On the second day, rumors that the Fragrance Pavillion was probably owned by abandoned crown prince Chu Yizhao spread throughout the entire Ji City.

But what surprised Feng Qingmo was that it was rumored that not only was the Fragrance Pavillion a part of Chu Yizhao's business, all the brothels inside the Ji City were made by the abandoned crown prince.

Other than the spread of the Fragrance Pavillion, there was another rumor spreading about Chu Yixuan.

It was rumored that, unlike the abandoned crown prince that was secretly in charge of the brothels, the third son of the emperor, Prince Qi, was in control of the gambling house. The Gambling House s of several families were all in the possession of the Prince Qi Palace, and the accumulated wealth was not inferior to the brothels of the abandoned crown prince in any way.

In this way, the abandoned crown prince and the Prince Qi violated the rules set by the Dongluo Imperial Family at the same time — — The Royal Family had always strictly forbidden the participation of the members of the Royal Family in the investment of the private industry, and could not use their Imperial Family's power to monopolize or interfere in the major markets of the private sector.

It was early in the morning and the entire Ji City was talking about this matter. The rumor about him being chased by the Fragrance Pavillion was like a flood that was unlocking the gates, and it was obstructing them.

Everyone's reaction to the rumors was one of shock, and it was an incomparable one at that.

Feng Qingmo was very surprised, what he had released last night was clearly only the one and only Fragrance Pavillion, why were there two different versions of it now?

Why did he say that other than Fragrance Pavillion, there were other brothels that were also under Chu Yizhao's control?

Why did Chu Yixuan become involved and actually say that the Ji City s were all Chu Yixuan's property?

Feng Qingmo was helpless, he could only sneak into the Xu Mansion at the first possible moment, wanting to notify Qi Yu of this matter.

The situation had spread out too fast, out of his control. This was a plan that Qi Yu had come up with, and she still had to think of a way to control the situation.

However, Qi Yu had already understood this situation.

Although Xu Chang went up to the court, the Uncle Du did not go up. The Uncle Du was Xu Chang's most trusted confidant, the information he had exchanged with the Manager Tong in the past was handled by the Uncle Du. Currently, the Uncle Du also had Xu Chang's instructions. If there was any movement, he could directly discuss it with Qi Yu.

Thus, when Uncle Du heard the rumors in the morning, he of course would be the first to notify Qi Yu.

Qi Yu was surprised, she never thought that Feng Qingmo's efficiency would be so high, not only did she complete it quickly, she even spread the news about it.

"Third Miss, do you need a plan?" Uncle Du asked softly.

Qi Yu waved her hand: "Don't be in such a hurry, everything is under my control."

The Uncle Du was relieved: "Alright, then this old servant will continue to pay attention to what is happening outside."

Qi Yu patted Uncle Du on the shoulder and amiably said: "Alright, go back to your work. Uncle Du, it's been hard on you!"

"Ugh …"

Third Miss actually dared to speak to him in such a manner!

Uncle Du was a little flustered, the previous Third Young Miss was not like this!

But after thinking about how the Third Miss changed her attitude towards living after dying once in the Prince Qi Palace, she believed that this was the result of her body and mind being heavily injured that time. In that case, the Third Miss being carefree and happy was much better than living a life of caution and caution previously.

No matter what, Xu Rouzhi was still Xu Chang's daughter, and furthermore, he was Xu Chang's daughter from when he was younger. Based on Xu Chang's obsession and resentment toward his, Uncle Du felt that Xu Chang's deep affection for his had never been let go, and might even be able to reunite with his someday. At that time, Xu Rouzhi's position would probably not be the same anymore.

After Uncle Du left, Feng Qingmo appeared.

Qi Yu praised him: "Not bad, leaving the task at your disposal is enough to make me feel at ease."

Feng Qingmo asked doubtfully, "Why? Is such a situation still within your control?"

"It's alright!" Qi Yu smiled, "The more information is beneficial to the Prince Xin’s Mansion, the more disadvantageous it will be to him. It's alright. To clear him of suspicion? To prevent suspicion from being directed at him? "

"I did not drag the Prince Qi into this." Feng Qingmo said.

Qi Yu was stunned! "Why?"

Feng Qingmo said: "I only followed what you said, and spread the news about the Fragrance Pavillion."

Qi Yu was stunned. This... The power of rumor? After ten or a hundred times as many things have happened? "

"I think that it might not just be purely enlarged," Feng Qingmo frowned, "If it's just enlarged, then it's normal to say that there are still several brothels in the Ji City that are under Chu Yizhao's control. But how did the rumors regarding the Prince Qi come out? "

That's right!

What the heck was this news about Chu Yixuan controlling the gambling house?

Qi Yu was secretly shocked, it could not be that there was still someone in the middle controlling the situation, right?

Who could this person be? What was the purpose of his actions?

— —

Regarding the rumors, Chu Yizhao was also very surprised.

After being shocked, he became furious. Just what was going on!? Who was it that wanted him to die even more miserably?

Being accused of having an affair with the Princess Qi had already severely hurt his reputation, and now she was even spreading rumors that he controlled a few brothels in the Ji City?

He, Chu Yizhao, was the owner of the Dongluo. Once he ascends the throne in the future, the entire world of Dongluo would be his. What did he want? He, Chu Yizhao, was not sick!

"Just who is it that has such ill intentions!"

Chu Yizhao flipped a table full of breakfast, the rage in his eyes burning uncontrollably!

Anger filled his chest, and he felt like he was going to lose his breath!

Who was it that had to put him to death before he was willing to give up?

