I only wished to take up my fiefdom, but my elder brother forced me to rebel.

"Sister-in-law, I am the ninth prince, please don't... this is inappropriate..."

"Holy crap!"

……

Lu Yuan stared at the canopy above his head, his mind racing.

He is a time traveler.

Ten years have passed since then.

Lu Yuan was quite satisfied with his status as the Ninth Prince.

What's so good about being an emperor?

He gets up earlier than the rooster and goes to bed later than the dog, and he still has to guard against his own son rebelling.

How comfortable it is to be a carefree prince! Once you're enfeoffed, the emperor is far away, you can keep a few beautiful concubines, play with birds and walk dogs—that's what life is all about.

Therefore, after he transmigrated, he had no intention of getting involved in the struggle for the throne.

They only wanted to establish a fiefdom as soon as possible so they could do whatever they wanted.

If the new emperor is sensible, he can leave them to their own devices.

If the new emperor is ignorant, then raise an army to purge the court of corrupt officials and teach him a lesson.

However, according to the decree of Emperor Dayong, princes must first get married before they can be enfeoffed.

Therefore, the Second Prince Lu Cheng had his fiancée, Su Yuling, the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquis's family, bring a woman over for him to choose from.

As they continued to gaze at each other, Su Yuling, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, seemed to be in heat and pulled him into the house, tying him to the bed.

They tore his clothes and gnawed at his mouth.

return……

"Emperor's sister-in-law..."

Lu Yuan's throat was dry. "Let go first, let's talk this out..."

But Su Yuling seemed not to hear at all, her face covered in tears as she buried her head and bit Lu Yuan's shoulder.

pain.

It really bites.

……

After the incident, the room was quiet for a while.

Lu Yuan stared expressionlessly at the top of the tent. His inner robe was torn to shreds, the quilt was crumpled, and there was an indescribable smell in the air.

His hands had been loosened, but he felt as if his body had been hollowed out.

Having lived two lives, he imagined his first time would be with several beautiful women.

But he never dreamed that he would be forced by a woman.

That woman is my second brother's fiancée!

At this moment, Su Yuling shrank into the corner of the quilt, her back to him, her shoulders trembling, her sobs low but clearly audible in the room.

Lu Yuan's lips twitched.

Why are you crying?

Su Yuling's shoulders twitched, but she didn't say anything.

"No...it's not like I forced you!" Lu Yuan tilted his head to look at her back. "You're acting all wronged."

"asshole!"

Su Yuling suddenly rolled over, her eyes red and swollen, glaring at him through gritted teeth, "How dare you say that!"

"What's wrong with me?" Lu Yuan asked innocently.

"You...you drugged me!"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed in exasperation.

"Sister, we drank the tea together, from the same pot and the same teacup. If I wanted to drug someone, why didn't I go into heat?"

Su Yuling opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

It seems we all drank from the same pot of tea.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, seemed perfectly normal. So why had he become like that?

She bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, and finally buried her face in the blanket, sobbing silently.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yuan felt a surge of anger rising within him, but he suppressed it again.

"Alright, stop crying. Will crying solve anything?"

Su Yuling's crying subsided a little, but she still refused to look up.

Lu Yuan's tone turned serious: "We've been set up."

There was no sound from under the covers.

After a couple of breaths, Su Yuling peeked out, her eyes red and swollen, staring at him: "What did you say?"

"I said we've been set up!"

Lu Yuan said seriously, "Think about it, whose idea was it for you to come and find me a woman today?"

Su Yuling was stunned for a moment: "It was... the Second Prince who mentioned it to me. He said that his Ninth Brother is not young anymore and should be looking for a marriage partner. He asked me to give my opinion."

"and then?"

"And then I came..."

Su Yuling's voice grew softer and softer, and an expression of disbelief slowly appeared on her face.

"You brought someone over to look at the woman, but she left suddenly after only a few words, and then the drug took effect."

Lu Yuan said in a serious tone, "Think about that woman's identity, and then think about who has the best chance of putting the drug in your teacup."

Su Yuling's expression changed.

The woman was the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who was a member of the Second Prince Lu Cheng's faction.

The woman was sitting right next to her, so it was perfectly normal for her to secretly drug her when she wasn't looking.

"Lu Cheng..."

After figuring out the internal and external joints, Su Yuling's face turned warm and flushed.

"My second brother suggested to Father that I choose a woman for him. This is an open scheme, made public, so that we have a legitimate reason to act."

Lu Yuan said, word by word, "Preparing tea with hidden drugs is a dirty trick, designed to prevent future investigations. He drugged you, and you fell for it."

"If this gets out, who do you think will look the worst?"

Su Yuling's face turned pale, and her fingers tightened around the corner of the blanket.

She was the second prince's betrothed wife, and she was alone in a room with the ninth prince, both of them disheveled.

Just this image alone, without any factual basis, is enough to ruin one's reputation.

But there is still something real.

"Lu Cheng..."

Su Yuling squeezed out those two words through gritted teeth, her lips trembling violently.

"How could he... What did he take me for? A pawn?"

"You didn't just find out now who your fiancé really is, did you?"

Lu Yuan calmly said, "The second brother is really good at pretending. Maybe he's already hooked up with the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."

"My purpose is to use this as an excuse to break off the engagement with you."

Lu Yuan's words were extremely persuasive.

He slept with the emperor's sister-in-law, and whether or not he was framed, he will inevitably be held accountable.

We must bring Su Yuling into the alliance right now.

Su Yuling clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, a surge of hatred rising within her.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquis's family, but in her fiancé's eyes, she was nothing more than an object that could be given away at any time.

"I was so blind..." Su Yuling's voice trembled.

Lu Yuan turned his gaze back to the top of the tent and sighed, "I just want to be a carefree prince, why is it so difficult?"

Su Yuling didn't reply, but clenched her fists.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open.

"Holy crap, who is it?"

Lu Yuan shuddered instinctively and looked towards the door.

Lu Cheng stepped across the threshold with a stern face, followed by four guards, all dressed in black armor.

He stood at the doorway, his gaze sweeping across the room.

The bed curtains were half-rolled up, the two people were disheveled, and there was clearly more than one person under the covers.

Lu Cheng's face was so dark it could drip water, but a fleeting, almost imperceptible smugness flashed across his eyes.

"Lu Yuan!" Lu Cheng shouted angrily, "Your sister-in-law has worked so hard for your marriage, yet you dare to commit such a heinous act! You are worse than an animal!"

The guards all drew their swords in unison.

Su Yuling stared at Lu Cheng with bloodshot eyes.

Lu Cheng thought she was angry because she had been forced by Lu Yuan.

"Miss Su, I will definitely report this matter to my father and seek justice for you."

"you……"

Just as Su Yuling was about to get up, Lu Yuan reached out and stopped her.

"I didn't hear you..." Lu Yuan said coldly, "Come closer and speak."

A hint of suspicion flashed in Lu Cheng's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

He stepped to the bedside, looking down at Lu Yuan, just as he was about to speak again.

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and a strong killing intent instantly burst forth from them.

"Fuck your justice!"

Lu Yuan suddenly shouted and then swung his right hand sharply.

It aimed straight at Lu Cheng's left cheek!

Lu Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before he could retreat, Lu Yuan sprang up from the bed, twisted his waist, and slammed his right fist squarely into Lu Cheng's cheekbone.

The next second, Lu Cheng flew sideways, his back crashing into the coffee table against the wall, shattering teacups all over the floor.
