Wenxin looked at Jiang Yue with a half-smile and said, "Isn't it strange that I'm not in the Tianzi private room right now? Or are you wondering why I haven't fallen for your trap? As Feng Yang's maid, you feign concern for your sister, worried that she might be taken advantage of by a lone man, yet you've gathered so many people to witness her alone with another man. Little did you expect that the other main character in your scheme, Master Wenxin, isn't even in the room."
Jiang Yue was momentarily stunned; she had clearly seen him enter. How could he not be in the room?
The person Jiang Yue had called for help suddenly realized what was happening. One of them questioned, "Miss Jiang Yue, are you trying to fool us? Master Wenxin is clearly outside. Which of your eyes saw him enter this room?"
Jiang Yue feigned innocence, hoping to muddle through.
At that moment, the door to the private room opened from the inside, and everyone turned to see the imposing figure of the Regent stepping out, clad in a black robe woven with gold.
Feng Yang's gaze was icy as he asked, "What’s going on here?"
Jiang Xi smiled slightly and said, "With so many people gathered here, are you planning to catch someone in the act?"
Jiang Yue stared rigidly at the two who had emerged together, shocked into silence.
However, the others present were already trembling under Feng Yang's stern presence and instinctively knelt to pay their respects.
Jiang Xi looked at everyone and smiled, saying, "It's rare for me to accompany the prince to enjoy a performance today. I didn't expect to encounter such a scene. You all think I'm here secretly meeting another man."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly denied it, eager to clear their names. They said, "We were listening to the performance downstairs and enjoying it thoroughly. It was Miss Jiang Yue who insisted that Lady Jiang was in danger with Master Wenxin. We did not believe her; we hope the Regent and Lady Jiang can see through this."
The guests now turned their accusations toward Jiang Yue, saying, "It's all Miss Jiang Yue's baseless claims and nonsense."
Panicking, Jiang Yue stepped forward and pressed her hands tightly against her chest in assurance. "No! I truly worry for my sister!"
Jiang Xi looked at Jiang Yue with a half-smile and thought to herself that this opportunity had presented itself so conveniently; it would be inappropriate not to take advantage of it.
He smiled faintly and said, "Are you really worried about me? A month ago, you were able to act like loving sisters while having a child with Huo Xingwen. Now, you can say you're worried while bringing so many people to catch me in the act. Jiang Yue, your tricks might fool some brainless fools, but anyone with a bit of sense won't buy your clumsy performance."
Jiang Xi's light-hearted words made those kneeling on the ground wish they could find a hole to hide in.
Jiang Yue was filled with confusion and doubt. However, Jiang Xi's words made her sense the Regent's anger, prompting her to kneel down quickly, squeezing out tears and feigning innocence as she said, "Sister, I didn't mean it. I was really just worried about you..."
"Enough."
Seeing her pretentious demeanor made Jiang Xi feel disgusted. I initially wanted to keep my distance from you, but since you keep seeking your own demise, if I don't fulfill your wishes now, I would be failing to appreciate your efforts.
Jiang Yue panicked and turned to plead with Fong Yang, "Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding. Please see it clearly."
To dare scheme against Jiang Xi and still seek his favor showed just how muddled her mind was.
Fong Yang immediately instructed Han Yue, "Since Miss Jiang Yue enjoys catching people in the act so much, let her have her fill. Later, send her to the Red Chamber; there are plenty of people there. Let the owner take her for a good observation."
Han Yue responded loudly, "Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue truly began to cry; entering a brothel meant a lifetime of ruin.
In terror, she crawled over to Jiang Xi and clutched her skirt tightly, sobbing, "Sister, you can't do this to me. If you treat me this way, Father won't just stand by. I'm still his daughter!"
Jiang Xi looked at her sister who had schemed against her in both past and present with disgust filling her heart. Even now, she dared to use that worthless father of theirs to threaten her.
Fong Yang noticed Jiang Xi's emotions and tightened his grip on her hand slightly.
Thinking of Jiang Yue's despicable schemes against Jiang Xi, Fong Yang's voice turned even colder as he said, "Someone, take Jiang Yue to the Red Chamber and let the boss teach her a lesson."
This sentence felt like a death sentence, plunging Jiang Yue into despair. Her mind went blank, and she collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Han Yue snorted coldly and stepped forward to grab her arm, dragging her out.
Jiang Yue cried out in fear, "Regent, spare me! Sister, I didn't mean it! I was wrong, please, I beg you, spare me!"
Jiang Xi was irritated by Jiang Yue's cries. She had once genuinely treated her like a sister, but all she received in return was betrayal.
Fong Yang embraced Jiang Xi and gently reassured her, "It's alright, I'm here."
Before leaving, Fong Yang looked at Wenxin and ordered, "Have Han Shuang take Huai'an Princess back. Come to the Regent's Palace later; I have matters to discuss with you. Also, handle that situation over there."
Wenxin nodded, understanding that "that situation" referred to the Liu.
She thought to herself that once the little white lotus was dealt with, it would be time for the old white lotus to move.
Wenxin walked alone to Room Three, unlocked the door, and stepped inside.
As she rounded the screen, she saw the Liu bound and filled with resentment. He had heard everything happening outside and was now glaring at Wenxin with a mix of anger and shock.
Wenxin, however, seemed unconcerned and spoke with interest, "What’s wrong? Want to save your daughter? You chose to provoke someone you shouldn't have; isn't that asking for trouble? Don't worry, Jiang Yue will never think of getting out. I'll make sure she lives like a deity in the Red Chamber."
The Liu screamed internally: "Let me go! I need to tell Chancellor Jiang to deal with this damned actor!"
"Wenxin smiled lightly and said, 'As for you, since you have been a top courtesan, your skills in serving others should be quite good. How about I send you to the military camp to serve the soldiers?'"
"The Liu's eyes widened in terror as she screamed, 'Are you trying to make me a military prostitute? I am meant to be the Prime Minister's Wife! Let me go!'"
Meanwhile, Fong Yang returned to the palace holding the not-so-well Jiang Xi and immediately shouted to Yin Ye, 'Call the Physician!'
Jiang Xi had inhaled some of Jiang Yue's sleeping powder, and it needed to be dealt with quickly.
Nestled in Fong Yang's arms, Jiang Xi looked up at his tense face and comforted him, 'Your Highness, don't worry. I'm fine.'
With a playful smile at Fong Yang, she added, 'If it really comes to it, I might as well give myself to you. After all, I will never marry anyone else in this lifetime.'
Upon hearing this, Fong Yang's face flushed slightly.
Clearing his throat, he asked, 'What are you talking about? How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable?'
Jiang Xi wrapped her arms around Fong Yang's waist and replied, 'It's okay; just a bit hot.'
The blush on her face deepened, becoming increasingly alluring. Fong Yang felt his nerves tighten as he carefully stroked her back and said, 'You don't need to be nervous; the Physician will be here soon.'
Jiang Xi fell silent; being in Fong Yang's embrace made her feel safe at all times.
At that moment, the palace Physician Su Muchen hurried in with a medicine box, secretly sighing to himself. Such a perfect opportunity for the prince to take advantage of the situation, yet he called me in to detoxify her—truly lacking in romantic sense.
