Chapter 130 Shame
Chapter 130 Shame
"Miss Zhao is too jealous. He's a prince after all, so it's normal for him to have one or two women."
"But it's a bit too much to act so absurdly in the post station."
"Ah, the people of Zi Luo are open-minded and naturally don't have so many taboos. The people there are also physically strong. I'm afraid Miss Zhao won't be able to bear it if she marries there."
"If you ask me, marrying a man like this will only bring you more suffering."
......
There was endless debate in the crowd. Some people thought that the Third Prince was acting dissolutely, while others thought that Zhao Yurou was overreacting.
The chief eunuch who announced the decree heaved a long sigh when he heard about the chaotic situation inside. He had been through many ups and downs with the emperor, and now he could only sigh that the world was going downhill, snorted coldly, and left.
After he returned to the palace with the imperial decree and told the Second Prince Yuwen Yi everything about the matter, the matter could no longer be concealed, so he issued an imperial decree to invite Fan Yunfei and Zhao Yurou to the palace.
Kyoto was quite lively today. Such a big thing happened in one day. Zhao Yurou caught the third prince of Zi Luo Kingdom committing adultery.
When the Duke heard the rumors outside, he was dumbfounded. He ordered people to check and found that Zhao Yurou was not in the mansion and had slipped away long ago.
Jiang Ce in the Jiang Mansion felt powerless and could only close the door and wait for the second prince's punishment.
Not long after, Zhao Yurou was released back to the Duke's Mansion. Unexpectedly, the Second Prince not only did not punish her, but instead sent some gold, silver, and jewelry as a token of comfort.
After all, if Zhao Yurou didn't marry, the second prince would have to find another noble lady. But once Fan Yunfei's scandal was exposed, anyone who was sent to marry would offend her.
At the same time, the second prince also ordered Fan Yunfei to take Zhao Yurou away the next day.
How embarrassing.
In the post station, Princess Suyun waited until everything was completely quiet before she slowly crawled out from under the bed.
She asked someone to draw water and soaked her whole body in the tub. She didn't raise her head from the water until she was almost suffocated, gasping for breath.
Looking at the red marks on her body, she rubbed them hard, cursing Fan Yunfei as a beast in her heart.
Yesterday, after being thrown out by the General's Mansion, she had no choice but to return to the post station. Before she had time to change out of her clothes, Fan Yunfei also returned. He pushed the door open without knocking and saw her outfit. His eyes flashed with interest. "You are quite sensible. Where did you get that skirt? It suits my taste very well."
Later, something happened that she didn't want to recall.
It's really ridiculous. Although she is a princess, to the royal family of Zi Luo Kingdom, women are just men's playthings and accessories. They don't care about ethics and only see who has more powerful means.
I heard that it's different in Kyoto. People here care a lot about a woman's chastity. Now that she is like this, I'm afraid no man would look down on her.
Princess Suyun gave a bitter smile. She had been soaking in the bathtub for a long time. Even when the hot water had turned cold, she still didn't get up.
After an unknown amount of time, the curtain was carefully opened by a maid: "Princess, the Third Prince has returned, and he wants you to come over."
Princess Suyun shuddered all over and stood up numbly. The maid breathed a sigh of relief and helped her change into a new set of clothes before sending her to Fan Yunfei's room.
"You pack up, we'll go back tomorrow." Fan Qufei's face looked very bad. He had lost all his face after what happened today.
"I understand." Princess Su Qu suppressed her inner panic. How could tomorrow be so soon? She tentatively asked, "What about the young lady from the Duke's Mansion?"
"Of course she will be with us. Haha, she has caused me so much trouble today. When we return to Zi Luo Country, I will make her regret being born in this world!" Thinking of this, Fan Yunfei suddenly overturned the teacup on the table.
The sound of porcelain breaking was extremely harsh. Princess Suyun said nothing more and quietly returned to her room.
She was waiting, waiting for Du Zhijie to keep her.
After all, if Du Zhijie continues like this, he will die.
In fact, she was also very heartbroken. She really liked Du Zhijie before, but when she saw the gentle and elegant Xiao Chenyang, she was completely defeated. She had no choice but to cut off Xiao Chenyang's face. She originally planned that even if she lost her face, she would keep Xiao Chenyang by her side and take care of him for the rest of her life.
She could only blame the bad timing. If they were born in the same dynasty, she believed Xiao Chenyang would definitely fall in love with her.
Now, I just hope he doesn't blame himself...
The next day, Fan Yunfei was about to set off early in the morning. Zhao Yurou, no one knew what had happened to her in the palace, but she was unusually well-behaved today. She sat in the carriage without saying a word, but she didn't cause any more trouble.
As the team was about to set off, Princess Suyun became more and more anxious.
Why didn't anyone come? Didn't they want the antidote in his hands? Fan Yunfei was a little impatient: "What are you dawdling for? Why don't you leave quickly?"
"The imperial edict has arrived!" A sharp voice rang out. For some reason, Princess Suyun felt a sudden sense of relief. She said to Fan Yunfei, "Brother Emperor, please accept the edict first."
Fan Yunfei frowned, but had no choice but to walk out.
The eunuch read out the imperial decree, which turned out to be to assign Princess Suyun to the Ninth Prince.
Although the ninth prince was born to a palace maid while the emperor was drunk and had never been favored, Princess Suyun still had a victorious smile on her lips when she received the imperial edict.
She knew it was General Du, it must have been arranged by General Du.
Fan Yunfei's expression was somewhat grim. "What's going on? Why is the imperial sister suddenly referred to as the Ninth Prince? He has been here for so long, but he has never met the Ninth Prince, even at the palace banquet."
The eunuch chuckled, "It's not sudden at all. The princess came here to marry a foreign prince. The Second Prince thought the Ninth Prince and the princess were of similar age and would get along well in the future, so he arranged the marriage. Don't worry, Third Prince. The journey to Zi Luo Country is long, so you and the princess must be careful and safe."
After hearing these words and looking at Princess Suyun, Fan Yunfei agreed with a forced smile, and instructed her to find a way to gain the trust of the Ninth Prince, let the Ninth Prince speak well of him in front of the Second Prince, strive for the greatest benefit for him, the Third Prince of Zi Luo Kingdom, and keep this sixth-rank official in his hands.
If she doesn't obey, he will send people back to Kyoto to spread the word that she is a piece of slut.
Princess Suyun's eyelashes trembled, hiding the hatred in her eyes, and nodded obediently.
There was no choice, Fan Yunfei could only take Zhao Yurou away. When they reached the entrance of the city wall, he couldn't help but look back and saw Du Zhijie standing not far away. His pupils suddenly shrank.
Although he can't hear any sound, he can read lips.
Du Zhijie said: "Be careful on the road, this general will kill you."
Because of Du Zhijie's words, Fan Yunfei was worried the whole day.
