Chapter 391
King Zhao was very angry.
"Didn't find anyone?"
He frowned and looked at the eunuch Shi in front of him: "Has everyone been searched? No one is left out?"
Eunuch Shi can guarantee: "Absolutely not, I personally watched every one of them."
"Your Highness, maybe the contents of the letter are false." There was nothing wrong with it. The woman with poor handwriting was pregnant with the prince's child.
King Zhao thought for a moment and said, "No need to check further."
He stopped investigating, but the incident was suddenly exposed.
First, a rumor spread in the mansion that a woman in the mansion was pregnant with the prince's child, but the child was not found, and the rumor soon spread outside.
The versions of the rumors also began to vary.
Some people say that the child is actually the reincarnation of a spirit boy, which is why he is so important.
Some people also say that the baby was actually conceived by King Zhao's favorite concubine, and that he doted on her so much that it made a big fuss about it. However, this version is not widely circulated because it is not exciting enough.
The third version of the rumor is even more powerful. In fact, the child was conceived by that person herself.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, a dragon flew by in the sky and noticed a golden light flashing above Prince Zhao’s palace. So he took a look from afar, and just with just one glance, he was on top!
Because this version was too exciting, everyone was communicating secretly by making eye contact and didn't dare to speak out loud.
By the afternoon, the rumor had changed instantly.
A high monk predicted that the child would be endowed with dragon energy and have an inestimable destiny!
Once this rumor came out, it instantly overwhelmed other rumors (on the surface)
Inside Prince Zhao's Palace
King Zhao sat at the top, with three or five other officials also present.
"Go check it out!"
"Yes"
The official also knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay at all.
A high monk predicted that the baby had the dragon energy and a precious destiny. Those who spread rumors were going to kill the unborn baby!
And the prince will become the target of public criticism from now on.
Especially since the one on the throne is still in good health, and there are so many princes and nobles around who are eyeing him covetously.
Who is behind this, trying to kill the prince?
Everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
No one noticed the little noise coming from Concubine Liu's yard.
"The rumor has spread pretty much now."
Concubine Liu was no longer as warm and gentle as usual, and her beautiful eyes were filled with a fierce light.
"The next step is to distribute those printed books. I want King Zhao to be infamous and have no chance of making a comeback!"
Among the old emperor's descendants, only Prince Zhao is relatively capable. If he were to become useless, there would be trouble.
She murmured: "Maybe... I can go back earlier"
When she thought of going back, she thought of her few precious poisonous insects.
The quality of the poisonous insect is more important than its quantity. Her babies suffered a lot of losses this time.
It was originally planned to give one to King Zhao, and to give one to the other kids as well, and the rest would be used as long as they could be used.
But no one knows what happened, except that time when King Zhao was injured, it succeeded.
The eyes of the other little guys are sharper than each other, and any poisonous insect that comes close to them will be crushed to pieces.
It has never succeeded!
After careful inquiries, she found out that it was the fourth-ranked kid who deliberately spread rumors and slandered her to the other kids.
They said that she didn't pay attention to her personal hygiene and her body was often crawling with bugs, so she was not a good person.
Thinking of this, Concubine Liu slammed the table and cursed, "What an unpleasant little brat!"
Suddenly, a maid outside the door came with a message, saying that Concubine Li was here to visit.
Concubine Li?
What is she doing here?
