Chapter 145 Rumors 4
The emperor's face was ashen, even more sinister than before. He gritted his teeth and forced out a few words: "A bunch of useless trash! What are you all standing there for?"
He paused, the veins on his forehead throbbing as if they were about to burst, and, suppressing his anger, shouted again, "Hurry up and carry them back to the Crown Prince's palace, and immediately summon the imperial physician!"
The imperial physicians, drenched in sweat and trembling, knelt before Xiao Chuhuan's bedside, utterly helpless in the face of this bizarre scene.
No matter how they examined him or administered acupuncture and medicine, the Crown Prince and his concubine remained tightly embracing each other, like conjoined twins, inseparable.
More importantly, if things continue like this, His Highness the Crown Prince may never be able to lift his head again for the rest of his life!
The emperor's face turned from ashen to deathly pale. He furiously overturned the table, shattering the precious antiques in the imperial study. With a furious roar, he yelled, "Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash! What use are you to me?!"
The imperial physicians were all terrified and dared not utter a sound.
“Your Majesty,” an old imperial physician began, his voice trembling, “in all my decades of medical practice, I have never seen such a bizarre symptom… This, this is probably not something that ordinary medical techniques can resolve…”
The emperor, enraged, laughed coldly. "Not ordinary medical skills? You mean the Crown Prince is possessed by an evil spirit?!"
The old doctor was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to utter another word.
"Send down the order: whoever can unravel the strange phenomenon surrounding the Crown Prince will be richly rewarded!" The Emperor practically roared as he spoke these words.
The news caused an uproar throughout the capital.
Rumors spread like wildfire, with some saying the crown prince was debauched and had been punished by heaven.
Some say it's because the feng shui of the Eastern Palace is bad, and it's haunted by vengeful spirits;
Some even say that someone secretly cursed the crown prince, intending to rebel.
In the study of the Shen family residence, the men Shen Shenxing had sent to protect Shen Ruoyu and Shen Ruoning returned and reported truthfully about the attack on Shen Yunxi and the others.
Shen Shenxing slammed his hand on the table, ready to confront Xiao Chuhuan, but instead received this news. He excitedly ran to Fanghua Garden to tell Shen Yunxi the news.
Shen Yunxi's lips curled up slightly: "Grandpa, I know more about this than you do."
Shen Shenxing was stunned for a moment, then realized: "You did it?"
Shen Yunxi nodded and then vividly recounted the events to Old Master Shen. When she described the scene where Xiao Chuhuan and the concubine were disheveled and entangled in an ambiguous position, she added some exaggerated descriptions, which amused Old Master Shen into laughing heartily.
"Good! Good! Good!" Old Master Shen clapped his hands and laughed, saying "good" three times in a row. "Xi'er, your move was brilliant! In all my years, I have never seen such a wonderful show!"
"Oh, Mommy. You and Uncle Jun went out to play without taking me with you!" Shen Ruoyu huffed, indicating that she felt her baby was angry and that she couldn't be appeased.
"Yeah, Mommy's mean, she didn't take us with her." Shen Ruoning pouted, looking unhappy.
Shen Yunxi patted their little heads and explained with a suppressed laugh, "It's not suitable for children. It's not appropriate for young children to participate. I'll take you next time."
"Really?" Shen Ruoyu asked instinctively, "Mother, you must not be lying to us."
"Okay, let's pinky swear!" Shen Yunxi smiled and extended her little finger to pinky swear with Shen Ruoyu and the others.
Inside the room, everyone was enjoying themselves. Di Xuanshang sat to one side, quietly watching them, as if he were living a life of peace and tranquility.
The Crown Prince's tarnished reputation was far from enough for her; she wanted to completely ruin his name.
A cold glint flashed in Shen Yunxi's eyes, so she secretly sent people to spread rumors, exaggerating the affair between the Crown Prince and his concubine, as well as the Crown Prince's future impotence, and spreading them throughout the entire capital.
