When Jun Qiyuan learned that the Xuan King had been seriously injured and fallen off a cliff, his first reaction was not to be happy, but to beat his chest and stamp his feet in despair.

If only this news had come two days earlier!

Then he wouldn't have tampered with things at the tea party at Qingyan Water Pavilion.

His original intention was to win over Shen Fu, possess her body, and make her his woman.

But unexpectedly, things went awry, and the person he had a one-night stand with turned out to be Jiang Ruoyao!

Thinking about what happened that day, he was filled with remorse.

Being caught in the act of adultery was bad enough, but the people present that day were all refined and cultured scholars from the capital.

These people value rules and etiquette above all else. They never expected that such a sordid thing would happen in such an elegant and refined setting. It was simply immoral!

These people didn't care whether they were princes or princesses, or daughters of noble families. They immediately wrote a proclamation, denouncing the two for their illicit affair, exposing their scandal to the public, and accusing them of violating etiquette and disgracing elegance.

Now, Jun Qiyuan and Jiang Ruoyao have become a laughing stock in the capital, and are the object of everyone's condemnation and scorn.

He hasn't left the house for several days since that incident.

Even with the door tightly shut, he could almost hear the mocking laughter from outside.

Whenever he thinks about this, he feels completely baffled and doesn't know where things went wrong.

Could it be that Shen Fu has already seen through his scheme and is therefore deliberately setting him up to embarrass himself?

He remembered!

At that time, Shen Fu said she felt unwell because of the strong wind and asked him to close the window.

As she turned around, she had already picked up the teacup.

Is it possible that she deliberately switched the two cups of tea at that time?

But she doesn't have mind-reading abilities, nor does she have the ability to predict the future, so how can she take precautions in advance?

Then, considering that the Second Prince's entanglement with Jiang Ruoyao had long been unbearable, was it possible to take advantage of this opportunity...?

The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became, but then an imperial decree came ordering him to enter the palace.

It turned out that it was Prime Minister Jiang Yue who had reported him to the Emperor.

A few days ago, Prime Minister Jiang went to the south to inspect the construction of dikes.

When she returned home and learned that her beloved daughter had been defiled and had become the object of ridicule and scorn, she felt as if the sky had fallen.

Jiang Ruoyao made a scene in the mansion, crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself. One moment she said she didn't want to live anymore, and the next she said she would die if she didn't marry the second prince!

The Prime Minister's residence is in complete chaos, and they are just waiting for him to return and take charge.

Everyone in the capital knew that their daughter was in love with the Second Prince and pursued him passionately, disregarding the proper modesty of a young lady.

Even though her request for a marriage decree from the emperor was rejected, she did not give up and would immediately attend any occasions where the second prince was present.

At the tea party that day, she was still trying her best to win the Second Prince's attention. How could she possibly have an affair with the Fourth Prince in the blink of an eye?

He was convinced that everything was done by Jun Qiyuan!

Not only did he ruin Ruoyao's reputation, but he also refused to take responsibility, making her a laughingstock in the capital.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

If he cannot get justice for his daughter, wouldn't his position as prime minister become a laughing stock, and how could he face the court in the future?

So he wrote a memorial and presented it to the emperor, asking him to uphold justice.

Recently, the Xuan King has gone missing, and the border is unstable.

Emperor Yong was already overwhelmed with problems, and this incident only made him furious.

How much trouble has this fourth prince gotten into lately?

On his wedding day, he was mistakenly married off in the bridal sedan chair, and he even tried to kill himself for another woman, which completely disgraced the royal family.

Later, he set fire to the national temple, committing a heinous crime, but the emperor did not pursue the matter out of consideration for their father-son relationship.

Later, at the Chongyang Palace, a giant bear attacked people, causing countless deaths and injuries, and he was also involved in the incident.

If it weren't for the appearance of that black-clad assassin later on, Jun Qiyuan would certainly not have been able to clear his name so easily.

As a result, he is now having an affair with the Prime Minister's daughter in broad daylight!

This not only humiliated the royal family, but also aroused Emperor Yong's suspicion.

First there was Shen Fu, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, and now there's the daughter of the Prime Minister. Why does he always provoke women with influential family backgrounds in the court?

If it's a coincidence once, then it's too much of a coincidence to happen twice, isn't it?

Since someone has filed a lawsuit before the emperor, an explanation must be given.

As soon as Jun Qiyuan entered the room, a teacup was smashed down, hitting him squarely on the forehead, and blood immediately flowed out.

"You wretched creature, what terrible things have you done!"

Jun Qiyuan immediately knelt down, taking the initiative.

"Someone has framed me, Your Majesty! Please investigate thoroughly!"

Emperor Yong was so angry he almost laughed.

"You had an affair with the Prime Minister's daughter at the Qingyan Tea Party; this is common knowledge. How dare you claim you're innocent?"

"Your Majesty, you only have Shen Fu in your heart. You would even give your life for her. How could you possibly touch another woman? Someone must be deliberately using this tea party as an opportunity to frame me!"

"this……"

Emperor Yong was taken aback.

He had indeed seen his feelings for Shen Fu.

He once kowtowed until his head bled in the Golden Palace for her sake, and did all sorts of foolish things; these things couldn't be faked.

"Then what about you and Jiang Ruoyao...?"

Jun Qiyuan knew that with the matter having escalated to such a great extent, it was impossible to completely distance himself from it.

In that case, it would be better to retreat in order to advance.

"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you. I did indeed have wicked thoughts that day, but my target was not Jiang Ruoyao, but Shen Fu!"

Immediately afterwards, he revealed that he had invited Shen Fu to Xiaozhu for a heart-to-heart talk and drugged her tea.

Emperor Yong was momentarily at a loss for whether to be shocked or furious.

"She's already the Princess Consort of Xuan, and you still haven't given up? You're even capable of doing something like this?"

"Regardless of her status, she is the woman I love. I cannot bear to see her marry someone else, so..."

"you……"

Emperor Yong pointed at him with trembling fingers, so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Jun Qiyuan quickly pressed his advantage: "Father, don't you find it strange? I was clearly targeting Shen Fu, so why has it turned into Jiang Ruoyao?"

Emperor Yong sneered, "You're not going to say that she seduced you, are you?"

"Everyone knows that she is in love with the Second Prince, and although she has been rejected several times, she still refuses to give up. What if someone tries to sabotage the tea party to get rid of a thorn in their side, and happens to make me take the blame?"

Emperor Yong's heart sank heavily.

The Qingyan Tea Party was hosted by the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and in recent years, Grand Tutor Ning has handed over the affairs of the tea party to the Second Prince.

The Second Prince has always avoided Jiang Ruoyao like the plague, could it be...?

The thought had barely crossed my mind when a notification came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince requests an audience!"

Jun Jingyan entered the palace at this moment precisely to request his father, the emperor, to personally go to the northwest to rescue the Xuan King.

As soon as I entered the main hall, before I could even speak, I saw the other party's furious face.

Emperor Yong roared, "Kneel down!"
