Mu Xiyue found where the old eunuch was, rushed at him, pretending to be in panic and grabbed him!

The old eunuch was quite taken aback, he asked, “What made you so flurried? What happened?” Mu Xiyue stammered as if she were too shaken to talk, “The deserted palace was haunted! Ghosts are there!”

The old eunuch replied, trying to calm her down, “Oh, it’s okay. Ghosts don’t come after you. What are you scared of?”

Having working in the imperial palace for years, the old eunuch had heard quite a lot of ghost stories. It didn’t scare him at all. Instead, he consoled Mu Xiyue.

Failing to scare the old eunuch, Mu Xiyue had to made up scarier stories. She cried, “I... I really saw a ghost! She’s in a white dress, face covered with disheveled hair, blood on her dress and mouth. She was weeping sadly and floating around the deserted palace! And she killed a cat!”

Her scary words shocked the old eunuch and he began to panic. Mu Xiyue continued, “I heard more than the woman’s cry! And a man was crying, too! Such utter dreary cries freaked me out!”

As she described, she gripped the old tightly, with much exaggerated gestures.

The old eunuch was confused. Since he came to work many years ago, he had experienced almost everything. A lot of people died in the palace. Especially in the deserted palace where many women were abandoned, whether they had done something wrong or not. Most of them died in that place, and that wasn’t strange if it was really haunted. But even though, there should only be female ghosts. “What was wrong with the man’s crying?” The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt. And he sent a young eunuch to take a look.

At the command, the young eunuch sneaked to the deserted palace. Good heavens! What he saw really astonished him! Prince Yichen was having sex with the imperial concubine in bed!

At a loss what to do, the young eunuch, rushed back and reported to the old eunuch, which gave the latter a good scare, too!

The old eunuch wondered if he should tell the emperor about it.

“If I tell His Majesty, His Majesty will be enraged and certainly punish Prince Yichen. Then Prince Yichen will get me into trouble!” he thought.

Noticing the hesitant look on his face, Mu Xiyue decided to push him. She said, “What makes you hesitate? If His Majesty knows it, you’ll be killed for hiding it! If Prince Yichen is punished, he’ll only try to save himself rather than take revenge on you! Think carefully about it!”

Her words convinced the old eunuch. After thinking it over, he was determined to tell the emperor.

Long Jingsong, who was reviewing the memorials to the throne, was shocked. He thought the old eunuch was lying.

“NONSENSE!” he thumped the desk angrily.

The old eunuch knelt down immediately and explained in a flurry, “Your Majesty, I don’t dare to lie! My man saw them with his own eyes! I rush to tell you about it. After all these years I worked for you, Your Majesty, please trust me!”

Long Jingsong was convinced, after all, lying to him or slandering a prince was capital crime.

“But Yichen has been grounded. Why is he hooking up my concubine in the deserted palace?”

The old eunuch was nervous. To make the emperor trust him, he must take the emperor to check the deserted palace. Everything would be clear, then.

He begged, “Your Majesty! If you don’t believe me, why don’t you go to the deserted palace with me? You’ll see if I was lying.”

Long Jingsong was dubious, and he thought he should go and confirm.

Hidden in an obscure corner, Mu Xiyue heard them clearly. Something was going to happen. “I must take Long Yinfeng there, so that both of us will take revenge!” she thought.

She rushed to find Long Yinfeng and wheeled him away immediately. On the way, she explained, “Come with me. There’s great fun to see!”

Before Long Yinfeng realized what was happening, he went with Mu Xiyue. During the days spent with Mu Xiyue, he knew she was an interesting girl. When she said there was great fun, he quite expected that.

Following the old eunuch, Long Jingsong arrived at the deserted palace! The moment he pushed the door open, he saw his son Long Yichen having sex with his concubine!

He bristled with anger, pulled Long Yichen up, slapped him hard and yelled fiercely, “Son of bitch! What do you think you are doing?”

Long Yichen was turned on and totally lost his head! He smirked at his father and replied, “Don’t try to stop me! I’m having fun!”

Such an erotic son made Long Jingsong tremble with anger! He slapped Long Yichen again and again, then punched and kicked him. However, seemed that Long Yichen wasn’t going to sober up.

The old eunuch asked some servants to hold Long Jingsong back, and he said, “Your Majesty, don’t get angry! I don’t think Prince Yichen thinks clearly now. He doesn’t understand whatever you want to ask. Why don’t we wait until he wakes up? Calm down, Your Majesty.”

Then he asked another eunuch to bring a cup of hot tea to Long Jingsong. The latter, unexpectedly, took the cup and smashed it on the ground!

Everyone else was scared! The old eunuch immediately sent one of his subordinates to tell the empress about it!

The subordinate rushed all the way, stumbling into the empress’s palace. He gasped for breath and said, “Your Majesty... Your Majesty, doomed... Prince Yichen was having sex with His Majesty’s concubine and His Majesty caught them in the act!”

“What the hell are you talking about?” the empress asked in total confusion.

The subordinate replied hurriedly, “I’m telling the truth, Your Majesty! Prince Yichen is losing his mind and he wants nothing, but coitus! His Majesty is furious! Go and have a look!”

“Damn it!” yelled the empress, jumping out of her throne. “Bastard! Who does he think he is doing?”

She knew things got a little big and the result could be serious, though she had no idea what was exactly going on. She made her way hastily to the deserted palace!
