Chapter 999 Trampled Underfoot
A brief silence fell over the room.
Even the well-informed Empress was stunned by the situation before her, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether Bu Qingyao or Wu Yue'er was telling the truth.
Anyway, there's no doubt that the three of them slept together.
The only thing to investigate now is whether Liang Wang was with Bu Qingyao first, or with Wu Yue'er first.
As for the question of who goes first and who goes last, they don't care at all.
Of all the people, only King Liang cared the most.
He would never admit to mutual affection with Wu Yue'er, but hearing Bu Qingyao's words now seemed to favor him, so he quickly said:
"Your Majesty, Wu Yue'er is talking nonsense. There is no mutual affection between us at all."
"She drugged me back then, which is why I fell for her trick. She drugged me again today!" King Liang said anxiously.
When Wu Yue'er saw that the Prince of Liang actually denied his relationship with her, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. She was carrying his child, and he was actually speaking up for Bu Qingyao instead of her!
How could you do this to me?
Wu Yue'er looked incredulous, as if she couldn't believe that the Prince of Liang would treat her like this. Her betrayed expression made everyone's expressions even more bizarre.
Her expression didn't seem fake at all; it truly looked like she'd encountered a heartless man.
King Liang was so angry at Wu Yue'er's reaction that he jumped up and down. He really didn't know what bad luck he had to run into Wu Yue'er, his nemesis.
The two of them originally had absolutely no connection, but this woman insisted on acting as if they had a very deep relationship, which gave him the creeps.
"There's absolutely nothing between us, so don't drag me into everything!"
"I'm not blind. Anyone with eyes can tell who to choose when you two stand together!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Wu Yue'er's pale, ghost-like face.
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; what King Liang said is not wrong.
Looking at such a face, unless you're blind, you really can't bring yourself to eat it.
"King Liang, you are not human! I am carrying your child, how can you treat me like this?"
Wu Yue'er was furious. "You clearly promised me that you would let me be your queen and have our child. Now you're going back on your word. You're a real scoundrel!"
Wu Yue'er's eyes were red. As a princess, she had never lost to any woman since childhood.
After arriving in the Chu You Dynasty, her life became increasingly unsatisfactory, completely different from the glamorous life she had imagined.
Now that she is pregnant, she thought that the Prince of Liang would definitely treat her well. She never expected that this man would bully her for another woman. How could she tolerate this?
When Bu Qingyao learned that Wu Yue'er was pregnant with the Prince of Liang's child, her eyes widened in surprise.
She heard something!
The news that Princess Kang is pregnant with Prince Liang's child is sure to terrify people.
However, she dared not utter a word about it at this moment; the more she knew about this secret, the faster she would die.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I was just resting here when I was ambushed by those two!"
I'm the most innocent one!
The more King Liang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he was filled with regret.
If he had known this would be the outcome, he would never have come no matter what. Now, this feeling of being unable to defend himself is driving him crazy!
Unfortunately, none of these people actually wished him well; everyone was waiting to see him fail and hoping he would fall into an abyss of despair.
In the past, he had boasted that he was in complete control and had everything under his command, but he never imagined that all of this would turn out to be nothing but a joke.
"So, according to you, those two women took turns drugging you just to spend the night with you?"
Prince Kang sneered, "Is your lower half perhaps edged with gold? So precious that girls would pay anything to be with you?"
"Pfft."
Gu Huan'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, but then realized the occasion was inappropriate and quickly shut her mouth.
What King Kang said wasn't entirely unreasonable. No one thought King Liang was anything special that could make a woman so willing to risk everything, even her dignity.
“Prince Liang, I will report this matter to the Emperor truthfully. As for how to handle it, we will leave it to the Emperor to decide.”
The Empress remained calm. This incident had occurred at the banquet, and her task was to investigate the matter thoroughly.
In any case, all three sides have given their accounts, and it is up to the Emperor to decide who to believe.
Although the Prince of Liang has fallen from grace, he is still the Emperor's son, and the decision on this matter ultimately rests with the Emperor.
Taking matters into one's own hands will only displease the Emperor; it's not worth the risk for the sake of a mere Prince Liang.
Upon hearing the Queen's words, King Liang's heart sank.
The Empress had no interest in investigating the matter thoroughly; she didn't even bother to listen to the whole story, knowing without a doubt that the Emperor wouldn't say anything good about it.
Even the slightest criticism or insult could enrage the Emperor.
He turned his head and saw Chu Junting's nonchalant expression, as if he were just a joke in Chu's eyes.
He used to look at Chu Junting with this attitude, but now it seems that he has been completely trampled under his feet.
Wrong!
Chu Junting noticed Liang Wang's gaze, and he curled his lips into a smile that was filled with undisguised mockery.
"King Liang is truly blessed with good fortune; most people can only envy him."
King Liang clenched his fists, regretting that he had underestimated Chu Junting back then. If he had killed him then, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.
Having heard no news of Xuan Yang for so long, he knew very well that Xuan Yang was probably dead.
For the first time, he felt so powerless. He hadn't really grasped the situation during his confinement, but now... he finally understood.
Once outside the palace, Gu Huan'er had already started talking non-stop.
"It's a good thing we came to tonight's banquet; it was absolutely amazing. I was just being obedient, and it wasn't this exciting at all."
Gu Huan'er's eyes were full of excitement as she watched the drama unfold. "Wu Yue'er and Bu Qingyao are both crazy. How could they think of doing something like this?"
Meng Qin shook her head. "I never thought Bu Qingyao was a good person before. She's pretty and has a gentle personality."
Every time my parents scold me, they compare me to her, saying that she is gentle and has the demeanor of a noble lady, unlike me who is always causing trouble and speaking without any restraint.
I always thought she was understanding, and I never realized she liked Prince Yang, let alone that she would hold a grudge against me because of it…
Gu Huan'er patted Meng Qin and said, "Given your slow-witted nature, it's not surprising that you didn't notice. I quite believe it."
Meng Qin: "..."
Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle, "Respect everyone's fate. This outcome was her own choice."
