Chapter 63 Things are brewing...
Male homosexuality is not uncommon.
There aren't many cases where things get out in public.
The people around stretched their necks.
The Fourth Prince's face turned pale, "Get out of here, I don't know you!"
The man twisted his body more and more seductively, "Silang, I remember the cinnabar mole on your chest. Why are you so cruel?"
No matter whether the Fourth Prince has a cinnabar mole on his chest or not, if someone else says it, then he has it!
"This must be true. He even mentioned the mole on his chest."
"The imperial family is so ruthless. Such a good man was abandoned just like that..."
There was a lot of discussion all around, and the drunks also chased over and surrounded the Fourth Prince and the young man.
A burly man in the lead stepped forward and was about to grab the young man. "Bitch, you took my money and you want to run away without paying me back for sleeping with you?"
The pretty boy was also smart and hid behind the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince was so angry that his head was spinning. "Get out of here, you bunch of troublemakers! I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
"Hey, isn't this another pretty boy? He looks even more handsome than this boneless guy. Otherwise, if you come and sleep with me, I will let you two dogs go."
As he said this, he started to pull down the Fourth Prince's pants, while the other men touched him all over.
The people around opened their eyes wide.
It’s so exciting!
The Fourth Prince desperately held up his trousers, feeling extremely regretful about not letting the guards follow him.
"Hey, isn't this the Fourth Prince?" Gu Yao pushed through the crowd and walked over.
Seeing that the matter was accomplished, Chen Yuan retracted the knife that was against Gu Jingchu's heart and walked over quickly.
"What! This is actually the Fourth Prince? How can the current prince be so extravagant?"
"She was actually touching herself with a group of men on the street."
When they heard it was the Fourth Prince, the people around were shocked again.
Those people who had done all sorts of things to the Fourth Prince had already disappeared.
Li Ji was filled with anger and had no place to vent it. He stared at Gu Yao intently and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "You are the one who did all this?"
Gu Yao blinked at Li Ji and was about to speak when Shen Yuan walked over from a distance.
She stood in front of Gu Yao and looked at her, "Yao'er, where have you been? It's so hard for me to find you."
After saying that, he looked at Li Ji again, covered his mouth and said exaggeratedly: "Fourth Prince, were you robbed? Do you need me to report you to the police? Now this robber is also, even stripping off his pants."
There was another burst of laughter all around.
Li Ji was so angry that he rolled his eyes. He was so frightened that he fainted.
Gu Jingchu also ran over and, with a sullen face, asked the guards to carry the Fourth Prince away.
The people had had enough of the joke and dispersed, and the situation escalated quite quickly.
Soon the whole street knew that the fourth prince of the dynasty was a homosexual and had his pants pulled down in the street.
"It's what you deserve!" Gu Yao said angrily!
"Let's go back. Today's commotion will surely calm down a lot." Chen Yuan said, looking at the direction where the group of people left.
A man wearing a fox mask suddenly appeared in the light, making Shen Yuan feel inexplicably familiar.
Just as she wanted to see more clearly, the man had disappeared.
It was late at night when I returned to Shenduyuan, and the light in the study was still on.
Gu Huailing, is he still awake? Shen Yuan pushed the door open and walked in.
In the study, Gu Huailing propped up his head and looked at Shen Yuan the moment she pushed the door open.
The fox mask in the light lies quietly on the table.
Shen Yuan walked over and picked up the mask, looking at Gu Huailing in surprise, "So it's an adult."
Gu Huailing tapped his fingertips on the table. "You didn't come with me because of Yao'er? Was it because of Yao'er that you went to Ruyi Tower a few days ago?"
Since everything had been seen, Shen Yuan could only nod.
Gu Huailing sighed softly, and the sigh was particularly clear in the night. A sense of frustration arose in Gu Huailing's heart, but there was no sign of it on his face.
Chen Yuan's heart was pounding, she was afraid that Gu Huailing would ask her.
Why did he know in advance that the Fourth Prince would take action against Gu Yao?
His heart instantly weakened, and Shen Yuan coughed dryly, "Master, why don't you rest?"
Gu Huailing withdrew his gaze from the woman's face, "Madam, go to bed first. I still have official business to attend to. Don't worry about this matter. I'm still here."
Shen Yuan hummed lightly.
Gu Huailing's eyes were too dark. Even until Chen Yuan lay on the bed, those dark eyes that could see through everything were always lingering in her heart.
If she wasn't afraid that Gu Huailing would know that she was reborn and think of her as a monster, Chen Yuan would not want to hide it from him.
While daydreaming, Shen Yuan fell into a deep sleep.
News in the capital spreads the fastest.
The news that the Fourth Prince behaved disrespectfully in public and was a homosexual was spread.
The group of old men in the Censorate, who were bored to death every day, wrote memorials all night long.
The next day at court, the Censorate jointly impeached the Fourth Prince for misconduct.
Gu Huailing stood at the head of all officials.
He listened to the bickering and sarcasm between the Censorate and the Fourth Prince's faction with a calm expression and said nothing.
"Shut up!" Emperor Tiansheng said angrily.
Civil and military officials knelt on the ground.
He looked at Li Ji, who was kneeling at the front, and said angrily, "The Fourth Prince has failed to live up to his moral standards. He is under house arrest for a month."
Li Ji's face was filled with resentment, and he argued with his neck stiff, "Father, I am innocent. I don't even know those people. I beg you to investigate!"
Emperor Tiansheng looked at Li Ji with a sullen expression, "Since you refuse to obey, I will put you under house arrest for three months."
Even if this matter is not true, as a prince, being plotted against to this extent and causing the royal family to lose face shows his incompetence.
Emperor Tiansheng's illness had just improved, but today he was almost driven to illness by Li Ji's anger.
Li Ji's face turned pale and he dared not argue any further, "Your son obeys your order."
Emperor Tiansheng's gaze wandered over the faces of the courtiers. "Everyone, disperse. Shenzhi, stay."
In the imperial study, Emperor Tiansheng rubbed his brows and sighed helplessly. He had few children, and now when he looked back, there was no one behind him.
Gu Huailing stood there with his eyelids drooping.
"Shenzhi, the prince is still missing?"
"Your Majesty, I have found some clues."
A hint of anticipation slowly rose on Emperor Tiansheng's face. "You've done well, but remember, this matter can only be investigated quietly. Don't make a big fuss about it. There are too many people who don't want the Crown Prince to return."
Gu Huailing nodded, "I will do my best."
Emperor Tiansheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Has Jingchu been very close to the Fourth Brother these past few days?"
Gu Huailing's expression remained unchanged. "I will definitely discipline you when I return."
Emperor Tiansheng waved his hand, "No need, I trust you."
Trust is a test. Gu Jingchu is such a fool. Emperor Tiansheng suspects that the Fourth Prince’s accident is related to the Gu family.
Gu Huailing knelt down and said, "I will live up to your majesty's trust."
After leaving the palace, Gu Huailing ordered in a deep voice, "Take the Second Young Master to the ancestral hall to see me."
The Gu family ancestral hall was filled with smoke.
Apart from paying homage to his grandfather, Gu Huailing rarely sets foot here.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the ancestral tablet, with a lonely and aloof posture that kept people away. The incense in the room could not suppress his aura.
Gu Jingchu was brought over, and he was in a bad mood at the moment.
The Fourth Prince was unable to vent his anger on him and accused him of being useless, but he could not refute him.
"Kneel down." A cold voice came over. Gu Huailing's voice was not loud, but the oppression it caused to people was as real as substance.
