Chapter 155: Wrath, meeting a plot with a plot (2/2)

“Imperial Qin Aunt, I’m Changping. Are you awake?”

“Imperial Qin Aunt, why don’t you open the door?”

Princess Changping called out like a hypocrite a few times, her crafty eyes shining as she gave a push to the door. It immediately opened a crack.

“Aiya, why isn’t the door locked?!” Princess Changping asked in a loud voice. Silence greeted her remark. No one in the crowd was an idiot, so all of them had realized something was wrong.

“Imperial Qin Aunt…” Princess Changping called out carefully, her back to the crowd as her lips curved up into a smile. She soon lost her patience and walked inside, but gave a shriek immediately afterwards.

“Ah….ahhhhh!”

Eunuch Li was thrilled when he heard the scream. The plan had worked!

“What happened?”

“Qin Wangfei, Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

Eunuch Li hastily pushed open the door, revealing the scene inside for the crowd. At the same time, he gave a shout as well. “Ah…!”

How could this be?

Heavens, this wasn’t supposed to happen!

The folding screen inside the room had been completely knocked over while Princess Changping stood gaping next to it, face alternating between various unpleasant hues. Near the screen was Zhangsun Che dressed indecently in his trousers, pressed atop an unconscious girl as he moved to undo her robes. But the girl was none other than Murong Wanru!

With the door to the room wide open, everyone saw the sight and were filled with disbelief. They’d never expect to witness such a scene here. Heavens, exactly what had happened? Why was Murong Wanru here? Isn’t this where Qin Wangfei was resting?

Zhangsun Che was completely under the throes of the aphrodisiac as his hands anxiously moved about. Still stunned by the sight, no one moved to stop him. It was then that Han Yunxi walked out from the side, pushing aside the crowd as she moved forward. “What is it? What’s going on?”

As soon as she reached the door and saw inside, she turned angry. “Impudent! Zhangsun Che, why aren’t you stopping?!”

Her words finally brought the crowd back to their senses. All of the woman backed away, each of them sporting red faces. But Zhangsun Che was unmoved.

“You licentious scoundrel!”

Han Yunxi saw a basin of water nearby and carried it over before dumping the contents over Zhangsun Che and Murong Wanru. Only then did Zhangsun Che stop moving and Murong Wanru wake up. When she saw the man above her body, then her torn clothes, she immediately let out a scream. “AhhHHHHHhh!”

Her shriek was sharp enough to pierce through the skies, grating to the ears. Flustered, Murong Wanru’s face paled as she was seized with fear! How could this be?! Heavens, what had happened?

“Get off! Get off! Ah…save me! Someone, help me!” she viciously shoved at Zhangsun Che, almost crazy with hysteria as she cried and screamed.

Han Yunxi’s eyes turned cold before she demanded, “Someone, hurry and drag him away!”

Only then did Murong Wanru realize that she was surrounded by people, including Han Yunxi herself. Her expression turned speechless. How could this…

Two men emerged from the crowd and grabbed at Zhangsun Che, who still hadn’t come to his senses yet. He began to struggle and spew obscenities!

“Let me go, my little woman’s waiting for me!”

“You all get off, this young lord’s going to have a good time!”

… …

Hearing such foul words, Murong Wanru’s humiliated face distorted until she was on the verge of turning insane. She was too overwhelmed to wonder why Han Yunxi was perfectly safe, or how she’d gotten in this situation in the first place. She didn’t want to listen to any more, but covered her ears and started crying hysterically. “Ah…ahhh….ahhHHHHHHHhhhhhhH!”

One spewed lewd words while the other kept screaming. Things were close to getting out of hand, but Princess Changping still stood frozen in place, while everyone else was too afraid to make any more noise. This was no small matter.

Murong Wanru might only be a foster daughter, but she was the jewel in the palm of Grand Concubine Yi’s hand. Things had gotten serious!

Han Yunxi shot a cold look at Murong Wanru without a shred of sympathy. If not for the detox system alarms, she would be the one falling apart right now.

“Eunuch Li, gag that swine’s mouth and take him away to get rid of his alcohol!” Han Yunxi finally spoke. Eunuch Li kept trying to shoot Princess Changping looks, but the latter had been too thoroughly frightened to react. He could only brace himself to take the man away.

“Murong Wanru, that’s enough! Exactly what happened? You’ve lost face entirely for the Duke of Qin’s estate!”

Murong Wanru’s shrieks stopped abruptly at Han Yunxi’s voice. At the same time, Princess Changping recovered her wits and looked over…
