Chapter 227 The second prince refutes the rumor

"Didn't you say that the second prince is suspected of being inhumane? Why is there another news now? Which one is trustworthy and which one is not?"

"You also said that you are suspicious. Doesn't this make the rumors clear? If a man can't be humane, he will go crazy, let alone the arrogant and arrogant Second Prince."

"That's right too."

The network of relationships in the capital was intricate, and within a day, the news that the second prince favored a little-known concubine spread to the back houses of various officials.

The water inside looks deep, but in fact if you think carefully you can find clues inside.

It is said that it is no big deal to favor a concubine. Even if the emperor favors someone, the officials may not care that much.

But not long ago, there were rumors in the capital that His Highness the Second Prince had his lifeblood injured at a hunting ground on the outskirts of the capital, to the point that he was inhumane.

With this rumor, many officials began to weigh in their minds. If this rumor was true, then the second prince would no longer be able to sit in a position above tens of thousands of people. Officials who wanted to curry favor with the second prince backed down.

But in fact, this rumor was spread by the princelings. The prince was obsessed with poetry and books, and was always a little indecisive in his actions. Many officials did not think highly of the prince, so the prince's situation became more and more difficult over the years.

Concubine Jiang was not of a noble birth, but this was the first time she had received so many invitations.

"What greeting card? Bring it up and take a look."

Concubine Jiang, who had not seen the second prince, had been busy in recent days and met many officials' wives.

"Brother Pei, why do you think Sheng Xiuyu is so shameless? He can even make such a pretense. I don't believe that this news didn't come from the second prince's house. It must have been directed and acted by Sheng Xiuyu.

What a show."

But the prince is always a legitimate prince, and there are many people who support the prince.

Pei Mo was calm and composed, it was not easy to see the second prince in such a state of embarrassment for a while.

But no one among the princelings knew that the retainer had accidentally guessed the truth.

"Concubine, this is a greeting card sent by this servant. Do you want to take a look at it?" the maid said.

It is not difficult to guess what the officials had in mind. They just thought that the second prince would have a chance to fight for power. If he really became the emperor, then the child in his belly might be the prince.

That night, the concubine's reply was sent to the ladies, which means that the concubine was favored almost exactly!

Some ladies who had not sent greeting cards became anxious, and opened the palace's warehouses one after another to find precious treasures to give to the concubine, intending to please her and seek the blessing of the second prince.

"Mother, here are the wives of the ministers, the wives of the Minister of Household Affairs, and the wives of the governor. Many of them are sent by the wives of important officials in the imperial court."

Pei Mo didn't express any opinions, his face was solemn and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Therefore, the fact that the second prince favored his concubine's bed was of course spread by the second prince.

Fang Anren was usually well protected by Prince Yi's Palace, so he was simple-minded and thought that the lady who felt the pulse had lied. Maybe the lady had taken advantage of the second prince to say so.

It was as if Concubine Jiang was already pregnant with a child.

Murong Qing felt that it was not that simple, but he couldn't figure out the method and didn't say anything.

No, the princeling's retainers heard that the second prince was injured after returning from a hunting ground in the suburbs of Beijing. They also got news that the second prince had killed many doctors. Although no specific evidence could be found, a man who was so smart and almost a demon

However, the retainer came up with a way to deliberately spread the news that the second prince was deeply hurt and inhumane.

"I guess I was forced to do this because I had no choice but to take this step."

In this way, if the bet is right, the second prince will have no chance to fight for power. If the bet is not right, the three of them will become a tiger. Even if the second prince tries to find out the source of the rumor, he will be trapped for a while.

After a moment of silence, Fang Anren said, "By the way, Brother Pei, when will you go to court? The emperor asked me specifically this morning. I don't know how to answer, so I can only ask you."

Murong Qing had a strong network of connections, so she naturally knew the news. She frowned and said in surprise, "But I still find it strange that the second prince is indeed inhumane, but as far as I know, there is a lady who can feel the pulse and confirm the profile."

The concubine has been sleeping with me in the past few days, so what’s going on? You can’t fake your pulse.”

Over here, the Second Prince's Mansion, Concubine Jiang's bedroom.

"Perhaps the old woman who felt the pulse was not good at learning and was just talking nonsense, or she was in cahoots with the second prince."

Not long after, the news reached the ears of Fang Anren and Pei Mo.

In this way, the news that he is inhumane will be self-defeating.

Fang Anren said with a bitter look on his face, his eyes almost rolled to the sky. God knows that he knew the truth, but he couldn't tell others how painful it was.

She felt proud, didn't this mean that the main concubine was stepped on by her, the side concubine?

Concubine Jiang was overjoyed and selected several invitations from the wives of officials with high status and some friendship with the second prince. She looked at the time and dressed up while humming a ballad.

I just don’t know if the princelings will continue.

The maid said.

At this moment, the rumors in the capital that the second prince was inhumane were completely shattered.

Concubine Jiang was surprised, how could there be so many well-established ladies sending greeting cards to her? You must know that in the past, these greeting cards were sent to the second prince and his concubine. It had been almost a year since her mother's family was convicted.

I've been out of the house.

On this day, Fang Anren, who had gone to court, came to the general's mansion without even changing into court clothes.

Some ladies who were not particularly distinguished wanted to find a future for their husbands, so they opportunistically sent a prescription for giving birth to a boy that they had obtained from a famous doctor. This immediately attracted the ladies to imitate them, and those who sent supplements

Tonic medicines and folk prescriptions are provided.

Concubine Jiang had not seen the second prince for two days in a row. She was a little sad, but the supplies and rewards in her palace increased, which made her feel happy. She felt that the second prince remembered her in his heart, but he just didn't have time.

Just come to see her.

It's not that Murong Qing is stupid, who would have thought that someone would find other men to sleep with his concubine!

After she finished speaking, the two people present fell silent. Yes, it was indeed strange. The wives of those officials had lived in the back house for so many years, and they had the most poisonous eyes. There were some things that really couldn't be deceived by these wives.

He counted on his fingers and found that Pei Mo had not gone to court for six days. If it had been another official, he would have been dismissed by the emperor long ago. Pei Mo had a high position and power. Even if he had not gone to court for six days, the people below him would still be there.

None of the generals had any objections.

Murong Qing looked at Pei Mo in surprise, "General, isn't this a leave specially granted to you by the Emperor?"

It turns out that Pei Mo didn't go to court these days just to be with her.

Murong Qing felt guilty and extremely warm at the same time.
