Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

Chapter 116 (14/17)

The night he tricked Jin Yu into giving him her virginity several times, Chu Mingkong told her that she could come to his palace anytime without asking or waiting for him to open the door. Jin Yu had already given him her princess's residence token from outside the palace, allowing him free access.

Chu Mingkong had no reason to demand that she always greet him and wait for him at the gate before visiting. Given her status, it would be quite conspicuous for her to always wait for him at the gate of his manor without a special reason.

This promise would be fine under normal circumstances, but it's very problematic now!

Jin Yu was a clever girl. She had her maid carry the phoenix carriage to the front to greet people and draw their attention to the front. Then the phoenix carriage left, giving people the feeling that "Princess Jin Yu came to find Chu Mingkong, but did not find him, so Princess Jin Yu left." In fact, she went around to the back gate and entered the Chu Prince's mansion!

This made it inappropriate for Lady Baili to leave through any particular door, and since Jinyu was already very close to his room, there wasn't enough time for Lady Baili to disguise herself and sneak out.

Chu Mingkong noticed that Madam Baili also showed a look of panic, obviously sensing that her daughter Jinyu's aura was approaching.

She was puzzled as to why Jin Yu's relationship with Chu Mingkong was so close, with Chu Mingkong allowing her to freely enter and leave the Chu Prince's residence! But this puzzlement was irrelevant at the moment; she had to keep it hidden.

"Where can someone hide!" She didn't even care that Chu Mingkong was repeatedly trying to "break through" her.

Baili Mi's panic further confirmed Chu Mingkong's suspicions.

He picked up the stunningly beautiful woman, swiftly grabbed the clothes behind the screen, and put her into the wardrobe.

This was the best place in his room to hide someone. Of course, Chu Mingkong could also choose to sacrifice a Dust-Free Talisman, but he couldn't bear to.

Do you have a way to teleport away?

Baili Mi shook her head:

"No, activating a teleportation artifact requires a massive amount of spiritual power, and the fluctuations in its aura cannot be concealed."

"Then you'd better stay here obediently!"

Chu Mingkong's mind was in turmoil. What kind of situation was this? It was the same with Yongzhen. He originally wanted to get along well with Yongzhen, but he accidentally got along well with Madam Zhen. And now it was the same with Jinyu.

Fengying is truly my good sister. She kidnapped such a noble person for him to "heal" without saying a word.

Before he knew Baili Mi's identity, Chu Mingkong felt somewhat dissatisfied with her fickle attitude, but now he only felt a faint sadness and guilt.

He used his distorted filial piety to buy three or four bottles of Golden Crow Heart Essence and stuffed them into Baili Mi's arms.

"Take this as compensation for now. Tell me if you want anything else later. And here's this for you, Madam Baili. You should have good knowledge. See if you can recognize which puppeteer made this." Chu Mingkong tossed her the core he had grabbed from the puppet's arm.

After giving his instructions, Chu Mingkong slammed the wardrobe door shut with a "bang" and locked it with a small padlock to prevent it from being accidentally opened and leading to his death.

The moment the concealment was complete, Jin Yu entered his room almost simultaneously.

As soon as the charming girl entered the room, she clung to Chu Mingkong, her two fair arms encircling his neck, exuding beauty and grace.

He eagerly gave her a long, sweet kiss, and then Jinyu said with a beaming smile:

"Chu Lang, it's been quite a while since we last met. I gave you the token from the Princess's residence, but you haven't even taken the initiative to come and visit me!"

Through the crack in the door, Baili Mi witnessed her daughter's obsequious behavior in front of Chu Mingkong, and was astonished.

From the day Chu Mingkong saved Jin Yu, Baili Mi guessed that Jin Yu had developed feelings for Chu Mingkong. Jin Yu even tried to persuade her to change the order, changing the person Chu Mingkong was supposed to contact from Yongzhen to her, Jin Yu, and saying that the previous order had been sent to the wrong person.

But Baili Mi never expected them to become this close!

