The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 22 - Plotting (5) Ye Zhilan’s Humiliation

Ye Qichi arrived at Xiao Jinxing's courtyard at the third watch, accompanied by the young servant Wu.

Before coming, Ye Qichi had instructed Wu to knock out the servant who sneaked into his small courtyard at night and then carried him straight to Ye Zhilan's chamber. Ye Zhilan had inhaled a sleeping incense, having a period of drowsiness that lasted the length of one incense stick. Taking advantage of this, Wu delivered the servant into her chamber.

Luckily, Ye Zhilan was thinking of secretly visiting Xiao Jinxing's courtyard after the medicine took effect that night, so she had dismissed the maids in her courtyard, making Wu's entry much easier.

After the delivery, Wu waited the time of one incense stick. As Ye Zhilan awoke with her desires surging and her senses clouded, she became intimate with the servant lying beside her. Only after Wu was sure everything was settled did he leave.

Having reported back to Ye Qichi, he then followed Wu to Xiao Jinxing's bedroom, aiming to stage a drama for Zhou Ruotang and her daughter to see early in the morning.

Of course, after Ye Qichi's arrival, she didn't share a bed with Xiao Jinxing. She sat stiffly all night, and it was only when noise came from outside that she climbed into Xiao Jinxing's bed, which inevitably led to some rustling and, consequently, certain changes in someone's condition.

Xiao Jinxing, having been exposed by Ye Qichi, changed color dramatically and bellowed, "Ye Qichi, are you even a woman!"

What exactly was it that she couldn't bring herself to say?!

Ye Qichi was furious at Xiao Jinxing's ferocity.

Her voice was just as loud, facing Xiao Jinxing, "Whether I am a woman, shouldn't you be very clear about that?"

"..." Xiao Jinxing was so angry that he almost smoked from his head.

"It's normal for a man to have a physiological reaction upon waking up! There's nothing shameful about it." Ye Qichi was truly speechless.

At that moment, Xiao Jinxing really wanted to strangle this woman.

Ye Qichi ignored Xiao Jinxing's rage, dressing herself calmly, and casually said, "Shall we go and enjoy the drama together?"

Xiao Jinxing's face was dark, looking utterly unwelcoming to others.

Of course, Ye Qichi was not the kind of person who would warm up to a cold shoulder. After getting dressed, she left straight away, her exit dashing and impressive.

Watching the Princess's retreating figure, the house servant Wu was full of admiration.

How on earth had she suddenly become so... spirited and valiant!

"Right." Ye Qichi stopped in her tracks as she was leaving, turning back to Wu, "Thank you for last night."

Wu was taken aback with appreciation.

He would surely carry out the matters entrusted by his master.

If there were thanks to be given, they could only be owed to the Prince.

Ye Qichi left.

From behind the screen, Xiao Jinxing called out, "Wu!"

"Yes, my Prince."

"Change clothes."

"Yes."

Wu hurriedly went in.

He skillfully assisted the Prince with dressing, then stealthily glanced at the lower part of the Prince's body...

Xiao Jinxing's expression suddenly darkened.

Wu was so scared that his hands were trembling.

Having just overheard the conversation between the Prince and the Princess outside, he grew curious.

He had never seen the Prince like this before!

Wu couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, the current Princess was truly formidable!

...

Ye Qichi walked out of the courtyard, following the noise until she saw Ye Zhengde who was still searching the premises.

"Father." Ye Qichi approached hastily in just a few steps.

Zhou Ruotang stood by Ye Zhengde's side, her expression darkening noticeably when she saw Ye Qichi approach.

"Why are you out of bed?" Ye Zhengde asked anxiously.

"With sister in trouble, naturally, I couldn't continue sleeping," Ye Qichi seemed somewhat hurried as well.

"Just now father disturbed you and the Prince..."

"Father, the Prince understands, don't overthink it."

"How could you share a bed with the Prince?" Zhou Ruotang couldn't help but interrupt, her tone somewhat reprimanding, "It's too improper!"

Ye Zhengde was about to speak.

Ye Qichi explained, "Last night, the Prince needed someone to take care of him as he drank. He doesn't like others getting close, and after all, Xiaowu is a man and not attentive enough, so I went to take care of the Prince for the night. Father, rest assured, I did nothing inappropriate, it's just that it got too late taking care of the Prince, and I accidentally fell asleep by the bed."

"It's all right." Ye Zhengde was indeed magnanimous, "There is nothing inappropriate between husband and wife, those are just unwritten customs and habits."

"Only Father would be so forgiving." Ye Qichi smiled sweetly.

At that moment, the implicit meaning was Zhou Ruotang's pettiness.

Zhou Ruotang naturally understood and could only stew in silent frustration upon being ridiculed by An Ning.

"By the way, Father," Ye Qichi suddenly said, "After searching through so many places, have you checked my sister's boudoir?"

Ye Zhengde was taken aback.

It was this moment that he realized he had searched everywhere but had not been to Lan'er's court.

"If Lan'er were there, the maids wouldn't say they can't find anyone," Zhou Ruotang said with a hint of sarcasm.

"If you dare to barge into the Prince's court, isn't it because you don't want to overlook any corner of the house? Could it be that you think my sister ought to be on the Prince's bed?"

"Ye Qichi, you are spouting slander..." Zhou Ruotang was guilty and couldn't control her anger.

"Enough!" Ye Zhengde shouted at Zhou Ruotang, "Go check Lan'er's court!"

With that, he headed towards the court with the house servants in tow.

Ye Qichi glanced back at Zhou Ruotang with a provocative look, then quickly followed Ye Zhengde's steps.

Zhou Ruotang was seething with pent-up anger.

Ever since Ye Qichi returned, she had not had a moment of peace.

She gritted her teeth and quickly followed as well.

Ye Zhilan's courtyard was empty because everyone was out looking for her.

Ye Zhengde directly pushed open the door to the boudoir.

He led his people to the bed behind the screen, lifted the bed curtain, and in that moment, his face changed drastically with visible fury—so much so that he was unable to speak.

On the bed lay a man and a woman still entwined, both deep in slumber, and it wasn't hard to discern that beneath the covers both were without a stitch.

Zhou Ruotang also saw it.

She could hardly believe her own eyes.

How, how did Zhang San end up in Ye Zhilan's bed.

How could the two of them...

The scene in front of her was simply too shameful.

Zhou Ruotang couldn't help but scream!

She was completely unable to accept this reality.

Ye Zhilan, upon hearing the sound, groggily opened her eyes.

Zhang San was also awakened by the scream.

As the two of them saw clearly what was before them, Ye Zhilan's cries became even more hysterical.

How could this be?! She was clearly supposed to be in the bed of the Crown Prince; how could she have any relations with Zhang San, that dog of a servant, as disgusting as a piece of charcoal? Last night...

No!

Ye Zhilan frantically kicked Zhang San off the bed.

Zhang San was frightened as well; wasn't he supposed to be in the Princess's courtyard?

How come he was now in the bed of a concubine-born daughter?!

And him rolling on the floor, naked, only added to the chaos of the scene.

Zhou Ruotang, throwing aside all sense of decorum, rushed up and beat Zhang San with her fists and feet, "Who let you bully Lan'er, you cur, what right do you have to bully my daughter, I will kill you..."

Ye Zhengde looked furiously at the scene before him, rage swelling to the heavens.

At his age, he had never been so humiliated.

It was an immense disgrace to his life!
