Chapter 221 The Incident In The Princess Palace (2/2)

”She found out everything that Your Highness wanted her to know. After all, it wasn't exactly a secret that Princess Hua Jing brought the most famed escort from Suiyu House to her Palace. Ya Xi is popular and easily recognized in the City. Besides, he went to the Princess Palace through the front door several times. Everyone saw him.” Ning Qian smiled, too.

”Well, the Royal cousins fought over one escort and now, they hate each other for that. What an intriguing story!” Yun Shang took a sip of tea. 'No wonder the civilians like to watch shows.' The Princess thought. The players on stage enact what the audience favors to amuse them. It's said that watching such shows helped the commoners forget about their problems. But Yun Shang had enjoyed customizing this show. And it was only the beginning. She had much more planned.

”What's more, there were several groups of people investigating Ya Xi and the Suiyu House fire. They have shown great interest and conducted the investigation many times. Fortunately we foresaw this and made arrangements in advance. Otherwise they would find out that we were behind the whole incident. Of the people who were interested in Suiyu House, some were from the Grand Councilor's Mansion, and others had been sent by the Empress. I'm surpr

women he slept with. He thought Hua Jing could help him achieve his political goals, so he had lowered his standards and chosen her, despite the fact that Hua Jing wasn't a virgin. Now, seeing Hua Jing sleeping with different men, Prince Qingsu felt veins throbbing in his temples. Reminding himself of the plans he needed help with, the Prince suppressed his feelings and walked in.

But he lost his temper again at the sight that greeted him as he entered. Outer clothes, tunics, and shoes were scattered on the ground. Several naked bodies were piled up on the bed. It was a dirty scene.

Although glowering in anger, Prince Qingsu stayed silent as he watched the woman on the bed. One of the escorts noticed Prince Qingsu. He put on a seductive smile and spoke to the Prince, ”Friend. Are you also here to serve Her Highness? Well, you're late. But it doesn't matter. Come and join us. It's our honor to serve Her Highness. Am I right, Your Highness?”

Princess Hua Jing was busy enjoying herself. She was so caught up in the throes of pleasure that Hua Jing kept her eyes tightly closed and moaned. Hearing the question, she didn't think much. The Princess whimpered, ”Yeah...... Ah...... Serve me...... Serve me well...... And you...... Ah...... You'll be rewarded......”

The escort who noticed Prince Qingsu smiled at Hua Jing's reply. He bent and continued kissing Hua Jing's neck. Hua Jing moaned out of joy.

Prince Qingsu sneered. He silently walked to the bed. No one noticed Qingsu's approach. ”Em, ” said the Prince as he unsheathed a hidden knife that he had brought with him. Without deliberating over his decision, the Prince swung the knife at the person closest to him. The escort turned just in time to see the knife heading toward his body. Quickly, he rolled away. Prince Qingsu couldn't stop. As the knife sunk into the person below the escort, Prince Qingsu sneered. Before Prince Qingsu saw who he had stabbed, a scream rang through the chamber. Several people looked around and noticed the Prince's violent behavior, ”Ah...... Someone has been stabbed......”

The men on the bed seemed shocked by the sudden incident and started to run around the room naked.

The chaotic scene satisfied Prince Qingsu so much, that he kept stabbing the person on the bed without looking at the victim. The escorts kept shouting and screaming.

Soon, the quilt was soaked with blood. When footsteps hastened toward the room, Prince Qingsu knew that the guards were approaching. He controlled his anger and put away the knife. No matter what, he couldn't be caught committing a crime in the Princess Palace. What he had done would indeed have disastrous effects if he were caught. Prince Qingsu was needed in the State of Yelang. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. He had no feelings for Hua Jing, so why did he become so emotional? The Prince frowned as he recalled how impossible it had been to control his feelings from the moment he stepped in the room. He couldn't resist the thought of killing.

Familiar with schemes and plots, Prince Qingsu knew it was a set-up targeting him. There must be something odd about the scent in the room.

Prince Qingsu shook his head to clear his mind before trying to jump out through the window. But the Prince was stopped and dragged down by the escorts who saw him. The Prince frowned when he thought he'd be caught by the Palace guards. Hearing the footsteps coming closer, Qingsu swung his knife and stabbed whoever was holding his thigh.

The guards smashed through the door. When they saw Prince Qingsu holding a blood covered knife, they shouted, ”Hurry! Arrest him!” Since the guards had entered, the escorts restraining Prince Qingsu loosened their grip. Prince Qingsu took the chance to jump out the window. He disappeared in the darkness.

The guards didn't chase the Prince. They panicked at the blood-soaked bed and shouted, ”Help! Her Highness is hurt!”
