The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Beads of sweat flowed down the Grand Tutor's forehead, and he said tremblingly, "It's just a rumor. I don't know the truth."

"Grand Master, what you mean is that the only way to determine whether the rumor is true or not is to ask the Emperor himself?"

How to respond to this? At this time, the Grand Tutor wanted to dig a tunnel to the Grand Tutor's Mansion with his toes, and then claimed to be sick for half a month.

Just as the Grand Tutor was still organizing his words, Shen Xuan, the prince of the Lin Palace, broke the deadlock.

"Brother, a miraculous doctor has come to my house. He may be able to help you regain your strength. Don't be embarrassed. Just tell me the symptoms in detail and I will pass on the message."

"But if my royal brother is interested in Long Yang, then I, your humble servant, can do nothing to help him."

All the civil and military officials immediately became alert and looked at the confused Shen Jingli...

Royal secrets are the most interesting.

Dig, keep digging...

Love to listen...

"..."

The corners of Prince Shen Xuan's mouth were almost stretched to his temples, his words were full of contempt, and his eyes were excited.

This guy is shameless!

He actually wanted her to discuss her hidden illness in public?

No, she just didn't have the tools to commit the crime...it wasn't like she had any hidden illness.

"I... care about the people and have no feelings for romantic matters."

"Secondly, I am good! Very good! Not bad, but very good!"

There were a few uncontrollable laughs from the audience...

Shen Jingli gnashed his teeth and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I am definitely not a homosexual."

Hearing the emperor testifying in the hall, the officials below the stage tried hard to suppress the urge to laugh. Last night's events had caused quite a stir, and yet the little emperor still dared to speak so brazenly here.

Shen Xuan was even more playful and continued to finish off the enemy.

"But I heard that the emperor sneaked out of the palace yesterday. No, I made a slip of the tongue. It should be that the emperor went on a private visit in disguise."

"My brother rushed all the way to Ruanxianglou and ordered the top male and female prostitutes to serve him. Somehow, he was kicked and beaten out of the room by the courtesan. Now everyone in Ruanxianglou is discussing that my brother is unable to do what he wants and cannot satisfy them..."

"Shut up!"

A cold voice rang out, and the people in the audience were so scared that they fell to their knees, looking at their noses and hearts, not daring to make a sound.

Shen Xuan frowned and lowered his head, looking unhappy but not daring to get angry. This Qin Yejue was a traitor who had no regard for the law. After the death of the late emperor, he became even more rampant.

"The Emperor has not left the palace recently, let alone made any private visits."

Black and white are reversed. Does this regent think that everyone is a fool? Although Shen Xuan was dissatisfied, he did not dare to get angry.

To contradict him now is like an egg hitting a stone. Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment, the dissatisfaction on his face disappeared, and he nodded rapidly.

"Yes, yes, that courtesan must have had delusions. She dared to slander the current emperor. She is very bold."

Eh?

This guy actually defended himself?

It's strange, very strange.

But then again, Qin Yejue played an indispensable role in causing things to develop to this point.

There were no electronic devices for entertainment here, and she was almost suffocated. She used all her connections and spent a huge amount of money to have a eunuch dig a dog hole...well, to be more polite, it should be said to dig a passage.

When it comes to killing time, the first choice is a brothel, after all, there is wine, food and beautiful women.

The tunnel was dug last night, and he immediately ordered his follower Songzhu to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to withdraw some silver for himself. However, when Songzhu came back, he came back empty-handed and looked depressed.

The damn chief steward of the Imperial Household Department actually refused to give it and even said that the Emperor had to go and apply to the Regent himself, and the loan could only be granted after approval.

If I was refused a few hundred taels, I wouldn't be so angry, but as the king of a country, I only asked for fifty taels, and you can't accept that? ?

He is an emperor, but his pockets are cleaner than his face.

I can't bear it, I can't stand it any longer!

If I endure it, am I still a fake man?

Every policy has its own countermeasure. Shen Jingli immediately thought of a solution and decided to sell his only piece of jewelry, a jade ring.

It’s not that she is too timid to apply, but...

But...

Well, if you come clean, you're just a coward.

After all, asking Qin Yejue for money to go to a brothel and have fun is almost the same as going to die.

It is more reliable to sneak out and become a jade ring.

As soon as Shen Jingli left the palace, he pawned his jade ring for five hundred taels of silver, and rushed to the brothel to punch in. He was rich and willful, and with a wave of his hand he called the courtesan to pour wine and serve him, as if he did not care about tomorrow but wanted to live today.

As luck would have it, not long after that the courtesan's admirer came to her house and offered money to snatch her away. This man was obviously a wealthy but stupid dandy. He actually offered a whopping price of five hundred taels just to have dinner with the courtesan.

Shen Jingli was a man of few words and refused to suffer a loss, so he confessed that he could only give fifty taels.

I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly the courtesan refused to obey and insisted that first come first served was the rule and she would not follow the other party no matter how rich he was.

This made Shen Jingli very happy, and he called a few pleasing young men and dancers to serve him.

Listening to the little tune and watching the wonderful dance, I felt very happy.

This kind of life is not better than being a puppet emperor.

This kind of pleasure is no better than reading memorials in the Yangxin Palace after court session.

This is a pleasant experience, no better than recognizing the portraits of Dayuan's ministers in Qianlu Palace.

Just when he was feeling excited, a group of men in black came from nowhere, picked up Shen Jingli and stuffed him into a carriage.

The living devil was waiting in the car early...

That scene was so embarrassing.

What made people most infuriated was that the five hundred taels of silver that was pawned from the jade ring was ruthlessly confiscated by Qin Yejue.

Parked outside Ruanxianglou was the Regent's sedan chair, so the person who came to the brothel to arrest someone was most likely the Regent. Everyone speculated that the person who was captured last night was the current emperor.

Later, for some unknown reason, word spread throughout the Soft Fragrance Tower that the Emperor was impotent and had been kicked out by the Oiran.

Shen Jingli had no prestige in Dayuan to begin with, and everyone had no regard for the emperor's dignity as a man, and the rumors of his impotence became more and more true.

The rumors started last night, and the dignity was gone this morning.

Shen Jingli became angrier the more he thought about it and continued to defend himself.

"My dear ministers, you should know that I usually review memorials when I have time, and read famous works from ancient and modern times when I am free. I am often busy until midnight without realizing it. The person the prince is talking about is not me."

I don’t admit it either. Last night was so embarrassing.

All the civil and military officials were ashamed: what he said was true. There was nothing wrong with him, but there were problems everywhere. It might be true that the emperor often stayed up late, but he definitely did not do that to review memorials or read famous works.

Can you understand his behavior?

"As the indirect pillar of Dayuan, I have been working hard to improve myself day and night, vowing to live up to the world. I feel that..."

Just when he was about to refute the Grand Tutor's proposal for selecting a concubine, he was unexpectedly interrupted by Qin Yejue.

"Your Majesty is so absorbed in government affairs, let's discuss the matter of selecting a concubine another day."

Seeing Qin Yejue stand up, Shen Jingli also breathed a sigh of relief.

This is great, I don't have to choose a concubine and I can leave the court. The feeling of being forced to work is really uncomfortable.

"Farewell, Prince Regent." All the civil and military officials bowed their heads respectfully to see him off, only Shen Jingli had a frown on his face.

Boy, I didn't get this treatment when I left.