With so many rumors spreading around, it had already discredited him. Even if the Royal Father could spare his life, he would not have the chance to return to the Eastern Palace!

To a future Monarch who wholeheartedly wanted to rule over the entire Dongluo, this was the most painful thing!

Beside the table, the Crown Princess was trembling with fear. There was no dirt on her face.

She had never seen Chu Yizhao lose his temper like this before. No, this was not losing his temper, this was giving up!

Seeing Chu Yizhao's face becoming more and more pale, suddenly, Chu Yizhao spat out a mouthful of blood! The Crown Princess was so frightened that she rushed over and supported him. She cried, "Your highness, Your highness …"

— —

Regarding the rumors, Chu Yiyun was even more shocked.

How could such news suddenly appear in Ji City? abandoned crown prince and Prince Qi had violated the rules of the Imperial Family and started to disrupt the order of the market? One was a brothel, the other was a gambling den?

This, this, how could this be?

Regarding this, Su Guogang was not able to give any opinions. The Su Family brothers were all martial artists, running errands for him, killing people and so on, all of them were fine, but to come up with a plan, it was not possible.

Therefore, Prince Xin’s Mansion needed and tolerated the existence of the Crown’s Master.

Su Guoyong hurriedly came to see Chu Yiyun. Before he came, he madly ate a lot of melon fruits, then took a quick bath to remove the smell of alcohol from his body. He was afraid that Chu Yiyun would sense that he was not returning last night.

"Your Highness!"

Chu Yiyun twitched his nose suspiciously. He smelt a faint smell of alcohol from Su Guoyong's body and frowned, "You drank too much?"

Su Guoyong hid his reply: "I didn't dare to drink, I just couldn't help but take a sip."

Chu Yiyun glared at Su Guoyong, now was not the time to investigate whether or not Su Guoyong had drunk alcohol, he pointed to the outside: "There are so many rumors, have you heard them?"

"I heard it, Your Highness," Su Guoyong said hurriedly. "I was just about to volunteer myself to verify whether or not this matter is true."

"You used to frequent the Fragrance Pavillion as well. Have you ever heard of anyone hiding behind the Fragrance Pavillion?"

"This …"

Thinking about what he had casually mentioned last night, Zhang Xuan didn't expect that he would hear such a rumor. It seemed to be true. Su Guoyong hurriedly said: "I have heard of it before, but I have never heard of it. I only said that there is someone at the Fragrance Pavillion. This subordinate does not think much of it, and actually did not investigate any further. "

"Aiya, Second Brother!" Su Guogang slapped his thigh, and complained, "You have truly caused your highness to miss such a good opportunity! If only we knew that the Fragrance Pavillion and the Eastern Palace sect had something to do with it, we would have investigated this matter and reported it to his majesty. Then wouldn't abandoned crown prince never have had the chance to return to the Ji City again?! "

"This …" Su Guoyong wiped his forehead, and turned to look at Chu Yiyun, "Your Highness."

Chu Yiyun frowned: "abandoned crown prince and Prince Qi are really so brave to even dare to do something that is prohibited by the Imperial Family?"

Su Guogang said: "abandoned crown prince and Prince Qi dare to kill each other, what else do they not dare not do?"

Su Guoyong nodded: "I'm afraid so."

Chu Yiyun frowned even more.

Su Guoyong carefully asked, "Your Highness, then, do you want me to investigate? If you find out anything, you can hand it over to His Majesty right away. "

"Of course!" Chu Yiyun said with a cold face, "However, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find the evidence."

"That's right!" Su Guogang interrupted, "If there is evidence, then abandoned crown prince and Prince Qi are done for! Those people from the brothel and Gambling House will not be able to keep them, so in order to protect abandoned crown prince and their own lives, I'm afraid they will not accept us. "

Su Guoyong said: "Of course I won't openly ask them, I will think of another way to investigate."

Chu Yiyun said: "Go and check their accounts. If they have a split account to pay, they will have a record. This can be used as evidence to prove their conviction. "

"Alright!" Su Guoyong turned his head and said excitedly, "Let's see your subordinate bring back good news for you!"

"Also," Chu Yiyun said, "secretly send a message to the Crown’s Master, tell him to come see me as soon as he leaves the court."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The morning assembly of the day ended exceptionally early.

In the imperial court, the Old Eunuch was still discussing about modifying the terms of the water conservancy agreement when he suddenly entered and whispered into the ears of the Emperor, Chu Zhe, and told Chu Zhe everything that had been said in the Ji City.

Chu Zhe was enraged, he immediately stood up and asked: "What's going on?"

The ministers of the imperial court shuddered for no reason.

The eunuch lowered his head and said, "Her Highness the Empress would like to invite His Majesty to return to the palace to discuss how to deal with the situation."

"What kind of plan are you discussing!?" Chu Zhe's face was ashen, there was no trace of his usual gentleness and benevolence. Anger surged out of his eyes, "Have you finished investigating the Justice Division case?"

The manager of the Justice Division hurriedly stepped out, he was clear what kind of case the Emperor was asking about. However, regarding the case between Chu Yizhao and Princess Qi, although Justice Division had obtained the authority to investigate, it was still extremely unsuitable for him to do so. Two days had passed without any progress in the case, and now that the Emperor had asked, how was he supposed to explain it?

After all, this concerned the innocence of the crown prince and the Princess Qi, the Imperial Family's reputation, and the Emperor's face.

Chu Zhe didn't wait for manager of the Justice Division to reply and left with a face full of anger.

The eunuch in front of the palace shouted, "Withdraw!"
