Shen Yunya wanted to calm down, but she realized it was impossible for her to do so. She had been on cloud nine just a second ago. However, she fell directly into a deep chasm in the next moment. It was deep enough to shatter her bones.
She couldn’t figure out what went wrong. She was an alchemist. However, she couldn’t use her own medicine on herself even if she wanted to. Besides, Brother Jin was always behaving very normally. No matter whether it was earlier or just then when he was having sex with her, he was completely normal.
Besides, it was Brother Jin who carried her in forcefully and did such things to her. Why had the Empress Dowager brought everyone over just to catch them red-handed?
Shen Yunya’s mind was in a confused state. She didn’t know what to do at all, not to mention how to calm down. This was her first time experiencing such a chaotic scenario.
When Yuan Fangfei saw Shen Yunya hugging her torn clothes tightly as she rolled into a ball and squatted in the corner in disbelief, her heart ached. She then regained her senses and rushed forward. “Quickly put on your clothes. This is not your fault. Someone must have schemed against you.”
“Mother,” Shen Yunya shouted while crying. She didn’t know how things had turned out like this.
“Quickly put on your clothes. Otherwise, you will be more embarrassed later. I have an idea,” Yuan Fangfei said in a deep voice. At this point, it didn’t matter how serious this incident was or if it happened because there was a flaw in her plan. All she knew was that Shen Yunya must have been set up by someone on purpose.
The person who was most likely to have done this was Feng Tianlan. As long as she stirred up her feud with the royal family, the Shen Family, and the Luo Family, what happened today would be considered a grievance.
Shen Yunya nodded while crying. She was shivering as she put on her clothes. Previously, she had felt blissful when she saw the scars on her body. However, she felt extremely embarrassed right now. Even though these scars were given to her by Brother Jin, she still felt extremely embarrassed.
They were supposed to settle this in the partial palace. However, since Xi Jin and Luo Shiyun were still unconscious, all of them sat down in the room.
The Emperor arrived in just a short while. Even though the windows were open, the room was still filled with ‘that’ smell. This smell caused the Emperor’s face to turn sullen. An invisible royal might was released from his body, causing everyone to lower their head and shut their mouths in fear.
He sat at the top as he looked down at Yuan Fangfei and Shen Yunya, who were both kneeling on the ground. He then spoke in a cold voice, saying, “What exactly is going on here? What happened to the Crown Prince and his second consort?”
“Your Majesty, please conduct a thorough investigation. The Crown Prince and Ya’er have definitely been framed. Please do our Ya’er justice, Your Majesty.” Yuan Fangfei bowed to him and cried as if she was the victim.
The Emperor gave Yuan Fangfei a cold glance. He then questioned Shen Yunya, who was still shivering. “Yunya, what exactly happened?” he asked.
His impression of Shen Yunya wasn’t that bad. She was even a candidate to be his daughter-in-law at one point. However, the incident today made him change his opinion of her.
“I…” Just as Shen Yunya was about to tell him what had happened, Yuan Fangfei pinched her on the waist. She then shut her eyes and said in a choking voice, “I don’t know either. Everything was already like this when I woke up. Your Majesty, please do me justice.”
She had to calm down. She must not admit to what she did. She was partly responsible for what happened. Besides, her mother was hinting for her to pretend not to know anything and play the victim.
That’s right. She needed to reveal the scheme against Feng Tianlan that her mother had told her about previously to clear her name. When Brother Jin came around, he would definitely stand on her side.
After all, Brother Jin was the one who forced himself on her. Besides, Brother Jin had previously said that he wanted her to be his Crown Princess Consort. Brother Jin would definitely feel guilty and compensate her after what happened today.
