Chapter 399: The house collapsed, Mo Yinhe finds the drama hitting his own home!2
Everyone who followed Quan Yong into the room saw that, apart from Geshu Chen lying on the floor, there were three other people.
They were Ye Siyuan, Si Mingjing, and Crown Prince Lisao.
Among them, Ye Siyuan lay drowsy on the sofa, her clothing neat and tidy, without the slightest disarray, and a Silver Needle was inserted in her arm.
Si Mingjing sat next to the sofa, intently administering needle therapy to Ye Siyuan.
Crown Prince Lisao stood majestically beside the sofa, his left hand cradling his right elbow and his right hand propped under his chin, watching Si Mingjing administer the needles to Ye Siyuan with a slightly furrowed brow.
Seeing this scene, Quan Yong was completely dumbstruck!
It was nothing like what he had imagined!
"Why are you here?"
Quan Yong’s voice grew heavy, unable to hide the irritation in his tone.
Si Mingjing turned her head slightly, looking coldly at Quan Yong.
She did not know Quan Yong, but his overly surprised expression was drastically different from the expressions of the other onlookers!
Others, upon seeing the scene in the changing room, were surprised, relieved, or simply enjoying the drama as spectators.
But Quan Yong’s face burned with the rage of a plan gone awry, even though he tried to conceal it.
Ye Shen also stormed in furiously. Upon seeing this scene, he was greatly relieved.
He glared at Crown Prince Lisao and asked Si Mingjing, "Sister-in-law, Crown Prince Lisao didn’t do anything to my sister, did he?"
Si Mingjing glared at Ye Shen.
After asking, Ye Shen also felt that his question was rather inappropriate.
Even if something had happened, it wasn’t right to ask in front of everyone—didn’t his sister’s reputation matter? The current scene is the best outcome, as it appears nothing happened. With Sister-in-law present, my second sister’s reputation is preserved.
Ye Shen quickly corrected himself, "Sister-in-law, I mean, what happened to my sister?"
Si Mingjing withdrew her gaze and narrated smoothly, "Just now, Crown Prince Lisao wanted to go to the restroom and didn’t know the way. I guided him, and as we passed by the changing room, we heard Si Yuan screaming. In our rush, Crown Prince Lisao and I barged in and found this man on the floor attempting to take liberties with Si Yuan.
"Fortunately, we arrived in time. Crown Prince Lisao knocked him unconscious, and when I took her pulse, I found that Si Yuan had been drugged. I am currently administering needle therapy to detoxify her.
"Why have all of you come? Is it because you heard this man wanted to take liberties with Si Yuan and wanted to rescue her?
"Don’t worry, he didn’t get a chance to do anything to Si Yuan before Crown Prince Lisao knocked him out!"
She enunciated each word clearly, speaking neither hurriedly nor slowly, but clarified the entire sequence of events.
She also emphasized that Si Yuan had not been violated but had only been drugged, aiming to preserve her dignity.
"Didn’t the waitress say that it was Crown Prince Lisao who attempted to violate the Third Princess and Geshu Chen who came in to rescue her? How is that different from what Miss Si says?"
The guests who entered voiced their doubts one after another.
Si Mingjing narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly. "Are you suggesting that I am lying?"
The questioning guest immediately fell silent.
Ye Shen angrily declared, "My sister-in-law would definitely not lie; it must be the waitress who’s lying! Where is she? Bring her to me!"
At Ye Shen’s words, Mo Yinhe, who had arrived a bit late, finally showed a relieved expression.
This young man isn’t too foolish after all; he knew which side to take!
Mo Yinhe moved past the crowd and approached. Seeing his sister’s cheeks unnaturally flushed, he knew she had been drugged.
With Mingjing administering needles to Si Yuan, Mo Yinhe felt very reassured.
Ye Xinguang, especially heartbroken for his daughter, also approached. "Mingjing, what drug was used on Si Yuan?"
