After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

Just as he was about to call out to Shen Yan, he saw Shen Yan turn his head to the side.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Yan gave her a wink.

Shen Ning quickly stopped and stood still, understanding the unspoken message.

Watching Shen Yan walk further and further away with the maid in pink.

Shen Ning felt uneasy.

In his past life, this incident led to his elder brother's extremely tragic fate.

Even though she knew Shen Yan was playing along, she was still somewhat worried.

Shen Ning held her breath and carefully followed behind the two.

This place is very secluded, and the noble ladies are drinking tea and playing chess not far from here.

There was almost no one around this place.

It seems that it was cleaned up beforehand.

Shen Ning followed far behind Shen Yan and the maid in pink, keeping a considerable distance between them.

After navigating the winding, quiet corridor, the maid leading the way stopped in front of a side room.

"Young Master Shen, this is the changing room prepared for you."

The tea stains on Shen Yan's robes were still wet.

Although the clothes were dark, water stains could still be faintly seen on them.

His expression remained calm as he nodded and said, "Thank you for leading the way, young lady."

The maid in pink had a smiling face, but a sly glint was hidden in her eyes.

"You're too kind, young master."

Shen Yan said no more, his eyes sweeping over the closed door.

Then, feigning to walk forward, he slowly pushed open the door to the side room.

As soon as the maid saw him enter the room, she turned around and hurriedly left.

It's like going to deliver a message.

After the maid had walked away, Shen Yan immediately stopped.

He turned around and looked at Shen Ning, who was hiding in a secluded spot behind him.

"Ning'er".

Shen Ning quickly walked over.

"Big brother..."

Shen Yan grabbed her and asked in a low voice.

"You know what's inside, right?"

"I'm very curious about what those people are planning to do with me."

"Why don't you go in for your elder brother?"

Shen Ning had a smile on her face.

She can go in, but Shen Yan can't.

Besides, they also know who's inside.

"What about your clothes, brother?"

Shen Yan laughed and said, "At worst, we can skip lunch and the hunting trip in the dense forest. We can just go straight back to the manor."

Shen Ning sighed, "Didn't you want to know what those people were trying to do?"

"Go wait by the west window, Ning'er will go in for you."

Shen Yan nodded, his gaze involuntarily glancing into the room again.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Ning'er."

He turned and walked to the west side of the room, found a secluded spot, and looked inside.

Inside the room, on a bed made of golden nanmu wood, lay a naked young girl.

A pile of luxurious ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) lay beside the bed.

The girl had a beautiful face, but she was uttering incoherent babbling.

With just one glance, Shen Yan felt her cheeks burning.

He hurriedly avoided his gaze.

"This is not the behavior of a gentleman."

The person inside was none other than Princess Zhaoyuan.

Princess Zhaoyuan was His Majesty's seventh daughter, born to Consort De.

When Consort De gave birth to her, she had a difficult childbirth, and Princess Zhaoyuan almost died after being born.

Although he was saved, he was left with a chronic illness.

His mind was like that of a seven or eight-year-old child, foolish and simple-minded.

Apart from Consort De, no one in the palace truly cared for her.

Now that she has reached marriageable age, the sons of prominent families in Yanjing are avoiding this mentally challenged princess like the plague.

Everyone is afraid of having such a fool in their life.

Shen Yan's breathing suddenly tightened.

Today's events are clearly an attempt to force him to marry Princess Zhaoyuan.

Moreover, the person behind it all wants to ruin his reputation.

If it weren't for Ning'er and Xie Linyuan's reminder today, he would probably have fallen into an abyss.

On the other side, Shen Ning gently pushed open the door and entered the private room.

An unusual sweet fragrance wafted towards her, causing her to frown involuntarily.

She looked inside and, sure enough, lay a fair-skinned, voluptuous, and delirious young girl within the bed curtains.

This is none other than the mentally challenged sister-in-law whom Shen Yan married in his previous life.

In his past life, his elder brother was brought here by a maid to change his clothes, where he was spotted by Madam Yu and Consort Gao, who arrived shortly afterward.

This confirmed her guilt in defiling the princess.

His Majesty was furious and had his elder brother flogged fifty times and dismissed from his position as Attendant of the Court of Judicial Review.

They then forced Princess Zhaoyuan into marriage.

The elder brother's reputation plummeted from that point on, and he became a despicable villain whom everyone in Yanjing City hated and scorned.

Thinking of this, Shen Ning felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She looked around and saw an incense burner burning in front of the peony-carved screen.

Without thinking, Shen Ning quickly stepped forward and extinguished the incense.

He hurriedly went to the window and opened several windows.

The girl on the tatami unconsciously turned over, muttering something unintelligible.

Shen Ning approached and gently patted her shoulder.

"Princess? Princess, wake up."

Princess Zhaoyuan.

Seeing that Princess Zhaoyuan had no reaction, Shen Ning quickly picked up the clothes that had fallen in front of the bed and prepared to dress her.

Shen Ning paused abruptly when her fingertips touched Princess Zhaoyuan's warm skin.

I just felt a chill down my spine.

It seems that Princess Zhaoyuan has been...

The princess is still unmarried. Although she is mentally challenged, she is, after all, of the bloodline of the Great Yan royal family.

Who on earth is so audacious as to defile the princess here?

Before Shen Ning could think it over, she quickened her pace and efficiently dressed the princess.

He tucked her in again before quickly leaving the room.

Just then, Shen Yan also came around from the west.

Shen Ning's voice trembled, "Big brother, let's go!"

"Hurry up!"

Shen Yan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly grabbed his sister, leading her along the corridor.

Just as I passed through the corridor, I heard footsteps coming from not far away.

The brother and sister quickly hid inside the artificial hill.

Those people did indeed arrive.

Who was it that dared to defile Princess Zhaoyuan and frame her own brother?

In his previous life, Shen Yan was caught in the act by Consort Gao, Consort De, and others and forced into the side room.

Consort De then had the nanny examine Princess Zhaoyuan, and it turned out that Princess Zhaoyuan was indeed not a virgin.

She even became pregnant later.

At that time, no matter how much the older brother explained, no one believed him.

Even her father, who rushed back from the border, was convinced that her elder brother had defiled the princess when he saw that she was pregnant.

The eldest brother's life was thus completely ruined.

Shen Ning peeked out and saw a group of people heading into the room they had just left.

Among these people were Consort De, the Empress, Lady Yu, and several other prominent noble ladies from Yanjing.

Shen Yan's face was deathly pale, his body pressed tightly against the artificial hill, and he clutched his chest.

"That was close..."

Shen Ning also clutched her chest, panting heavily.

"Ning'er," Shen Yan asked in a low voice after catching his breath.

"Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Shen Ning held her breath and said, word by word, "Someone has already defiled the princess."

"Brother, a maid led you here today. If the princess is diagnosed with pregnancy in the future, you will probably be implicated."

"Brother, have you figured out how to deal with this?"

Shen Yan's face was sullen.

"What does this have to do with me? I didn't do it!"

"Don't worry, your older brother will figure something out."

"Okay," Shen Ning said.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer; let's hurry up and leave."
