Chapter 111: Hero Saves the Beauty
"Absurd!" The Empress Dowager hurriedly cut the Crown Prince off, truly enraged.
Aphrodisiacs? How dare he speak of such things in the imperial court? It was truly a disgrace to the imperial family. If she didn't stop him, he'd probably describe the details of how they "cured" the aphrodisiac for everyone to appreciate.
The Crown Prince deliberately took the opening the Empress Dowager gave him and shut his mouth.
"Mother Empress, please calm your anger." The Emperor stepped in to smooth things over. "The Crown Prince did indeed enter the capital ahead of his procession to report to Zhen. On the day he entered the palace for his audience, his face was indeed pale, and his body was covered in serious injuries."
"Father Emperor, Imperial Grandmother, please see clearly." The Crown Prince interjected, "Young Miss Sun, in her great righteousness, used her pure body to cure your son and subject of that aphrodisiac's poison. She even had the doctor in her residence treat your son and subject's battle wounds, and used the thousand-year-old ginseng from the betrothal gifts as a medicinal primer for your son and subject to take. Everything Young Miss Sun did was a sacrifice for the country."
Sigh, what a high hat he was putting on her...
Sun Jiaojiao buried her head on the ground and kowtowed, accepting and wearing it.
"If Father Emperor and Imperial Grandmother do not believe that Young Miss Sun's chastity was indeed given to your son and subject, then your son and subject can only..." The Crown Prince paused, making everyone even more curious.
What else could he do?
Ascend to the heavens?
The Crown Prince suddenly pulled out a pair of underpants from his robes. On the white underpants was a faint red bloodstain. It was clearly a woman's style.
Sun Jiaojiao felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
My goodness!
Where did the Crown Prince conjure these bloody underpants from?
She vaguely recognized the pattern on the underpants. They did seem to be hers—the Crown Prince really had a twisted hobby! Secretly keeping her underpants!
His Highness the Crown Prince was not at all ashamed. Instead, he held them as if they were some precious treasure. "Your son and subject has Young Miss Sun's underpants as proof. We can test the blood at any time to prove that the virgin blood on these underpants is Young Miss Sun's virgin blood."
Sun Jiaojiao trembled. She was super afraid of pain. She didn't want any blood test!
Before the Crown Prince could throw out even more compelling and suggestive evidence, Sun Jiaojiao hurriedly nodded and admitted it. "Your Majesty, please see clearly. The situation was urgent at the time. This subject truly did it to save a life. There was no other way, so I resorted to this."
Although the scene was a bit chaotic, and the Crown Prince's private life was exposed to everyone, Sun Jiaojiao had to admit, this was a direct and effective method.
The Crown Prince was brave, resourceful, and a bit of a scoundrel. She liked it.
Moreover, for him to be able to pull out a pair of underpants from his person in a second, it was obvious he was prepared. He must have known everything that was going to happen in court today, which is why he so unhurriedly pulled out these bloody underpants, having long since thought of how to deal with it.
"Your son and subject's situation was critical that day. I rashly broke into Young Miss Sun's boudoir. Almost all the servants in the Minister's Residence saw it. If anyone does not believe it, they can all be summoned for interrogation," the Crown Prince added.
Sun Jiaojiao understood.
No wonder the Crown Prince had swaggered back to the capital and entered her home first. It wasn't just because he missed her. It was probably a case of "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
The entire Minister's Residence was under his control. It was true, all the servants had seen it with their own eyes. If anyone wanted to betray the Minister's Residence and send a message out, they really couldn't—the Minister's Residence's food and supplies were all being sent from the Crown Prince's Residence now. Without the Crown Prince's Residence's permission, not a single servant could get out the door.
"This subject... this subject has something to say!" Sun Jiaojiao couldn't let the Crown Prince charge into battle alone. She had to "sing her husband's tune" (follow his lead)! She had to throw something out to shut everyone's mouths.
