Hai Ling was puzzled. She had already told him not to yell anymore, so why was he covering her mouth? She really wanted to bite Xi Lingfeng.
Does he even realize how ambiguous and suggestive his current posture is? What kind of behavior is this, so late at night?
Actually, it's not Xi Lingfeng's fault. Among the people who came, there might be some powerful experts. Hai Ling had no internal energy left, so her breathing was naturally very heavy. If someone with profound internal energy were to concentrate, they would be able to find their location with a little effort. That's why he covered Hai Ling's mouth.
But he didn't say anything, so Hailing didn't know. She didn't dare to move, so she leaned against him, smelling his fragrance, not daring to move or curse.
A large group of people had already rushed outside Qinyue Pavilion, forming a dense, dark mass.
At the very front, without exception, was Emperor Feng Zixiao. At this moment, Feng Zixiao exuded a chilling killing intent, so violent that he was almost ready to kill.
What should have been a pleasant banquet tonight has turned into something infuriating.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ye, whom the Emperor trusted most, the person personally trained by his father to suppress the Jiang family army, has now disappeared without a trace.
The 20,000 cavalrymen were just the official figure; the actual number on horseback was 50,000. Cavalry has always been more expensive than infantry, so the cost of 50,000 cavalrymen was a huge expense every year. But unexpectedly, this painstakingly trained army was taken away by Bai Ye. That bastard, who knows where he took them?
He had originally summoned people to the Imperial Study, intending for them to brainstorm a way to find Bai Ye and the Bai family army, but after waiting and waiting, the Prime Minister still hadn't appeared.
Finally, he sent out a eunuch to look for him, and he was told that the Prime Minister had secretly come to Qinyue Pavilion alone. Qinyue Pavilion is very close to the inner palace, especially to the Empress's Zhengyi Palace.
Almost instantly, Feng Zixiao had some thoughts in mind, but then Right Chancellor Sima Yuan added a comment.
"The Left Prime Minister's refusal of the marriage proposal last time, could it be because of someone?"
Now, everyone in the study had some thoughts. Yes, the Left Prime Minister did not accept the Emperor's bestowed marriage last time. Could it be that he really has someone he likes? Otherwise, why would he go to Qinyue Pavilion alone so late at night?
Feng Zixiao could no longer hold back. He stood up and ordered the eunuch, "Prepare the carriage for Qinyue Pavilion."
Which of the ministers behind them wanted to fall behind? They all followed closely behind. Who wouldn't want to watch the show? They weren't fools.
Left Prime Minister Xi Lingfeng is aloof and does not form cliques or seek personal gain in the court. He always keeps to himself, so while everyone is polite to him on the surface, they ostracize him in private. Now that they have something to laugh at, who would let it go? Everyone followed behind Feng Zixiao and marched in a grand procession toward Qinyue Pavilion.
The area around Qinyue Pavilion was quiet and still.
However, before the group even entered the pavilion, they heard shy whispers and seductive moans emanating from within. Which of the men present hadn't experienced such matters of love and intimacy? They were all too familiar with these things.
Feng Zixiao immediately ordered the eunuch beside him: "Go, I want to see who dares to do such a despicable thing in Qinyue Pavilion."
The eunuchs obeyed the order, and several people rushed over, pulled back the brocade gauze in front of the Qinyue Pavilion, and the situation inside was immediately visible.
A woman, half-undressed, was lying face down on a stone table. A man, with only his pants down, revealing a patch of white flesh, was vigorously moving, and the soft, satisfied moans were coming from the woman's mouth.
Everyone outside gasped in astonishment. Many blushed, the older folks thrilled by the exhilarating scene, lamenting how powerful they hadn't felt in years. The younger ones stared in amazement, marveling at the incredible position, thinking, "Wow, there's such a position! It's amazing! I'll have to learn from it and try it out tonight."
Not far away, one of the two people on the big tree suddenly went limp and almost fell to the ground.
The one whose body went limp was naturally Hai Ling. Although she had seen scenes of men and women making love before, this was a completely naked scene! Oh my god, she couldn't take it!
Fortunately, a hand reached out incredibly quickly and covered her eyes, gently and considerately, as if afraid of disgracing her eyes.
