Chapter 137 He Really Didn’t Mean to Scare You
Before Bu Ruo could say anything, Qian Luan also walked in. When he saw Jin Congcong, he took a step back in shock.
"Master Jin, you...what's wrong with you? Did you offend someone? What a deep hatred and resentment..."
Jin Congcong looked down at himself, and when he saw nothing, he turned around and looked again.
"What are you talking about? I just changed my clothes this morning. I have nothing on. I even showered last night. I'm squeaky clean."
Qian Luan couldn't help but laugh at his expression. "I'm not saying you're dirty, I'm saying there's something on you. It looks like a...female ghost?"
Jin Congcong paused, his eyes wide as copper bells: "Ruo... Ruo'er, tell me that what he said is not true, he just wants to scare me."
Bu Ruo nodded: "Well, he really didn't mean to scare you, everything he said is true."
After a while...
“Ah! Ahhhhhh!!!”
"Ruo'er, please save me. Please take her away quickly. I'm scared. I'm scared..."
"Where is she? Is she above me or behind me, or somewhere else?"
Qian Luan raised his hand and pointed at someone who was running in circles around Bu Ruo: "She's on your shoulders, and you're carrying her around."
Jin Congcong: ...
Bu Ruo was a little dizzy after being confused by Jin Congcong, so she grabbed him and grabbed his shoulder.
"Go away, it's okay."
Jin Congcong looked at Bu Ruoxukong's grasping hand and said in a trembling voice, "Ruo'er... is someone trying to harm me? I haven't offended anyone except my father. It can't be that my father wants to harm me."
"No! It's not impossible. My mother is pregnant, so I'm redundant. I'm so pitiful, wuwuwu..."
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said, "What are you thinking about? Even if the master is annoying you, the fact that you are his son is still true. You should think about who you have offended recently."
Jin Congcong thought for a moment, "I didn't go anywhere after we came back. I just went out this morning. It's impossible that the thing in your hand would follow me back in just half an hour."
If Bu Ruo gave up, he would know that asking this fool was useless.
"Qian Luan, I'm leaving this female ghost in your care. You must find out where she came from. She must have been manipulated to find that idiot in such a short time."
After Qian Luan took the female ghost, he nodded to Bu Ruo, turned around and disappeared on the spot.
"Ruo'er, is there really no female ghost in me anymore? Didn't you and Qian Luan really agree to scare me together?"
"How about... can I sleep on the floor outside your door before Qian Luan comes back? I'm afraid there will be other female ghosts trying to harm me. I just don't know if Your Highness agrees."
"Ruo'er, for our sake..."
Before Jin Congcong could finish her words, Bi'er walked in and said, "Princess, Mo Bao is really good at spreading gossip. Now the whole of Kyoto knows that the prince has been cheated on again. The prince was summoned to the palace by the emperor before dawn this morning and has not come out yet."
"And our prince has secretly spread the news that the prince is not the emperor's biological son. It seems that he is going to take action against the prince. Should we add fuel to the fire?"
Bu Ruo sat in the chair and squinted her eyes. In fact, Xiao Yulan had told her about this matter after she came back last night, but she didn't expect him to act so quickly.
"Bi'er, let's go find Mo Bao."
After saying that, he glanced at the pitiful Jin Congcong beside him and said unhappily, "You should go with us too, so that we won't cause trouble if we can't keep an eye on them."
Jin Congcong said he felt very wronged, as he clearly did nothing.
…
In the imperial palace, the imperial study.
The emperor looked at the kneeling prince and smashed a teacup on him: "Your good princess has brought shame to the entire royal family!"
"As for the previous Crown Princess, I certainly can't blame you, but what about this? You were only married a few days ago, and you were caught having an affair with someone else. And everyone knows about it. Do you still want to maintain your dignity as the Crown Prince? Do you still want to be the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Jingrui knelt on the ground: "Father, I really don't know about this matter. The Crown Princess did not behave unusually after entering the house. It is obvious that she was framed, so I did not punish her."
The Emperor snorted softly, "Prince, don't think I know nothing just because I'm in the palace. It's true that the Crown Princess was framed, but if you hadn't been so audacious as to kidnap Su Yiling and bring her back to make it a done deal, would they have framed her? Would they have ruined your reputation?"
Xiao Jingrui was shocked. This incident happened last night, and now his father knew about it. Does that mean that his father has been secretly sending people to monitor his every move?
"Father, I... I love Miss Su, and that's why I was so obsessed with this. I know I was wrong, I really do."
The emperor was furious when he saw Xiao Jingrui. "The young lady from the Su family was already engaged. Even when the eldest son of the Bu family was rumored to have died in battle, she refused to break off the engagement and claimed that she was his widow and would stay with him forever. Not to mention that Bu Tianrui was not dead and had already returned."
"Forget it, go out first and let me think about it."
After Xiao Jingrui left, the emperor sat there for a long time without saying a word.
"Li Defu, when I woke up, I saw you were hesitant to speak. Is there any news?"
Eunuch Li bowed his head and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, there is news. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...he...he is indeed not your biological son."
Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard that Xiao Jingrui was indeed not his son.
"Who is it?"
Eunuch Li lowered his head even more: "Your Majesty guessed correctly, the Crown Prince's biological father is... the Heavenly Master."
"And the Empress had a crush on the Heavenly Master when she was still in her boudoir, though the Heavenly Master was unaware of it. But then, at a palace banquet, the Heavenly Master got a little drunk, and the Empress deliberately waited for him on the way back to the Guantian Palace... and then the Crown Prince was born."
The emperor snorted softly, "It sounds like the Heavenly Master was just drunk and having sex, but don't forget, he is the Heavenly Master, the one who can predict everything, the one who can foretell good and bad luck for the Great Zhou."
"He may not have known the Queen's feelings before, but how could he not know after meeting her? Besides... the Heavenly Master never drinks."
Eunuch Li was shocked: "The emperor means that the Heavenly Master...he planned it, he deliberately told the Queen...but why is that?"
"Why?" The emperor patted the armrest of the dragon throne. "Of course, it's for my current position and for the country of the Great Zhou."
"But there is one thing I can't understand. If the Heavenly Master has this intention, why doesn't he take this position himself, but let Rui'er take it instead?"
Eunuch Li looked at the emperor and opened his mouth. "Your Majesty, there is actually one thing I haven't told you yet. I'm afraid you can't bear it. Besides, the secret guards only have suspicions about this matter and have no definite evidence."
