On our wedding night, he personally sent me to the Regent's bed

Di Xiuyan's breathing in the east wing was becoming heavier.

Pretty palace maids were sent in batches, but were all ruthlessly kicked out by Di Xiuyan.

He was extremely annoyed and unwilling to give in, but he could do nothing about the powerful effect of the love grass.

"Get out, get out!"

A violent voice sounded, and the entire east wing was completely shrouded in the regent's anger and pressure.

-

In the study of Prince Chen's Mansion, Pei Mochen, who was wearing wedding clothes, had obviously known about this matter.

Just as Mu Wanyan expected, Pei Mochen and Concubine Xiao were indeed in chaos.

"Yuqin, that lowly maid, actually dared to poison the Regent Prince at Chen'er's wedding banquet. What if Di Xiuyan wakes up tomorrow and vents his anger on Prince Chen's mansion? What should we do?"

The person who was speaking was Xiao Rong. She was graceful and elegant, and was the favorite concubine of the current emperor Pei Lingsong. She was also the biological mother of Prince Chen Pei Mochen and Princess Pei Yuzhu.

She was restless and called a maid dressed as a servant to ask her some questions.

"Madam Gui, have you arranged for a high-quality maid to be sent to the east wing? That bitch Yuqin is dead, and there will be no one to help the regent detoxify."

The current situation is turbulent, and the surrounding small countries are eyeing it covetously. Although Dafeng is prosperous, its foundation is not stable, and it relies entirely on Emperor Xiuyan's Xuanwu Army to keep it in place. At this critical juncture, Dafeng can do without anyone, but it cannot do without Emperor Xiuyan.

The nanny looked embarrassed and stepped forward to bow.

"I have already sent several groups of palace maids over. Their figures, looks, and skin are all top-notch, and all of them are perfect. I have checked their bodies. But..."

Nanny Gui wanted to say something but stopped herself. She looked up at Concubine Xiao and then at Pei Mochen.

"The regent was furious and refused to let any of the girls get close to him. If it weren't for the guards protecting them, the girls would have died just like Lady Yuqin."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao slammed the table fiercely, "If the poison of the love grass cannot be cured, and something happens to Di Xiuyan, the emperor will blame him, and everyone will suffer."

As she spoke, she wished she could whip the corpse of the court lady Yuqin.

Unfortunately, the country is not at peace yet, and the emperor can only curry favor with Di Xiuyan. Otherwise, they would definitely not be afraid of Di Xiuyan, and even have the intention to kill him.

Pei Mochen, the Prince of Chen, who was standing aside, seemed to have anticipated this result.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed.

"Heh, how could an ordinary girl catch the eye of Di Xiuyan?"

Nanny Gui stepped forward and explained, "Your Highness, the maids I selected are extraordinary. They all have slim waists, graceful figures, and rosy cheeks. When they were sent to the east wing, the guards in your house stared at them in amazement."

Pei Mochen smiled slightly upon hearing this, but still no emotion could be seen on his handsome face.

"How can the guards' vision compare to Di Xiuyan's?"

Nanny Gui's eyes flickered. It was indeed His Royal Highness Prince Chen, whom the Emperor valued the most. In such a critical situation, he could remain calm and composed. He was indeed a modest gentleman, gentle as jade.

However, what they didn't know was that people like Pei Mochen, only when you take a closer look, will you discover that between his calm and composed eyes and brows, there is an imperceptible coldness and cruelty hidden, which is very terrifying.

At this time, the girl in red, who had been sitting in the corner of the study and crying silently, interrupted:

"Humph, no matter how beautiful the palace maids are, they are still lowly servants. How can they be worthy of my brother Xiu Yan if you send them to sleep with you?"

The woman who was speaking was Pei Mochen's younger sister and Concubine Xiao's biological daughter - Pei Yuzhu.

She was beautiful and domineering. She was playful in her early years and secretly kept a male lover.

By chance, she saw Emperor Xiuyan on a war horse and was shocked by his beauty. From then on, she dismissed her concubines, turned over a new leaf, and devoted herself to pursuing the Regent.

"Those maids don't even want to use toothpaste and toilet paper. They stink all over. How can they touch my brother Xiu Yan's body?"

Pei Yuzhu's eyes were wide open, and her words were heroic. When she thought about her lover's marriage to another woman, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Mother, brother, can you please let me help Brother Xiu Yan detoxify? I think, I...anyway...I am willing to do so."

