Prince Lu's Mansion
"Your Majesty, I am really unjust!" Several attendants knelt on the ground, each one with pear blossoms in the rain. Among them, attendant Yuan was crying the most miserably. She had a small face, willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, fair skin, and was as tender as milk and tofu. , in terms of appearance, she is only above average, but her skin that is easily broken by a bomb is very rare. She has always been loved by the prince, and therefore she has been tied with Chen Xuanshi as the most favored concubine in recent months.
But now, not only was the makeup on her face stained by crying, her bun was messy, but she also had a slap mark on the left side of her face, which was swollen. 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 questioned but also tortured. One of her personal maids was even beaten to death.
Her bloody and tragic condition made Yuan Xuanshi faint at that time.
Now she is awake, but she is crying and complaining. She is not crying wildly, but she is looking at the man sitting in the middle with sad eyes. She is sorrowful, like a tearful flower, looking embarrassed against the background of the palm prints. And poignant.
Several other waiters were unwilling to lag behind. No one wanted to show their guilty conscience at this time, and crying became a kind of catharsis and a statement.
As concubines in the palace, most of them have been trained and know how to cry to make men feel distressed, and they are also very good at crying. As one of the concubines, Chen Xuan even had tears rolling down one by one, looking straight into his eyes. Come here, with the ability to reveal pain and despair with just your eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I am really unjust!"
"Okay!" Being upset 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 over them. If he was really cruel, they would just roll up their mats and end up in the graveyard.
Seeing that his women were all sad and praying, King Lu's head hurt even more. He wandered for a few steps upset, sighing in his heart: "I am still not as good as the King of Qi, or even as good as the King of Shu."
If you were the King of Qi, no matter whether this kind of thing was true or false, if you had any suspicion, you might be killed with a stick.
Most of the time the King of Shu would express his understanding and disbelief, but would remain silent in secret and "die of illness" after a while.
But King Lu himself was not a murderer, and although he was not addicted to women, these servants were indeed selected according to his preferences. It was said that a couple would be kind to each other for a hundred days, and after a long relationship, how could there be no feelings?
Even if there was concrete evidence, I couldn't do this kind of preoccupation and would kill them and send them to hell.
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a bit impulsive to make such a fuss tonight. He really shouldn't have gotten so excited when he thought of the rumors about Shuiyun Temple and started to interrogate and interrogate him.
If Xu Xu had planned it, the trouble wouldn't have been so big.
King Lu waved his hand and said coldly: "You all stand down!"
"...Yes!" Several selected servants were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got up one after another, blessed King Lu, and quickly retreated like frightened birds and beasts.
Most of the maids and servants who followed them were still detained, but they couldn't care less. Some of them staggered and almost fell after taking a few steps. They couldn't care less about this ugly appearance, and they all scrambled to retreat.
King Lu stood up and walked a few steps, then stood in the hall, hands behind his back, watching them hurriedly out with heavy eyes.
The blood stains in the courtyard had been washed away by the servants, but there was still a fishy smell in the air. Thinking of the incident at Shuiyun Temple, King Lu was still in a worried mood. He couldn't help but frown and sat back on his chair.
He pressed his eyebrows and worried: People always have feelings. These women have been with him for several years, and there is no clear reason for stealing from them. How to deal with them now?
Kill them all, not to mention whether he can bear it in his heart, but I am afraid that what is going on in this mansion cannot be hidden from outsiders.
"Your Majesty." Gui Junxi, who was sitting next to him and had been silent for a long time, started to persuade him: "Actually, you don't need to worry about this."
"How do you say it?" King Lu looked over.
Gui Junxi lowered her eyes and thought for a while: "Your Majesty, the Empress of the Three Caves has always been famous, and Shuiyun Temple has many people worshiping her and asking for a child. Who knew it was a den of prostitution, so we can't blame them for going to burn incense."
"Moreover, Shuiyun Temple now has a bad reputation. Everyone who has been there is told that, let alone nothing, even if there is something, they can only cover it up first and deal with it later."
"This is also to prevent someone from dragging you into it. The current situation in the capital is not simple. The king was ordered to deal with the temple, but there has been no movement..."
The following words are not fully stated, but the meaning is very clear.
The incident at Shuiyun Temple involves all the female relatives of the palace. It's easy to deal with one or two of them. Just let them die of illness. If they are placed in the back house of a powerful person in the capital, this kind of thing is not surprising at all. If a lot of people die of illness, Can't even make a splash.
But removing all the concubines except the princess does not mean announcing to the world that something big happened in King Lu's backyard, and King Lu was wearing a blue hat?
What's more, the princess also went to offer incense, which allowed the concubine to die of illness easily. Princess Lu was a royal concubine on the royal family tree, how could the princess also die of illness? Obviously not!
Furthermore, even if King Lu himself is considered the victim in this matter, it will be a lot of fun if he is labeled as the Blue Hat King.
I'm afraid that if someone sees King Lu again later, their first reaction will not be that King Lu has the world in his chest and the talent to hide in the dragon, but that King Lu has a green head.
Why doesn’t King Lu know this?
He pressed his eyebrows again, a little gloomily: "Yes, sir, what you said makes sense. This matter can only be suppressed for the time being, and that's all."
As he said that, he felt a little soft-hearted and sighed: "We have interrogated all the selected servants today. I'm afraid they are also panic-stricken. Let's calm them down in a few days."
When Gui Junxi didn't answer, he was a little surprised: "Am I wrong?"
"No, the king is right, this is the heart of humanity..." Gui Junxi sighed inwardly, feeling a little dissatisfied but also a little relieved.
If you are a wise king, you can have many women, but you must not be infatuated or overly affectionate.
If it fell into the emperor's hands, he would probably die immediately.
But this is also a benefit, so that the king and his subjects can feel at ease. Otherwise, no one can bear the life of walking on thin ice and being easily offended.
Just thinking about it, my eyes swept over, and suddenly I was shocked and my face changed.
Why, why did King Lu's nobility cut off most of it in an instant?
This situation was so weird that Gui Junxi was unprepared and was caught off guard. A strong crisis suddenly occurred in his heart. He immediately recalled the conversation carefully. According to reports, although King Lu was a little impulsive at first, he only interrogated the maid in the palace. Concubine, I haven’t done anything outside the house, so as long as I press this matter at this time, it shouldn’t have any impact.
Could it be that something happened outside the house now? Something happened to Shuiyun Temple?
But how big of a deal is it to be able to take away most of King Lu's nobility in one fell swoop?
What does Shuiyun Temple mean?
For a moment, he couldn't understand it at all, and Gui Junxi suddenly felt heart palpitations.
