"Ning Shu, you have to pay attention to your words!" Chief Eunuch Zhao Bin swept the tail of his spear and immediately reprimanded Ning Shu, "The matter of the imperial bloodline is as important as Mount Tai and cannot be slandered. Furthermore, Old Princess Consort Yu has a revered status, how dare you slander her so rudely! Quickly kneel down and beg for forgiveness! "
The imperial family was known as the imperial family because it had a supreme status and the most precious bloodline in the world could not be mixed with anything else. Therefore, every child of the imperial family would be recorded in detail in the records of the Internal Affairs Department until their death.
Old Prince Yu was the closest and most trusted elder brother of His Majesty. In the prince's residence, only the South Pacifying Prince's residence had a special status that could be compared to him. Every time Prince Yu's residence gave birth to a prince or princess, His Majesty would reward them greatly. Thus, everyone knew that Old Princess Consort Yu had given birth to two legitimate sons for Old Prince Yu. Unfortunately, both of them died while suppressing bandits. Every time His Majesty thought about it, he would feel sad.
Why did Ning Shu suddenly mention a daughter today? Wasn't this hinting that Old Princess Consort Yu's body was not upright? This was a great humiliation to both Old Princess Consort Yu and Prince Yu's residence! This Ning Family's eldest daughter was young, but her courage was bigger than a leopard's.
However —
Everyone present silently raised their heads and secretly glanced at Old Princess Consort Yu, who had fallen silent after her outburst.
Everyone in the capital knew that Old Princess Consort Yu had always been amiable and benevolent. She stood aloof from worldly affairs and treated everyone with tolerance. However, because of her excessive anger, she clutched her chest and gasped for breath. Her hands trembled like withered branches in the cold winter and could be broken by a gust of wind at any time.
Everyone present was His Majesty's trusted aides and their mouths were tighter than the hardest rock in the world. However, this did not stop their brains from thinking, guessing, and doubting.
Could this matter be …
Everyone's hearts thumped and they hurriedly lowered their heads, not listening, not thinking, and obediently turning themselves back into a rock. This was the best way to preserve their lives.
Looking at Old Princess Yu's angry and embarrassed expression, His Majesty frowned and didn't say anything. He seemed to be deep in thought.
Amidst this indescribable silence, Xiahou Qing calmly gathered his cloak and took a step back towards the corridor, not allowing the raindrops to splash on him. Then he said casually, "Your Majesty, the reason why rumors can run rampant in this world is because when they first started, everyone thought them to be ridiculous and laughable, not to be believed. So they put them at the back of their minds and ignored them. Little did he know that this gave it the opportunity to distort and expand. From Li Kui to Li Gui, and from Li Gui to a horrifying monster. Therefore, this official believes that rather than allowing this rumor to destroy the prestige of Prince Yu's Residence, Old Princess Consort Yu, and the late Old Prince Yu, it would be better to explain it clearly today and completely extinguish the flames before it ignites. Your Majesty is wise and farsighted, so you can naturally distinguish between right and wrong and return Old Princess Consort Yu's innocence. "
After listening to Xiahou Qing's words, His Majesty pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly. His gaze moved to Ning Shu, "Then, we will give you a chance. Remember, if there is a single false word or unfounded speculation, we will not tolerate it. "
Ning Shu bowed her head and thanked him respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. I am willing to use my head as a guarantee that there is not a single false word in what I am about to say. "
