Although Sister Wan'er is not the legitimate daughter of the Minister's family, she is still born to the mistress. It wouldn't be a loss for Your Highness to marry her as a concubine. What do you think, Your Highness?"
