Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yunxi had a very good hearing so she naturally heard the discussions in the surroundings. Her expression was calm as she looked at the eunuchs and asked, “Who is your master?” “I, I’m the Empress’ servant…” “I’m Consort Mu’s servant…” “I’m Consort Hong’s servant…”

“What happened?”

At this mont, a palace servant supported the Empress Dowager to walk over. Behind the Empress Dowager were Empress Qin, Consort Hong, and Du Wenxin.

The eunuch who claid to be Empress Qin’s servant hurriedly kneeled down and said, “Quan De greets the Empress. Earlier, the others and I were moving things into the carriages when we saw this monk sneaking around in the backyard. At that ti, we saw that he dropped a handkerchief so we went and had a look. When we realized that it was the Eldest Princess’ handkerchief, we quickly apprehended him and brought him to the Eldest Princess so he could apologize to the Eldest Princess.”

The Empress Dowager said coldly, “Bring the handkerchief.”

The eunuch quickly presented the handkerchief to the Empress Dowager with two hands.

When the handkerchief was unfolded, the word ‘Xi’ was exposed before everyone’s eyes.

Everyone began to whisper again

“I rember it. This is indeed the Eldest Princess’ handkerchief.’

“Yes, I’ve seen it before as well…

The Empress Dowager berated coldly, “Shut up. How dare you gossip about matters concerning the imperial family!”

Everyone was frightened out of their wits and quickly lowered their heads. Although they were silent now, it did not stop their minds from thinking.

‘The Empress Dowager looks so anxious. Could it be that there’s more to this handkerchief?’

‘What if the Eldest Princess didn’t drop the handkerchief at all… What if the Eldest Princess… gave it to the monk?’

With these thoughts in mind, everyone looked at the monk furtively.

The monk was handso, and he possessed a pair of clear and bright eyes, which made him look like he was untainted by the secular world.

Many unmarried young won blushed when they looked at the monk, thinking that it was not impossible for Yu Yunxi to have thoughts about such a man.

At this ti, the Empress Dowager said commandingly, “Eldest Princess, follow back to the palace.”

With these words, a few people stepped forward to escort Yu Yunxi into the hall.

Seeing this, everyone’s minds beca active again.

‘Does the Empress Dowager know that the Eldest Princess and this monk have an affair? Is she trying to resolve this scandal secretly?’

Yu Yunxi looked at the Empress Dowager and smiled slightly as she said in an icy tone, “No need. If the Empress Dowager has anything to say, you can just say it here. There’s nothing to be ashad of.”

The Empress Dowager’s expression darkened, and she scolded sternly, “You did sothing disgusting, but you’re still unrepentant! Do you want everyone to know about it?”

With this, everyone was even more certain that Yu Yunxi had an affair with the monk.

‘The Eldest Princess is really crazy?’

‘Did she forget that she’s engaged to the Third Prince of Beixiao?’

‘She’s engaged, but she still dares to have an affair with a monk. She’s simply a disgrace to Xichu. Not only that, but she even blasphed the purity of Buddhism.’

Yu Yunxi laughed when she saw the Empress Dowager acting as though she was trying to help her. She said unhurriedly, “This morning, everyone misunderstood and gossipped about regarding the scriptures. At that ti, the Empress Dowager didn’t think of stopping those gossipy won for the sake of the imperial family. Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly change now? It seems as though she’s trying to protect now when she didn’t earlier…’ ‘Gossipy won?’

Many won’s faces turned red with anger when they heard those words. However, they could only suppress their anger. After all, the other party was the Eldest Princess.

‘Isn’t the Eldest Princess afraid of offending so many people?’

“Yu Yunxi, what on earth do you…” the Empress Dowager began to scold, looking angry.

However, Yu Yunxi directly interrupted the other party and said, “Empress Dowager, you forbade everyone from speaking earlier and wanted to follow you back. Your actions aren’t helping at all. You just want everyone to misunderstand that I really did sothing to bring sha to the imperial family.”

Now that the sche has been exposed, the Empress Dowager’s expression was extrely hideous.

At this ti, Du Wenxin quickly stepped forward and said in a complicated tone, “Yunxi, Aunt just wants to protect you.”

“There’s no need. It’s better to let the truth co out,” Yu Yunxi said bluntly.

Du Wenxin’s expression froze. Originally, she and the Empress Dowager planned to bring Yu Yunxi back to the palace and lock Yu Yunxi up for a few days. With that, Yu Yunxi would miss the opportunity to et the Third Prince of Beixiao, and everyone would think that Yu Yunxi really had an affair with the monk. Unexpectedly, Yu Yunxi did not act according to their plan.

‘Forget it. No matter how she tries, she won’t be able to do anything. She can’t even explain the matter with her handkerchief…’

anwhile, Empress Qin and the others watched from the side. They naturally knew that the Empress Dowager was trying to fra Yu Yunxi again, but they only remained silent. Who knew if they just wanted to watch the show, if they were afraid of the Empress Dowager, or if they were still weighing Yu Yunxi’s value to them?

Yu Yunxi walked up to the monk and asked indifferently, “What’s your na?”

The monk looked up at Yu Yunxi with a pair of extrely clear eyes. It was as though he could see through her heart in a glance. He put his hands together and replied, “Amitabha. Benefactor, my Buddhist na is Qing Yuan.”

At this ti, Yu Ting tugged on Yu Yunxi’s sleeve and whispered, “Eldest Princess, I don’t think he’s a thief. He didn’t steal your handkerchief.”

“Why do you say that?”

Yu Yunxi also knew the monk did not steal her handkerchief, but she wanted to know Yu Ting’s thoughts.

Yu Ting giggled and replied in a low voice, “Because he’s good-looking, and he has a pleasant voice. He doesn’t seem like a bad person.”

Yu Yunxi was rendered speechless for a mont. After a mont, she patted Yu Ting’s shoulder and gestured for Yu Ting to stand back. Then, she looked at

Qing Yuan again and asked, “Where did you get this handkerchief?”

Qing Yuan shook his head and replied, “I don’t know.”

“Stand up and talk. You Buddhists should only kneel to Buddha,” Yu Yunxi said as she shot a look at the guard behind her.

With that, the guard stepped forward and helped Qing Yuan.

After that, Qing Yuan quickly lowered his head and said, “Thank you,

Benefactor.’

At this mont, a few eunuchs stepped forward anxiously.

“Eldest Princess, the matter of the handkerchief has not been investigated. He can’t stand up. He…”

“Do I need to seek your opinion when I do things?” Yu Yunxi asked coldly.

The eunuchs fell silent imdiately.

At this mont, the Empress Dowager questioned coldly, “Where did you go last night?”

Without waiting for Qing Yuan to speak, the eunuch next to the Empress Dowager said, “Empress Dowager, this monk went to your ditation room last night to deliver blankets. However, you were not in the ditation room at that ti. You were with Consort Du.”

Imdiately after that, soone in the crowd said, “Yes, I rember it too! I went out for a breather last night, and I happened to see a young monk carrying blankets to the Empress Dowager’s ditation room. It has to be this monk!”

Another person said, “Last night, the Eldest Princess was in the Empress

Dowager’s ditation room, right?”

The atmosphere turned strange imdiately as people looked at Yu Yunxi and Qing Yuan with various expressions on their faces..
