Royal Garden, Tingyuxuan.
The maid helped Cen Tingbai lie down on a soft couch in a side room and then left.
After a while, Princess Anyang came over openly. Next to her was a maid, holding a tray.
The eunuch who was guarding outside the door quickly came to greet him, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
"I heard that the Marquis of Jingnan was drunk. I just used the sobering soup from the imperial dining room. It was very good. I will also send a portion to the Marquis of Jingnan." Princess Anyang pretended to be calm.
The eunuch said respectfully, "Your Highness, please."
Princess Anyang took the lead and walked in. After passing through the winding corridor, let the maid holding the hangover soup stand outside the door, then push the door open and go in.
At this time, Cen Tingbai was lying on the couch, his cheeks flushed.
There was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, looking very uncomfortable. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Cen Tingbai immediately looked in the direction of the door with a very surprised expression:
"The eldest princess..."
Princess Anyang's eyes swept up and down his body, she sat down beside his couch, her Dankou-stained fingers stretched out towards Cen Tingbai's face:
"Cen Tingbai, you look a lot like an old friend of mine."
Cen Tingbai turned his head to avoid it, "Eldest Princess, please respect yourself!"
"You are feeling unwell now, and you will want me later." Princess Anyang looked at his face steadily, with obsession and madness in her eyes.
Cen Tingbai looked stunned, "Did you drug this wine? Get out!"
He endured the effects of the medicine and looked uncomfortable, but then stepped back and distanced himself from Princess Anyang.
"So what if you know? If this matter spreads, you will only be guilty of being disrespectful to this palace and should be sentenced to death." Princess Anyang was not afraid at all and looked at him confidently:
"If you are a person who knows the current affairs, you can be my face. I can give you glory and wealth..."
As she spoke, she rushed towards Cen Tingbai again.
Cen Tingbai rolled over and dodged with difficulty...
At this moment, the crisp sound of soup porcelain falling to the ground suddenly sounded outside the door, and the maid shouted in panic:
"Master Hou..."
The next moment, the door of the wing was kicked open.
Marquis Yongning stood coldly at the gate, staring at Princess Anyang as if he were looking at a dead person.
"You..." Princess Anyang was also stunned.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to leave the wall, she was caught by her husband.
Marquis Yongning strode in, grabbed Princess Anyang's hand and dragged her out...
He had heard clearly outside the door just now that Princess Anyang drugged Cen Tingbai and also used coercion and inducement...
All this is Princess Anyang's fault.
But he didn't want to let Cen Tingbai go either.
Dragging Princess Anyang outside the door, Marquis Yongning turned his head to the maid beside him and said:
"Go to the banquet hall and lure a princess over."
He wants Cen Tingbai to be sentenced to death for the crime of obscenity in the harem!
This man suffered such a great shame and humiliation, how could he be allowed to live?
Princess Anyang's eyes widened instantly, what? If a princess is brought here, wouldn't Cen Tingbai be dead?
But at this time, she could not protect herself and did not dare to offend Marquis Yongning...
A stand-in for myself.
If she is gone, you can continue to look for her.
Princess Anyang didn't say anything and was dragged out by Marquis Yongning.
……
After leaving Tingyuxuan, we arrived at a secluded corner of the garden.
Marquis Yongning raised his hand and slapped Princess Anyang: "Bitch!"
Princess Anyang was slapped and fell to the ground, covering her face with tears in her eyes, "Master Hou, I was just confused for a moment... For the sake of the reputation of the Hou family, please keep quiet!"
Marquis Yongning really cannot afford to lose face like this.
How could he let the whole world know that Princess Anyang cuckolded him.
Naturally, he would not spread the word about this matter...
Just let her die quietly.
"You know how to save face now? What about when you shamelessly drugged a man? From tomorrow on, you are not allowed to go out. Pack your luggage. When I finish my report, follow me back to the northwest immediately!" Marquis Yongning said coldly.
Princess Anyang doesn't want to go to the frontier and suffer hardship.
But at this time, it was a blessing that Marquis Yongning did not drag her to the emperor to expose her crime.
Naturally, she did not dare to refute, and said solemnly, "Okay..."
Marquis Yongning glanced at her coldly and said, "Wait until the swelling in your face subsides before you go back. Don't make outsiders suspicious."
"Yes." Princess Anyang lowered her eyebrows and just wanted to escape this disaster.
……
Listening to the eunuch on duty outside Yuxuan, I just felt that it was particularly lively here today.
First Princess Anyang came to deliver sobering soup. Not long after entering, Marquis Yongning came to look for the princess...
Then the couple walked out hand in hand, both smiling deliberately.
Immediately afterwards, people from Beiwang Mansion came to deliver sobering soup.
This Marquis of Jingnan is worthy of being the upstart of the dynasty, and so many people care about him.
"The eldest princess came to see her off just now, but she seemed to have accidentally knocked over the soup cup..." The eunuch said respectfully, "Please, Doctor Xiao."
Xiao Nanxing walked in quickly carrying the hangover soup.
As soon as he saw Cen Tingbai, who was suffering from the effects of the medicine, he immediately opened the lid, held the antidote in front of him, and said:
"Master Marquis is really putting himself in danger. It's okay if you don't drink this wine... This is a calming medicine. Please take it quickly."
Cen Tingbai picked up the decoction and took a sip. He slightly suppressed the boiling blood and said, "If you don't drink it, if something goes wrong and arouses her suspicion, it won't be appropriate."
After all, there are many types of aphrodisiacs.
What it will look like after taking Chinese medicine and when it will take effect are different for each person...
If he didn't drink it and his disguise was flawed, wouldn't he miss such a good opportunity?
Furthermore, except for a few strange poisons, the antidotes to aphrodisiac poisons are all medicines that clear the mind and calm the qi, and detoxification is not difficult.
Even if it is a strange poison, Xiao Nanxing can suppress it with needles and detoxify it after leaving the palace.
Xiao Nanxing checked his pulse and said, "The medicine used by Mr. Hou is an ordinary aphrodisiac. Just drink this Qingxin Decoction and you will be fine."
Cen Tingbai knew that someone would be lured here soon.
To avoid unnecessary complications, after drinking the medicine, he pretended to be sober and left Tingyuxuan with Xiao Nanxing.
……
The plum blossom feast was peaceful.
Not long after, Marquis Yongning came back alone.
Jade, who was secretly poking and waiting for a good show, couldn't help being disappointed when he saw this. He approached Jiang Rong and asked in a low voice:
"Prince Princess, has he not found anyone? Why didn't he make a fuss?"
She was still waiting to see Marquis Yongning catch him and report him.
When the time comes, the emperor must severely punish Princess Anyang, and this bad woman will no longer be able to go against her master!
"Who would make everyone aware of the fact that he was cheated? It is normal for him to keep Princess Anyang a secret without complaining. However, he must take her life in private." Jiang Rong said lightly.
Jade suddenly realized, "On the surface, Marquis Yongning is pretending to be calm and intends to quietly kill Princess Anyang? This is not bad!"
Jiang Rong's eyes flashed slightly. Marquis Yongning must have thought so.
However, will Princess Anyang sit still and wait for death?