Baili Mi thought the long kiss was already outrageous enough, but then she saw Jin Yu kneel down and do *that* to Chu Mingkong...

Chu Mingkong had originally thought that Baili Mi was in the closet and that he needed to control his distance with Jin Yu. But Jin Yu kissed him right away, so he stopped trying to hide it. Anyway, Baili Mi would find out sooner or later, so he might as well continue to get along with Jin Yu as usual to avoid upsetting her.

"Jinyu, do you look like a magnet now? Every time I see you, you stick to me like a magnet attracted to opposite sexes, especially your little mouth."

As they spoke, Jin Yu had already knelt on the ground, untying Chu Mingkong's belt, accepting his teasing:

"If I were a magnet, then Chu Lang would be the compass. Every time he sees Jin Yu, that golden spoon of his would point at her with its perky tip!"

So Jin Yu is really just an old hand at flirting. She doesn't have many real skills, but she's got a whole repertoire of flirtatious remarks. At least among the girls she knows, no one can handle her teasing like she does.

It's just that...the people inside the closet heard everything.

Chu Mingkong couldn't bear to see her tender knees turn red from kneeling, so he carried Jin Yu to the soft bed.

As Jin Yu adjusted her position on the bed, her gaze fell on the wardrobe. If the wardrobe were ordinary, Jin Yu wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to it, but she noticed a lock hanging on it and became curious.

"Mingkong, what are you hiding in that wardrobe? And why is it locked?"

Baili Mi felt a pang of panic.

Chu Mingkong said without changing his expression:

“I’ve hidden someone. I bought a courtesan from the brothel and am hiding her.”

Baili Mi gritted her teeth in anger. This brat, who did he call a woman from the Jiaofangsi (a type of entertainment venue)?

Jin Yu held Chu Mingkong in her hands, rubbed her cheek against him, and secretly let her tongue slip out from the corner of her mouth, showing off its dexterity. After a while, Jin Yu finally said:

"I don't believe it. Tibetans wouldn't hide wardrobes."

"That's true... Actually, it's just some common medicinal herbs inside, given to me by my elders to treat my injuries. They said these herbs were useless, but they still sent them over. I was afraid they would find out that I was just being perfunctory with the herbs, so I locked them in the cabinet."

Chu Mingkong didn't want Jin Yu to keep focusing on the wardrobe, so he spoiled the mood by saying what he was going to say next. Originally, he was only going to tell Jin Yu, but it wouldn't hurt to tell Baili Mi now.

"By the way, Jinyu, in the next few days, I will choose a day to attend court and request to leave the capital temporarily. We may not be able to see each other for a while."

"Ah, why...?"

“A secret realm rich in rare medicinal herbs is about to open, and I have to go and try my luck.”

Jin Yu was reluctant, but she knew it was a big deal for Chu Mingkong's injuries. If that secret realm really opened, she had to go no matter what!

Thinking of their impending separation, their rendezvous quickly heated up, their passion burning like dry tinder, expressing their deep reluctance to part.

"Chu Lang, you seem fiercer than usual today."

But the beautiful woman in the wardrobe covered her mouth.

In the past?

Jin Yu and Chu Mingkong had a past... So why was her virginity mark still there during the physical examination that day?!

Chapter 117 Indeed, she looks a lot like Jin Yu

......

The lengthy cultivation process has been omitted.

The exhilarating cultivation finally came to a stop. Jin Yu was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to cling to Chu Mingkong anymore. After being tossed around in those thirty-six different cultivation postures, she collapsed onto the bed, panting.

Even though her body was sticky with sweat and some unknown liquid, she was still so beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off her. Chu Mingkong picked up her glossy, delicate body.

"Jinyu, how about I carry you to the next room to rest for a bit? I'll run you some water and give you a bath later."

Jin Yu was in a daze, not yet fully conscious. Chu Mingkong put something to her mouth, and she instinctively opened her mouth to ask him something, only subconsciously answering.

"Uh-huh......"