Actually, she was afraid of offending her eyes; she was just too excited, really excited. From her past life to this one, she was finally seeing real guns and bullets on camera.
But some people, oblivious to her feelings, covered her eyes and mouth.
Then she discovered something terrible: she was snuggling tightly in the arms of the Left Prime Minister again. Was it really necessary to do this? If Hai Ling hadn't been trying her best to hold back, she really, really wanted to kick Xi Lingfeng off the tree and yell, "I'm not a saint! What kind of behavior is this, hugging and cuddling me like this?" Besides, she had just witnessed such an offensive scene.
Those at the top were getting excited, and those below were not going to stay calm either.
Those outside Qinyue Pavilion were green with envy, but those inside remained oblivious, continuing their actions with grunts and groans. They were simply too engrossed and absorbed in their activities.
Feng Zixiao's bloodthirsty voice rang out: "Men, arrest this adulterous couple."
The palace guards immediately ignored them and rushed into Qinyue Pavilion, grabbing the adulterous couple and dragging them out.
At this moment, the two people inside the pavilion finally woke up and looked outside in a panic.
Behind Feng Zixiao, the Right Chancellor Sima Yuan was extremely pleased with himself. Xi Lingfeng and Jiang Hailing, how dare you two hit my son! Now I will take my revenge on you severely. Who will dare to bully the Sima family in the future?
But before Sima Yuan could utter his thoughts, he opened his eyes wide, rubbed them in disbelief, and then rubbed them again.
Because the couple caught by the guards were not Empress Jiang Hailing and Prime Minister Xi Lingfeng, but his son Sima Zhuo and Ye Xiuying, the daughter of Grand Tutor Ye, who had just entered the palace.
Sima Yuan was struck dumb and could not react in time.
Among the group of ministers was Grand Tutor Ye. When Grand Tutor Ye saw this scene, he could not bear it. He had been excited for a while when he saw the posture, but who knew that the person having an affair with him was actually his daughter? Let him die! Grand Tutor Ye could not bear the shock and fainted. However, no one paid any attention to him at this time.
In the darkness, Sima Zhuo finally realized what was happening. He quickly and nimbly pulled up his trousers and then rushed to the Emperor's feet: "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened, I don't know anything, please forgive me, please forgive me."
Ye Xiuying, who had been enjoying herself under Sima Zhuo, finally came to her senses and quickly pulled her clothes to cover her jade-like body. She had only just come to her senses and didn't know why this had happened, so she couldn't help but cry.
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me! Xiuya doesn't know why this is happening."
Feng Zixiao's handsome face changed drastically, his eyes turned cold and fierce, his hands clenched tightly, his fingertips turned white and blue, and the veins bulged out.
"Guards, drag these two away and beat them to death with clubs."
At the emperor's command, the guards rushed forward like tigers and wolves, grabbed the two men, and carried them away.
Right Chancellor Sima Yuan reacted, rushed to the emperor's feet, and cried out, "Your Majesty, please spare Zhuo'er this time! This poor old minister is old and has only one son, whom I rely on to care for me in my old age and see me off in my final days. Your Majesty, please spare his dog's life for my sake!"
Sima Yuan couldn't understand why his flawless plan had gone wrong. It was supposed to be Jiang Hailing and Xi Lingfeng involved, but in the end, it turned out to be his son and the newly arrived Ye Xiuying. The emperor was already in a bad mood today, and now that he had caught his concubine having an affair, how could he let them off the hook?
Sima Yuan wept uncontrollably at the thought of his son's impending death, tears streaming down his face. No one dared to speak, for this was, after all, the emperor's family matter. Sima Yuan's son was truly audacious, daring to even lay hands on the emperor's woman. And Ye Xiuying, wasn't she determined to marry the emperor? How come she was playing around with Sima Zhuo, and in such a provocative way at that? Even the emperor probably hadn't been able to play like that. He had really gone too far. Wasn't it said that to die under a peony flower is to be romantic even in death? Then he would be content to die.
However, Sima Zhuo didn't think so, and he yelled at his father in a shrill voice.
"Father, I don't want to die! Please save me! Please save me!"
