Chapter 769 The prince made them eat too much!
The storyteller's face suddenly changed, and he stood up and said, "Today's story is over. Everyone, we will go to bed early tomorrow!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by the excited crowd.
The person who rushed to the front grabbed his collar and asked, "Who did you just say was the fifth child in the family?"
He looked so angry, as if he wanted to eat someone.
The storyteller shook his head frantically, saying "I don't know."
But the more he did this, the more people felt that they had guessed right, but he was afraid to tell the truth because of the other party's identity.
The man couldn't help but curse, and punched the storyteller in the face, angrily saying, "Your Highness Prince Jin was only a little boy at that time. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."
As he was about to go up and take action, he was stopped by the people traveling with him.
Although the others were not as impulsive as him, the looks in their eyes showed that they wanted to tear each other apart alive.
The storyteller covered his face, which had been hit, and said with a look of grievance: "I already said I didn't want to say it, but you forced me to say it. Why did you hit me?"
"Hit someone?" The man snorted coldly, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll hit you every time I see you!"
As he was speaking, someone had already overturned the storyteller's table and chairs. A few strong people jumped on them and trampled them to pieces.
He was cursing and looked like he wanted to eat someone.
An old man shook his head, pushed through the crowd, stepped forward, raised his cane and hit the storyteller twice, cursing, "You heartless bastard, why did you have to make fun of His Highness Prince Jin when you could make fun of anyone else?"
He looked up at the private room on the second floor and cursed, "That scoundrel upstairs who has no face to see anyone and only dares to throw dirty water on others behind their backs, listen to me, old man.
Without His Royal Highness Prince Jin, we wouldn't have the peaceful days we have now, with enough food and warm clothes. We, the young and old, must speak with conscience."
Someone echoed, "When the prince was fighting in the border town, these cowards didn't know where to hide in peace.
After only a few years of peaceful life, they dared to come out and slander the prince, and even wanted to put the blame on him.
If you ask me, it's because the prince let them eat too much!"
Everyone was talking at once, and some even rushed to the second floor, stood in front of the door of the box where the person was questioning, and shouted, "Whoever's in there, get out now! Don't wait for us to kick the door in."
In response, they were met with a cold laugh, "A bunch of fools, they don't know what they are talking about."
When the people heard this, they were immediately furious and shouted, "Kick the door and pull this guy out!"
The leader kicked the door open, and a group of people rushed in, causing the wooden floor to tremble under their feet.
Someone shouted, "That kid jumped out the window and ran away. Hurry up and chase him. We can't let him get out and talk nonsense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of hurried footsteps leaving.
In the side room across the wall, Song Yanxi watched as the teacups on the table trembled from the shock and said sarcastically, "After such a scene, I won't dare to say anything bad about the prince when I'm outside anymore."
Mo Jinchuan raised the corner of his lips slightly, "If Xier said it, they would probably think that they had wrongly trusted me in the past."
He paused, a hint of playfulness in his dark eyes, "If Xier doesn't believe me, find an opportunity to try it some other day and you'll know."
Song Yanxi hurriedly shook her head and said quietly, "I'm not that thick-skinned to let anyone question and abuse me."
As she spoke, she changed the subject and said, "The people they hired to perform the show seem to have good acting skills and are quite shameless."
Mo Jinchuan raised his eyebrows, "How many?"
Seeing that he really hadn't noticed, Song Yanxi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled brightly at him and said, "Your Highness, why not take a guess?"

Fengyi Palace.
"That's ridiculous!" The Queen said with a sullen expression, "Send someone back to tell my father and brother that we must find a way to stop the spread of these rumors, no matter what."
After saying this, she leaned back in her chair as if she had lost all her strength, and murmured, "That child has suffered so much. He shouldn't have to endure these doubts. It's unfair to him."
But as a "mother", what can she do for him now?
Just when the queen was feeling uneasy, she saw a figure rushing in.
Even though she didn't see the face clearly, she recognized the figure as Mo Yingxue at a glance.
Didn’t this kid get drunk last night and stay in Yunshu Palace?
Afraid that she would hear something she shouldn't, the Queen signaled Xianglan to leave first.
But she didn't expect Mo Yingxue to come straight to the point as soon as she entered the room: "It seems that the Queen Mother knows everything."
The Queen frowned, "You child..."
Mo Yingxue interrupted her and asked coldly, "How long do you, Queen Mother, want your daughter to remain a naive and ignorant child?"
Knowing that she was still angry about what Emperor Xuande said last night, the Queen sighed and said, "Xue'er, your father was just angry last night, don't take it to heart.
As the ruler of a country, he seems to be the supreme ruler and is feared by all, but he also has his own difficulties.
After the children left one after another last night, the couple had a rare chance to sit down and talk.
Although she did not agree with the marriage, His Majesty used force to make Prince Jin agree to inherit the throne.
But when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, if it were her, she would probably find it difficult to find a way to have the best of both worlds in a short period of time.
I'm afraid your Majesty's time is really running out.
Thinking of this, the Queen took Mo Yingxue's hand and said earnestly, "Yingxue, promise your mother not to bear a grudge against your father.
From the beginning to the end, he never really thought about marrying you to Liang State."
Mo Yingxue pursed her lips and said nothing.
What made her angry now was no longer the fact that Emperor Xuande wanted her to marry into the imperial family.
Rather, he shouldn't have said in front of her beloved mother and her most respected fifth brother that she didn't know the rules, and shouldn't have said anything about being the Crown Princess being an injustice to her.
What the hell is this Crown Princess? She doesn't care about her at all!
For a man like Wen Qi who is rotten to the core, she would never marry him even if all the men in the world died.
When her father said those words, she felt like an object, like a vase placed on a cabinet, which could be given away with just a few words.
Just like her sisters, the men she married were either people who had made contributions to the court, or close ministers that her father wanted to win over.
She was powerless to stop it, but she didn't want to become a chess piece on the chessboard.
If it really comes to that, she would rather give her life back to him!
Noticing Mo Yingxue's resolute look, the queen's face turned pale and she raised her hand and slapped her hard.
She was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she said in a trembling voice: "You bastard, you want to kill me!"
Mo Yingxue was hit so hard that her face tilted to the side. Tears as big as beans slid down her face, and her voice was choked with sobs, "Mother, you hit me?"
The queen gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I am beating you, the unfilial one.
I carried you for ten months and risked my life to give birth to a daughter like you, yet you dare to have thoughts of suicide at any time.
If I had known this would happen, I would have strangled you to death the moment you opened your eyes, rather than waiting for you to tear my heart out now."
The Queen raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes and said with disappointment, "Mo Yingxue, I have misjudged you all these years."
She turned away and said coldly, "Go away, and don't come to my Fengyi Palace again.
I will just pretend that I never gave birth to a daughter like you."
Mo Yingxue covered her face, her red eyes filled with tears. She choked and asked, "Mother, you don't want your daughter anymore?"
