Chapter 1748: The Panicked Imperial Grandprince....
Translator: Lonelytree
There seemed to be two reasons for his actions. One was to sow discord between him, Lin Yuelan, and Jiang Zhennan so that he would be suspicious of them. Secondly, if he reported to the Emperor like this, it would make the Emperor suspicious of him.
Suspicion was the worst thing in a relationship between people.
Once suspicion was formed, it meant that the relationship could be broken at any time.
So, was this Yuwen Xuhongs goal?
The Crown Prince still couldn’t believe it. He looked at Yuwen Xuhong and asked seriously,” Hong-er, what’s your motive for doing this?”
Yuwen Xuhongs expression stiffened. Then, he pulled his face and smiled stiffly,” Imperial Uncle, I’ve already said it. At that time, I was bewitched by the seduction technique. I couldn’t even control what I was thinking. So, I didn’t know what I did either. Imperial Uncle, please forgive me this once!”
When the Crown Prince heard this, his expression was very disappointed. However, Yuwen Xuhong was, after all, his nephew whom he had doted on since he was young. Other than disappointment, there was also sadness.
The Crown Prince sighed and said,” Alright!’
Yuwen Xuhongs face instantly lit up with joy. He smiled and said,” Thank you,
Imperial Uncle! Thank you, Imperial Uncle!”
“Since the eldest grand prince did not have such a dream, then what about the rumours outside?” Lin Yuelan pointed it out and asked sternly,” Obviously, these rumours started at the same time.’
“So, girl, what exactly are you suspecting?” Yuwen Longyan asked seriously. Lin Yuelan spread out her hands and said,” It’s not suspicion. It’s affirmation.”
“What?” Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Lin Yuelan in confusion.” What do you mean?”
“What do you mean by that?” Yuwen Longyan’s eyebrows twitched. He had a bad feeling.
Lin Yuelan sneered and said,” You have to ask His Highness the eldest grandprince about this.”
Yuwen Xuhongs heart shook, and he said blankly, “Me? Why me?”
Lin Yuelan narrowed her eyes, which were filled with viciousness. She said sharply,” It seems that His Royal Highness still wants to play dumb.” Then, Lin Yuelan paused for a moment and glanced at Zhou Wenya. As if reminding her, she said,” Then let me remind you that the first place where these rumours were spread from was probably the eldest grand prince’s manor!”
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, Yuwen Xuhong seemed to have come to his senses. He then looked at Zhou Wenya with a vicious gaze and scolded her sternly,” Zhou Wenya, you b * tch. So you were the one who had people spread those rumours.’
As he said this, he walked up to Zhou Wenya in a few steps. He raised his hand and was about to give her another big slap.
Just as the slap was about to land on Zhou Wenya’s face, someone stopped him.
Yuwen Xuhong looked at Lin Yuelan, who was blocking his hand, and his eyes revealed a hint of guilt. Then, as if he was about to spit fire again, he asked in disbelief,” Princess, you actually stopped me and saved this slut?”
Lin Yuelan flung his hand away and said with a cold expression,” Imperial grand prince, you’re really playing dumb with me. I said that the rumours came from the Imperial Zhangsun Manor, so why did your first reaction be that it had to be her who had people spread the rumours?”
Before Yuwen Xuhong could respond, Zhou Wenya mocked,” What else could it be? It is guilt! Because he was the one who sent people to spread this rumour from the residence!”
Zhou Wenya’s words were like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake. The sound entered everyone’s ears.
No one present could believe what they had just heard.
Yuwen Xuhong glared at Zhou Wenya fiercely and scolded loudly,” B * tch, shut up!’
Soon, he explained to Lin Yuelan,” Princess, it’s not like that. This b * tch, she…She’s framing me! Yes! You should know the purpose of this slut in my residence. Therefore, she wants to sow discord between me, the crown prince, and the imperial uncle. Do you…
“Think about it, I was bewitched by her…” However, when he thought about the past, it seemed that every time he used seduction techniques as an excuse, it did not work. Therefore, he quickly changed his mind.” Also, these rumours in the capital were all spread by her, so…” You must believe me.
Unexpectedly, before he could finish, Zhou Wenya interrupted him and said,” I admit that I was the one who sent people to spread the rumours in the capital. However, I didn’t ask anyone to spread the rumours from the imperial grand prince manor.”
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson and Zhou Wenya, everyone fell into deep thought, seemingly puzzled.
What was going on?
Could it be that it was really the imperial grand prince who sent people to spread the rumours?
“Shut up!” Yuwen Xuhong appeared to be extremely flustered. He tried his best to defend himself,” You b * tch, you’re about to die, and you’re still accusing me!”
Then, he knelt down before Emperor Yuwen Longyan and said loudly,” Imperial Grandfather, that slut Zhou Wenya is slandering me. Her words can’t be trusted at all, Imperial Grandfather!”
Yuwen Longyan stared at Yuwen Xuhong with a serious expression, causing Yuwen Xuhong to panic even more.
He kowtowed to Yuwen Longyan and explained,” Imperial Grandfather, have you forgotten that Zhou Wenya, that b * tch, said that she wanted to use me as a scapegoat when she held me hostage? You see, her scheme has been exposed, and I’m no longer a hostage, so she wants to drag me down before she dies!”
Hearing Yuwen Xuhongs words, some people nodded in agreement.
“Your Majesty, the eldest grandprince is right. At this moment, Zhou Wenya’s
words were no longer credible. Therefore, if someone really wanted to say that the eldest grandprince had sent people to spread these rumours, they had to produce more concrete evidence, right? Princess Guguo!” Prime Minister Chen defended the eldest grandprince..
