Looking at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, and then at Yan Yiyi, who stood unharmed before everyone, the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family felt a huge surge of emotion inside.
The eunuch dared not lie, but if Yan Yiyi was not inside Chonghua Hall, then who was in there?
At this moment, Madame Jiang the Second, who had not found her daughter, began to shiver all over. She suddenly grabbed hold of the leading Madame Jiang, her eyes reddening as she looked at her, wanting to speak but finding herself speechless.
When the leading Madame Jiang saw her sister-in-law in such a state, she immediately had an ominous premonition and anxiously looked towards the Empress Dowager, about to speak. However, the Emperor spoke first.
"Bring someone to open Chonghua Hall," the Emperor declared. "I want to see who dares to commit licentious acts in the imperial harem."
At the Emperor’s command, Wei Qi led a troop of Imperial Guards and charged towards Chonghua Hall.
The Empress Dowager felt a vague unease, yet her face remained calm. However, when the leading Madame Jiang, in her panic, approached her and rudely grabbed her hand, the Empress Dowager’s composure began to fracture.
"Empress Dowager, Wanying..."
As soon as the leading Madame Jiang spoke, a heavy feeling sank in the Empress Dowager’s heart, and she was about to stop the Imperial Guards from entering Chonghua Hall when it was too late.
"Bang!"
The doors of Chonghua Hall were thrown open, and seven or eight Imperial Guards rushed in.
"Ah~"
After just a moment, a desperate, piercing female cry echoed from inside Chonghua Hall.
As soon as the cry was heard, the officials hardly reacted, but the female family members became agitated.
"This voice... it sounds like Princess Jiang’s!"
The realization struck like thunder, and the leading Madame Jiang felt dizzy, while Madame Jiang the Second collapsed to the ground.
The rest of the Jiang Family, each and every one of them, stood frozen like statues.
Even the Empress Dowager lost her composure and decorum, glimpsing through the wide-open doors of Chonghua Hall where two improperly dressed bodies lay.
"Xiao Yeyang, take me back now."
Taking advantage of the distraction of the crowd focused on Chonghua Hall, Manman urgently whispered to Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, and although the sky had darkened and the surrounding lamps were lit, the lighting was still dim enough that he couldn’t notice anything unusual about her.
Nevertheless, at Manman’s request, Xiao Yeyang immediately nodded, his gaze coldly sweeping over Chonghua Hall and the Jiang Family. He asked Defu to inform the Yan Family and then quietly helped Daohua leave.
It was only after Wei Qi and the Imperial Guards walked out of Chonghua Hall with their heads bowed that the Jiang Family came to their senses.
"Wanying!"
Madame Jiang the Second screamed in anguish and then stumbled into Chonghua Hall.
Her scream made even the Empress Dowager and Duke Cheng’en painfully close their eyes.
Idiot!
How could the Jiang Family marry such a fool?
The Imperial Guards hadn’t said anything, yet she, as a mother, went ahead and acknowledged in front of everyone that it was her daughter committing indecent acts in Chonghua Hall!
Following Madame Jiang the Second’s wail, the expressions on the faces of the officials and other women who had come along were spectacular.
It wasn’t long before everyone saw the Crown Prince of Xiliao step out of Chonghua Hall, and their expressions shifted once again.
In the crowd, the look on Prince Ping’s face was incredibly sour.
He was a man who enjoyed luxury, but that didn’t mean he was brainless. Today’s events were clearly aimed at Yan Missy.
Yan Missy was his future daughter-in-law. How could the Empress Dowager use such a despicable method against her?
Furthermore, she had used him to frame Yan Missy!
Did she realize that if today’s events succeeded, his relationship with his son, Yeyang, would come to an end?
Thinking of all the years he had spent currying favor with the Empress Dowager and her variable coldness and warmth towards him, Prince Ping’s heart truly felt chilled.
Thank Heaven, Yan Missy was unharmed!
Though he had watched Jiang Wanying grow up, at this moment, Prince Ping could not muster any pity for her.
This was the Jiang Family reaping what they had sown!
