Chapter 519 Joy of Life 75
Just as they were about to leave, Li Chengqian on the stage heard the commotion and became extremely annoyed.
After all, being disturbed repeatedly at such a crucial moment would infuriate anyone, let alone a prince.
Li Chengqian scrambled off Li Yunrui, strode to the fence, and pointed at the people below, angrily shouting, "You bastards! Didn't I tell you not to come into the backyard? You..."
His angry voice stopped abruptly when he saw the two people standing in front of the crowd, Lin Ruofu and Eunuch Hou.
In an instant, his face turned deathly pale, and terror surged into his heart like a tidal wave.
Li Chengqian stared wide-eyed at the crowd below in horror. His hands and feet were ice-cold, and his whole body was trembling. Two words echoed in his mind: "It's over!!"
Lin Ruofu and Eunuch Hou discovered my affair with my aunt at the same time, and they will definitely tell His Majesty.
What will His Majesty do then?
Would they directly depose him from his position as crown prince? Or would they kill him to save face for the royal family?
Li Chengqian's mind went blank with a "boom," and the immense fear left him momentarily at a loss for what to do.
He could only stand stiffly in front of the fence, awkwardly displaying this unbearable scene in front of everyone.
At the same time, Lin Ruofu and the others below were also stunned, unable to believe that they would see the Crown Prince here.
They could hardly believe that Li Chengqian, the crown prince, would commit such a shameless act of debauchery in broad daylight, especially in such an open and desolate place.
Lin Ruofu was the first to recover from his shock, his face instantly turning ashen.
It's bad enough that the Crown Prince is a womanizer and likes to frequent brothels, but now he dares to run amok at his aunt's imperial estate.
Li Yunrui, as his aunt, didn't care at all and allowed him to do this despicable thing under the guise of visiting Wan'er.
No wonder the Crown Prince hasn't been visiting brothels lately; he's found another 'good place'!
Thinking that Lin Wan'er was also in the manor at this moment, Lin Ruofu couldn't help but feel anxious.
My daughter is in the prime of her youth, pure and innocent. What if she were to witness such a sordid affair?
Or what if this matter gets out and damages Wan'er's reputation?
Thinking of this, Lin Ruofu's face darkened so much that it looked like it could be wrung out of water. He cursed inwardly: Shameless!
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he prepared to leave this filthy place.
Hou Gonggong and the others also came to their senses, secretly lamenting their bad luck.
They came to take Princess Chen home, but unexpectedly encountered this situation.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at the stage any longer, and hurriedly followed Lin Ruofu to leave.
But at that very moment, at this crucial instant, a soft, melodious, and extremely familiar voice suddenly rang out:
"what happened to you?"
These four simple words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone frozen in place, their steps hanging in mid-air, and even forgetting to breathe.
This voice belongs to... Princess Li Yunrui!!!
The scene was completely silent, as if even the air had frozen.
Everyone was taken aback by this sudden turn of events and their gazes involuntarily turned to the high platform.
So, the person who was just making love with the Crown Prince was—the Eldest Princess?!
How can this be?
How could those two do such a thing?
Even if Li Yunrui was slow to react, he realized the seriousness of the situation at this moment. He quickly grabbed the clothes draped over the soft couch and hurriedly put them on.
Through the gap in the railing, Li Yunrui caught a glimpse of the crowd below. Her expression instantly turned serious, and a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.
"Kill them!" Li Yunrui's icy voice suddenly rang out behind Li Chengqian, like a sharp blade in the cold wind, sending chills down one's spine.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian turned around abruptly and stared at her, his eyes filled with disbelief. Li Yunrui actually wanted to kill Lin Ruofu and Eunuch Hou.
It should be noted that these two men were no ordinary people; one was a powerful prime minister, and the other was the emperor's confidant. To eliminate them was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Not to mention that these two people are here by imperial decree. If they fail to return to the palace to report on time, Emperor Qing will immediately send someone here to investigate.
"Are you crazy?" Li Chengqian's voice trembled noticeably.
Li Yunrui's eyes flashed with madness, and his tone was icy cold: "Do you think we have any other choice now? If we let them leave, the news will spread throughout the entire capital in no time. If this reaches His Majesty's ears, we'll be finished."
Li Chengqian's face grew even paler, a trace of hesitation still lingering in his heart: "But...but..."
"But what 'but'!" Li Yunrui sneered, interrupting him: "At this point, only the dead can keep secrets from being revealed."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes darkened, and he glanced at the guards who had just returned.
The guard immediately understood, drew his long sword from his waist, and flew towards Lin Ruofu and the others.
Lin Ruofu and Eunuch Hou were both shocked and frightened. Under the protection of the palace guards, they rushed towards the gate of the imperial estate.
……
Chen Pingping, having estimated that it was about time, took his leave from Emperor Qing and then returned to the Censorate under the escort of Shadow: "How are things going with Ye Wan?"
A deep voice came from under the mask: "A fight just broke out at the gambling den in the west of the city. Two gamblers got into a fight, resulting in one death and the other fleeing in panic towards Li Yunrui's royal estate."
At this point, Shadow paused, looked down at Chen Pingping, and continued, "Before Lin Ruofu and the others met with misfortune, Ye Wanhui, who was arresting the suspect, arrived in time and rescued them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of mystery: "Make sure to clean up the mess thoroughly, and don't let anyone notice even the slightest trace of the Censorate."
"Don't worry," Shadow replied succinctly and forcefully, then turned and left.
Less than half an hour later, Shadow returned to the secret room, nodded to Chen Pingping who was eagerly waiting, indicating that the plan was successfully completed.
Chen Pingping then raised her hand to rub her temples, feeling a sense of relief.
Today's scheme to catch Lin Ruofu and Eunuch Hou in adultery may seem crude on the surface, but it is actually meticulously planned and ingenious.
Although he did not personally intervene, every step was the result of his meticulous planning.
Lin Wan'er had been recuperating at the Imperial Estate for a long time, and Lin Ruofu had never inquired about her. Why did he suddenly think of this daughter recently? And why did he insist on bringing her back to the Lin residence?
The Crown Prince only visits the Imperial Estate once every three days, so why is it that Lin Ruofu always manages to arrive at the Imperial Estate just as the Crown Prince is visiting?
