Chapter 482 Rumors Flying All Over the Sky
Prince's Mansion.
The rumors outside were so widespread that the maids and servants in the mansion naturally heard about them.
The two maids were talking.
"It's all spread out there now. Our Crown Prince has contracted that disease."
"Hey, I heard that the disease that Chu Liangyuan diagnosed at Jishidiang was really transmitted from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Chu Liangyuan, then the Crown Princess would also..."
"Oh my God! If the Crown Princess is also infected, it would be really pitiful. The Crown Princess is usually very nice to us and is a kind master."
“That’s not…”
Suddenly an angry voice was heard.
"It's so late, why don't you go to rest? What are you talking about here?"
The two maids, Wenyan, looked up and saw Xing'er glaring at them, and spoke hurriedly.
"Meet Sister Xing'er..."
Xing'er looked at the two of them and spoke coldly.
"What were you talking about?"
The two maids looked at each other, and neither of them dared to speak.
Seeing this, Xing'er scolded again.
"Why don't you tell the truth? Be careful or I'll report you to the Crown Princess and have you skinned alive."
One of the maids spoke cautiously.
"Sister Xing'er, we're not being lazy on purpose. It's just... it's just... now, word has spread everywhere, both outside and inside the mansion, that the Crown Prince has contracted that disease and has even infected the ladies in the mansion. We're worried about the Crown Princess being... that's why we spoke so worriedly."
Hearing this, Xing'er raised her hand and pointed at the two maids.
"No matter where you heard these rumors, stop right there. You even dare to talk about the master's words casually. I think you two are tired of living. Go down and get some rest."
After saying this, he glanced at the two maids with a warning, then turned and walked quickly towards the prince's bedroom.
Qianyan had already changed into pajamas and was washing up with the help of a maid. Xing'er walked in and took the towel from the maid.
"You should go down and rest first. I'll be here, Princess."
Upon hearing this, the little maid bowed politely and retreated.
Xing'er handed the clean towel to Qianyan.
"My Lady, just now when I was counting the clothes you would be wearing tomorrow, I ran into two gossipy maids who were discussing the Crown Prince."
Ever since she had a falling out with the Crown Prince, Qian Yan had become a stranger to him, and now she spoke calmly.
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Xing'er looked at Qianyan cautiously, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"My Lady, do you not know whether what those two maids said is true or not? But the matter is a bit serious. My Lady, please stay calm after hearing this."
Qian Yan spoke calmly after hearing this.
"Is there anything unacceptable in my current situation? The stage has already treated me like air. Tell me."
Xing'er then spoke.
"The two maids said that the news has spread throughout the palace and outside that the Crown Prince has contracted the disease and has passed it on to Chu Liangyuan. Your Majesty, have you been feeling unwell recently?"
The Crown Princess dropped the towel in her hand when she heard this.
"What did you say? That disease? What kind of disease?"
Xing'er lowered her head and spoke after hearing this.
"My queen, the only thing that can be transmitted is probably some kind of dirty disease. My queen, you are..."
Qian Yan closed her eyes in anger, then opened them again.
"I'm afraid someone is plotting against the Crown Prince. Didn't Chu Liangyuan go to the Bai residence? Why is she involved in this matter?"
Xing'er seemed to remember something when she heard this and spoke.
"Could it be that Chu Liangyuan is behaving inappropriately..."
Qianyan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"If it was just a single unruly woman, there wouldn't be such a big fuss. Go investigate immediately and find out the cause and effect."
Hearing this, Xing'er picked up the towel that had fallen on the ground.
"Yes, I will check it out right away."
Qian Yan's original sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, and she tried to avoid thinking about Su Hanchu's face.
Could this matter have anything to do with her?
Liyuan study.
Xing Mu, dressed in black, bowed to Jun Moyong.
"Your Highness, I've found out. The Prince's Mansion has indeed carried away many women in recent years, and they were all thrown into mass graves or desolate mountains and wilderness. There is also a very remote courtyard in the Prince's Mansion. I explored it at night and found that there are indeed many things that are only used by eunuchs with disabled bodies..."
Jun Moyong's expression became calm upon hearing this.
"It seems like Jun Moye is quite capable. I haven't been able to find any fault with the Crown Prince for all these years, but he brought it up right away upon his return. Did he find anything else?"
Xingmu continued to bow.
"So far, we haven't found anything about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince buying or selling official positions, but the Qian family gives the Crown Prince a lot of money every year. This Qian family is the Crown Princess's family."
Jun Moyong nodded upon hearing this.
"I'm afraid this is true. As for the evidence, someone has already prepared it for us. Let's go to the Bai residence tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xing Mu looked up at Jun Moyong.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong looked at Xing Mu.
"What else?"
Xing Mu bowed when he heard this.
"It's all spread out there now, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has contracted a serious illness."
Jun Moyong was shocked when he heard this.
"Dirty disease? How could the prince be infected with this disease?"
Xing Mu shook his head slightly when he heard this.
"I don't know, but it's definitely spread all over the place."
Jun Moyong frowned when he heard this, as if he was in deep thought.
"I haven't heard that the prince is sick before. How come there are such rumors all of a sudden?"
Xing Mu continued speaking after hearing this.
"When I heard this was related to the Crown Prince, I made some inquiries. It seems that today at Jishidi Hall, Chu Liangyuan from the Crown Prince's residence went to see a doctor. The doctor diagnosed her with an internal organ disease. Suddenly, the whole Jishidi Hall was bustling with people coming to see the doctor. Chu Liangyuan swore in front of everyone that she had never had contact with any man except the Crown Prince. Then, out of shame and anger, she attempted suicide. It caused quite a stir at the time, and the news naturally spread quickly."
Jun Moyong became even more confused after hearing this.
"Why would Liang Yuan from the Prince's Mansion go to Jishiditang for treatment? Even if she's not feeling well, shouldn't she still invite a doctor into the mansion?"
Hearing this, Xing Mu recalled the information he had heard.
"Your Highness, it is said that when Chu Liangyuan was seeing the doctor, she was encountered by the Lord of Baise City, the Master, and the King of Yan. The Crown Prince has been greatly humiliated this time."
Jun Moyong murmured something when he heard this.
"Lord of Baise City, cousin..."
Thinking of Jun Moye's dissatisfaction with the prince, and the information he had found out, this prince was indeed unworthy of his position. It seemed that his cousin had begun to interfere in the affairs of the Tianyuan Crown Prince.
"Go down, there's no need to check the Prince's Mansion."
