Zhe Furong: After widowhood and rebirth, she was pampered by treacherous ministers

After Gu Mo finished speaking, other officials in the court also started discussing in low voices, and everyone is now quite critical of the prince.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the crown prince has indeed...had severely obliterated the image of the royal family in the hearts of the people. Be careful, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that even His Royal Highness is acting like this, so the other princes are as extravagant as His Royal Highness. Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter as soon as possible, so that the palace and the people can be peaceful."

Hearing what the officials said to each other, the emperor looked at the prince's appearance and felt a pain in his heart: "Prince, do you know how the people outside are talking about you now? You said yesterday that I would give you a chance, but the result how?"

"Father! This son is just confused for a while! This son really shouldn't beat and scold the female relatives at home. This son only behaves like this because he is drunk, not all the time."

The prince decided to avoid the serious ones and take the light ones, first to admit the crimes that are easier to bring, and to divert the emperor's attention first.

"The minister has inquired about it. His Royal Highness does often go to the brothel and has an illegitimate child in the brothel."

illegitimate child?Hearing what Gu Mo said, the prince repeatedly recalled the nonsense he did in his mind, but he really had no impression of the illegitimate child. Although he was messing around outside, he had a high position, and he was really cautious when it came to making love between men and women. Even afterward, he will arrange for his servants to inspect the woman who served him, very carefully, and it is impossible to make mistakes.

"An illegitimate child? Are you crazy? You are messing around with the royal blood!" The emperor blushed with anger, and the current prince was simply unreasonable.

"Father, how can there be an illegitimate child? The minister really didn't provoke such a thing, please check it out! It's all the treacherous minister Gu Mo! Don't listen to him, he has already colluded with the fifth younger brother to covet the prince You have framed me repeatedly in the court, Father, please be sure to check it out!" The prince kept kowtowing.

Gu Mo continued to secretly say: "I have personal evidence here, and the brothel girl ran to my house yesterday to ask for help. I really couldn't see His Royal Highness being so cruel, so I agreed to her."

"Your Majesty, I have physical evidence here."

When the emperor saw the jade pendant inherited from the fifth prince, he recognized that it was indeed the jade pendant that the prince usually wears, and that the emperor ordered someone to make it out of suet white jade not long after the prince was born.

Because the fifth prince and Gu Mo caught several officials for corruption last time, the emperor began to change his view of the fifth prince and trust him a little more.Now that the physical evidence is here, he has no doubt that Gu Mo and the fifth prince are the witnesses of him.

What's more, for matters related to the blood of the royal family, arguing in the court will even lose the face of the royal family. The emperor doesn't want to argue here at all, he just wants to solve the matter quickly.Gu Mo just assured the fifth prince that the emperor would act like this, even if it wasn't true, the emperor could only blame the prince at this time.

"Today, you kneel in the Imperial Study Room for me, and the East Palace is confined for three days, so you should reflect on it and rectify it!"

The emperor left angrily, and the prince dared not say another word.

He knelt down in the imperial study room for a whole day and night without giving him food.The emperor was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study, and the prince had been kneeling outside.During the period, the empress came to deliver some snacks to the emperor, but both inside and outside the words told the emperor to let the prince go, which made the emperor even more depressed.

With more exhaustion and fatigue, the prince's resentment towards the fifth prince and Gu Mo increased.

At sunset, unexpectedly, it began to rain.The prince thought that the emperor would soften his heart and asked him to hide from the rain under the eaves.When he saw the empress come out, he grinned at the corners of his mouth, but in exchange for a word from the queen's personal maid: "His Royal Highness, the Empress' pleading with the emperor was unsuccessful, and your majesty asked your highness...to kneel carefully so that you can learn the lesson." .”

The corner of his mouth froze, the prince's resentment towards the fifth prince and Gu Mo reached its peak.Days passed like years, and the prince finally survived until the second day, and the servants hurried forward to support the prince.The prince stood up with trembling feet, looking very embarrassed, his feet were numb from kneeling, and he could only walk with a limp.On the way, I met many courtiers walking towards the imperial study room, but they could only lower their heads slightly and speed up to leave with resentment on their faces.

After the prince returned to the East Palace, he was furious, feeling that he had lost all face, and bullied all the female family members and servants in the family.He also smashed all the porcelain in the East Palace Mansion into a mess, and was annoyed to hear the exclamation of the female relatives, so he started beating and scolding them again.

When the prince finally vented his anger, he stared at his servants viciously: "Go to Yashi Street immediately, find a beggar named Ma, and ask him to find out where the rumors about this prince come from as soon as possible." You should be more careful, Father will definitely keep an eye on me in the near future."

"But... But, Your Highness, our mansion has been grounded, and no one can go out." The voice of the servant trembled, and he was very afraid of the prince.

"I don't care what method you use, I will find out today!"

The anger in the prince's heart was ignited again, and he kicked the servant, but unexpectedly, he couldn't support his foot, and his foot hurt.

He screamed, and the servants quickly called other servants to help the prince to the cool chair and give the prince medicine.

"Hurry up and go!" The prince was furious when he saw that the servant was still here.

"Yes."

In the end, the servant could only wait in the middle of the night to get out of the car and sneak out of the East Palace. Fortunately, the beggars lived on the streets at night, so he quickly found the horse beggars to help investigate.After exchanging information, he gave the beggar horse a gold bar according to the prince's instructions, and hurried back to the mansion.

"His Royal Highness, we found it."

The servants who returned to the mansion saw that the candles in the prince's room had not been extinguished, so they called out in a low voice.

"Why is it taking so long? I really can't do anything!"

The prince can only sit on the cool chair now, unable to move, looking very funny.

Seeing that the prince is so fierce, the servants are afraid that the prince will beat and scold him again, and feel nervous.

"The horse beggar said...the rumors about the prince...came from the largest teahouse in Shengjing, and it was the storyteller inside who was telling stories about His Royal Highness."

"Mr. Storyteller? How many lives dare to speak ill of the prince?" The prince was very suspicious of this, "Could it be that there is someone behind him?"

"Your Highness, the horse beggar went to check later and found out that it was Miss Jiang from Wangyue Tower."

"Watching Moon Tower? Miss Jiang?" The prince couldn't react for a while.

"It's the daughter-in-law of Jiang Taifu's house, Jiang Yue."

Hearing Jiang Taifu, the prince suddenly felt as if he had passed away, and some memories flooded back.And this Jiang Yue, he remembered that this woman seemed to have a very close relationship with Gu Mo...
