After rebirth, she remarried the crazy-criticizing emperor's uncle: she doted on him to the bon

"'Girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up.' Sister Chenglin is being forced by her father to marry the prince."

"Oh, I thought something was wrong! Just marry her. Wouldn't it be nice to be a princess?"

"Second brother!"

Wu Qingyue looked at him seriously and asked, "Answer me honestly, if Sister Cheng Lin married the prince, wouldn't you be sad?"

"Why should I be sad?" Wu Qingwen immediately retorted, "I'm so happy for Chenglin, how could I be sad?"

This blockhead is so hard to get over!!!

"Will you really not be sad if Sister Chenglin marries someone else, Brother?"

"Do not......"

"Second brother, don't rush to answer me. Think about it carefully."

"What's the idea?"

"Second brother!"

Wu Qingyue wanted to pry open his head and see what was inside. In his previous life, after Sister Cheng Lin died, he saw his own heart clearly. Does this time have to wait until Sister Cheng Lin is really dead before he can see the light?

She tried to reason with him: "Second brother, imagine if Sister Cheng Lin married someone else and raised children with him. Would you like to see such a scene?"

His sister's expression was too serious, and Wu Qingwen, confused, had no choice but to follow her instructions and picture the scene in his mind -

His heart suddenly ached, but before he could think about why it ached, the pain disappeared.

He was a tolerant person and understood this as the pain of losing a "sister".

"'Men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough'. As long as Sister Chenglin is willing, I naturally agree with this marriage!"

"What if Sister Chenglin doesn't want to?"

"Well, 'parents' orders and matchmaker's words', there's nothing we can do about it. We can only pray that her future life won't be too difficult."

Wu Qingyue: “…”

Poor Second Master Wu, he worked so hard to run into the palace, and before he could even finish his cup of tea, he was driven out of the palace by his own sister!

What's even more pitiful is that he didn't even know what he had done to offend her, and she turned against him so suddenly!

There is no wall that is impenetrable. The affair between the prince and Zijin soon spread out of the East Palace; and the fact that she was the most popular prostitute in the brothel also spread out.

Because of this incident, Xiao Shengyu got very angry with Xiao Muheng and almost deprived him of his status as the crown prince. It was only after Zhou Yurou pleaded repeatedly and even used her mother's family to pressure Xiao Shengyu that he gave up the idea of ​​"deposing the crown prince".

Xiao Muheng returned to the East Palace in a gloomy mood and said to the eunuch in charge of the palace, "Go, call everyone in the palace together!"

Seeing his unfriendly expression, the eunuch in charge did not dare to delay: "Yes."

The bustling crowd just filled the courtyard of the East Palace.

"Everyone, kneel down before me!"

As soon as the prince spoke, the palace maids and eunuchs were so scared that they knelt down immediately.

Such a grand ceremony has never been seen in the East Palace!

Wu Yin knelt at the front of the crowd, feeling a bad premonition.

"Recently, some bad rumors have spread from my palace, and they are very unfriendly to me! If anyone knows the truth and reports it, I will reward them handsomely. If anyone conceals it and I discover it—"

"Kill him!"

As soon as the last two words came out, the crowd exploded!

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Wu Yinshuang asked bravely.

"The matter between me and Zijin."

"What's going on between Your Highness and Miss Zijin?" She pretended to be confused.

Xiao Muheng's suspicious eyes immediately locked onto her: "Shuang'er, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"

Wu Yinshuang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly distanced himself from the matter: "I really don't know!"

"Shuang'er, this isn't the best thing you did. If you..."

He didn't say the following words, but they were enough to scare Wu Yinshuang to death.

Another maid bravely asked, "Your Highness, what if we don't know who spread the news?"

"If they all don't know, each of them will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane to rectify the palace order!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone took a deep breath.

Twenty strokes of the cane...either death or disability!

"Your Highness, is this punishment too harsh?" Wu Yinshuang asked in shock.

This punishment shouldn't include her, right?

After all, she is the master now, not a servant!

But she obviously underestimated the impact of this incident on Xiao Muheng.

"I will do what I say!"

Xiao Muheng nodded to the eunuch in charge, who understood and quickly said, "One stick of incense is the limit. If the troublemaker is found within one stick of incense, everyone will be safe. If the troublemaker is not found within one stick of incense, then everyone will be in trouble."

Incense, lit.

A male voice immediately said in the crowd: "A man's deeds are his own responsibility. Whoever did this should take the initiative to admit it, so as not to bring harm to others!"

Someone else immediately chimed in: "That's right, if you still have a conscience, just confess it voluntarily to avoid hurting innocent people!"

More and more condemnations are coming out, and without exception they are all out of fear of death.

However, time passed by minute by minute, and the incense stick was about to burn out, but no one came out, and everyone was completely panicked!

Everyone has witnessed Xiao Muheng's methods. Since he said that everyone should be punished together, then they will definitely be punished.

Everyone began to suspect each other again, and finally, they turned their attention to Wu Yinshuang.

"Consort Wu, it's you! The last time you came to His Highness's chambers, you struck Miss Zijin without any reason. It seems you had a reason for targeting her. Now it seems you were jealous of Miss Zijin, so you spread the news."

"What are you talking about?"

When Wu Yinshuang heard someone calling him, he immediately couldn't sit still!

"I don't know about Miss Zijin and His Highness. The last time I scolded her was because she was disrespectful to me. These are two different things. How can they be mixed up?"

"But among us, you are the one with the best position to do this, right?"

"There are so many people with opinions! Maybe you're just jealous of Miss Zijin's good fortune, crying thief and shifting the blame elsewhere. You have ulterior motives!"

Her words made some sense, which made Xiao Muheng, who was originally sure that it was her, uncertain again.

"Your Highness—"

Wu Yinshuang choked up and said, "Shuang'er is already His Highness's woman. Although I may be limited in talent and knowledge, I also understand the principle of 'prosperity is shared, adversity is shared'! His Highness is my husband, how could I ruin his reputation?"

Now, Xiao Muheng finally stopped doubting her.

"Shuang'er, I trust you. You get up first."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wu Yinshuang stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said mysteriously: "Your Highness, this matter is very suspicious. I wonder if it is..."

"What's the matter? Shuang'er has a suspicious candidate?" Xiao Muheng asked anxiously.

"I don't know if it was her, but Shuang'er feels that she is the most likely person to have done this!"
