"Well, that's to be expected. Since that's the case, I, the Princess Consort, will not blame Madam Leng for deliberately causing trouble and cursing the Prince and my marriage." Baili Chen couldn't help but snort coldly. "If you can't keep your mouth shut, you'd better not bring it out to embarrass yourself in the future. Madam Leng is supposed to come from a prestigious family, but how come she doesn't even know the rules that a lowly family should know?"
Upon hearing Ouyang Yue's words, Baili Chen immediately flew into a rage. He would not allow anyone to have any chance of ruining his happiness. These words were naturally much more offensive, directly implying that Madam Sun had no manners and that the Sun family did not know how to teach people, having produced such an ill-mannered person.
Sun Shi originally just wanted to vent her anger, but then she thought that Ouyang Yue, with her reputation, wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to her elders. However, she had never met Ouyang Yue before and didn't know what kind of person she was. This was a direct attempt to flatter her, and she was kicked so hard that she almost died from the pain. Sun Shi was so angry that her face turned purple. Everyone in the hall was focused on her, which made her feel extremely ashamed. She also gritted her teeth and secretly hated Ouyang Yue for being so disrespectful.
"Seventh Brother, what do you mean by this? Auntie was just upset that Cousin was beaten and said a few words. In the end, it's all a family matter. Why are you dragging this into the Sun residence? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass your sister? Father has always said that siblings should be harmonious. Even if you are favored, there should be a limit to your nonsense. Your sister came to this banquet on Father's orders. Are you trying to embarrass Father too? How dare you!" Just then, a sharp voice suddenly rang out in the hall, and Baili Le stormed in angrily, clearly looking for trouble!
☆、190、The princess is humiliated, and the scumbag dies!
Baili Le always paid great attention to her attire, and today was no exception. She wore a long, flowing gold and pink robe that accentuated her slender waist and delicate features. Her hair was adorned with jewels that jingled as she moved. Normally, she would have looked quite charming, but now she appeared overly arrogant. This was Baili Le's characteristic. She was very much favored by Emperor Mingxian, at least compared to the insincere favor shown to Baili Chen. Baili Le was different; she was decisive and extremely selfish.
Baili Le, accompanied by a group of palace maids, entered the hall with her chin held high, as if a queen had descended. Ouyang Yue and Baili Chen were both seated in the highest positions. However, since Baili Le had clearly stated that she had come for Emperor Mingxian, anyone else would have immediately risen to greet her. But this did not include Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue. The two sat quietly in their high positions. Baili Le walked over, frowned, and said, "Seventh Imperial Brother, Seventh Imperial Sister-in-law."
Ouyang Yue nodded slightly: "Greetings, Fifth Princess."
As soon as the scene ended, Baili Le sneered at Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue: "Seventh Imperial Brother, Seventh Imperial Sister-in-law, today I, the princess, am here on behalf of Father Emperor. I just didn't expect to hear those things as soon as I arrived. Seventh Imperial Sister-in-law even cursed the Sun family?"
Ouyang Yue looked at Baili Le indifferently: "Oh? If that's what Fifth Princess thinks, then so be it. My original intention was just that I felt that Second Madam Leng had no manners. If Fifth Princess thinks that my words are an insult to the Sun family, then this is entirely voluntary. How could I possibly interfere?"
Leng Caiwen lowered her head and smiled slightly. This Baili Le really knew how to invite trouble. Coming to pick a fight at this time, she didn't know that by doing this, she was directly admitting that Madam Sun had no manners and that the Sun family didn't know how to raise their children. Looking at Baili Le like this, she really did have no manners.
Baili Le's face immediately darkened: "Seventh Princess, I am here to attend the banquet on behalf of my father. What do you mean by this? Are you slapping my father in the face? The Seventh Prince is quite bold. Tell me, who else in the world would dare to do such a thing!"
Ouyang Yue was quite surprised and asked in confusion, "Oh? Did Father Emperor send Fifth Princess here because he felt that the Prince and I didn't celebrate enough and deliberately sent Fifth Princess to cause trouble? Isn't Fifth Princess a royal princess? How come I didn't know that the Leng family is our own relatives?"
