"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

At this time, the emperor was drinking leisurely and waiting for news from the second floor. Eunuch Wan, who had just been sent out to check the situation in the Sutra Library, ran in with a panicked look on his face.

"What's going on?" The emperor asked him lazily, looking at the wine in the glass.

Thinking of what he had just seen, Eunuch Wan did not dare to make it public. He whispered in the emperor's ear what he had seen.

After hearing what Eunuch Wan said, the smile on the emperor's face disappeared instantly. He slammed the table in anger and smashed the teacup in front of him to the ground. The whole hall seemed to be shaking because of this smash.

The emperor's face was so gloomy that it made people shudder, as if he was a powder keg ready to explode.

"Are you sure?" the emperor asked coldly.

"Yes, I went in to take a look." Eunuch Wan answered respectfully with his waist bowed.

No one in the hall knew what was going on and they were all silent.

"I'll go and take a look!" The emperor steadied himself and strode out of the banquet hall angrily with Eunuch Wan.

When the people in the hall saw the emperor go out, they began to talk.

Concubine Yi returned to the second floor.

At this time, the emperor and the prince were not on the third floor, and no one knew when King Jing went out.

The highest-ranking officials now are Su Heng and He Taifu.

Master He had drunk some wine and was feeling drowsy, so his two sons were taking care of him.

Su Heng winked at his son Su Xiuyuan, who immediately understood and left the hall.

Looking at the fine wine in front of him, Su Heng picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, feeling indescribably happy.

Eunuch Wan was holding a lantern in front, and the emperor followed him to the Sutra Repository.

Two eunuchs were guarding the door. When they saw the emperor and Eunuch Wan coming, they bowed respectfully.

The emperor said coldly: "Open the door!"

Two eunuchs immediately opened the locked door.

Inside the Sutra Repository, Xiao Changshi had already put on his clothes and was sitting on the ground, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he shuddered with fear.

Looking up, meeting the emperor's cold gaze and gloomy expression, Xiao Changshi's pupils dilated instantly and his face turned pale, as if he had seen something that frightened him.

He immediately knelt down, his body straightened, and tremblingly kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Highness...Your Highness pays respect to His Majesty, Father."

His head hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound.

Without the emperor's permission, he could only lie on the ground and kowtow.

The emperor looked at him gloomily, with deep anger in his eyes.

At this time, the woman's low sobbing sound came from the side.

The emperor swept his sharp eyes around the Sutra Library and saw Wang Jingshu, who was huddled in the arms of a maid and sobbing beside the bookshelf.

"Prince, what's going on?" the emperor asked in a cold voice, without a trace of warmth in his words.

Xiao Changshi remained kneeling and trembling as he answered, "Father, it was...she who asked me to meet her here..."

"You're talking nonsense. I never asked you out!" Wang Jingshu was furious when she heard what Xiao Changshi said. She didn't care about her image as a noble lady and roared in retort.

"Miss Wang clearly left a letter in my room yesterday, and asked me to meet her here today!" As she said this, she took out the letter from her bosom and presented it to the emperor.

"What letter? Why would I write to you? You are slandering me!" Wang Jingshu said as she stood up from the bookshelf tremblingly, held onto the bookshelf and walked towards them, wanting to grab the letter.

Eunuch Wan was quick to take the letter from Xiao Changshi and hand it to the emperor.

The emperor took the letter and opened it, and saw that it was indeed Wang Jingshu inviting Xiao Changshi to meet here.

He has been in the palace for more than forty years and has seen all kinds of tricks.

This girl from the Wang family probably wanted to marry into a rich family, so she resorted to this desperate measure.

Wang Jingshu grabbed nothing and held onto the bookshelf, staring at the emperor with empty eyes, tears still dripping.

The emperor snorted coldly, glanced at her with a look of contempt, and said sarcastically: "I never thought that the woman of the Wang family would be so unrestrained. It really makes me amazed!"

"Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"Your Majesty, I really didn't do that! It was the Crown Prince who defiled me!"

"His Majesty……"

"Paws!"

Before she could finish her words, the emperor gave a cold order to Eunuch Wan beside him.

Eunuch Wan received the order, walked up to Wang Jingshu, and slapped her in the face. Wang Jingshu fell heavily to the ground.

The maid knelt beside him and could only watch, not daring to come forward to help.

Blood flowed from the corner of Wang Jingshu's mouth. It took her a long time to recover. She got up from the ground and sat down, covering her face and not daring to speak again.

Seeing that Wang Jingshu stopped talking nonsense, the emperor ordered Eunuch Wan beside him, "Go, call Wang Qing."

Eunuch Wan responded and strode out.

The room was completely silent. No one dared to breathe, as if they could hear a pin drop.

The emperor looked down at Xiao Changshi and said sarcastically, "Prince, have you learned your lesson now?"

Xiao Changshi kowtowed again and pleaded respectfully, "Yes, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again! Please forgive me, father."

The emperor looked down at Xiao Changshi who was kneeling on the ground, and scolded him with a mocking tone: "I'm not telling you not to dare! A man who doesn't even dare to sleep with a woman is not worthy of being the crown prince of Daning."

"You can sleep with women, but you can't let them play with you. They are just tools to please you. Remember that!"

"Yes, I will keep my father's teachings in mind!" Xiao Changshi replied respectfully while lying on the ground.

The emperor looked at his respectful appearance and was very satisfied. He said calmly: "Get up!"

"Yes, thank you, father." Xiao Changshi bowed respectfully again and stood up from the ground.

Wang Qing followed Eunuch Wan to the Sutra Library. As soon as he entered the third floor door, he saw the emperor and the prince were there, and his daughter was sitting on the ground with her clothes in disarray.

His heart tightened and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.

When Wang Jingshu saw Wang Qing coming, she felt like she saw a savior. She cried and crawled over, hugged Wang Qing's legs, and cried, "Dad, please save your daughter!"

"Shu'er!"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Without bothering to salute, Wang Qing felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the chaotic situation in front of him.

The emperor snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt, "What's wrong? Your daughter seduced the prince and intended to frame him for rape! What is your intention, Wang family?"

The last sentence was not spoken loudly, but the tone was strong, with a questioning tone.

Without paying any attention to Wang Jingshu who was lying on the ground in a state of disgrace, Wang Qing knelt down with a plop and explained, "Your Majesty, you can see clearly! Wang Qing's loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to all, and I have no second thoughts, Your Majesty!"

"No second thoughts? Look at what this is!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he threw the letter in his hand to Wang Qing on the ground.

Wang Qing picked up the letter on the ground and saw that it was indeed Wang Jingshu's handwriting.

With trembling hands, he looked at the emperor and begged, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is because I failed to educate my daughter properly that she has become so shameless. I will take her back and discipline her properly!"

The emperor looked down at him with an ambiguous smile.

"How about this! Since she is already the prince's person, and the princess is now pregnant, let him enter the palace and be a concubine!"

"What does Wang Qing think?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't have any..."

"Snapped!"

A slap hit Wang Jingshu's face hard.

Wang Qing's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I will obey your command!"

After the emperor and his men left, Wang Qing gritted his teeth and scratched his hands, leaving several bloody marks.
