It had been two weeks since the banquet has ended. Being clear on the entire matter he was calm and composed. Third prince became talk of the city for quite days as he missed the tea ceremony and the visiting of brides house because of over sex.
Though he was able to calm the situation down but still failed to shut mouths hence he killed many servants of his manor in fit of anger. He was restless, as the person whom he was expecting to talk to was nowhere to be found. With Yusheng slipping out of his plan and having to bear Xu Lu he was livid.
Xu Lu was facing abuse in form of coitus every night. Her life was far from what she had imagined, she had became clear of how unwanted she was. Though she was given necessities of her status, the love care and gentleness and warm husband was nothing but a mere dream. The maid was killed the very next day frightening her more.
Prime minister had finished his punishment able to enter the court from yesterday. He was busy with the wedding preparation of Zhou xuan and the grand party decided earlier. To ensure each side has peace he was greatly focused to turn it into a great success. He also wanted to create a benevolent and righteous image even letting his di daughter to marry as a consort as a form of consolation.
With his people mixed in crowd he was already able to change the rumors and opinions related towards the entire fiasco created by Xuan. People were praising him as a very righteous person while xuan was just a naive girl falling in love. Song hui and Bai lan has now become pair of inseparable lovers deep in love but generous enough to forgive and accept xuan in their life happily.
Consort mu was very livid turning the entire monastery up and down. But feng Min came to warn her with a message to behave or she would rather be turned into a nun unable to enter the palace. After that she became or tried to show that she is repenting by waking early before dawn praying to Buddha all day, writing scriptures and stuff.
The Mu clan had fallen on their head and with emperors balatant warning had become turtle hiding inside their shells. They were all just waiting for the day to soar again. With minister Zhou passing the message to be calm and not foolish had given them hope to have the situation turned.
Duke ying house was also busy with preparation. Though they were not happy with either of the brides especially Xuan still tried their best as not to irritate the minister or let the crowd have fun. Song hui had gotten more involved with Bai lan these days. They would meet often and shut themselves in a room enjoying the flesh pleasure.
Song hui felt exhilarated sleeping with her to the point that his visits to brothels and using tongfangs had reduced a lot. More like from the love pill he ate had made him unable to enjoy to highest peak.
Though on top of Bai lan once and then he would imagine her to be Yusheng giving him more excitement and pleasure. This soon turned into a habit, always thinking about yusheng had the pill change it's effect.
Now he need to think of Yusheng and have sex with Bai lan to enjoy the pleasure given by coitus. As a man he also wanted to taste xuan as she was also good looking. He wanted to satisfy his imagination on Xuan which he only found through some of his pervert friends.
Like third prince minister Zhou was also hot in wheels for the pursuit of the man. With the situation they wanted to have their second plan move forward. To rebel and force the emperor to abdicate. For that they wanted his support and his witty mind which was even able to poison the royal couples so cleanly. But like third prince he couldn't find the person making him anxious and nervous.
Though having a secret army it was far from enough, unless ambushing the palace silently heading upfront was nothing but sending their army to be slained. He wanted to use the person inside who helped with poisoning to make the ambush a success.
Unknown to them pei jin has long prepared for them. He had planned a good show for all of them especially for Yusheng who loved to watch these shows. With things already in place he was more worried in thinking of ways to impress the elders for the blessing of his and hers relationship.
