After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Emperor Jingsheng sat in front of the imperial desk, flipping through the memorials in his hands. He said "yes" but his expression was so stern that one felt as if a mountain was pressing down on one's head. The bright room was in stark contrast to the gloomy and increasingly low air pressure, as if one's breathing was stagnant.

He opened his eyelids and looked at Jiang Hong standing in front of him, and suddenly laughed twice: "Well, Prince, I have underestimated you for so many years! I always thought that you were kind-hearted and simple-minded, and the most reliable among all the princes. I never thought that you would do such a thing as bribing corrupt officials. You really surprise me!"

Jiang Hong's expression suddenly changed, and he knelt on the ground in an instant, with a trace of confusion in his narrow eyes: "Father, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Look for yourself!" Emperor Jingsheng threw the memorial in his hand heavily in front of him.

Jiang Hong knelt down and picked up the memorial, his face becoming increasingly darker. "This is impossible! I have never bribed corrupt officials. This, this must be something wrong!"

"Mistake? Then tell me, why would your men go in and out of the house of the governor of Quzhou in the middle of the night, and the military pay I issued just happened to pass through his hands?!" Emperor Jingsheng was furious, his eyes full of disappointment.

Jiang Hong's fingertips trembled, and his heart sank bit by bit. He knocked his head on the ground and said firmly, "Father, I really don't know anything about this. Please give me some time and allow me to investigate this matter myself."

"I don't think that's necessary," Emperor Jingsheng's voice was dignified without anger, "Pass on my decree. Your Highness the Crown Prince is not strict in his rule. He is immediately confined to the East Palace. No one is allowed to visit him without my order!"

"Father, I really didn't know the truth!" Jiang Hong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Jiang Chen, who was standing by, looked at him with deep eyes, knelt on the ground, and said, "Father, I believe that my elder brother was wrongly accused. He would never do such a thing. In my opinion, it would be better for me to investigate this matter for my elder brother, so as to clear his name."

Emperor Jingsheng tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "Prince Rui, you submitted this memorial, tell me what you think."

Jiang Yu knelt on the ground, his pale face expressionless: "I have the same idea as Third Brother. Big Brother would never do such a thing. Moreover, I also felt it was a little strange when I was investigating. It was as if these evidences were deliberately arranged by someone. I found whatever evidence I needed. Everything went too smoothly, too smoothly."

"Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate. Once there is new evidence, inform me immediately." Emperor Jingsheng said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I obey your command." Jiang Yu bowed his head and responded. He seemed to have thought of something and said, "Father, it is too slow for me to investigate alone, so I would like to ask for your permission to arrange an assistant for me."

"Oh?" Emperor Jingsheng was a little curious. Over the years, his son had always been strong-willed. Apart from his personal guards, there was almost no one around him. He was a little curious about who could catch his eye. "I guess what you said means you have a candidate?"

"That's right," Jiang Yu nodded, "This man is Gu Wen, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. He is prudent and careful in his work, and a rare talent. He is waiting outside the palace now."

"Let him in!"

"Yes."

The palace door was pushed open, and a tall figure like a jade tree slowly walked in, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, as gentle as jade.

He was dressed in an official uniform, with a solemn expression and a dignified demeanor. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long, long live Your Majesty."

The moment he saw him for the first time, Jiang Hong's expression changed almost imperceptibly.

"Get up." Emperor Jingsheng raised his hand.

When Gu Wen stood up and looked up, his eyes met, and a faint light flashed in Emperor Jingsheng's eyes. He subconsciously glanced at Jiang Hong, and then said in a cold voice: "Since King Rui has chosen you to be his helper, you must do your job well and don't let me down."

"Yes, I will do my best."

Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Jiang Hong and asked with a smile, "Father, what about my eldest brother's house arrest..."

"Until there is evidence to prove his innocence, it is unsolvable." Emperor Jingsheng said coldly.

Jiang Hong clasped his hands tightly on the ground, his shoulders trembling slightly. He clenched his teeth tightly, as if he was trying desperately to suppress the resentment and anger in his heart.

A playful smile appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Emperor Jingsheng waved his hand in boredom: "Alright, all of you go down, I'm tired."

"I, your humble servant, will take my leave." The four of them said in unison.

As soon as he stepped out of the imperial study, Jiang Hong walked quickly, leaving the other three behind, and soon disappeared.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh a few times: "It seems that the emperor is really angry this time. I just don't know whether big brother deserves it this time or it is an unprovoked disaster?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him and said coldly, "Whether it is or not, everything will come out once I find out the truth."

"Oh?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Then as an elder brother, I will wait for good news from the sixth brother."

He opened the jade fan in his hand, shook it casually, and walked away slowly.

Jiang Yu looked at his departing back, his eyes deepened.

"Your Highness, let's go too. Chen Zhao has prepared the carriage." Gu Wen's voice rang in his ears. Jiang Yu came back to his senses and said, "Let's go."

……

The sky had just cleared up, but soon it started raining again. The dripping rain hit the gravel road, splashing water.

Pei Yan, supported by her maid, walked back to the house from the pavilion in the yard. The hair draped over her shoulders was wet by the rain, and a few strands stuck to her snow-white and slender neck, making her look more gentle and charming.

The beautiful scenery outside the door seemed to be blended with her. The beauty was like a scroll, slowly unfolding, so beautiful that she seemed not to be a thing of this world.

When Jiang Hong came back, this was the beautiful scenery he saw.

He was slightly startled, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Pei Yan's eyes fell on him. The smile on her face suddenly faded. She leaned forward and saluted in a distant and indifferent manner: "Your Highness."

Jiang Hong's heart stagnated, and the depression in his heart instantly turned into a raging fire, burning all the way to his throat. The anger that had just subsided rose up again.

He strode into the room and sneered, "The Crown Princess really has two faces. How come you can smile so happily in front of outsiders, but never have a good face in front of me? Why, is it that marrying me is a grievance for you?"

"I am not wronged." Pei Yan walked over, reached out to pick up the teapot and filled the cup beside him: "If Your Highness is angry, just vent it on me. I dare not say anything more."

"Snapped--"

Jiang Hong threw the teacup in front of him to the ground, and the maid immediately knelt on the ground, and everyone outside the house also knelt on the ground.

"Of course you don't dare, because you are afraid. You are afraid that I will embarrass Gu Wen. But now you don't have to be afraid. I have been confined to my house, and Gu Wen has jumped from the top scholar to the junior official of the Dali Temple, becoming the beloved man admired by thousands of girls in this capital! Of course, this also includes you, my Crown Princess."

"Your Highness! Stop talking nonsense!" The remaining color on Pei Yan's face disappeared completely, and her face was filled with anger as she snorted softly.

"Nonsense?" Jiang Hong stood up, holding Pei Yan's jaw firmly with his big hands, his deep eyes full of paranoia and madness: "Then tell me, what did I say wrong?"

His eyes wandered on the snow-white skin on her chest, his Adam's apple rolling up and down: "I have been married to you for many years, and I have slept in your room day and night. I have never taken a concubine or a concubine. Pei Yan, what else are you not satisfied with? It has been so long, and you have never been pregnant. Is it because I am not good enough, or you simply don't want to give birth to my child, and still want to rekindle your old love with Gu Wen?!"
