No one knew about this, but I don't know why, overnight, the streets and alleys heard that not only did it rumor that the concubine of King Rui's Mansion had a private meeting with someone, but some people added fuel and vinegar, saying that Jiao Niang eloped with her lover and was caught red-handed by King Rui.

Yu Chizhen led the ladies of the house to kneel in front of Yingche's study for two hours, and cried against Jiao Niang, "Hua's shamelessness and fornication with others, it is really an unforgivable crime, how can the prince leave such a ** by his side and provoke outsiders to laugh." ”

Ying Che sat on the big chair, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, his eyes gloomy and terrifying, like a beast that would eat people at any moment.

Wang Zhan stood aside, secretly looking at him, since he came back from Guan Ju Pavilion yesterday, he has been sitting here, sleepless all night, not eating, not speaking, a pair of eyes are so deep that people are unpredictable, even he dare not persuade a word.

Xiao Zhongzi came in with a meal that had been heated several times, Wang Zhan glanced at it and persuaded: "Your Highness, you haven't eaten for a day and a night, and your body will not be able to stand it if you continue like this, so let's take a bite first." ”

Ying Che didn't hear it, and he didn't move, and the sunlight shone in through the gaps in the Duobao Pavilion, crawling on his face, and a layer of mist spread around the edge of his gloomy pupils, covering his eyeballs.

"Lord Wang, there are rumors outside, I don't know how many people are laughing at you behind your back, do you really want to be laughed at, willing to be pointed at behind you, and scolded you as a living king?"

Yu Chizhen couldn't hold back and broke out.

Ying Che's spirit was shocked, as if his soul had just returned to his place before. He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them and said, "Let them in." ”

As soon as Yu Chizhen came in with everyone, he knelt on the ground, didn't raise his eyes, and picked up a book to read, "You guys have been arguing outside all morning, what's the matter?"

Just now, I was angry outside, and I kept talking, but when I got in front of Yingche, I just looked at me, I pushed you, and no one dared to say it.

Yu Chizhen squeezed Han's eyes, but Han avoided his gaze and craned his neck without squeaking.

Wei Chizhen saw that no one was willing to come forward, so she had to say to herself: "The concubine heard that the Hua family went out of the mansion yesterday to have a private meeting with someone, and also plotted to elope with the adulterer and fly away. She is so unruly and unscrupulous, pregnant and still living with others, it is really hateful. His Royal Highness should hand her over to the Imperial Division for investigation as soon as possible, for she not only wasted the prince's affection, but also tarnished the dignity of the royal family, and the crime cannot be punished. ”

Only then did everyone agree, "Yes, she is too shameless, the prince is so good to her, how can she betray the prince ruthlessly?"

Xue Ji said disdainfully: "She can get all the favor of the prince, not only is she not grateful, but she does this kind of thing, which is simply a conscienceless." ”

Han said: "Didn't you say that she and that man were old and good? Is that that she had no intention of marrying with the prince, and she was just greedy for glory and wealth?"

As soon as the words fell, Yingche's handsome face was immediately filled with the haze of thunder and lightning, and his anger was shocking, "Who do you all listen to? If you don't stay in peace one by one, you will know that if you chew the root of your tongue, do you want this king to twist all your tongues with scissors!"

Everyone was frightened, but they didn't dare to raise their heads, and they trembled with fright. Seeing this, Yu Chizhen said, "How can Your Highness lose her temper with our sisters, Hua Shi doesn't abide by women's morals——"

Ying Che frowned at her angrily, "You are also a person who has read books, don't you know right from wrong?

Yu Chizhen looked at him in disbelief, "Does the prince still want to protect her now?" A smile appeared on his face, and he complained bitterly: "She committed adultery with someone!"

Ying Che squinted slightly, revealing a few flashes of fine light, "What did you see with your own eyes?"

Wei Chizhen finished for a while, "Although the concubine didn't see it with her own eyes, the rumors outside were already heard in the streets." ”

Ying Che sneered, "Do you know the streets?" lowered his eyelashes, and his dark eyes stared at Yu Chizhen's face, "But why doesn't this king know where?"

Yu Chizhen's face faded to gray in an instant, and the confident energy before coming in disappeared with Ying Che's words.

Ying Che looked at her deeply, and said suspiciously: "I don't know who the princess listened to to these nonsense things? Jiao Niang went out yesterday, but it was this king who asked Wang Zhan to send someone to pick her up, she has always been with this king, how can she talk about a private meeting with an adulterer?"

Wang Zhan knew from the beginning that the prince was protecting Concubine Huafang, so he nodded, followed his meaning, and continued: "Who is this person so bad, making up such nonsense to spread rumors. Yesterday, the prince also took Concubine Hua to Yuelailou to eat snacks, and the slave has been following. ”

looked at Yu Chizhen calmly, "Princess, how can those rumors outside be credible, maybe someone is ruining Concubine Hua's reputation." ”

Yu Chizhen was extremely stunned, as if a firecracker exploded above her head, she looked at Wang Zhan in amazement, and then at Ying Che, and called out in a lost voice: "Lord Wang, how can you tolerate it!"

Ying Che had a calm face, and asked again, "This king asked you, Concubine Hua had a private meeting with her lover, did you see it with your own eyes?

Yu Chizhen was about to shout out the word "water fragrance", but she choked at the moment she spoke, she looked at Yingche for a moment, and slowly lowered her head, "There is no concubine." ”

Ying Che withdrew his gloomy gaze from her, "That's nothing, since it's nothing, what are you still doing here?"

He didn't look at them anymore and flipped through the papers.

Everyone was stupid, they all looked at Wei Chizhen, and they were suspicious, but most of them also felt that it was a rumor, and they knelt outside for two hours under the help of the princess, which was thankless.

Like Han, he was already annoyed, not to mention the thankless work this time, and offended Concubine Huafang.

She was the first to stand up and saluted Ying Che, "The concubine retires." ”

With her taking the lead, everyone else also saluted and retired one after another, and in the end, only Yu Chizhen was still kneeling in place, Ying Che rarely came out of the scroll, and said coldly: "You still don't leave?"

Yu Chizhen tightly clutched the pearls embroidered on her dress, pursed the corners of her mouth, and got up, "The concubine retires." ”

For a while, when he finally calmed down, Ying Che threw the scroll aside, and he couldn't read a word at all.

"Do you see what's coming?" Ying Che sneered and squinted at Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan held his breath lightly and muttered, "I'm afraid that this matter is only for Concubine Huafang." ”

Ying Che's face was pale, and he said word by word: "She was designed by someone." ”
