Everyone seemed to realize that the person on the bed was Wei Mingzhao, who had been missing all along.
Wei Nanxun was the first to react. Actually, she had a guess on the way, but there was no way to confirm it until she returned to Jingren Palace and found that everything was normal and no one had discovered she was missing.
Then it was very likely that someone had taken her place.
Thinking of this, she didn’t dare to stop for even half a step, just so she could appear here in time and see Pei Yuyan’s empty-handed appearance after all his scheming.
He definitely didn’t expect that a small woman who he could easily manipulate and play with would also make him embarrass himself in public!
Seeing that the other two were still stunned, she had already put on a look of confusion and helplessness: “Sister, where did my sister go?”
No one answered her, but she didn’t care. She first looked at the naked figure, then at him, and said in an exaggerated voice, trembling, “Your Highness, you, you and sister… How could this happen…”
Responding to her was Pei Yuyan’s uncontrollable anger ringing above her head: “Wei Nanxun, where did you go?”
He was only wearing an outer robe at the moment and didn’t have time to fasten it, revealing his strong, fair chest.
It must be said that Pei Yuyan had a very good appearance, and he had been pampered since he was a child. His skin was as delicate and white as his face, making many women feel ashamed.
In the beginning, she was deceived, and she was inevitably bewitched by his appearance.
She was too familiar with his appearance of not wearing his clothes properly.
Wei Nanxun only glanced at it and quickly looked away. Other little girls might be shy and embarrassed, but she had been tired of seeing it in her previous life, especially since he had just been intimate with Wei Mingzhao, which made her feel disgusted and nauseous.
Thinking of herself in her previous life, she was really extremely stupid!
But her expression fell into Pei Yuyan’s eyes and became shyness and anger. He tightened his grip on her wrist by three points.
“Look at me.”
Wei Nanxun’s inner eyes were about to roll to the sky. Look, look, look at your big head.
But she was still in the palace at the moment, and he could use such dirty tricks as drugging, who knew what other tricks he had. She had to deal with him and leave the palace first.
Thinking like this, she slightly lowered her eyelashes and pretended to be both shy and frightened: “Your Highness, you, you are hurting this subject.”
Pei Yuyan turned a deaf ear to her words and only repeated coldly, “Look at me.”
Wei Nanxun also looked at Consort Xian for help, but the latter was also caught off guard by this change and was giving Yuchun a wink, wanting to know what was going on, so naturally she had no time to take care of others.
She had no choice but to take a deep breath and tremblingly raise her eyes to look at him. She was already injured, and after experiencing this life-and-death moment just now, and being held so hard by him, she was naturally very weak. She didn’t need to pretend much, and her face was pale and bloodless.
Her thick, curly eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes were at a loss, and her tone was even more panicked: “Your, Your Highness… It hurts, did this subject do something wrong?”
Pei Yuyan was already in a very bad mood. Everything was different from what he had expected. He thought the person lying here was Wei Nanxun, but when he opened his eyes, she had become Wei Mingzhao.
Before this, he couldn’t say that he really liked Wei Nanxun that much. Even if she was beautiful, women were no different in his eyes.
He went to the door to break off the engagement just to eliminate his father’s suspicion. People are afraid of death, especially those who stand at the highest point, and they are even more reluctant to die. Moreover, the throne came strangely that year, and his father was more suspicious than other emperors. He not only guarded against his uncles and brothers, but even his own son.
As he gradually grew up and began to learn how to handle government affairs, his father’s attitude towards him changed a lot.
His father’s eyes began to be a little unclear the year before last, and after a minister suggested that he handle the government affairs on his behalf, his father’s suspicion reached its peak.
This marriage was ordered by his father, but now he felt that he had colluded with Duke Wei early, formed a party for private gain, and intended to be disloyal.
Pei Yuyan knew that he had to do something to dispel his father’s doubts, but he was reluctant to ruin the good reputation he had accumulated for so many years. After thinking about it, he decided to add a reputation of being lustful and willing to break off the engagement for the sake of beauty.
It just so happened that Wei Nanxun became the target.
Everything was developing in the direction he expected, but he didn’t expect Wei Nanxun to refuse?
