Chapter 516 - 342: Is It Su Fu?
What’s even more worth mentioning is that since all the men placed inside the mansion had somewhat feminine features, driven by the effects of the opium, they would often engage in such acts with each other. Some guards had no strong aversion to such homosexual relationships and would easily become involved with them.
Ran Yan analyzed in secret, Xiao Song had used the Imperial Censorate once again to stab at Princess Baling with another accusation. Last time, it was merely some rumors that were let out. Most princesses were quite virtuous, especially Princess Changle, Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Dongyang, and Princess Jinyang, who all had quite the bearing of Empress Zhangsun. Hearing of such disgraceful conduct, the Imperial Censorate naturally couldn’t restrain from mentioning it to the Emperor. And this time, it was clearly more serious, with evidence being presented.
This matter was definitely known to the guards of the Princess’ Courtyard. With Princess Baling being placed under house arrest, and the outcome hard to predict, the Courtyard must have been thrown into chaos. Moreover, with Xiao Song deliberately stirring the pot, finding a breakthrough would be quite easy.
"You all wait here first until we deal with the outside guards. You can follow us in afterwards," Bai Yi pointed to several people, including Ran Yan and Liu Qingsong.
Liu Qingsong had trained in martial arts, but his skills were even cruder than those of Duke Song, who at least had some brute strength. However, when he had first transmigrated, he was convinced that there existed wall-scaling and light-body techniques in this world. Out of considerations for being dashing, mysterious, escaping danger, and a composite of unseemly and impractical thoughts, he truly practiced diligently and thus could run faster than ordinary people.

Bai Yi felt somewhat reassured seeing their cooperation and led a dozen people into the woods.
