Wen Ranran considered Shen Tong's previous encounters and looked at Shen Tong in front of him in confusion.
Her intuition told her that the person behind Shen Tong might not be Xia Yanyan.
Otherwise, why is it so easy to be instigated?
Or maybe this person is fickle.
Wen Ranran thought about it again and again, and decided to stabilize the other party first.
"Okay, but you have also seen that I have a husband-in-law, so I can only make you a child!"
"..."
…
Qingyun Prince's Mansion.
Xia Lishuang was dressed in white, waving her fan and smiling harmlessly.
At his feet, an old minister in green clothes was shaking like chaff.
"Master Li is the pillar of the country, and I will not do anything to you!"
Xia Liyuan is personable.
"I didn't expect that... I would accidentally hear that you embezzled the money used to arrange the emperor's birthday three years ago..."
The old minister in Qingyi is named Li Yuan, and he is the Minister of Rites. He has always been on good terms with the prince.
But now... Li Yuan clenched his fists and his face turned pale.
He thought he had escaped from the wolf's den of Princess Dachang, but unexpectedly, he entered the tiger's mouth of Prince Qingyun's Mansion.
"Your Majesty..."
Li Yuan took a deep breath and managed to steady herself.
"Your Majesty, you might as well say what you have to say!"
…
The days passed by, and Wen Ranran was nestled in the house, listening to Jiang Tang's report.
"The Prime Minister has been keeping vigil for the eldest princess these days. The Lord of Sanluo County doesn't know yet... It is said that the Prime Minister found out that the County Lord is now living in Mr. Cheng's house and lost his temper..."
Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows silently.
Wen Yuwan didn't go home for several days, and it was really not good to live in Cheng Fenglou's house without a name or identity.
No wonder my old-fashioned father would be angry...
Wen Ranran was silent for a while, then called Qiu He.
"Go and carry a basket of lotus seeds to Jingyang Palace, just to make dad feel relieved!"
Lianzi, Lianzi, I hope that stubborn father can understand what she means.
…
On Chongning Street, a low-key and luxurious carriage passed by.
The prince was dressed in regular clothes, and he seemed to have the air of a romantic nobleman.
"Has the renovation of Ci'an Temple...been arranged properly?"
Ci'an Temple is a national temple. After the death of the emperor's biological mother, the Queen Mother Jingci, the emperor personally supervised the construction of the temple to show his filial piety.
The prince had received the renovation task a month ago.
On the side, Li Yuan, who was dressed in Tsing Yi, cupped his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness! The people at the Ministry of Industry are very strict with their mouths and will not talk nonsense!"
The prince felt relieved now.
During the silence, several people outside the car were heard talking together.
"Hey...have you heard about what happened recently?"
"I've heard about it a long time ago! Hey, I also know that some people say... In fact, the late emperor was more interested in the prince at that time..."
"But having said that...after all, the crown prince's biological mother Ji and the queen were the late emperor's appointed daughters-in-law."
"In other words, is it really possible that this throne belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"It's hard to say!"
"..."
"Master Li, did you call me here just to listen to the gossip?"
The prince was playing with the jade ring in his hand, and when he saw the look Li Yuan was looking at him, he pretended to be angry.
"How can these people slander my father?"
Li Yuan smiled, with a hint of probing in his eyes.
"Your Highness, please don't get angry. Sometimes... these rumors are not just rumors, they are the people's wishes!"
The prince was stunned for a moment, and his feigned anger retreated instantly.
Seeing this, Li Yuan hurriedly cupped his hands and whispered, "Rumors only stop at the wise, but according to my official opinion, this doesn't seem to be a rumor?"
The prince said nothing, but his eyes became darker.
Li Yuan understood immediately.
"I'm going to go check it out now!"
The prince then gave the other party a satisfied look.
The carriage sped along and arrived at the gate of the palace.
The prince did not dare to delay, and entered the imperial study all the way, only to see Xia Lishuang, Xia Liyuan, Wen Changjin, and several old ministers all kneeling in the imperial study.
The emperor's face was gloomy and unclear.
The prince looked at the emperor's face and didn't understand why the emperor was so crazy, but he still knelt down.
"My son, please see your father!"
Before he finished speaking, the rosewood paperweight on the table flew across the table with a bang and hit the prince directly on the forehead!
The emperor looked gloomy and stared at the prince.
