Chapter 865: 865 Can’t Show My Face in Public
Seeing Ye Jiu like this, Prince Jing had no choice but to go out and have a look himself.
Behind him, Ye Jiu covered her mouth, afraid that she couldn’t help but laugh out loud, her shoulders bouncing up and down adorably.
Qin Zhou suddenly patted her on the back, "Big sister, did you do something bad?"
Anyway, the way he looked at Ye Jiu, she seemed to have a gloating expression.
Ye Jiu immediately coughed lightly, "What nonsense are you talking? I’ve been sitting here without moving, what bad things could I possibly do!"
Qin Zhou said, "Oh, then I’ll go see what’s going on outside too."
After Qin Zhou went out as well, Ye Jiu turned around, ensuring no one else was coming out of the room before she felt at ease.
Then she stood up and followed as well.
She’s not doing this to steal anything from the Crown Princess Consort, such a great joke, it’s practically a rare sight worth watching!
When Ye Jiu followed over, many people had already flooded into the courtyard where the Crown Princess Consort was, thanks to her earlier wicked scream.
Unfortunately, the people inside had already reacted in time, and the room was locked from the inside.
Otherwise, in front of everyone’s gaze, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort would have been caught having an affair in broad daylight, especially in such a solemn and sacred place as a temple. It’s likely that the Crown Prince’s position would be jeopardized.
After all, this Songye Temple is not just any place but the royal family’s temple, worshiping the ancestors of the Royal Family. Even the Emperor must pay his respects and be careful with his words when he comes here.
Ye Jiu initially thought today would only serve as a minor lesson for the Crown Prince and his consort, but the saying "it’s not the strength of your adversary but the folly of your companions you should worry about" truly held.
As the crowd saw the door locked, they initially intended to withdraw since it was the Crown Princess Consort’s quarters, fearing to witness something inappropriate, everyone hesitated.
However, at this moment, the attendant serving the Crown Princess Consort suddenly began knocking anxiously on the door, "Madam, Madam, are you alright, Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
As the most distinguished person here, Prince Jing naturally stepped forward to inquire, "What’s going on?"
The maid looked bewildered, "I don’t know, Your Highness the Crown Prince arrived, and I stepped out for a moment. It was upon hearing Her Highness’s scream that I rushed back."
Ye Jiu scoffed, what do you mean stepped out for a moment, you were clearly keeping watch outside. She had seen it all while standing on the tree just earlier.
Being a big man himself, it was quite inappropriate for Prince Jing to knock on the door of his sister-in-law.
But since the maid couldn’t open it, in desperation, Prince Jing had to say, "Go find someone to break the door."
At this moment, hearing that the door was about to be broken, suddenly the people inside panicked, "No, no, don’t break the door, I am fine."
Hearing the people inside finally speak, those outside could finally relax.
"Crown Princess Consort, are you alright?" An acquaintance asked.
In broad daylight, the sudden scream and the tightly locked door, everything seemed off.
"I’m fine, just got scared by a mouse, you all may leave." The Crown Princess Consort said again.
Seeing people beginning to leave, yet her goal hadn’t been accomplished, Ye Jiu was truly unwilling to give up.
So taking the opportunity, Ye Jiu released the Furry Ball inside.
Just as the crowd reached the courtyard gate, they suddenly heard another scream from inside the Crown Princess Consort’s room, sharp and piercing, making one’s scalp tingle.
