Chapter 841: Was He Helping Shen Yunya or Harming Her?

Feng Tianlan stared blankly ahead while listening to Shen Yunya’s words. Her attitude changed too quickly. She had adamantly refused to admit to anything just earlier, and now she changed her tone when Xi Jin woke up.

Was this to sacrifice herself as well as to preserve Xi Jin? Had she used the ploy of injuring herself to gain her enemy’s sympathy?

But Feng Tianlan thought about how Shen Yunya had made a blood sacrifice to the crystal ball in the past. Those were all ploys to gain her enemy’s confidence. From the time they were young until now, Shen Yunya had used plenty of sympathy ploys. It was only that Feng Tianlan was blinded at the time and did not see her true colors.

Xi Jin looked at the two women crying and rubbed his temples because of his headache. He spoke, full of confusion, asking, “Mother, what’s the matter? Why is everyone gathered here?”

The Empress reached out to massage his temples and did not answer his question. Instead, she said, “The physician said you are like this because you were drugged. Do you feel any discomfort? We will talk again when you recover.”

“Crown Prince, what the h*ll is going on here?” the Emperor asked in a deep voice. If it was the Crown Prince who forced himself upon her, then the Crown Prince’s reputation would be damaged.

The Empress gave Shen Yunya, who was drumming up sympathy, a cold glance. She looked up at Xi Jin on the bed and spoke with a kind voice, saying, “Jin’er, do you still remember what happened? You must not let people smear the Imperial Family’s prestige and also get away with this evil scheme.”

To the Empress Dowager, everything that happened tonight was plotted by Yuan Fangfei and Shen Yunya. She knew from the moment Yuan Fangfei had actively led them to this side. Moreover, Yuan Fangfei wanted to frame the Demon King’s Princess Consort, Feng Tianlan, for this matter. It was simply to drive a wedge in their relationship with the Bailan Alliance.

If they succeeded, she did not know what was going to happen.

Xi Jin did not seem too sober as of yet. He let the Empress help him rub his temples. As he thought back to what happened before, he spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice, saying, “I felt a little drunk, so I wanted to get some air to clear my head. But I heard footsteps behind me as well as Ya’er’s cries. In the end, I was about to fall just as I turned around. Fortunately, Ya’er helped support me so that I did not fall down.”

“There’s no hurry. Think slowly, Jin’er. Don’t worry yourself over anything.” Seeing how Xi Jin did not talk, the Empress was very distressed. If this matter had not been about the Imperial Family’s prestige, she would not have worried about anything else. She only wanted to let her son get a good night’s rest.

Xi Jin thought about it and said, “She and I had hugged each other, and I smelled the fragrance on her body. Unknowingly – perhaps I was feeling tipsy – she and I were in an embrace. I somewhat lost control of myself and kissed her. I felt that there was a taste, sweet as fruit juice, in my mouth. After that, I was not aware of anything until I woke up now. I only feel like I’m hollowed out.”

Feng Tianlan looked at Xi Jin’s muddled state. There did not seem to be any gaps in his speech. She frowned. These words sounded like there was no problem, but in fact, there was still a big problem.

It vaguely pointed the evening’s affairs to Shen Yunya.

“A sweet scent? What kind of scent could she have on her body? She must have sprinkled some kind of medicinal powder on her body and deliberately hugged the Crown Prince,” Luo Shiyun cried in an even louder voice and glowered in distress at Shen Yunya. “She is a little sl*t. She must have deliberately drugged the Crown Prince.”

Xi Jin still looked like he had a headache. He glanced at Luo Shiyun and gently reprimanded her, saying, “Yun’er, don’t talk nonsense. Ya’er is not such a person. Not to mention that I was drunk and just could not restrain myself from holding her.”

With that, he looked up puzzledly at the Empress and asked, “Mother, what exactly happened? Why is my head so painful? Why am I so tired?”