"You!" Baili Le squinted at Ouyang Yue and sneered. There weren't many people in the hall now. Sun Shi had indeed been very rude earlier, and of course, Ouyang Yue's words weren't clean either. But this was in the Chen Prince's residence, and Sun Shi's behavior was like pulling the tiger's hair out of its head—it was already illegitimate. Baili Le happened to come over and saw Sun Shi so embarrassed; how could she possibly save face? Baili Le also disliked this so-called aunt very much—she was domineering, brainless, and extremely sarcastic. But she couldn't let the Sun family lose face. However, she forgot that Ouyang Yue had a silver tongue; she could turn bad things into good things, and anything could become polite in her mouth.
"We're all relatives, so Seventh Princess, please watch your words. To say 'mourning' or 'death' on such a joyous day is truly a curse. Seventh Prince, your health has only just improved. If a few unintentional remarks worsen your condition, you'll be too ashamed to even think about it. As your younger sister, I'm also very worried about your health. I was thinking about what gift to give you today, and coincidentally, I recently found several very clever and capable palace maids, each with their own unique skills. Seventh Prince, please choose one; I'll send her to take care of you." Baili Le sneered, then pointed. The four palace maids behind her immediately took a small step forward. Everyone immediately understood that she was referring to these four maids.
Ouyang Yue's heart sank. Baili Chen coughed twice and glanced at the four palace maids: "Fifth Princess, you seem to care about your brother. However, there are many servants in the Chen Prince's mansion, so there's no need for them. It would be better to have a room full of people to avoid disturbing my rest."
Baili Le shook his head and said, "Seventh Brother, that's not how it works. Look, you and Sister-in-law have been married for over two months, but there's still no news. Not only are Father and Mother worried, but I'm worried for you too. Your health isn't the best, and the most important thing is to have an heir. I think it's crucial that you have an heir as soon as possible." Baili Le looked pained, but his eyes flashed with malice.
She never suffers a loss, and since Ouyang Yue had humiliated her on the spot, she couldn't retaliate. Instead, she created chaos in the Chen Prince's mansion. Her true intentions were clear to everyone: Baili Chen was in poor health and might die at any time. To avoid being left without a son to care for him in his final days, finding someone to bear her a son was crucial. Ouyang Yue had been in the mansion for over two months without a single word; that was hardly a responsible act!
Ouyang Yue gave a cold laugh, her eyes extremely icy. Baili Le reacted quickly, waiting for her here.
Baili Chen frowned upon hearing this: "Is my fifth sister really me? I'm alive and well, why would I be in such a hurry to have offspring? What do you mean by this? Get out of here. Cough cough cough..." Suddenly, Baili Chen burst into anger, then coughed heavily, showing no respect for Baili Le whatsoever, and shooed her out.
Baili Le was also stunned. No matter how outrageous Baili Chen had been in the past, he would never have said such a thing. She had come on behalf of Emperor Mingxian, and he actually dared to drive her away: "Seventh brother, don't be ungrateful. Your sister is doing all this for your own good!"
"For my own good!"
"Bang!" Baili Chen suddenly slammed his hand on the table, the force so great that the table wobbled and he fell to the ground. A look of extreme anger flashed across Baili Chen's face: "I'm perfectly healthy! I've only been married for two months. Do I need to rush into having a child? What do you mean? Are you saying I'm unwell and about to die with no one to see me off? Fine, fine, so that's how you all see me! Fine!" Baili Chen suddenly turned around, and Leng Sha was standing right next to him. In an instant, Baili Chen drew the sword from Leng Sha's chest and charged directly at Baili Le.
Seeing the gleaming sword, Baili Le was stunned and immediately ordered, "Quickly, protect this princess!"
