“I don’t know.”
Bei Yutang truly couldn’t imagine what had happened outside.
She would never have guessed that she was the cause of the commotion.
Seeing her leave, Gesang immediately called out, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going outside to see what’s going on.”
Bei Yutang put on her clothes and walked out with a lantern in hand.
Gesang immediately got out of bed and called out to her, “Yutang, wait for me. I’m going too.”
Bei Yutang stood at the doorway, waiting for her to get dressed. Together, they left the room. Many others followed suit, many opening their doors and looking at each other in bewilderment.
“What do you think happened?” Someone asked.
“I don’t know.”
“Such a big fuss? Could they be catching an assassin?” Someone speculated.
Clearly, her explanation echoed the thoughts of most.
At that moment, the gate to the Beauty Pavilion was flung open, and a group of guards stormed in, torches in hand and swords in hand. Their arrival lit the courtyard like daylight.
The beauties within the pavilion were frightened by the scene, and many took two steps back unconsciously.
The guard commander shouted, “I’ll give you one cup of tea. Come out of your rooms. Anyone who doesn’t will be executed on the spot.”
The beauties, who had been hiding inside, upon hearing the order, opened their doors and left their rooms. Many of them turned pale with fear at the scene.
After a cup of tea, the guard commander waved his hand, and the guards behind him entered the room and began searching. All the beauties huddled together, staring fearfully at the ferocious guards.
Soon, the search guards all returned.
“Commander, no one.”
“Commander, no one.”
…
As everyone returned, the guard commander gave them a cold look and said, “Take them all away.”
The beauties turned pale with fear as they were escorted out of the Beauty Pavilion one by one by the guards.
After leaving the pavilion, Bei Yutang noticed that the situation wasn’t limited to their quarters; it seemed to be the same throughout the entire harem, with all the beauties being escorted away by a group of guards.
What had happened?!
Bei Yutang had a bad feeling.
Gesang lowered her voice, “Yutang, do you think the King wants to kill us all?”
Her voice trembled slightly, clearly frightened by the scene before her.
“I don’t know. We’ll know when we get there.” Bei Yutang was unsure.
What exactly did Feng Chi want to do?
He wasn’t going to dig her out just because she kissed him, was he?!
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Before, they had always lived in peace, but only today something unexpected happened.
Wait…
Bei Yutang suddenly thought of those dishes. They had all been poisoned. It was clear that Feng Chi had the intention to kill her, but she hadn’t eaten them. Instead, she teased him and successfully raised his favorability to 33 points.
“Ming, Feng Chi’s favorability hasn’t dropped, right?” Bei Yutang wanted to confirm something.
[No.]
Hearing Ming’s reply, Bei Yutang felt relieved. If the favorability was still there, then her life shouldn’t be in danger.
Bei Yutang thought so in her heart, but reality taught her a vivid lesson.
