Chapter 337 The Secret That Spreads Across the Capital

The same thing happened in the men's section.

The second prince wore a plain robe today and walked into the main hall with a gloomy face. He looked out of place among the people dressed in fancy clothes.

As soon as the third prince saw him dressed like this, he immediately became angry.

Are you here for a funeral?

He is dressed like this. Does it mean that he has no money to buy clothes?

Thinking of this, the Third Prince became merciless.

"If you are short of money, just tell me. You are so embarrassed to wear this kind of clothes. Aren't you afraid of losing face for our royal family?"

The second prince said coldly: "Third brother, what you said is very inhumane. You should know that my cousin..."

"As a cousin, I have to express my condolences."

The third prince said sarcastically, "Why, Liang Zhi is dead, and the second brother is very sad?"

"That beast with a human face and a beastly heart, doesn't he deserve to die?"

"Who is he and who are you? Is it necessary for you to mourn for him?"

The crown prince was dressed in brocade clothes, and when he stood next to the second prince, the contrast was really obvious.

One is elegant and dignified, the other is poor and shallow.

He patted the second prince on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, you are confused. I'm afraid you have forgotten why Liang Zhi died."

"If what happened today gets to the emperor's ears, I'm afraid Concubine Liang's confinement will be extended."

The Second Prince's back tightened and he remembered this.

He was only thinking about disgusting the Third Prince, but forgot that his father would also be unhappy.

Recently, because Concubine Liang was under house arrest, he was not able to enter the palace to disturb her.

As for Gao Peng, although he could see that he was poisoned, he couldn't find a way to detoxify him. He was extremely anxious and inevitably didn't think things through carefully.

The second prince's fingers trembled slightly, and he suppressed his anger: "Brother is right, I was wrong. Third brother, do you have any extra clothes? I will go and change into one now."

The third prince decisively refused.

"No, I'm taller than you, and my clothes won't fit you."

The more the princes spoke, the angrier they became. Those who had good sense had already avoided them.

Now that he had handed them a handle, the Second Prince could only say to the Crown Prince in a good-tempered manner: "Brother, Third Brother's temper..."

"I wonder if Big Brother has any clothes that you can lend me?"

Since they haven't fallen out with each other, on the surface, they are still good brothers.

The second prince is flexible and it is not difficult for him to smile at the crown prince.

The prince was very generous. "I did bring two sets. I'll have someone find them for you."

-

The second prince changed into his gorgeous clothes again, and the atmosphere in the main hall gradually became lively.

Lu Jiangnian asked with concern: "Your Highness doesn't look well, is he feeling unwell?"

The prince also asked hurriedly: "I think so too, second brother can't tire himself out. If Concubine Liang finds out, she will be worried again."

He is just like a caring brother.

The third prince shouted loudly: "Prince, I am also your brother, why don't you care about me?"

"I have always favored the second child since I was young."

For a moment, the atmosphere became cold again.

The second prince became the focus of everyone's attention. He forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother. I just slept a little late last night."

"Are you worried about Concubine Liang?"

The prince said gently, but his eyes were cold, "Father has shown mercy and only confined me to my room. A month will pass quickly."

"However, the Liang family has been behaving badly recently, and my second brother should take good care of them."

The third prince took the opportunity to stab him: "That's right!"

"Who in the capital doesn't know the reason why Liang Zhong's engagement was broken off? Although my second brother is used to being idle, he should still pay more attention to the control of his relatives."

He deliberately emphasized the word "idle", and some people covered their mouths and chuckled.

The second prince's face was burning.

The Third Prince was clearly saying something with a hidden agenda, deliberately mocking his incompetence.

He saw today that the Third Prince had sided with the Crown Prince!

They sang the same tune, and it turned out that they were in collusion.

No wonder Feng Wei’s affair was exposed.

Presumably, they had been in cahoots for a long time, and the prince had been on guard against him since early on.

"Third brother, be careful with your words."

The second prince's voice was cold, "Those who are reckless will eventually suffer the consequences. You are trying to get the skin of a tiger, and I am afraid that you will suffer endless troubles."

