Chapter 51 - 50 Lu Ying Brother... It hurts...
Faced with Yin Shanshan’s scheming, Gao Zheng responded noncommittally, "Perhaps. But this is women’s business. What does it look like for a man like me to get involved? So if the Crown Princess Consort asks, just say you saw it with your own eyes."
Without hesitation, Yin Shanshan went to find Shen Yunxi.
Shen Yunxi was surrounded by Lu Qianqian and others, watching a litter of wolf pups that the guards had captured yesterday.
Yin Shanshan recounted the situation, fawningly, "I swear it’s absolutely true, Your Grace! I saw it with my own eyes! That wretched girl has a face full of seductive charm and a lithe, willowy figure. She must have seduced His Highness into the grove to... engage in shameful behavior while you were sleeping!"
Shen Yunxi’s face turned ashen.
She had thought that the Crown Prince had refrained from approaching other women these past few days, but to think he had been hiding it from her all along!
She cast a resentful glare at Yin Shanshan.
This wretched woman was truly insufferable. The matters of the storybook and the cherry feast were bad enough, but now she dared to publicly accuse the Crown Prince of favoring a palace maid in front of so many women!
Where would this leave the dignity of the Crown Princess Consort?!
Suppressing her fury and jealousy, Shen Yunxi struggled to maintain an air of composure, "His Highness has always been indifferent to women. You must have seen wrong."
"I saw it clear as day! How could I be mistaken?!" Yin Shanshan declared firmly, "Your Grace, you cannot allow such temptresses to corrupt His Highness and ruin the decorum of our hunting grounds! If you trust me, we can catch them in the act tonight!"
