001 was framed
In a room of the Prince of Nanping's mansion, two figures lay side by side on a carved pear wood bed, their bodies lightly covered with a peony brocade quilt, their intertwined limbs leaving much to the imagination.
The unconscious woman had skin as white as snow, and the curve of the quilt was full yet slender, making her look truly delicate and frail. If it weren't for the horrible scar on her face, she could truly be called an unparalleled beauty.
She was Ye Pianran, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anshi and a concubine of Chunyu Jing, the Prince of Nanping.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside. Prince Chunyu Jing of Nanping kicked open the door and stormed into the room. He immediately saw a man and a woman lying on the bed. Chunyu Jing was so angry that his chest felt like it was about to explode. He grabbed Ye Pianran's slender wrist and dragged her off the bed, slapping her hard across the face.
"Shameless hussy! How dare you do such a scandalous thing right under my nose!"
The slap completely woke Ye Pianran from her unconsciousness. She opened her eyes and looked around the unfamiliar room in a daze.
What's going on? Wasn't she resting in her own room? How did she suddenly appear here?
The man lying on the bed suddenly jumped off and knelt down in front of Chunyu Jing with a thud. He kowtowed to Chunyu Jing with a look of terror on his face: "Your Highness! It wasn't Madam Ran who seduced me, it was I who forced Madam Ran... Please, Your Highness, don't make things difficult for Madam Ran!"
Ye Pianran stared in disbelief at the scene. Her dazed mind instantly cleared, and she scrambled towards Chunyu Jing, pleading, "Innocent, Your Highness! This lowly concubine did not betray you! This lowly concubine does not even know this man!"
Seeing her swollen and pitiful face, Chunyu Jing kicked her away with disgust.
"Get out of my way! I saw it with my own eyes, and you still dare to deny it!"
Chunyu Jing kicked Ye Pianran squarely in the chest, and Ye Pianran screamed and fell to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing this, the man cried out "Madam!" and tried to help Ye Pianran up. His action only added fuel to the fire, further confirming their affair.
Even though Chunyu Jing had never touched Ye Pianran, she was still his concubine. He was consumed by rage and grabbed the knife from the guard behind him, slashing it hard at the man. The man died instantly, and hot blood sprayed all over Ye Pianran.
At this moment, Princess Ye Yingrou, the principal wife of Prince Nanping, finally entered the room. Upon seeing the dead body and the blood all over the ground, she was terrified and quickly asked, "Your Highness, sister, what happened?"
The Prince of Nanping pointed his knife at Ye Pianran, wishing he could kill her: "Why don't you ask your dear sister what she's been doing!"
Ye Pianran trembled as if she had seen a savior. She knelt on the ground and took two steps towards Ye Yingrou, crying and pleading, "Your Highness, I have truly not betrayed the Prince. Please, please restore my innocence!"
Ye Yingrou suppressed the urge to smile and turned to Chunyu Jing with pleading eyes: "Your Highness, is there some misunderstanding? Perhaps..."
"Misunderstanding?" Chunyu Jing interrupted her through gritted teeth. "I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Are you implying that I am blind and deaf?"
"I dare not!" Ye Yingrou quickly knelt down, stammering as she added, "But...but she is, after all, my sister..."
"Hmph! I only took her as a concubine out of pity, but who knew she would be so shameless, she has utterly disgraced me!" Chunyu Jing pointed at Ye Pianran and said viciously, "Guards! Drag this shameless slut out, sever her tendons, give her eighty strokes of the cane, and throw her out of the palace!"
Ye Pianran turned pale with fright. She tried to grab Chunyu Jing's clothes, but her hands were immediately grabbed by two incredibly strong servants and ruthlessly dragged out of the house.
"No! No! I was really framed! Lingyi and Lingshu can testify for me... Ah!"
Seeing Lingyi and Lingshu's bloodied corpses being carried on the shoulders of two guards, she was so frightened that she lost her voice.
Ye Pianran then realized what a terrible trap she had stepped into. This time, she was afraid she couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River!
