Chapter 177 I Didn’t Do Anything to Sorry You
On the other side, Mu Qingyan was giving Yang Yi acupuncture to dissolve the effects of the medicine in his body.
Aphrodisiacs are not like poison. They can only relieve the symptoms, and then you have to rely on your own willpower to get through it, and then wait for your body to metabolize the effects of the drug.
Yang Yi was very embarrassed.
It felt like there was a fire burning inside my body, and my mind was only thinking about one thing.
He could only clench his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh. Only the pain could temporarily suppress the shameful and indignant impulse in his mind.
Fortunately, there is a villa next to Fuyuan, and the owner of this villa is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Yang Yi soaked himself in cold water, relying on his strong will to drive away the desire.
Mu Qingyan patted Qin Sangbai's hand and said, "He's fine, but he's in a bit of pain. Don't worry. I gave him an acupuncture injection. The effect of the medicine will wear off in half an hour at most. Let him soak in cold water for a while, and he'll feel better."
Qin Sangbai was a gentle person with a strong heart. She did not cry or wipe her tears. Although she was worried and anxious, she did not panic. On the contrary, she remained calm.
She listened to Mu Qingyan's words of comfort.
However, it is winter now, and if people soak in cold water, the effect of the medicine may wear off and they may get seriously ill afterwards.
These insidious things in the backyard are the most hurtful.
After the effect of the medicine in Yang Yi's body wore off, he climbed out of the bathtub with difficulty, wiped off the water stains on his body, and changed into new clothes.
His face was as pale as if he had suffered a serious illness.
The moment he saw Qin Sangbai, this tall and strong man lowered his head, full of guilt, "I'm sorry for making you worry... I, I didn't touch her... I didn't do anything to let you down..."
He had great difficulty in uttering those few simple words.
Qin Sangbai was the only one left in the yard; everyone else was outside.
She smiled and shook her head. "It's not your fault. Are you okay? We have to go back, otherwise, the people over there will get suspicious..."
Yang Yi nodded.
With heavy steps, he followed Qin Sangbai out of the yard.
Prince Ling and the Crown Prince were still standing outside.
Yang Yi stepped forward to greet him, "I am ashamed. I was careless for a moment and let someone take advantage of me. Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Your Highness, for covering up for me..."
If this matter were to get out, his reputation would be ruined. Not only would his engagement with Qin Sangbai be affected, but he might even lose his current official position.
The person behind the scenes did not want to deal with him, but wanted to destroy him in order to strike at Prince Ling and His Majesty.
Prince Ling raised his hand, signaling him not to be polite, "Today is not over yet, you still need to cheer up. Do those who want to frame you have any idea in mind?"
Yang Yi's face immediately became serious, "Yes..."
"Well, since we are here for a banquet and the host hasn't ordered the feast to begin, it is not right for a guest to leave on his own. Hold on, after today, I will seek justice for you."
Yang Yi nodded, followed Prince Ling, and returned to the banquet, as if nothing had happened.
The affair between Zhou Yuan and the girl from the Zhou family behind the rockery had not yet been properly resolved, but the eldest princess had no regard for propriety and insisted on stripping the man naked and parading him through the streets.
At this moment, the effect of the medicine had worn off for the girl from the Zhou family, and she hid in her mother's arms, crying and shouting.
Before the birthday banquet, the Queen Mother specially summoned her into the palace.
The Queen Mother promised her that as long as she could have physical contact with Yang Yi at the birthday banquet, she would let her marry into the Marquis of Xiangning's mansion and decree that Yang Yi would be the crown prince and inherit the title in the future.
She had always liked Yang Yi, but he was engaged, so she could only keep it secret in her heart.
Her mother once said that Qin Sangbai was in poor health and would not live long, so she told her not to be anxious and to wait patiently for Qin Sangbai to die. Then, she would come to propose marriage.
But after waiting for so long, what she got was the news that Qin Sangbai had recovered!
Not only that, she also set up schools and charity halls, and won the praise and love of the people!
So when the Queen Mother proposed it, she agreed immediately!
What's wrong with using some tricks to marry the one you love?
As long as she can succeed, she will be a marquise in the future!
But she didn't expect that even if Yang Yi was drugged and unconscious, he would rather scratch himself than have the slightest contact with her.
The Queen Mother originally said that as long as people could see that the two of them were in disarray, it would be possible to prove that Yang Yi had molested her. However, before she could wait for the audience arranged by the Queen Mother, she was hit with a knife. When she came to her senses, she heard that the Grand Princess wanted to strip her naked and parade her through the streets.
She didn't know what had happened yet, but seeing how disheveled she was, with her clothes in disarray and the pain coming from that place, she knew that her innocence was gone.
She couldn't help but feel sad, "Mother... Mother, I have no face to live... It was the eldest son of the Yang family who ruined my daughter's innocence... Mother, you have to make the decision for me..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people around him changed.
Yang Yi's aunt Shangguan was also present. Upon hearing this, she immediately shouted angrily, "Everyone present today has witnessed that you shamelessly had sex with someone. That person was the former Privy Councilor of the current dynasty, a first-rank official! He was imprisoned for a crime not long ago! How dare you slander my nephew in front of so many people!"
"What... not Young Master Yang..." Zhou Qin felt cold in his heart...
Of course, she knew very well who the current Privy Councilor was.
But wasn't he in prison? How could he appear in the Grand Princess's villa and take away her innocence?
The Grand Princess must have known that the Queen Mother asked her to seduce Yang Yi. Even if things went wrong, the Grand Princess should have gone with the flow and let things develop in the direction they expected. Why did she humiliate her in such a cruel way?
Even if Zhou Qin had eight heads, he couldn't figure it out.
The Queen Mother's original intention was to destroy Yang Yi. Now that Yang Yi is fine, she has naturally become a useless piece. A useless chess piece has only one end, and that is to be abandoned.
When she saw Yang Yi, neatly dressed, walking slowly behind Prince Ling, her heart sank to the bottom.
No, no, it's impossible... She saw him drink the drugged wine with her own eyes...
As soon as Qin Sangbai returned here, he went to look for Mu Qingyan.
She was standing with Princess Ning Sheng.
Also next to them were Old Madam Gu and the eldest lady of the Gu family.
The Gu family didn't want to join in the fun, but since everyone was gathering here, they didn't want to stand out from the crowd, so they left their seats and came here.
The two young masters of the Gu family were not in the crowd. Mu Qingyan looked around but did not see them.
The eldest princess was so overwhelmed that she only wanted to vent her anger for her son and had completely forgotten that Zhou Yuan had no relationship with her on the surface.
Moreover, she had no time to think about why Zhou Yuan appeared here at this time and what his appearance here meant.
