Chapter 268 Rumors
After they were quickly hung up, a long arrow was shot out and shot straight at them.
Accompanied by bursts of muffled groans and screams, everyone opened their eyes.
However, he was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.
At this time, all around them were "corpses" in various states of death, and some people were constantly struggling.
Of course, there are always a few that slip through the net.
And those who were left alive would inevitably be severely tortured.
The next morning, when Gu Jingchun woke up and got out of the carriage, the outside had been cleaned up and even the few survivors had been interrogated clearly.
After Gu Jingchun learned from Chen Hechuan that these people might be related to Prince Rui, his brows furrowed.
The same goes for Shen Hechuan.
"Prince Rui has made such a big move, sending wave after wave of people to kill you. I believe there must be a big move in the palace."
Shen Hechuan nodded.
Ye Wenxi also added a sentence.
"And the biggest event in the palace is nothing more than this one thing - forcing the emperor to abdicate."
They both nodded.
"It seems that we need to move faster."
Gu Jingchun said, "Don't just rush onwards, but also be mindful of dangers. There will definitely be people waiting for us on the road ahead."
“These people today are all brainless.
I guess the people waiting for us ahead won’t be so simple.”
Shen Hechuan chuckled when he heard this.
"I want to see what other tricks King Rui has."

At this time in Tiandu, an incredible rumor was spreading among the people.
"Have you heard? Everyone is saying that our current Crown Prince is not the bloodline of the current emperor."
The aunt who was buying vegetables spoke in a low voice while selecting vegetables.
"What?"
The vegetable seller exclaimed in surprise.
"How is this possible? This is the prince. Don't talk nonsense, or you'll be caught and thrown into jail."
The aunt who was buying vegetables immediately spat.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
"Don't hurt me."
"I heard it too. Go and listen. Who among the people on this street doesn't know about it?"
"This isn't necessarily false. After all, our current queen was once the fiancée of the previous crown prince. It's said they were childhood sweethearts.
If it weren't for our Majesty seizing the throne, she would have been married long ago."
"After all, they are a boy and a girl who often play together. It's not impossible that they couldn't control themselves for a moment."
"Just like Wang Cuihua in our village, she was pregnant long before she got married.
However, they had already been planning to get married, so this matter is not that difficult to accept."
The aunt selling vegetables also nodded.
"Who told you that?"
"I heard it on the street. It's all over the place now. I don't know where it came from, but it's spreading like crazy."
Princess Rongyang, who was in the crowd, stomped her feet in anger when she heard this, wishing she could kill these people right away.
However, Luo Ziqian beside her stopped her in time.
"Princess, don't be impulsive. This matter is of great importance. You must not move, lest you get involved and fall into someone else's trap."
Princess Rongyang was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"Should we let them plot against my mother and my brother the Crown Prince like this?"
"They actually talked about the current empress and the crown prince. I may not kill them, but I can definitely put them in jail."
Luo Ziqian: "Princess, look at how many people are on this street. Are you going to arrest everyone?"
"Even if you want to catch me, this prison won't let me go!"
Princess Rongyang looked at the people coming and going on the street and gritted her teeth in anger.
"This won't work, and that won't work either. So what do you think we should do?"
Luo Ziqian thought for a moment.
"This incident must have been the work of someone with ulterior motives. They are taking advantage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's absence from Tiandu to make a big move. Now that I have been transferred by His Majesty, I must leave the city immediately."
"So, Your Highness, now you can only help the Crown Prince."
Princess Rongyang also knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded immediately.
"Princess, you must return to the palace now and tell the Empress everything that has happened here. You must also keep an eye on the news from the palace. If anything goes wrong, please inform me. Is it possible?"
Princess Rongyang nodded.
"Then...then how should I give you the news?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian handed a whistle to Princess Rongyang.
"Princess, just blow this whistle. My people will hear the whistle and contact you."
Princess Rongyang nodded, then took the whistle and hurried into the palace.
After Princess Rongyang entered the palace, she immediately went to Jingyu Palace.
At this time, Jiang Xianhao was embroidering by the window.
When she saw Princess Rongyang running towards her, she immediately put down what she was holding and stood up.
"Slow down, what happened? Why are you so panicked?"
Princess Rongyang immediately threw herself into Jiang Xianhao's arms and told him everything she had heard outside the palace today.
Jiang Xianhao's face remained calm when he heard this.
"I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just someone spreading rumors while your brother was away from Tiandu."
"It's not a big deal, don't worry."
As she spoke, she carefully comforted Princess Rongyang until she calmed down. Then she spoke:
"Ayang, you are grown up now. You must listen to your brother in the future. Don't be so petty like before, and don't cause trouble for your brother, the Crown Prince.
In this way, your brother will surely love you as much as your mother does."
Rong Yang snorted in grievance.
"Mother, what are you talking about? I've always listened to my brother, but it's him who's been so cold to me. I told him he was just jealous of me, jealous that you loved me, but you didn't believe me."
Jiang Xianhao paused for a moment, and his voice became a little deeper.
"Your brother has had a hard time these past few years. You must love him more in the future, okay?"
Princess Rongyang nodded indifferently.
"Don't worry, my brother has people who love him by his side now. Even if I go now, he might chase me out!"
Princess Rongyang couldn't help but hold her chin with both hands as she spoke and looked at Jiang Xianhao.
"Mother, I think my brother really likes Gu Jingchun."
"Also, I...even though Gu Jingchun can be annoying sometimes, I also like her. I don't know when the emperor will agree for them to be together."
"Yes! Gu Jingchun is indeed a good girl."
Jiang Xianhao smiled when he heard that.
"What about you, Ayang?"
"Do you like Luo Ziqian very much?"
Jiang Xianhao's words made Princess Rongyang blush instantly.
"Mother," she said coquettishly, throwing herself directly into Jiang Xianhao's arms.