"Protect the princess!" Baili Le's men immediately surrounded him. Baili Le angrily rebuked, "Seventh brother, what do you want to do? I am here to congratulate you on Father's orders. It's one thing for you not to accept Father's goodwill, but you even drew your sword to stab me. This is disrespectful. Do you... do you still respect Father?"
"Get out of the way!" Baili Chen rushed over and, seeing the palace maids blocking his way, kicked one of them to the ground. At this moment, the guards that Baili Le brought were also shocked. Was Prince Chen serious? They rushed in to protect him. This was Prince Chen's residence. It would be strange if they really acted recklessly. The servants of Prince Chen's residence rushed over and surrounded them, their faces full of anger.
Baili Chen, however, kicked each of the palace maids with deadly force, his face flushed and his eyes gleaming with malice. The maids were kicked to the ground, unable to get up. For a moment, Baili Le was left alone to face Baili Chen, who charged at her with his sword. A sudden chill ran through her as she saw the gleaming silver sword aimed at her brow. Baili Le trembled with fear, screaming "Ah!" and collapsed to the ground. Baili Chen looked down at Baili Le coldly: "Did you curse me to die young?"
Baili Le was so frightened that his face turned pale. At this moment, the people in the hall seemed to have come to their senses. Who would have thought that a proper celebration would turn into the host holding a sword to the guest, no, his own sister?
Madam Sun cried out in terror, "Stop! That's the Fifth Princess! If the Fifth Princess is injured, Prince Chen, you will surely be implicated! Stop now!"
Suddenly, Baili Chen swung his sword, which seemed to dance in the air before hurtling towards Madam Sun with a whooshing sound. Madam Sun, who had been standing, screamed in terror as the sword flew towards her and slumped back into her chair with a thud. The sword pierced the red pillar behind her with a 'whoosh' and a 'clang,' penetrating quite a bit. No one doubted that if that sword had struck her, she would have been seriously injured, if not killed. Madam Sun trembled violently, her legs shaking uncontrollably, unable to utter a single word of resistance. The people in the hall paled in shock. This Prince Chen was far too audacious! First, he nearly injured the Fifth Princess with his sword, and now he had almost injured Madam Sun. This was simply... simply tyrannical!
Baili Chen coldly looked at Baili Le and Madam Sun: "I was in a good mood today, but someone has ruined it. It seems this banquet can't be held. Who knows when I might suddenly die? Maybe in a year, maybe in a month, maybe tomorrow, or the next moment. My health is very weak, cough cough cough... I can't entertain you all any longer. You may all leave!" Baili Chen was actually kicking people out like that, which was extremely impolite. These people had come with gifts, some hadn't even had a sip of tea, and now they were leaving—no, being kicked out by him. Who could feel good about that?
Seeing that the sword had already pierced elsewhere and that his critical strike had been averted, Baili Le angrily said, "Seventh Imperial Brother, you actually wanted to kill me! You dare to kill me! Today, I, the princess, have come on behalf of Father Emperor. If Father Emperor were here, would you also do this? Do you want to harm Father Emperor's life? Do you want to commit regicide and patricide?"
This is a heinous crime. As members of the royal family, they would not be punished by having their entire family executed, but if they were convicted, no one in the Prince Chen's mansion would be able to escape!
Baili Chen suddenly sneered: "Since I'm about to die, what am I afraid of? My fifth sister has been cursing me to die soon ever since she entered this house. When I'm about to die, I'll just find a few more to take with me. Since my fifth sister likes you so much, you'll be the first one. Without a sword, I can strangle you with my bare hands!"
"You! What's wrong with you! How dare you say such disrespectful things to your brothers!" Baili Le was so angry and frightened that she couldn't speak, because she saw that Baili Chen's eyes had such an expression, with a ferocious madness. Everyone else in the hall was also stunned.
"Don't worry, I won't live much longer anyway. Even your royal sister is vying to send me women. At worst, I'll die with you. A few more companions will keep me company, so I won't be lonely down there. Oh, and a few more people here can also serve you down there, right?" Baili Chen suddenly smiled at everyone, his expression making them tense, as if afraid he might actually go crazy and do as he said.
