Tang Zi heard a loud and shrill scream just as she reached the door of the princess’s manor. It made her so nervous that her legs shook and she nearly fell down.
She did not wait any longer. She immediately rushed into the princess’s manor. She saw that Qing Ling was dressed shabbily from afar and was running away from the room with tears in her eyes.
Tang Zi’s face darkened. She ran into the room quickly. She saw that Ling Yun was sitting on the floor with a shocked expression. Beside her was Liu Li, who was hugging her own chest tightly.
“What happened?”
Tang Zi was so shocked that she did not know what had happened.
Feng Ruqing came swiftly to stand in front of Tang Zi when Tang Zi was still recovering her senses.
Feng Ruqing was standing there like a large mountain, and the other people had difficulty breathing.
“Beautiful…” Feng Ruqing raised her hand to touch Tang Zi’s chin. “Can you sleep with me tonight?”
Tang Zi’s face darkened even more. ‘Is the princess… drunk?’
“Tang Zi, what should we do now?” Ling Yun turned and looked at Tang Zi with a helpless face. “I had just sent the princess back, and the princess soon woke up. I thought that she would be sober by now. But, I didn’t know that she’s still drunk and she even humiliated two palace maids.”
Thinking of how Qing Li had run away from the room crying, and looking at how Liu Li was hugging herself like that, Tang Zi walked forward and slapped Feng Ruqing hard on the back of her neck.
Ling Yun was shocked. ‘That’s the princess! How could Tang Zi harm the princess?’
She was just there looking at how Feng Ruqing humiliated the two palace maids without being brave enough to interfere.
“What’s more important now is to stop the princess from doing any more harm.” Tang Zi hold up the princess’s body. Her facial expression was even worse now. “Never let the princess drink any more wine from now on. Not even a single drop. Moreover, come and help me. The princess is too heavy.”
“Okay.”
Ling Yun went forward and helped Tang Zi to hold Feng Ruqing’s body up. They carefully put her on her bed.
Tang Zi wiped at her own sweat. She turned and looked at Liu Li. “It’ll be fine when she wakes up. Don’t ever mention this incident to a soul.”
Luckily, the princess had only humiliated two palace maids. Her reputation would be affected if she had humiliated men.
Indeed, Feng Ruqing could drink no more wine from now on.
Liu Li nodded in tears. ‘The reputation of the princess was protected. But, what about her reputation and Qing Ling’s reputation?’
The time was late. Tang Zi gave a few orders before leaving the princess’s manor with Ling Yun.

The moon was high up in the sky.
The wind was blowing softly. The bed linen was blown, and it danced softly in the air.
The girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed woke up and opened her eyes slowly.
She rubbed her temples, and there was confusion in her eyes.
“Am I in the princess’s manor?”
Feng Ruqing still remembered that she wanted to drink wine with the people from the Iron-Blooded Troop. But, she did not know that she would faint after drinking just a bowl of wine even when that wine was mixed with water.
She was now in the princess’s manor after she woke up.
Her face darkened.
“Now, I’m thoroughly embarrassed. I didn’t know that my body cannot endure the effect of wine. I fainted just after a bowl of wine. That’s just too embarrassing! How can I meet people from the Iron-Blooded Troop in future?”
‘Fine. It’s just that I’m unable to drink wine. That’s not a big deal.’
She rubbed her temples again and sat up. She then frowned and shouted, “Qing Ling! Liu Li!”
A deep silence.
“Where on earth are these two girls? They didn’t even prepare a bowl of sobering soup for me.”
