The old emperor's laughter was rough and unpleasant, and his words were even more creepy.
Eunuch Fuquan tried hard to reduce his presence.
The emperor could not even kill his own son. What if he ever becomes displeased with this old eunuch and wants to deal with him too?
It is true that living with the king is like living with a tiger.
If he had known this, he would not have worked so hard to climb from a small eunuch to the position of chief eunuch.
Eunuch Fuquan was in tears and his face was trembling with fear.
An Yi knelt in front of the old emperor and waited until he had laughed enough before speaking.
"Your Majesty, Prince Gong was injured and is recuperating in his residence. His concubine blocked an arrow for him and is also recuperating.
According to reports from spies in Prince Gong's mansion, Prince Gong was furious after learning that it was Prince Kang who was behind the incident, and he is trying to find a way to strike back at Prince Kang.
The old emperor sneered, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a small black pill and swallowed it as usual.
"Okay, I want to see how he fights back. Leave."
"yes."
With the old emperor's approval, Jiang Fanghui was beheaded a few days later.
At the same time, Jiang Fanghui's younger brother Jiang Dayong brought a group of people to find Prince Kang's Mansion.
"Everyone, come and see! Prince Kang's family is relying on their royal status to sow discord between my sister and her son!
Even now, my nephew's wife has no home to return to and is still living in Prince Kang's Mansion and refuses to leave!
My sister was also killed by King Kang! King Kang is going to destroy our entire family!"
Without his sister Jiang Fanghui as a shield, Jiang Dayong pushed his wife out and let her scream at the top of her lungs.
Everyone didn't know that the couple in front of them were the prime minister's uncle and aunt.
Listening to what Jiang Dayong's wife was yelling, everyone felt it was quite surprising. How could the Kang Wang family actually do such a thing?
Immediately, the crowd surrounded the gate of Prince Kang's mansion in three layers, waiting for the couple to ask for an explanation.
The noise at the door naturally spread to Prince Kang's mansion, but Prince Kang was not there now, so if this matter needed to be handled, only Ye Peizhu could do it.
Lu Jianan heard what happened outside and felt very guilty towards Ye Peizhu.
"Peizhu, I'm sorry. I thought nothing would happen after Jiang Fanghui died. I didn't expect Jiang Dayong to come here and implicate you.
I'm going to go out and explain things to him now. Don't worry, I won't let Jiang Dayong's nonsense affect the reputation of Prince Kang's Mansion!"
As Lu Jiannan was about to rush out, Ye Peizhu quickly held her back.
"Jia Nan, wait a minute, don't worry, I've already sent someone to the palace to pass on a message to the prince and the prime minister.
Since the person outside is the Prime Minister's uncle, it would be best for him to come forward.
Let’s just pay attention to the situation first.”
Lu Jianan bit her lip and nodded.
It was still noisy outside. Jiang Dayong and his wife were talking nonsense and spreading all kinds of rumors about King Kang. As they were talking, the onlookers also heard something wrong and a sense of familiarity.
"Why does this sound so similar to what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion a while ago?"
"Yes, it sounds familiar to me too. Could you two be the Prime Minister's uncle and aunt?"
"Do you know that spreading rumors about the royal family will lead to punishment?"
.......
The words of the people around them made Jiang Dayong and his wife feel a little uneasy, but when they thought of the person who asked them to come here, they straightened their backs and became more confident.
"We are telling the truth! It's been so long and Prince Kang hasn't come out yet. This is enough to prove that Prince Kang is guilty!"
"Who said that this king is guilty?!"
King Kang's cold and stern voice suddenly sounded, carrying a sense of oppression. The onlookers saw King Kang, who was still wearing his official robes, getting off the carriage and quickly knelt down to salute.
The Prime Minister also got off the carriage.
The two men walked straight up to Jiang Dayong and his wife with great momentum.
"You two are the ones spreading rumors that I have caused the Prime Minister's family to be destroyed?"
Jiang Dayong was a bully at home but didn't dare to say a word outside. King Kang looked at him coldly and he trembled all over and couldn't speak clearly.
"Your Highness! They are the ones who said it! We, the common people, can all testify to it!"
"That's right! Your Highness, Prime Minister, these two said..."
The enthusiastic people recited aloud what Jiang Dayong and his wife had just said.
As arrogant as Jiang Dayong was just now, he is as cowardly now.
“Uncle, I respect you as my uncle, but you don’t treat me as your nephew at all.
You instigated my mother to take action against my wife just to make my Leng family extinct!
You even instigated my mother to set fire to and kill those people just for the sake of your own daughter!
Do you think that if you keep your actions secret, no one will know? God is watching you!
Sooner or later you will get your comeuppance!"
Prime Minister Leng Zhuning shouted harshly, loud enough for those around him to hear clearly what he was saying.
Everyone was shocked and remembered the rumors about the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital.
Jiang Dayong was panicking, "I...I didn't! You're talking nonsense! Those were all done by your mother, they have nothing to do with me!"
Leng Zhuning ignored him and bowed to Prince Kang, "Your Majesty, can I borrow your guards?"
"Of course, come on."
Prince Kang shouted, and the gate of Prince Kang's mansion was pushed open, and more than a dozen guards came out.
"Please send these two men to the authorities. I suspect they are also involved in the previous arson case!"
As soon as Leng Zhuning finished speaking, the guards immediately handcuffed Jiang Dayong and his wife and sent them to the authorities.
"I'm innocent! I didn't do anything!"
Jiang Dayong was still shouting, but the guards soon stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth.
Leng Zhuning bowed to the people and said, "Everyone, I solemnly explain here again today that every word Jiang Dayong said just now is false!
Prince Kang and Princess Kang are the benefactors of this official and my wife! If you hear anyone spreading rumors about this in the future, please explain it to me."
The Prime Minister's polite demeanor made most people feel good about him.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister! We believe that you and Prince Kang are both good people!"
"That's right! Prince Kang is a good man! We ordinary people won't believe those rumors!"
......
After watching the people leave, Prince Kang and the Prime Minister looked at each other and went into Prince Kang's mansion together.
"Prime Minister, do you know what you just said in public? What does that mean?"
Prince Kang looked at his wife and the prime minister's wife walking towards them and asked Leng Zhuning in a low voice.
Leng Zhuning raised the corner of his lips and said, "Of course, from now on, I will be a member of the prince's ship."
"Prince, Prime Minister, are you all right?"
Ye Peizhu and Lu Jiannan came over and asked hurriedly.
"Madam, I am fine."
"Jianan, your husband is fine too."
Leng Zhuning answered proactively, even though Lu Jianan didn't ask him.
Lu Jianan pursed her lips and saluted King Kang.
"My Lord, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
