Chapter 22: Lifting a Rock

However, today was a pleasant surprise. He didn't bring the drug with him.

Next time, he must make Mo Qinghuan drink that drug. With her alluring figure, after drinking it, her lascivious appearance would surely be extremely captivating and make one feel like in paradise.

He took it and drank it.

Then he pretended to kiss Mo Qinghuan's snow - white neck, but suddenly a dizziness hit him. Mo Qinghuan's figure gradually became blurred, as if there were a dozen people standing in front of him.

"Yao Lang, come here. Hurry up and come!" She hooked her finger and walked outside.

After leading Ning Yao into the side room, Mo Qinghuan locked the door from the outside. Then she whispered a few words into Shuang'er's ear. Shuang'er just nodded. Before leaving, she even spat at the side room.

Mo Qinghuan shook her head with a smile, seeing her childish behavior.

Not long after, Shuang'er came back, looking extremely excited.

"Miss, don't worry. Everything has been taken care of."

Mo Qinghuan took her hand. "Good. Then let's go into the house and wait for the good show."

The mistress and her two maids went into the house. Dan'er and Shuang'er moved stools and sat at the door to watch.

Mo Qinghuan sipped her tea on her own.

After a while, sudden screams came from the side room. Then, not long after, a disorderly sound of footsteps approached.

Dan'er turned back to Mo Qinghuan. "Miss, a lot of people are coming..."

Shuang'er scratched her head. "I didn't call anyone here."

Mo Qinghuan raised an eyebrow. "I'm afraid that person brought the people here on her own. She's really lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet."

People outside started chattering.

"Oh my god. In broad daylight, the princess is..."

A bold maid voiced her doubt, tiptoeing to look inside.

"It can't be the princess. It sounds more like the second young lady to me!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Be careful that the second young lady will tear your mouth apart!" Hongguo deliberately retorted.

However, in the past few days, she had noticed that the second young lady needed help with everything, even eating. But she didn't know why and didn't dare to ask about the second young lady for fear of being slapped.

"Why not? Have you forgotten why the second young lady was jilted?"

Hongguo nodded and said nothing more. With her head down, she seemed out of place among the others who were craning their necks to look inside.

Mo Qinghuan thought it was time. "Dan'er, go out and ask what's going on."

After Dan'er came out, she gave everyone a cold look. "Who has the guts to make such a racket in the princess's yard? Scram!"

The lewd sounds from the room came one after another. Everyone still wanted to find out more.

Just then, Lady Lan was carried over in a sedan chair. She gave Dan'er a cold look. Cui'er stepped forward and shouted, "Oh, you've even bought a maid. But where's your mistress? Is this the place for you to talk?"

"You're just a maid. Who do you think you are?" Dan'er retorted.

"The people that dead girl found are really sharp - tongued!" Lady Lan said and coughed heavily. Feeling the coppery taste in her throat, she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

In just a few days, Lady Lan had lost a lot of weight. Her pale and bloodless face with prominent cheekbones looked extremely scary.

Hearing the commotion inside, Lady Lan shouted, "Open the door!"

Everyone looked at each other but didn't dare to step forward.

Seeing this, Cui'er stepped over the crowd, came to the door of the side room, and looked at Lady Lan again.

In fact, Mo Yao had already heard the commotion, but she didn't dare to go out.

She didn't even figure out what had happened!

She had heard that Ning Yao had sneaked into the mansion and was with Mo Qinghuan again. She was so angry that she rushed to Mo Qinghuan's yard. On the way, she arranged for Hongguo to call people to watch the show.

As soon as she got closer, she heard Ning Yao's heavy breathing.

Needless to say, she knew what the two of them were doing.

So she quietly crept closer.

She wanted to peek through the crack of the door, but as soon as the door opened a little, she was pulled into the room by a strong force.

Ning Yao fell on top of her. Her hands were numb and she couldn't resist. She struggled to kick Ning Yao with her feet.

But Ning Yao held her legs down, making her unable to move. Soon, Ning Yao had his way.

She was still surprised at how good Ning Yao had become in that regard when someone knocked on the door loudly.

Ning Yao trembled all over and collapsed on her.

Hearing that there was no more sound from the side room, Mo Qinghuan got up and walked out of the house.

She raised her hand to cover her yawn. Leaning lazily against the doorframe, she looked at the people in the yard.

When Lady Lan saw Mo Qinghuan, she was also stunned. Then she looked at the side room again. A bad feeling rose in her heart. Could it be that her useless Yaoyao had hooked up with Ning Yao again!

Mo Qinghuan saw Lady Lan's changing expression. Then she looked at the side room with a puzzled look. "What are you all looking at?"

When Cui'er saw Mo Qinghuan coming out, she also sensed that something was wrong and stopped knocking on the door.

She walked back to Lady Lan. Mo Qinghuan signaled Dan'er with her eyes. Dan'er immediately understood her meaning. "Alright, stop looking. Scram!"

Seeing that Mo Qinghuan didn't insist on opening the door to confirm who was inside, Lady Lan subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

Since the mistress had spoken, it was not appropriate for everyone to stand there. So they dispersed.

After the people left, Lady Lan was supported by Cui'er and walked to the door of the side room.

She softly called out inside, "Yaoyao."

Hearing her mother's voice, Mo Yao struggled to get up. But her hands were numb and her clothes had been torn by Ning Yao. There was still filth between her legs.

How could she go out and face people in this state!

"Don't you want to go in and take a look?" Mo Qinghuan threw a cloak to Cui'er.

Cui'er quickly opened the door and went in. Mo Yao was sitting on the ground, with the unconscious Ning Yao lying beside her.

"Miss." She walked over and wrapped the cloak around her.

Lady Lan was so angry that her lips were trembling. Dragging her tired body, she stepped forward and slapped Mo Yao hard across the face.

Then she grabbed Mo Yao's ear and dragged her back to her own yard.

Ning Yao was still naked. Since Dan'er and Shuang'er were still children in Mo Qinghuan's eyes, she just left him there to fend for himself.

...

Inside the palace.

When Emperor Mu Linyi woke up, he raised his hand to rub his neck.

"Your Majesty, you're awake."

Concubine Li walked to the bedside with a bowl of ginseng soup. Mu Linyi sat up and took the bowl of ginseng soup.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't take a bath alone. How could no one know that you fainted in the Qingtang Garden?"

"It's lucky that I missed you so much and went to look for you. Otherwise..." She picked up a handkerchief and pretended to wipe away non - existent tears. "What would you have me do?"

Mu Linyi carefully recalled what had happened before he fainted.

It couldn't be that woman. Her knife had already been taken away. Moreover, she had started to flatter him. So, it was impossible! If it wasn't her, then who could it be?

Concubine Li knew what he was thinking and deliberately handed over the token.