"ha!"

The Third Prince laughed loudly, "A tiger is always better than a jackal. I hate those hypocritical, hypocritical and disgusting dogs the most!"

The prince smiled without saying anything, his eyes wandering between the two of them, as if enjoying this farce.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Lu Jiangnian took a brocade box from Xuan Qing and said, "Second Prince, I have a small gift for you."

The prince pretended to be surprised: "Jiang Nian must have made a mistake. Today is a good day for my third brother."

Lu Jiangnian's expression remained unchanged: "Prince, please understand. The gift to His Majesty the Third Prince has already been registered. This..."

He deliberately raised his voice and said, "It was specially prepared for the Second Prince."

The Third Prince was curious: "Oh? What good things did Lord Lu prepare for the Second Prince?"

Everyone in the hall looked sideways.

It has always been known that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have a very good relationship, and Lu Jiangnian has frequent interactions with them.

It is not surprising that Lu Jiangnian gave gifts to the Second Prince. What is strange is that he gave gifts specifically at the first birthday party of the Third Prince's legitimate son. This is puzzling.

The second prince stared at the brocade box warily but did not reach out to take it.

Lu Jiangnian raised a cold smile and suddenly opened the lid of the box: "I heard that the Second Prince has been looking for famous doctors to treat his hidden illness, so I found a miraculous medicine, 'Da Zhan Xiong Feng San', to help the Second Prince regain his masculinity!"

He spoke loudly, making sure that everyone could hear him. "After all... the Second Prince still has no children, which is really worrying."

The whole room was in uproar.

The prince covered his face with a folding fan, but his eyes were full of smiles.

The third prince was much more unrestrained. He laughed loudly, and his laughter shook the earth.

"Second brother, you can't do it?"

"Hahaha, why don't you ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

The prince and Lu Jiangnian only told him to cooperate today, but he didn't know that they had planned such a good show.

Wonderful, wonderful!

The second prince's face turned pale in an instant, and then turned red.

He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, his nails digging deep into his palms.

Lu Jiangnian!

How did he know!

Poison, could it be him who poisoned it?

Lu Jiangnian even dared to expose his shortcomings in public!

In front of so many people, his inhumane scandal was made public to the world!

The prince pretended to be displeased: "Jiang Nian, don't be rude!"

There was no trace of blame in his tone.

The Third Prince was already laughing so hard that he fell backwards: "Lu Jiangnian is really considerate! Second brother, please accept it quickly. Maybe by this time next year, you will be able to hold a legitimate son!"

Everyone around was whispering, and the Second Prince felt dizzy.

He stared at Lu Jiangnian's smug face, wishing he could draw his sword and pierce him on the spot.

But in the end, he just took the box stiffly and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "I think you heard it wrong. I don't have this disease."

Lu Jiangnian seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally couldn't help whispering: "Your Highness, why do you have to be so secretive?"

"The matter of offspring cannot be taken lightly."

"That day, the Second Prince... had a hidden illness, and summoned more than a dozen famous doctors to the other hospital for a consultation, but nothing was found. I heard from Imperial Doctor Gao that the Second Prince was afraid... that it would be difficult for him to have children."

"I am really worried about Your Highness, so I found this miraculous medicine. Your Highness must try it."

The second prince could no longer bear it and strode away.

From the corner of his eye, he saw other people at the table looking at him with inquiring eyes, and hatred filled his heart.

After walking out of the Third Prince's Mansion, he threw the brocade box to the ground, and the medicine powder spilled all over the floor.

He stared at the pile of brown powder and suddenly sneered.

"Lu Jiangnian..."

He whispered softly, "I will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold."

He narrowed his eyes, bloodthirsty murderous intent flickering in them.

The second prince did not wait for the second prince's wife and left the third prince's mansion alone.

When the Second Prince's wife hurried over, she realized what had happened. She felt dizzy and could not even stand steadily.

It can’t be... true.

No matter what, the inhumane secret of the Second Prince spread throughout the capital in an instant.
