Li Jung Li opened his eyes. He felt like he had fallen into a deep sleep. Bits and pieces of memories entered his mind. The things he did in the past few months until the most recent one, bit by bit, he was able to recall it like he was watching a play.

Li Jung Li's face turned purple and could not help but puke.

He…. he forcefully raped Baili Chen a couple of times!

Sweat started forming in Li Jung Li's body. Unable to hold back, he puked once again.

'What… what have I done?'

Li Jung Li pulled his hair as he screamed internally. The last thing he remembered, he, Mo Qing Feng, Wei Zhang Ki and Rui Fang Li saw Baili Chen in a brothel and had decided to drink together. All of them got drunk. Mo Qing Feng and Wei Zhang Ki slept soundly while Rui Fang Li was having sex with a prostitute. It was that time that he felt like his body had an uncontrollable desire and wanted to vent it out with a woman. But as he was about to pull a drunken prostitute to cater her needs, noticed Baili Chen beside him. He felt as if he was possessed by something and without thinking clearly, he pressed Baili Chen below him.

After that happened, he did not see Baili Chen in two days and the desire within his body grew bigger until he could no longer control himself and visited Baili Chen the next evening. Since then, his evening visitation continued for a long time and the recent one was when he forcefully took Baili Chen's behind without giving him preparation.

Recalling how Baili Chen kept on screaming, begging for mercy, Li Jung Li could not help but be ashamed. Another wave of nausea came, urging him to puke.

Li Jung Li felt tired and had not left his own room for two days. Thus, he was not aware that the entire capital had long knew about Baili Chen's situation.

"Y-Young Master!! Not good!! Not good!! Someone is here to arrest you!!"

--------

"Is what you said true?" XuanFei asked LuLu.

"What this servant has said were all true, Young Miss! This servant heard that the man who tortured and killed those men was none other than the Young Master of Li family, Li Jung Li!! According to what this servant has heard, Duke Baili's younger brother, Baili Chen was found inside his own room bathed with blood. The servants saw him naked while his body was full of bruises and his butt was dripping with blood. He has been molested!! This servant was not sure what happened next but Young Master Li was suddenly arrested and was pointed out as the man in the rumor."

Hearing LuLu's animated story, XuanFei's eyes darkened. She subconsciously caressed her protruding abdomen tenderly. She waved her hand, indicating that she no longer wanted to hear any news from the outside. Although the gossips and rumors outside were very entertaining, as long as it was not related to her or to Xu Ji An, XuanFei did not care.

XuanFei stood up from sitting.

"I want to return to bed and rest. LuLu, help me."

LuLu obediently held XuanFei's hand as she carefully helped her walk toward the inner room.

After lying on the bed, XuanFei ordered LuLu to call Ji Xue.

"Did you call me, Young Miss?" Ji Xue arrived in a few moments and curtsied.

XuanFei turned her head and asked, "How's that bitch XuanRong? Is she plotting something?"

"Reporting to Young Miss, Da XiaoJie's side lacks movement. She must have been busy with taking care of QinWang Fu. Few days ago, His Highness Xu Fei Yi's illness once again relapsed and according to the imperial physician who checked him, if His Highness will not be able to wake up, he will not survive."

XuanFei fell silent.

"But there was no funeral. I guess that foolish prince survived, am I right?"

Ji Xue nodded.

"What Young Miss said is correct. But according to our informant, His Highness had to be bed ridden for a couple of months and was not allowed to leave the Fu, thus, Da XiaoJie would be extremely busy in the upcoming days to come."

XuanFei nodded.

'Good! Serves you right! Hah! Marrying a dying fool, how pitiful ah, JieJie.'

Since XuanRong was not a threat for now, XuanFei had threw her at the back of her mind.

"Did you go to the Crown Prince's palace?"

Hearing XuanFei's question, Ji Xue nodded.

"Young Miss, according to the servant serving inside the Crown Prince's palace, the Crown Prince would sleep with his concubines every night. Among all the concubines, it was Consort Ding who was favored the most."

Hearing Ji Xue's report, XuanFei's hand clenched tightly. Her eyes were filled with hatred.

'Consort Ding!'

Consort Ding was the second branch of Ding family's Di daughter. Although her father was only a third ranking official, her paternal uncle was the Right Prime Minister of the country, Prime Minister Ding. Prime Minister Ding had no daughter thus, he used his own niece as a leverage in order to grab the Crown Prince's thigh. Luckily, Consort Ding's standing as a daughter of a third ranking official ended her chance to be the Crown Princess and could only settle for the title of a Liang Di[1].

"Humpf! That bitch! She must be happy thinking that she would bore His Highness' child soon. HAHAHAH!! How pitiful! The first royal grandson will be my child."

XuanFei laughed as she happily caressed her abdomen.

"Young Miss…" Ji Xue hesitated.

XuanFei stopped laughing.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Young Miss… are you really sure about your plan?"

XuanFei's eyes showed malice as she stared at Ji Xue.

"No one has the right to bear His Highness child but me! Go and make preparations!! Let us see if that bitch-Ding and those other sluts could still flaunt themselves like a proud peacock once I enter the Crown Prince palace!"

Ji Xue curtsied and turned her head, thus, XuanFei did not see the small smirk on her face.