Without temporarily taking Jin Yu away from the room, Baili Mi wouldn't be able to get out. Chu Mingkong picked up Jin Yu and took her to the next room to rest, wrapping her in a luxurious quilt.

Chu Mingkong quietly asked, "Jinyu, what is your mother's name?"

The empress's name was rarely known; usually, only her surname was known to others.

"Pei Mi... what's wrong with Chu Lang?"

Chu Mingkong was speechless for a moment. He touched Jin Yu's handsome face and said:

"It's nothing, just asking."

After calming down for a long time, Chu Mingkong returned to his room, unlocked the door, and opened the wardrobe. The stunningly beautiful and graceful woman was still inside, wearing the black robe of the Princess of Xiling, her phoenix eyes staring at Chu Mingkong with disdain.

"Disgusting! You scoundrel!"

He was met with two insults, and Chu Mingkong couldn't refute them; this whole thing was just too outrageous in every way.

He had never thought about the palace before. Who would have thought that Feng Ying was so powerful that he could enter and leave the palace freely without the Dust-Free Talisman, and even capture people of this rank?

Anyone else want to curse?

"Shameless scoundrel! You did this on purpose!"

Baili Mi's eyes were filled with anger. Just now, Chu Mingkong had pinned Jin Yu against the wardrobe, making it rattle and sway as if an earth dragon was churning.

The bed was right next door. Only when he brought Jinyu to the bed could she not see him from the wardrobe through the crack in the door. But that bastard Chu Mingkong deliberately brought Jinyu to that tiny spot she could see through the crack and stirred things up.

What "drawing a bow and shooting the sun with a single stroke" and "Guanyin sitting on a lotus backwards"... This guy was as if he was afraid she wouldn't know, so he even read the names out loud!

Jin Yu is quite a handful; she actually took out her old, unused Empress Phoenix Robe and put it on, making Chu Mingkong feel quite comfortable.

When Baili Mi saw her clothes in Jin Yu's hands, she thought her identity had been discovered, but she realized that it hadn't. If Chu Mingkong knew her true identity, his attitude would probably be even worse.

The clothes of elders are probably Chu Mingkong's hobby. For example, the robe of the Princess of Xiling that she is wearing now is the clothes of his elder, his mother. Jin Yu bringing her clothes over was most likely at Chu Mingkong's behest.

What a despicable scoundrel!

The matter of Jin Yu stealing the Empress's phoenix robe truly had nothing to do with Chu Mingkong; it was Jin Yu's own idea. However, he enjoyed the experience immensely, and now, feeling somewhat guilty, he obediently accepted Baili Mi's scolding.

"I thought Lady Baili would sneak away while I was carrying Princess Jinyu out."

"You locked the wardrobe door!" Baili Mi gritted her teeth in anger.

Jin Yu was right next door, and she was worried that if she used her internal energy to break the lock, it would attract Jin Yu's attention.

"Aren't you afraid I'll reveal your secret with Princess Jinyu? You ruined Princess Jinyu's body. If I tell anyone, you'll be the royal family's number one enemy. That way, I'll have something on you."

Yes, yes, I'm terrified.

Chu Mingkong knew that this was just Madam Baili's intimidation.

"Lady Baili, do you know who the last person to do something similar was? It was the Fifth Prince. Do you want to be the next one?"

Baili Mi felt a chill run down his spine. His words were tantamount to admitting that Jin Yu had indeed been defiled by him, but that her virginity had not been damaged!

Even at first, she had some doubts, because Jin Yu and Chu Mingkong were indeed getting quite close. However, she recently discovered that Jin Yu's cultivation had not been affected and was even progressing very quickly, so Baili Mi dispelled her doubts.

In fact, Jin Yu was able to come out today at her behest, because seeing that Jin Yu's cultivation had yielded excellent results these days, she allowed her to take a break.

Baili Mi pretended not to understand, her beautiful face expressionless, and asked:

"What do you mean? Are you trying to deny it? I just saw with my own eyes that you ruined Princess Jinyu's body!"
