Yang Wenguang Really Deserved to Die!

When Lady Li learned that the Third Princess had brought men to make trouble at the State Uncle's Residence and ordered her guards to search for Yang Wenguang's male favorites, a smile curled her lips. That damned man was finally getting his just deserts. With her arrogant, overbearing nature, the Third Princess could put him in his place.

Thinking of everything he had done to her over the years, Lady Li was suddenly seized by a desire for revenge. She would use the Third Princess to drag that damned man's reputation through the mud. With that thought, Lady Li immediately picked up a brush and paper and wrote a short note. Then she summoned her personal maid, Cui'er, and instructed her in a hushed voice, "Cui'er, find a way to slip this note to one of the Third Princess's guards without anyone noticing. Whatever you do, don't let anyone catch you."

"Yes, madam." Cui'er respectfully took the note, then turned and left.

As Lady Li watched Cui'er leave, a delighted smile spread across her face. She could hardly wait to see Yang Wenguang's dirty secrets exposed to the world.

Cui'er soon found the Third Princess's guards. They were searching everywhere for the male favorites Yang Wenguang kept.

Seeing them heading her way, Cui'er seized her chance, quickly dropped the note somewhere conspicuous, and darted away like a rabbit.

Soon, the guards reached the spot where the note lay. Their captain spotted it on the ground at once and picked it up to read. When he saw that Yang Wenguang had hidden his male favorites in a secret chamber in his bedroom, he led the guards toward it.

Several guards stood watch outside Yang Wenguang's bedroom. Seeing that the others intended to enter, they immediately stepped forward to block them. "The emperor's uncle has ordered that no one is to enter his bedroom."

The guard captain sneered at this. "We are searching Lord Yang's residence for male favorites on the Third Princess's orders. Get out of the way if you know what's good for you, or don't blame us for showing no mercy!"

The guards on watch paled. They exchanged glances, then their leader said gravely, "We are stationed here on His Lordship's orders. Please don't make things difficult for us. This is His Lordship's bedroom. There are no male favorites hidden inside. His Lordship is obsessive about cleanliness and dislikes anyone entering his bedroom."

His Lordship's male favorites were hidden in the secret chamber inside the bedroom. If they were discovered and his reputation suffered, the guards would be finished.

"No male favorites hidden inside?" The captain gave a scornful laugh. "If there aren't any, why station so many men here in broad daylight? All of you, move aside. Stop blocking us, or don't blame us for showing no mercy!"

Without waiting for the guards to react, he led his men forward to force their way inside, only to be stopped by Lord Yang's guards.

Seeing that they refused the offered wine and insisted on drinking the wine of punishment, the captain abandoned all courtesy. He waved his hand. "Attack!"

At his order, the guards behind him immediately charged forward and began fighting the men on watch.

The sounds of fighting and agonized screams instantly erupted outside the bedroom.

The Third Princess's guards were all highly skilled fighters, and before long, every one of Lord Yang's guards had been knocked to the ground.

The Third Princess's guards rushed into Lord Yang's bedroom and began searching everywhere.

Soon, they discovered the entrance to the secret chamber in the bedroom. They opened it and went inside.

Before long, the guards brought more than a dozen delicate-featured youths out of the secret chamber and escorted them to the main hall.

At the sight, Yang Wenguang's heart went cold. It was over! His male favorites had been discovered!

When Chu Yuzhu saw that Yang Wenguang actually kept more than a dozen handsome youths, her eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous gleam flashing through them.

Yang Wenguang really deserved to die. He had actually hidden so many handsome men in his residence!

"Yang Wenguang, how dare you! As the emperor's uncle, you actually kept so many male favorites in secret!"

Yang Wenguang: "..."

You crazy woman, how do you have the nerve to criticize me? You're a princess, yet you openly keep so many male lovers yourself!

Chu Yuzhu's words left Lord Yang looking utterly displeased. He wanted to argue, but remembering her willful nature, he knew she would probably answer every sentence of his with a dozen of her own. He could only say, "Third Princess, the Great Chu Dynasty has no law forbidding officials from keeping male favorites."

"The Great Chu Dynasty has no law permitting officials to keep male favorites, either. Besides, you might well have snatched these youths using some despicable means. After all, you're old and ugly. Just looking at you turns the stomach. Who would willingly stay with you? And you even dream of having Yan Xuanjing. You're nothing but a toad lusting after swan flesh!" Chu Yuzhu mocked Lord Yang, thoroughly disgusted with him.

Her words made Lord Yang flush scarlet, his blood surging until his face turned the color of pig liver. His body began trembling uncontrollably. Then, with a thud, he collapsed to the floor and began convulsing, his eyes rolling back as white foam spilled from his mouth.