Si Mingjing replied, "It was Dragon Enchantment Fragrance. Crown Prince Lisao told me that this kind of incense is exclusive to the Royal Palace of Mu Continent. Just a while ago, the palace suffered a theft, and a bottle of Dragon Enchantment Fragrance was lost. To think that it has appeared in the Royal Palace of Atlantis... it seems the person who drugged her came prepared."
By saying this, Si Mingjing was clearly hinting that someone wanted to frame Si Lisao!
Everyone reacted, realizing it was the waitress who had lied, framing Si Lisao!
After the waitress was dragged in, she was completely shocked and frantically explained, "It’s not like that! I clearly saw the Third Princess and Si Lisao embracing! At that time, the Third Princess was drugged..."
"How do you know the Third Princess was drugged?" Si Mingjing glared at the waitress. "You saw her and Si Lisao embracing and concluded that she was drugged?"
The waitress’s voice halted, words caught in her throat.
Everyone knew Ye Siyuan had been drugged because Si Mingjing had said so. However, it was odd that the waitress knew Ye Siyuan was drugged when she ran to the banquet hall yelling for help. This was abnormal, as if she had known all along. She must have been part of the conspiracy to frame Si Lisao!
"Well, well!" Ye Shen rolled up his sleeves. "It seems you are also implicated in my sister being drugged. Speak! Who instructed you to do this?"
"No, no, no..."
The waitress’s mind buzzed; she didn’t know how to deal with the situation and could only clumsily deny everything.
Si Mingjing pulled out a pill from her pocket and handed it to Ye Shen. "If she refuses to confess, make her swallow this pill."
It was a white pill.
Ye Shen asked, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"
"Arsenic."
It was nothing more than a throat-soothing lozenge, but Si Mingjing claimed it was arsenic.
The waitress turned pale, desperately kowtowing to Ye Shen. "Third Prince, I am telling the truth, I swear it’s the truth!"
"It seems you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin!" Ye Shen roared, "Hold her down and pry open her mouth."
As two guards restrained the waitress and pried open her mouth, Ye Shen added, "I’ll give you one last chance. If you don’t talk, you’ll have to swallow this arsenic!"
Saying so, Ye Shen held the white pill to the waitress’s lips.
With life and death hanging in the balance, the waitress dared not conceal anything anymore. If I keep hiding the truth, I’ll die!
Crying, she confessed, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk! It was Major Quan Yong. Major Quan Yong gave me the Dragon Enchantment Fragrance and told me to put it in the Third Princess’s bowl of soup. He also instructed me to cry for help at the banquet hall. Everything was done under Major Quan Yong’s orders! Please spare me, Third Prince, please spare me!"
At that revelation, all eyes fell on Quan Yong.
Quan Yong was the youngest major in Atlantis!
No one expected it to be him! No wonder he led the charge earlier; this is simply too vicious!
"Nonsense!" Quan Yong scoffed. "You lying waitress, who paid you to frame me with this false charge?"
Worried that others might not believe him, Quan Yong said sternly, "Why would I do such a thing? I have no grievance with Crown Prince Lisao!"
"Yes, we bear no grudges," Si Lisao, who had remained silent until now, lifted his bloodthirsty, cold eyes to Quan Yong and sneered. "Why would you want to frame me, deliberately causing hostility between Mu Continent and Atlantis? Are you wishing for war to break out between the two countries? Major Quan, are you seeking military power and merit through warfare?"
Si Lisao’s words were vicious, elevating the situation to a conflict between nations!
Without exposing Quan Yong’s jealousy as a rival in love, he led everyone to believe Quan Yong wanted military power and merit, even at the risk of inciting a war between the two countries!
Mo Yinhe’s expression turned grave.
As wise as he was, he quickly deduced the entire sequence of events. Quan Yong was fond of Si Yuan, and it was Quan Yong who had attempted to assassinate Si Lisao!
I even called Mingjing last night, teasing that Lisao had gained a rival in love, never expecting the drama to involve my own sister!
