Chapter 90 I think you are guilty
Apart from treating Xiao Changheng's leg disease in the morning and evening, Yun Qingqing spends most of her time meditating and practicing in her own yard to accumulate spiritual energy.
She has been busy these days, preparing for the shop's affairs and often going in and out of Tianxiang Pavilion.
Tianxiang Pavilion is no longer open for business. Yun Qingqing always wears low-key casual clothes when going in and out, and everything is going smoothly.
Regent's Palace.
Xiao Changheng listened to Nan Zheng's report with a gloomy expression.
"Your Highness, it has been basically confirmed that the rumors about the princess were deliberately spread by someone. I have already sent people to investigate."
Xiao Changheng's breath suddenly turned cold. His hand on the table clearly didn't move, but the table suddenly cracked with a deep crack.
Nan Zheng wiped his sweat secretly.
Ever since the prince discovered that various rumors about the princess and brothels were circulating in the market, he has replaced three desks in the study.
Who the hell is trying to bring bad luck to the prince?
"Investigate. Within one day, I want all the rumors to disappear." Xiao Changheng said in a light tone.
But Nan Zheng understood that his master was obviously extremely angry and that was why he did this.
"Also," Xiao Changheng paused, rubbing his brow with his slender fingers, "Don't let her hear about these things, understand?"
"Yes, sir."
Three days later, Fengqi Palace.
"Empress, I don't know what's going on!" Uncle Chen said in his wheelchair, a frown on his face. "They've clearly arranged for someone to spread the scandal of the Regent Princess visiting a brothel, and even made up a lot of stories. Word should have spread quickly!"
"But to think there's no movement at all, and those thugs who took the money are nowhere to be found! Someone must be interfering!"
The Queen's face darkened slightly:
"Fool, besides the Regent, who else could be so all-powerful?"
Uncle Chen took a deep breath and said suddenly:
"Your Majesty is right. Fortunately, I arranged it secretly. Even if he tracks it down, he won't be able to trace it back to me. Your Majesty, don't worry."
The Queen snorted, "You better be."
Uncle Chen was unwilling to give in and said:
"But in this case, are we just going to let them go? The Regent Princess is constantly in and out of brothels. If such an outrageous act were to become a public outcry, it would definitely be a huge blow to the Regent!"
"Of course we can't just let it go like this!"
The Queen glanced at him and said coldly:
"Xiao Changheng is able to suppress the rumors secretly, so let's bring the matter to light!"
"Oh?" Uncle Chen's eyes lit up. "Does the Queen have any good ideas?"
The Queen curled her lips coldly:
"You do as I say and keep an eye on Yun Qingqing..."
After hearing the Queen's words, Uncle Chen smiled knowingly:
"Alright! Your Majesty, don't worry. We will definitely catch her red-handed this time and let the whole city know about the scandal at the Prince Regent's Palace!"
The Queen also sneered:
"I want to see how those two escape this time!"
…
Yun Qingqing had already calculated an auspicious day for the opening.
Finally the day arrived and everything was ready. She put on casual clothes early in the morning and went to Tianxiang Pavilion.
As soon as Yun Qingqing entered the gate of Tianxiang Pavilion, several spies who looked like passers-by on the street exchanged glances with each other.
"She really showed up again, go report it!"
"Keep an eye on this place, don't let anyone escape!"
"Oh, I know. Let's go..."
In the lobby of Tianxiang Pavilion, Mu Hongling came out to greet Yun Qingqing, and glanced outside with a frown.
"Princess, there seem to be some suspicious people hanging around these days. They might cause trouble. Do you need to deal with them?"
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly and said without any emotion:
"No need. If they want to cause trouble, let them do as much as they want."
Mu Hongling looked at her slightly raised lips and suddenly had a feeling.
Someone is about to get into big trouble.
Not long after, Chen Guojiu, who was recuperating at home, received a report from the spy.
His eyes sparkled and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I finally caught you. This time I'm going to bring this bitch and her backer, the Regent, to ruin!"
Chen Guojiu immediately had him carried out of the door, and at the same time, he spread the message everywhere as arranged long ago.
Before long, the entrance of Tianxiang Pavilion became bustling with activity.
Someone took a big gong and hit it a few times, then shouted at the top of his voice, attracting countless people to stop and watch.
"Everyone, come and see! The dignified Princess Regent is actually frequenting brothels every now and then. She has become a regular at Tianxiang Pavilion. This is simply immoral and indecent!"
"How can such a shameless woman be the princess of our dynasty? She is a disgrace to Daliang!"
More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement. Many of them looked at the closed door of Tianxiang Pavilion and asked curiously:
"Hasn't this Tianxiang Pavilion been closed for several days? Did you really see the princess go in?"
"But last time, after the entire street was put under martial law, Tianxiang Pavilion closed down the next day. I heard it was the Regent's guards who sealed the street. Sigh... now that I think about it, it's possible..."
"Why should I doubt this? We're talking about the Princess Regent. Who would be so audacious and desperate to slander her with something like this? It must be true!"
The thugs responsible for beating the gongs and promoting the event spoke incessantly and decisively, and many people gradually believed it.
"I didn't expect the Regent Princess to be such a woman."
"What kind of vision does the prince have? How could he marry such a shameless woman as his princess?"
"Alas, it's a pity that the once high-spirited prince, the God of War, is now blind and crippled. Otherwise, how could he allow his concubine to do such a vulgar thing..."
Most of the onlookers were just talking in low voices, but a few of them deliberately raised their voices and said:
"Don't jump to conclusions yet. What if this person is just talking nonsense and wrongly accusing the princess? What if we go into Tianxiang Pavilion and take a look?"
"That makes sense! Now, based on what he says, who knows if it's true? Let's go in and take a look!"
"But Tianxiang Pavilion is still closed now..."
"That's no big deal. We're just going to find out the truth, not to sleep with the girl! If the princess really isn't in there, wouldn't that just help her clarify the facts?"
"Yes, yes, if we really find the princess in there, then we will help the prince catch her in the act, hahahaha!"
"I've never seen the princess in my life. I want to go see her too..."
Instigated by a few people, a small group of people soon came forward aggressively, trying to break open the closed door of Tianxiang Pavilion and rush in to look for people.
However, at this moment, the door of Tianxiang Pavilion suddenly opened, and everyone was startled and stopped.
But then a team of black-clad guards rushed out. They didn't have swords on their waists, but all of them had unfriendly faces, staring at the people who were trying to break in with murderous eyes.
Then a naturally charming woman walked out gracefully. Many people were first dazzled by her figure, but then gasped when they saw the hideous scar on her face.
Mu Hongling gently fanned the round fan in her hand and smiled at the people who were about to rush in:
"Tianxiang Pavilion is closed for the next few days. If you guys want to use force, don't blame our boss's hired guards for being rude."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand slightly, and all the black-clad guards stepped forward in unison.
The group of people who were just getting ready to fight were frightened and retreated one after another.
At this moment, a voice snorted loudly:
"Oh, when has Tianxiang Pavilion ever had these guards? They are clearly the princess's guards! If the princess isn't in your pavilion, why would you make such a big fuss to stop them?"
"I see you're clearly guilty!"