Baili Le turned pale with fright and said, "I...you want to kill me? No, I...I was just talking nonsense. I had no intention of cursing my brother just now."
"Hmph! Scared now? Fifth Princess wants me dead so badly, I'm afraid if I suddenly die one day, it will be because of her. Everyone here heard that, they can be my witnesses. If Fifth Princess doesn't pay enough for the funeral, I'll haunt you every day as a ghost and demand compensation." Baili Chen's words were far too unrestrained. They were very superstitious and dared not speak carelessly, but he kept rambling on and on, making everyone around him feel a chill run down their spines.
"Your Majesty, I didn't hear anything...."
"Your Majesty, I just dozed off and didn't see or hear anything."
"Your Majesty..." The people in the hall spoke one after another, shaking their heads and avoiding looking at Baili Le, whose face was extremely pale and who looked dazed.
Baili Le was furious. These people present were all cunning and shrewd; they were all incredibly clever. Baili Le had a conflict with Baili Chen, and Baili Le had suffered a loss. Wouldn't she complain back to the palace? But Baili Chen was also highly favored by them. Although the two siblings had a conflict and even fought, Baili Chen had actually been very restrained. Baili Le wasn't actually injured at all. Would Emperor Mingxian really order Baili Chen's death over this? Absolutely not! At most, he would be punished, which would be insignificant to Baili Chen. But if Baili Le asked them to testify, and Emperor Mingxian was enraged and punished him severely, wouldn't they be considered accomplices? As long as Baili Chen didn't die, wouldn't they come after them? They didn't want to offend Baili Chen for no reason. As for Baili Le, there was nothing they could do.
Judging from Baili Chen's behavior just now, who knows if he'll really go crazy and not let them leave the manor? Smart people would know what to choose.
Baili Chen looked at these people indifferently and said, "Oh, you all really came together. You all fell asleep at the same time. Well, if you leave this manor and I hear any unpleasant rumors, hmph, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Those people all lowered their heads and remained silent, which meant they acquiesced.
Baili was even more furious, her face contorted with rage. She had truly lost face today, being bullied to such an extent. How could she swallow this insult? "Does Seventh Brother intend to kill me to silence me?"
Baili Chen smiled faintly: "What are you saying, Fifth Princess? You just accidentally fell down while walking. You're not in any pain or illness. Do you expect me to carry you out of the manor? You're an unmarried young lady. Doing this won't do you any good. Although we are siblings, we can't do something so unreasonable. Stop making a fuss!" He actually started blaming Baili Le and treated the incident as a simple fall.
"You're dreaming! I'll definitely report this to my father and make him stand up for me. Just you wait!" Baili Le felt as if a fire was burning inside her, an intense heat that seemed to burn her very soul. Her breath was hot with rage. She turned and walked out, and seeing the palace maids who had just gotten up from the ground, she kicked them in anger. "Useless things! You can't even protect this princess! Go back to the palace and receive your punishment!" This was clearly a case of taking her anger out on them, but the palace maids dared not resist.
Just then, two people walked in from outside. One was dressed in a dark brown robe with a black belt around his waist and his hair was tied in a bun. Beside him was a tall and handsome young man in white. He walked into the hall and seemed a little surprised that no one had announced their arrival. Ouyang Yue, who was sitting in a high position in the hall, saw the two people. Her face darkened and her eyes turned cold. She suddenly waved her hand to the side. Leng Sha, who was closer to the entrance of the hall, suddenly moved his hand. At this time, everyone was focused on Baili Le, who was leaving angrily, so no one noticed that Leng Sha suddenly threw something.
Just as Baili Le was running towards the door, she suddenly screamed and her whole body lunged forward uncontrollably. The two men were walking over at that moment, and a beautiful figure suddenly flew in front of them. The man in white was visibly startled, but the next moment, he suddenly ran a few steps faster, and Baili Le pounced on him. In the blink of an eye, the two were already embracing. Those who were just reacting, both inside and outside the hall, were so surprised that their mouths were agape, and they were speechless for a moment.
