The Eastern Palace no longer has its former glory.
The area was overgrown with weeds, and there weren't even any guards guarding the gate. It didn't look like the palace where the prince lived at all.
Xuanyuan Yuchuan poured a glass of wine, drank it, and then fell into deep thought.
Really, when Hu Luanfei saw him again, he really thought he had walked into the wrong palace.
There was dirt on his clothes and even in his hair. It was very likely that he had not changed his clothes or washed his face for several days.
His hands were especially dirty, covered in grease, red, and with black dirt embedded in his nails.
Could it be that he dug a hole while she was away?
Her presence seemed to catch his attention.
Although this attention is listless.
He drank another glass of wine in silence, and when he noticed that there was someone following her, his eyes widened suddenly.
"Little basket, are you okay?"
The small basket seemed to be hiding behind Hu Luanfei on purpose. When Xuanyuan Yuchuan got a little closer, it jumped away as if it had been electrocuted.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, it was the Second Prince who led the servants out of the Ministry of Punishment."
The small basket hid a little further away and poked its head out from behind the pillar.
Obviously, this irritated Xuanyuan Yuchuan, "Are you blaming me for not being able to protect you?"
He spoke in such a self-blaming tone, which probably really irritated Xiao Lan Zi. Xiao Lan Zi quickly shook his head and explained, "I am afraid that I will cause trouble for the Crown Prince."
"I'm not afraid of you getting into trouble, come here!"
Xiao Lanzi quietly hid back, "Your Highness should deal with the current matter first, and don't let Princess Zhan make a wasted trip."
Some people have become a necessity. Xuanyuan Yuchuan has a special identity and has to cut off some relationships that affect his reputation.
But he was unwilling to give up. "Wait for me, I will give you an explanation."
Xuanyuan Yuchuan instantly returned to the sinister look he had long ago, and the fierce light in his eyes was enough to scare everyone.
But, it's far from enough.
Concubine Shu kept nagging Xuanyuan Yuchuan's preferences. In late summer, the palace had guests and invited guests from all over the world to a banquet.
Xuanyuan Li drank too much with the envoys from various countries, and could not resist the sweet talk of Concubine Shu, so he reprimanded Xuanyuan Yuchuan in public.
At that time, during the banquet, Xuanyuan Yuchuan was not demoted thanks to Nalan Qi's desperate protection.
Hu Luanfei looked at Xuanyuan Yuchuan with helplessness in her eyes, "Brother, I don't object to your love for Xiao Lanzi, but I'm going to make it clear today. Before you grow up, don't let others know about your relationship."
Xuanyuan Yuchuan's position was unstable, and the concubines under him tried their best to seduce Xuanyuan Li, so it was inevitable that they would get pregnant with a dragon descendant. God knew what kind of disaster Xuanyuan Yuchuan would bring to his family after the six courtyards in the harem knew that he was a homosexual.
He became more and more unstable, and because of this, Concubine Shu found something wrong with him.
Xuanyuan Yuchuan poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'm sorry, Sister Luan. I was distracted by passion for a moment." He put down his wine glass fiercely, without any sign of admitting his mistake in his eyes.
It is true that a child cannot be taught.
"What are you going to do now?"
Xuanyuan Yuchuan said ruthlessly: "Shufei boasts of her noble status, and takes advantage of her father's busy political affairs to secretly have an affair with General Zhenbei. She wants to win people over with her virtue, and also wants to be a pair with her adulterer. I want to teach her what it means to lose everything."
"you mean…"
Xuanyuan Yuchuan turned the wine glass on the table and smiled smugly: "I will deal with her the same way she dealt with you and me."
Concubine Shu is best at spreading rumors.
Xuanyuan Yuchuan put his knowledge into practice and used it with ease.
People began to spread rumors that the princess born to Concubine Shu was not the king's daughter.
Some people speculated which palace the concubine had an affair with, some said the princess was actually the daughter of General Zhenbei, and some said the concubine couldn't stand the loneliness and accidentally got pregnant by having sex with an old eunuch.
The common people mocked her for being so hungry that she would not be picky about food, but they were also ready to make some moves.
Everyone in the Yanxi Palace was shocked.
Xuanyuan Li, Nalan Qi and General Zhenbei were also shocked.
As everyone knows, Xuanyuan Li dotes on Shufei and her daughter very much.
For example, the little princess received treatment that even the legitimate princess born to the previous queen did not have, but from Concubine Shu.
A person with such a strong self-esteem as Concubine Shu would never tolerate anyone slandering her.
In the Yanxi Palace, Concubine Shu smashed all the porcelain in the room, scaring the servants so much that they knelt on the ground and trembled.
Nanny came forward and said, "General Zhenbei entered the palace today. I think he came here for this matter."
"How could Qi Shenyuan, that bastard, be so inefficient in his work?" Concubine Shu gritted her teeth, "Fortunately, His Majesty did not investigate further."
Mammy was worried. "Why did this kind of thing suddenly spread among the people?"
A figure flashed through Concubine Shu's mind, "Princess Zhan is a major suspect. I am sure that the rumors are related to her."
"This Princess Zhan has no grudges against us..."
"She is from the prince's side."
"Then we have to be on guard."
Concubine Shu was angry, "We must not only defend, but also take the initiative."
If Concubine Shu had kept silent and let the rumors spread, it would have been fine. Rumors are just rumors and will fade away sooner or later. But she was desperate and insisted on proving her innocence, and thus fell into the trap of Hu Luanfei and Xuanyuan Yuchuan.
Because they have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
While Concubine Shu was on her way to the Yangxin Palace, the little princess was being looked after by her nanny and wet nurse in the Yanxi Palace. Suddenly, an imperial decree came, forcing the nannies to take the little princess to the Yangxin Palace.
Just as Concubine Shu arrived, the little princess also came. It was not only Xuanyuan Li who was waiting for them, but also the concubines in the harem and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
She looked at the people in the room in amazement, "Why are all the sisters gathered in the Yangxin Palace today? What's the matter?"
The leading Consort De replied, "In order to purify the royal bloodline, I, my sisters, and His Majesty have discussed arranging a blood test for the little princess..."
Concubine Shu turned pale and asked anxiously, "Sister, do you also think that my sister is cheating on you?"
Concubine De nodded, "There is no smoke without fire. We will know whether the rumors are true or not once we verify them."
Concubine Shu looked at Xuanyuan Li, "Your Majesty, do you believe me?"
Xuanyuan Li looked at the concubines with a sullen face, "Since you are all free, go and copy Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother, don't just stand here and cause trouble."
Imperial Concubine De bowed to Xuanyuan Li and said, "I have already called the imperial physician and the little princess. Your Majesty, why don't you clear Imperial Concubine Shu and the princess yourself?"
"Father, I think what the Imperial Concubine said is reasonable. Only by proving the innocence of the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Sister can we silence the gossips." Xuanyuan Yuchuan said, "The Imperial Sister is still young. If she finds out that her life experience is unclear or that someone has slandered her, and if we as parents do nothing, it will most likely hurt the Imperial Sister's heart."
"Your Highness is right. I think so too."
Xuanyuan Yuchuan and De Guifei sang the same tune and pushed Shufei too hard. When she was about to break down, Xuanyuan Li immediately turned the situation around.
Xuanyuan Li's eyes were filled with anger. "Why are you asking me so much? Do you have any conspiracy?"
