After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 279 Concubines in the Brothel
"What? Who are you saying she is?"

Treasure shouted in disbelief and circled around the woman next to the madam several times.

Inside the Spring Flower Pavilion, the air was filled with the fragrance of cosmetics and the candlelight was dazzling. People raised their cups and danced with their sleeves, enjoying themselves immensely.

The madam waved her handkerchief, covered her mouth, and chuckled, proudly displaying her masterpiece.

“Wanyue is indeed His Highness the Crown Prince’s concubine. Whenever His Highness the Crown Prince is sad, he brings Wanyue to his residence to comfort him. Look, Wanyue is carried into the residence by the Crown Prince every morning and evening.”

A beautiful woman standing nearby chuckled softly, then lowered her head shyly.

Fu Le clenched his fists angrily, "Impossible, His Highness the Crown Prince would not betray Princess Sister."

During the Southern Moon period, the Crown Prince and his elder sister, the Princess, fell in love. By chance, she was sent to Northern Lin by her elder brother for a political marriage. His Highness the Crown Prince sternly refused and told her that once the situation stabilized, he would send her back to Eastern Chen.

His Highness the Crown Prince is deeply in love with the Princess, so why would he keep a woman in a brothel?

The madam chuckled, looking like a seasoned veteran.

"What does this little girl know about love between men and women? What man doesn't stray? Wanyue's figure is like a weeping willow, probably even better than some others."

Wanyue lowered her eyes shyly, "It is Wanyue's blessing to be able to serve His Highness the Crown Prince."

The building was filled with male customers, some of whom were drunk and making lewd remarks.

"I've heard that Princess Nan Yue is also a great beauty. I wonder, between her and Miss Wan Yue, whose figure is more outstanding?"

Another male customer grinned lewdly, "If only I could taste it..."

“You filthy bastard, how dare you insult the Crown Princess!” The roar echoed as Zhenbao lifted the heavy table and smashed it at several male guests. “Die, die!”

"Ouch."

The male customer screamed in agony; both of his legs were smashed and his wrist was shattered.

"You wretch, don't you know who I am? I am a high-ranking official who beats up a government official and will exterminate your entire clan."

The male customer clutched his wrist, wincing in excruciating pain, his eyes blazing with venom, as if he wanted to tear them to shreds.

"Guards! Guards, seize them!"

The madam shielded Wanyue behind her and shouted in a panic. A dozen guards carrying thick sticks ran out from the corner tower and surrounded them.

Fule stood beside the treasure and rebuked it sternly.

"You dare! I am Princess Dongchen. You have spread rumors and insulted the envoys of Nanyue in the street, and insulted the future emperor of Nanyue. Even if you are an official of the Beilin court, ten heads would not be enough to cut off your head."

These bastards! Princess is dedicated to the country and its people, yet they speak filthy words and their minds are full of disgusting things.

The guards were so frightened that they took a step back, looking at each other and not daring to step forward and swing their clubs.

Fule straightened his back and began to speak, enunciating each word clearly.

"How dare you touch this princess and assault the Dongchen royal family? This will create a rift between our two countries. Who will take responsibility for this?"

The madam's face turned pale. She certainly couldn't afford to offend the royal family, but she dared not disobey the master's orders.

"Ladies, they all acted unintentionally. Please, have mercy and let Chunhua Pavilion go."

Wan Yue and Liu Ruofu wiped away their tears and stubbornly raised their heads.

"As long as the two young ladies spare Chunhualou, Wanyue is willing to serve as their slave to atone for her sins."

Fule immediately understood her meaning and became furious.

"What right do you have to beg for mercy?"

She actually tried to outdo Nan Yue Tai Nu in magnanimity, using her unknown identity to feign weakness and pretend to be a victim.

Zhenbao dragged the table leg over to her and slapped her without saying a word.

"The Crown Princess once said that one should be gentle with women, but you disgust me."

Without glancing at her again, he walked toward the male guest who called himself Zhongsan Dafu and took out the envoy's token from his waist.

“You have insulted the Crown Princess and damaged the friendship between our two countries. As punishment, I will cripple both of your hands. I will inform the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince so that they can punish you.”

