All that could be heard was Feng Guche's cold voice: "Li Tong, immediately summon Princess Weiyang to the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking...
Lu Wei suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Shuang'er is not in the Marquis's residence now; she should be at Yaoguang Residence."
Suddenly.
Feng Guche's pupils dilated slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Yaoguang Residence?"
“Shuang’er has been leaving very early every day these past two days. I happened to go to Liuguangfang yesterday and saw Shuang’er coming out of Yaoguangju, so I think Shuang’er should be inside Yaoguangju now.”
Lu Wei's explanation shocked everyone.
It is said that Crown Prince Junheng and Prince Xiaoyao have a close relationship, but ever since Crown Prince Junheng stood up for Mu Chenshuang at His Majesty's birthday banquet, it has inevitably led to speculation.
Lu Wei's words today made them even more convinced that there must be something fishy going on between Mu Chenshuang and Crown Prince Junheng.
A woman who has recently divorced is constantly running to other men's residences; she has absolutely no shame and is ruining the reputation of the Marquis's mansion.
"This is truly an eye-opener for me. In broad daylight, Princess Weiyang is secretly meeting with a man. Could it be that the two of them have some unspeakable secret that gives Princess Weiyang the confidence to divorce Crown Prince Lan?"
Consort Rong said jokingly.
Only she would dare to say something like this without any evidence.
But her words made people realize that it was not impossible. Crown Prince Junheng was an outstanding man, the most handsome man in Xuanzhou Continent, with unparalleled good looks and extraordinary intelligence. Compared with him, Crown Prince Lan was far inferior.
He was the dream lover of countless women.
Mu Chenshuang was able to break off her engagement with General Shen and was determined to marry Crown Prince Lan. Now, she could very well fall in love with Crown Prince Junheng.
Could it be that she had been having an affair with Crown Prince Junheng all along, which is why she insisted on a divorce? Considering that Crown Prince Junheng came to her rescue that day, it makes people even more certain that Mu Chenshuang had cheated on her husband and was not a virtuous woman.
"Consort Rong, you're spreading rumors about Princess Weiyang and Crown Prince Junheng based solely on your speculations. What will you do if the truth is not so?"
The Empress questioned him sternly.
Consort Rong smiled dismissively, "Your Majesty, this concubine is merely making a reasonable guess. If the truth is not so, then once it is explained, it will save everyone from further speculation."
This means that even if the facts are not true, she bears no responsibility.
"Consort Rong is good at making excuses for her own words. She can hurt others with malicious words and then clear herself of all responsibility with a simple explanation. Does that mean that in the future, if Consort Rong slanders someone, she can also clear herself of all responsibility with a simple explanation?"
The empress's calm tone conveyed an air of authority.
Consort Rong's expression changed, and she was about to say something when Feng Guche said with a gloomy face, "What's all the noise about!"
The Empress and Consort Rong fell silent.
Everyone held their breath, clearly feeling that Feng Guche's aura had become even more oppressive and terrifying.
Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi lowered their heads and remained silent, feeling extremely smug. Their Emperor probably harbored the same suspicions about Mu Chenshuang.
Just as Feng Guche was instructing the eunuch to go to Yaoguang Residence.
A deep, magnetic voice, carrying a sense of oppression, came from behind, "I had no idea that Consort Rong was so adept at guessing others."
A moment.
Consort Rong felt a tightness in her chest, as if a hand was gripping her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Everyone's thoughts were pulled back, and they looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a stunningly handsome man walking briskly towards them.
