Everyone looked at each other.
After a while, someone said, "That seems to be... the young master of Guangcheng Marquis's Mansion."
Guangcheng Bo? Guangcheng Bo's wife had only two daughters, and her son was born out of wedlock.
The most crucial thing is that when in the palace, Zhao Xiangning, the eldest daughter of the Guangcheng Earl, made a fuss about admiring the moon, and was then sent to the family temple.
Prince Chun asked anxiously, "Where are they?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Princess Chun said, "I asked someone to take her to change clothes."
Princess Chun hated Yan Shiyue, so she had a good impression of the little boy who caused her to fall into the water, and she even asked someone to take him to change his clothes.
Mrs. Zhou, the wife of the Marquis of Guangcheng, has always been a very good person. She appears to be very caring towards the concubines' sons and daughters. Today, because it is the hundred-day banquet and everyone brought their children, she also brought her concubine's son Tong'er.
When she first heard that the bastard fell into the water and was rescued by Yan Shiyue, she was already shocked. Then, when she saw Yan Shiyue's appearance, her heart sank. At least in the end, Yan Shiyue spit out the water. She was terrified, but she didn't dare to leave.
Princess Chun asked someone to take the child to change clothes, and Zhou was also with her. When she asked, Zhou was shocked...
...
...
The little boy kept saying, "The evil woman harmed my sister! Tong'er wants to avenge my sister!"
Zhou never expected this. She was so frightened that she no longer cared about etiquette and hurriedly took her child to find Guangcheng Bo to report the news.
As soon as he left the room, Prince Chun came over with his men in a hurry and said, "Wait!" He looked at the child and said, "Tell me, did you stab His Highness?"
Zhou didn't care about much else and quickly stood in front of him, saying anxiously: "What are you talking about, Your Highness? Our Tong'er just fell into the water accidentally. Thank you for saving my life, Your Highness..."
Prince Chun had no intention of arguing with her, so he just waved his hand and said, "Pull away!"
The subordinates rushed forward and pulled them apart.
Zhou was really anxious. If it was an accident, it would be fine. But if she admitted the crime, even Guangcheng Bo would be in trouble!
She shrieked, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Even if you are worried about His Highness, you can't just frame a child!"
Prince Chun ignored her and lifted the child aside like a chicken: "Is it you? You stabbed her, didn't you?" He said coldly: "If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"
The little boy started crying out of fear: "She is an evil woman! My sister said she has ruined her life, she deserves to die! Tong'er wants to avenge my sister!"
Prince Chun's face was extremely dark, and he ordered his men to take her away, and tie up the child as well.
Zhou kept screaming and struggling, but seeing that it was useless, she trembled and said, "Where is our uncle! Please ask the prince to call our uncle over!"
Prince Chun ignored him and watched as they tied up the child. He then carried the child himself and went to find Yan Chengyuan.
At this time, the Dragon Guard also fished out a dagger from the cold pond. It looked like the one used by children for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony. It was inlaid with gems and looked very gorgeous, but it had a blade and was very sharp.
As soon as Prince Chun told the story, Yan Chengyuan looked at Tong'er coldly and said, "Keep investigating. How could a child do all this?"
Prince Chun had no hope of luck, so he agreed quickly and looked for people one by one.
Guangcheng Bo took advantage of the situation and came in to talk to Zhou. He also wanted to talk to Tong'er, but before he took a step, the Dragon Guards blocked his way.
Guangcheng Bo didn't dare to say anything. He quickly retreated and sought advice from someone.
Wei Bo also came out. She said, "Our master is afraid of the cold, and I dare not leave alone, so I asked someone to help inform the Dragon Guards to bring the master's cloak over, but he never came back. Another person asked to get the princess's cloak over, and it was very close, so I went with her. After they went in, they kept asking for this and that, and they spent a quarter of an hour without picking out anything. Then I heard noises outside, and ran out."
The more Prince Chun investigated, the more disappointed he felt.
I’m afraid he can’t clean himself up from this matter.
He inferred that it was possible that someone who was familiar with him knew that he liked to show off Hantan, so they set up the trap. But no matter how you look at it, he seemed to be an insider or even the leader in this matter.
You have to know that the problem lies with the servants around him, and not just one, but two!
But when Prince Chun hurriedly asked people to look for the two servants, they were nowhere to be found.
In the end, they only found Princess Chun's maid, named Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang was so scared that she cried, "My Lord, I don't know anything. I really don't know anything!"
Prince Chun said angrily: "I don't know why you are stalling!"
Xiao Zhang cried, "Please forgive me, my lord. The princess has never liked your highness. Songzhu came and said that your highness wanted to borrow some clothes and winked at me, so I deliberately delayed for a while. I really don't know anything!"
Prince Chun said angrily, "How dare you deny it!" He knew in his heart that this was 90% true, but there were so many people outside, so he could only try his best to make up for it: "It's obvious that you colluded with others and deliberately framed His Highness! Drag her away!"
Xiao Zhang was so frightened that she didn't care about anything else. "I dare not lie! The princess said that Your Highness was flirting with the prince and was shameless. She said she would make her suffer if she had the chance..."
Prince Chun was completely stunned and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
He really didn’t dare to think that if this matter was related to Princess Chun…if it was related to her, then it would really be over…”
There were people everywhere in and outside the courtyard. Prince Chun, as the owner, was already a huge suspect and did not dare to avoid being interrogated. As a result, no one knew how many people heard this sentence.
This is what we call one wave after another. For a moment, even the discussions outside stopped.
Prince Chun's forehead was covered with sweat.
But when it really came to this, he was desperate. While ordering people to call Princess Chun, he said coldly: "Who dares to make up such an outrageous rumor? Who did the princess hear it from!?"
Xiao Zhang cried, "Princess...Princess, at first, she was very happy when she heard that the prince had been promoted to a higher rank. But when she heard that he went with His Highness, she became unhappy. She said that a woman like His Highness would definitely take the opportunity to seduce the prince. Later, when the prince came back and mentioned His Highness again, the princess said that the prince's soul had been seduced away by a little goblin..."
She was crying and talking at the same time, and her words were incoherent.
Prince Chun felt a little relieved. It was just the jealous women in the inner house.
At this moment, someone outside said loudly, "I have really seen how you can confuse right and wrong and be so ungrateful!"
It was Xu Wenqu.
"That's right!" Someone else said, "After following His Highness to suppress the rebels and gaining a higher rank, he now talks behind your back and tarnishes your reputation. How despicable! He repays kindness with hatred!"
It was Li Zhengting, the Minister of Dali Temple.
"If the inner chambers are not maintained, it will lead to disaster and chaos!"
It’s Sun Xuancheng.
Xu Wenqu added, "And those gossipy women! Your Highness was trying to save people! She could have stayed out of it, but she got caught up in it just to save people! How dare you be so mean and slanderous, you are really vicious and worse than beasts!"
