The powerful prince and princess who dotes on the world is pregnant again

Xia Rende was so angry that he stopped eating breakfast and hurriedly went to court to see what was going on.

This matter must be resolved early, and such rumors cannot continue to damage the prince's reputation.

King Xiu also went to the morning court, and ministers began to talk about it.

"Your Majesty, I came to the morning court today and passed by the market. I heard some rumors outside,"

"Oh, what kind of rumors need to be told in court,"

Emperor Ren was also curious. It had been a long time since these ministers had spoken so proactively. Let's see what evil words they were going to say this time.

"There are rumors among the neighbors that in order to treat his illness, the prince asked a girl to make a medicine introduction and make medicine, and he has been doing this for many years."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

Everyone looked at the prince and then at Emperor Ren with strange eyes.

But Emperor Ren looked calm, as if he didn't hear anything.

Emperor Ren looked at Duke Dingguo, and then slowly looked at the prince.

The prince stood below, his expression unchanged, but Taifu Zheng changed.

"It's ridiculous, it's simply slanderous. How could such a rumor come out? Your Majesty, we must investigate it thoroughly. The prince is kind-hearted and treats the people well, how could he do such a thing."

"Yes, yes, if it is true that the medicine is made, then why didn't the prince's illness get better soon?"

"Yes, the prince's health only started to improve last year, and it's all thanks to Princess Xiu,"

Duke Dingguo stood up and said, "Nothing comes out of nowhere. This matter requires further investigation."

Duke Dingguo glanced at the prince coolly, and then at King Xiu.

Noticing their calm expressions, Dingguo Gong laughed in his heart.

After all the ministers became agitated, Emperor Ren began to speak.

The majesty in his voice was inviolable: "Prince, do you have anything to say?"

The prince who was named stood up, with a tall and straight posture, a jade tree facing the wind, and a dignified majesty between his brows.

The current prince is completely different from the previous prince.

"Father, my son and I don't know about this, but Mr. Li actually heard someone say, can this person be caught?"

Mr. Li, who spoke just now, shook his head at the prince, "I have never caught anyone, but there are indeed rumors in the neighborhood that are unfavorable to the prince."

"I believe that Mr. Li's ears are fine."

Mr. Li choked, but said nothing. He shot the first bird. He had already stretched out the top of his hair, but he did not dare to stretch it out anymore.

Otherwise, the neck is in danger.

Emperor Ren's face turned dark, "Has anyone heard the rumors outside?"

Xia Rende glanced at King Xiu and found that he was calm and not worried at all.

Forget it, it's not his turn to worry.

The legs that were stretched out were retracted.

Duke Dingguo glanced at Mr. Li, and then said to Emperor Ren: "Your Majesty, in the case of the girl's disappearance, the Jingzhao Mansion has caught the culprit, but why has the case not been closed?"

Emperor Ren looked at Fang Zhong, this guy is so active today, is he doing something fishy again?

But there is no movement from the imperial concubine?

The governor of Jingzhao Mansion stood up: "Your Majesty, the murderer has indeed been caught, but there are still some doubts that have not been clarified, so the case has not been closed. We must close the case as soon as possible and give an explanation to the people."

"Well, I remember that the Ministry of Punishment and Prince Xiu also helped investigate this matter. I hope you can work together to solve this case."

After Emperor Ren finished speaking, he looked at Fang Zhong again,

He also raised his eyebrows, as if to say: Tell me if you have anything else to say.

Emperor Ren looked around and found that no one was talking.

At this time, King Xiu stood up and said, "Father, I have something important to report."

"Report,"

"I believe everyone has heard about the case of the Shu family in Licheng some time ago. At that time, the Ministry of Punishment had not found any results, but recently it has found some clues."

Fang Zhong was shocked. What did King Xiu mean when he mentioned this matter?

Just listen: "A large amount of the Shu family's property has been taken over by one person, and this person is Fang Yu, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo."

The ministers were in an uproar again. What do you mean? How does the eldest son of Dingguo Gong have anything to do with the Shu family?

"Second brother, is there any evidence for this matter? You can't fabricate it out of thin air." King Xuan asked,

He had been standing in the crowd just now and said nothing.

Only then did he ask more questions when he heard about the Dingguo Palace.

"Third brother, the king's people have found out, and Prince Fang is not in the capital,"

Duke Dingguo's face was ashen, he did not expect that King Xiu would find out about this matter.

King Xuan understood a different meaning from it, how could his uncle have contact with the Shu family who left the city? And after the Shu family was wiped out, it was Fang Yu who took over the Shu family's property.

They all know that not everyone is qualified to take over the Shu family's property. Only those who hold the Shu family's warrant are the future heads of the Shu family and are qualified to take over all the Shu family's property.

Fang Yu...

How could Fang Yu be related to the Shu family?

King Xuan remembered some things from the past. His previous aunt was from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the concubine given to Cui Jing, who was in charge of the Qi Army, was also from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking back to Fang Zhong's attitude toward Fang Yu since the last incident in the Fang family,

Could it be that Fang Yu...

Prince Xuan didn't dare to think too much about what happened next. It was related to his uncle's face.

Emperor Ren looked at Fang Zhong with venomous eyes,

The Shu family's property is as rich as any other country's. What does Fang Zhong's son want after taking over so much wealth?

"Fang Zhong, is your son Fang Yu still here?"

When Emperor Ren called his name, Fang Zhong felt a chill all over his body, "Back to the emperor, the dog is naughty. Since he was grounded by the minister last time, he has been filled with hatred and has run away from home."

"Running away from home means taking over the Shu family's property?" Emperor Ren asked.

Fang Zhong was shocked, "Your Majesty, I don't know about this. I just thought he was unconvinced and went out to have fun."

Emperor Ren stopped looking at Fang Zhong and said to King Fu: "Prince Fu, you are responsible for this matter and find out what happened to Fang Yu."

King Fu received the order, "Yes, Father,"

"Father, this matter may be related to the Western Zhou Dynasty, because the entire Shu family was wiped out, except for one son. He is still the son of the head of the Shu family, Shu Daqiang. He has never returned to the Shu family, so he escaped this disaster, and his son The minister found out that Shu Daqiang had been in the Western Zhou Dynasty for many years, "Xiu Wang Dao,"

Some ministers raised doubts, "Mrs. Bai was originally from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Is there any relationship between this?"

"Yes, yes, it was already found out that Mrs. Bai is from the Western Zhou Kingdom, and Fang Yu is Mrs. Bai's son."

"Yes, yes, could this Fang Yu be Shu Daqiang's son?"

"It's also possible. Maybe Fang Yu is the son of Mrs. Bai and Shu Daqiang."

The court is like a market, and all the ministers are sharp-minded.

Fang Zhong's face became more and more ugly, and his face was so dark that ink was dripping from it. He clenched his hands into fists, but said nothing.

Those who spoke were all from the Prince's party. They usually had some disagreements with Fang Zhong and the others, but now they seized the opportunity without adding insult to injury.

Prince Xuan couldn't stand hearing it anymore, "What crime do you deserve for slandering a country's Duke Dingguo and his wife in the court?"

"Ahem, Prince Xuan is right. This is not a market. Don't go too far. It is an insult to gentleness." Emperor Ren had no choice but to cough dryly.

"Since this matter still involves the Western Zhou Dynasty, we must not be careless. Let's investigate together with King Xiu. We must investigate Fang Yu, the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Shu family clearly. The Shu family's industry cannot fall into the hands of other countries in vain. .”

"Yes, Father."