He was made the crown prince in his swaddling clothes, and no one had ever refused him since he was a child. At first, he thought it was just playing hard to get, a woman’s little trick.
It wasn’t until he went to see her privately and didn’t even see her face, and was turned away, that he knew she really didn’t want to marry him.
He could accept changes in the plan, but he couldn’t accept that there were things he couldn’t get.
Today, he only planned to use his aunt’s hand to meet her, but he didn’t expect his aunt to take the opportunity to make trouble, wanting to kill two birds with one stone, and he didn’t expect that there would be changes.
This change was Wei Nanxun.
Who was she sent by, and what was she plotting?
Pei Yuyan’s eyes were gloomy, and his voice was more like squeezed out from between his teeth: “I ask you, why are you not in the room?”
If she wasn’t there, even if the means were clumsy, it would be considered adultery. At that time, he would say that she seduced him, and he couldn’t hold back for a while. At most, he would have a reputation for being amorous and romantic.
Now, the concubine’s daughter had become the legitimate daughter, and he couldn’t restrain himself from sleeping with his fiancée before the wedding date. That wouldn’t just be a matter of being romantic, but also of being lustful, and he would even be suspected by his father that he and Wei Mingzhao had been secretly communicating for a long time.
Wei Nanxun had never seen Pei Yuyan so sinister before. He was best at hiding his emotions, and he only revealed a little occasionally in bed, but he was also very restrained.
Seeing him so angry gave her a sense of revenge.
But she was happy, but she didn’t dare to show it on her face at all.
She pretended to be frightened and swallowed her saliva: “Reply, reply to Your Highness, this subject rested for a while and woke up, and my mouth was dry. But there was no tea in the room and I didn’t see anyone serving, so I had to go out to find it. It’s the first time I’ve entered the palace, so I really can’t tell the direction, and I didn’t see anyone to ask, and I was very dizzy, so I accidentally lost my way…”
Her statement was already thought out on the way, and she had also confirmed it with Lingxi.
But obviously Pei Yuyan didn’t believe what she said. How could a woman who had taken aphrodisiacs run out inexplicably? Even if she was thirsty, she couldn’t support herself to walk too far.
Moreover, the medicine was so strong that even his willpower was not enough to resist it. He had confusedly taken Wei Mingzhao, how could a little girl who had never experienced love endure it.
Could it be that someone helped her detoxify? Who was the person behind her?
Thinking of this possibility, Pei Yuyan didn’t even care about being suspected by the emperor. He only felt his blood surging. He didn’t care whether he was being calculated or angry, or thought that someone had taken the lead, and he had the urge to tear the person in front of him apart at all costs.
How dare she, how dare she refuse him, and help others deal with him.
Pei Yuyan’s eyes were frighteningly dark, and the bones in her hand were almost broken. He said sternly, word by word, “Tell the truth.”
Wei Nanxun really felt pain this time and was also frightened by his murderous aura. She had no doubt that he wanted her life.
“Your Highness, everything this subject has said is true.”
The strength in his hand didn’t decrease at all. Just as she was thinking about how to get out of the predicament, a calm voice came from beside her: “This servant can prove that what Miss Wei said is true.”
As soon as this voice came out, it was like a stone stirring up layers of ripples.
Pei Yuyan was really overwhelmed by anger, otherwise he wouldn’t have noticed that there was another person in the room.
He frowned and looked coldly at Lingxi. Looking at her dress, she was a palace maid, and she looked a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen her for a while. He stared at the palace maid with a gloomy face, and his hand didn’t loosen.
“Who are you?”
“This servant is Lingxi, I have seen Your Highness. You have forgotten, this servant served you when you were young.”
Pei Yuyan didn’t speak, but Consort Xian on the side suddenly opened her mouth and said, “This palace recognizes you. Are you serving by the side of the eldest princess?”
Lingxi smiled and bowed to the two of them: “Consort Xian has a good memory. This servant is indeed the personal palace maid of Princess Anyang.”
Not to mention Pei Yuyan, even Wei Nanxun’s eyes widened slightly. Princess Anyang? So the person who saved her was…