"I'm very willing to do it!" Pei Yuzhu stomped her feet anxiously. Her face was hot and it seemed that she had made up her mind.

There was silence in the air for a while. Concubine Xiao and Pei Mochen looked at each other, and neither of them spoke for a long time.

"Brother, mother, please say something!" Pei Yuzhu clenched her fingers tightly, her heart so nervous that it seemed like it might jump out of her throat.

"No-"

"no--"

Pei Mochen and Concubine Xiao answered in unison and directly denied the answer.

"Why not?" Pei Yuzhu burst into tears.

"Brother Xiu Yan is of noble status, and I have been fond of him for many years. Isn't today the best opportunity?"

Pei Yuzhu no longer had any shyness at this point, and was determined to serve Di Xiuyan in bed.

Concubine Xiao came over to comfort her, "Don't make a fuss, how could mother not know what you are thinking?"

She shook Pei Yuzhu's hand, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"Your commotion has actually reminded me. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We should either not do it or do it big!"

Pei Mochen nodded, but Pei Yuzhu looked confused.

"Mother, Brother, what do you mean?"

Concubine Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhu'er, no matter who the woman who sleeps with the Regent tonight is, when the prince wakes up tomorrow, the only person he will see on the bed will be you!"

If we can take advantage of this opportunity to let Di Xiuyan and Zhu'er become a couple, then with the help of Di Xiuyan's power, will Chen'er be far from ascending the throne?

Concubine Xiao patted Pei Yuzhu's shoulder and said, "But you have been keeping a concubine for many years, so you are no longer a virgin. Therefore, a pure woman must replace you in the bedchamber tonight. At dawn tomorrow morning, you can go in and make the exchange. When Di Xiuyan wakes up, he will not be able to escape."

Concubine Xiao laughed as she spoke, and the cruelty in her eyes was clearly visible.

"Mother——" Pei Yuzhu screamed excitedly.

Her face flushed and she looked timidly at Pei Mochen beside her.

"Brother, can I really do this?"

Pei Mochen smiled softly and nodded slightly.

After getting a positive answer, Pei Yuzhu was so excited that her tongue began to get tied.

"I...I...I...Yuzhu thanks my brother and mother. From now on, Yuzhu will follow your arrangements!"

Pei Mochen expressed satisfaction: "Zhu'er has finally grown up."

Concubine Xiao also laughed, but soon fell into deep thought again.

"But the biggest problem now is that the Regent is too picky. He sent batches of top-notch maids, both plump and thin, but Di Xiuyan didn't like any of them and kicked them all out."

Pei Mochen was not panicked and said word by word:

"First, order someone to extinguish the candlelight in Di Xiuyan's room. Then I'll have the secret guards gather all the beauties in the capital. I don't believe that under the influence of the love grass, Di Xiuyan can remain calm."

……

Soon, one by one, the graceful beauties were sent to Di Xiuyan's room in the dark night.

Unfortunately, they were thrown out one by one before they could even get close to the Regent.

Dancers, maids, singers... even famous prostitutes were called over by the maids, but Di Xiuyan remained indifferent and didn't respond at all.

In addition to being disappointed, Concubine Xiao began to admire the Regent's strong self-control from a woman's perspective.

"What a righteous man! The medicinal properties of the love grass are so strong that even a saint might not be able to resist it for so long."

Xiao Rong wanted to cover her mouth and smile, but then she changed her mind and fell into distress again.

"Chen'er, what should we do? All the beauties in the capital have been found, but the regent has not accepted any of them. If the poison is not removed, your life will be in danger. What if your father gets angry with you?"

Concubine Xiao's eyes became more and more panicked, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted tighter and tighter.

While hesitating, Pei Yuzhu's sarcastic voice slowly rang out again:

"Brother, mother, isn't there a princess who just got married and hasn't had her wedding night yet?"

Pei Yuzhu's eyes were somewhat evasive, and she didn't dare to look directly at her brother Pei Mochen. I heard that Mu Wanyan was extremely beautiful, and I wondered if her brother would be willing to let her go.

But in order to achieve her goal, she could only grit her teeth and continue boldly:

"It is said that Mu Wanyan has skin as white as cream and a slim figure, and is the most beautiful woman in Xichang... Moreover, the emperor's voice is very similar to Xiu Yan's brother..."