Liu Taiwei's only son, who had offended the Crown Princess, was still imprisoned in Dali Temple, where he was tortured day and night. The same way he tortured the suffering women, the beggars sent to Dali Temple tortured him. Without giving him a chance to react, they lifted the corner of the table and smashed it into his other hand. Those around him turned pale with fright at the sound of his agonizing screams.

Standing in the northern court, the Second Prince glared angrily at the Crown Prince below the throne, his fists clenched, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

"Your Highness, the Emperor is still ill and has not yet announced who will be in charge of the court. Do you intend to overstep your bounds?"

His Majesty fell ill too quickly, completely outside of his plans, and with Grand Commandant Liu being thoroughly investigated, he found himself completely alone.

It's all his fault. Why didn't he die in Nanyue back then? Why did he come back to compete with him for the throne?

Yu Changfeng calmly replied, "I am the Crown Prince personally appointed by my father. My father is ill and unable to preside over state affairs. What is wrong with me sharing the burden with my father?"

His sharp gaze met the Second Prince's directly. "Or is it that Second Brother wants to make decisions for Father?"

"Yu Changfeng, don't be so smug," the Second Prince retorted angrily, unable to contain his temper and lunging forward, but the Grand Secretary hurriedly pulled him back.

"Why should I be so proud?" Yu Changfeng looked at the impatient Second Prince with a leisurely air and opened a memorial.

"Liu Taiwei has served as an official for fifty-three years, during which he has cultivated relationships with court officials, formed cliques, and misled the imperial family," he said, raising his hand slightly. Eunuch Wang distributed more than a dozen memorials, and the court officials were all shocked when they took them and read them.

"I was ordered to investigate the case of Grand Commandant Liu, and every single detail has been recorded. What more do you have to say?"

The second prince's face was ashen. Most of the murder cases in the memorials were related to him. If he pleaded for Grand Tutor Liu, he would inevitably be implicated.

He understands the principle of sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

"Your Highness should investigate and report to the Emperor. Why make things difficult for others here?"

Liu Taiwei was his uncle, and Yu Changfeng was clearly watching him make a fool of himself.

My uncle has long been confined to his residence, and the charges against him are not up to him to decide.

Yu Changfeng sneered inwardly, "Second Imperial Brother Gao Yi."

If they wanted to protect themselves, without Grand Commandant Liu, the Second Prince's faction posed no threat whatsoever.

The Second Prince couldn't stand Yu Changfeng's triumphant appearance, so he offered his congratulations in a sarcastic tone.

"Your Highness is so fortunate to have the Princess of Nan Yue by your side, and several lovers in the brothel. Your brother congratulates you on enjoying the blessing of having multiple wives."

If we can't suppress him, we'll at least disgust him to death.

Yu Changfeng's expression suddenly turned cold. "What do you mean?"

He was outmaneuvered.

The Second Prince smiled smugly, "Your Highness, you don't know, but the concubine you hid in the brothel was found by the maid of the Crown Princess of Nan Yue. That concubine is truly pitiful to behold. The Crown Princess of Nan Yue is kind-hearted, so she will surely accept her."

As the sun sets in the west, its rays slant across half the sky, painting it with a halo.

Shi Nuanyu sat lazily in the pavilion, casually tossing fish food into the pond and watching the fish in it.

"Arao, have Zhenbao and Fule returned?"

Arao stood beside her and took the fish food.

"They went back. Realizing they had caused trouble, they knelt outside the courtyard as punishment."

The news that the Crown Prince of Beilin was hiding concubines in a brothel spread like wildfire, and even the servants in the mansion knew about it, yet the Crown Princess showed no anger whatsoever.

Shi Nuanyu asked in surprise, "They didn't do anything wrong, so why are they kneeling? Let them come in and rest."

Ara couldn't understand it, and after thinking for a moment, she asked.

"Your Highness is not angry?"

"Why get angry? Whether this matter is true or false, it is Yu Changfeng's business."

Shi Nuanyu silently withdrew her gaze, letting the fish scatter.

With so many people around her, it's not impossible for Yu Changfeng to find someone else. She had already promised them that if they ever fell in love with someone else, they could leave on their own.

"Shi Nuanyu, do you really think that way?"

Yu Changfeng, dressed in a python robe, strode over with a gloomy expression, his eyes fixed on the indifferent woman in front of him.
