Princess Yongjia was certain that Li Jingchuan had indeed had an affair with someone that day, because she discovered something unusual when Li Jingchuan returned home the next day.

At that time, Li Jingchuan said that Yongning took the initiative to hug him, and he couldn't control himself after drinking a little.

Princess Yongjia did not doubt this. She did not believe that if it was someone else, Li Jingchuan would put the blame on Yongning. In fact, no matter who that person was, it was better than Yongning.

Liu Fangcheng walked up to Li Jingchuan, and his eyes, which used to be gentle, were now unusually sharp.

"What's going on? Doesn't Prince Shan know?"

He asked him word by word, and every word seemed to pierce Li Jingchuan's heart.

"I...I don't understand what you mean."

He spoke frankly, but anyone could see that he was guilty.

Liu Fangcheng snorted and laughed, "Don't understand? Then I'll tell you and let Prince Shan recall."

"That year, Prince Shan was out of town on business, and his carriage broke down when he passed by the villa. It happened to be the coldest time of the year, so Princess Yongning took the prince in. She also instructed her servants to treat him with delicious food and drinks."

"I didn't expect that after drinking a few pots of horse urine, Prince Shan became a different person. He went to Princess Yongning's study alone and forcibly...defiled Zizhu, the princess's personal maid."

"There weren't many people serving in the other courtyard. Zizhu was copying scriptures in the study room at the time, and the study room was far away from the main courtyard and a bit remote."

"By the time Princess Yongning found out, it was already morning."

"She wanted to settle the score with you, but Zizhu stopped her. She said she just thought it was a dog bite, and she couldn't marry the dog or kill it. She would rather let it go and continue to serve the princess well."

"Princess Yongning respected the opinions of those around her, so she didn't say anything and just had you thrown out."

As Liu Fangcheng told the story of what happened that year, Li Jingchuan's face became more and more ugly.

That person that night was not Princess Yongning?

He was drunk that day, and the person under him did resist, but he didn't care.

On the second day he was still a little scared, fearing that the matter would get out of hand and end badly, and he was also afraid that Princess Yongning would insist on marrying him, and he would not know how to explain this to Yongjia.

But the next day, Princess Yongning threw him out of the courtyard and never mentioned the matter again. Only then did he know for sure that Princess Yongning was willing. If she was not willing, how could she not mention it again and not settle accounts with him?

For a moment, all eyes in the hall fell on Li Jingchuan, with contempt, disdain, scorn, and gloating.

Even Emperor Xuande looked at Li Jingchuan with unfriendly eyes.

If it was really as Liu Fangcheng said, and if it was Yongning who was in the study that day, then it would have been Yongning who was abused by Li Jingchuan.

Thinking of this result, Emperor Xuande was immediately furious.

"Li Jingchuan, you are so brave."

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Li Jingchuan knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

Li Yunzhou was very upset when he saw Princess Yongjia's dark face.

After this matter was made clear, Li Jingchuan and Princess Yongjia immediately became the laughing stock of the entire palace. By the afternoon, they would be the laughing stock of the entire capital.

This matter would be like a spring breeze, blowing to every corner of the major families in the capital, and become the topic of conversation among the ladies after dinner.

Liu Fangcheng added: "As for His Royal Highness Prince Ning, he was actually picked up by Princess Yongning on the roadside. Since she couldn't find the child's biological parents, she kept him by her side and raised him as her own son."

After talking about what happened in the past and Li Yunzhou's life experience, Liu Fangcheng stepped aside.

Li Yunzhou glanced at Princess Yongjia and continued, "Mother said that I was disrespectful to my stepmother and was disobedient and unfilial. Do you have any evidence?"

Princess Yongjia straightened her back and said, "My words are evidence."

Li Yunzhou's eyes were filled with disdain. "I also have something to say. In fact, Princess Yongjia has always believed that I am Princess Yongning's biological son. Since she brought me back to her palace, she has humiliated me in every way. At the very least, she scolded me, and at the worst, she whipped me."

After hearing this, Emperor Xuande was surprisingly calm. A thought flashed through his mind: It is true.

He already had a guess in his mind.

Princess Yongjia's face was gloomy. "Do you have any evidence? You can't slander a princess of a country."

At this time, she no longer considered herself a princess.

Li Yunzhou signaled the Dragon Guards to bring the person up, "I never speak without thinking, so I have evidence."

Princess Yongjia looked at Li Yunzhou suspiciously. What evidence could he have?

But when the Dragon Guards brought the people up, Princess Yongjia's expression changed completely, and she looked at the two people in the hall in panic.

There were two people in the temple, a man and a woman. The woman was in her early thirties and walked with a limp. The man was in his forties and judging by his figure and the way he walked, he seemed to have some kung fu skills.

The two men walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down.

"Commoner Wang Qiuhe pays homage to His Majesty."

"Commoner Li Xingchang pays homage to His Majesty."

Emperor Xuande did not recognize these two people, and asked Li Yunzhou, "Who are these two people?"

At this time, Princess Yongjia had already tilted her head back and closed her eyes. She couldn't help but admire Li Yunzhou's ability to dig out a dead person.

Li Yunzhou explained, "Your Majesty, Wang Qiuhe was once the personal maid of Princess Yongjia. Eleven years ago, Princess Yongjia suspected that she intended to seduce Prince Shan, so she beat her to death and threw her into a mass grave."

"Li Xingchang was the leader of Princess Yongjia's guards at the time. In fact, he had long been secretly in love with Wang Qiuhe. When his plea failed, he could only plan for Wang Qiuhe to fake her death and then rescue her. Wang Qiuhe's leg was broken before she faked her death."

"Afterwards, Li Xingchang also faked his own death and escaped, taking Wang Qiuhe with him and leaving the capital."

Emperor Xuande asked in confusion: "Suspicion? Didn't you explain? What do you mean by intending to seduce Prince Shan?"

People can be beaten to death just because of a suspicion. Is there any law and order in the Prince Shan’s Mansion?

Wang Qiuhe replied, "Your Majesty, I have never had any improper thoughts about you. It was only because one time I saw you fall asleep in the banquet room, so I picked up the thin blanket that had fallen on the floor and covered him with it, and the princess saw it."

"I explained that I already had someone I loved, and I could even get married to prove my innocence. But the princess didn't believe me, and she was sure that I wanted to climb into bed with someone else."

Li Yunzhou sneered, "I think Princess Yongjia is in the eyes of her lover and thinks her husband is as handsome as Pan An, as pretty as Song Yu, as talented as Zijian, and as rich as Shi Chong. That's why everyone seems to be thinking about Prince Shan, but she doesn't know that in the eyes of others, he is just so-so."

This obvious irony made Prince Shan and Princess Yongjia feel ashamed.

Li Yunzhou looked at Wang Qiuhe again, "Just tell us in front of everyone how the princess treated me."
