Lust and laughter filled the palace, but it was quiet and desolate outside.
Long before the banquet began, Li Chengqian had chased away all the eunuchs, maids, and guards in the palace. Therefore, when Ye Fan was taking a walk in the rockery garden outside the palace, there was no one outside the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Of course, Li Shiming's spies were hidden in the shadows, closely watching the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the Eastern Palace's every move.
The Eastern Palace was actually a miniature version of the Imperial Palace. Other than the format and specifications that could not be compared to the Imperial Palace, the layout, landscape location, and the division of the harem were actually exactly the same as the Imperial Palace.
Even the flower fields in the back garden of the palace were mostly taken care of by Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun. Occasionally, when they were tired, Empress Zhangsun would wipe Li Shimin's sweat, and Li Shimin would pour a cup of tea for Empress Zhangsun…These two most powerful people of the Great Tang had spread their affection all over the Great Tang.
Ye Fan was quite satisfied with the landscape gardens in the Eastern Palace. Compared to the Eastern Palace, his Phoenix Cry Court was indeed a little small, and the garden and rockery in the courtyard were not as beautiful and unique as the Eastern Palace.
Suddenly, a little squirrel ran out of the rockery and skipped towards a place. Ye Fan was playful and followed the little squirrel to a very remote corner, but the little squirrel had already run away.
"Where did it go?"
Ye Fan looked around and found that this place was a little chilly. He looked around but did not see the little squirrel. Ye Fan turned around and prepared to leave.
A pale and weak hand slowly crawled out from the gap in the corner of the wall and grabbed Ye Fan's foot tightly.
" Save me, please, save us…"
A weak voice came through the crack.
"Who are you?"
The gap was too dark. Even if there was sunlight, it was still unable to pierce through. Ye Fan could only see a faint figure.
The weak voice was still ringing. It was a woman's voice.
"Give me a reason…"
Ye Fan's mind turned quickly. This might be a private matter that Crown Prince Li Chengqian did not want to be discovered by others. It was even more likely that Crown Prince Li Chengqian had set a trap for him.
"Alright, step back."
Hearing that woman's words, Ye Fan already understood that this was definitely where Crown Prince Li Chengqian hid his filth.
"Take a few more steps back to avoid being injured. You and those girls should cover your eyes first. When the sun comes in later, it might hurt your eyes.”
With the help of the sunlight, he walked into the dark prison and saw that there were nearly 30 women with pale faces lying in the dark prison with their eyes covered. Some of them were wearing the clothes of dancers or concubines, while others were naked.
These women were all weak and emaciated. When they saw Ye Fan walk in, they all slowly retreated one by one. Their frightened and uneasy expressions made Ye Fan's heart ache.
The girl who asked Ye Fan for help whispered to the other scared girls. Then, she slowly stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch Ye Fan.
"I'm here."
Ye Fan took her hand and then took off his robe and draped it over her.
Ye Fan was a little speechless. Silly girl, do you know that this is the Eastern Palace, outside the Crown Prince Li Chengqian's bedroom?
"Yes, report to the authorities. Young Master, that great villain ravaged us in every possible way and captured us only to satisfy his beastly desires. When I was captured, there were more than sixty sisters here…"
" After that, some of the sisters died, some went crazy, and a few of them even committed suicide…"
"Qingyao, the daughter of the previous minister, was strangled to death by him. Bi 'er, a farmer's daughter like me, was hung in the air by him and played to death…"
"Young master, since you are willing to save us out of kindness, please bring us to the authorities to bring this evil person to justice. We will take revenge for our dead sisters, for me and these miserable sisters who are still alive!”
As this girl spoke, she knelt in Ye Fan's direction. Those terrified women also knelt on the ground, crying and kowtowing to Ye Fan.
"Li Chengqian, I originally thought that you were just a silkpants Crown Prince who was at most happy to have fun. I didn't expect you to do such a beastly thing.”
Ye Fan was very furious, but his thoughts were extremely clear.
If he were to fall out with Li Chengqian right now, these women's lives would probably be buried by him.
The most important thing now was to safely send these women out of the palace before making any plans.
He carefully tapped on it. There were thirty-two pitiful women in the dungeon. Fortunately, although these women were very weak, they could still walk.
After such a long time, these women gradually adapted to the sunlight and saw their savior, who was only thirteen years old.
"Don't panic. Wait for me here. I'll be right back.”
Ye Fan carefully reminded them. Seeing that these women nodded repeatedly, he used the Lingbo Subtle Steps movement technique to find more than 30 sets of clothes and headdress worn by the palace maids from the Crown Prince's palace. Then, he immediately returned to the dungeon.
"Xiaoqian, come here."
Ye Fan called out to Xiao Qian and then whispered a few words to her.
" What?!"
Xiao Qian cried out in surprise and quickly covered her mouth in fear.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Qian. I, Ye Fan, will definitely help you get justice. But the most important thing now is to bring you out of here safely, so you have to tell these poor girls what to do.”
"Good!"
Xiao Qian replied uneasily. She looked at the bright sunlight and beautiful scenery outside and took a deep breath. She made up her mind and walked towards the girls with determination.
