After rebirth, I remarried the domineering 9000-year-old

Hearing the young man's question, he nodded and replied, "I am defending the reputation of the Northern Vietnamese royal family, not any particular individual. If Your Highness had been referring to your other sister-in-law today, I would have said the same thing."

Xie Heng didn't believe his nonsense. In his impression, Prince Li always spoke very little. Even when his father spoke to him, he would just answer one question at a time and never say more.

But look at him now. He just ignored him when he spoke to him before. And he just said one sentence about Shen Nanxing, and then he said a lot of sentences in a row, as if he was afraid that he would spread it and ruin the reputation of that woman.

He rolled his eyes, a sly glint in his eyes. "Prince Li, let me ask you, Shen Nanxing's mother was conferred the title of First Rank Imperial Consort. Was it you who suggested to our father that he do this?"

Fu Jiuli bowed and was about to answer, but Xie Heng raised his hand to stop him: "Don't say anything yet, just listen to me first."

He curled his lips and continued, "Shen Nanxing's foot was injured a few days ago, and now, after just a few days, she can walk normally. Ordinary ointments would never have such an effect. I remember that my father gave you a bottle of special medicine three months ago, which can have such a good effect..."

After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Did you give it to her?"

Fu Jiuli opened her mouth to say something, but the young man raised his hand to stop her.

"No matter what you say, it's useless unless you can show me the bottle of ointment that the emperor father gave you within three days. Then I will believe that you didn't give it to her... Can you?"

Fu Jiuli: ...

The young man continued, "And that day in the court, Father had already decided not to punish the prostitute who seduced Prince Jing. Why did you insist on giving that woman thirty lashes? And why did you insist on having Shi Lei carry out the execution?"

"Don't explain, I won't believe it even if you do!"

"Also, my father just told me that you took the initiative to take on the task of pacifying the flood in Liang Province. But wasn't this task already handed over to Prince Jing? Why did you do this?"

The young man looked intently at the man who, even at this moment, remained calm and said, "You can speak now."

Fu Jiuli said calmly, "Since His Majesty has told Your Highness about this, he should have also informed Your Highness of the reason."

The young man glared at him again: "Humph, don't think I don't know, you are just trying to trick Father, I don't believe it!"

"This prince wants to listen to you!"

The two men confronted each other for a while, and the young man was defeated.

He stamped his feet in frustration: "Forget it, who can compare to your nine thousand years of silence!"

"Since you don't want to say it, I will tell you."

The boy's childish face was filled with melancholy, and his voice was a little muffled: "Did you hear that Prince Jing and Shen Nanxing entered the palace together today?"

I heard that Prince Jing and his wife went to the palace together to meet Concubine Duan today. They were laughing and joking all the way, holding hands the whole time, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.

This matter spread throughout the palace.

It was said that Shen Nanxing openly complained in the court that day about asking for a divorce and saying that she wanted to remarry the Ninth Prince. These were all words spoken in anger to irritate Prince Jing so that he would change his mind.

Now that Prince Jing has returned, and they are in love, Shen Nanxing has already forgotten Jiu Qian Sui. Indeed, how could a legitimate daughter of a marquisate, such a noble family, give up her chance to be a princess and settle for a eunuch?

Even if he was granted the title of King of a Different Surname by His Majesty and held immense power over the East Factory, it wouldn't change the fact that he was a eunuch. Let alone a daughter of an aristocratic family, even a maid in the palace would be gossiped about if she became a eunuch's consort...

Xie Heng was originally doing his homework in his bedroom. Feeling bored, he went out for a walk. Before he had walked more than ten steps, he heard such gossip three times.

The maids and servants gathered in twos and threes. When they listened carefully, they found that they were all discussing this matter. They were all mocking the Nine Thousand Year Old Man!
