fake prince

Chapter 844

Prince Lu's Mansion

"My lord, my concubine is really wronged!" Several servants knelt on the ground, all of them raining pear blossoms. Among them, Yuan Xuan was the one who cried the most. She slapped her face, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and her skin was as tender as milk tofu. In terms of appearance, she is only above average, but this skin that breaks easily is very rare, and has always been loved by the prince, so she has been ranked alongside Chen Xuanshi as the most favored concubine in recent months.

But now, not only did her face wear out from crying, her hair was messed up, but she also had a slap on her left face, which was swollen to a high degree. There was also a little blood on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

Because she was suspected before, the people around her and those close to her were not only interrogated, but also tortured. One of her personal maids was even beaten to death.

Her bloody horror made Yuan Xuanshi faint at that time.

Now that she is awake, she is crying and calling for grievances. She is not crying in a slapstick way, but is looking at the man sitting in the middle with mournful eyes. And poignant.

The other servants were also unwilling to lag behind, and no one wanted to show their guilt at this moment, and crying became a kind of catharsis and a statement.

As concubines of the royal family, most of them have been trained to know how to cry to make men feel distressed, and they cry very well. As one of the concubines, Chen Xuan even has tears rolling down one by one. Come here, the ability to reveal pain and despair just by looking at it.

"My lord!"

"My lord, my concubine is really wronged!"

"Okay!" Distraught by their crying, King Lu slapped the table and drank.

This sound made these women shut up.

They looked at the prince in panic. King Lu held the power of life and death for them. If they were really cruel, they could only roll up their mats and go to the graveyard to end up.

Seeing his women all sad and begging to come over, King Lu's head hurt even more, he wandered a few steps distractedly, and sighed in his heart: "I'm still not as good as King Qi, or even King Shu."

If it was King Qi, no matter whether this kind of thing is true or not, if there is doubt, he may be killed.

Most of the king of Shu would express his understanding and disbelief, and secretly snubbed him, and "died of illness" after a while.

But King Lu himself is not a murderer. Although he is not obsessed with female sex, these servants are indeed selected into the mansion according to his preferences. They all say that a couple is a hundred days of kindness every day. After a long time, how can they have no feelings?

If there is real evidence, that's all, I really can't do anything about this kind of pretentiousness, and send them to the underworld.

Thinking about it carefully, it was really impulsive to make such a fuss tonight. It really shouldn't be the thought of the rumors about the Shuiyun Temple that would get hot in the head and interrogate wantonly.

If you take it slowly, the trouble will not be so big.

King Lu waved his hands and said coldly, "You all stand down!"

"...Yes!" The selected servants froze for a moment, hurriedly got up one after another, blessed King Lu, and retreated as quickly as a frightened bird or beast.

Most of the maids and servants who followed them were still in custody, but they couldn't care less, some of them staggered a few steps and almost fell, but they didn't care about the ugliness, and rushed to retreat.

King Lu got up and took a few steps, then stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, watching them hurry out with heavy eyes.

The blood in the courtyard had been washed away by the servants, and there was still a fishy smell in the air. Thinking about the Shuiyun Temple, King Lu was still worried, frowned, and sat back on the chair.

He pressed his eyebrows in distress: people always have feelings, these women have been with him for several years, and they have no clear reason to steal, what should we do now?

They were all killed, not to mention whether he could bear it in his heart, but if he talked about the movement in this mansion, he might not be able to hide it from outsiders.

"My lord." Gui Junxi, who was sitting next to him, had been silent, but now he began to persuade: "Actually, you don't need to worry about this matter."

"How do you say it?" King Lu looked over.

Gui Junxi lowered his eyes and pondered for a while: "My lord, Sandong Niangniang has always been famous, and many people have visited Shuiyun Temple to ask for a son. Who knew it was a den of prostitution, and they can't be blamed for going to offer incense."

"Besides, Shuiyun Temple has a bad reputation now. People who have been there are told that, let alone nothing, even if there is something, they can only cover it up and deal with it later."

"This is also to prevent someone from dragging you into it. The situation in the capital is not simple now. The king was ordered to deal with the shrine, but there has been no movement..."

The following words are not exhaustive, but the meaning is very clear.

The matter of the Shuiyun Temple involves all the female family members of the palace, one or two are easy to deal with, and it’s fine if they die of illness, and they are placed in the back houses of the rich and powerful in the capital. Can't even swing a splash.

But removing all the concubines except the concubine, doesn't this mean announcing to the world that something happened in King Lu's backyard, and King Lu was put on a blue hat?

What's more, the concubine also went to offer incense, which made it easy for the concubine to die of illness. Princess Lu is the main concubine on the royal family tree. Could it be possible for the concubine to die of illness as well?Obviously not!

Furthermore, even if King Lu himself is considered a victim in this matter, it will be a lot of fun if the label of the blue hat king is affixed.

I'm afraid that if someone sees King Lu again, the first reaction will not be that King Lu has a chest and the wealth of Qianlong, but that King Lu's head is green.

Why doesn't King Lu know about this?

He pressed the center of his brows again, a little gloomy: "Yes, sir is right, this matter can only be temporarily suppressed, and that's the only way to go."

As he spoke, his heart softened again, and he sighed: "I have questioned all the selected servants today, and they are afraid that they will be panicked, so let's calm down in a few days."

Seeing that Gui Junxi didn't answer, he was a little surprised: "I'm wrong?"

"No, what your majesty said is quite right. This is the heart of benevolence..." Gui Junxi sighed inwardly, a little dissatisfied but also a little relieved.

If you are a Mingjun, you can have more women, but you can't be infatuated, and you can't be affectionate.

Putting it in the hands of the emperor, I am afraid that he will be given to death immediately.

But this is also an advantage, so that the king and his subjects can feel at ease, otherwise, no one can bear the life of walking on thin ice and getting offended at every turn.

Just thinking about it, his eyes swept over, and suddenly he was startled, and his face changed.

Why, why did King Lu lose most of his aura in an instant?

This situation was too weird, Gui Junxi was unprepared, he was caught off guard, a strong crisis arose in his heart, and he immediately recalled the conversation carefully. It is said that although King Lu was a little impulsive at the beginning, he was only interrogating the servant girl in the mansion Concubine, she didn't do anything outside the mansion, so as long as this matter is pressed at this time, it shouldn't have any influence.

Could it be that something happened outside the mansion now?Something happened to Shuiyun Temple?

But how big a deal would it be to cut off most of King Lu's nobility at once?

What is a mere Shuiyun Temple?

Gui Junxi couldn't figure it out at all for a moment, and Gui Junxi suddenly felt palpitations.
