Chapter 997 Not picky at all
After the King of Liang and his companions finished dressing, they hurriedly went to the side hall next door.
After all, such an absurd thing had happened in this room, and there was even vomit on the floor. The Empress and Consort Liu felt disgusted after just one glance, so naturally they were unwilling to stay here any longer.
“King Liang, now you can speak properly.”
The Empress's expression was indifferent. If the Prince of Liang could not provide a reasonable explanation for today's events, then everything would be over!
King Liang had sorted out his thoughts. Although he didn't know why he had ended up in this situation, he was also unsure whether King Xiao was part of the scheme to frame him.
Since he's already in trouble, the only way he can have a chance to turn things around is to find a way to shift the blame onto someone else.
"Your Majesty, I got drunk with Prince Liang earlier and was completely out of my mind, which is why I came to the side hall to rest."
I don't know what happened afterward, nor when Prince Xiao left, but I'm certain I was drugged, which is why I did such a ridiculous thing!
As he spoke, King Liang turned his gaze to Bu Qingyao and said, "I have never met this young lady before, and I really don't understand why she would appear here out of the blue."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately fell upon Bu Qingyao.
"Miss Bu, did you make an appointment with Prince Liang to be here?" the Empress asked.
Bu Qingyao's mind was in complete chaos at this moment, and she had no idea how to explain. Her reputation was ruined after the matter was exposed, but if she could not give a reasonable explanation when faced with such questions, it would be difficult to fool her.
Most importantly... if she admits that she intentionally seduced him, she'll never be able to face anyone again!
Not only will he lose face and be despised by everyone in the capital, but his entire family will also be implicated.
After all, she dared to scheme against the prince, and the royal family would certainly not let her off easily. Thinking of this, her eyes gradually became firm.
They'll never admit it!
Absolutely not admit it!
"I have no idea."
Bu Qingyao raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, her pale face showing confusion, panic, and the humiliation of being insulted.
"Your Majesty, I do not know, I truly do not know."
Looking at Bu Qingyao's innocent and naive appearance, King Xiao couldn't help but sneer. Sure enough, these women are cunning and their methods are all incredibly sophisticated!
If he hadn't witnessed what Bu Qingyao had done with his own eyes, he probably would have thought she was framed and innocently implicated.
He now understands that none of these women are easy to deal with. On the surface, they all seem gentle and innocent, but in reality, they are all vicious and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
This time, King Liang was unlucky; he was outmaneuvered on his behalf.
"You didn't know?" The Empress frowned. "This side hall is where the Prince rests. Why would a young lady like you come to the Prince's resting place?"
“A maid told me that the prince wanted to see me and asked me to come over.”
Bu Qingyao's eyes were clear, and she spoke in a very convincing manner, "I knew today was the day for the prince to choose a princess. When I heard the news, I didn't think much of it. I thought the prince really had feelings for me, so I went happily..."
Who would have thought...who would have thought that after I arrived, I wouldn't see the Prince, and then somehow I fainted.
As she spoke, Bu Qingyao's tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said:
"Your Majesty, I truly don't know what's going on..."
The Empress paused, then pondered, "So, according to you, it was Prince Liang who took a fancy to you, so he specially had you summoned here and forcibly took you?"
Bu Qingyao subconsciously looked at King Liang, her expression filled with fear, too scared to speak.
Looking at Bu Qingyao's appearance, King Liang began to have doubts. He was the one who was drugged. If Bu Qingyao was also drugged, then who was the one who drugged her?
“King Xiao, we came here together, why am I the only one left here?” King Liang asked.
He felt that it was Prince Xiao who was harming him!
He clearly had no enmity with Prince Xiao, yet Prince Xiao would do something like this just to curry favor with Chu Junting. It was utterly shameless!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, King Xiao quickly explained:
“This matter has nothing to do with me. I came to the palace with the Prince of Liang to rest. I asked a servant to bring me some tea to help me sober up.”
For some reason, the waiter only brought over one cup.
King Xiao had already scanned the hall earlier and noticed that the hangover tea that had been placed to the side was gone, indicating that there was something wrong with the hangover tea.
The other party simply took the hangover tea away without leaving a trace, so he simply changed his story.
"I had a terrible headache at the time, so I drank the hangover tea first. Then I saw that the King of Liang was very drunk, so I thought I would have someone bring me another cup of hangover tea."
But I hadn't seen anyone along the way, so I returned to the banquet. Before I could even get back, everyone said Miss Bu was missing, so I came back with everyone else.
At this point, King Xiao glanced at King Liang with a somewhat speechless expression.
“Prince Liang, you don’t have a queen right now. If you really have your eye on someone, why not just say it directly? Why do you have to resort to such methods?”
Besides, we have no grudge against each other. Even if I really wanted to frame you, I wouldn't go so far as to use a girl to do such a thing, let alone with Princess Kang here. Would I be crazy?
King Kang's words were frank and open, and everyone felt that they made a lot of sense.
The thought of Wu Yue'er gave King Liang a headache. The moment he saw her, he almost thought he had seen a ghost!
This woman is deliberately trying to bring him bad luck!
He was perfectly fine before, but he was countered by Wu Yue'er, which is why he was confined to his quarters and his forces were severely damaged by Chu Junting!
Now that I've finally gotten out, I'm looking for an opportunity to get out of confinement as soon as possible, but look what happened, this woman has reappeared.
"Princess Consort Kang, why are you here?" The Empress looked at Wu Yue'er. She had to admit that Bu Qingyao's matter was nothing, but Wu Yue'er's appearance was no small matter.
The moment Song Ruozhen saw Wu Yue'er, she knew that this woman, like Wu Shengze, was tormented by nightmares at night.
His deathly pale face looked like he'd seen a ghost, and he looked utterly exhausted.
Perhaps because she was pregnant and had been confined to the Kang Prince's residence, her condition was already poor. Now, with nightmares every night, she was still able to have sex with the Liang Prince. She really had some skills.
“Even with Wu Yue’er’s appearance, the Prince of Liang can tolerate her. He’s really not picky at all,” Gu Huan’er couldn’t help but say.
