The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness Chapter 837 - Saying That It Is All Feng Tianlan’s Scheme

Chapter 837: Saying That It Is All Feng Tianlan’s Scheme
Shen Yunya sorted her thoughts, then said in a trembling voice, “I remembered something. Your Majesty, please do me justice. I ended up like this because I was set up by an evildoer.”
The Empress, who was watching over the unconscious Xi Jin, was surprised when she heard what Shen Yunya said. She instantly felt discontented. “Is the evildoer who the second daughter of Shen Family was talking about with the Crown Prince?”
“No,” Shen Yunya lowered her head and said immediately. “When I was drinking some wine, the imperial maid told me that the Crown Prince had passed out from drinking. She kept asking me to take a look. I was worried about the Crown Prince’s safety on the account of our long relationship. I didn’t dare to waste a single second. Therefore, I went immediately. When I saw the Crown Prince, a fragrance entered my nose. When I woke up, the Empress Dowager had already witnessed this scene.”
Her mother’s initial plan was to lure Feng Tianlan and He Lianhuang to the West Partial Palace separately. When they smelled the love potion in the perfume satchel, they would definitely feel aroused. When they were caught in passion, they would naturally get together.
Right now, she was just making a slight change to the story to ease her situation.
Miss Luo, who was hugging the unconscious Luo Shiyun, raised her head and stared at Shen Yunya angrily. She then cried while questioning her, saying, “What about the line ‘finally get to make love’ that we heard just now? Was that all fake?”
She felt sorry for her daughter. She had finally managed to get married to the person she loved. However, she was now unconscious because of some b*tch.
“I…” Shen Yunya bit her lower lips as she spoke while crying. “I thought I was dreaming. Besides, I was drugged. My consciousness was quite blurry. Therefore, I said those things absent-mindedly.”
The Emperor wasn’t clear about all these dirty things. Hence, he turned towards the Empress Dowager, who had remained silent the whole time. She had a sullen look on her face that seemed to imply a storm was coming. “Queen Mother. You think…?”
“Let’s wait until the Crown Prince and his second consort come around before we discuss this any further. Besides, this incident is very suspicious. Lock the imperial maid that showed up just now in a house together with all the imperial maids in the East Palace. We will carry out an investigation later. People are only allowed to enter the East Palace. From now on, they can’t leave.” The Empress Dowager stared at Shen Yunya coldly with her ferocious eyes.
When Yuan Fangfei heard that they were going to carry out an investigation, she said immediately, “Empress Dowager, quickly find out who isn’t here right now. That person must be destroying the evidence. That person is the most suspicious one.”
She took a scan around the room just now and didn’t see Feng Tianlan anywhere. She believed that Feng Tianlan had gone to the West Partial Palace. If the Empress Dowager sent someone to search for Feng Tianlan right now, she would definitely find out about other dirty stuff. Her effort tonight wouldn’t be wasted that way.
It didn’t matter if she couldn’t push all the blame onto Feng Tianlan. At least the incident of her not behaving herself and having an affair behind the Demon King’s back would be spread around. This would cause Feng Tianlan to lose her support. By then, it would be as easy as crushing an ant for the Shen Family to take care of her.
The Empress Dowager found what Yuan Fangfei said reasonable. Therefore, she sent the people in the palace to look around. Whoever was absent would be the most suspicious one.
“Empress Dowager, all the madams and misses are here, except Princess Zhaoyang,” an imperial maid reported after recognizing all their faces.
The Empress was already extremely angry. After hearing this report and relating it to what she said previously, she instantly burst into a rage. She then questioned Yuan Fangfei angrily while shivering in fury. “Yuan Fangfei, are you saying that my princess was the one who set the Crown Prince up?” she asked.
“Impossible. She must have left someone out.” Yuan Fangfei raised her head and took a quick look around. She then said before she took an even closer look, “The Demon King’s Princess Consort, Feng Tianlan, is also not around. She is the suspicious one. I wasn’t referring to Princess Zhaoyang.”
If she were to involve the Princess in this incident, she would definitely be in trouble today.
Feng Tianlan, who was standing in the corner, spoke faintly when she heard what Yuan Fangfei had just said. “Is Lady Shen talking about me?” she asked.
