Wang Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the bright light ahead followed by the overhang of a palace’s roof.
“Your Highness Lu Wang, we’re here!” While speaking, she withdrew her hand from Lu Wang’s.
Back when they were in the Imperial Gardens, who knew whether it was because it was too dark or because Lu Wang didn’t know the way, but even after walking for a long time, they still didn’t leave the gardens. It was dark and shadows were everywhere. There was a time when Wang Shuyan was so frightened that she almost fell, but fortunately, Lu Wang grabbed her.
After that, whether it was because he forgot or wanted to comfort her, Lu Wang never let go of her hand. As for Wang Shuyan, she was frightened by one thing after another, so she simply let him guide her for the rest of the way.
Lu Wang let go of her hand and calmly said, “That should be Jiangxue Pavilion up ahead.”
Wang Shuyan was a little embarrassed and searched for something to say, “Jiangxue Pavilion. What a nice name.”
“The reason why it’s called Jiangxue Pavilion is because of the five-hundred-year-old Begonias growing here. When the flowers are in bloom, as soon as a gust of breeze blows by, the petals fall. The falling petals resemble snowflakes, but colourful.”
Wang Shuyan was originally a woman who enjoyed admiring scenery and poetry. Once she heard Lu Wang give such a description, she felt a hint of regret. “What a pity that the flowering season is already over.” Begonias bloomed in April and May.
“When Young Miss Wang comes back next year, you’ll definitely see it.”
Lu Wang was tall, strong, and of noble birth. At this time, the moon was bright in the sky, and the night was hazy with mist. Looking at him under the dim lantern light, he had a particularly elegant demeanour.
Wang Shuyan couldn’t help blushing and lowered her head.
Lu Wang glanced at her and said with a wry smile, “Young Miss Wang can laugh, but this prince just drank a lot during the banquet. Right now, there is a bit of discomfort in the stomach and the feeling is truly unpleasant. Pardon me for my direct words”
“Then let’s go in,” said Wang Shuyan shyly.
The two entered together, and Lu Wang found a bathroom to relieve himself. Soon after, when he came out, he saw Wang Shuyan standing by the door, blushing. She appeared to be a little uneasy.
“What’s the matter?”
As soon as Lu Wang came out, Wang Shuyan hurried up to him and said anxiously, “Your Highness Lu Wang, let’s go.”
Lu Wang was puzzled, but a split second later he heard some moans. The sound didn’t seem to have come from far away, but from a room nearby.
Wang Shuyan blushed and lowered her head. “Let’s go somewhere else. There’s someone…”
How could Lu Wang leave at such a time? Acting all righteous and awe-inspiring, he said, “Who dares to do such a thing in the palace! Young Miss Wang, please wait. This prince will go find out who this audacious person is.”
Wang Shuyan grabbed him. “Your Highness, don’t go. If this is…”
Lu Wang said, “You’re not thinking that it’s—” After a pause, he resumed, “Father Emperor is at Qin’an Palace, so it shouldn’t be him.”
This meant that the occupant of the room was likely someone who came to the palace to attend the moon admiring banquet.
This wasn’t only likely. It was pretty much certain.
Wang Shuyan also realized the seriousness of the situation and stopped making it difficult for Lu Wang.
At this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded. The two turned their heads and saw several dressed-up noble ladies walking in. Of the two in the lead, one of them was Consort Yong.
She was accompanying an elderly lady, who was the wife of Duke Weiguo and the sister-in-law of Empress Wei. Besides the two of them, there were also Eldest Madam Wang, Second Madam Wang and several other noble ladies. Talking and laughing together, the group was likely here to use the washroom. For some reason, instead of going to Lezhi House, which was closer to Chengrui Pavilion, they chose to come here to Jiangxue Pavilion, which was further away.
Neither group expected to see each other, and they all couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Eldest Madam Wang frowned and automatically reprimanded, “Ninth young miss, why are you alone with a man in such a place…”
The rest of her words remained stuck in her throat as she was shocked by the sound that drifted into her ears.
“This…”
Not only her, but the others also heard it.
These ladies, whose average age was between the 40s and 50s, immediately blushed. Both shocked and furious, Consort Yong started scolding with a blushing face. “Who is this bold person? How audacious! Someone! Come! Where are the servants of Jiangxue Pavilion?”
Wang Shuyan hurriedly said, “When I arrived here with Lu Wang, there were already no palace maids or eunuchs here. I got separated from my sister and lost my way, but fortunately, I met His Highness Lu Wang.”
Her words also served as an explanation. She was a proper young miss of a noble family. Without any good reason, a young miss like her shouldn’t be in the same room as a grown man like Lu Wang. Much less, at this place, at this time.
“Ridiculous! Truly absurd!”
At this moment, the two eunuchs, whose hats weren’t even tied properly, hurried in. “Your Highnesses, we beg your pardon. We both ate something bad and had just returned from the latrine.”
The other eunuch didn’t speak and only clutched his stomach while nodding his head furiously.
Then there was chaos. Of the two eunuchs, one of them went out. Then he returned with a group of eunuchs seemingly out of nowhere.
Consort Yong reigned in her anger, and said to Duchess Wei and Eldest Madam Wang, “Ladies, for such a thing to happen today, is to trample on the imperial family’s face. Asking for pardon for letting you all witness such a disgraceful event. This consort hopes the few of you can help testify today. We must find out who this shameless person is to dare to commit adultery in the imperial palace.”
Hearing this, several women nodded their heads. Some even began to condemn the shameless person with righteous indignation.
They concluded that the culprit had to be either a daughter of a noble family who didn’t know shame or some young master. To be honest, it wasn’t wrong for them to think this way. After all, if it was Emperor Hongjing acting on a whim, there’d be at least a couple of eunuchs and palace maids guarding outside.
Consort Yong ordered someone to send a message to Empress Wei. Then she led the large group of people to the place where the sounds were coming from.
As they walked down the corridor, they realized that the sounds were actually coming from two different rooms. Consort Yong was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She said fiercely, “Smash it for me! Break down the door!”
Despite all the commotion occurring outside, neither couple noticed at all and kept going. If it weren’t for the fact that the elderly ladies had all seen the world, they would’ve really wanted to cover their faces.
The eunuchs rushed forward and broke down the door. Consort Yong led the way in.
