Liu Rufeng's face turned pale. He looked stiffly at the servant rolling on the ground in pain and sneered, "My princess is really interesting. How could I not recognize the servant of Jing'an Palace? This person looks very unfamiliar. He is not a servant who follows me. How can I know why he is hiding there? And what is the Hehuan Powder? I have never heard of it!"

"But..." He looked at Rong Sheng cunningly, and changed the subject, "How did the princess know that there was a person hiding there, and how did she recognize the Hehuan Powder? Could it be that you two are in collusion and want to frame this prince!"

What a scoundrel!

Rong Sheng cursed inwardly and was about to open his mouth to refute.

But a young man's voice came from behind: "My Lord, you said you wanted to taste the peach wine that Gu brought just now, why are you here now?"

Rong Sheng turned around and saw Gu Boyan walking into the room gracefully with a jar of wine in his right hand, with a warm smile on his face, as if he didn't notice the mess in the room.

He walked forward slowly, looked down at the servant on the ground, and then said calmly, "My Lord, isn't this the servant who stood behind you and served you when you and I were drinking just now?"

After saying that, he looked down again and said in surprise: "Hey, why is he injured? He was fine when I poured wine for you and me just now."

Liu Rufeng was troubled by Gu Boyan's sudden appearance. When the banquet started, he just wanted to take this opportunity to get close to the young master of the Gu family.

But I don’t know whether Gu Boyan is really stupid or just pretending to be confused. Even though I took the initiative to show my friendliness, he always kept his distance from me.

Now he comes here at an inopportune time. How could Gu Qingshan, who is so smart, give birth to such a stupid son!

Liu Rufeng cursed in his heart, but he still had to put on a fake smile and said to Gu Boyan: "Mr. Gu, you came to my house in person despite your busy schedule and brought some good wine. I should have treated you well, but I really can't spare the time today. How about we meet again another day?"

"Oh, I see." Gu Boyan put the wine jar on the table, smiled and bowed, "In that case, I will not bother you any more. Goodbye."

After Gu Boyan finished speaking, he quickly left the side hall without looking around.

Rong Sheng watched Gu Boyan's back and recalled his few words just now. His expression immediately relaxed and he thought that Mr. Gu came at the right time.

She then looked at Liu Rufeng with a teasing look and said, "My Lord, everyone present heard what Master Gu said just now. Do you still want to quibble?"

Liu Rufeng looked at Rong Sheng's smug face at this moment, his eyes became even more resentful, and he thought that this Princess Yong'an was really difficult to deal with. Today he could only accept her for the time being and let his father deal with them in the future!

After thinking about it, he said arrogantly: "Humph, even if this is what I did, so what? Although you are the Princess of Yong'an, you are now on my territory. What can you do to me, huh?"

Rong Sheng didn't expect Liu Rufeng to agree so quickly, nor did he expect him to be so shameless.

She sneered: "Yes, the Jing'an Palace is indeed of great status, and the government naturally dare not interfere."

"However," she stared at Liu Rufeng sharply, "after all, my sister is still young and unmarried. Now she has been murdered and her innocence has been lost. When the Marquis finds out, he will be furious. If your family does not give an explanation, the Marquis will report it to the emperor. I believe that by then, King Jing'an will definitely not let you go, right?"

What a despicable thing!

After hearing this, Liu Rufeng was so angry that he rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, how dare you use the emperor and my father to pressure me?

This Princess Yong'an is very capable!

He suppressed his inner anger and pretended to be calm, saying, "Princess Yong'an, you are worrying too much. I dare to take responsibility for my actions. Since you want an explanation, I will discuss it with my father first."

"Since the prince is so sensible of current affairs, I will not stay any longer. Goodbye."

After Rong Sheng finished speaking, he ignored Liu Rufeng, whose face had turned pale, and walked briskly with Liu Ling, bypassing the guests who were gathered in twos and threes in the hall and walked out of the side hall.

Seeing that Rong Sheng and the other two had already left, Rong Jin did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the side hall in a panic in full view of everyone.

After Rong Jin went out, the sound of Liu Rufeng smashing things came from the bedroom again, and it took a while for the sound to stop.

After an unknown amount of time, the guests who were staying in the hall began to leave the side hall and walk towards the front yard.

It was almost evening now, the sun was setting in the west, and all the buildings in the palace were shrouded in golden sunlight, appearing even more magnificent.

But the guests had no interest in appreciating the show anymore and were all talking about what had just happened.

"So the Prince of Jing'an is so philandering. He keeps saying he wants to get engaged to Princess Yong'an, but he turns around and sleeps with the second young lady of the Rong Mansion. He is so heartless!"

"That's right. I just heard something about drugging someone. How daring!"

"I said that the Jing'an Palace is not simple. The prince is so reckless that even the government dares not intervene. We ordinary officials really can't afford to offend him."

"Hmph, I think it takes two to tango. The second young lady of the Rong Mansion is dressed up in jewels and gems today. She is obviously vain. Maybe she has long been attracted by the wealth of the Jing'an Palace and wants to marry into his arms."

"It seems that this is really hard to say."

As the sun slowly set, all the guests in the palace left.

At this time, night fell and the streets and alleys of the capital gradually became quiet.

However, sounds of crying and shouting could be heard from the Rongguo Marquis's Mansion from time to time.

Rong Jin was sitting in the front hall of Longhe Hall at this moment, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Qiu Tao, who was still in shock, was standing nearby. After waking up in the side room of Prince Jing'an's Mansion, she desperately shouted for help and was saved by a servant who happened to be passing by. That's why she just rushed back from Prince Jing'an's Mansion and learned about the farce that took place in the side hall.

At this time, Rong Dexin was sitting upright in the main seat, his face solemn and silent.

While hugging Rong Jin's shoulders, Mrs. Lu beat her chest and cried, "My Lord, you have to take care of Jin'er! Our Jin'er went to a banquet and was insulted by the prince of Jing'an. If this gets out, how will Jin'er live in this life!"

"Mother, you don't know that there were so many guests watching at that time. I'm afraid that what happened today will soon spread throughout the capital." Rong Sheng sat upright opposite Lu, drinking tea and speaking indifferently.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Lu's heart skipped a beat. She was so excited that she almost jumped up from her chair. Her face was full of disbelief. "Are all those guests really here?"

"Yes, mother. Those guests were attracted by the sound. I followed the crowd there later." Rong Sheng said calmly, "When I went in, I found that the people on the bed were the prince and sister Jin'er."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu felt a splitting headache: "What about my Jin'er's future marriage? Which young master is willing to marry her? Lord, please think of a solution!"

Rong Dexin seemed not to have heard Lu's screams and howls. He still sat there motionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

Rong Sheng raised her eyes and glanced at Rong Dexin, who had an expressionless face. Seeing that he had no reaction, she continued, "Mother, I have a plan that will satisfy both of us."