However, their embrace lasted only a moment. The next instant, their bodies swayed, and they tumbled to the ground in that embrace. In fact, due to the force of the fall, they rolled several more times. When the man saw someone rushing towards him, he exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, who are you? What's wrong with you..." Seemingly too surprised, he hurriedly tried to push her away, but his hand was mishandled, and he grabbed the woman's clothes instead. With this tug, there was only a 'ripping' sound, but it was gradually drowned out by the screams of the two rolling on the ground.
Baili Le was terrified. After stopping, she only gasped for breath and didn't say anything. However, she didn't notice that the whole courtyard was eerily quiet. There were at least a hundred people in the courtyard, including guests and servants, and they all seemed to have been silenced at the same time. How could this not be eerie?
As Baili Le gradually calmed down, she noticed that everyone was staring at her. A sense of unease crept in, and she suddenly looked down to find herself on top of a man in an extremely suggestive position. Startled, she sprang up like a fish, but a gust of wind blew by, making her feel cool. However, when she looked down, her vision blurred, and she screamed angrily, "You shameless scoundrel, you deserve to die!"
It's already summer, and people are gradually wearing thinner clothes. Baili Le is no exception. She's wearing an undergarment underneath a long, gold-pink robe. But now, the robe has been pulled open from the shoulder, revealing Baili Le's jade-like skin and her undergarment. The pulling even reveals half of her pale yellow bodice. Baili Le's breasts are quite full, and she was almost completely exposed.
The person lying on the ground seemed a little dazed, but the next moment they realized what had happened. When they saw it was Baili Le, their expression changed drastically: "Fifth Princess! This student has been rude. Quick, quickly put this on." The person immediately took off their clothes and wrapped up Baili Le's exposed clothes. However, in a corner unnoticed by others, the person's eyes flashed, a glint of light in their eyes. They wrapped Baili Le from the front, but lost their grip from the back. With a nimble pull, Baili Le's clothes fell to the ground with a 'thud'. How could Baili Le not feel this? She immediately screamed in shame and indignation. With her outer clothes off, her inner garment was very thin, even revealing the shape of her undergarment, which was yellow and very alluring.
The man exclaimed, "Princess, quickly put all these clothes on her!" He then draped all the clothes over Baili Le and took the opportunity to hug her tightly.
Baili Le trembled with shame and indignation, her breasts almost constantly rubbing against the man's body, which was only covered by his underwear. The man's face turned red, and everyone else sensed something was wrong and stared wide-eyed.
Baili Le's maids then reacted and rushed forward to surround him. The man took the opportunity to leave, leaving Baili Le alone in the courtyard, her face alternating between red and green, as if she were stunned by shame and indignation. Her expression kept changing, but she didn't seem to know what to do next.
Baili Le was a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yet, she undressed in front of everyone and embraced a man for quite some time, even pressing her bare skin against his chest. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, this was considered a loss of chastity for a woman. She would have to marry the man or be drowned in a pig cage. Of course, Baili Le was a princess, the beloved princess of Emperor Mingxian, and no one would dare to say it out loud. But the fact remained that Baili Le had been humiliated and lost her chastity in front of others.
Suddenly, Baili Le shouted, "I'm going to kill you!" and charged at the man. The man pleaded, "Princess, I didn't react in time and caused you such humiliation. I'm willing to take responsibility. If killing me can appease your hatred, I'm willing to die to atone for my sins." He stood there with his eyes wide open. If anyone thought Baili Le would let him go, they would be wrong. Baili Le was a woman of exceptional talent. Among the younger generation, only someone like Xuan Yuan Chao Hua could be worthy of her status. She had come today to disrupt Xuan Yuan Chao Hua's selection of people, so of course she wanted to cause a scene. Who would have thought that this would be the result? Now she was being hugged by a man, and so intimately at that. No matter how arrogant Baili Le was, she knew her reputation was ruined. Naturally, she hated this man intensely.
