Chapter 385: A Huge Mistake (I)

On the eve of dawn, the sky was dark and the earth was gloomy, and the whole Prince Xian’s palace was immersed in sleep.

Suddenly, a panicked figure stumbled out, crawling and tumbling, running through the house and yard in a panic, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"

The sudden sound of knocking on the door woke Liu Xunyi, who was still drunk, from his dream. He sat up suddenly and subconsciously reached for the sword on the bedside with his right hand.

After being cautious for a moment, he realized that there was nothing unusual around him. Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel surprised. He looked around the dark room in confusion and muttered to himself: "Did I drink too much last night? I actually had auditory hallucinations..." While talking to himself, he relaxed his guard and stretched, wanting to go back to his dream again.

"Bang bang bang!"

However, before Liu Xunyi's head hit the pillow, the sound of knocking on the door rang out again, waking him up from his sleep. He pushed himself up with one hand, jumped out of bed, and rushed to the door in a flash, asking suspiciously, "Who?"

"Brother Liu, it's... it's me..." The voice outside the door seemed very nervous, and sounded a little stuttering, "Luo... Luo Hongxuan..."

"Sir?"

Liu Xunyi was startled and quickly opened the door. Before he could ask the reason, the scene in front of him made him pale with fear and he almost cried out in surprise.

Outside the door, Luo Hongxuan was terrified, his face was pale, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were messy, only one foot was wearing a shoe, the other foot was bare, he looked extremely miserable, almost crazy, completely different from the elegant young man he used to be.

What's even more strange is that Luo Hongxuan's face, neck, arms, and hands are all covered with tiny scars running in all directions.

"Young Master, what are you doing..." Facing the slovenly Luo Hongxuan, Liu Xunyi was stunned with surprise.

"First...let me in first..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Hongxuan had already rushed into Liu Xunyi's room. Under Liu Xunyi's incredulous gaze, he jumped onto the bed without saying anything, and wrapped the still warm quilt tightly around himself, shivering, his body shaking violently and uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xunyi, who didn't know what was going on, suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He looked out the door, then closed it tightly, walked to the bed with a suspicious look on his face, looked at Luo Hongxuan who was holding his head and shrinking his neck, with his shoulders hunched and his feet tired, with complicated eyes, and gently comforted him in the softest voice possible: "Don't worry, young master, there are only you and me here..."

Luo Hongxuan seemed not to hear Liu Xunyi's comfort. His frightened eyes were wandering around and he was still immersed in intense panic.

Liu Xunyi was extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to press him. She turned around, lit the candle, poured a cup of hot tea, and slowly brought it to Luo Hongxuan, and whispered softly, "Sir, don't panic. Why don't you tell me...what happened?"

Hearing this, Luo Hongxuan's body trembled violently. He raised his head tremblingly, and a layer of tears instantly covered his bloodshot eyes.

"This..." Liu Xunyi was extremely surprised and at a loss.

"Looking for clothes...I...I...I'm in trouble..." Luo Hongxuan hesitated for a long time before he finished the sentence.

"In trouble?" Liu Xunyi frowned slightly and asked, "What trouble did you get into, young master?"

"me……"

Luo Hongxuan wanted to say something but stopped himself. His lips kept trembling. He kept saying the word "I" over and over for a long time but was unable to say anything further.

"Sir!" Liu Xunyi's eyes straightened, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Luo Hongxuan's arm with both hands, and asked, "If you don't explain clearly, how can I help you?"

At this moment, Luo Hongxuan was like a frightened bird. He curled up into a ball and buried his head deeply in the quilt, as if he dared not look directly into Liu Xunyi's eyes.

Liu Xunyi frowned, slowly let go of the panicked Luo Hongxuan, and said softly: "Young Master, you came to me, didn't you want me to help you? From your appearance, it seems that you don't want to tell the Lord and Madam about this disaster. In this case, tell me slowly what happened? Why are you so panicked? Why are you so embarrassed? And what about the scars on your body?"

After saying that, Liu Xunyi gently placed his hand on the quilt, trying to calm Luo Hongxuan's nervousness.

Gradually, Luo Hongxuan finally showed his head and faced Liu Xunyi. To Liu Xunyi's surprise, Luo Hongxuan was already crying like a tearful man.

Liu Xunyi suppressed his anxiety and whispered, "Master, what happened?"

"Xun Yi, I..." As soon as Luo Hongxuan opened his mouth, his voice was immediately choked with sobs, which showed that he must be very sad inside.

"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

"I...I had sex with Miss Zhongli last night after drinking..."

"what?"

As soon as Luo Hongxuan finished speaking, Liu Xunyi's expression changed immediately, and an indescribable look of shock instantly filled his eyes.

"Master, you..." Liu Xunyi stammered in disbelief, "You defiled Miss Zhongli last night? How... is this possible?" "Absolutely true!" Luo Hongxuan burst into tears, sobbing, "I don't know what happened. I only remember that last night I... I was like crazy, thinking of doing something bad to Miss Zhongli, ignoring her pleas and struggles, and doing something cruel to her... Just now... Just now I came out of Miss Zhongli's room..."

"hiss!"

