Gu Anxian's face turned pale. She couldn't bear the humiliation and despair. She didn't know where she got the strength from, so she stood up and hit the wall.
King Jing narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to signal.
A figure in black clothes passed behind him and appeared in front of Gu Anxian like lightning. He raised his hand to block her way: "Miss Gu."
"Ah!" Gu Anxian hit her forehead on the arm of the man in black, was bounced back by inertia, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Of course, she didn't die, but endless darkness and fear surrounded her. Gu Anxian couldn't stop trembling all over, and she felt that there was darkness in front of her eyes.
She couldn't believe it, didn't want to believe it, and simply couldn't accept the fact before her.
Yesterday she was the noble daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister, but today she is having an affair with someone...
"Enter the palace." King Jing looked at her coldly, "Before Miss Gu seeks death, she should first think about whether the prime minister can accept the shame of his daughter humiliating him and committing suicide out of fear of guilt."
After that, he turned around and left.
The guards brought Mu Wenxuan and Gu Anxian into the palace.
The incident was very noisy. Although there were not many guests in Fengming Tower at this time, the incident of catching an adulterer during the day was sensational news, especially since one of the protagonists in the incident was a child of the royal family and the other was the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister.
In an instant, a turbulent wave was set off in the imperial city——
Of course, "turbulent waves" is just a description, among which the most people watch the good show.
The news spread from ten to ten, causing a much greater sensation than the fact that Yan Li's engagement was broken off by the prince, and it soon became known to everyone.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is naturally no exception.
"Madam!" The maid ran back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a panic, her face pale as if the sky was about to fall, "Madam, Madam! Something bad is going to happen!"
Mrs. Gu frowned and yelled: "What are you shouting about? The sky is falling?"
"My innocence is shattered." The maid knelt on the ground, crying, "Madam, Miss...Miss, she..."
Mrs. Gu's expression changed, and she realized that the maid kneeling on the ground was Xiao Tao next to her daughter: "What's wrong, Miss? What happened?"
"The young lady had a tryst with Prince Xuan of Prince Yu's Mansion at Fengming Tower... No, no, Mr. Xuan, the two of them... the two of them..."
Mrs. Gu's body trembled, and she thought she heard wrongly: "What did you say?"
Xiaotao cried and repeated her words: "Miss, she was ruined by Prince Xuan..."
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Gu's face was livid, she raised her hand and gave Xiaotao a slap in the face, "Miss, you are fine, you dare to ruin her reputation? Someone, drag her out and beat her to death with sticks!"
"Madam! Madam!" Xiao Tao cried and begged for mercy, her voice was shrill and frightening, "I didn't lie, Miss, she is really in Fengming Tower! Very... many people know it, wuwuwu... I don't dare to talk nonsense...
…”
Mrs. Gu felt weak all over and almost couldn't stand.
No, it's impossible.
This little bitch must be lying. Xian'er has always been the most knowledgeable, gentle and elegant, and pays more attention to her own reputation. How could it be possible...how could it be possible...
However, when her eyes fell on Xiao Tao's face that didn't look fake at all, Mrs. Gu suddenly felt a strong uneasiness.
Isn’t this the sky falling?
"Come quickly!" She turned her head and roared uncontrollably, "Follow me to Fengming Tower!"
The Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos.
Prime Minister Gu had not returned from the court at this time, so Mrs. Gu hurriedly arrived at Fengming Tower with her maids and guards. People were already surrounding Fengming Tower.
"I heard that the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion ignored the emperor's marriage and had a private meeting with her lover here in broad daylight... Tsk, what the Prime Minister's Mansion is doing is going to shake the earth..."
Mrs. Gu's steps were stiff and she stared blankly at the crowd in front of her. Why were there so many people outside Fengming Tower?
"Hasn't the daughter-in-law of the Gu family always admired the Ninth Prince? I didn't hear that she fell in love with another man."
"The Ninth Prince went to visit the Jewelry Pavilion with Princess Nanyang today. They were extremely affectionate. Is Miss Gu so jealous that she just went to a random person..."
"Who knows. The legitimate daughter of the Gu family has always been a pure, pure and talented woman. Unexpectedly... Alas, poor King Jing has become the laughing stock of the imperial city as soon as he was given a marriage. He will definitely not let it go this time."
"Hush, the Prime Minister's wife is here!"
I don't know who discovered Mrs. Gu first. After he reminded her, the others turned to look at Mrs. Gu, and the discussion stopped for a while.
The unabashed contempt, ridicule, sympathy, pity in their eyes... made Mrs. Gu's whole body feel cold, and her feet seemed to be filled with lead, and she could hardly step forward.
Why so many people?
Where did they come from? Did Xian'er really have a private meeting with someone in Fengming Tower? Did these people get the news early and find out the truth here?
"What nonsense are you talking about here?" Mrs. Gu walked closer, turned around and looked around at the busy faces in front of her, and said sternly, "My Xian'er is dignified, virtuous, smart and polite, and will never have a private meeting with a man!"
The crowd of people watching heard the words and whispered to each other.
"Madam Xiang, you should take your daughter out first. Whether there is a private meeting with someone or not is not the lady's final decision. It also depends on the facts."
"Yeah, hahaha..."
"But I heard that the daughter-in-law of the prime minister's house is very beautiful and talented. Whoever is lucky enough to marry such a woman is considered lucky for the rest of his life."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Mrs. Gu turned livid with anger and pointed at the group of people, "Who are you? Are you here deliberately to ruin my daughter's honor? I will definitely let the Prime Minister
I will find out the truth and put you all in jail!"
As the words fell, time stood still for a moment.
Suddenly someone said: "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Only then did other people realize that the excitement of the Prime Minister's daughter was not that nice to watch, and it was not worth losing their lives just to watch the excitement.
So everyone quickly dispersed like birds and beasts.
"Mrs. Gu." The owner of the restaurant came out and bowed in greeting, "His Royal Highness King Jing brought Mr. Xuan and Miss Gu into the palace, but he is not in Fengming Tower now."
Enter the palace?
Mrs. Gu's blood flowed all over her body, and she looked up stiffly at the shopkeeper of Fengminglou: "Prince Jing?"
The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, King Jing got the news and came to Fengming Tower in person, saying that he needed Miss Gu to give him an explanation, and brought Mr. Xuan and Miss Gu into the palace."
Mrs. Gu felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
It's over, it's all over.
Not only did King Jing know about it, but he even brought it up in front of the emperor. Xian'er's life was ruined... If something like this happened at this juncture, the emperor would definitely be furious.