Enraged, she kicked the man in the leg. He groaned and fell to the ground. But that wasn't all. Baili Le showed no mercy in the next few kicks, and even summoned several palace maids to beat the man. Although the man was strong and sturdy, he couldn't withstand the indiscriminate kicks from so many people. In the end, he groaned in pain. The brown-clad man who had walked over with the man in white couldn't help but say, "Fifth Princess, even if my son has made some mistakes, if you want him dead, don't beat him to death like this! His death is so unjust!" The man cried out in great pain.
Baili Le didn't stop, but became even angrier and kicked the man hard in the groin!
"Agh!" The man's face contorted in horror, turning purple and veins bulging on his forehead. His expression was grotesquely distorted. The surrounding men stared wide-eyed, sweating profusely, trembling with fear. This Fifth Princess, Baili Le, was utterly depraved. It was clearly her own fault for losing her balance and lunging at the man; it was only during their tumble that her clothes were exposed. He hadn't accused her of deliberately seducing him, and now she was trying to beat him to death? Her methods were incredibly cruel and immoral. Kicking a man in the groin was unacceptable, especially since this man was Baili Le's benefactor. If he hadn't caught her, Baili Le would have been injured. This was truly repaying kindness with enmity; such a person was utterly despicable!
Of course, almost all the men present were indignant. Being kicked, especially for such a trivial reason, a mere act of venting their anger, was incredibly pitiful. The women, too, couldn't help but feel sorry for them. If this man were a lecherous scoundrel deliberately trying to ruin their reputations, they wouldn't object to him being crippled. But this Fifth Princess was far too domineering, so infuriatingly domineering.
Baili Le felt the disapproving looks directed at her, which only fueled her anger. She had been defiled! She, the most favored princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had been defiled! Judging from the man's slurred address, he was clearly not yet an official. How could such a person be worthy of marrying her? But no matter how angry Baili Le was, she had already been pulled away. Not only did she have no chance to fight back, but if she were to actually kill this man, even if Emperor Mingxian favored her greatly, this matter would be impossible to suppress. Although Baili Le was willful and capricious, she wasn't stupid. But accepting this situation was out of the question!
No, she had to go back to the palace to find her mother now. She had to get her mother to find a solution. How could she possibly marry someone like that? It had to be someone like Xuan Yuan Chao Hua, at least. If all else failed, she could get her mother to pressure her into marrying Xuan Yuan Chao Hua quickly, and then those people would have no choice but to shut up. Yes, that was the only way now.
Yes, go to the palace to find Mother Consort right now!
Just as Baili Le was about to rush out, he heard Ouyang Yue suddenly say, "Oh, it's the Crown Prince's tutor and Young Master Hong Yicheng."
Everyone seemed to be suddenly jolted awake. The events had been so sudden, their minds were in complete disarray. It wasn't until Ouyang Yue pointed it out that they recognized him—it was none other than the Crown Prince's tutor, Hong Wantang, and his eldest son, Hong Yicheng. Hong Yicheng had repeatedly botched things, angering the Crown Prince, who had gradually distanced himself from the center of power. Fearing the Crown Prince's wrath, Hong Yicheng had been sent out of the capital, and for a time, he seemed to have vanished. Of course, this was also one of the reasons why Ouyang Rou had repeatedly failed to reply to her messages: firstly, she had no use for Hong Yicheng or the Hong family; secondly, Hong Yicheng was genuinely not there, so how could they meet? But who would have thought that such a thing would happen as soon as Hong Yicheng returned to the capital? Suddenly, the first wave of pain disappeared, but now Hong Yicheng was still rolling slightly on the ground with his hands covering his private parts, and his expression had not changed. At that time, Baili Le had kicked him angrily, and that kick could be said to have been done with all her strength. Although she was a woman, when people are angry, their strength can often increase many times. That kick was not light.
