The emperor's uncle is the only favorite: the mysterious doctor's crazy concubine is going

Chapter 261 Deliberately spreading rumors
  The last person's words brought everyone's discussion to an abrupt end.
  Once word of this gets out and is investigated, the person may be slapped with a slap in the face, or put in jail at the worst.
  Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one is talking to you.
  Seeing everyone like this, the man's tone became urgent: "Haven't you heard of it?"
  Just as Shen Zhuoxi was about to enter, someone inside responded: "I have heard this statement before, but I just treated it as a joke. After all, His Highness King Yu has settled too much for our country, Dong Chen."
  "I always feel that His Highness King Yu would not do this!"
  Someone else took up the challenge and said, "Maybe, who doesn't love money?"
  "Actually, I heard someone mention it yesterday that His Royal Highness King Yu's money came from improper sources, but where it came from is indeed worth pondering."
  "The betrothal gift alone is so much silver. His Highness, King Yu, still has at least half of the silver in his hands, right?"
  "So, doesn't His Highness King Yu have more money than the national treasury?"
  "..."
  Huizhi listened to the various conversations in the room, looked at Shen Zhuoxi worriedly, and said, "Miss, everyone knows that Renxintang is under your name, yet they dare to discuss it openly like this."
  "Where we can't hear it, the rumors may be even worse and more unheard. Once such words reach the palace, the emperor will definitely not spare the prince lightly."
  "It's not that simple." Shen Zhuoxi frowned, still maintaining the posture of getting off the carriage, and said: "For ordinary people, matters involving the royal family are nothing they can mention."
  "Still, in this public place, the person talking about is the God-killing King Yu, don't you think it's strange?"
  When she said this, Hui Zhi also felt strange and asked tentatively: "Is someone instigating this?"
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't say yes or no, and said: "Go in and take a look. The more they talk, the more enthusiastic they are. It's definitely not possible to let them go."
  Seeing that no one stopped the discussion after talking for a while, the people who discussed it became more and more courageous and started to make various conjectures.
  "What are everyone talking about? It's so lively?" Shen Zhuoxi came in with a smile, as if he didn't hear them talking.
  After she came in, the others didn't dare to speak. They just pretended to be stupid.
  Someone boldly responded: "Second Miss is getting married soon, so you still have time to come here?"
  "Of course I'm here to see a doctor." Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "What did everyone say just now? It was very lively outside. Unfortunately, it was too complicated and I couldn't hear what was said."
  "You just want to say it and make me happy too?"
  Everyone looked at each other again, and no one had the courage to speak.
  "Hey, what did you say? Our second lady has always been friendly. Is there anything else that the second lady can't listen to?" Hui Zhi also looked confused and said to everyone.
  Someone replied with a mocking smile: "It's nothing. We are talking about His Highness King Yu betrothaling the second lady. Everyone else is wearing a red makeup, so the betrothal gift of the second lady must be ten miles."
  "No, who doesn't envy you? The girls in the city are getting even redder now."
  "That's right. From the beginning of the betrothal ceremony, your share is so huge that others can't even envy you."
  "What's the use of envy? His Highness King Yu is only good to the second lady."
  Everyone began to change the topic and compliment Shen Zhuoxi.
  Shen Zhuoxi smiled and didn't say anything, but looked at Hui Zhi.
  After following Shen Zhuoxi for so long, Hui Zhi could roughly understand what she meant with just one look, and said to the person who couldn't stop praising her, "There's something wrong."
  "How come the second lady and I are listening outside, you seem to be saying that His Highness King Yu gave the second lady a lot of money?"
  "This..." The person who spoke first didn't know how to answer and looked at the others.
  Everyone else lowered their heads and pretended to be stupid, and no one looked at him at all.
  He didn't speak, and Huizhi's tone suddenly became serious: "No matter whether His Highness King Yu can go to the battlefield in the future, he is King Yu of the Eastern Chen Kingdom, and the betrothal gift His Highness gave to the second lady is justifiable."
  "You ordinary people dare to discuss and arrange things without restraint. Do you think you have grown a few heads?"
  Everyone was silent.
  Eizhi's eyes were locked on the person who spoke.
  If she heard it correctly, this person's voice was the one who first suggested that King Yu's money came from a shady way.
  I'm just afraid that it's fake that he came to see a doctor, and it's real that he instigates people to suspect.
  Everyone remained silent, Shen Zhuoxi chuckled and said: "Don't blame Hui Zhi for speaking harshly. The identity of His Highness King Yu cannot be arranged at will."
  "I heard a word or two about those words just now. If word spreads, all of you here might end up in the government offices. You'd better keep your mouth shut and don't say anything you shouldn't say."
  Li Zhong happened to come in from the outside. When he heard Shen Zhuoxi's last words, he saw that no one in the room dared to answer, so he quickly said: "Second Miss, what happened? Why do you want to go to the government office?"
  The atmosphere was very tense. Shen Zhuoxi turned his head and asked Li Zhong, "Where have you been?"
  "Mr. Xu made medicine for Mrs. Sun. Everyone was busy, so I sent it to you." Li Zhong stepped forward quickly and said, "Is there something wrong with the medicine?"
  "No, Renxintang is here for medical treatment. If you are sick, you will see a doctor, and if you are not sick, you will get medicine." Shen Zhuoxi paused, and his voice became colder: "As the shopkeeper, you must also take care of it."
  "In the end, if any rumors spread from Renxintang, it will be troublesome for everyone."
  Li Zhong roughly guessed what was going on and whispered: "Second Miss, there are some rumors that did not originate from us. They were spread in the streets and alleys overnight."
  "Okay, just look here first and don't let people who come into Renxintang talk about it." Shen Zhuoxi knew that the matter had become serious, so she interrupted him and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
  Shen Zhuoxi covered her face with a gauze scarf. In summer, many ladies would cover their faces if they were afraid of being exposed to the sun, and no one suspected it.
  She and Hui Zhi walked to the street and pretended to buy something, because today she happened to wear a bun that she didn't usually wear, and no one expected that she was Shen Zhuoxi.
  As the master and servant walked from Renxintang to the end of the long street, the people were talking in hushed tones, which was similar to what Renxintang had heard before.
  "Miss, you are right, this is definitely premeditated." Standing at the end of the long street, Huizhi stopped and said with a solemn voice: "Someone is making a fuss about King Yu's appointment!"
  Shen Zhuoxi said nothing with a sullen face.
  The time from the appointment to today can be said to be short, neither short nor short.
  Everyone in the palace must have known about such a big commotion. If the emperor punished him for being high-profile, he should have sent someone to warn him.
  If the emperor does not come forward, none of the loyal ministers can make an independent decision, so there is only one possibility: one of the princes will come forward.
  "Prince." Shen Zhuoxi spoke slowly, his voice was small, but his tone was very firm!
  "Ah?" Hui Zhi said in surprise: "Isn't it possible? There is no movement even from the emperor. Why would the prince do this?"
  "King Yu has made great achievements in battle. The emperor has been in poor health recently. If he suddenly dies one day and the prince ascends the throne, King Yu will definitely take the position of regent." Shen Zhuoxi was silent and said in a low voice.
  "He wants to clear the way for his own future!"
