"Tsk tsk tsk, Prince..."
Everyone looked thoughtful.
Someone who didn't know the inside story asked curiously, "What hatred or grudge does the Crown Prince have with Lord Shen? He actually did such a cruel thing. It's so dry and it hasn't rained for a long time. A little spark can kill someone."
"The hatred between these two is not just ordinary. Do you know Madam Shen? She is so beautiful! It is said that the prince had taken a fancy to her before, and he even had people spread the news that Madam Shen and the prince were in love, in order to ruin the reputation of this good girl. But who knew that the prince was lustful and just wanted to play with her, while Lord Shen was sincere in love with her, and offered a betrothal gift of 128 yuan! He directly married her home..."
“So that’s how it is!”
"The emperor fainted a while ago, wasn't it because of the prince? What Thousand Wolf Palace? It's too scary..."
"It is said that the matter of the Thousand Wolf Palace was reported to the Emperor by Lord Shen..."
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped, and even a fool understood the interests involved.
This must be because the Crown Prince failed to win over the Prime Minister, so he wanted to kill Lord Shen and burn his entire family to death!
In one day, similar rumors spread throughout the streets and alleys. Rumors were terrifying and spread from mouth to mouth. People who liked to watch the fun would go directly to hang out around the Shen Mansion. They saw the piles of black ashes around the Shen Mansion and the busy and sad backs of the guards. For a moment, they felt that it was difficult to be an honest official. Even the Prime Minister, who was respected by everyone, could not avoid being plotted against by the prince who was in a high position.
Cangsong was acting outside all day. When he met enthusiastic people who came up to talk to him, he would tell them about the tragic scene of last night. When he was asked who did it, he began to hesitate and looked as if he dared not to mention it, which confirmed the rumors.
Shen Yunshu claimed illness and took leave to stay at home, refusing to go out and seeing anyone. If asked in detail, he would say that his injuries were too serious.
Everyone was in an uproar. The emperor frowned when he heard this and issued an edict allowing Shen Yunshu to rest until the beginning of autumn.
At noon in the Shen Mansion, Yin Mei and a group of people knelt in front of the young eunuch who came from the palace. After receiving the imperial edict, they slowly stood up, their eyes already red.
The young eunuch's surname was Liu. He looked at Yin Mei in a gentle voice. Seeing her red eyes, he was very polite, "Madam Shen, please don't be sad. There will be blessings in the future!"
"Thank you, Eunuch Liu!" Yin Mei started to cry as she spoke, "Lord Shen is seriously injured and can't come out, so I won't see him off."
"Oh, Madam..." The eunuch saw the beautiful woman crying. That broken beauty was so heartbreaking. He felt a little reluctant when he saw it. Originally, some people in the palace said that Lord Shen might be pretending. But now, Madam Shen didn't look like someone who would pretend. With this look, Lord Shen must have been seriously injured, which is why he was so sad.
The pain from the burns was unbearable for ordinary people, and the wound was extremely difficult to heal. Lord Shen was such a talented person... Eunuch Liu didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. Such a depressing atmosphere could not be improved by just a few words from him, so he could only sigh and leave.