Hong Wantang immediately bowed to Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue: "Your humble servant greets Prince Chen and Princess Chen. I heard that Prince Chen and Princess Chen are holding a belated banquet, so I brought my son to pay my respects. I just didn't expect such an accident to happen as soon as we entered." Hong Wantang's face darkened. His son had been kicked in that place and was in so much pain that he couldn't get up. How could he be in a good mood?
Ouyang Yue looked at Hong Yicheng, who lay on the ground, dripping with sweat from the pain, yet a smug smile playing on his lips, and sneered inwardly. Based on her past life and her experiences in her rebirth, she knew that Hong Yicheng was utterly despicable. Before, for the sake of the Hong family, he had deliberately seduced the young and naive Ouyang Yue, while in reality, he had already been having an affair with Ouyang Rou. Once she was no longer of use, he killed her without hesitation. Later, realizing she was still useful, he schemed to ruin her reputation, forcing her to comply. Not finding an opportunity to kill Hong Yicheng back then was a major problem, but the eldest son of the Crown Prince's tutor wasn't someone to be killed lightly; it would inevitably attract investigation. Besides, at that time, she also had a senior brother named Wuming, but now…
Baili Chen stared coldly at Hong Yicheng. Back when he first met Ouyang Yue and was still pursuing her, he had investigated Hong Yicheng and knew that Hong Yicheng wanted to harm Ouyang Yue. Baili Chen harbored murderous intent towards this man. He was standing roughly in the same position as Ouyang Yue at the time, and with Leng Sha's intervention, he naturally saw everything clearly. This Hong Yicheng was truly a despicable and shameless scoundrel. If he hadn't recognized Baili Le, why would he have rushed over and hugged her? If he hadn't taken the opportunity to roll over and pull at Baili Le's clothes, and hadn't deliberately used the opportunity to show the world that he and Baili Le had already been intimate, none of this would have happened.
Of course, Baili Chen had no sympathy for Baili Le. Baili Chen was nominally favored by Emperor Mingxian, and so was Baili Le. She often secretly sought opportunities to harm him. Among all the princes and princesses, he didn't care about anyone except Baili Zhi. However, he had to praise Hong Yicheng for his quick thinking. He actually made two moves at this time and ruined Baili Le to this extent. He was indeed a talent. However, Baili Chen felt very happy.
Baili Le dared to send women to Prince Chen's mansion and ruin his relationship with Yue'er; he deserved to die a hundred times over!
Ouyang Yue looked at Baili Le, who was furious but tightly clutching Hong Yicheng's coat, and then at Hong Yicheng, who had been beaten and was lying on the ground. She seemed unsure of what to do next. Everyone present was the same, and they were all a little confused. What should they do next?
Baili Chen immediately said, "Quickly, change the Fifth Princess's clothes, send her back to the palace, and have someone fetch the imperial physician to examine Young Master Hong."
Baili Chen was the master of the Chen Prince's mansion, so his order naturally prompted his servants to immediately run errands. Before long, Baili Le was escorted by a carriage straight to the palace. The imperial physician also rushed to the Chen Prince's mansion. At first, he didn't know what was going on and thought that something had happened to Baili Chen or Ouyang Yue, otherwise why would he be in such a hurry? The servant even said that something serious had happened, but he wouldn't say more when asked. The old imperial physician was sweating profusely, and the medicine boy behind him, carrying a medicine box, was also out of breath. But when he rushed in, he saw that Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue were sitting there with rosy complexions and seemed perfectly normal. Just as he was wondering, Baili Yi said urgently, "Imperial physician, you've come at the right time. Quickly go to the guest room to see Young Master Hong."
The imperial physician, surnamed He, was known as Physician He. He wore a long robe and was middle-aged, with a handsome face. His expression was one of great suspicion. Who else but Prince Chen and his consort would bother a physician like himself to come to their residence? However, he dared not say much at this point and, with his apprentice, hurried towards the guest rooms. Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue followed closely behind. What's the most abundant thing in the world? A lively atmosphere, after all. The various households that hadn't yet left Prince Chen's residence all followed.
