"Reporting to the princess, something like that happened over there, and everyone went over to catch them in the act."
The palace maid finished speaking with some difficulty, looking eager to try, and it was obvious that she also wanted to go and watch the fun.
"Where did you catch the adulterer? Take me there to see."
Ye Peizhu then looked at the wife of Duke Zheng and said, "Madam, would you like to go over and take a look?"
"Okay, let's go and take a look together."
Gossip is human nature.
Who doesn’t like to watch the fun?
Of course, the premise is that this excitement has nothing to do with me.
The palace maid took them to a side hall not far from the main hall.
As soon as she walked over, Ye Peizhu saw a lot of people gathered in three layers outside the hall.
The old emperor's angry roar could also be heard from inside.
"You rebellious son! What are you doing!"
"Father! I feel wronged! I don't know how things turned out like this!"
The sound of Prince Gong crying and shouting also came out.
Hearing that it was Prince Gong's voice, Ye Peizhu was completely relieved.
But this adultery should be caught in pairs. If it was just Prince Gong, why would the old emperor be so angry?
She told the prince that they should just let Prince Gong suffer the consequences of his own actions. There was no need for them to be as disgusting as Prince Gong and involve an innocent woman.
Has the situation changed?
Ye Peizhu was just wondering when she heard an unfamiliar female voice crying out for justice.
"This is the wife of the Minister of Rites! She was caught in an affair with Prince Gong!"
The palace maid who brought them here saw Ye Peizhu's puzzled face and explained to her in a low voice. It was obvious that she already knew the situation here in advance.
Ye Peizhu opened her mouth, her face full of shock, and almost screamed out loud.
The wife of the Minister of Rites?!
this.......
The Minister of Rites is on the side of Prince Gong and is in cahoots with him.
And now, Prince Gong and the wife of the Minister of Rites were caught in an affair.
That......
The relationship between Prince Gong and the Minister of Rites has completely broken up!
This situation...isn't it very similar to the situation that Prince Gong originally designed for her prince and the prime minister's wife?
I don’t know which kind-hearted person actually involved the wife of the Minister of Rites. Now Prince Gong has lost a capable helper!
Next, it depends on how the Minister of Rites will deal with his wife and his relationship with Prince Gong.
[Hey?? Prince Gong and the Minister of Rites' wife!
Does that mean I succeeded in stopping Dad from drinking the problematic alcohol?!
I successfully helped Dad and the Prime Minister's wife avoid Prince Gong's schemes?!
Great! I'm so awesome! I can actually save my dad at an age where I can't control my pee!
As expected, every evildoer will be punished by his own evildoer. The wife of the Minister of Rites is not a good person either. She and the Minister of Rites have helped Prince Gong do many bad things!
After this incident, Prince Gong and the Minister of Rites will definitely fall out! It would be best if they bite each other to death!
Song Jiujiu woke up at some point and just happened to hear what the palace maid said.
I shouted excitedly in my heart.
Ye Peizhu really wanted to cover her daughter's ears. She didn't want the dirty deeds between Prince Gong and the wife of the Minister of Rites to pollute the child's ears.
"Come here, take Prince Gong away, give him thirty lashes, and send him back to Prince Gong's Mansion for house arrest!
When you have reflected on yourself, the house arrest order will be lifted!"
After the old emperor gave his stern orders, the royal guards immediately dragged the disheveled Prince Gong away.
Because of this incident, the mood of the banquet was ruined.
The old emperor said a few words casually and asked everyone to leave the palace.
Prince Kang and his family got on the carriage. Ye Peizhu suppressed her curiosity and did not immediately ask Prince Kang about what happened tonight.
She waited until she returned to Qingzhu Courtyard, handed her daughter to Qiuyun and asked her to take care of her. Then she took King Kang to the next room to ask questions.
"Your Highness, was it you who did the thing about the Minister of Rites' wife?"
Prince Kang shook his head innocently, "No, I don't know what's going on either.
Your husband only sent someone to poison the wine sent to Prince Gong, and did not take any action against the wife of the Minister of Rites.
I am also curious about this matter. Could it be that someone is an enemy of the Minister of Rites and did this on purpose?"
Ye Peizhu frowned, "It's hard to say, but someone has interfered with our plan, which makes us a little uneasy.
I am worried that the person who plotted against the wife of the Minister of Rites knew our plan and did it on purpose."
Upon hearing this, King Kang's expression turned serious, "That's possible. If that's the case, we're in danger too.
Don't let them catch you plotting against Prince Gong."
"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now, Your Majesty. What happened tonight happened in the palace, and we can't let the secret guards investigate what happened in the palace.
Since Prince Gong and the wife of the Minister of Rites were caught in adultery tonight, we can only wait and see.
Let's see what the relationship between the Minister of Rites and Prince Gong will become. If they fall out, perhaps we can take advantage of the situation."
After Ye Peizhu finished talking about this, she went on to talk about the Duke's wife.
"I have already told the Duke's wife about Jiang Yingying. Coupled with what happened to Prince Gong tonight, the Duke's wife must have a very bad impression of Prince Gong.
If the people in the Duke's Mansion later confirm that Jiang Yingying is indeed their lost legitimate daughter, given the Duke's personality, he may not necessarily help Prince Gong."
Prince Kang nodded, his eyes full of meaning, "Prince Gong was tricked tonight, and he's desperate. Perhaps after learning that his concubine is actually the Duke's long-lost daughter, he'll try to deal with Princess Gong.
Then we can proceed with our original plan.”
“That’s right!”
Prince Kang and his wife waited patiently to see what news they would hear tomorrow.
The imperial study in the palace.
The old emperor stroked the ring on his thumb and sneered.
"I never thought that these sons of mine would scheme against each other.
Prince Kang finally became smarter and managed to avoid Prince Gong's schemes, and even schemed against Prince Gong in return!
But how did Prince Kang learn of Prince Gong's plan?"
An Yi, who was standing by, replied at the right moment, "Your Majesty, some time ago, Consort Gong went to Prince Kang's residence. Perhaps it was Consort Gong who leaked the information."
"Oh? Didn't they say that Princess Gong admired Prince Gong? She actually said one thing to his face and another behind his back?!"
The old emperor raised his eyebrows, his cloudy eyes full of surprise.
An Yi: "This...maybe there's something else going on."
"Oh, women, no matter their age, are all the same, they say one thing but mean another.
But what surprised me was Prince Ning. Prince Ning had never been involved in the affairs between Prince Gong and Prince Kang.
Unexpectedly, tonight, he was the one who sent someone to give the wife of the Minister of Rites a secret.
Could it be that he wanted to help Prince Kang deal with Prince Gong?
But I have never heard that Prince Ning and Prince Kang have a good relationship.
What is going on here? An Yi, do you know? "
