Chapter 424 Who did you offend?
"The princess' words touched my heart deeply. For a moment I stood there, not knowing how to meet her!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tingwan rolled her eyes.
"When did you become so smooth-talking?"
Shen Chenli walked to Yu Tingwan, waved his hand to let the servants leave, turned around and sat directly next to Yu Tingwan, watching her review memorials.
"The princess is so outstanding, I am very worried. Naturally, I have to learn to say more nice things to the princess, so that the princess will not dislike me!"
Looking at the person clinging to him, Yu Tingwan tried to push him away twice but failed, so he just let him hang there.
"I really dislike you right now, why don't you consider staying away from me?"
Hearing this, Shen Chenli immediately started shouting exaggeratedly, looking at Yu Tingwan with an accusing look on his face, full of grievance.
"Look! Look! I told you, the princess just doesn't like me! Is the princess tired of me? What can I do? People say that a handsome man is as good as a broken heart. Is it true that even beauty can't make the princess stay with me?"
Shen Chenli was sitting nearby, yelling loudly, and Yu Tingwan's mouth twitched when he heard it.
In the end, I ignored him and just treated it as listening to a stand-up comedy!
After talking for a while, Shen Chenli felt it was boring. He lowered his head to look at the memorial in Yu Tingwan's hand. His brows furrowed as he looked at it. He reached out and took the memorial from her hand and threw it away.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Shen Chenli sat up straight, reached out to take the stack of memorials on the dragon table, flipped through them one by one, and his expression gradually became colder.
Then he threw all the memorials down and hugged Yu Tingwan with an increasingly cold look in his eyes.
"This bunch of old guys have nothing to do but find trouble. They even dare to file a memorial to accuse you? I didn't have time to deal with them before. Do you really think I will just let them insult you like this?"
Seeing how angry he was, Yu Tingwan shrugged.
"Why do you think I kept all this? Do you really think I'm so good-tempered that I'll let them do whatever they want?"
Seeing the look in his eyes, Yu Tingwan sneered.
"I didn't want to argue with them. After all, it's boring to debate with a bunch of old men who are about to be buried. But these people keep provoking me. If I don't teach them a lesson, will they let me be manipulated?"
Yu Tingwan's words also proved that she didn't want to let it go, so Shen Chenli felt much more relieved.
He was afraid that Yu Tingwan would choose to be tolerant for his sake and for Da Sheng's sake.
Little do you know, the more you tolerate some people, the more blatantly they will bully you!
Just based on this, I can't bear it anymore.
"What is the princess going to do?"
Yu Tingwan curled her lips and smiled at him. Isn't this simple?
You know, her Wind Army was not trained in vain!
In the following few days, the entire capital city suddenly became lively.
The capital city, which had been somewhat restrained due to the change of imperial power, was suddenly filled with gossip, all about high-ranking officials!
What about the concubine of Lord Liu who secretly hired a killer to assassinate his legitimate son in order to make her illegitimate son favored by Lord Liu!
Lord Wang is already forty-three years old this year, but he is still in his prime, and he has many wives and concubines at home. But one of the concubines let the cat out of the bag, and rumors spread that Lord Wang is useless and likes to beat people, which immediately made Lord Wang lose face!
And that Lord Zhang is even more abominable. He actually embezzled and accepted bribes of nearly 800,000 taels of silver, and secretly had dealings with dignitaries of other countries. This was revealed by a servant in his family. When Prince Chen heard about this, he immediately sent someone to investigate.
As a result, a lot of things were found out, which involved a wide range of people. The prince was furious and threw everyone directly into the sky prison!
There were also other messy things, all of which were things that happened in the homes of the powerful and wealthy on a daily basis. They didn’t know which god they had offended, and all their private affairs were exposed!
This also caused quite a stir in the capital city. Everyone had something to gossip about after dinner. After confirming that the epidemic in the capital city had stabilized, one after another could not sit still at home!
After being cooped up for so long, they were finally able to go out, and there were things for them to talk about. They all wanted to hold a loudspeaker and shout, as if they wanted to shout out all the frustrations they had experienced in the past few days.
But now those ministers can no longer sit still!
How come all my private matters were revealed?
Several masters were very angry in the mansion, but they couldn't find the root of these things. The servants and concubines all cried out that they were wronged and said that they did not spread it outside.
Now the ministers were at a loss. After a rage in the government office, they could only quickly find someone to cover up the rumors.
However, they did not expect that the rumor would spread more and more fiercely, and their family assets were almost wiped out. Now they were panicking, knowing that they must have offended some important person and were being targeted!
"Master Liu, Master Liu, please walk slowly, walk slowly!"
After the court session, the adults hurried back home as fast as they could. They were now being detained by the prince to stay at home and practice alchemy. Now that they had finally achieved some results, they were allowed to attend court sessions.
That is, you cannot run around after court, you have to hurry back home. If you come back late, you will be fined!
When Lord Liu heard someone calling him from behind, he turned around impatiently and looked at that person.
He is extremely upset because of the rumors now, why are there people shouting at him without any eyes?
But when he turned around, he saw Lord Wang who was also involved in the rumors!
"It's Lord Wang! What do you want to talk to me about?"
He is impotent but still brings so many concubines into his house, whom he can only look at but not eat. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?
Lord Wang felt very aggrieved, and when he saw Lord Liu stop, he hurriedly walked out of the palace gate with him.
"Hey, Master Liu, can you tell me what's going on with these recent rumors in the capital? To be honest, we haven't offended anyone!"
Seeing his sad face, Lord Liu wanted to laugh, but he couldn't because he was also involved and his family fortune was about to be exposed.
With a change of mind, Lord Liu looked at Lord Wang as if he had seen a long-lost brother, and started to complain.
"Sir Wang, we usually just attend court or go back home. We didn't even drink tea with anyone. How could we offend anyone? Didn't Sir Wang hear any news?"
Hearing this, Lord Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly. If he knew who did it, he wouldn't have to keep doing this. He would have found someone to kill the person long ago, and he wouldn't have dared to even go out until now.
Even if the prince asked him to go out, he didn't want to go out!
Just as the two were chattering in front, the person who had been walking towards the palace gate with them finally couldn't help it.
"Have you ever thought about whether you have offended the prince and princess?"
The sudden voice behind them startled the two men, and they quickly turned around and looked at the person behind them vigilantly.
"Master Lin?"
