   Chapter 512 Gathering (2)

   Gathering's Confession!

   In the Wenhua Hall, there was a crisp sound.

   A piece of fine jade paperweight flew straight out, hit the pillar, slammed to the ground, and shattered.

   Eunuch Liu and the other servants, all silent, all knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The slaves deserve ten thousand deaths, please calm down the emperor's anger."

  Emperor Yongjia was breathing rapidly and unsteadily, his chest was heaving, his face was blue with anger, and sparks were almost spurting out of his eyes: "Damn! Whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will take his head off!"

   "Eunuch Liu, I ordered you to investigate immediately and find out where the rumors came from within a day. I can't spare him!"

   Emperor Yongjia became annoyed the more he thought about it, and kicked the chair over.

   The dignified son was rumored to be sleeping with a woman with his son... What a slap in the face, like a loud slap in the face, slapped heavily on his face.

  I don't know how many people are talking behind the scenes to watch the fun.

  Emperor Yongjia was so angry that Eunuch Liu dared to talk more and persuade him, so he hurriedly retreated.

   After exiting the Wenhua Palace, Eunuch Liu straightened up, called a few servants over, and ordered them to go down one by one.

   One of the servants whispered with an embarrassed look on his face: "Eunuch Liu, it's not that the servants are evading errands. It's just that the servants are in the palace on weekdays. Even if they leave the palace, they are blinded. How can we investigate such things?"

   Another servant also sighed: "Yeah, if you want the servants to tell me, this errand should be handed over to the Royal Forest Army. Most of them are children of nobles, they have a wide network of people, and they are familiar with all parts of the capital..."

   Before he could finish speaking, Eunuch Liu had a sullen face: "How dare you shirk the errand ordered by the emperor! You don't want any more heads on your head! If you dare to talk more, I will reply to the emperor!"

   Several servants immediately bowed their heads and took orders.

   Waiting for Eunuch Liu to return to his life, several of the chief servants looked at each other and sighed together.

"This kind of thankless thing, let us go to the top of the tank!" A servant whispered bitterly: "It was supposed to be the errand of the guards of the royal forest. Tell me, we are all servants with no roots. When you go out of the palace, no one can see it. Let's check the source of the rumors, who will tell the truth."

   "Isn't it? This involves the emperor and the newly entered palace, Su Guiren, as well as the third prince outside the palace. Maybe, it also involves the East Palace... Whoever gets involved is unlucky."

   "Don't say such things. Didn't you hear what Eunuch Liu just said? If we talk more, we have to eat and hang up first."

   "Forget it, count us as unlucky. Don't talk about it, hurry up and leave the palace. The emperor is in a fit of anger. Once you ask, we won't have an explanation.

   "Speaking of which, the rumors are ruthless enough. Even the slander of Ju Feng has been spread out. This is lest the emperor not be embarrassed enough."

   "The third prince was unlucky. He tried his best to send the beauties into the harem, trying to please the emperor and plotting for the future. It's good now, it's been rumored like this."

   "In my opinion, the most unlucky person in Yihua Palace is Su Guicai. This kind of thing happened before the freshness and enthusiasm had passed. After the emperor went to Yihua Palace, he would not respond!"

   "You said, who would have done this? Could it be the East Palace..."

"Bah, bah, bah! Keep your mouth shut! You dare to guess about things that don't have a shadow. His Royal Highness is not in the capital, and all the officials have gone to Zheng County. The concubine and the concubine are so dedicated to raising the baby that they don't even have the East Palace. I've been out. What does this have to do with the East Palace?"

   "Take a step back, even if there is some connection, we have to wait until we find the real evidence. Otherwise, it is just instigating the emperor and the East Palace. We can't afford such crimes."

   The chief servants muttered and went away without mentioning them.

  …

  The mansion of the third prince was also cloudy.

  The people in the inner servant palace can't wait to put their heads into their chests, and walk on tiptoes, lest they attract the attention of the master.

  Meng Yunluo was so angry that she didn't eat for a day.

   The dowry maid by her side, Wanxiu, persuaded her with red eyes, "If the maiden gets angry again, she has to take care of her body. The maiden has just been happy, so don't let the anger out of your fetus."

   Meng Yunluo has been looking forward to it, and finally she is looking forward to being pregnant again. In addition, Su Rou entered the palace smoothly, and she was in a good mood. I never thought that in just a few days, the rumors had spread all over the world.

Meng Yunluo's eyes were red with anger, and she choked up: "These rotten things, talk nonsense. Your Highness and Su Guiren are cousins, and they are innocent from beginning to end. How do you deal with your father?"

   Even she was so angry, the reaction of Emperor Yongjia in the palace can be imagined.

  Wanxiu wiped the tears of her master with a handkerchief, and sighed: "My lady is not happy, and my servants are also uncomfortable. But it's already like this, you have to think about it."

   "Su Guiren is innocent, and the emperor knows it best. Such rumors are just not good-looking. In fact, it doesn't hurt His Highness in the slightest."

   Meng Yunluo hated: "What do you know. That's the way it is, it's even more hateful. The emperor and His Royal Highness understand it, but others don't. Can't you explain it one by one?"

  Why doesn't Wanxiu understand?

  The rumors are stained with peach color, and they are already talked about by people. Now that the father and son of the Tian family are involved again, they are even more eager to talk behind their backs.

   Now even the people in the market are saying "two or three things that the emperor and the third prince, Su Guiren, have to say". Rumors spread to this, like a lump of feces on the face, how can it be wiped clean? Even if it was barely wiped clean, it stinks completely.

  Li Hao's good reputation, which he worked hard for several years, was ruined.

   The person behind this shot is really fierce.

  Wanxiu sighed in her heart, and she had to persuade her master not to worry in every possible way.

   In the evening, Li Hao came out of the study. Several staff members looked solemn and dispersed. Li Hao's face was also extremely ugly.

   Meng Yunluo greeted her with red eyes, and before she opened her mouth, Li Hao said, "I want to enter the palace."

  Meng Yunluo was startled, but she couldn't help crying and wiping her tears: "The royal father is definitely angry. Even if His Highness wants to explain, it will take two days."

   "It will be too late in two days." Li Hao suppressed the anger in his heart, and his voice was solemn: "I will enter the palace now."

   paused, then comforted Meng Yunluo: "You are pregnant, and your priority is to take care of your baby. These things are a bit ugly on the face, but they won't hurt me at all. You don't have to worry too much."

   Meng Yunluo sniffed and nodded.

  Li Hao stepped out of the house and rode on a steed.

   Li Chang's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Third brother, wait for me, I will enter the palace with you."

  Li Hao turned his head and glanced at Li Chang: "No. You stay in the house and don't go out to cause trouble. I'll be back soon." After speaking, he rode away.

   Li Hao galloped all the way and quickly entered the palace.

   Wherever he passed along the way, the guards of the royal forest or the palace servants saluted more respectfully, and their eyes became more subtle.

  Li Hao: "..."