Upon arriving at the guest courtyard, just as the imperial physician approached, he heard a cry of pain coming from inside. He frowned and asked, "Prince Chen, may I ask what is inside?"
"Alas, inside is Hong Yicheng, the eldest son of the Crown Prince's tutor. He came to congratulate me and the Princess Consort. Who knew such a major event would occur? It's truly..." Baili Chen didn't go into details, but the imperial physician noticed the various expressions following Baili Chen's words, and even some whispers and discussions arose. It sounded like something about the Fifth Princess, but he didn't dare to linger and inquire. Since Baili Chen was in such a hurry to find someone at the Imperial Hospital, he was afraid that if he delayed Hong Yicheng's treatment, Baili Chen would blame him.
Upon entering the guest room, they found that Hong Yicheng's face was extremely pale and he was sweating profusely. It seemed that he was in even more pain than he had been in the courtyard outside the hall. Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue exchanged a puzzled look. Hong Yicheng had been pretending for so long, wasn't he tired? Wasn't that going a bit too far?
Seeing this, the doctor also looked puzzled and surprised: "I wonder where Young Master Hong is injured? What is the condition? How do you feel now?"
Hong Wantang was in the room at that moment. When Ouyang Yue heard this, she took a step back, and Baili Chen also moved a little further away. Upon seeing this, Hong Wantang immediately said, "Imperial Physician, my son... he was kicked in the genital area before, and he has been crying in pain ever since."
Doctor He was clearly stunned. He had seen many patients over the years, but this was a rare sight. Hong Wantang, disregarding his embarrassment, urged Doctor He to examine him. After taking the pulse, Doctor He turned to Ouyang Yue and said, "Princess Consort Chen and all the maids present, please excuse yourselves."
Baili Chen said, "I'll trouble the imperial physician to take a good look at it. Yue'er, let's go out first." Ouyang Yue nodded. She wasn't really interested in seeing that scumbag's thing.
However, as they walked out, Baili Chen whispered to her with a hint of smugness, "Wife, I can guarantee that my place is definitely bigger and stronger than his."
Ouyang Yue was calmly walking out when she heard these words and almost collapsed. She was so shocked that she nearly vomited blood: "What are you saying! In front of us, you're just... what can I say about you!"
Baili Chen smiled and said, "My wife agrees too, right?"
Ouyang Yue rolled her eyes: "Yes, yes, yes, although I haven't seen anyone else's, you must be the strongest and biggest in the world, is that alright?"
Baili Chen smiled and whispered, "That's all for my wife's happiness. I've put in a lot of effort." Ouyang Yue was a little curious about what he said, but she quickly suppressed her curiosity. She couldn't ask right away, or Baili Chen would get too cocky.
After waiting outside for a while, the imperial physician came out with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "Prince Chen, Princess Chen, please allow me a moment to speak." Hong Wantang also came out, and the group gathered together. The imperial physician couldn't help but say, "This young master Hong has suffered a severe injury to his lower body. I'm afraid it will affect his sexual function in the future."
"What!" Upon hearing this, Hong Wantang's expression immediately changed drastically. Didn't that mean Hong Yicheng was useless and could forget about having an heir?
"Oh no! Young Master Hong has been kicked by the Fifth Princess and is now impotent! Heavens!"
"What? No way, it's that serious? The Fifth Princess is too ruthless!"
"That's right! This is bad luck! Even a princess can't be so domineering!"
"Was Young Master Hong also trying to save the Fifth Princess back then? That's so tragic!"
Hong Wantang's face turned ashen: "Damn it! Men, help the young master into the palace with me! I'll risk my life to seek justice from the Emperor!" With that, Hong Wantang stormed towards the Prince Chen's residence. Previously, the Crown Prince's tutor's residence had a bad relationship with Ouyang Yue, and now Ouyang Yue was someone they couldn't afford to offend. Although they were the Crown Prince's men, the Crown Prince was deliberately keeping them at arm's length. If they had any other enemies, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them.
The imperial physician's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this, just as Hong Wantang entered the palace.
