Chapter 237 Who plotted against whom?
However, Wu Tianqi was not going to tell Lin Jiaoyue about his plan.
Let that woman plan for him for her own glory and wealth.
He could see the Lin family's plot against him from the very beginning.
Although he was not favored by the emperor, he was looked down upon since childhood because his mother was a lowly palace maid.
But because of this, he, who was used to the fickleness of the world, could see through those who approached him at a glance. The Lin family and Lin Jiaoyue just wanted to use the excuse of helping him get to the top so that they could control him in the future.
Before this year, he would have happily feigned ignorance, waiting for the Lin family to eliminate the remaining princes, perhaps even Mu Rong, a first-rank military marquis. But things were different now. Princess Lin Jiaoyue had been deposed, and Lin Yunce was now a known cripple throughout the capital. Aside from holding onto the position of Minister of War, the Lin family was practically useless.
And the way they looked at me also changed from wanting to plot and control to being cautious.
Lin Jiaoyue, who used to be so high and mighty, was actually willing to offer her handkerchief to him for the position of a concubine... Such humility was very useful to him.
Since the other party was so thoughtful, he naturally would not refuse it.
After lunch, the subordinate quietly arrived again: "Your Highness, Miss Lin has already taken the people away from the banquet and is heading towards the private room."
Wu Tianqi stood up after hearing this and said, "Let's go. Don't keep us waiting."
The private rooms were where the nobles rested after being tired at the garden party, and as a prince, he naturally had his own private room.
As for being intruded upon by an admirer while he was resting in the exclusive private room... the responsibility certainly wasn't his.
Walking around the crowded garden and crossing the small bridge over the gurgling stream, Wu Tianqi entered the private room under the guidance of his subordinates.
"Step back and proceed according to the original plan." Wu Tianqi ordered.
"Yes." The subordinate signaled to the guard outside the door, and the two of them retreated together and hid in a corner not far away.
Perhaps the newly grown moss was too slippery, and the two of them stepped on it and slipped together.
In a panic, his heads collided, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then he fainted in the corner.
Wu Tianqi sat at the table, flipping through the books randomly placed in the room.
A small copper incense burner on the table was burning with fragrant incense, and the smoke was swirling...
It actually makes me feel a little drowsy. ...
Because the garden was full of young boys and girls, and after spending a whole morning together in the garden, many of them had become familiar with each other.
After lunch, we got together again.
Some brave boys and girls have already made an appointment to visit the park together.
The atmosphere at this time is more lively than in the morning.
In order to show their gentleness and courage in front of the girls, the young men from noble families would lead the girls to the rockery or the water's edge, hold their sleeves while they were climbing the mountain, and give them a hand when they were crossing the water.
It does not overstep the bounds, yet has a hint of ambiguity.
Until they arrived near the private room, they all stopped.
Miss He and Xu Yaoyao also came all the way around the water. They saw that the crowd near the private room was getting bigger and bigger, and they were chattering about something. "Why are there so many people? It looks like something happened?" Miss He asked in confusion.
A young man from a noble family nearby blinked and said, "Shh... Listen, the noise is getting louder and louder."
Everyone fell silent, and sure enough, amidst the rustling leaves in the private room, they heard the interweaving of two voices, a man and a woman.
The man's voice was low, as if he was roaring.
The woman was gentle, but also seemed to be in pain: "Woo woo..."
Most of the girls present were ignorant, but many of the disciples from aristocratic families had already been to brothels, and many of them already had concubines at home, so they naturally knew the reason for the sound.
Naturally, there were many people who fell in love with each other at the garden party.
But I've never seen anyone get things done on the spot...
The identity of the person who could have an exclusive private room at the garden party was obvious. Therefore, everyone was curious about what kind of beauty could make such a noble person so unable to control himself.
Miss He noticed the strange expressions on the faces of the men around her and immediately knew what had happened. She looked coldly in the direction of the private room.
After much thought, the person with the highest status at today's garden party should be the Fourth Prince Wu Tianqi!
Thinking of this, she immediately understood why Cheng Jintong left her behind as soon as she came in and went to hang out with Lin Jiaoyue.
Everyone who is familiar with Cheng Jintong knows how she feels about the Fourth Prince!
She stood on tiptoe and looked around, and sure enough, she didn't see Cheng Jintong and Lin Jiaoyue in the crowd.
Seeing her looking for someone, Xu Yaoyao took the initiative to ask, "Who are you looking for, Sister He?"
Cheng Jintong was worried that no one would talk to her, so when she heard her ask this, she said loudly, "I'm looking for the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. She came to the garden party with me, but I haven't seen her for half a day. There are a lot of people here, so I wanted to see if she is here." "Oh...?" Someone in the crowd uttered a meaningful syllable.
At this time, the man and woman in the private room were having a fierce battle, and a woman disappeared from the outer room. How could this not cause everyone to speculate?
What’s more... he is from the family of the Minister of Rites!
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Miss He stopped talking.
Didn’t Cheng Jintong rely on his family background to be superior?Today, she will be infamous!
No matter whether the person inside is her or not, it can help her relieve her anger.
"Who is looking for me?" A pretty female voice sounded.
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw Cheng Jintong walking towards them holding the hand of her maid.
Miss He was slightly stunned: The person inside was not her?
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Jintong came over and raised her eyebrows: "My skirt was just dirty, so I asked the girl to accompany me to change clothes. How come you all disappeared in the blink of an eye? What interesting thing is going on here that you are all gathered here?"
A familiar girl came forward and whispered to everyone what they had discovered.
Cheng Jintong was shocked when she heard this: "How could someone be here... doing such a vile thing?"
After saying that, she took a few steps forward and said, "I want to see who is so bold!"
By the time her maid reached out to stop them, it was already over. A few nosy young men from wealthy families separated her from the crowd.
The maidservant had no choice but to watch her mistress rush forward recklessly.
The door was pushed open with a bang.
A stream of decadent energy rushed out of the door.
Although it was an exclusive private room, it wasn't very large, and everyone could immediately see two figures entwined on the couch. The man's back was scratched with several red marks from his fingernails, and while the woman's face couldn't be seen clearly, her crossed legs were clearly slender and white.
"Wow!" the crowd exclaimed.
The man on the couch turned around, and his flushed face was not difficult to recognize: the Fourth Prince Wu Tianqi!
The sudden chill woke them both up instantly, and the woman quickly lifted her skirt to cover her upper body.
She barely managed to push the man out of her body, and her whole body seemed to be frozen instantly.
Because she heard someone shouting, "Miss Lin?"