Luo Hongxuan's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Liu Xunyi's brain to go blank and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"The Miss Zhongli you mentioned..." Liu Xunyi asked anxiously, "Is she the daughter of the leader of the Kongtong Sect, Zhongli Wanying?"

Facing Liu Xunyi's nervous and uneasy gaze, although Luo Hongxuan didn't want to admit it, the mistake had already been made, and he could only nod heavily in shame and anger.

Liu Xunyi looked ashen, and looked up and down at the scars on Luo Hongxuan's body with a tangled look. He could guess without asking that these nail scratches must have been left by Zhongli Wanying when she fought back desperately last night.

Seeing Luo Hongxuan's battered and miserable appearance, it was not difficult for Liu Xunyi to imagine what kind of hell on earth Zhongli Wanying had experienced last night.
"Sir, you..."

Liu Xunyi was furious and wanted to reprimand him harshly, but when he saw Luo Hongxuan's distraught and "pitiful" look, he didn't know how to start for a moment.

"How could this happen?" Liu Xunyi's mind was buzzing, and he was in a state of confusion. He asked, "How could you have sex after drinking? How could you run to Miss Zhongli's room? From what I know about you, you are definitely not a despicable person. How could you be so lustful last night that you did such a beastly thing?"

"I don't know..." Luo Hongxuan was at a loss, shaking his head repeatedly, "I just woke up and found out that I had committed an unforgivable crime. I dare not stay there any longer, let alone tell my parents about it. I am too ashamed to face them. I... I was in a panic, and just now I came to you for help..."

At this point, Luo Hongxuan's eyes suddenly changed, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Liu Xunyi's arm, begging bitterly: "Xunyi, please help me! Please help me!"

"I..." Liu Xunyi was filled with grief and anger, with mixed feelings and indescribable complex feelings in his heart, "It's done, how can you let me help you?"

"I have no idea……"

Luo Hongxuan is usually eloquent and calm, but he is still a "young master" who has never experienced the world. In the past, he had Luo Tianjin and Ling Xiaoxiao as his backers, and he was able to solve some trivial matters, but once he encountered a matter of life and death, he would still be involuntarily confused and lose his mind.

At this moment, Luo Hongxuan was so frightened that his soul had left his body. He spoke incoherently: "I defiled someone's daughter. Sect Leader Zhongli and Kongtong Sect will never let me go... They will definitely kill me... They will! Right now, there are many guests in the mansion. If this scandal is made public... Not only will I be killed, but the reputation of the Xianwang Mansion will also be ruined. And my father... will definitely not let me off easily... It's over! It's over! The reputation of the Northern Xianwang will be ruined in my hands today..."

Looking at the crazy Luo Hongxuan, Liu Xunyi was angry and annoyed, but he could do nothing. He grabbed Luo Hongxuan's wrist and said in a serious tone: "Sir, Miss Zhongli, how is she now?"

"I don't know..." Luo Hongxuan's head kept shaking like a rattle, "When I came out...she was still not awake..."

When Zhongli Wanying was mentioned, Luo Hongxuan could not help but recall the scenes of last night. His heart was torn as if by a knife, and his internal organs were burning. He punched himself all over the head and face, wishing that he could cut himself into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"No!" Liu Xunyi frowned and said hesitantly, "Miss Zhongli's room is right next to Master Zhongli, and there are other disciples of Kongtong Sect living in the same courtyard. You must have made a lot of noise last night, so why didn't you alert others? Even if the Kongtong disciples were drunk, Master Zhongli is an expert among experts, and he can hear everything. He and Madam Zhuang live next door, so how could he turn a blind eye?"

"I don't know..." Luo Hongxuan was confused and didn't know anything. He just kept muttering, "When I left just now, the courtyard was completely silent, without a single movement..."

"That's weird!"

"Oh, right! There's a person lying outside Miss Zhongli's door..." Luo Hongxuan added hurriedly, as if waking up from a dream, "I almost tripped over this person when I was leaving... It seems to be Zhou Mu, a disciple of Kongtong Sect..."

"Zhou Mu?" Liu Xunyi asked in astonishment, "Is he alive or dead?"

"I don't know..." Luo Hongxuan recalled painfully, "At that time, I just wanted to leave as soon as possible. I didn't care about his life or death... But I didn't see any blood, he should have just fainted..."

"What a weird thing!" Liu Xunyi crossed his arms, thinking over and over everything Luo Hongxuan said, and asked again, "Do you remember how you entered Miss Zhongli's room?"

"I..." Under Liu Xunyi's guidance, Luo Hongxuan gradually regained some rationality from his panic. After thinking hard for a while, he shook his head in pain.

"Where did you go last night?"

"After the banquet last night, I was invited to the East Courtyard to look for..." At this point, Luo Hongxuan's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the frowning Liu Xunyi with horror, and said word by word, "The last person I saw last night was... Brother Di."

"Black fan?"

"That's right." Luo Hongxuan tried hard to recall, "Last night, Brother Di and I drank and talked in the pavilion in the east courtyard until we were drunk..."

"and after?"

"Later, I was drunk and unconscious..." Luo Hongxuan suppressed the chaos and pain in his mind and tried hard to recall everything that happened last night. "After that... I woke up in a daze from a burst of unbearable heat. At that time, I... was already lying on Miss Zhongli's embroidered bed..."
